Bonnie stared wide-eyed at the guy slowly approaching on his bicycle, her eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"Huh?! ...
"Why would a naval admiral be here?!"
"Aren't you pirates? He didn't come here specifically to capture you, did he?!"
Upon hearing her words, Robin bit her lip slightly and gripped the railing tightly with both hands.
The only possibility is that Aokiji would come here.
It's all because of her, the 'Devil of Ohara' with a bounty of 7 million!
When Aokiji stopped on the frozen sea not far from the beach, wearing sunglasses and a casual vest, he first raised his hand to greet Ron on the shore:
"Hey, long time no see."
"Congratulations on becoming a general."
Ron smiled at him.
In the year he left, in order to curb the increasing number of pirates in the New World and the Grand Line, the Marine Headquarters promoted Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, who possessed great strength, to the rank of Admiral in succession.
"Becoming a general isn't all that great. On the contrary, it means there's a lot more to do. Just as Mr. Garp said, a higher position means less freedom."
Aokiji scratched his head and said.
"I'm actually quite envious of how relaxed you are."
"Is this your theory of lazy justice?"
Ron smiled at him.
"That's it."
As Aokiji spoke, he turned to look at Robin on the deck.
"It really is you... Nico Robin."
Looking at Aokiji's familiar face and gaze, Robin trembled slightly, biting her lip and gripping the railing tightly with both hands.
"!"
Bonney looked at Robin beside her with a shocked expression.
She's Nico Robin?!
"Aokiji, even if you become an admiral, please don't scare my crew."
Wearing black beach shorts, Ron walked barefoot from the beach onto the frozen sea.
Upon hearing his words, Aokiji looked away and narrowed his eyes at Ron on the shore, saying, "I've already read the investigation report on what you've done this past year, and overall there's nothing wrong with it. But... why did you bring Nico Robin onto your ship? Don't tell me you didn't know her identity."
Ron looked at him calmly and said, "I have nothing to do with the Navy now. Even if you were a Marine Admiral, you wouldn't be able to interfere with my decisions, would you?"
“Protecting a criminal with a bounty of 7 million is enough to get you arrested, even if you’re not a pirate.”
"It's a cold voice," Aokiji said.
"Others may not know, but you should."
Upon hearing this, Ron gave him a cold smile: "To set a bounty of 7 million Berries on an eight-year-old child who had done nothing, simply because of his identity, is this the Navy's justice?"
Aokiji, wearing sunglasses, frowned and instantly exuded the aura of a Marine Admiral.
Bonnie and Robin on the ship's deck instantly felt a weight on their shoulders, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze and turn icy cold.
“Nicole Robin is a travel companion I approve of, and I do not agree with the Navy’s treatment of her.”
Ron reached out and slowly drew the lightning-encrusted Raikiri from the void.
"If the righteous navy thinks that my protecting her is a sin, then let them list me as the sinner."
As he completely pulled Raiche out of the void.
An equally astonishing sword aura and intent were also released from his body, transforming into a spiraling storm that soared into the sky and violently collided with Aokiji's aura.
A sudden gale swept across the sea, and the once clear sky darkened with dense clouds.
Bonnie stared at the two imposing figures on the frozen sea in the distance, her body drenched in cold sweat, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
That's a Navy Admiral! How dare he draw his sword against him... What was he thinking?!
No matter how strong they are, they can't possibly be a match for a Navy Admiral!
“You’ve become much stronger than when you left Marineford.”
Wearing sunglasses, Aokiji looked at Ron, who was holding a sword in one hand, a hundred meters away, and said, "Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, only a few of the top ranks can probably defeat you, but... you are no match for me now."
"If you insist on protecting Nico Robin, then I have no choice but to consider you as the evil party and eliminate you as soon as possible."
Robin's pupils contracted upon hearing his words.
A flash of golden lightning appeared on the sea surface, accompanied by a thunderous roar that tore through the air, instantly traversing a distance of 100 meters!
A lightning-fast, golden slash was Ron's answer to the admiral!
Bonnie's eyes were stung by the golden lightning, causing her to blink for a moment before she opened them again.
Ron, wielding a knife in one hand, had already appeared behind Aokiji.
A straight, sharp crack instantly appeared on the frozen sea surface between the two of them, "!!"
Bonnie stared in shock at Aokiji, whose body had been slashed open with a huge gash, almost split in two, yet no blood flowed out, and whose expression remained calm.
Ron glanced at the white frost that had appeared on the Thunder Cutter, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Aokiji's body, which was turned away from him, slowly turned into ice, his voice as lazy and calm as ever.
"Although you defeated Crocodile, who is also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, I am different from him. You... cannot defeat me now."
The words fell.
Sharp ice spikes shot out from the ice surface, aiming at Ron.
Ron stomped down hard with his Armament Haki-hardened foot, instantly shattering the ice spikes and creating a huge hole in the frozen sea beneath his feet.
The ice around him suddenly rose and transformed into enormous ice beasts, wreathed in terrifying cold as they lunged at Ron in the center.
The Lightning Blade in Ron's hand was instantly dyed purple-black by Armament Haki.
Breath of the Sun, changed to Breath of Flame!
Total concentration!
The blade, rendered purplish-black by Armament Haki, was enveloped in surging crimson flames as it slashed out in all directions!
"Breath of Flame - Fourth Form".
"Vortex of Blazing Flames!"
The massive fiery slash transformed into a swirling fire tornado, soaring into the sky.
The heatwave rippled outwards, and Bonnie and Robin on the deck couldn't help but shield themselves with their hands to block the scorching heat.
"Even the residual force is so astonishing, what terrifying strength..."
Bonnie was terrified.
I thought that the slash that cut the pirate ship in half that I had seen before was the peak of Ron's strength, but now it seems that it is far from it.
The enigmatic and unpredictable Ron, whose strength is unknown, and the Admiral who stands at the top of the Navy and represents the Navy's highest combat power.
What kind of battle will this be?!
Chapter 113, a breathtaking battle, Ron unleashing his full power.
Under the fiery tornado unleashed by Ron, the massive ice beasts that pounced upon them were instantly annihilated and vaporized.
The shockwave of intense heat spread outwards.
On the frozen sea, a layer of ice within a radius of 100 meters was instantly evaporated into white steam.
Appearing not far away, half of his body frozen in ice, radiating a chilling aura, Aokiji stared at Ron: "Oh? A high-temperature slash infused with flames... Let me see just how much strength you're still hiding?"
He raised his hand, and a terrifying chill emanated from his palm.
"puck."
With a swipe of his palm, five enormous ice pillars shot out rapidly toward Ron.
Ron, carrying Raiche, vanished from the spot in a flash.
The five enormous ice pillars crashed into the ice surface with tremendous force, causing the frozen sea to tremble and creating huge cracks that spread outwards.
Ron, who appeared not far from Aokiji using the Shave technique, swung his sword down.
A powerful, purplish-black slash, swirling with domineering energy, swept across Aokiji's body, which had turned to ice, yet it still failed to cause him any harm.
Logically speaking, even if the target is elementalized, as long as the attacker's attack carries Haki, the target will be hit and injured.
Aokiji should logically be no exception.
Ron's powerful slash should have been able to hurt him.
But the truth is that his attacks were useless against Aokiji.
