Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 99 Encounter with Aokiji

"elder brother!"

Carmel Seizer felt his body being grabbed by his brother in horror.

The next second, Suzuki easily chopped off his head!

"."

Suzuki frowned and stood still, staring at the headless body that had fallen to the ground.

"Forget it, let's eat this person first, lest the Devil Fruit escape."

After quickly tidying up the body on the spot, Suzuki casually swallowed it.

Seeing that Suzuki was no longer giving chase, Captain Adiri Sezel ran even faster!

"Hahaha, I ran away!"

"Once I leave by ship, the travelers will not be able to catch up. I will return when I go to the New World."

"A traveler? Not really."

Adiri looked at the pirate ship he was about to board, his face full of excitement at surviving the ordeal, and even a thought of revenge against Suzuki rose in his heart.

"Bang!"

"."

With a calm expression, Suzuki walked toward Adiri's body lying in front of the wooden stairs, slowly retracting the dark muzzle of his gun as he walked.

After expertly packing up the body again, he swallowed it whole without batting an eye.

After waiting for half an hour, the two snake-snake fruits were reborn in the space and then spat out the corpses of the two brothers.

He walked calmly toward the edge of the island.

A short while later, Suzuki, who was about to leave in his small boat looking at the boundless blue sea, suddenly stopped.

Immediately, a magnetic, languid voice came from behind him:

"Oh, traveler? Excuse me, could you come with me to Impel Down?"

At the same time, countless wisps of cold air began to spread from the surrounding area, freezing the entire island and even the sea surface near it.

In an instant, it was as if the seasons had changed.

Despite it being the sweltering heat of July and August, the temperature on the island suddenly plummeted to tens of degrees below zero!

Suzuki turned around and saw a tall, thin man in a black coat, wearing small black sunglasses, exhaling white breath, looking at him with a relaxed expression.

This is none other than Aokiji Kuzan, one of the three future admirals of the Navy and now a candidate admiral!

but

"Oh, sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush, so I might not have time to go to Impel Down with you."

Suzuki calmly replied to Aokiji's suggestion.

Upon hearing Suzuki's reply, Aokiji lazily said again:

"Oh my, this guy is really good at joking."

"Whether you're in a hurry or not doesn't matter if I take you to Impel Down~"

"Besides, Impel Down is not a place for playing around."

Suzuki narrowed his eyes, knowing that this battle was likely unavoidable, and slowly placed his hands on the twin swords at his waist.

Then, in a joking manner, he said:

"When did Mr. Kuzan become a tour guide for Impel Down?"

Are you trying to solicit customers by force?

"I'm so sorry, I am indeed quite interested in Impel Down, but I still hope to have the opportunity to go and see it for myself sometime in the future."

"Don't worry, I know the way. There's no need to trouble Mr. Kuzan with such a small matter."

"If you're really bored, you can go explore the New World, or I can even tell you where Mr. Garp is~"

As he spoke, Suzuki was also thinking about the battle that was about to begin.

Aokiji is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, Ice-Ice Fruit, and his strength is so great that he is close to being a monster. In a few years, he will become a true monster and stand at the pinnacle of the sea.

Both the wide-ranging environmental impact of the Ice-Ice Fruit and Aokiji's inherent strength made Suzuki cautious.

If he were in his complete form, he would still be confident that he could put up a fight against this future admiral.

However, he is just a clone, currently possessing only the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit ability, and his physical attributes are only about twenty times stronger.

In terms of raw power, there is no doubt that he is far inferior to Aokiji.

"Therefore, we need more surprise tactics in battle."

Suzuki was deep in thought.

Just then, Aokiji's expression turned serious, and visible white cold air gradually emanated from his body.

As he slowly walked towards Suzuki, he replied:

"Yeah?"

"You know where Mr. Garp is, huh?"

"Unfortunately, Marshal Kong and Lieutenant General He ordered me to capture you and bring you back."

"Although I am very concerned about Mr. Garp, I will send you to Impel Down first. I hope that you can tell me where Mr. Garp is after we get there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aokiji's slow walking suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Suzuki!

"Frozen Moment~"

Aokiji opened his arms wide, his tall and slender figure seeming to be embracing her, and the cold air emanating from him quickly flowed towards Suzuki, as if he would freeze the figure in his arms into an ice block in the next moment.

"Bang!"

With a calm expression, Suzuki drew his twin swords, blocking Aokiji's hands that were about to come together.

Then, the twin swords slashed down Aokiji's arm toward his neck, easily severing the head of this future Marine Admiral!

"."

"Young man, your knife is quite sharp, considering my ice is rather hard."

"But it's no use~"

Aokiji calmly restored his head to its original state, and his body instantly turned into a block of ice.

This is the elemental transformation unique to Logia-type Devil Fruits. Aokiji, who has turned into an ice block, is completely immune to physical attacks. Even if Suzuki cuts off his head, it will leave him unharmed.

However, Suzuki paid no heed and swung his twin swords again, unleashing dozens of slashes in a very short time.

"You really won't listen to advice. I've already told you, it's no use."

"Come with me to Impel Down, traveler."

Even as his body was mercilessly cleaved in two, Aokiji patiently continued to persuade Suzuki not to make any futile resistance or attacks.

His elemental form remains completely unaffected whether his head is severed or he is chopped into pieces.

At this moment, Aokiji even felt that Suzuki probably wouldn't be able to use his Haki.

After all, Suzuki hadn't shown any of that in previous battles.

The Navy's intelligence also found no record of this traveler ever going to the New World. Since Suzuki has been staying in the Four Seas and Paradise, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to learn Haki.

Moreover, when they attacked him, they seemed to be newcomers facing elementalization for the first time.

However.

"I don't think so~"

Suzuki calmly looked at the unharmed Aokiji in front of him.

The next moment, the Flame Shell and Heat Shell that he had prepared on his body were instantly activated.

In an instant, a torrent of flames erupted, the close proximity of which obscured Aokiji's vision, and the extremely high temperature even slowed down his recovery.

At the same time, Suzuki silently imbued his twin swords with Armament Haki and swung them down again.
