Iron-Armed Gula's knees were still embedded in the rubble.

It wasn't that I didn't want to stand up, but rather that the lingering aura of dominance hadn't completely dissipated.

It was like an invisible hand pressing down on his spine, making him feel like his bones were about to break with every inch he lifted.

He looked up and saw that Blood Axe Barrett's chest had been dented by Garp's punch, and he was flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

It smashed through two walls and became embedded in the rubble, without even having a chance to scream.

A reward of 230 million yuan is offered.

One punch.

Gula's breathing suddenly stopped.

Then he saw Karp turn his head.

Those eyes, those eyes known as the "Naval Hero's," held no anger, no will to fight.

There is only a cold, emotionless judgment, like a butcher eyeing a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

"run!!!"

Gula practically uttered the word from his throat.

Under the threat of death, the power of the Steel Fruit erupted at full force, and a gray metallic sheen spread from his hands to his arms, and from his arms to his entire body.

His legs transformed into steel in a fraction of a second, and the ground beneath his feet cracked under the sudden increase in weight.

He turned and ran.

The sea serpent Mona reacted faster than him.

She understood the moment Garp made his move: the Navy was going to silence her.

Eliminate all witnesses and anyone who might spread the news that "Akainu killed a Celestial Dragon".

In that instant, her legs transformed into a thick snake tail, its scales gleaming with a dark blue light in the setting sun.

The snake's tail sprang to the ground, and its entire body shot out close to the ground, as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

Snake-Snake Fruit - Sea Snake Form.

On land, her snake tail's explosive power can't compare to a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user's jumping ability, but her instantaneous acceleration is absolutely top-notch.

The two fled frantically in two different directions, one on the left and one on the right.

With each step Gula took, he left a deep steel footprint in the ground, making the ground thud loudly.

His steel-like body crashed directly into a building on the street, the wall in front of him being smashed through as if it were made of paper.

Mona, however, chose a different path.

The snake's tail meandered through the ruins, as agile as a real sea serpent.

She didn't turn around, but her Observation Haki was frantically warning her—that chilling aura was approaching.

Icy.

Blue pheasant.

Mona's snake-like eyes shrank to a thin line.

She opened her mouth, as if trying to shout something—perhaps a plea for mercy, perhaps a bargaining chip, or perhaps just a simple scream.

But she couldn't make a sound.

An indescribable chill began at the tip of her tail, traveled along her tail, lumbar vertebrae, spine, and shoulders, and swept over her entire body in less than a breath.

The deep blue luster on the scales was sealed within a transparent layer of ice, like a specimen encased in amber.

Her hands were still in the motion of shoveling through the rubble, her knuckles distinct and veins bulging, but she could no longer move them.

Her lips parted slightly, her scream frozen in her throat, turning into a cloud of white mist that froze into tiny ice crystals before it could dissipate.

"Alara".

A lazy voice came from behind her.

Aokiji slid down the ice track, hands in his pockets, and with each step, the ice beneath his feet spread outwards by three feet.

"We can't let you leave now."

He didn't look at Mona again, but turned his gaze to the series of humanoid holes that Iron-Armed Gula had smashed in the distance.

His figure flashed.

The blue pheasant disappeared from its spot, leaving only two shallow cracks on the ice.

The next second, he appeared in the ruins a hundred meters away, his right hand already pulled out of his pocket.

A layer of pale blue ice crystals covered his palm, and the cold air surged in his palm, forming a small ice vortex.

He raised his hand and gently waved it in Gula's direction.

"Ice Time".

A huge ice spike shot out from the palm of his hand, moving so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The icicles emitted a sharp whistling sound as they pierced the air, and the frost that had condensed on their surface left a white trail in the air.

Gula sensed the killing intent behind him.

He whirled around, his steel-like arms crossed over his chest, his legs planted firmly in the ground, and a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"Hehehe! I'm Iron Man! Iron! You can freeze me—"

Before he could finish speaking...

The ice spike that shot out struck his chest.

The hardened skin of the Steel Fruit was as fragile as glass in the face of Aokiji's attack.

An icicle pierced through his chest and emerged from his back, carrying shards of ice and frozen flesh, embedding itself in the wall behind him.

Gula looked down at the fist-sized ice hole in his chest.

There was no blood.

Because the blood was frozen before it flowed out.

"Hmm... Heh..."

Before he could finish laughing...

The chill from the ice picks began to spread through his body.

It spreads outward from the wound, from the blood to the muscles, and from the muscles to the bones.

His body was frozen from the inside out, and his steel-hardened skin turned from gray to white, and from white to transparent.

In less than three seconds, Iron Arm Gula turned into an ice sculpture.

Cooler, with a bounty of 150 million Berries, couldn't even withstand a single blow.

Aokiji withdrew his hand, glanced at the ice sculpture, and remained expressionless.

"The Iron-Steel Fruit has decent defensive capabilities."

He turned around and walked towards Mona.

"Unfortunately, they encountered the wrong opponent."

Behind him, the ice sculpture shattered with a crash.

Iron-Armed Gula's body shattered like a piece of glass struck by a heavy hammer, breaking into hundreds of tiny ice crystals scattered all over the ground.

At that moment, Mona, the sea serpent frozen in ice, saw Aokiji walking back from a distance, hands in his pockets, his steps lazy, as if he had just finished a trivial matter.

Her snake-like eyes were filled with fear.

Aokiji walked up to her and stopped.

He looked down at her, his lazy eyes holding no murderous intent, no pity, only a programmed calm.

"Feel sorry."

He raised his hand.

"This is my job."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark red light shone from the end of the street.

Akainu's right arm had become completely elementalized, with crimson magma churning on his fist, and the intense heat distorting and deforming the surrounding air.

He walked through lava, each step leaving a pool of churning lava on the ground.

"Kuzan! Get out of the way!!"

Akainu's voice was deep and violent.

Aokiji frowned slightly and stepped aside.

The next second, a torrent of blazing white lava engulfed the sea serpent Mona.

Mona, trapped in an ice shell, had her ice shell melt and vaporize the moment the magma touched her, and then her body instantly disintegrated under the combined attack of ice and fire.

There were no screams.

Because there was no time to scream.

Flesh and blood vaporized in the magma, and bones melted under the high temperature, leaving not even ashes behind.

one strike.

Mona, the "Sea Serpent" with a bounty of 180 million Berries, was reduced to ashes.

Akainu retracted his right arm, and the magma slowly receded, revealing his skin again.

He stared blankly at the still churning lava pool before him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Three notorious pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million were all killed within minutes.

One was crushed to death by Garp's iron fist. One was frozen into pieces by Aokiji. One was burned to ashes by Akainu.

Three people, three ways to die, all leading to the same end—silencing.

Roy stood in mid-air, taking in the entire scene.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
