Chapter 392: Shanks Makes a Move, Shattering the Navy's Dream with a Single Blade
Rubber Extreme Speed Hurricane Fist!
The Holy Light Fist Flame slid rapidly, and bursts of hurricanes surrounded Luffy; accompanied by his continuous punching, a massive suction force sent everything nearby flying.
Fists imbued with the Holy Light attribute could not be dodged through elementalization.
Aokiji frowned deeply, condensing Frost Armor to block the relentless barrage of punches.
Crack!
The armor emitted constant shattering sounds.
Aokiji swung his ice blade, hacking at Luffy's arms, but discovered he had only carved shallow bloodstains.
Having the Light Bloodline, Luffy's defense and attack power would rise significantly once activated.
Oh no...
Aokiji secretly thought it was bad; the suction of this hurricane prevented him from escaping, leaving him no choice but to take the Holy Light fists head-on.
The Frost Armor shattered completely under the impact of the final few punches.
Aokiji was also embedded into the cliff wall by the final uppercut, with spiderweb-like cracks behind him.
"Three Sword Style: Death Tombstone!"
Zoro swung his blades rapidly, and countless Ghost Qi condensed into tombstones that slammed into the cliff wall, burying Aokiji's figure.
The agile Chopper rescued Robin, pulling out a Recovery Potion and hemostatic bandages to help Robin recover from her injuries.
Nami hugged her shoulders tightly and said, "Have you been infected by Luffy and Zoro? You're such an idiot, how could we just watch you throw your life away?"
"Everyone..."
Robin blinked her eyes, her emotions complex.
Usopp gave a thumbs up and said, "It's just a Marine Admiral, hasn't he also been..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire cliff wall shook, then began to tilt and collapse, finally landing like a landslide and splashing dust into the sky.
The Straw Hat Crew stared blankly; the massive tremor caused by the collapse of the entire cliff was felt even in several nearby towns.
"What's going on?"
"Did the earth dragon turn over?"
Civilians hiding in their houses trembled, quickly reinforcing their cellar covers to avoid being discovered by zombies.
Players who were hunting were also startled.
Top-tier players around Jiang Family Town raised their heads one after another, looking toward the direction where the cliff collapsed.
"This feeling, is it Aokiji?"
Inside a pool of scorching magma, Akainu frowned deeply; watching this Golden-level zombie nest being completely destroyed by the magma, he thought, "Is it the direction of Jiang Family Town?"
He ordered the Navy beside him: "Pass the order, the entire army is to reinforce the Navy Alliance Second Division!"
The five divisions of the Navy Alliance were led by Akainu, followed by the Second Division's Aokiji, the Third Division's Kizaru, the Fourth Division's Smoker, and the final special operations squad, Iron Fist Garp.
With such a massive formation, even Akainu, who was dozens of miles away, could perceive the icy aura emitted by Aokiji.
To be able to make Aokiji fight to this extent, it must be at least a Dark Gold-level zombie.
"Understood!"
Xige, dressed in military uniform, looked at Akainu with admiration.
He was no longer the mountain bandit who had been killed in seconds by Shanks, but the adjutant to Admiral Akainu.
He wholeheartedly carried out Admiral Akainu's will, striving with all his might with the dream of becoming the Navy King! In another town,
"So familiar, is it a Marine Admiral?"
A bloated, fat figure lifted her wide hat brim, smiling to reveal a mouth full of sharp teeth.
"Mama, should we go take a look?"
Katakul, holding a trident, turned to look at his mother inside the house after piercing through a Commander Level zombie.
Xialuote Lingling smiled hideously and said, "Of course we must go take a look, otherwise how can we take revenge?"
Back then,
the Big Mom Pirates were defeated by the Navy's schemes, and she herself was thrown into the Demon Locking Tower; if it weren't for the fact that the Navy Alliance was hollowed out during the Evil God attack incident, and her loyal son Katakul had bribed a high-ranking Navy official to rescue her, she would have long been ground into dregs by the Demon Locking Tower.
How could she forget such hatred?
As long as there was an opportunity, she would definitely strike hard at the Navy Alliance!
East of Jiang Family Town, on the ruins of the cliff that had just appeared, cold mist permeated, obscuring the sky.
A mountain-like Frost Dragon, floating with a bright Blue Potential radiance, stood in the center of the ruins.
The collapsed cliff had been completely covered by ice crystals, looking just like a world of ice and snow.
The surging, rolling cold air formed waves like the sea, spreading toward the surroundings.
"So big!"
It almost scared Chopper's soul away.
The Shadow cast on the ground stretched for thousands of meters; just by lying there, a dragon spine covered in frost spikes was as huge as a sprawling mountain range.
The size of the Frost Drill Car the Straw Hat Crew was riding in didn't even reach the fingernail of the Frost Dragon.
Just by slightly shaking its dragon head,
the rustling ice crystal fragments fell like a frost rainstorm.
"Is this the strength of a Marine Admiral!?"
Players who had been attracted by the intense battle and wanted to scavenge were broken out in a cold sweat by this scene.
Most players were no strangers to Aokiji, who was inside the ice crystal at the center of the Frost Dragon's brow, and identified his identity at a glance. If it were just Aokiji alone,
it would not be enough to make most factions with top-tier players wary.
However, there are four more players as strong as Aokiji in the Navy Alliance; it is no wonder they can become the strongest force in the Samsara Game—they truly do not live in vain.
Boom.
The Frost Dragon flapped its wings, and a tornado like a mountain-toppling sea-crushing wave instantly destroyed the ant-like Magic Creation, the Frost Drill Car.
Then, gusts of wild wind surged, and the Frost Dragon circled in the sky, finally turning into a beam of ice light and diving down.
"Danger!"
Luffy's eyes were splitting with rage; the awakening of the Rubber Fruit ability turned the earth into a soft spring mattress.
To protect the rest of his crew, his entire body burst with golden light, his muscles and bones rapidly expanded, and he was bounced toward the sky by the earth like a ball of light.
Finally, a figure several dozen meters tall appeared, grabbing the falling Frost Dragon with spring-like arms and performing a shoulder throw.
This is Luffy's strongest form after fusing the 【Light Bloodline】 and 【Blue Fist Saint】, the Rubber Superman.
Thud! The trajectory of the falling Frost Dragon was twisted, and it smashed heavily to the side; the sheer shockwave alone caused the earth to sink deep, and a wave of grass, trees, and rubble blew the Straw Hat Crew away.
Luffy stood up shakily, snowflakes of light flickering in his eyes,
tottering.
The highly resilient Rubber Superman body, as if stretched to its limit, presented a limp state and could not bounce back.
"Straw Hat Pirates, capture successful!"
Aokiji's gaze flickered,
looking with admiration at the swaying Caomao Lufei who was still thinking of blocking him; he was truly worthy of being the grandson of Vice Admiral Garp.
Originally, he could have gone easy, but in the current state of battle, he feared he had already attracted the attention of countless players; if he, as a Marine Admiral, let the pirates leave, it would be a great blow to the reputation of the Navy Alliance.
The Frost Dragon took off again and then dove toward the ground.
The Rubber Superman opened his arms,
determined to block the Frost Dragon's crash even at the cost of his life.
"Quick, dodge, Luffy!"
The members of the Straw Hat Crew let out heart-wrenching shouts.
Purple aura condensed into a ghost-god phantom, blocking the air like a Barrier, but it was instantly shattered by the Frost Dragon.
Demon Blaze erupted, and a pair of flames resembling demon horns were likewise pulverized.
Nami's Magic Creation let out a mournful cry, sizzling and cracking into a pile of broken parts...
Usopp's mouth and nose bled as he pulled the trigger repeatedly; his mental power was overloaded, and the tilted bullets were like a curtain wall, but when they landed on the rapidly falling Frost Dragon, they couldn't even spark before being frozen into duds by the extreme cold temperature.
"Hey, Rubber Superman, could it be the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Perfect, consider it a funeral offering for my brother Kaido!"
Xialuote Lingling, stepping on the thundercloud Zeus, looked at the group of players about to be smashed into pulp by Aokiji and sneered inwardly.
In her eyes, the Straw Hat Crew was doomed.
"Straw Hat Crew?"
Akainu's gaze was suspicious; he also saw the Straw Hat Crew at the bottom of the ruins and couldn't figure out Aokiji's thoughts.
Logically speaking, Aokiji and Garp had a very good relationship; why would he attack the Straw Hat Pirates?
It would only be possible if it were him.
Could it be that this guy Aokiji has finally admitted defeat? "I said long ago that the kind of indecisive justice you have is ultimately a burden to justice, and one day you will wake up!"
Akainu's mouth curled up,
originally thinking that the conflict between their two justices would surely erupt into a great war, but it would most likely happen during the competition for the position of Fleet Admiral.
He didn't expect Aokiji to change on his own now; this was a very good thing for him.
Akainu laughed loudly and muttered to himself: "Let your deaths celebrate the birth of Admiral Aokiji's new justice!"
Just at this moment,
another majestic aura erupted not far away; within half a second, the entire world seemed to be dragged into a black space.
Neither light nor dark.
Five huge jade beads like purple suns floated, and countless chains extended, binding even the Frost Dragon within them.
"Shanks!"
Akainu suddenly remembered the scene when the Navy base was nearly breached; he immediately understood who was hindering Aokiji and let out a furious roar.
Hell Flame Demon King! A twisted scarlet gate rose from the ground,
releasing a terrifying Hell aura; a Flame Demon King whose body was entirely condensed from Hell flames walked out of the gate and pounced toward the figure who was disrupting the situation.
"Stop, Akainu!"
A jade-green blade light tore through the air, ripping the firmament and cutting the Flame Demon King in half at the waist.
Hell Magma spilled all over the earth,
and as the Flame Demon King fell to the ground, the flowing Hell Magma began to piece its body back together.
Swish! The blade light was like a jade moon; after falling, it scattered into countless sword nets, cutting the Flame Demon King into pieces and delaying the time for its fusion.
Akainu's face was gloomy as he quickly summoned five Flame Demons to protect his body;
as a Lava Summoner, he feared being approached by sword-type professions the most. After setting up a defensive posture, he said coldly: "Mihawk, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea who betrayed the Navy Alliance, do you want to be arrested by the Navy right now?"
