At the top of the Enies Lobby courthouse,
Lucci's eyes widened, looking at the mess below! The entire main island had been reduced to ruins, with only the courthouse beneath his feet and the Tower of Justice across the waterfall remaining!
'What terrifying power!' Lucci stood stunned for a moment, then the next second,
"Swish—swish—swish!"
The courthouse floor was sliced open like paper, and several fierce slashes attacked Lucci!
"Tempest Kick!"
Lucci kicked out, and a white air blade cut through the sky, colliding with the slashes!
Both dissipated simultaneously, but the heavy force echoed in the air!
At this moment, a dark figure flashed out and kicked Lucci!
Lucci had no choice but to block with his hand,
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking suddenly came from Lucci's arm, then an air ring formed, and Lucci was kicked away, falling towards the waterfall!
In a moment of crisis, Lucci stomped hard on the air, taking several steps to fly up to the Tower of Justice!
On Enies Lobby, CP9 stood in a row, looking at the Straw Hat across from them with surprise and fear in their eyes!
"Lucci, are you alright?" Kaku stepped forward to ask.
"I'm fine!" Lucci placed his right hand on his left shoulder, his tone calm.
"To think there are so many pirates!" Spandam was so scared that his face lost control, and he roared.
"What exactly do you want to do here? Do you know where this is?"
On the other side, Sanji slowly retracted his leg!
"We're here to rescue our companion! Hand Franky over to us!"
"Really? You're here to save me? That's... so touching!" Franky, on the opposite side, shed tears. "But what's this 'companion' thing?"
"Oh! Our Captain has already decided he wants you to join the crew, so it's up to you if you want to live!" Zoro crossed his arms; he needed a definite answer!
"Huh?" Franky on the other side was confused!
Spandam, however, trembled all over, laughing in extreme anger, "Do you know what you're doing? This... is the World Government's central hub. Cutty Flam... is someone the World Government will take away at any cost!
Are you... are you going to oppose the entire world?"
Spandam raised his finger high, and the World Government flag hung proudly above the Tower of Justice, having stood in the world for 800 years!
Above the courthouse,
Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth, his face grim; Zoro showed a cold smile, his hand on the hilt of his sword!
"Usopp, burn it... burn it down!" Two voices came at the same time!
Without hesitation, a spark shot through the World Government flag, burning like a single flame, and the unyielding flag instantly turned to ash!
"Madmen, truly madmen!" Spandam stared blankly at the burning flag, then took out a golden den den mushi and pressed it hard!
"Chirp—"
Ten sharp blue slashes cut through the sky!
"Tempest Kick - Ran!"
"Tempest Kick - Shudan!"
Lucci and Kaku attacked simultaneously, slashes and air blades flying wildly, the entire Enies Lobby covered in sword marks, teetering on the brink of collapse!
Zoro bent slightly, then pushed off, swinging his two swords behind his shoulders,
"Extreme - Tiger Hunt!"
Like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, the blue sword energy transformed into a giant tiger, and his two swords became sharp teeth, heavily striking towards the Tower of Justice!
"Quick, hurry! Lucci, protect me!" Spandam was terrified, grabbing the chains that bound Franky, and quickly headed towards the Gates of Justice!
Kaku and Blueno bravely met him,
Kaku transformed into his giraffe-human beast form, wielding two swords!
Blueno leaped in front of Kaku, placing his chest before Zoro, "Iron Body!"
Zoro was startled, "Interesting!"
The two swords slashed down hard, blood splattered across the sky, and he lost consciousness, heavily crashing onto Enies Lobby!
Kaku advanced with his sword,
"Get down!" Zoro's sword glowed blue and hummed, as he swung it!
The blue slash carried Kaku back to the Tower of Justice!
Zoro landed, and of the CP9 present, only Kaku and Jabra remained!
Looking at the two who were on high alert, Zoro narrowed his eyes, "Just you two!"
On the other side, Sanji, Robin, and Nami arrived next to Zoro using Moonwalk, while Chopper bounced over directly using his Jump Point.
"Why? Why can you all use Moonwalk?" The two were a bit mentally broken.
"Moonwalk? Anyone can do that!" Nami's face showed disdain!
"Anyway, they're mine!" Zoro leaned against the wall, even closing his eyes.
"Then I'll go find Lucci!" Sanji said calmly, "I just need to wait at the Gates of Justice, right!"
Sanji stomped on the air, creating rings of air, flying like an arrow towards the massive Gates of Justice!
The Straw Hat members left one by one, searching for their opponents!
Kaku and Jabra on the opposite side didn't dare to move an inch!
...Dozens of miles from Enies Lobby, on the sea,
The place was like an icy purgatory!
Luffy effortlessly lay through the dense ice chains at extreme speed,
He stretched out his hand, and blue light, as brilliant as a galaxy, gathered, and the ultimate lightning formed a long handle,
His muscles bulged, he stepped on thin air, and heavily flung the lightning spear!
"Lightning Flash!"
The lightning spear collided with the ice chains, grinding them away destructively, and the extreme electric light blasted towards the tiny figure on the ice continent!
"Boom!"
The ice surface shattered, and a giant crater was blasted into the calm sea, causing turbulent waves and hundred-meter-high surges!
However, the next moment, a pure white swept across the waves, and everything as far as the eye could see turned to ice and snow!
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji appeared unharmed, and with a wave of his hand!
"Ice Block - Partisan!"
Two long spears made of ice and snow flew over, and wherever they passed, the air froze!
Luffy dodged quickly, and the ice spears also changed direction!
In the sky, a blue light flashed and disappeared, as a punch attacked Aokiji!
Aokiji, however, grabbed Luffy's arm with both hands, and instantly, ice and snow froze!
Armament Haki and lightning swept powerfully, and Aokiji was blasted back! A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
As for Luffy, his entire right arm was frozen, but the next second it was as good as new!
"Arara! You're getting stronger and stronger, Monkey D. Luffy!" Aokiji transformed into a white light and rushed towards Luffy,
Luffy's expression changed, not because he was too strong, but because he wasn't strong enough; Aokiji... was holding back again!
In the sky, white and blue collided, thunder and ice intertwined tightly, clashing! Within a ten-mile radius, the weather changed!
"Ding, mission issued: Pirate VS Marine
Please engage Aokiji for one hour and survive!
Reward: Advanced Marine Six Powers (Perfected)"
Luffy was stunned, what the heck!
However, this time it seemed there was an opportunity!
"Aokiji, why did you give the golden den den mushi to CP9!" After a collision, Luffy asked!
Aokiji's glasses suddenly emitted a cold light, "As the only person in the world capable of awakening an Ancient Weapon, her existence itself is a sin!"
"How can existence itself be a sin?" Luffy lowered his head, "She just wants to live; there's nothing wrong with existence itself!"
Dark red Haoshoku intertwined densely in the air, accompanied by Luffy's anger!
Aokiji was stunned for a moment, and the next instant, a lightning-flashing fist heavily struck him!
Aokiji fell heavily onto the ice, a pain surging in his heart!
He didn't get up, but stared blankly at the sky, his thoughts wandering,
He seemed to see the burning island, saw the Marine's cannon fire directed at the innocent evacuation ship, and saw Vice Admiral Saul protecting that girl even if he had to 'sacrifice' himself!
"Is this the justice of the Marines?" This sentence from Saul made Aokiji let Robin go, and also turned 'Burning Justice' into 'Lazy Justice'!
Looking at the dazed Aokiji, Luffy didn't attack again. This Admiral never intended to kill him, so he naturally couldn't kick him while he was down!
Finally, Aokiji slowly stood up, exhaling cold air, "Continue, young man! Otherwise, it won't look good for me!"
The collision of ice and thunder did not stop!
