【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 284 The Strength of the Navy Admiral

"Oh my, that's really too much!" Aokiji slowly stood up and pulled a handful of grass from the ground.

"Ahhh! He's resurrected!" Chopper watched in horror as Aokiji stood up again from the broken ice.

"ice skates!"

Qi clenched the pipe in his hand and watched Aokiji's actions with a serious expression. He threw the grass in his hand casually and blew a breath of cold air, and the grass instantly condensed into an ice blade.

"Although I don't want to take your life, but..." Aokiji said as he swung the knife at Robin.

"clang!"

Qi dodged and blocked it, then turned his wrist and knocked the ice blade out of his hand.

"Three Swords Style - One Hundred and Eight Trouble Winds!!"

Three fierce slashes instantly reached Aokiji.

Aokiji's right arm instantly stretched out and condensed into an ice blade again, blocking in front of him and easily blocking Zoro's flying slash without even moving. "Nice move." Aokiji commented.

Qi disappeared in an instant before Zoro's attack reached him, and then appeared silently behind Aokiji, jumped up, swung the tube wrapped in armed color, drew a large arc, and smashed it towards Aokiji's head. If successful, this blow would be enough to make the navy feel pain.

"Oh my, is it Haki?" Aokiji was a little surprised. It seemed that they knew little about this deputy captain.

"Armament coverage! Head kick!!" Sanji raised his leg and kicked Aokiji hard on the side of his face. At the same time, Luffy stretched out his arm and punched Aokiji hard in the abdomen. "Rubber rubber... bullet!!"

"It seems you are more dangerous than I thought."

Aokiji said as he looked at the Armament Haki covering Luffy's hands, he didn't expect to see Armament Haki domineering on several novice pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, and they were not weak at that.

Unfortunately, these domineering auras were still too weak for him. Aokiji's expression condensed, and he instantly knocked Zoro away. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed Sanji's ankle and Qi's tube. At the same time, cold air came out of his body. Sanji's ankle and Qi's tube were instantly wrapped in the cold air. At the same time, Luffy's fist hit Aokiji's abdomen, but the next second his arm was directly frozen by the cold air, except for the fist wrapped in the armament color.

For a moment, Qi thought their attack was effective. However, even with the armed color wrapping, they were still frozen by Aokiji's cold air. Qi covered the frozen pipes and hands with a grim expression, and wrapped the frozen hands with domineering, trying to slow down the invasion of cold air.

Aokiji freezes very quickly. Once you are touched by him, the bone-chilling cold will instantly invade your body. Even if the armament Haki blocks part of it, it will still affect the attacking action.

"Wow!!!" Luffy and Sanji fell to the ground, covering their frostbitten arms and ankles in pain.

"Luffy!!"

"Sanji!!"

"strange!!"

"How could it be! In just a moment, three people..." Nami said in disbelief, "Even Qi..."

"No... It's bad, we must give them treatment immediately! If they get frostbite, their hands and feet will rot!" Chopper shouted anxiously.

Zoro looked solemn and attacked Aokiji again. The blade instantly came in front of Aokiji. The next second, Zoro's attack was easily blocked again by Aokiji using the ice blade transformed by his arm.

"Can't you just stay still?" Aokiji said as he grabbed Zoro's shoulders, with cold air constantly coming out of his hands.

"careful!!.

Qi waved the pipe in his hand and attacked Aokiji again.

Feeling threatened by Qi, Aokiji did not give up his grip, but instead transformed his left hand into an ice blade "Armament Cover!" to block Qi's attack. He admitted that if he did not use Armament Haki, he would indeed be hurt by his attack. It was incredible that this kid had no bounty.

"Wow!!" Zoro fell to the ground, covering his frostbitten shoulder in pain.

"Zoron!!"

"What should we do! Zoro's arm is also frozen!!" Usopp was so scared that he sat on the ground, watching in horror as Aokiji waved the ice blade and continued to attack Qi.

"We need treatment quickly! Usopp, quickly treat these three..." Chopper shouted anxiously, and turned around to see Usopp trembling with fear.

"Although... although I want to, my whole body can't move. Am I frozen too?!" Usopp said in panic.

"No, you're just scared and can't move!" Chopper shouted angrily.

"Usopp! Take Robin away!" Qi jumped back and retreated away from Aokiji, waving the pipe to block Aokiji's attack with ice spikes formed by the surrounding leaves. As long as he was touched, the bone-chilling cold would instantly invade the body.

"Ah! I get it!" Usopp shouted, holding his head, got up from the ground and rushed towards Robin.

"It seems that you have met some good partners." Aokiji looked at Robin and said, then approached her, his whole body frozen as he hugged Robin, "But you are still you... Nico Robin!"

"No, I already..." Robin muttered to himself as he looked at Aokiji approaching.

"Robin!" Luffy looked at Aokiji who was about to hug Robin and shouted anxiously, "Danger! Get out of the way!"

"clang!"

"Lucci!!" Luffy shouted in surprise.

"Great, Robin is fine!" Nami breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Robin being hugged by Lucci. When Aokiji was about to hug Robin, Lucci appeared in time and blocked Aokiji's body with a knife. At the same time, Lucci took the opportunity to take Robin away from Aokiji's attack range.

The attack was blocked, which made Aokiji frown. He looked down at the man who blocked his attack and increased his cold air to freeze the knife in his hand.

A strong domineering aura instantly burst out and pointed directly at Aokiji. At the same time, Lucci swung the knife in his hand and slashed it fiercely. Aokiji flew into the dense forest behind him.

"boom!"

A muffled sound was heard from the dense forest, countless trees fell down, and the birds and beasts in the forest began to flee in all directions.

Lucci looked solemnly in the direction where Aokiji flew. He didn't think that move really hurt him. He just took advantage of the moment when he was distracted to knock him away.

He didn't understand why the Navy Admirals appeared in the first half of the Grand Line and attacked Luffy and the others. Even though they had good potential, it was not enough to attract the Navy Admirals' attention.

“Oh my, Conqueror Haki?” Even though he was knocked away, Aokiji’s expression remained unchanged. He looked at Lucci and praised him, “As expected of you, the vice-captain of Whitebeard’s second team. You have such strong power at such a young age.”

"Just what are you doing in this rookie pirate group?"

"Then why are you here, Admiral Aokiji?" Lucci asked vigilantly, holding the knife tightly in his hand.

"Lucci." Luffy struggled to get up and stood beside Lucci. He couldn't let Lucci fight alone.

Lucci frowned and looked at Luffy's frozen forearm.

"I'm fine!" Luffy shook his head and looked towards Aokiji with a serious expression. "That guy wants to take Robin away. I will never let Robin be taken away!"
