Chapter 83

A stick suddenly appeared above Aokiji's head, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly.

At this time, it was too late for him to transform into an element, so he could only cross his arms with his Armament Haki and cross them above his head.

"Bang!"

A dull sound came, and the ground where Aokiji stood was cracked like a spider web with him as the center.

The entire ground was sunken more than one meter under the impact of this blow.

"Cough…"

Aokiji couldn't help coughing, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Xia Chen above his head with a puzzled face.

"Aren't you frozen?"

"Who told you I was frozen? Use your Observation Haki to sense what's in the ice cube?"

"Huh?" Aokiji was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but release his Observation Haki to sense the frozen Xia Chen.

After a few breaths, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"You are… a clone?"

In his careful perception, Xia Chen in the ice has a strange breath. If he had to describe it, it would be that he lacks the breath of life.

But this detail cannot be discovered if you don't perceive it carefully, which is why he didn't find it just now.

"Bingo, correct answer!"

Xia Chen snapped his fingers, and then Xia Chen in the ice began to disappear, and then instantly appeared next to him.

For his clone, Xia Chen can directly recall and summon it, and even if the clone is fatally injured, he only needs to retract it and release it again to full status.

This is why Xia Chen thought it was a magical skill when he saw this skill.

The only problem is that every time you summon a clone, you need to consume a certain amount of physical strength, and the clone summoned is also summoned according to his current state.

"Is this the ability of your devil fruit? What kind of fruit do you have?"

"It is the ability of the devil fruit, yes, as for what devil fruit it is, it is not convenient to reveal!" Xia Chen replied lightly.

He would explain all the abilities that appeared on him as the abilities of the devil fruit, otherwise it would be impossible to explain clearly.

"Is Portgas D. Ace also a clone?"

"Oh, that's not the case, he is really frozen!"

Xia Chen walked to Ace's ice sculpture and punched the ice sculpture in front of him with a punch wrapped in Ryuo Haki.

There is no way, this ice is hard, you have to use some force!

Xia Chen punched several times in a row. When the first few punches were thrown, the ice sculpture did not change at all, and not even a bit of ice was knocked off.

And when Xia Chen threw the last punch, the entire ice sculpture disintegrated instantly, revealing Ace inside.

Seeing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Fortunately, he punched in the advanced Armament Haki this time and mastered Ryuo, otherwise he really couldn't do anything with this ice.

After coming out, Ace moved his hands and feet. Although he was not frozen for a long time, the biting cold at that moment still made him a little uncomfortable.

Ace leaned close to Xia Chen's ear and whispered to him: "Luffy and the others have almost escaped now. I think we should run away depending on the situation. We can't beat them!"

Ace still has a clear understanding of his own strength. If he wants to stop the admiral for a short time, he can do it.

But if he wants to stop for a long time, it is definitely impossible, so Ace has already thought about running away, otherwise if he runs out of energy, he will have no way to run.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you discuss this in front of me so openly?" Aokiji said dissatisfiedly.

"Huh?" Ace was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then subconsciously said: "Didn't I lean over to his ear and say it?"

Aokiji said a little speechlessly: "We are less than ten meters apart. No matter how soft you speak, I can hear it with my observation color…"

"(⊙o⊙)…"

"Forgot, damn it!" Ace shouted while covering his head.

Seeing this scene, Xia Chen didn't want to say anything anymore. You mock Luffy as a fool every day, but aren't you also a fool sometimes?

But it's indeed much better than Luffy!

At this moment, Aokiji said: "What you said really woke me up. If you want to leave, I may not be able to stop you. In this case…"

"Ice Age!"

Hearing this familiar voice, the two subconsciously flew towards the sky, but Aokiji's goal this time was not to freeze them.

I saw that the ice began to rise from the ground when it spread out more than a thousand meters, and then formed a huge cover that wrapped them all in.

This huge movement instantly attracted everyone's attention, including Luffy and others who escaped.

"What…what is that?"Sanji asked in shock.

A huge ice cover appeared in front of them. From their perspective, it even seemed to wrap the entire city.

Luffy couldn't help but shout anxiously at this scene: "Xia Chen, Ace!"

Then he turned back immediately, but he was kicked away by Sanji after just a few steps.

Sanji looked at him unkindly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to go back to save Xia Chen and the others!"

"Do you think you can save them if you go back? They finally let us escape, and if you go now, all their efforts will be in vain!"

"Do you know what the headquarters admiral means? Even Xia Chen told us to escape first when dealing with such an opponent, and you know the difference in strength between Xia Chen and us. You will die if you go back!"

Sanji said everything he wanted to say and scolded Luffy.

If possible, do they want to abandon Xia Chen and escape first?

It was because they knew that they were a burden to Xia Chen, so they left decisively and did not add burden to Xia Chen.

After listening to Sanji's words, Luffy sat there in silence for a long time, and stood up after a while and said: "Let's go, let's get on the boat and run!"

…

At this time, Xia Chen's side.

Xia Chen and Ace both showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

From their perspective at this time, the outside is completely a mosaic.

Even the sun in the sky feels like a light bulb in their eyes at this time.

Looking at this scene, Xia Chen's face darkened and he looked at Ace unkindly.

It's all because he said it so loudly just now, otherwise Aokiji would not have made such a big ice cover to prevent them from escaping.

Feeling Xia Chen's gaze, Ace turned his head away embarrassedly.

This wave is indeed his problem!

But it's useless to say these now, how to escape is a problem.

And now there is a problem in front of them, that is, because they are in this huge ice cover, the air cannot penetrate at all.

So it means that the oxygen is used a little bit less.

Speaking of this, Xia Chen always feels that he has forgotten something.

What is it…

Xia Chen tried to think, until he felt the heat coming from his side, he suddenly reacted.

He hurriedly shouted: "No!"

"Great Flame Ring•Yan Emperor!"
