Chapter 789 Ice Age
Immediately afterwards, he swung his right arm, and a huge fiery fist, carrying endless rage and power, slammed into the surging lava.
The entire crack transformed into a sea of fire.
When the flames subsided, countless hellhounds once again poked their heads out.
"It really doesn't work at all!" Ace muttered to himself, looking embarrassed.
After all, compared to the incredibly hot and surging magma, flames are like a small fry compared to a big fish; they are just an insignificant little brother.
Recalling the thrilling battle two and a half years ago, the terrifying pressure and absolute power he felt when facing Akainu were exactly the same as the scene before him now.
Back then, I felt so small and powerless in the face of Akainu's magma power, and now I'm facing a similar predicament again.
Just when Ace felt helpless, suddenly, a figure appeared beside him without warning.
Upon closer inspection, the newcomer turned out to be none other than the former Admiral of the Navy—Aokiji! Aokiji's face was ashen, his eyes were firm and cold, and he exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.
As Aokiji decisively activated his Devil Fruit ability, two extremely cold air currents, like dragons emerging from the sea, rushed towards the huge crack with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, the ground that was originally churning with scorching magma was completely frozen by this extreme cold, forming a crystal-clear ice field.
Seeing this, Vice Admiral Smoker and the other officers and soldiers around him were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. They never imagined that in such a dangerous situation, someone could single-handedly turn the tide and instantly subdue the terrifying lava.
"As expected of a Marine Admiral..." Smoker couldn't help but mutter in admiration.
In his view, only someone with immense strength and top-tier Devil Fruit abilities like Aokiji could so easily deal with and suppress such scorching lava.
Moreover, everyone knew that the ice blocks created by Aokiji were not ordinary ice blocks; they had an astonishingly long freezing endurance, capable of remaining frozen for up to a full week without melting.
"Kuzan! What are you doing?" With this angry shout, Aokiji's seemingly casual action instantly made the faces of the four Five Elders present turn extremely ugly, as if covered with frost.
At this moment, each of them was enveloped in an incredibly sturdy black three-dimensional barrier, like an indestructible fortress, protecting them tightly.
"Hey, old man, I'd like to ask you all, what exactly do you want to do? Do you really intend to wipe out all these marines?"
Faced with the questioning gazes of the Five Elders, Aokiji showed no sign of backing down and instead coldly retorted.
Since the Five Elders arrived at Navy G1, Aokiji has not made any unnecessary moves.
Deep down, he really longed to see firsthand what methods the Five Elders would use to deal with the current predicament.
He eagerly anticipated resolving the current thorny issues with the Five Elders through peaceful negotiations.
However, harsh reality slapped him hard in the face, making him realize, as if waking from a dream, that he had made a grave mistake.
It turns out that these five high-ranking figures had no intention of resolving the conflict through negotiations at all. Their real purpose for this trip was to completely eliminate all factors that could cause trouble!
The moment the terrifying hellhound was summoned, he was horrified to discover that the true face hidden behind the Five Elders' mask had finally been revealed.
If he were simply dealing with those vicious pirates, perhaps he wouldn't be so indignant.
However, what he saw before him was these vicious dogs from hell launching indiscriminate and extremely brutal attacks on everyone, including the marines. This inhumane behavior made him unable to tolerate it any longer!
"This was absolutely unavoidable, Kuzan! Have you forgotten the soldier's duty to resolutely carry out military orders?" Topman Vocuri Saint rebuked him sternly.
