Chapter 1798: Fighting Very Happily, Right?

Ice shards splashed, and white mist rose to a high place. Beside a huge ice crater, Su Xiao raised his arm. A kind of green vine clinging to his skin gradually withered and detached from his skin.

This didn't know which of the couple's abilities it was. During the battle just now, Su Xiao felt a stinging sensation on the skin of his arm, but he didn't have time to check. Now that he thought about it, it should have been caused by the light pillar covered in pink flowers that would expand to the surroundings. There were spores or pollen with extremely strong vitality on it. Once it touched the human body, it would absorb physical strength to grow at a not-slow speed, eventually leading to exhaustion for the person hit.

5th Tier Qiyuezhe were completely different from 4th Tier. Although Su Xiao's strength was at the top in the 4th Tier, he had just been promoted to the 5th Tier. The Summit War was the first world he experienced in the 5th Tier. His strength was likely ranked in the middle to lower end of the 5th Tier.

The good news was that there wouldn't be too many Qiyuezhe with levels exceeding Lv. 45 in this Pirate World. The reason was very simple: participating in the Summit War didn't have a lower limit for tiers, but it did have an upper limit, which was the 5th Tier.

This didn't mean that Qiyuezhe above the 5th Tier couldn't participate in the Summit War, but the benefits would decrease rapidly with the increase in tier. Among 5th Tier Qiyuezhe, once the Samsara Brand level exceeded Lv. 45, the benefits of participating in the Summit War plot event would decrease by 80%. As for 6th Tier Qiyuezhe, their benefit reduction was even more terrifying, likely not even obtaining 10% of the total benefits.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Xiao entered the Pirate World just after being promoted to the 5th Tier. With his current Samsara Brand level, after the Summit plot event ended, he could obtain extra improvements during the calculation. The extra rewards for a 1st Tier Qiyuezhe would be even more terrifying, likely multiplying several times.

Su Xiao's gaze looked toward the direction of the execution platform. There were 25 5th Tier Qiyuezhe who entered the Pirate World this time. Excluding himself and the pair of dead lovebirds, 22 remained. Among these 22, at least three were Qiyuezhe who could fight Su Xiao to the death. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who infiltrated the Marine Headquarters last night, had already detected the aura of those three. One was full of gunpowder, another was strong to the point of not being human—this Qiyuezhe Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang saw with his own eyes, and a little boy followed beside the other party.

As for the last one, that guy's aura was the most ominous. According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's scouting, the other party was very likely a parasitic or catalyst ability.

Besides these three, there was an even stronger one, but that guy's Samsara Brand level should have exceeded Lv. 45, so the other party didn't come to participate in the Summit War. If that person didn't lie, the other party was currently located in Impel Down. That person was the gray-haired man of the Brigade, whose specific name or code name was unknown.

Boom!

A pitch-black cannonball exploded on the ice surface near Su Xiao. Firelight surged, black smoke drifted, and the impact point of the cannonball was a bloody mess. It should have been a corpse that was blown to pieces.

"Ah!!"

A shouting sound with a long tone came from above. Su Xiao looked up and saw a large group of figures wearing prison uniforms falling from above. It was the protagonist team and the funny team who had arrived, and behind them was a warship also falling.

"Below is ice. Hurry and think of a way, Straw Hat kid. You must have a way since you let us down."

Buggy the Clown shouted in the air. His words clearly reminded Luffy, who was shouting, and Luffy stopped.

"I'm rubber, I won't fall to death."

Luffy seemed to have thought of something. While falling, he swept his gaze and soon saw Ace on the execution platform.

"We aren't rubber. You bastard, you must have shattered the ice on purpose."

"Saying such words, are you a devil?"

"Help, it's getting closer and closer."

Accompanied by the shouting, this large group of people fell into the sea, water splashing. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's pupils narrowed. Luck was indeed very useful sometimes. That large ice hole wasn't the large piece dug out by Jozu in the original story. Right now, Jozu was charging at the forefront in the battle group, about to rush to the port, while that large ice hole was blasted out by the couple earlier, originally intending to die with Su Xiao.

Su Xiao only looked at that large ice hole and then stopped paying attention. Amu was still being beaten, and he had to go to reinforce as soon as possible.

Bang!

The staggering Amu knocked down a group of pirates. Cold air rose on his body. That cow face was already bruised and swollen, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

"Moo~"

Amu stood up and wiped the blood off his face.

A breaking-air sound attacked from behind Amu. It was Aokiji, who kept half of his body elementalized. He held an 'Ice Saber' in his hand and slashed toward Amu's back of the neck.

Ding!

Ice shards splashed, and the blade edge of the Ice Saber collided with a long blade. Because of the difference in height, Aokiji lowered his head slightly.

"Fighting very happily, right?"

Su Xiao, holding Checking Zhan Long Shan, blocked in front of Amu, red light flickering in his eyes.

The ice surface under Su Xiao's feet cracked. As he exerted force with his arms, Checking Zhan Long Shan tilted slightly. With a 'zizai' sound, the blade edge rubbed, and the Ice Saber in Aokiji's hand slashed forward uncontrollably. This was the gap in sword technique. Although Aokiji had some insights into the use of sharp weapons, it was far from Su Xiao.

'Ten.'

Su Xiao's body leaned forward, making a forward-slashing stance. In fact, he had already slashed twice at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

With a 'crack', two horizontal and vertical slash marks appeared on Aokiji's head, like a cross. Broken ice splashed. Before being slashed, Aokiji had already elementalized and actively let his head crack with cross-slash marks to avoid Su Xiao's slash.

'Blade Storm.'

Zing, zing, zing...

The slashes spread from Su Xiao as the starting point, plowing slash marks half a meter wide on the ice layer.

With a splash, Aokiji's body shattered, turning into a dozen pieces of broken ice emitting cold air.

Aokiji had just disappeared in an elementalized state when Su Xiao stepped on the ice surface under his feet, and the vibration spread from under his feet.

'Inside the ice layer to the front right.'

Through vibration, the intuition ability successfully captured Aokiji. Su Xiao held Checking Zhan Long Shan in front of him, the long blade level with his line of sight.

Hum~

Blue Steel Shadow energy condensed into a solid on the long blade, reflecting black-blue light.

'Blade Dao Blade · Extreme.'

The blade edge rang crisply, and a black slash flew out of the blade, attacking the ice layer where Aokiji was.

The slash rang crisply, and a terrifying slash mark over a dozen meters long and four or five meters wide appeared on that ice layer.

The moves Su Xiao used were all inspired in the Land of All Living Things, re-developed based on the moves of those strong people as prototypes. Although they were all developed by himself, they were indeed inspired by those strong people, so he didn't change the names of these moves.

Actual combat showed that Blade Master + Checking Zhan Long Shan + moves developed by Su Xiao himself were very strong. The power was clearly a cut above his normal slashes, and they could deal with various situations. More importantly, the enemy couldn't easily judge his attack direction.

Beside the huge trench, ice blocks emitting white gas protruded. Aokiji canceled his elementalization, and a wisp of blood dripped from his finger. He was slashed and injured, but the injury was very light. There was a half-centimeter-deep wound on his forearm. This was just being grazed. If it had been slashed solidly, his entire forearm would have been slashed off.

"Hoo~"

Su Xiao spat out cold air. Just now, a cold current spread from under his feet, making his internal organs ache with cold. This was Aokiji's fruit ability. From the perspective of terrain, this place was more favorable to Aokiji. ===== CHAPTER 1799 =====
