Chapter 163: Nojiko: "Aokiji, I can absorb your ice."
"Great Pheasant Beak." Aokiji extended his hands, releasing a large amount of cold air, forming an enormous ice bird.
The ice bird spread its wings, extended its ice claws, opened its mouth, and even used its icy tail feathers.
It grabbed all the Sea Stone weapons and instantly flew away into the distance.
"What, he actually thought of that." Tatsumaki was startled; her Psychokinesis was incredibly powerful, capable of even dropping giant meteorites, but it did have the drawback of a limited range.
And now, the Sea Stone weapons had been carried away by the ice bird. Beyond her range, she couldn't control them or make them return.
Without the Sea Stone, she had no way to deal with Aokiji; while her Armament Haki was effective, her close-combat ability was still too poor.
However, Aokiji also couldn't do anything to her like before, and besides, she also had Nojiko's help.
Nojiko immediately saw Tatsumaki's disadvantage.
So she immediately rushed towards Aokiji below, holding her cold core thousand illusions staff, while saying,
"Sister Tatsumaki, leave close combat to me. You cover me with long-range attacks."
After saying this, Nojiko also brought her staff down on Aokiji's head, but it was immediately blocked by Aokiji, who held a long ice blade in both hands.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you, but it's a pity, what can a beginner Reserve Admiral like you do?"
Aokiji looked up, speaking with a somewhat surprised tone.
"Oh, really? Absorb." Nojiko gave Aokiji a mischievous smile, uttering a word that made Aokiji feel confused. Absorb? What absorb?
But the next moment, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"What? How is that possible?"
Aokiji's ice blade suddenly turned into energy and was absorbed by Nojiko into the cold core thousand illusions staff, strengthening its energy. Aokiji was also knocked back by Nojiko's staff.
"Ice Staff Snowstorm." Nojiko switched the cold core thousand illusions staff to nunchaku mode and immediately threw it. The nunchaku spun rapidly in the air like a boomerang, generating a massive ice and snow tornado with its Freezing energy. This ice and snow tornado, as if alive, surged towards Aokiji.
The cold air was biting, and the pressure was immense.
"Freezing Time Capsule." Aokiji struck out with a palm, unleashing an ultra-strong cold air shockwave. The two powerful Freezing techniques collided.
The collision created a giant iceberg at its center.
It was dazzling and shone like a diamond.
"Hmph!" But Tatsumaki let out a shout and waved her hands. Under the powerful Psychokinesis, the giant iceberg was pulled out of the ice surface and hurled towards Aokiji.
With a rumble, the massive iceberg crashed down directly. The intense impact and immense weight caused several cracks to appear on the surrounding ice surface.
But suddenly, a large amount of ice shards flew over from the side, forming a human shape on the giant iceberg, and finally, Aokiji appeared on it.
"Such attacks are useless against me." Aokiji looked at Tatsumaki in the sky and smiled.
After all, a giant iceberg smashing down was pure physical damage, and since it was ice, how could it harm him, a Freeze-Freeze Fruit user? He had easily dodged it by Elementalization just now.
"Hehe." But Tatsumaki, in response, crossed her arms over her chest, maintaining a reclining posture in the air, even crossing her legs. She looked incredibly beautiful and charming, and at this moment, her expression was full of disdain and mockery.
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Seeing Tatsumaki like this, Aokiji suddenly had a bad premonition.
Suddenly, his eyes couldn't help but widen, because he realized Nojiko was gone.
"Are you looking for me?" Nojiko's voice suddenly rang out. Aokiji was stunned, because he realized the voice was actually... coming from beneath his feet.
He frantically lowered his head, but it was too late.
Nojiko burst out from inside the iceberg, still holding the cold core thousand illusions staff that had been frozen inside the iceberg earlier.
Most importantly, there was a layer of jet-black substance on it, clearly imbued with the power of Armament Haki.
"Bang...!!"
Nojiko thrust her staff into Aokiji's mid-abdomen and chest, sending him flying backward.
------------------------
Chapter 164 Aokiji gritted his teeth, speaking with great difficulty.
"Damn it, I was careless." Enduring the sudden urge to vomit that had just arisen in his heart.
Aokiji gritted his teeth, speaking with great difficulty.
"And me!" But suddenly, a voice rang out in Aokiji's ear. He quickly turned his head and saw a sight that even made him feel horrified.
"Tatsumaki." Aokiji immediately uttered the name of the person flying towards him.
"Correct answer. This is your reward, my newly developed move, Psychic Wave Fist."
Tatsumaki sneered. At this moment, her small fist had already condensed the power of Armament Haki, but even more, it was green energy representing highly compressed Psychokinesis, with the former enveloped by the latter.
But Aokiji still saw the Armament Haki underneath, coupled with the super-concentrated Psychokinesis energy in this punch, no wonder he was horrified.
"Ice Armor, Ice Shield."
Unable to dodge, Aokiji immediately donned a layer of ice armor and extended both arms to condense an ice shield in front of him, strengthening his defense.
"This should help me withstand a good amount of damage." Aokiji immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Clearly, he was very confident in his double ice defense.
But unfortunately, he made the same mistake as Kizaru and Akainu; he was now fighting two opponents. Of course, Kizaru was worse off than them; that Yellow Monkey was now fighting three.
But now, the situation of the Three Admirals was not good at all.
Aokiji was in the same predicament now. As he prepared to face Tatsumaki's punch,
"Snow Woman Chains."
But suddenly, Nojiko appeared on his right side, extending her delicate hands, condensing a large amount of cold air and chilling energy. Finally, two chains made of ice and snow extended out.
They ultimately trapped Aokiji's movements.
"Hmm? Your actions won't reduce my defense." Although Aokiji's movements were restricted, he still asked, puzzled.
He didn't understand why Nojiko did this, but suddenly, he remembered what had happened before, and his face immediately showed an expression of extreme terror.
But this time, he was too late again, and besides, his mobility was already restricted.
"Absorb." Nojiko's expression showed triumph, but she immediately used the ice chains to absorb all the ice shield and ice armor on Aokiji, turning them into pure ice energy.
"Take this punch!" At this moment, Tatsumaki's punch also landed with a bang. Aokiji couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood. Tatsumaki's punch hit his chest, and he felt as if his entire body, inside and out, including his internal organs, had experienced a massive earthquake.
With the appearance of a sonic boom, Aokiji, like a giant rock rolling down a mountain, was directly punched into the ice surface.
His condition was somewhat grim. The audience at this moment was also dumbfounded; both the cooperation between Tatsumaki and Nojiko and the strength of the two girls completely conquered them.
Most importantly, it was Nojiko. They truly hadn't expected that the power of the Snow Woman Fruit would give Nojiko the ability to absorb ice and convert it into energy to replenish herself. Yes, many people had indeed figured it out.
Aokiji looked somewhat strained as he emerged from the ice hole.
He was immediately met with fierce attacks from Tatsumaki and Nojiko again.
Meanwhile, Borsalino, who was also having a hard time like the Three Admirals of the Navy, was also struggling.
"Sizzle...!"
Borsalino once again suffered from the seven characteristics of the demon blade thousand blades.
It directly ignored one of his passive defenses, and even though Borsalino dodged, it still left a slash on his arm.
Blood splattered across the ice surface, soaking his clothes.
"This is truly tough to deal with. The demon blade thousand blades is indeed an excellent blade."
Borsalino said with a bitter smile after a simple treatment, and he was panting. After fighting for so long, his stamina consumption could be said to be very severe.
But what puzzled him was why Kuina's stamina still seemed so abundant.
According to the intelligence gathered earlier, wasn't her Red Eyes state very stamina-consuming?
No, could it be, could it be related to the purple gas currently emanating from her body?
He had indeed guessed correctly. Kuina, possessing demon clan bloodline power within her body, had her demon clan bloodline power strengthened during combat.
Kuina's total stamina now was at least about 8 times what it was before consumption.
Let alone Borsalino, probably not even any of the Three Admirals of the Navy could match Kuina's stamina now.
"Of course, I am the first mate of the Pink Hat Pirates." Kuina pointed her blade at Borsalino, saying coldly, as if she were a battle-hardened female swordswoman who had just emerged from hell.
And seeing his daughter's current achievements and strength, Genzo Shimotsuki, the master of Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village of the East Blue, who was also watching this live broadcast, couldn't help but shed tears of emotion. At the same time, he had to admit that his vision was too narrow, and the path he had made his daughter take before was wrong.
So he was now also very grateful to Luna for guiding Kuina back onto a path that truly suited her, allowing her to achieve such accomplishments and achieve such battle results.
But in fact, if Luna were to hear this, she would definitely say she was wronged, because Kuina's current abilities and strength had already deviated greatly from what she had once told Kuina.
Most importantly, Luna could tell that Kuina seemed to have developed a fondness for dark power.
Whether this matter was good or bad, she still couldn't tell.
"Hurricane Tiger Roar Kick."
But suddenly, Sana from the side launched an attack on Borsalino. With a tiger's roar, Sana delivered a flying kick carrying a large hurricane, and it was also imbued with Armament Haki.
Borsalino immediately blocked with both hands holding his blade, but the powerful force of Sana's kick still made him involuntarily retreat a few steps.
"Dark Demon Fiend." Kuina instantly appeared in front of him. She spun in place, and the demon blade thousand blades was wrapped in dark power, as if dark purple flames were burning on it.
She executed a drawing slash!!!
