Chapter 57
Although Karina felt a bit unwilling, she had trained so hard these past few days. After eating the Devil Fruit and gaining its power, she clearly felt she had become much stronger.
But when facing someone of this level of strength, she still couldn’t help. The only thing she could do was raise her barriers to protect everyone.
Although she also wanted to face it together with Rorschach and fight alongside him.
However, the current situation wasn’t the time for her to be willful. Karina’s talent was wisdom, so she could clearly see the situation and immediately judged that protecting the others and retreating was the best choice.
After Karina and the girls left, Aokiji slowly spoke up.
"If I wasn’t here on a mission, I really wouldn’t want to fight you. That flame looks really troublesome. I’ve never seen you use it before."
Aokiji condensed an ice blade with freezing air in his hand. Seeing this, Rorschach also drew the twin swords from his waist.
Hehe, when it came to swordsmanship, he wasn’t afraid of this Navy Admiral at all.
Although every Navy Admiral had quite good swordsmanship and physical skills, what they relied on most was still their Devil Fruit abilities.
Among the three Admirals, only Kizaru — the one Zephyr always nagged about — was the one who truly played with swords.
Compared to him, Akainu and Aokiji basically relied on their fruits for combat.
"Hehe, if I don’t keep some trump cards, wouldn’t I be completely exposed to you all?" Rorschach said with a smile.
"How scary. Even when facing Crocodile, you didn’t use your full strength? Then I have no choice but to get a little serious."
The originally somewhat lazy tone also became serious.
With that, both figures disappeared at the same time.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Aokiji’s ice blade and Rorschach’s twin swords had already clashed dozens of times in that instant.
When the two reappeared, the ice blade and twin swords were locked in a stalemate.
"Ara ara, is this the monstrous strength Smoker mentioned? To be able to match those clashes just now without falling behind." frёeωebɳovel.com
Aokiji thought to himself in secret admiration.
Suddenly, Rorschach pulled up a smile. Aokiji immediately became highly alert. A shocking force suddenly came from his hand, and Aokiji instantly flashed back to retreat.
Rorschach just stood quietly in place, smiling at him without continuing the pursuit.
Aokiji silently glanced at the ice blade in his hand. For some reason, part of it had already melted.
It should be known that the hardness of Aokiji’s ice blade was enough to clash with famous swords without losing a single ice shard.
Now it had unknowingly melted a bit while clashing with Rorschach. Was it because of that strange flame?
Thinking of this, he activated his Ice-Ice Fruit ability again, and the ice blade re-condensed. This time, the elemental power was even denser than before.
"This troublesome flame ability... This mission is really annoying."
Aokiji muttered to himself, then clashed with Rorschach once more.
Both used high-speed slashes to fight each other, but after more than a dozen exchanges, with a crack sound, Aokiji’s ice blade actually broke into two pieces!
Aokiji retreated again. This time, his eyes carried a trace of doubt.
Why did the ice blade, which had been strengthened with more elemental power, break again this time?
"Rorschach, is this flame your Devil Fruit ability? I’m very curious what kind of fruit can cut my ice blade twice."
Aokiji scratched his head somewhat irritably. It seemed swordsmanship wouldn’t work. The flame was too effective against ice. Even after strengthening the elemental power, it still couldn’t hold up for long against this strange flame.
"Who knows? Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t."
Rorschach shrugged with a look that said he wasn’t going to tell.
"What a joke. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to find out for myself."
Aokiji’s half body became covered in frost. It looked like he had already entered Ice Form.
"Ice Block: Two Thorn Spears."
Four freezing spears shot forward at high speed.
Not a wide-range skill! Seeing the incoming freezing spears, Rorschach raised his hand and sent out six flying slashes.
"Lion Majesty: Thousand Cut Valley."
Four sword waves respectively shattered the spears. The remaining two pierced through Aokiji, but they were still dodged in advance by Observation Haki elementalization.
"Ice Block: Storm Ice Rain."
Aokiji said the technique name in a deep voice.
