133 Poor Aokiji

"Guurarara~"

"Aokiji kid, the current situation is not something you can control."

Whitebeard laughed.

He never thought of killing Zephyr.

No matter what, Zephyr was someone who came from the same era as him, and the two of them have fought countless time, so Whitebeard consider Zephyr as his old friend

But... 

It's up to him whether or not to forgive the other person, and it is him who makes the decision!

Not because of Aokiji's request or interference!

He raised his fist and struck the air fiercely.

Boom!

There was a loud sound as the air cracked.

Terrifying vibrations spread, surging toward Aokiji like a mountain torrent.

"Not good!" 

Aokiji face turned pale. He didn't expect Whitebeard to be so decisive.

Without even thinking much, Aokiji grabbed Zephyr and quickly backed away.

But the vibration wave kept on coming.

No matter how hard he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid it.

"Ice Age!" 

At that moment, Aokiji raised his arm trying to block the vibration wave.

With a powerful push of both arms, the moisture in the air froze instantly, and a frosty spray shot towards Whitebeard through the air.

At the same time, an ice wall was formed in front of him.

The ice wall was incredibly thick, several meters wide, resembling a massive shield. It appeared to be his defense against Whitebeard's attack.

Boom!

The ice and vibration waves collided, causing a deafening explosion to erupt.

Then, under the horrified eyes of people, the ice shield produced cracks, and it was about to shatter.

"Be careful!" 

Zephyr shouted from behind.

Aokiji frowned and strengthened his power even more.

The intense frost surged forth, freezing the ice shield, cracks and all, seemingly effective blocking Whitebeard's strike.

But after blocking the blow, his face turned slightly pale.

Let's not forget, Aokiji was already injured.

He had just fought with Weevil earlier.

In this situation, it's already quite impressive to have intercepted Whitebeard's full strike.

"Guurarara~"

"Aokiji kid, let's see how long you can stay arrogant!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly.

He raised his fist once more and resumed his attack.

Boom!

This attack was even more frightening.

Powerful vibration emanated from his body and surged forward.

The ground exploded and turned into small fragments that continued to scatter around.

Massive ice shield in front of Aokiji shattered under the force of this punch!

The shockwave's power spread and immediately blasted Aokiji's body.

Boom!

His feet could no longer grip the ground, and his body shot forward like a cannonball.

With a loud crash, he slammed into the house, crushing the entire structure and sending clouds of dust into the air.

"How can this be?!" 

Zephyr yelled loudly, his eyes filled with shock.

He was shocked once more.

Whitebeard's terrifying power had once again exceeded his imagination.

He had initially believed that earlier he might have been losing because of his old age.

However, it was only after witnessing Aokiji being blown away by Whitebeard that he realized that his defeat wasn't solely due to his old age and declining strength

It was primarily because the current Whitebeard was even stronger than before!

"Ughh~"

A low groan filled the air, catching everyone's attention.

Aokiji, who had been sent flying, climbed out from the pile of rocks. He then braced himself with both hands on the ground, spitting out crimson blood from his mouth.

He was seriously injured because of the fight with Akainu.

Now, after taking such a heavy blow, his body had reached its limit.

"Arrgh~"

Aokiji gasped for breath, cold sweat steadily trickling down his face.

"Guurarara~"

"Aokiji, if you want to make it through this, you've got to fight back with all you've got!"

Whitebeard said with a calm smile.

He came here with the purpose of resolving the unstable factor.

For Aokiji,

It's either join in or get killed!

Either way, it must be defeated to get the job done.

After saying this, he made another move.

Fwooosh!

His tall figure moved forward like lightning, closing the distance to Aokiji in an instant.

His fist was cloaked in Armament Haki as he struck hard at his opponent.

"So fast!" 

Behind his little black sunglasses, Aokiji eyes narrowed into needle-like slits.

He immediately gritted his teeth against the pain and got back on his feet, raising his fist to fight. 

His fist, covered in an ice glove, punched back.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening noises continued to reverberate.

Whitebeard and Aokiji engaged in close combat together.

The invisible airwaves were created, causing everyone watching to raise their arms to shield themselves.

Boom!

It was another exchange of punches.

Both figures were pushed back at the same time.

Whitebeard was fine, but Aokiji's face grew even paler.

"Guurarara~"

Whitebeard laughed heartily as his right foot pounded the ground, and his tall figure shot forward like lightning.

Once again, he reached Aokiji in the blink of an eye.

"Ahem~"

Aokiji, injured, coughed, but upon seeing Whitebeard launching another attack, he had no choice but to raise his arm to defend himself.

Boom!

A resounding crack exploded.

The vibration power spread and surged all around.

"Whitebeard, there's no need for us to fight!" 

Aokiji shouted, struggling to keep from spitting out blood.

But his words were greeted with a punch.

Boom!

Whitebeard delivered a powerful punch into the air.

Cracks emerged one after the other, and the intense vibration burst forth, striking Aokiji.

"Oh shit!" 

Aokiji crossed his arms, attempting to bear the impact.

But the power of the vibration was beyond imagination, and it blasted him out directly.

His tall figure pierced through the wall and crashed to the ground, creating a large crater upon impact.

"That Aokiji guy, does he really believe he can be Old Whitebeard opponent?"

Crocodile sneered with a cigar in his mouth.

If this were before, Aokiji, at his peak, might have been able to hold his own against Whitebeard for a round or two.

But the other side had recently fought for the position of Marine Fleet Admiral and suffered heavy losses.

Later, he engaged in another fight with Weevil, and his body and stamina were pushed to the limit.

Now, if he wants to defeat Whitebeard, it's nothing more than a dream.

"Aokiji knew he wasn't Pops match, and Pops didn't even use his full strength" 

Marco chuckled.

As the person who had been by Whitebeard's side the longest,

He already knew what his father's purpose was.

"Oh?"

The crew members looked at each other.

If they didn't understand, they could only continue watching the battle.

At this point, Aokiji had already risen to his feet.

With a pale face, he gritted his teeth through the pain and unleashed an extreme Frost.

Click, click, click~

The ice expanded, freezing the ground.

But

Aokiji hasn't finish his move

Whitebeard raised his arm and delivered a sidelong punch into the air.

Boom!

The force of vibration spreads.

The ground was easily crushed, and then it hit Aokiji forcefully.

Aokiji, who had just stood up, was sent flying once more, and this time he was completely knocked down!
