"Bullet, get out of my way!"
When Garp saw Bullet blocking him, he immediately charged over again with an angry punch.
You know, Garp is even a generation older than Nox, while Bullet is younger than Nox. It was fine that he was defeated by Nox, but now even Bullet can catch up to him. This made Garp feel like he was getting old!
"Hahahahaha, Garp, our Captain is not someone like you, a loser, who can challenge him. If you want to challenge our Captain, defeat me first!"
Bullet laughed heartily, re-condensed the power and gravity of his fist, and mobilized the strength of his entire body to blast towards Garp.
The current Bullet, besides his own Captain, is not afraid of anyone and dares to fight anyone. Just a mere Garp, Bullet is confident that he can defeat the opponent!
He even dares to fight Whitebeard in his Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening form!
While Garp and Bullet were fighting fiercely, Aokiji took a detour, wanting to deal with those steel warships. After all, the firepower of those steel warships was too fierce. If those steel warships kept firing, the Marine warships would suffer heavy losses.
"Ara la la la, so it's the eldest princess of the Limitless Pirates. It seems my plan failed!"
However, just as Aokiji took a detour, he found that a cold and beautiful woman in white from those steel warships directly blocked his path.
The woman exuded the same cold aura as him. Just by standing on the Sea, the Sea within a radius of 500 meters was instantly frozen.
When Esdeath saw Aokiji, she didn't say a word. The Supreme Grade Swords shura sword at her waist was instantly unsheathed.
"Ice Kill · Instant Slash!"
The moment she transformed into her human-beast form, the ice layer beneath Esdeath's feet instantly cracked. A white light flashed, and the ultimate slash directly split the Aokiji in front of her in half.
However, the Aokiji who was split in half directly turned into shattered ice blocks. Those ice blocks even automatically rushed towards Esdeath's body.
"Ice Shield!"
As those ice blocks rushed towards Esdeath, they were blocked by layers of ice shields. Then, those ice blocks emitted an extremely cold aura, freezing those ice shields once again, forming another layer of ice crystals on the ice shields.
At the same time, a humanoid ice sculpture suddenly appeared from Esdeath's side, and a fist covered in Busoshoku Haki smashed over.
"Clang!!!"
At the critical moment, Esdeath's shura sword blocked Aokiji's fist.
At this moment, both Aokiji's fist and Esdeath's shura sword simultaneously surged with a large amount of freezing power and rushed towards each other.
"Crack crack!!"
The moment the two different freezing powers collided, countless ice crystals swept across a radius of several hundred meters, but Esdeath and the other person were not affected by the freezing power.
"So cold!"
After the fist and sword separated, Aokiji couldn't help but exhale a breath of cold air towards his fist, but then he was stunned. He himself was a natural type Ice-Ice Fruit ability user, and yet he actually felt cold. This was the first time in his more than twenty years!
"This woman's freezing power development direction is different from mine. She can actually affect my spiritual power, or rather, my soul!"
When Aokiji looked at Esdeath again, his gaze became extremely serious.
Perhaps the opponent's physical freezing power was not as good as his, but in other aspects, she was far superior to him, especially the terrifying freezing power that could affect his soul. If she continued to develop it, she might be able to directly freeze the enemy's soul!
Esdeath didn't pay attention to Aokiji's seriousness. Esdeath charged out again, but this time she didn't charge directly at Aokiji, but towards Aokiji's side.
The moment Esdeath landed, a huge block of ice suddenly rose from the ground. Then, Esdeath used this to borrow strength and burst out with even faster speed. After borrowing strength several times in a row, she moved rapidly around Aokiji.
Even Aokiji could only catch a faint glimpse of Esdeath's figure with his Kenbunshoku Haki. This speed was simply too fast!
"Two-pronged Spear!!"
Aokiji knew that he couldn't let Esdeath continue to build up momentum. After locking onto Esdeath's figure, two huge ice crystal spears suddenly shot out from the ground and stabbed over.
However, Esdeath seemed to have predicted Aokiji's attack in advance and dodged it with a slight movement of her body.
"Ice Kill · Four Directions Exhausting the Enemy!"
At this moment, Esdeath drew her sword without hesitation and slashed at Aokiji. The extremely cold and sharp aura made Aokiji extremely serious.
Because Aokiji saw Esdeath slashing from four directions, completely surrounding him. He didn't even know which one was the real Esdeath!
At the critical moment, although Aokiji dodged the slashes from the front and sides, he was hit by the slashes from the front and back simultaneously.
Aokiji's body turned into an ice sculpture again and disappeared on the ice. However, hot blood flowed from the ice sculpture.
When Aokiji reappeared, he was a hundred meters away. At this moment, there was a bright red sword wound on his shoulder.
"Fighting this woman, you really can't relax at all!"
Aokiji looked at the sword wound on his shoulder and couldn't help but curl his lips.
His ability was arguably restrained by Esdeath. His freezing power had no advantage against her, and his usual methods were useless, as the opponent also controlled the same power as him.
Then, the next step could only be a competition of Haki, swordsmanship, and body art power outside of freezing power.
"Fortunately, I was smart and didn't make a move immediately. Otherwise, if I had to deal with that woman, I would be a little scared!"
While Aokiji and Esdeath were fighting fiercely, Aramaki, wearing a bamboocopter like Doraemon on his head, flew over from a thousand meters high and directly reached the sky above the Limitless Pirates' steel warships.
"Tree Man Seeds, go and destroy those iron lumps!"
Aramaki didn't directly rush down to personally destroy those steel warships, but instead waved his hand and scattered many plant seeds down.
Once these plant seeds landed on those steel warships, Aramaki could make the plant seeds revive and grow, and then remotely control those plants to destroy the steel warships.
This method was useless against opponents of the same level, but it was still somewhat useful for bullying weaker opponents. What was more important was that Aramaki didn't dare to go down in person, for fear that Nox would notice him and cut him down with a sword.
Ever since he was defeated by Esdeath last time, he had a psychological shadow. Even Esdeath was so strong. If he was targeted by Esdeath's father, the strongest man in the World, he felt terrified just thinking about it.
