On the other side, Aokiji, with an angry expression, instructed, "A merchant ship of unknown origin actually dares to attack a warship. The other party must be pirates. Attack. Sink them."
In the world, there were probably very few people who dared to openly attack a Navy warship other than pirates.
However, no matter who it was, Aokiji wouldn't be polite at all. He directly ordered an attack.
Receiving Aokiji's order, those Navy soldiers naturally wouldn't be negligent. They immediately prepared to take action.
However, just as they were preparing to fire, a loud shout suddenly came from the opposite side with the wind.
"Is the Navy on the other side Aokiji?"
Hearing this loud shout, Aokiji's expression froze. He couldn't help but call out to pause.
Since the person on the other side could say his identity in one breath, it meant that they must be acquainted with him. Since they were acquainted, then he wouldn't rush to attack.
Aokiji shouted, "Who are you?"
Akira had Rambo stop the attack, and also had Jeffrey White stop moving forward. He walked to the deck alone, and said loudly, "Admiral Aokiji is truly a forgetful person. Don't you even recognize an old friend?"
Aokiji looked towards the ship where Akira was. As soon as he looked, his pupils instantly contracted. He said with a condensed voice, "It's you! Edward D. Akira Stone!"
Akira laughed, and said, "That's right, it's me."
Aokiji's eyes became sharp. He said in a low voice, "It's really like searching far and wide for something, only to find it right in front of you. Sakazuki and Borsalino joining forces couldn't catch him. I didn't expect to encounter him here."
Akira was a wanted target of the Navy, and he was also ranked at the top. So when Aokiji saw him, he only had one choice, and that was to fight.
Aokiji suddenly jumped off the ship. The moment his feet landed on the surface of the sea, the surface of the sea immediately froze.
It spread rapidly with him as the center. In just a few seconds, the entire surface of the sea was frozen. The warship and Akira's merchant ship were all unable to move even half an inch.
Aokiji wanted to catch Akira. Akira also naturally wanted to seize Aokiji's blood. So when he saw Aokiji's actions, he not only wasn't afraid, but instead revealed an expression of excitement.
He had done so many things before in order to imprint Aokiji, but he had never succeeded.
This situation made Akira want to give up, and prepare to go to the North Blue to find Doflamingo.
But now, the situation had truly taken a turn for the better. He had actually encountered Aokiji by chance. He naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Akira was happy, but Jeffrey White had a face full of depression. He had never expected that he would just randomly encounter a warship, and it would actually be Navy Admiral Aokiji's warship.
He knew very well that Akira had always wanted to find Aokiji. Now that Aokiji had appeared, Akira definitely wouldn't leave.
However, Navy Admirals were too strong. Jeffrey White knew that even if he and Akira joined forces, they definitely wouldn't be a match. What was even worse was that they had encountered Aokiji. With Aokiji here, their ship could be considered ruined.
"White, Rambo, be careful. I'm going to meet Aokiji. After I get what I want, I'll immediately take you away flying."
Akira said to Jeffrey White and Rambo, and then jumped off the ship excitedly, and landed on Aokiji's ice.
"Oh? You're not running?"
Aokiji was a bit surprised to see Akira actually jump to his opposite side. He had heard that Akira had chosen to run away at the first time after encountering Akainu and Kizaru.
Why was he not running after encountering him instead? Did he think that he was not as good as Akainu and Kizaru?
Also, why had Akira specifically named him to chase after him before? Could it also be this meaning?
Thinking of this, even Aokiji, who had a calm personality, revealed a hint of unhappiness. He felt that he seemed to have been looked down upon.
Aokiji didn't know Akira's mood at this time. He had only encountered Aokiji with such difficulty.
He had already made up his mind that he had to get Aokiji's blood this time, even if he had to risk a serious injury.
In the world of martial arts, speed is invincible!
Akira didn't prepare to fight Aokiji to the death. He just needed to get Aokiji's blood as quickly as possible, and then leave with Jeffrey White and his son. So he had to use the fastest speed.
"Zangetsu!"
Akira directly drew Zangetsu, and then quickly performed Bankai, turning into a Soul Reaper uniform, and holding Tensa Zangetsu.
Aokiji had fought Akira many times several years ago. So after Akira turned into this appearance, he immediately knew the characteristics of Tensa Zangetsu, and also concentrated his attention.
Suddenly, Akira and Aokiji moved at the same time. On the ice surface, Aokiji's speed was simply fast to the extreme.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed a distance of several dozen meters. Akira was also at his limit under the blessing of Tensa Zangetsu.
The two of them had almost turned into afterimages, and rushed to the center position of the two of them at the fastest speed.
"Ice Block 'Partridge Beak'."
He only saw Aokiji gather cold air on his right arm, and release a huge ice bird. Following his speed, it crashed towards Akira with extremely fast and extremely strong power.
A cold chill was emitted wherever it went.
Facing such a terrifying attack, Akira didn't have any fear. He directly held Tensa Zangetsu, and crashed over. The tip of the sword was aimed directly at the ice bird's head.
"Crack crack!"
The blade of Tensa Zangetsu pierced in. However, the ice bird's chill didn't decrease at all. Instead, it caused the blade of Tensa Zangetsu that had pierced in to slowly freeze.
Following the handle, Akira's arm, and body, were also slowly frozen. When the ice bird disappeared, only an ice sculpture was left in place.
The one frozen in the ice sculpture was Akira, and the posture was still the same as before.
Seeing that Akira had been frozen by him, Aokiji prepared to go over and capture him. However, his expression changed after he had only taken two steps.
He quickly stopped, because the ice sculpture that had frozen Akira was actually slowly cracking. In the end, it exploded with a 'bang,' and ice shards splattered everywhere.
Akira rushed out from the ice sculpture.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Akira, who had rushed out of the ice sculpture, directly slashed out with his sword.
Because Aokiji hadn't expected Akira to break his ice so quickly, he didn't have time to dodge when the Getsuga Tensho blade aura came. He was immediately hit.
"Crack bang!"
However, although the blade aura had hit Aokiji, Aokiji had elementalized his body at the last moment, turning into a pair of broken ice.
Then, those broken ice quickly condensed again, and turned back into Aokiji.
"It didn't succeed?"
A trace of haze flashed in Akira's eyes when he saw the unharmed Aokiji. He had deliberately let Aokiji freeze him just now, and then attack unexpectedly after Aokiji approached.
However, he hadn't expected Aokiji to be so vigilant, and discover his plan so quickly. He had stopped his footsteps, forcing him to attack in advance.
In the end, he unfortunately hadn't achieved the desired effect.
"Since it didn't succeed, then I can only come at him head-on."
A glint flashed in Akira's eyes. His figure suddenly rushed towards the re-condensed Aokiji. He wielded Tensa Zangetsu in his hand, and every move attacked Aokiji's vitals.
Although Aokiji was an Ice-Ice Fruit ability user, it didn't mean that he was bad in other aspects. On the contrary, his Armament Haki was also very powerful.
He used his Hie Hie no Mi ability to resist Akira's Tensa Zangetsu, and also covered his attack with Armament Haki.
This made Akira very uncomfortable, because although his speed had reached the extreme, he still couldn't beat Aokiji in terms of strength.
While Aokiji and Akira were fighting, the Navy soldiers on the other side were also surrounding Jeffrey White and his son.
Although the number of Navy soldiers wasn't large, they were much more than Rambo and his son. The two of them were quickly surrounded.
If Jeffrey White's strength wasn't good, they would probably be taken down by the Navy soon.
Akira could naturally see the situation on Jeffrey White's side. So he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. If it was just him alone, he naturally wouldn't need to worry.
But now, Jeffrey White and his son were following him. He definitely couldn't ignore the two of them.
Although the anxiety on Akira's face only flashed for a moment, it was seen by Aokiji, and he seized the opportunity to strengthen his attack at once.
"Puchi!"
Aokiji, who was going all out, was very terrifying. Because Akira had been distracted, he had lost the initiative. Aokiji had seized the opportunity to attack continuously.
In the end, he was stabbed in the body by Aokiji's ice blade, which directly pierced through Akira's right chest.
Akira groaned in pain, but the movements in his hands didn't stop. He used his left hand to forcefully grab Aokiji's ice blade, not allowing Aokiji to retreat.
At the same time, he thrust Tensa Zangetsu in his right hand fiercely towards Aokiji.
Tensa Zangetsu did pierce Aokiji, but Aokiji had already elementalized, and turned into ice blocks. Akira's attack had only hit the ice blocks.
On the contrary, Aokiji shouted in a low voice, "Ice Time!"
