【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 285 1 Showdown

"Why don't you give up on that woman? You will soon know how much disaster she will bring to you!" Half of Aokiji's face began to freeze, and the next second he approached Robin and Qi at an extremely fast speed. Everyone didn't even react. "Ice Age!"

Qi quickly pushed Robin away and stood in front of her. Just when he wanted to use the pipe to block the attack, Aokiji's hand directly grabbed Qi's arm. Even Robin, who was pushed away by Qi, was not spared. The bodies of both of them began to freeze instantly.

"Ki!! Robin!!" Luffy shouted anxiously, and rushed towards Aokiji at the same time. "You bastard!! Stop it!!"

"Waaaaaah!! Qi and Robin turned into ice!!" Chopper shouted in panic.

"Don't scream so loudly... As long as they are thawed, they will come back to life! But... their bodies are easy to break, so be careful, if they break, they will die." Aokiji glanced at Luffy and Lucci who were rushing over, and said as he clenched his fist and swung at the two frozen people, "For example... like this!"

"Stop!" Luffy shouted in horror at Aokiji's actions, and quickly hugged the two men's waists and fell down to avoid Aokiji's fist.

"That was close!" Luffy said with lingering fear as he hugged the two frozen people.

When Aokiji was about to continue, Lucci kicked Aokiji to stop him and put the knife on his neck, "Don't move!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Usopp quickly took Robin and Odd from Luffy and moved away from the battle range.

"Nami! Usopp! Chopper! Get on board! Treat Robin and Chi!" Luffy ordered, "We must save them!"

"I...I got it!" Usopp and Chopper stammered. They had never seen Luffy look so solemn.

Chopper transformed into human form and carefully held Qi, while Usopp and Nami carefully carried Robin and Chopper and ran towards the shore where Merry docked.

"Ah Lala, why did you help them? As far as I know, the Whitebeard Pirates will not form an alliance with a group of novice pirates." Even with a knife on his neck, Aokiji was not worried at all and continued to ask casually, "Whitebeard will not let his son go on a mission alone. You left without permission."

"This has nothing to do with the navy." Lucci frowned and pressed the knife down. "You'd better leave here."

"You underestimate me too much." Aokiji said, "Although I believe in lazy justice, I will not remain indifferent when threatened by pirates." As he spoke, a fierce chill quickly broke out from his body, pointing directly at Lucci.

Feeling the chill that penetrated deep into his bones, Lucci immediately stepped back, dodging the ice cones that pierced from the ground, and at the same time mobilized the armed color domineering to cover his entire body to resist the invasion of the cold.

"You underestimate the admiral of the navy." Before Aokiji finished his words, he flashed close to Lucci, feeling a chill all over his body.

"Ice - Pheasant's Mouth!" Huge ice birds flew towards Aokiji along with his fists and attacked him.

Lucci looked solemn. He turned his wrist and launched several powerful slashes at Aokiji's ice bird. The ice bird was shattered directly. Just as Lucci jumped up and planned to pursue the victory, his observation Haki kept warning him, "You are careless."

"Danger!!" Luffy shouted anxiously. The ice birds that were smashed by Lucci did not disappear. The flying ice chips condensed again and quickly flew towards Lucci in the air.

Lucci's body was instantly frozen, Luffy rushed towards Lucci and wrapped his arms around Lucci's waist to slow down the impact of the fall "Rubber Balloon!"

"Lucci!!" Sanji looked at Lucci who was frozen instantly in shock.

"We can't let him act recklessly anymore!" Zoro struggled to stand up, pulled out the knife from his waist and bit it.

"Wait a minute!" Luffy carefully put down Lucci, clenched his fists and stared at Aokiji with red eyes. "I want to fight you to the death in this battle!!"

"I don't mind, but I don't have a boat to take the prisoners away, so I can only kill you!" Aokiji said, his body constantly freezing and emitting cold air.

……

"Chopper!!"

"Ahh, how come Lucci is frozen too!!" Chopper walked out of the cabin and shouted in horror when he saw Lucci who was frozen.

"I'll explain it to you later, save him first!" Zoro shouted anxiously.

"There are cracks in Lucci's ice, we don't know what to do!!" Sanji shouted nervously.

"Bring him in quickly, the ice must be melted with water immediately!" Chopper said anxiously.

Without hesitation, Zoro and Sanji carried Lucci into the bathroom, then jumped directly into the sea to melt the frozen parts.

"Dissolve it with cold water and massage the affected area! Then get on the boat quickly!" Chopper shouted to the two people in the water before leaving the deck.

"Where is Luffy? Where is Aokiji?" Usopp came out of the bedroom and asked anxiously when he saw Sanji and Zoro on the deck.

Sanji covered his frostbitten area with a wet towel and replied through gritted teeth, "I want to fight him one on one."

"One on one?" Usopp shouted in disbelief. "Are you guys just going to leave him like this?!"

Sanji gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "This is the captain's order."

"Even if it's the captain's order, you can't do this!" Usopp shouted angrily, "Don't you think you are too ruthless? Luffy..."

"Shut up!" Sanji angrily grabbed Usopp's collar and interrupted, "That was a one-on-one duel! Don't you understand?!"

"boom!"

The two people who were struggling turned their heads to look in the direction of the bathroom. Lucci was holding the door, standing at the door, his whole body wet.

"Where's Luffy?"

"Wait... wait a minute! Lucci! You can't move yet!" Qiao Ba said anxiously, pulling Lucci's clothes.

"Lucci, are you okay?" Sanji asked in surprise.

"Where is Luffy?" Lucci asked again.

"He said he wanted to duel Aokiji." Zoro said with a grim expression.

"I understand." After saying that, Lucci walked directly to the railing and jumped off the boat.

"Lucci!!" Chopper anxiously looked at Lucci's back as he left. "He just thawed and started breathing again!"

"Chopper, go treat Robin and Qi first." Zoro gritted his teeth and said, "We must also be prepared."

……

Aokiji sat cross-legged in front of the frozen Luffy and patted his head, "I can't stand it. I fell into your trap."

"Since you have accepted the challenge, if I win, this duel will end here, right? If I attack others, then I will be the one who is not tactful, right, Captain." Aokiji thought of something and raised his lips slightly, "Or do you really think you can beat me?"

"I have to say something ugly up front. You will never be able to deal with Nico Robin in the future. You cannot bear her inherent cruelty. The consequence of letting that woman on your ship... is this!"

Aokiji raised his leg, and at that moment a flash of sword light came over. Aokiji quickly put his foot down, took two steps back, and looked down at the place where his leg was cut. A trace of blood flowed out. Aokiji looked at Lucci who was panting and blocking in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "You are really tenacious."
