Chapter 1801: Three Against Two

Ace's Seastone shackles suddenly opened one. Although Sengoku was astonished in his heart, he immediately stepped forward to pick up the Seastone shackles, enduring the weakness of his whole body, and shackled the 'heavy' shackles back onto Ace.

There were less than three hours left until Ace's execution. Only Ace and Sengoku were on the execution platform. Sengoku knew that as a fruit ability user, touching Seastone was very dangerous, but he had to do so.

Sengoku, who had breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, looked at the slant below the execution platform, where a video Den Den Mushi was hidden. Although he very much wanted to cut out that segment and not broadcast it, this was a live broadcast.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, bubbles floated up, and the reporters under several large screens looked at each other, maintaining silence.

"Otherwise... just pretend we didn't see it."

A reporter who was relatively sensible spoke. If that scene just now spread, it would absolutely be an indelible scandal in Marine history. The Seastone shackles shackling the heavy criminal Portgas D. Ace actually opened suddenly due to poor quality. This was as if it were a joke.

"Pfft~"

A reporter really couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. The other reporters around were also trembling with shoulders. If it weren't for the hundred or so marine soldiers with iron-blue faces around, they would have already laughed out loud.

On the execution platform, Sengoku squatted behind Ace, examining that Seastone shackle. He was considering whether this was due to quality or human intervention.

"Someone come."

Sengoku's words had just fallen when a messenger ran onto the execution platform quickly.

"Go get another pair of Seastone shackles."

"Yes."

The messenger was just about to leave when Sengoku spoke again: "Wait, after getting the shackles, check them carefully."

"Yes, Fleet Admiral."

The messenger ran off the execution platform hurriedly. Just at this gap when Sengoku turned around.

Click~

This crisp sound was like the sound of a nightmare. Sengoku's cheek twitched, looking at Ace's hands bound behind his back. That Seastone shackle opened again.

Ace: "..."

Sengoku: "..."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang: 'Surprise? Unexpected?'

"You, come up to the execution platform."

Sengoku pointed to a Lieutenant Commander under the execution platform. This Lieutenant Commander was stunned for a moment, then ran onto the execution platform quickly.

"Fleet Admiral, I am..."

The Lieutenant Commander was just about to introduce his name and the branch he belonged to when Sengoku patted him on the shoulder.

"I have an important mission for you."

"Subordinate will definitely do his best!"

The Lieutenant Commander was so excited that his heart was about to jump out. Standing in front of him was the Marine Fleet Admiral, a big shot he might never have a chance to talk to in his life. Doing things for him would definitely lead to a bright future.

"Shackle Portgas D. Ace's shackles well. Your duty from now on is to stare at them, no matter what happens."

"?"

The Lieutenant Commander was a bit confused, but soon noticed the Seastone shackles lying on the ground behind Ace. He stepped forward quickly, and after shackling them well, he half-knelt behind Ace, staring with eyes unblinking.

Seeing this Lieutenant Commander, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had merged into the environment, looked at the sky at a 45° angle. His master was going further and further on the road of old schemers. Sengoku had already stepped into the trap with one foot, or rather, this was inevitable. Who told Sengoku to be a fruit ability user, who would be weak all over after touching Seastone.

On the battlefield, huge ice ridges protruded ten meters high.

Zing, zing, zing...

The slash rang crisply. Su Xiao slashed and shattered the large expanse of ice ridges spreading toward him, like a small boat in a storm, but only Aokiji knew that Su Xiao's situation wasn't as dangerous as it looked.

The cold ice stopped spreading. A lump of ice nearly a hundred meters in diameter, shaped like a sea urchin, appeared. Aokiji's hand pressed on the ice surface, spitting cold air, freezing fine ice crystals in the air.

Crack!

The ice lump full of sharp thorns shattered, and a large expanse of broken ice fell. In the broken ice, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared in place.

"Ice Age."

Aokiji stretched his hands forward, and ultra-low temperature cold ice spread from in front of him. This time, the range of Ice Age wasn't as exaggerated as in the past, but it was more fatal. As long as one touched these rapidly generated cold ice, one would suffer severe frostbite, even leading to tissue necrosis.

Su Xiao appeared in front of the large expanse of cold ice. The long blade in his hand slashed forward continuously. While each slash shattered a large expanse of cold ice, streaks of slash light also flew out of the blade.

Slashing and shattering the last large piece of cold ice, Su Xiao's gaze swept across the front. Aokiji had disappeared. Just zero point a few seconds ago, Aokiji was still in front of him.

'Underfoot!'

Intuition's warning appeared. Su Xiao leaped from the spot. He had just leaped less than half a meter when a large hand composed of cold ice grew from the ice surface, reaching to grab him.

Checking Zhan Long Shan flipped in Su Xiao's hand, dinging and stabbing into the palm of the cold ice hand. Su Xiao, who was in mid-air, stepped on the end of Checking Zhan Long Shan, performing a secondary jump.

Su Xiao landed on the ice surface over ten meters away. Checking Zhan Long Shan was frozen inside that cold ice hand.

With a bang, broken ice exploded beside Su Xiao. He raised his left arm, blocking in front of him, his gaze searching for something in the broken ice.

A leg emitting cold air kicked over. Su Xiao leaned forward while placing his right arm to the side, crystal layer clinging to his arm.

Boom!

The air wave spread, blowing away the broken ice in mid-air. Aokiji had already appeared in front of Su Xiao, kicking Su Xiao's arm with one leg.

"Ara ara, where did your blade go."

Aokiji exerted force on his leg while speaking, and cold ice spread, rapidly freezing Su Xiao inside.

With a 'pala' crisp sound, a hole broke open at Aokiji's brow. It was Fangzhi, but Aokiji had been guarding against this move of Su Xiao. The hole in his head wasn't Fangzhi piercing through, but he himself controlling the elementalized body to shatter.

Over ten meters away, the cold ice hand gradually retracted into the ice surface. Looking at the appearance, it was going to bring Checking Zhan Long Shan into the sea, eventually causing Checking Zhan Long Shan to sink into the seabed.

With a splash, Fangzhi, which flew to Su Xiao's hand, shattered and reshaped, forming the appearance of Checking Zhan Long Shan, but the blade edge was composed of broken blades and wasn't completely spliced together.

Su Xiao gripped the hilt, and his temperament immediately changed. The ice layer on his body shattered in large areas.

Zing!

The long blade slashed toward Aokiji. Aokiji raised his left arm, and an arm shield formed by cold ice appeared on his forearm, just blocking the long blade slashing over. While blocking Su Xiao's attack, a nearly two-meter-long sharp cone in Aokiji's right hand had already stabbed toward Su Xiao. This ice cone with a sharp front end looked like it had strong penetrating power, stabbing straight toward Su Xiao's throat.

With a 'pala' crisp sound, the long blade slashing on the ice shield shattered, but Aokiji had a feeling of hair standing on end.

With a splash, the broken blades bypassed the ice shield and re-assembled into the blade tip.

The long blade slashed past, and drops of blood splashed. A wound was slashed open at Aokiji's chin. His pupils contracted, and the cold air instantly froze the wound at his chin.

Aokiji retreated half a step, reaching out to grab his chin. With a 'crack', he forcibly tore off a piece of frozen skin from his chin and threw it on the ground.

The frozen skin shattered as soon as it landed. Two tiny broken blades flew out, gathering on the long blade in Su Xiao's hand.

The long blade changed form, forming a hiltless stabbing sword shape. Under Su Xiao's control, it stabbed toward that cold ice hand. At this time, this cold ice hand only revealed a section of fingers.

Bang, bang, bang...

Fangzhi stabbed the cold ice hand inside the ice layer until it was shattered. Su Xiao raised his hand, and Checking Zhan Long Shan flew out from the ice pit.

With a 'pala' sound, Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan. The hilt was a bit cold.

"My blade is here."

Su Xiao exerted force in his hand, and the solid ice on the blade edge shattered. This battle, which lasted less than a minute, was unusually dangerous. Whether it was Su Xiao or Aokiji, as long as they revealed a flaw, they would die.

Dong!

The entire ice surface vibrated. Several marines flew to near Su Xiao and Aokiji, full of blood, their wounds like cracked land. This was the injury caused by the Gura Gura no Mi.

"Gurararara, Aokiji brat."

Whitebeard walked over with big strides, holding the naginata. That sense of oppression made Aokiji subconsciously clench his fists.

"Dai Funka."

Magma fists flew toward Whitebeard. Whitebeard didn't stop his charging steps, swinging the naginata in his hand like a tiger, slashing and shattering those magma fists in a few slashes.

With a swoosh, a golden ray attacked Whitebeard's chest. Whitebeard held the naginata horizontally in front of his chest, and a white halo appeared at the front end of the naginata.

Boom!

An explosion appeared, and Whitebeard waved his arms.

Akainu and Kizaru had all arrived. As for Marco, who had held back Kizaru earlier, he was fighting with a strong man who was not human, and a little boy was helping on the side. Although this little boy looked cute, he was speaking vulgar language.

Gurgle...

Magma surged. With a gloomy face, Akainu, wearing a dark red suit, spoke:

"Whitebeard, your era is over."

Akainu stared at Whitebeard while using his peripheral vision to scan the Moby Dick. The plan he had deployed earlier failed. The pirate he had 'turned' had not shown up for a long time and failed to sneak attack Whitebeard. ===== CHAPTER 1802 =====
