I quit the Straw Hats at the beginning and joined the Beasts Group

His eyes suddenly fixed.

I just felt that the temperature in the atmosphere suddenly dropped a lot.

The sea ahead, which should have been turbulent, turned into a vast expanse of white.

I didn't even know when it had been frozen into ice.

"The sea is frozen?"

The fiery red wings fluttered gently.

Ryan's figure landed on the ice.

He raised an eyebrow and stared into the distance: "Admiral Aokiji?"

If it were other pirates who had just recently entered the Grand Line.

Some people may think that this may be caused by the extremely harsh and unpredictable climate environment of the Grand Route.

But Ryan is different.

Combining it with my past memories, I instantly understood the reason.

Such changes are obviously not due to the climate of the Grand Route, but are man-made.

And the entire ocean.

Being able to do this kind of thing.

Among the strongest people known to Ryan so far.

Only one person can do it, and that is the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters - Aokiji!

"Hey, interesting..."

Ryan didn't back down.

Instead, his eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.

Without hesitation, he flapped his wings and flew along the ice. "How powerful is the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters?"

If he remembered correctly.

It seems to be the admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

I ran there early and was waiting for the Straw Hat Pirates.

He wants to meet Robin, who was let go by him in a moment of weakness in O'Hara, but has survived by betraying others over the years because of the pursuit of the World Government and the Navy.

"Second gear!"

"Rubber JET pistol!"

"Rubber JET rocket launcher!"

"Rubber Jet Machine Gun!!"

"Bang... bang..."

On an uninhabited island.

Two asymmetrical figures, one big and one small, were fighting there.

At this moment, Straw Hat Luffy's skin turned red all over, and was filled with visible heat. He attacked the tall and thin man in a blue vest in front of him without any care.

This man who is nearly three meters tall is none other than Admiral Aokiji, the user of the natural-type Freeze-Freeze Fruit and one of the highest combat forces in the Marine Headquarters!

The body was instantly blasted into pieces of ice.

But in the blink of an eye, it continued to condense.

Aokiji raised his eyebrows at the slightly embarrassed but actually unharmed Straw Hat Pirates, realizing that he had obviously underestimated them.

"Ah la la, have you even mastered Haki?" He stared at Luffy in front of him, his eyes slightly focused: "But, this half-baked Armament Haki can't hurt me!"

Aokiji naturally didn't know.

The Straw Hat Pirates began when they left Rogue Town.

Because the second-in-command Ryan did not hide anything.

Under his generous guidance, the strength of all members is much stronger than their counterparts in the original trajectory.

The three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, have basically started practicing Haki early on.

Especially Captain Luffy.

Not only did they develop the second and third gears early on.

Moreover, he had already awakened his Observation Haki in Alabasta.

Even in the battle with God Enel, he was able to barely use Armament Haki.

Of course, for a strong man like the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

He is far from good enough now.

"Huh...huh..."

all of a sudden.

After exiting second gear, my body returned to normal.

Luffy, who was extremely exhausted from continuously using his half-baked Armament Haki attacks, couldn't stop gasping for breath.

"Stop talking nonsense, I will never let you hurt Robin..." His eyes were firm as he stared at Aokiji in front of him.

Take a deep breath.

Biting his thumb.

Blow hard!

"Third gear! Bone balloon!"

"call--"

In Aokiji's surprised gaze.

His right hand enlarged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It transformed into a huge rubber fist print that was exaggeratedly large and was no weaker than the giant's fist.

"What an exaggerated move..." Aokiji looked at the exaggerated fist and said calmly: "But, with your current strength, you can't defeat me!"

But in a moment.

Luffy was there, dragging his giant fist.

"Shave..." He stomped his feet hard and ran out wildly.

He appeared in front of Aokiji in an instant.

The huge fist had only the fingers covered with a layer of black.

It hit me hard.

Ice chips flew and the earth cracked.

However, Luffy was like a deflated balloon, jumping up and down.

His body seemed to have shrunk and turned into a mini Luffy.

It's jaw-dropping.

Little Luffy was jumping around: "Qikexiu, using Gear Third and too much Haki at the same time caused your body to shrink again?"

But in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original state.

However, he was so tired that he had to support himself with his hands on his knees, sweating profusely.

Gasping for breath.

"Ka... Ka..."

But Aokiji, who was blown to pieces, condensed his body again and was unharmed.

"Luffy――"

"Damn it, even Armament Haki can't hurt him?"

On the Golden Merry docked at the shore.

Luffy looked at the Admiral Aokiji who stepped forward and threatened to challenge Robin directly, asking them not to interfere, but ended up being completely at a disadvantage.

Following the instructions of Captain Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and others returned to the Merry.

All of their expressions changed drastically.

"Ruined……"

"Luffy is no match at all!"

"Wuwua ...

"It would be great if Ryan was here. With his abilities, he should be able to restrain that guy's ice, right?"

It was obvious that even if Luffy used the second gear or even the third gear, he was still completely suppressed.

Usopp, Chopper, and Nami, the cowardly trio.

He was so scared that he was sweating profusely and tears were streaming down his face.

For a moment, there was infinite despair.

And Robin himself, who had been coldly questioned and mercilessly ridiculed by Aokiji before.

His face was extremely pale, his hands tightly grasping the railing of the Merry, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at the invincible figure of Admiral Aokiji.

There was fear in his eyes.

Cold sweat kept flowing from his forehead.

The scenes that were once buried in my mind kept coming to my mind.

He collapsed limply on the deck.

Trembling constantly.

"Luffy――"

"No, he's almost reached his limit..."

Seeing Luffy looking exhausted and a little weak.

Zoro, Sanji and others are about to rush forward.

"Zoro, Sanji, and everyone..."

Luffy gritted his teeth and shouted to stop him: "This is a fight between him and me, don't interfere!"

"This is my order as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Luffy――"

Hearing this――

Zoro and Sanji just jumped onto the shore.

There were also Usopp and others who were about to use the seastone they had asked the Sandia clan for as projectiles at Ryan's suggestion, and were aiming their slingshots at Aokiji.

Everyone couldn't help but change color.

"You're exactly like your grandfather, always so stubborn..."

Aokiji rushed up in an instant.

He directly caught Luffy's fist, and a cold air surged out: "Although your grandfather has done me a favor, you still have to die... Goodbye!"

"rubber--"

"Ah..."

In an instant.

The cold air is surging.

There was a scream, and then it stopped abruptly.
