Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Countless icy swords piled up Joz into a small snow mountain, but the Ice Warriors didn't stop. The icy swords, which kept disappearing and reappearing, continued to shoot towards Joz's location.

"Hahaha... Fool, this is what happens when you ignore me!" After seeing that he had dealt with the enemy, the Frostwalker laughed and said.

However, when he looked towards Whitebeard again, the body of the previously severely injured level 42 expert was slowly disappearing.

The Iceman's lips twitched involuntarily. The lineup they had sent this time was quite impressive: nine experts above level 40, plus himself, making a total of ten; more than fifteen experts above level 30; and even more warriors below level 30.

Chapter 1028 Fierce Battle (Part Six)

Seeing the way the local leader was looking at him, the Frostbringer couldn't help but swallow hard. The murderous aura emanating from the man with the white crescent-shaped beard made him feel uneasy.

"Hahaha……"

Just as the Frostbringer was considering how to continue the battle, Reina's laughter reached his ears.

"Thank you so much!"

Suddenly, Reina appeared at the edge of the snow-capped mountain, his Hyōrinmaru sword planted directly on it. The snow-capped mountain that had buried the powerful enemy was rapidly disappearing.

The Frostbringer knew that the other party was absorbing his frost energy, but he didn't think there was any point in doing so now. Even if he could replenish some energy, that idiot was beyond saving.

However, after Reina absorbed the icy energy, Joz, whose entire body was covered in diamonds, did nothing but shiver and acted as if nothing had happened.

This completely shattered the Iceborn's worldview. Staring at Joz in disbelief, he roared, "Why are you alright?"

"Why would I need anything?" the good-natured Joz rolled his eyes and replied.

"You...you..." The Iceman was also dumbfounded, but with the strength Joz had shown, he was definitely no match for his attack.

It was only then that the Frostbender noticed the layer of diamonds covering Joz and suddenly understood.

"Damn it... I won't let you get away with this!" The Iceman said, about to charge at Joz, but quickly realized that with the two extraterrestrials who had been entangled with Reina, plus himself, they were now evenly matched with the enemy.

Whitebeard could easily handle one, and Jozu could hold off another without much trouble, so could he fight Reina? With his abilities countered, he knew he was no match for Reina.

Moreover, at this time, reinforcements from the Whitebeard Pirates will arrive soon. Once they join the battle, the extraterrestrial visitors' most advantageous force will be greatly weakened.

However, he was somewhat unwilling to retreat now. Apart from their side, the other level 40 powerhouses were gaining the upper hand in the battle, and together with the level 30 extraterrestrial visitors, they had now completely suppressed the Whitebeard Pirates' captains.

He didn't believe that the reinforcements were any powerful experts. He thought that as long as they held on, they could still turn the tide once the other level 40 experts dealt with their opponents.

Reina didn't give him time to hesitate. After Whitebeard and Jozu were freed, Reina gave them a wink and then charged straight at the Iceman. Whitebeard and Jozu also stopped the two level 40 warriors who were chasing after him, creating an environment for Reina to fight the Iceman one-on-one.

At this moment, Reina did not use Hyōrinmaru. Although Hyōrinmaru had absorbed some of the opponent's energy, Reina had his own ideas and wanted to catch the opponent off guard, so he simply used Senbonzakura instead.

The Iceman, who was contemplating whether to retreat, saw Reina charging towards him. Without thinking twice, he reported his situation to the Extinction Lord and then engaged Reina in battle.

However, he was wary of Hyōrinmaru's abilities, so he did not use his own.

The Iceman, who did not use his ice abilities, was no match for Reina, who wielded the Thousand Cherry Blossoms, and was forced to retreat steadily under Reina's pressure.

"Damn it!" Before any news came from the Venerable One's side, the Ice Master disregarded everything else and went all out, releasing ice energy that caused the surrounding air temperature to drop significantly.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?" Reina was unaffected, and smiled slightly as the Senbonzakura in his hand disappeared.

"Crackling sound~ Crackling sound..."

The reappearing Senbonzakura went straight to the Ice Master's side, but before she could attack the enemy, she was completely frozen by the Ice Master's energy.

If the Iceman doesn't use his abilities, he would have to be completely focused on Senbonzakura to avoid her attacks. However, Reina's offensive forces him to be distracted by defense, making it very easy for Senbonzakura to launch a sneak attack. This is one of the reasons why he has to use his abilities.

"Now... let's see what else you can do!" After freezing the Thousand Cherry Blossoms, the Iceman finally smiled; he had guessed correctly.

After fighting him, Reina stopped using the weapon that could counter him and switched to Senbonzakura. He guessed that the opponent's weapon also required energy, so Reina should not be able to use Hyōrinmaru's ability now.

But soon, Reiner told him how naive his idea was.

"Seated amidst the frost! Hyōrinmaru!" The frozen Senbonzakura was deactivated by Reina's Bankai mode and returned to his waist. However, amidst countless snowflakes, Hyōrinmaru reappeared, a giant ice dragon covering Reina's body, completing Hyōrinmaru's Bankai mode.

"This... how is this possible?" The Iceman stared blankly at Hyōrinmaru, which had reappeared in Reina's hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Reina smiled slightly. He naturally wouldn't tell the other party that although Hyōrinmaru's energy had been greatly depleted, it could be converted into energy through his physical strength to keep Hyōrinmaru active.

Having absorbed the icy energy emanating from the air, Hyōrinmaru became even more active. However, Reina did not use Hyōrinmaru to attack the Ice Warriors. He could rely on Hyōrinmaru to absorb the icy energy, and the damage Hyōrinmaru caused to the ice would also be greatly reduced.

His purpose in using Hyōrinmaru was simply to eliminate the opponent's abilities.

After activating Hyōrinmaru's Bankai mode, Reina vanished from his spot, immediately putting the Iceborne on edge.

"Oh!"

Reina's whip kick was blocked by the Iceman's arm, making his arm go numb. Before he could react further, Reina's eyes began to flash with an eerie red light, causing the Iceman to pause. By the time he reacted again, Hyōrinmaru was already next to his neck.

He managed to avoid the vital area around the neck with all his might, but was then struck in the chest by Reina's elbow, sending him flying.

The situation on the Iceborne's side immediately attracted the attention of the other extraterrestrial visitors. Powerful individuals above level 40 all unleashed their power, wanting to retreat from their opponents and rush to the rescue. However, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates became excited, and they did their best to stop their respective opponents from breaking through their defenses to rescue the Iceborne.

"Poison Dance!" After sending Rakuyo back to the Moby Dick, Reiju returned to the battle, joined by the captains of Whitebeard's pirate crew. Many of them were no less powerful than the captains, and their addition boosted the Whitebeard Pirates' fighting strength.

"Very good! Separate the battlefield on Reina's side and prevent them from going to rescue him. Prioritize dealing with those level 40 powerhouses!" Marco shouted to the reinforcements while fighting a level 30 alien visitor.

Chapter 1029 Reina VS The Iceman

The Whitebeard Pirates have already gained a lot in this battle; the 12th Division Commander, Harta, has killed a level 30 alien.

Whitebeard also killed a level 42 powerhouse, and now Reina might be able to kill a titled user. If they can really accomplish that, then this harvest will be huge.

Although many captains were seriously injured, especially those who fought with Marco here, apart from Marco, they have basically all returned to the Moby Dick for treatment.

But as long as no one dies, it's not a big deal, and they can accept such a loss.

"Rolling Force - Winch Breaks!"

While the extraterrestrial visitors were focused on the Frostwalkers, Vinsmoke Yonji seized the opportunity, extended the gloves of his combat suit, and swiftly grabbed the neck of an enemy in the thirties. He then used his immense strength to quickly spin the enemy around before slamming him to the ground, instantly rendering him incapacitated.

"Electric Shock Light Speed ​​Sword!" Before anyone could react, Vinsmoke Nicholas, wielding an electrified longsword, pierced through the enemy who had been stunned by Yonji.

"Well done!" Marco couldn't help but shout from mid-air.

When Kajñā, who was protecting the Buddha from the rear, saw his children achieve great things, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

As for Shakyamuni beside him, he was operating something on the machine that had been brought in, deep in thought, completely oblivious to what was happening on the battlefield.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Whitebeard Pirates, both high-level combatants and ordinary troops launched a full-scale counterattack. The extraterrestrial visitors were caught off guard and were forced into a series of defeats.

The Frostwalker, who had been knocked away by Reina, knew that it was no longer time to continue fighting, especially since news had come from the Extinction Lord's side that they could retreat.

However, their retreat was no longer so simple, especially for the Frostbender himself; Reina would not allow him to leave so easily.

"Ice Controls the World!" Seeing Reina attacking again, the Iceman disregarded the fact that his energy would be absorbed by Reina and used his ability directly.

Countless wisps of cold air emanated from the Ice Warrior, and in just a moment, the ground around them was covered with a layer of ice, and the temperature in the air dropped several degrees.

The sun was still clearly hanging in the sky, but the beach was already like a winter island on the Grand Line, with the temperature already starting to change.

"As expected of the title holder, he can change the celestial phenomena with a mere gesture!" Whitebeard praised with a light laugh upon seeing this.

However, the Frostbringer had no pride at all, because Reina, who was not far from him, seemed to be unaffected. The frost energy not only did not reduce his speed, but actually made him even faster.

The Iceman gave a wry smile, and with a wave of his hand, countless ice blades flew towards Reina, while he himself quickly retreated, trying to increase the distance between himself and Reina.

However, Reina didn't give him a chance to create distance. He swung the Hyōrinmaru in his hand, and all the ice blades that attacked him were directly transformed into energy and absorbed by the Hyōrinmaru, which then replenished the twelve ice lotus flowers.

Seeing that his moves not only failed to buy him time and give him a chance to retreat, but instead made the enemy stronger, Frostbite felt like he had swallowed a dead fly.

This was the most disgusting enemy he had encountered since becoming a title holder; it was a complete counter to him.

However, this only intensified his gaze as he looked at the Hyōrinmaru in Reina's hand. If that divine weapon were in his possession, it would undoubtedly unleash even greater power. He had already discovered that Reina himself did not possess any ice energy.

Even so, Reina's combat power after wielding Hyōrinmaru was quite formidable.

If it were him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to challenge a Venerable One who is of a higher level while wielding a divine weapon.

This is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to retreat easily.

However, the situation has now taken a sharp turn for the worse. After learning of the losses on this side, the Venerable One has started cursing.

So now, even if he doesn't want to, he has no choice but to start retreating.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy now!" Seeing the Frostwalker becoming increasingly desperate, Reina's lips curled into a slight smile. Frost Queen began forming hand seals and said, "Shadow Clone Technique!"

"bang"

Three Reinas, each wielding a Hyōrinmaru, appeared simultaneously, then immediately separated and ran in different directions.

As the Iceman retreated, his eyes widened in disbelief. His opponent actually possessed such an ability; Reina hadn't used it during their previous battle.

"Six-pointed Ice Purification Array!" Reina, positioned in four different directions, simultaneously raised the Ice Wheel Pill in his hand. Using his true form as the array's core, a complex six-pointed star rose from the ground, covering the Frost Warriors.

"Crackling..." Within the six-pointed star, a massive amount of icy power began to gather. Although the Ice Master possessed the ability to control ice, he was still inevitably frozen by the icy power.

Ah, he had never encountered an opponent who could use the power of ice like him, so he would never deprive the other party of the way to control the power of ice. If Reina used this move against Aokiji, Reina believed that although it could cause some trouble for Aokiji, it would not cause too much damage to Aokiji.

However, dealing with the Frostbringer is a different story. You can tell from the fear on his face that he doesn't have much resistance to Reina's Hexagram Ice Array.

Although both are of the ice attribute, after the Icebringer awakens, he has basically never encountered any being that can fight him against ice-type opponents, so he has no experience in this area.

As the Frostbringer was slowly frozen, the extraterrestrial visitors around them felt a sense of absurdity. They knew that this method was usually used by the Frostbringer to deal with enemies, and they felt that even the Frostbringer himself probably did not expect it!

As the Frostbringer was frozen in ice, the three Reina clones instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.

"Get lost!" Not far away, the white-bearded man holding a naginata punched the air in front of him, shattering the entire space.

It turned out that those powerful extraterrestrials who had surpassed the captains had rushed to support the Icebound One, hoping to rescue him.

However, as Whitebeard attacked, the entire space began to shake, and the invisible force of the vibrations repelled them all.

Reina seized the opportunity, took a step, and rushed towards the frozen Iceman.

It's practically impossible to kill an Ice user with a move of this level, especially since the opponent's ability is also ice-based, making them more resistant to ice. If the opponent hadn't lacked experience fighting against opponents of the same element, Reina wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.

Chapter 1030 Battle Ends

Freezing the Frostbringer was merely a means for Reina to control the opponent, not a true killing move.

Just as Reina approached the Frostbearer, cracks began to appear in the ice that had been sealing him. Before Reina could get there, the Frostbearer broke free of the ice.

"Hehe... Go to hell!" Seeing his opponent break through the ice, Reina was not surprised at all, but instead threw a punch at him.

This was no ordinary punch. It was not only imbued with Conqueror's Haki, but also with energy that Reina had deliberately stored away, which had been absorbed by Black Emperor's power. Reina believed that if it hit the opponent, the opponent would be severely injured, if not killed, and would no longer be able to escape.

Seeing Reina's punch coming towards him, the Iceman who had just broken out of the ice felt his hair stand on end. He felt that if he couldn't avoid this punch, he would really die here.
