One Piece Talent System

Chapter 138 Ice Age

Kāchā! Kāchā!

Almost at the next moment, in front of Aokiji, a large number of ice spears emerged, smashing the void and running towards Ross and Laffitte.

Ross and others had been on guard for a long time, and at the moment Aokiji started, they made evasive moves one after another.

“I didn’t expect to meet a Marine Admiral here…”

Law took a deep breath and pulled out the demon knife. Even if the other party is a Marine Admiral, he would never easily fall here. He still had something to do!

Law’s movement is the slowest one. As early as his sword-drawing, Ross and Laffitte and others are already moving and counterattacking.

After avoiding Aokiji’s ice spear, Ross came to the top of Aokiji in a flash, with his right fingers folded into a fist as he punched him.

“…”

Aokiji raised his arm expressionlessly and waved his fist at Ross, but before his fist was up, a large number of arms suddenly appeared on his body, wrapping his body around.

Silently, Laffitte appeared behind Aokiji and the mahogany cane in his hand jerked through Aokiji’s chest.

Bang!

At the next moment, Ross’s fist slammed down on Aokiji’s body, Laffitte pulled out the stick and pulled back and Robin also dissipated her arms.

Under the power of distortion, Aokiji’s body instantly burst into a large amount of crushed ice, spilling down on the already frozen sea.

“Can you use Haki? Sure enough, you can’t be allowed to grow up anymore.

Kāchā! Kāchā!

The rapid condensation of ice once again gathered into the shape of Aokiji, who is unscathed!

Ross had a glimpse of something his heart. He had just punched him. He was completely motivated and almost unreserved and he still couldn’t hurt Aokiji. Aokiji used some way to avoid the damage!

Was it Kenbonshoku(Observation) which captured the action and he was able to elementalize his body in advance or did Haki offset the damage?

Whiz!

When Aokiji regained his form, he suddenly left his place at a very fast speed and it seemed as if he had vanished out of thin air.

In Ross’s memory, there are very few scenes that express Aokiji’s speed. One of the most impressive scenes is that Doflamingo’s fingers had fallen in the moment he tried to kill Smoker, but Aokiji had frozen them in the air.

Without doubt.

Aokiji is not as fast as Kizaru in terms of speed, but he is someone who stands at the top of this sea and he is far stronger than anyone else here, including Ross!

Almost instantly, Aokiji appeared behind Laffitte at a speed that even Ross’s Observation Haki could only capture!

Crash!

Aokiji raised his hand and pressed it on Laffitte’s back.

Laffitte’s face changed and he didn’t know what to do. He suddenly turned into cherry blossoms and broke up. When he appeared again, he came to Robin’s side.

He gasped violently, with a part of his back covered by a moraine-white frost, about the size of a palm, he apparently could not completely avoid it.

Aokiji did not stop but showed up much faster than anyone else in the area. He came to Robin’s side and turned his arm into an ice knife trying to cut Robin’s neck.

“ROOM!”

Law, who had not been able to respond before, finally responded by swiftly switching Robin’s and Ross’s positions.

Instead of Robin, Ross gave Aokiji a fierce punch.

Bang!

The ice knife collided with Ross’s Distortion Fist. After a stalemate for half a second, there was a dense crack in the ice and it finally burst apart.

However, Aokiji’s expression did not change at all and his tone was indifferent.

“Ice Age!”

Buzz!!

The bone-chilling cold spreads suddenly from under his feet and in an instant, it is shrouded in all directions. Its speed is so fast that even Ross can’t stop it.

Although the ice was contained by Ross’s power of distortion, the three people, Law, Laffitte, and Robin, were frozen into ice sculptures in a flash.

“Distortion, Sonic explosion!”

Ross shouted loudly and the sound, under the influence of the power of distortion, suddenly surged, turning into a hoarse sound that could almost pierce the eardrum and explode in Aokiji’s ear.

Aokiji didn’t expect Ross to have this kind of attack. Immediately, his ears heard the sound and his head appeared dizzy for a moment and then he was punched by Ross.

Bang!

When the punch fell, Aokiji was once again turned into numerous pieces of ice falling into the distance. When he was reassembled, a trace of blood appeared on his mouth and he gently wiped it off with the back of his hand.

“You are quite strong, I didn’t expect this.”

“…”

Ross looked at Aokiji, but his eyes were heavy.

Taking advantage of the sonic boom opportunity, he delivered a full powered punch, which was one of the concealed means he had envisioned to deal with an Admiral and he was able to successfully implement it but the punch only caused a little minor injury to the other side.

And Aokiji’s defense is very simple, that is Armament Haki, which is much better than Ross’s Armament Haki.

Even if it was due to the influence of the sound explosion, it did not form a hardening, but it also offset most of the damage. Afterward, the elementalization offset a part, so that the actual effect of Ross’s punch could not be achieved.

Kāchā! Kāchā!

Laffitte’s ice sculptures shook a few times and were broken from the inside. He eventually used some Armament Haki to not get frozen into popsicles from the inside out.

However, despite his break-out, his condition was very bad. His whole body was blue and he was in a state of severe frostbite.

“It seems that this time, our luck has run out, Captain.”

Laffitte’s mouth showed a bitter smile.

With one man’s power against their Ghost Hand Pirates, but it presented an overwhelming situation, this is Marine Admiral’s strength!

They crushed the power of Gekko Moria Pirates and destroyed them in an instant, without any ability to compete!

“You go first, if you can take them with you.”

Ross took a deep breath. If Laffitte’s Armament Haki could be stronger and resist some of Aokiji’s freezing power, he would be able to join him and fight against Aokiji.

If Robin’s Armament Haki can be stronger, she would not be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. Fortunately, she would eventually use a little to not get completely frozen inside and outside into an ice sculpture but only frozen outside, similar to Laffitte, but worse than Laffitte as she is unable to break out.

In Law’s case, Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit might have survived. As for Xilu, looking at the Ghost Shadow Ship, which has been frozen into an ice sculpture, he doesn’t have to guess the result.

Total defeat!

Neither Laffitte nor Rbion nor Law has the ability to work with him to deal with Aokiji. Although he can’t deal with him himself, he can run away from one if he is alone.

“Okay, Captain.”

Laffitte restrained his old grinning expression, and the whole person was unprecedented solemn. His figure glittered like a ghost as he reached Robin and Law’s position, they were taken together.

Aokiji breathed out a cold, He indifferently said with a frosty face: “I said, you dangerous people are better off dead here…”

Whiz!

Before the words were finished, Aokiji suddenly turned into a shadow as he charged towards Laffitte.

But almost immediately, Ross moved at the same time. Although he was slower than Aokiji, his action was eerily ahead of time, as if his Observation Haki had risen sharply, blocking Aokiji.

“Huh?”

Aokiji’s eyes flashed. Ross shouldn’t be able to react and act so accurately. He vaguely felt that Ross was a little different from before.

Bang!

Ross’s punch fell upon Aokiji’s ice fist and their punches collided in the air, the ice kept growing and being crushed and ultimately Aokiji’s strength was better as the spread of ice caused Ross to fly back.

Watching Laffitte disappear at the end of his line of sight, Aokiji’s eyes twinkle with cold and his figure rushes past in a flash. But it is at this moment that the frozen earth suddenly rolls up like a blanket, wrapping him in it in an instant.

Again, Aokiji didn’t expect this.

Having been hindered, he finally lost sight of Laffitte. Although his Observation Haki could still capture Laffitte’s position, it became more and more blurred as the distance increased between them.

“Forget it…”

Looking at the direction in which Laffitte fled, Aokiji shook his head and turned to look at Ross.

“You’re surprisingly calm to let your men run first.”

If Ross abandons Laffitte and others to escape by himself, Aokiji can defeat Laffitte in an instant and catch up immediately. There is no possibility of escape at all.

But to let Laffitte flee with Robin and Law first, he could not defeat Ross in an instant. He could only chase Laffitte first, but he was blocked by Ross twice in a row and couldn’t follow them.

In the present situation, if he goes after Laffitte, kills Laffitte and others and comes back, he may not find Ross.

Compared to other people.

Eliminating Ross has a higher priority.

“…”

Ross did not answer when he heard the Aokiji’s words. His eyes were calm and his entire body and mind were in a state of extream calm.

This state is called ‘Spirit Heart’.

It is a secondary talent on the Agility Enhancement branch of Talent System, similar to Tenacious, with the effect of… Enhance his focus to the maximum!

When concentration reaches its extreme, that is, calm to its extreme, Ross’s Kenbonshoku (Observation) has almost reached its limit, and his own reaction speed has been elevated to its extreme because of extreme concentration.

Although his body’s speed is much worse than that of Aokiji, Ross was able to block him twice depending on his current reaction speed and Observation Haki.

Other than that.

Killing Moria provided him with 50 Talent Proficiency Points, he put 30 points on the Distortion Fruit and 20 points on the Agility Enhancement. In this case, it is no longer possible to improve his physical fitness, only to maximize his speed and strength.

Even if his body cannot bear it, he must have at least some hard-working capital, so as to have the possibility of final survival.

The situation in front of him is the biggest crisis he has encountered since he came to this world!
