Chapter 277 The Great Battle Begins
Chapter 277 The Great Battle Begins
At this critical moment, Aokiji leaped up like a nimble swallow. He knew that if he didn't act now, no one present would be able to withstand the surging, towering waves.
This is what makes Whitebeard's abilities so terrifying.
Ice Age!
This move is one of Aokiji's signature techniques. He can release all the cold air in his body to form a powerful freezing force that instantly covers a large area.
This freezing air can instantly turn the sea between several islands into frozen land, and the freezing time can last for up to a week!
So, what would be a catastrophic disaster for others is nothing to him.
In the blink of an eye, Aokiji swiftly spread his arms wide, as if to take control of the entire world. Immediately afterward, a chilling blast of air erupted from his palms, shooting straight towards the surging waves like two roaring white dragons.
The moment the freezing air came into contact with the ocean waves, it was like a collision between Mars and Earth, instantly triggering a spectacular event. Surprisingly, the ocean waves were utterly powerless against this powerful freezing air, and in the blink of an eye, they were frozen into a crystal-clear wall of ice.
This was far from over. Like a blue bird, Aokiji plummeted from the sky. His figure shone brightly in the sunlight.
The moment his feet touched the sea surface, a terrifying burst of freezing air, like a ferocious beast, roared and surged forth.
The freezing air spread rapidly at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sea surface was covered by a thick layer of ice. The ice layer, like a giant mirror, reflected dazzling light, making people dazzled.
It all happened so fast that people could barely react. In just a few breaths, the entire harbor was frozen into an ice field, including the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick in the naval port.
"This……"
Hawkeye Mihawk, Boa Hancock, Basil Hawkins, Urouge, and the others all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment.
They had no idea that Aokiji possessed such terrifying abilities; this move was simply a stroke of genius.
The unfavorable situation was changed immediately.
Not only them, but even the captains like Marco, "Diamond" Jozu, and "Flora" Vista all wore serious expressions. Originally, their father's incredibly powerful attack would have been enough to crush Marine Headquarters with an overwhelming advantage. However, Aokiji's move completely changed the situation, putting them at a disadvantage once again.
Worse still, they were now surrounded, an extremely dangerous situation. However, things often have two sides, and the situation also had an advantage for them. With the sea frozen over, the once turbulent surface was as flat as land, giving them an excellent opportunity—they could now charge in and engage in close combat!
The white-bearded man stared intently at Aokiji, a hint of annoyance in his eyes: "You brat, you're in my way!" His voice was deep and authoritative, as if the entire space trembled at his words.
Immediately afterward, he swung his arm sharply and gave the order: "Bring Ace back to me!"
With a command from Whitebeard.
"Charge!" Led by "Foil" Vista, they charged straight toward the high platform like a surging torrent.
Only Marco and "Diamond" Jozu remained, standing guard on either side of Whitebeard.
At the same time, the navy, witnessing this scene, instantly turned serious. Realizing the enemy's intentions, they quickly adjusted their tactics under the command of their various naval commanders, forming an impregnable wall to meet them head-on.
"Hehehehe..." Upon seeing this, Aini couldn't help but let out an evil smile.
He thought to himself, "This is the perfect opportunity for me to show off my skills!"
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly exerted force with his legs, and like an arrow released from a bow, he shot straight into the sky like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot, as if he had never been there at all.
However, in the next moment, an amazing scene unfolded.
His feet seemed to be stepping on thin air, taking continuous strides in the air, each step like stepping on a spring of air, propelling his body forward at an astonishing speed.
His movements were as fast as lightning, leaving a series of afterimages in the air. Like an air-shaking engine, it continuously provided power, propelling his body like a meteor as it rushed towards Whitebeard.
Even more astonishing is that with each step he took in the air, his body seemed to teleport forward a full hundred meters!
Such speed is simply unbelievable, making one wonder if he has truly mastered some kind of mysterious spatial ability.
Just as he was rapidly closing the distance to Whitebeard at such an astonishing speed, Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, who had been staring intently at Whitebeard, suddenly let out a soft "uh".
He had clearly noticed Aini's actions and was somewhat surprised by what he was seeing.
However, this surprise did not last long. Mihawk's lips then curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He seemed to be full of anticipation for the upcoming showdown.
After all, he had long wanted to see just how big the real gap was between himself and Whitebeard.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mihawk swiftly reached out and pulled Night from his back. Night gleamed coldly in his hand, as if proclaiming its sharpness and lethality.
Immediately afterwards, Mihawk swung his arm sharply, and the night drew a beautiful arc in the air, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying slash shot out like a bolt of lightning.
This slash was over twenty meters high, like the sword energy unleashed by a sword immortal, and its power was unparalleled. Wherever it passed, the ice beneath their feet was easily sliced open like tofu.
Moreover, the force of this strike was so powerful that it seemed to cleave the entire ice layer in two, its power astonishing.
The target of this terrifying slash was, of course, Whitebeard.
"Uh?"
Faced with the attacks from above and below, Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly. Although, he also felt a bit of pressure.
However, he stood there without moving, because it wasn't time for him to make a move yet.
