Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

"Magellan is your good friend!"

The words were uttered slowly and laboredly, and Aokiji's face grew increasingly heavy and grim.

"That was before. Now that you've all started to gang up on me, do you expect me to dance or sing for you?"

"Besides, it's not like we haven't killed before."

As he spoke calmly, Mad Owl tilted his head as if to relax his muscles.

boom!

Just as the mad owl tilted his head, a sea stone armor-piercing bullet imbued with a strong aura of dominance grazed past his ear.

"It's pretty annoying."

Madman turned to look at CP0, who was about to pull the trigger again, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

The icy white world instantly plunged into a gloomy darkness, with crimson lightning, tinged with purplish-black, indiscriminately destroying everything around it.

The earth was collapsing everywhere, even the thick slabs overhead were cracked, and thick, hot magma slid down from the cracks, crashing onto the ice with a hissing sound.

Even the walls of Impel Down, far away, were cracked, and seawater sprayed out like high-pressure water jets.

"How is this possible? He was frozen for eighteen years, so why has his Conqueror's Haki become even stronger?!"

Under the invisible pressure, Aokiji was filled with doubt and surprise, but he dared not slacken his movements in the slightest.

A burst of icy gas erupted from Aokiji's body, plunging the entire fifth level of Impel Down into an even colder, deeper chill.

The half-dripped lava froze into hard stone, and the ground beneath our feet was covered with a thick layer of solid ice.

The naval soldiers who had fainted were also encased in ice, which, while inevitably causing frostbite, temporarily saved their lives.

Moreover, with the advancement of the project as the central focus, the originally deep blue ocean has been transformed into a glacial white sea hundreds of meters deep.

"That's more like it, little green chick!"

The mad owl threw down the chains, laughed arrogantly, and the next moment, accompanied by the mournful cry of the earth, the pitch-black figure appeared in front of Aokiji.

"Lightning Claw!"

Dark purple lightning erupted from the armor, converging on his hands to form a pair of enormous claws, each a meter in diameter.

Then, the excess Armament Haki instantly coated the claws with a jet-black color.

With its claws lashing out at incredible speed and without any discernible pattern, half of Aokiji's body was torn into tiny ice crystals by the flash of its claws.

Then, the remaining half of its body was firmly locked in its left claw.

"You didn't run away, little green chicken!"

Although Aokiji had already actively transformed into an elemental form, Kuangxiao had already firmly locked up most of his body.

And what followed the words was a merciless, forceful grip.

"I've caught you, Eternal Winter!"

However, Aokiji remained completely calm in the face of adversity. A pale, chilling aura emanated from his entire body, and solid ice crystals rapidly spread from his claws.

Unlike the feeling of being separated by an iceberg, this chill instantly numbed the senses of flesh and blood.

Without a second thought, Mad Owl immediately destroyed the sharp claws formed from solidified lightning on his hands and escaped.

The claw fragments instantly turned ice-white and fell to the ground, shattering into dust.

The spreading freezing air even turned the already frozen ground beneath our feet into an icy white, spreading throughout the entire fifth level of hell.

"It's not about predicting the future, it's about reading minds."

The broken yet resilient ice flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, Aokiji's missing half of his body was restored.

"That's it, he actually froze his own mind. No wonder he's a great general."

The mad owl raised his arm, watching as the newly grown flesh and blood replaced and pushed aside the frozen, rotten remains.

He didn't become discouraged because of this, after all, his mind-reading ability, which he had only recently awakened, was not yet fully developed.

With Aokiji's response, he can only perceive some inner turmoil intermittently and vaguely.

However, Kuang Xiao was quite satisfied with this situation, as it meant that this year's generals were not mixed up with any charlatans and did not tarnish the reputation of the generals.

"Go, I can't stop you."

Faced with the leisurely mad owl, Aokiji remained silent for a moment before uttering a startling statement.

"What's wrong? You're already losing interest?"

However, even though Aokiji had frozen most of his thoughts and hidden his ideas, Kuang Xiao immediately saw through his predicament.

That bold act of using oneself as bait just now could not possibly have been a tentative, probing attack.

Aokiji used his Devil Fruit power almost beyond his limits, but he still underestimated the strength of the mad owl's body.

Not only did they fail to secure a decisive victory and freeze the mad owl once again, their combat power also decreased by at least 30%.

"Let's continue!"

"Ice Saber!"

Aokiji's heart tightened, but his face remained calm. He exhaled a breath of freezing air, which formed a sharp longsword in his hand.

Where is my stormy night?

However, faced with Aokiji's vigorous preparations, Kuang Xiao lost interest, curled his lip, and asked lazily.

"The Five Elders took it away, probably in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, but I don't know exactly where."

As someone who knew Kuang Xiao from eighteen years ago, Qingzhi naturally knew Kuang Xiao's personality and relaxed a little.

"Tch, a bunch of old codgers."

Kuang Xiao clicked his tongue lightly, and the armor on his body gradually turned into black smoke and disappeared.

"Hey little chick, wanna join me?"

Caught off guard, Kuangxiao stretched out his arms and gave a big yawn before making a suggestion to Qingzhi.

"Don't call me Little Green Chicken, I'm at least 6 years older than you... What are your plans?"

Aokiji silently withdrew his chilling aura and asked Kuangxiao, who looked on with slight surprise.

"Kuzan, you've changed too...!"

Kuzan looked Kuzan up and down, marveling at his lazy demeanor.

"I plan to establish a set of laws for this world. The first law is that anyone who intentionally kills an innocent person will be executed. As for the others... why don't you help me think of some?"

Upon hearing this, Aokiji naturally thought of the reason why the Mad Hawk had defected from the Navy.

My mood became somewhat heavy.

However, on the one hand, we don't know what the Heavenly Laws he mentioned are, how they are implemented, or how effective they are.

On the other hand, he didn't believe that Mad Owl had the ability to go toe-to-toe with the World Government.

"Never mind, I'll invite you again when I've achieved some results. You won't refuse then."

As he spoke, Kuang Xiao picked up the thick, long sea stone chain and strode past him.

Aokiji watched silently as Kuangxiao moved further and further away from the elevator amidst the clanging sounds, until he reached the edge of hell.

Then, with a deafening roar, the thick, resilient walls of Impel Down, along with the hundreds of meters of frozen ice, were blasted through with a single punch.

The owl swam into the sea, facing the surging waves.

"Eighteen years of exhaustion did not weaken him; on the contrary, it helped him overcome the restraint of the Seastone."

"This is...getting more and more terrifying."

After a long while, Aokiji exhaled a breath of bloody, chilling air and sighed sincerely.
