"This… what is this again?" Robin stared blankly at the scene, as if seeing a new world.
Shadow Fiend chuckled softly. "She is an ice dragon from the Undead Legion under Lich King. She's barely a combatant, not worth mentioning."
Not worth mentioning?!
Robin's mind went blank.
...
Roar!
The Ice Dragon Queen's roar instantly transformed the ice power into a blizzard impact, sweeping across half the sky.
The two ice spears Aokiji had launched in a surprise attack were destroyed by an even stronger force before they could even get close, and he himself was instantly engulfed by this power.
"Lich King…!"
Aokiji's gaze sharpened. His entire body fell from the sky, rapidly landing on the stone ground outside the shipyard. With a snap, he shattered into a pile of ice fragments.
But in the next moment, the fragments on the ground made a crackling sound and reformed into a human shape~.
Hurried footsteps could be heard. Behind Aokiji, a large group of Marines, led by a Captain, quickly arrived.
Then, hundreds of gun muzzles were simultaneously aimed at Vladimir and his group.
"Phantom Pirate Group!" the Captain's face was grim. "Hand over Tom!"
Just an hour ago, a direct order from Fleet Admiral Sengoku of Marine Headquarters had instructed them to arrest the Tom family immediately.
However, as soon as they began their operation, capturing Tom's two apprentices and a mermaid, they discovered Tom had disappeared.
After a search, they found this place, only to discover that the Phantom Pirate Group had moved faster than them!
Hearing his words, Vladimir couldn't be bothered and gave Robin a meaningful look.
Robin, being the intelligent woman she was, immediately used her Hana Hana no Mi ability to capture Tom, who was not far away.
Seeing this, Admiral Aokiji scratched his head and stared at Robin's demon mask for a long time before saying, "I truly didn't expect you to join the Phantom Organization."
Hearing this, Nico Robin fell silent.
When she was young, precisely at the age of 8, she had met Aokiji. At that time, Aokiji was still a Vice Admiral.
In her hometown, during the Ohara tragedy, one of the reasons she was able to escape was that Aokiji, who was then Vice Admiral, had deliberately held back.
Ten years later, meeting Aokiji again, Robin couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
Seeing that lazy face always reminded her of that nightmarish day.
Her entire homeland of archaeology, the learned historical scholars on the island, and her mother had all died during the Buster Call, and the island had been reduced to ashes.
Even now, it remained a ruin.
As if sensing Robin's emotions, Aokiji maintained his lazy expression and said calmly, "Since you are now with the Phantom Organization, I will no longer pursue you. However, I must ask you to hand over Tom."
Vladimir raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Tom, you see? The Navy has made its move. Do you think you can still protect the blueprint? You might want to take the blueprint to your grave, but your two apprentices will suffer greatly."
"I don't have what you want!" Tom closed his eyes, knowing he couldn't escape, so he sat down on the ground.
"Stubborn."
Aokiji snorted, then looked at the Lich King. "Are you going to stop us? Don't forget the agreement between your Phantom Organization and the Navy."
A while ago, during the Cake Island battle, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Archangel of the Phantom Organization had reached a verbal agreement.
The Phantom Organization would not sell intelligence about Ancient Weapons to others. In return, the Navy would provide one Devil Fruit per month as hush money.
~:灬"Agreement? Have we violated the agreement?"1彡
·
A deep voice emanated from beneath the Lich King's helmet. "Aokiji, don't slander our reputation."
"Hah…"
Aokiji sighed. "Although I don't know why you are doing this, or why you suddenly recruited the 'Child of the Devil' into your pirate crew, the same question arises for the World Government: why did they suddenly issue a 3 billion bounty wanted poster for your captain? But none of that is important. I am a soldier and I obey my superior's orders. Today, I must arrest Tom!"
Saying this, Aokiji waved his hand. "Open fire."
Bang bang bang!
Bullets rained down.
Not only bullets but also special shoulder-mounted cannons. When the cannons fired, they unleashed large nets. These nets contained the power of Seastone.
This scene made Robin's heart tighten.
Just then, a dragon's roar sounded.
The Ice Dragon Queen descended from the sky, landing directly in front of the dilapidated shipyard. With a shake of her wings, she stirred up massive waves.
Countless bullets rained down on her wings, all blocked.
"Human! You seek death!"
Roaring in anger, the Ice Dragon Queen let out another roar.
Ice Dragon's Breath.
Extreme cold ice power, shining with a crystal blue hue, formed an impact that instantly swept towards hundreds of Marines.
"Ice Wall!"
Aokiji remained unfazed. With a wave of his hand, a massive ice wall rose, easily blocking the attack.
Before the Ice Dragon Queen could retract her power, the ice wall shattered in the next moment, and Aokiji's figure flashed forward like lightning.
"What kind of strange creature are you, and why can you control the elements?"
Whispering, Aokiji raised both hands, clenched the void, and an ice figure suddenly materialized.
In the next moment, Haki covered it, dyeing it black.
"What I am is not important. You should stop blocking the way!"
