Chapter 58
When Aokiji shouted the name of his technique, Rorschach immediately sensed the abnormality above his head.
He looked up and saw the sky filled with dense icicles hanging in the air.
Rorschach’s pupils widened slightly. In the short time it took to swing his sword wave, Aokiji had already created such a wide-range skill right above him?
Boom.
The icicles, radiating bone-chilling cold, rained down like droplets, striking the area where Rorschach stood.
The sound of icicles shattering rang out continuously. Freezing air and broken ice slowly enveloped the bombarded zone. This bombardment lasted a full thirty seconds.
Aokiji watched the thick fog spreading everywhere, unable to see the situation inside, so he swept over it directly with Observation Haki.
A vigorous life signature appeared in his perception. Without hesitation, he raised his hand again, intending to use another icicle bombardment.
" Mighty Nation!"
Suddenly, Aokiji felt a sense of crisis. He stopped the motion of releasing his big move and did his best to distance himself from where he had just been standing.
Bang.
A massive spherical energy blast shot out from the fog straight toward Aokiji.
The high-temperature energy pulverized and melted all the houses and soil along its path. A violent gale swept across the entire small town. Only after the energy flew out of sight did it finally calm down.
At the very last moment, Aokiji erupted with his fastest speed to escape the attack range.
At this point, he was already covered in cold sweat. Looking at the scorched ground where the energy had passed, a chill ran through his heart.
If that attack had hit him just now, even he wouldn’t have come out unscathed.
He had clearly sensed the Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki coating within that energy.
Rorschach slowly walked out from the center of the icicle bombardment. The clothes on his upper body had completely vanished, revealing his firm, powerful muscles.
His pants had also turned from long trousers into shorts. If he hadn’t deliberately protected them to avoid exposure, even those half-shorts might have disappeared. ƒrēewebnovel.com
He really didn’t know how Luffy and the others’ clothes were made — no matter how heavy the bombardment, they never suffered the slightest damage.
"Hey, you don’t play fair! You were trying to sneak attack just now, right? In a fight, there should at least be some turn-based system. You can’t just make me stand there and take hits!" frёewebηovel.cѳm
Rorschach said through gritted teeth.
Of course, he was only saying that. In a real battle, no one would give you time to catch your breath. If there was a chance to follow up, they definitely would.
"Rorschach, weren’t you the same? That last move was meant to kill me, right? That was really dangerous. I almost got taken out by you."
Aokiji glanced at the scorched marks on the ground, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly as he spoke.
If Aokiji’s earlier move had split Mock Town in half like giving it a middle part, then Rorschach’s attack had plowed a massive trench right down the middle of that part, cutting straight through the entire island until seawater slowly flowed in to fill it.
The gale had blown away the fog, allowing Aokiji to see Rorschach’s current condition.
His clothes were gone. Aside from some scratches on his body, there wasn’t even a single broken skin wound.
This time, he was truly shocked. His attack hadn’t caused any damage?!
What kind of monstrous defense was this?
From Aokiji’s knowledge, there were only three people on the seas with this kind of physique — Emperor Big Mom, Emperor Kaido, and the remaining monster locked away in Impel Down, Bullet.
The key point was that all three were famous great pirates. In other words, if Rorschach continued to grow like this, another great pirate on the same level as the Emperors might appear in the future.
Rorschach’s current stance was extremely unclear. Aokiji didn’t dare guarantee that after letting him sail the seas for a while longer, he wouldn’t turn into a pirate.
With such powerful strength and a crew member who could read Poneglyphs...
Aokiji’s expression darkened. He couldn’t allow Rorschach to continue sailing like this. The threat to the Navy was simply too great.
"Hahahaha, a Navy Admiral’s strength isn’t limited to just this, right? After holding back for so many days, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a satisfying fight. Let me see the true power of a Navy Admiral!"
After the earlier exchanges, Rorschach’s battle lust had been fully ignited. Right now, he really wanted to use this big fight to vent all the pent-up combat desire he had suppressed.
He took out the Stamina Surge Potion from the sign-in reward, opened the cap, and drank it down in one gulp.
In the brief moment he was drinking the medicine, Aokiji sensed a good opportunity to attack.
Elemental power gathered in his hand. He leaped into the air and, looking down at Rorschach who was drinking the medicine, directly unleashed his freezing technique.
"Ice Ball."
Five ice pillars shot out from Aokiji’s palm toward Rorschach. This technique was extremely fast. The five ice pillars completely encased Rorschach.
A cold wind swept past. The freezing air visibly turned Rorschach into a spherical ice crystal at high speed.
After landing, Aokiji didn’t stop. His right arm began to be covered in frost as half his body entered elemental form.
Aokiji gathered all the cold air in his body onto his right arm.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak."
With a deep shout, his right arm transformed into an ice bird and shot forward. The target was Rorschach, who had already been turned into an ice block.
The ice bird radiated bone-chilling cold air. Wherever it passed, it left trails of white mist. The moisture in the air was condensed into frost.
Inside the ice block, Rorschach’s mouth curved into a grin. His entire body became covered in Armament Haki.
He crushed the empty Stamina Surge Potion bottle in his hand. Along with the shattering bottle, the ice freezing his body also broke apart. A violent aura surged out.
Facing the oncoming ice bird, Rorschach drew his sword, condensed his Armament Haki, and released his strongest sword wave.
"Slash Wave: Purgatory."
At this point, Rorschach no longer cared whether he had enough Armament Haki. Having drunk the Stamina Surge Potion, his stamina was now unlimited!
Crack.
Two pitch-black sword waves collided with the ice bird, producing an explosion. The ice bird began to shatter like glass.
The shattering of the ice bird also offset the impact of the sword waves. Broken ice filled the sky, and the mist from the ice explosion blocked the space between the two.
However, both sides’ Observation Haki had locked onto each other.
Rorschach chose to strike first. His black twin swords crossed, and a golden dragon head phantom appeared. It shot forward with a roar.
"Fierce Dragon Sky-Severing Slash."
This move was one Rorschach had developed himself while learning swordsmanship, modeled after a game from his previous life. Although it was only superficial in form, it was currently his fastest technique.
His figure streaked forward. The roaring dragon head broke through the mist and charged straight ahead.
Facing the fierce oncoming Rorschach, Aokiji also didn’t want to take it head-on. He was just about to turn and leap away from the spot when he suddenly discovered that his ankles were wrapped in a layer of giant stones.
The force coming from his feet felt as if these giant stones had merged with the earth. For a moment, he couldn’t break free.
Looking at the somewhat dazed Aokiji across from him, Rorschach’s grin grew even wider.
"Lion Majesty: Earth Coiling."
As early as the moment he charged forward, he had already prepared to activate his fruit ability.
Aokiji, who had been fully focused on sensing Rorschach’s movements, naturally hadn’t noticed in that instant that his feet had been wrapped by stone blocks.
