Crackling sounds echoed.
A chilling mist spread, instantly engulfing the entire Ghost General's Tomb.
Even breathing felt like a sharp sting.
The Frost Snowman in Nami's arms mustered its strength, releasing a brilliant azure halo, but it could only barely maintain a protective shield less than half a meter wide.
Although both were frost, their spiritual attributes were vastly different.
Furthermore, the frost domain released by Aokiji had a multiplier enhancement from the silver armor set, imbued with the power of frost magic, which even the most extreme flames could not melt.
"Damn it, I don't believe Robin is that kind of person! Stop it!"
The Fire Demon's roar.
Sanji's feet ignited with flames, brimming with violent energy, like an enraged beast.
The burning sound was like a howl.
Sizzling sounds emanated from the frost domain scorched by flames, releasing wisps of steam.
But soon, the extreme low temperature caused the steam to revert to water droplets, then freeze, and fall to the ground.
Even Sanji's flames flickered unsteadily, appearing on the verge of extinguishing.
Boom.
Sanji took a deep breath, and the magic power within him surged like boiling water, appearing on his legs.
The dying Demon Fire abruptly flared up.
Bang.
Sanji endured the low temperature of the frost domain, abandoning the magical protection for his exposed body, which was visibly covered in ice crystals.
But his legs kicked viciously into Aokiji's chest.
A cold, solid sensation.
A layer of frost armor blocked Sanji's Demon Fire, only slightly denting but not shattering.
Demon Fire Kick!
Sanji twisted his legs, the flames rotating like a propeller, tearing through the frost armor like a drill.
"Hoo..."
Aokiji raised his arms high, his elbows striking Sanji's legs.
Immediately, the fiercely burning flames were covered by ice crystals, freezing while still maintaining their drill-like shape.
The ice crystals spread along Sanji's legs, continuously covering his entire body.
Buzz.
A dazzling purple sword light tore through the air, cleaving Aokiji's frost armor into spiderweb-like cracks.
On Aokiji's chest, a skull-like mark condensed from ghostly energy also appeared.
Ghost Shadow Flash.
Zoro's figure appeared, maintaining his sword-swinging posture, continuously burning the ghostly energy within his body.
Aokiji was instantly blasted open by the explosive ghostly energy, scattering shattered ice all over the ground.
Sanji, freed from the ice, quickly retreated.
Crackling sounds...
"So, the scapegoats you found this time are quite capable."
A pile of shattered ice quickly reformed into Aokiji, who looked at Nico Robin with a complex gaze and asked, "So, you could have escaped just now, why did you hesitate?"
The combined efforts of Sanji and Zoro, although unable to harm Aokiji, could create an opportunity for Robin to escape.
"Shut up!"
A low growl, laced with anger, shifted Aokiji's gaze to Luffy's face.
"Nico Robin is my nakama! I won't allow anyone to bully my nakama!"
Luffy, who had remained still, was now full of rage.
Having broken free from the interference of Nika's will, he knew Aokiji was a Navy Admiral, and had been contemplating an escape plan.
Luffy was not reckless.
Just like escaping Enies Lobby and escaping the Navy's pursuit after saving Alabasta in the original story.
He was only willing to bet his life on things he deemed meaningful, not waste it aimlessly.
"Hand over Nico Robin, and I can let you go."
Aokiji's voice was cold, devoid of emotion, and he calmly stated, "In the past, I received care from your grandfather, so I can spare you now!"
"I want to leave with Robin!"
"No."
"I want Robin!"
"Only by handing over Robin can you live."
"I want Robin!"
"What a brainless idiot, in some ways, quite like Vice Admiral Garp."
Aokiji's veins bulged on his forehead, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he inwardly grumbled about the 'Dog Head Vice Admiral'.
"You're not allowed to hurt my nakama!"
Luffy's expression was serious.
He reached up, took off the Straw Hat from his head, and slammed it onto the ground.
A circle of spiritual domain broke through the ice's blockade and spread out.
Immediately, white light appeared, like brilliant specks of light, filling the entire spiritual domain.
Luffy clenched his fists and rapidly swayed his body, leaving behind trails of white afterimages.
"Is it the Blue Fists Saint?"
Aokiji's brows furrowed slightly, and he instantly identified Luffy's ability, muttering to himself, "White afterimages, and has he also exchanged for Holy Light-attributed items or bloodlines?"
Judging from the aura he emitted, Captain Luffy was probably the strongest player in the entire Straw Hat Crew.
But it was still not enough...
Four layers of ice walls rose from the ground, encircling the agile Luffy.
His fists slammed into the ice walls, sending out fine ice shards.
Aokiji casually walked to the center of the battlefield, squatted down, and pressed his palms firmly against the damp ground.
Ice Dragon Whirl Dance.
Four wildly twisting ice pillars rose into the sky, with wisps of ice crystals hanging on them, like sharp, exploded scales.
A ferocious dragon head lifted itself.
It not only emitted a chilling aura but also a powerful, oppressive dragon's might.
It was not merely for show.
To enhance the power of the [Ice Dragon Whirl Dance] skill imprint, Aokiji traveled to the Thousand Year Snow Mountain, personally killed a young dragon with the Lv.4 Scathach bloodline, and even slayed a Golden-level boss with Ice Dragon bloodline.
He gathered the materials, combined them with Enlightenment Pills, and exchanged for the skill entry [Ice Dragon Majesty], which could imbue the Ice Dragon Whirl Dance skill imprint with powerful dragon's might.
"Roar..."
The roar shook the heavens, reverberating through the frost.
Whether it was Sanji with his boiling Demon Fire, Zoro who wielded his Three-Sword Style flawlessly, Nami who spewed molten rocks from her Exploding Heating Furnace, or Luffy trapped inside the ice walls...
Their bodies all began to gradually freeze over.
"Can't break it?"
Sanji shook his arms, his face full of astonishment.
Demon Fire was no ordinary flame, yet it couldn't burn through his frozen arms.
The surface of the ice crystals covering his arms had a fine, dragon-scale-like pattern, directly increasing the ice crystal's hardness several times over.
"It's over..."
Nami clutched her head in panic, frantically expending the magic power within her, wildly activating her four magical constructs.
Magic Acid Rain Cloud, Lava Potion, Anti-Gravity Device, Electric Eel Collision Machine!
The fusion products of technology and magic from the Demon World finally tore open a gap, scorching Aokiji's hands and forcing him to lift his palms from the ground.
The ice dragons, no longer controlled by Aokiji, were torn apart by the Straw Hat Crew.
"Should we escape?"
Although the Ghost General's Tomb was extremely rare, the Straw Hat Crew's strength was clearly no match for Aokiji.
Luffy picked up his Straw Hat and put it on his head, nodding without hesitation, "Let's go. His name is Aokiji. When I get stronger, I'll definitely beat him up!"
Suddenly, wildly growing vines burst through the soil, binding the Straw Hat Crew.
"Who is it?"
"Text Magic! I didn't expect the Navy to have the same ability as Robin!?"
Usopp pulled out a sharp short knife, cutting the vines wrapped around his right leg, mocking, "However, Robin's Book Magic is carved with the Devil's Prophecy's [Drowsy Devil Vines]! These vines released by the Navy can't compare to hers at all..."
Before he could finish speaking, Usopp felt drowsy and immediately realized something was wrong.
He turned his head and saw a thick magic book floating beside Robin, her hands still in a casting posture.
"Another betrayal?"
Aokiji's gaze was cold.
If the Straw Hat Crew wanted to escape, thousands of elite Navy soldiers plus himself would definitely not allow them to get away unscathed.
Some members would surely be captured, or even killed.
To ensure her own survival, had she chosen to betray her nakama again, to buy herself time to escape?
What a pity.
Aokiji sighed, his disappointment reaching its limit.
The Straw Hat Pirates fought a Navy Admiral to protect Nico Robin, yet they still couldn't move the Child of the Devil who had fallen into darkness?
Saul, my dear friend.
You made the wrong choice back then.
And what I must do now is to rectify that mistake and no longer waver in my justice!
"You all hold the Straw Hat Crew, don't let them escape! I'm going to pursue the Child of the Devil!"
Aokiji didn't hesitate.
He expended nearly seventy percent of his internal ice magic power to seal the Straw Hat Pirates within the [Dragon-patterned Ice Prison] he created.
Then he pulled out a motorcycle, [Ski Adventure: Silverwing], and sped along the frozen path in the direction Nico Robin had fled.
