Chapter 81: The War Begins!
The hysterical roar of the Warring States period echoed throughout the entire Marineford sky.
However, he was met with an extremely cold voice.
"The Ice Age".
The words fell.
A figure moved so fast it was almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly appearing right in the center of the two towering tsunamis.
The highest combat force of the Navy Headquarters.
Admiral, Aokiji!
He pressed down with one hand, and a chilling aura spread wildly in all directions from him!
Click! Click click click—!
The massive waves, powerful enough to engulf islands and bury everything, were instantly frozen the moment they came into contact with the cold air!
It only took two or three seconds.
The two towering blue walls, which blocked out the sky, transformed into two enormous icebergs, frozen in mid-air.
Sunlight pierced through the ice, refracting an eerie glow that shrouded the entire battlefield in an icy blue shadow.
One hundred thousand sailors escaped death, and the whole stadium cheered.
"Oh my, what a crazy old man."
Aokiji scratched his head lazily, his gaze passing over the frozen tsunami and landing on the white-bearded man and Chenye at the bow of the Moby Dick.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay?"
Aokiji's attack was not over.
He raised his hand and waved it gently at the two of them.
"Ice Block - Two-Spiked Spear!"
In an instant, countless sharp spears made of solid ice, densely packed and overwhelming, shot towards Whitebeard and Chenye with a piercing shriek!
Each ice spear is enough to easily pierce through steel!
Faced with this sudden attack, Chen Ye didn't even lift his eyelids.
The white-bearded man didn't even move his body, only letting out a disdainful snort from his nose.
He didn't even use "Murakumogiri"; he simply raised his right hand casually and slammed it into the air in front of him!
Click!
The familiar sound of space shattering rang out.
An invisible shockwave spread out.
Those menacing ice spears, just a dozen meters from the bow of the ship, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall. The next second, crushed by the force of the shockwave, they were all reduced to dust!
"Gurala la la la..."
"Kid, is this level of attack just tickling me?"
The white-bearded man grinned and grasped the "Murakumo-giri" beside him.
He held the knife in one hand, and a visible white halo instantly condensed on his muscular arm!
He imbued the naginata with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit without reservation!
"Gurara la la... Take this!"
Without any unnecessary movements, the white-bearded man slashed down fiercely at the Aokiji in mid-air, hundreds of meters away!
Om-!
A white shockwave, visible to the naked eye, tore through the atmosphere like a crescent moon, slashing towards Aokiji at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound!
Aokiji's expression changed drastically!
He could feel the power contained in that strike!
He dared not be careless in the slightest, and his body instantly transformed into elements, turning into countless ice crystals in an attempt to evade.
However, the white-bearded man's attacks could even shatter space itself!
boom!!!
The space where Aokiji had been standing suddenly twisted violently, emitting a muffled, loud bang.
The elemental ice crystals were forcibly shattered by the terrifying force of the vibration and could not be reformed immediately.
"puff!"
With a muffled groan, Aokiji's figure re-formed on the sea surface not far away, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, before he fell into the sea in a disheveled state.
But he was, after all, a naval admiral.
This injury is nothing to him.
The moment he fell into the water, his hands pressed against the surface of the sea, and a chilling aura erupted once more!
Click click click click click!
Centered on him, the entire inner sea of Crescent Bay, which was originally turbulent, was completely frozen in just a few seconds!
A vast, boundless ice-covered land appeared between the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates.
A perfect land battlefield was created by the admiral himself.
Whitebeard let out a sneer as he looked at Aokiji's masterpiece.
"Gurarararar! Well done, Aokiji, you saved us the trouble of disembarking."
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard looked out over the ice field and let out a hearty laugh.
Then he raised the "Murakumogiri" in his hand high!
"My little ones!!"
The white-bearded man let out a deafening roar.
"Our family is right here!"
"Crush them!!"
"Rescue Ace!!!"
"Ooo ...
On the Moby Dick, and on dozens of pirate ships behind it, along with thousands of elite Whitebeard Pirates, a frenzied roar erupted simultaneously!
Led by Vista, the captains of the various squads took the lead, leaping off the ship and stepping onto the solid ice!
Following closely behind were countless great pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million!
Like tigers unleashed from their cages, they launched a desperate charge toward the execution platform in the distance!
"All personnel, prepare for battle!!"
On the execution platform, the Warring States marshal drew his sword and issued his first order since the start of the war.
"We must not let them get even a step closer to the execution platform!"
"For justice!!"
"kill--!!!"
One hundred thousand elite naval troops, led by their respective admirals, formed a tight formation and faced the charging pirates head-on!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The naval artillery positions behind the naval base began to roar, with countless shells piercing the sky and landing on the icy plain, exploding into bursts of fire.
Ding ding ding!
The sounds of clashing swords, shouts, and screams instantly resounded through the sky!
The war at the summit, which could overturn the world order, officially broke out at this moment!
. . . . .
Just as the battlefield descended into chaos.
Within the ranks of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The man carrying a huge black sword, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, slowly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Hawkeye Mihawk.
His gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield, locking onto the mountain-like figure at the bow of the Moby Dick.
"Fufufufu, Mihawk, what are you doing?"
Doflamingo, who was standing to the side, asked with a smile.
Hawkeye didn't answer, but muttered to himself:
"I just wanted to confirm..."
"The real distance between us and that man."
The words fell.
He slowly drew one of the twelve supreme swords from his back.
Black Blade - Night!
He held the knife in both hands and casually swung it at the distant Moby Dick!
There was no earth-shattering fanfare.
Only a single, extremely condensed green sword aura, like the smile of death, skimmed across the ice and slashed swiftly toward the location of the white-bearded man!
Wherever the sword energy passed, the thick ice layer was silently sliced open, leaving a terrifying, bottomless slash!
The speed of this slash was so fast that it exceeded the limits of human reaction!
"It's Hawkeye's slash!"
"Get out of the way!"
Someone in the Whitebeard Pirates exclaimed in surprise.
Third Division Captain "Diamond" Jozu roared, preparing to rush forward and use his indestructible diamond body to block the attack.
However, another figure was faster than him.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire world.
The black-haired young man, Chen Ye, who had been standing behind the white-bearded man, took a step forward.
He walked to the very front of the ship, alone, facing the world's number one slash, powerful enough to cleave icebergs and cleave giant ships in two!
"What is he going to do?!"
"Are you crazy?! That's Hawkeye's slash!"
"Get out of the way!"
Countless people gasped in disbelief.
Even the three great generals of the Warring States period, standing on the execution platform, turned their gazes toward them.
In a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh paused slightly in the hand holding his glass.
Under the spotlight.
Chen Ye raised his right hand.
A layer of top-tier Armament Haki, as black as ink, instantly covered his entire arm.
Immediately afterwards, strands of dazzling golden flames, like living fire dragons, coiled around his fist!
That was top-tier Haki obtained from Rayleigh, Whitebeard, and even a portion of Shanks!
That is the power belonging to the sun god Apollo!
Facing the oncoming green sword energy, Chen Ye's face remained expressionless.
He did not dodge.
He simply threw a punch in the face of that earth-shattering slash, nothing out of the ordinary.
boom--!!!
Golden divine fire and green sword energy collided violently in mid-air!
There was no violent explosion as expected.
There was no terrifying energy clash either.
Under everyone's gaze, as if they had seen a ghost.
That green slash, hailed as the world's strongest, crumbled like fragile glass the moment it touched Chen Ye's fist, which was engulfed in golden flames...
It crumbled to pieces!
Finally, it transformed into countless green specks of light and dissipated into the air.
One punch.
Just one punch.
The world's greatest swordsman's slash was shattered by a completely unknown young man with a single punch!
The entire battlefield seemed to have been paused.
Whether it was the navy engaged in fierce combat or the pirates charging madly, everyone's movements came to a standstill at this moment.
Doflamingo's maniacal laughter froze.
For the first time, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on Akainu's murderous face.
On the execution platform, the Warring States marshal's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.
For the first time, an undisguised glint appeared in Hawkeye Mihawk's usually calm and sharp eyes...
Shock!
