Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 146 Traveler, you're under arrest!

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the world of One Piece.

"Kuzan, watch out, or I'll hit you!"

"Hahahaha... Fist Bone! Meteor Shower!"

On a warship, naval hero Vice Admiral Garp is relentlessly hurling countless shells at the two combatants.

The sea was turbulent, and the warship was in mid-air on its right side.

Suzuki raised his twin swords to block the ice spear thrust by Admiral Aokiji, while also catching a glimpse of the dense barrage of cannonballs hurtling towards him.

"Oh my, traveler, no, Suzuki-kun!" Aokiji's eyes crinkled with laughter as a torrent of cold white energy emanated from his arm, flowing along the ice spear towards Suzuki. "This time, you're not getting away with it!"

As a powerful figure standing atop the ocean, Garp's cannonballs were covered with his honed Armament Haki.

"If I get hit, it could be really bad," Suzuki thought to himself, narrowing his eyes.

In the next instant, he immediately used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Accompanied by a large amount of white smoke, dozens of shadow clones appeared and quickly formed hand seals to perform ninjutsu while falling from the sky.

"Wind Release: Wind Blade Technique!"

"Water escape! Water formation wall!"

"Water Release: Water Ripple"

"Fire Release..."

Raging flames and sharp wind blades rushed towards Aokiji, the attack even engulfing Suzuki himself.

The sea below was suddenly engulfed in flames, hissing and spewing large amounts of white steam.

At the same time, streams of seawater were lifted up by the water jutsu used by the shadow clones. However, just as these seawater were about to rise into the air and block the cannonballs for Suzuki,

"The Ice Age!"

Aokiji's eyes were sharp, and his grasp of the battle situation was incredibly meticulous.

In less than a second, the seawater within a radius of hundreds of miles was completely frozen, and the water flow caused by the ninjutsu used by the shadow clones turned into ice pillars standing upright on the sea surface!

In an instant, all was quiet.

Since his defeat in the last battle, he has conducted extensive research and analysis on Suzuki's abilities to ensure that when he encounters Suzuki again on the high seas, he will not be defeated by various unexpected events as before.

"Hoo~ Suzuki, I am a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user. Even if Garp's cannonballs are imbued with Armament Haki, they won't have much of an effect on me."

Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold white air, his expression calm, but he secretly increased the force in his hand on the ice spear, and his Observation Haki was constantly activated.

"Really? I thought Mr. Garp was going to kill us both." Suzuki joked casually with a relaxed expression.

But he had become serious; the grim situation was truly unexpected.

Suzuki never expected that he would be so unlucky as to encounter Garp's warship while sailing on the high seas. What was even more unfortunate was that not only Garp was on the warship, but Aokiji was also there.

These two are capable of chasing the entire Roger Pirates wherever they go!

Of course, it might not be an accident, since the Navy has been keeping an eye on him.

Suzuki glanced at the frozen sea below and frowned.

Although Aokiji's main purpose in activating Ice Age was to interrupt the water-style ninjutsu released by his shadow clones, the thick, hard ice also prevented him from escaping.

Otherwise, with his purified Devil Fruit, he could have easily escaped by diving into the sea.

"Oh dear, Suzuki-kun still loves to joke around." Aokiji's expression turned serious; he was no longer swayed by words. "Too bad, you can't escape this time!"

Perhaps, this time I'm really going to fail...

Suzuki couldn't help but think to himself, then his expression turned serious as he racked his brains for a solution.

The next second, a swift shell arrived, and the two entangled figures were instantly engulfed in the explosion.

Bang bang bang!!

In mid-air, amidst swirling smoke, the ice spear in Aokiji's hand shattered, breaking into pieces that crashed down onto the frozen sea below.

"Cough cough... Mr. Garp really shows no mercy~" Suzuki said, enduring the pain.

At this moment, his neat black trench coat was stained with some bright red blood and covered with large areas of charred burns.

Even though he had long since covered his entire body with Armament Haki, and the Gluttony Fruit had turned his body into a hard alloy, and his chakra was also fully engaged in defense.

Even so, Suzuki was still seriously injured by the shells thrown by Garp.

The explosion itself is nothing compared to the terrifying force of the shells hitting the ground.

The next moment, before the smoke had even cleared...

With a resolute expression, Suzuki shattered all the ice on his arms, and then a large number of wind-blown shells emerged from under his feet, preparing to escape from the air.

However, at that moment, Aokiji's calm voice came from within the smoke: "Suzuki-kun, it's no use."

As the sound rang out, all the smoke turned into ice shards and fell straight down, revealing Aokiji's unharmed figure.

"Hahahaha... Kuzan, what's this brat trying to do?"

Upon seeing a large amount of white gas emanating from Suzuki's feet, Garp on the warship looked puzzled and shouted loudly at Aokiji.

"Oh, Mr. Garp, he wants to..."

Before Aokiji could finish speaking, Suzuki suddenly shot into the air at a speed as fast as a rocket.

"I see." Garp narrowed his eyes, then grinned and said, "I can't let you get away right under my nose, or Sengoku would laugh himself to death~"

An invisible aura erupted instantly, and the warship's planks shattered violently!

Garp's gaze sharpened as he shouted at Aokiji, "Cooperate with me, Kuzan!"

"Yes!" Aokiji replied expectantly.

Immediately, Garp shot towards Suzuki like an arrow released from a bow, the air shattering at his incredible speed, creating a sonic boom.

"That's... the Moonwalk of the Six Powers!" Suzuki glanced down at Garp and his eyes widened in shock. "Wait... what the hell? Can Moonwalk be this powerful?"

The Moon Walk of the Navy's Six Styles is essentially an upgraded version of the Shave, which can only stay in the air for a short time and is extremely energy-consuming.

However, in mid-air, the air that seemed to have no foundation was like a solid entity under Garp's feet. With each step, the naval hero created sparks that seemed to explode in the air, and he actually ran straight through the air!

Suzuki almost thought Garp had learned the Eight Gates Formation somewhere; his running posture was so similar to Might Guy's in the future.

"So this is a monster~" Suzuki grinned.

next moment.

Countless gun barrels, cannon barrels, and shellfish simultaneously appeared on his body.

Suzuki, disregarding his own injuries, decisively responded as the monstrous powerhouse at his peak, Garp, closed the distance to him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Countless bullets and shells flew towards Garp, followed by Slash Beret's slashes, Impact Beret's impacts, Flame Beret's fire, and Water Beret's water...

Looking at the attacks that almost filled the entire sky above, Aokiji couldn't help but marvel, "Suzuki-kun's scale is still as spectacular as ever!"

"Kuzan!!"

Just then, Garp's loud voice rang out.

Aokiji snapped out of his daze and then, with a serious expression, stretched out his hands toward the sky.

"Ice Ball!"

Several long ice pillars shot out from Aokiji's palm and flew rapidly toward the cannonballs, bullets, and various attacks from Suzuki, including slashes, water, and fire.

The moment the icicles arrived, a bone-chilling cold air was released.

In an instant, all the attacks were frozen, and even the slashing waves were forcibly blocked by the hard ice pillars. Moreover, these ice blocks continued to interfere with Suzuki's actions at Aokiji's deliberate request.

"Well done, Kuzan." Garp grinned, then leaped among the numerous ice blocks that hadn't yet fallen, his speed even faster than before.

"Hahaha, take this punch, you little traveler brat!"

Garp rushed towards Suzuki at an unimaginable speed, and the two locked in a stalemate in mid-air for a while.

The air, the frozen bullets and shells, and even the clouds in the sky were all shattered by the aftershocks of Suzuki and Garp's punches.

Then...

Bang! ! !

Even faster than the rocket as it rises are the meteorites as they fall.

Suzuki was ultimately struck by Garp's terrifying punch and immediately plummeted to the ground!

The thick, hard ice below was instantly smashed into a crater nearly 100 meters deep, and long cracks were also exposed on the ice surface thousands of meters outside the crater!

"Cough cough... That was really heavy, that fist." Suzuki lay in the pit, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Just then, Aokiji walked over calmly.

He stood outside the pit, just as the incident between Suzuki and him had happened before.

"Suzuki, you look really disheveled. Maybe I should take a picture of you."

Aokiji smiled slightly and teased.

"Cough cough..." Suzuki coughed up another mouthful of blood, glancing irritably at Aokiji who was watching the show, and retorted through the pain, "Don't be shameless, all the injuries on my body were inflicted by Mr. Garp. Even if it's recorded, it has nothing to do with you!"

As he spoke, Suzuki secretly used the power of the Gluttony Fruit to create a hot shell beneath him, which, with the help of the blood as cover, began to melt the ice below.

In fact, this is the only escape plan he can think of right now. After all, the ice on the ice isn't particularly thick, and he's only a dozen meters away from the seawater beneath it.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be no surprises this time.

Perhaps because he trusted Garp too much, Aokiji, who knew the power of Garp's punches, couldn't help but relax his guard a little after seeing Suzuki's current miserable state.

"Oh dear, still being stubborn at a time like this? Suzuki-kun."

Aokiji shook his head helplessly, then sat on the edge of the pit, crossed his legs, and said with some emotion:

"We agreed to send you to Impel Down. Although it wasn't my doing this time, Mr. Garp probably just didn't want to bother with such trouble. Heh, in the end, I'm the one who sent you in."

"Suzuki, I've been following you all along. I know you're not actually a bloodthirsty person, you..."

Where? Impel Down?

Suzuki paused involuntarily as he dug the hole.

Ignoring Aokiji's incessant chatter and the intense pain coursing through his body, Suzuki narrowed his eyes and calmly pondered the situation.

In the ninja world, the researchers have just mastered the Devil Fruit cloning technology, and now is the time when they need a large number of Devil Fruits. Simply relying on hunting Devil Fruit users will not yield many fruits in a short period of time.

Since that's the case, why don't we just go into Impel Down?

Suzuki quickly made a decision.

He glanced at the still chattering Aokiji and silently put the hot bottle back.

"Ahem...Alright, just arrest me if you want. Why all the fuss? Mr. Aokiji, come on."

Suzuki, expressionless, tremblingly stretched out his hands, like a prisoner who had accepted the facts and confessed to his crime.

"Uh... alright then." Aokiji stopped talking, then stood up and jumped into the pit.

After approaching Suzuki, he took out a pair of sea stone handcuffs from his waist and sighed deeply: "I'm serious, if you..."

"Alright, hurry up." Suzuki was getting impatient.

"Uh... alright," Aokiji said seriously, handcuffing Suzuki's hands with seastone cuffs.

"Traveler, you're under arrest!"

"oh."

"..."

Looking at Suzuki's unresponsive expression, Aokiji suddenly felt incredibly bored.

He then helped Suzuki onto the warship.

"Kuzan, you're finally back." Garp stood on the warship, grinning broadly as he stated his needs: "Hurry up and get rid of the ice! We're running low on senbei (rice crackers), I need to hurry back to Sengoku and get more, hahaha..."

"Okay, Mr. Garp!" Aokiji nodded and quickly turned the sea back into seawater.

Some time later, Garp left on a warship.

Meanwhile, Aokiji transferred to another warship and escorted Suzuki on a continued voyage towards Impel Down...
