Chapter 52 Aokiji's Power
Aokiji's solitary figure as he faced the tsunami deeply pained Smoker and the others.
But under absolute power, all weak forces are insignificant.
“Let’s go!” Smoker said in a low voice.
The other naval soldiers wanted to say something, but seeing Smoker's grim expression, they said nothing more.
And so, Smoker and the others sailed the warship outwards.
……
Aokiji looked at the impending tsunami, then glanced back at Smoker and the others who were leaving, and felt quite calm.
At times like this, nothing you say matters; just do your best.
The ice surface broke very quickly, even Aokiji didn't expect it to break so fast. Crackling sounds rang out, like death knells.
Upon hearing the sound of breaking, Aokiji quickly looked ahead and saw that cracks had suddenly appeared on the previously flat ice surface.
The cracks on the ice spread rapidly, and in an instant, only the huge ice pillar that resembled a tornado absorbing water remained unbroken.
Although it wasn't broken yet, Aokiji's face was full of heaviness, without a trace of joy.
That's because the broken ice on the sea surface has been swallowed up by the super vortex, and at the same time, wave after wave of ripples appeared on the sea surface.
This phenomenon is precisely the eve of a tsunami, which, once formed, will be unstoppable.
Aokiji watched this scene calmly, without making a move.
Taking action now would be pointless; it would be better to wait until the tsunami has fully formed before taking action, as that would address the problem at its root.
Sure enough, under Aokiji's watchful gaze, the sea mist was slowly forming, and the surrounding waves were rising higher and higher, as if they were about to devour Aokiji.
Just then, the waves collided with the frozen waterspout.
Strangely, this time the waves did not destroy the frozen waterspout; instead, they accelerated the breaking of the outer layer of ice.
Finally, with each crash of the waves, the waterspout was completely released.
The destructive waterspout swept in once more, but this time it seemed even more powerful.
The water spout was covered in snow this time, and Aokiji's snow actually blended in with it.
The sky was dark, and the sea was turbulent.
A tsunami has formed in the sea area. The blizzard, waterspout, and tsunami are now so powerful that they seem to be about to destroy everything.
Aokiji, watching the tsunami that had already formed and the storm dragon sucking in water, showed no intention of retreating. Turning around, he saw that Smoker and the others were already safe!
After a long silence, Aokiji murmured, "It seems the only option left is to use that move that wasn't fully developed." (What do you think it will be?)
Aokiji has been using the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit for a long time and has created several techniques.
However, there is one move that Aokiji has never used because it would greatly deplete his stamina, and also because he is not yet very proficient at it.
That's right, that's the awakening of a Devil Fruit.
All Devil Fruits have the potential to awaken, whether they are Zoan, Paramecia, or Logia types.
However, awakening is also very difficult. First, it depends on proficiency, then on talent, and of course, luck can also be considered one of the conditions for Devil Fruit awakening!
Once a Devil Fruit power awakens, it will change the surrounding environment. For example, when a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit awakens, it will change everything around it, making it behave like the fruit's power.
Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities are even more powerful, increasing the user's maximum health, making them very difficult to kill. Furthermore, when a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user awakens, strange flames will appear around them, although they may also experience fatigue.
When a Logia-type Devil Fruit user awakens their powers, they alter the surrounding environment. It can be said that Logia users are naturally gifted, gaining even greater strength with the support of natural weather. (Okay! Before the power of the Binding Tale, all are equal.)
Keke, get back to business.
Aokiji attempted to awaken his Devil Fruit powers a long time ago, but he has never succeeded.
This wasn't because Aokiji was unskilled or lacked talent; it's just that sometimes a bit of luck is needed.
Looking at the surging tsunami and the powerful storm dragon sucking water ahead, Aokiji put his hands in front of his chest to block it. In an instant, Aokiji's hands were completely frozen by the ice.
At the same time, a chilling aura seeped from Aokiji's body, and this chilling aura spread rapidly in all directions.
Soon, the entire sea area was frozen solid by Aokiji. After Aokiji awakened his Devil Fruit power, the power of ice became even more ferocious and domineering.
Whether it was a tsunami or a storm that sucked water, everything was frozen. Even the surrounding islands and the sea were frozen.
Aokiji watched as the frozen tsunami and the storm dragon sucked in water, then used other skills from his awakened special ice domain.
Ice hockey, time capsules, and pheasant beaks can be used freely without consuming your stamina. (Within a certain time period)
Instantly, various ice skills were unleashed upon the frozen tsunami and storm dragon.
Under Aokiji's continuous attacks, the tsunami and the storm dragon's water absorption were shattered.
This time, it was completely shattered, inside and out.
Aokiji thus resolved the originally turbulent tsunami and the massive storm dragon sucking water.
Aokiji smiled with satisfaction at the sight, and at the same time uttered wearily, "Ice Domain!"
Uh, okay! (I created this awakening ability myself. Although it looks similar to Ice Age, there are still differences. It's stronger, more powerful, and you can use small skills for a certain period of time.)
After finishing speaking, Aokiji was exhausted. He leaned back and, just as he was about to close his eyes, he vaguely saw a figure walking quickly towards him across the ice.
The newcomer was Smoker. He was worried about Aokiji, so he told the other soldiers to leave first, while he watched everything that happened from a distance.
Smoker was completely stunned when he saw Aokiji use his awakened abilities from a distance.
This ability to change everything is truly awe-inspiring.
Only by witnessing Aokiji resolve the tsunami and the storm dragon sucking water with his own eyes can one truly feel the awe.
Smoker helped the fallen Aokiji up, looking at his pale face with a complicated expression.
The scene of Aokiji fighting against nature alone was truly terrifying, and the moment when Aokiji said it was his duty as an admiral was unforgettable.
Smoker sighed, picked up Aokiji, and walked outside.
As he walked, Smoker thought he heard someone calling him.
This puzzled Smoker greatly; was there really anyone here?
But the voice grew clearer and closer, forcing Smoker to believe it.
When Smoker looked up, he saw a scene that warmed his heart.
It turned out that Tashigi and the other marines were running towards him, shouting, "Lieutenant Smoker, are you alright!"
“What a bunch of hopeless idiots!” Smoker chuckled.
And so, Smoker, Tashigi, and the others, along with Aokiji, returned to the warship and headed towards Loguetown.

P.S.: I swear, I'll speed things up in the next chapter. (◣_◢)
