"You mere human…!"
The Ice Dragon Queen roared in anger, opening her dragon maw to meet the opponent's blade and letting out a roar.
Roar!!
Amidst the roar, the two ice powers collided, instantly stirring up thick cold air, as if the entire space had been frozen.
Water vapor condensed, creating a dense fog.
Vladimir narrowed his eyes and watched calmly. He saw the Ice Dragon Queen's body gradually freezing within the cold mist, half of it already encased in ice.
"Hehehehe… Using ice-freezing abilities to deal with an ice dragon?" Vladimir chuckled softly. "Aokiji, you've exhausted your tricks."
"That's not necessarily true. Thanks to you, I've also grown. In terms of ice-freezing abilities, I clearly surpass your dragon."
Aokiji wielded the ice blade in his hand and strode towards Vladimir. "Lich King, you killed Azure Python in the deep-sea prison. We can settle that score now."
Hearing this, Vladimir couldn't help but laugh heartily. "You were wondering why the government issued a bounty on our captain, weren't you? Let me tell you, Emperor Qin went to the Holy Land and captured one of your Five Elders. They were pushed to their limit, so they dropped all pretense and ordered Sengoku to eagerly issue commands to you, wanting to obtain the blueprints as quickly as possible."
Saying this, he didn't bother with Aokiji's shocked expression and continued speaking to himself. "Of course, whatever the Five Elders want to do, we want to disrupt."
Hearing this, Aokiji's expression became uncertain. "Although I knew you were a bunch of lunatics, I didn't expect you to be this insane!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Vladimir laughed heartily and slowly raised his right hand. "I am the Earth Master, Lich King. Aokiji, you are no match for me. I'll give you a chance: defect from the Navy, how about it? You pursue justice, but are you truly acting justly by serving the Five Elders?"
Aokiji took a deep breath, his gaze cold. "At least, what you are doing is definitely not justice!"
"Is that so? What a pity."
Vladimir shrugged indifferently and chanted softly.
"Appear, my allies!"
His armor radiated a divine blue light, and the power of his soul swirled like a vortex. Countless soul powers differentiated into individual streams, scattering onto the ground before him like raindrops.
Instantly, lights flashed, and black skeletons rose to their feet.
Undead knights, astride skeletal warhorses, appeared, holding lances.
Abominations and gargoyles let out roars.
After so much time, the Lich King had accumulated a vast amount of soul power. Although it wasn't enough to support an army of millions, it was sufficient to summon several thousand undead.
At this moment, a terrifying undead army materialized in an extremely short period.
"Undead… Legion!"
Aokiji's face changed drastically. He immediately thought of Sea Dragon's sea beast legion.
The Lich King swung his right hand down, and Frostmourne suddenly appeared.
"My sword points to your enemies. Undead Legion… Annihilate them!"
...
"My sword points to your enemies!"
Frostmourne pointed towards Aokiji and the others. Vladimir gave a loud command: "Undead Legion… Annihilate them!"
Skeletal soldiers with black bones, carrying bone blades, launched a death charge towards the Marines.
They were tireless, fearless of death, and diligently carried out their orders.
Several Death Knights, holding lances and mounted on warhorses, also adjusted their stances and advanced towards Admiral Aokiji.
Moving in unison were several Abominations and Gargoyles.
In an instant, the scene descended into chaos.
Compared to the undead legion's fearless charge, the Marines were at a disadvantage in terms of morale.
Under the Captain's command, the Marines simply pulled their triggers, unleashing a hail of bullets.
But this level of attack was like a tickle to the elite skeletal soldiers; it was useless.
"Use high-power weapons! Blast them into dust in one go, otherwise, they will revive indefinitely!" the Captain shouted, drawing the weapon at his waist and charging towards an Abomination.
His weapon was a club carved from Seastone, exquisite and powerful. Especially when covered in Armament Haki, each blow of this club could shatter a skeletal soldier into a pile of bone fragments.
However, even so, facing the vast sea of skeletal soldiers, his strength was futile.
Roar!
Suddenly, an Abomination roared. Entangled in chains and wielding a great axe, it strode rapidly towards the Captain and swung its axe towards the officer's head.
"Monster!"
The Captain was prepared. He shattered a skeletal soldier with a blow and then swung his club to meet the great axe.
Dong!!
The great axe struck the club. The Captain's expression changed slightly. He felt his arm go numb, and the weapon almost slipped from his grasp.
"Such strength… purely brute force!"
Internally astonished, the Captain suddenly parried the Abomination's axe and then, with agile movements, struck the Abomination's belly with his club.
Bang!
A dull thud. The Abomination's belly caved in, splitting open in the center, revealing its horrifying entrails.
However, in the next moment, with a snap, the Abomination actually grabbed the Seastone iron rod with one hand and yanked hard. Simultaneously, it lifted a leg and kicked the Captain fiercely.
"What!?"
The Captain's face was shocked. He instinctively tensed his body: "Iron Body!"
Bang!
Another dull thud. The Captain, like a rubber ball, was kicked dozens of meters away.
Similar scenes were happening all around. Marine Captains and several Majors could still contend with the high-ranking troops of the undead legion, maintaining an advantage with cautious defense.
