In an instant, Aokiji's entire person turned into ice blocks, and also turned Akira, who was entangled with him, into an ice sculpture.
The blood on Akira's body had just flowed out, and it turned into ice. A cold chill invaded his body along his wound.
In just a short moment, Akira felt that he was about to be frozen stiff, and his face became extremely pale.
"How can he be so strong!"
Although Akira was frozen, he didn't lose consciousness. He was very shocked in his heart. He hadn't felt his opponent's strength when he had fought Aokiji before.
However, at this moment, he had truly witnessed Aokiji's strength. Don't look at how Aokiji's ice ability didn't have any special tricks.
However, just the simplest chill and freezing had made him suffer a serious injury so easily, and be frozen.
Under the invasion of the chill, Akira felt that even his consciousness was about to be frozen. However, he forcefully endured it.
He knew that once he lost consciousness, he would be completely defeated. Now, Aokiji was using the chill from his entire body to control him.
The firmness and temperature of the freezing were incomparable to before. Moreover, he was injured now, and the chill had entered his body.
At this time, Akira's greatest crisis wasn't his frozen body, but the chill that had invaded his body. This chill was invading his internal organs at an extremely fast speed.
If he didn't quickly expel it, it probably wouldn't be long before the internal organs and blood in his body would be frozen.
At that time, even if he had great abilities, he would be powerless to recover.
At the critical moment of life and death, Akira gathered all of his power on his right hand. He only saw the ice on his right hand make a 'crack crack' sound.
After a few seconds, the ice below his right wrist cracked. He quickly flicked his wrist, and Tensa Zangetsu was also released from the ice.
Then, Akira used all of his power, and flung Tensa Zangetsu in his hand out, and stabbed it onto Aokiji, who had also turned into an ice sculpture.
"Puchi!"
The blade pierced into the ice sculpture. Then, a wisp of blood was seen flowing out from Aokiji's ice sculpture.
It was just at this moment that Akira suddenly felt the chill weaken. So he used all of his strength, and suddenly shook.
The ice sculpture on his body immediately exploded, and then he grabbed Tensa Zangetsu, and quickly retreated.
While Akira was retreating, Aokiji also released his elementalized body. He only saw a wound appear on his lower abdomen, which was exactly where Akira had stabbed him before.
He looked at Akira in shock, and said, "You're actually able to use Armament Haki?"
If he could pierce his frozen body, and injure him, it was needless to say that he must have used Armament Haki.
After retreating dozens of steps, and standing still, Akira suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
What was even more terrifying was that after this mouthful of blood was spat out, it quickly froze, and turned into a blood-red blood clot.
Akira forcefully endured his trembling body, and returned Tensa Zangetsu to its scabbard. There was already Aokiji's blood on the sword. This was already enough.
After getting Aokiji's blood, this goal had already been completed. Next, he had to consider how to escape. As for the injuries on his body, as long as he could escape, it wouldn't be a problem.
"If I want to leave, the biggest problem is Aokiji. Only by controlling Aokiji can we leave."
Although there were many Navy soldiers here, the strongest one besides Aokiji was his vice-captain, but he only had the level of a Commodore.
Otherwise, so many Navy soldiers would have already taken down Jeffrey White and his son.
"Using ice to control ice might be very interesting."
Thinking of this, Akira felt an urgent desire to use Hyōrinmaru in his heart. Because his opponent was Aokiji, he did what he thought of.
After the mouthful of blood that he had spat out just now, most of the chill in his body had been forced out.
So even if he suppressed his injuries, it wouldn't worsen them by much. So he immediately pressed on the hilt of his sword.
"Hyōrinmaru!"
He whispered, and a straight long sword was drawn out by him. The blade was crystal clear and snow-white. This was the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō, Hyōrinmaru.
"You've changed the shape of the sword again? I haven't seen this sword before. Could it be a newly appeared ability?"
Aokiji had fought Akira many times before, and had seen several forms of Zanpakutō.
So he no longer had the surprise that he had at the beginning. Instead, he started guessing the ability of this sword.
Akira held Hyōrinmaru, and suddenly smiled slightly at Aokiji, and said, Aokiji, speaking of which, I still have to thank you for unsealing this Hyōrinmaru for me.
If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't have been completely unsealed.
Although I was injured because of this, everything is worth it. Next, I hope you won't be too shocked.
Hearing Akira's words, Aokiji's expression was very blank and puzzled.
He didn't understand what Akira meant by these words. He could only understand that this sword seemed to be related to him, but what was going on? He could only stare at Akira.
Akira slowly opened his mouth, and said, "Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens! Hyōrinmaru!"
He only saw a chain with a crescent-shaped tail appear behind the hilt of Hyōrinmaru as soon as Akira's voice fell.
Seeing this scene, Aokiji said in a low voice, "Has it undergone a change in form? Is it the same evolution as those swords?"
For some reason, looking at this Shikai Hyōrinmaru, Aokiji always felt a sense of familiarity.
"Swish!"
Akira held Hyōrinmaru, and aimed the tip of the sword in Aokiji's direction, and said, "Aokiji, this is also the first time I'm using this sword. I don't know how strong its power is, so be careful."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Aokiji to answer, and used his move, "Sōten ni Zase!"
Akira swung Hyōrinmaru, and instantly, countless chain ice bullets were fired. They flew towards Aokiji like a flock of birds.
"This is?"
Seeing Akira swing his sword and so many ice bullets appeared, and attacked him like a swarm, Aokiji's face changed drastically in an instant, because this was completely the same as his Ice-Ice Fruit ability. He was actually able to release ice bullets.
While shocked in his heart, Aokiji didn't forget his situation. He only saw his body elementalize quickly.
All of those ice bullets attacked his body, forming a vast amount of ice shards. However, after the attack ended, Aokiji's figure reappeared.
"That's right, this is the Ice-Ice Fruit ability."
Aokiji's face was shocked. He had an 80% certainty that Akira was using something similar to the Hie Hie no Mi ability.
Linking it to what Akira had said just now, it was very obvious that this sword's ability was very likely obtained from his body.
Thinking of this possibility, Aokiji's face became very ugly. So the reason why Akira had always wanted him to come and catch him was because there was such a truth.
Aokiji guessed that Akira's weapon that could turn into multiple swords was very likely a sword that evolved by seizing the abilities of others.
Akira wouldn't care about Aokiji's shock at this time. He only saw him attack again, "Ryūsenka!"
Hyōrinmaru was slashed towards Aokiji's direction. Instantly, an ice dragon formed, and rushed straight from the tip of Hyōrinmaru's blade.
All the places it passed through turned into frozen areas, making the surrounding chill even more intense.
Aokiji couldn't care about being shocked. He knew best how strong the Ice-Ice Fruit ability was.
So although he couldn't completely confirm it yet, he definitely didn't dare to underestimate Akira's attack.
"Ice Block 'Two Thorns Spears'!"
The ice spears quickly crashed into the ice dragon, forcefully stopping the ice dragon's speed. However, the ice dragon suddenly flicked its tail, and launched another attack.
Aokiji's power was very strong. The ice dragon's attack didn't cause him any damage. It was also an ice ability, but it was very obvious that Aokiji was stronger than Akira in this aspect.
Although Akira's move looked more imposing, it was useless if it couldn't hurt Aokiji.
"Bankai!"
Seeing that Shikai Hyōrinmaru was still not enough to contend against Aokiji, he immediately used Bankai.
"Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
He only saw twelve red lotus petals appear behind Akira. The moment the ice flowers appeared, a terrifying chill was released around them.
These chills quickly formed an ice dragon. Its huge ice wings extended out from the wrist holding the sword, and there were ice crystals shaped like three huge petals floating on its back.
It looked as if a huge ice dragon had grown out of his back. This was the Daiguren Hyōrinmaru that hadn't been completely released.
