"Go!"
Akira shouted in a low voice. The ice dragon behind him moved with his body, and rushed towards Aokiji quickly.
It had to be said that Hyōrinmaru's attack method was very dazzling. However, from the chill it emitted, one could know how terrifying this ice dragon was. However, his opponent was an expert in using ice.
Seeing the ice dragon, Aokiji only saw him use Partridge Beak again. The huge ice bird and the ice dragon collided together.
There wasn't the imagined collision sound. Instead, they quickly merged together, forming a larger ice block.
What shocked Akira even more was that after the ice dragon and the ice bird merged, his control over the ice dragon had weakened by a few points.
"Not good. Aokiji is a Devil Fruit user who ate the Ice-Ice Fruit. He has an extremely strong control over ice. Even if it's ice made by others, as long as he has time, he can probably turn it into his own use."
Suddenly, Akira seemed to have figured something out. Aokiji himself was an Hie Hie no Mi ability user.
So although the ice-type attacks released by his Hyōrinmaru were powerful enough, their power would be greatly reduced after reaching Aokiji. In the end, they might even be used by Aokiji.
After figuring this out, Akira no longer hesitated. Anyway, his Hyōrinmaru had already completed Bankai.
It was just that he couldn't completely control it yet, so Aokiji had taken advantage of the loophole. What he needed now was time.
When he could completely control the power of Hyōrinmaru's Bankai, he wouldn't need to fear Aokiji anymore.
Because as long as he had enough control over the power of ice, it wasn't impossible for him to counter Aokiji.
"Leave first."
Akira had already developed the intention to retreat in his heart.
However, he also knew that it wouldn't be easy to leave in front of Aokiji. So he could only use the power of Hyōrinmaru to delay Aokiji for a while.
"Use that move!"
Hyōrinmaru had only just completed Bankai after all. Akira couldn't control all of its moves yet.
However, it didn't mean that he couldn't use them. He only saw him holding Hyōrinmaru, and aiming it in Aokiji's direction. He shouted loudly, "Senbonkōrinbō!"
In an instant, Aokiji clearly felt that the water in the surrounding air seemed to be attracted.
Then, under his shocked gaze, the water in the air around him quickly condensed, and formed countless powerful ice pillars around him.
Because the ice pillars were forming from all directions at the same time, it was impossible for Aokiji to dodge at all. He could only watch himself be instantly frozen in ice.
"I actually have a day where I'm frozen by someone else's ice."
At the moment he was frozen by the ice prison, this sentence involuntarily appeared in Aokiji's mind.
He really smiled wryly in his heart. He had only ever used his ice ability to freeze others. He had never expected that he would actually be frozen one day.
However, he could clearly feel how terrifying this ice prison formed by using the water in the atmosphere was.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to break it in a short time. He could only elementalize himself, so that the ice prison couldn't cause damage to his body.
The commotion here was so great that there was no way those Navy soldiers couldn't see it. When they saw that their Admiral Aokiji had actually been frozen, they all revealed looks of disbelief.
Aokiji was the king of ice. He had actually been frozen. If this was said, probably no one would believe it. However, the truth was placed in front of their eyes.
The Sennen Hyōrō move was definitely one of the most powerful moves among Hyōrinmaru's Bankai moves.
After using this move, Akira found that his stamina had been consumed too much. If he used it one more time, he definitely wouldn't be able to use it. On one hand, he had only initially mastered this move. On the other hand, he was exhausted.
"Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
Akira used Daiguren Hyōrinmaru again. However, this time, his target of attack wasn't Aokiji, but the Navy soldiers who were besieging Jeffrey White and his son.
Don't look at how this move was easily blocked by Aokiji before. That was because Aokiji possessed the Hie Hie no Mi ability.
How could these Navy soldiers, whose strongest was only a Commodore, block the ice dragon's power of Hyōrinmaru's Bankai?
Wherever the ice dragon passed, all of the Navy soldiers were frozen.
"This?"
Now, only Jeffrey White and his son were still standing there besides Akira. All the rest had been frozen. Jeffrey White looked at this scene in disbelief, and said to Akira, "Akira, isn't this the Hie Hie no Mi ability? How can you use it?"
Akira laughed, and said, "I stole it from Aokiji.!"
Before he could finish speaking, Akira spat out another mouthful of blood. His internal organs had just been frozen by Aokiji's chill.
Although he had used the power of Hyōrinmaru to expel the chill, his internal organs were still injured.
Moreover, his stamina had been greatly consumed in order to deal with Aokiji just now. His injuries immediately relapsed.
"Akira, how are you?"
Looking at Akira's pale face, Jeffrey White's expression became very nervous.
Akira shook his head, and said, "I can still hold on. We can't stay here for long. I can't trap Aokiji for too long. We need to leave immediately."
Saying that, he had already put Hyōrinmaru away. Then, he drew again. However, this time, what he drew was Minazuki.
He controlled Minazuki's Shikai, and then said to Jeffrey White and his son, "Let's go. Hurry."
Jeffrey White and his son didn't dare to delay. They followed Akira, and jumped onto Minazuki. Then, the three of them quickly flew up, and quickly disappeared from this sea area.
About a few minutes after Akira and the others left, the huge Senbonkōrinbō that had trapped Aokiji suddenly made a 'crack crack' sound.
Then, a gap was seen appearing in the huge ice prison. Aokiji walked out from that gap.
Aokiji's entire person was like a transparent person. His entire body was ice. He turned his head to look at the huge ice prison, and his eyes flashed with light.
Akira's move was indeed very terrifying. Even though he was an Ice-Ice Fruit ability user, he had actually used a very long time to break free. He would never have believed this if it was in the past.
However, at this moment, his level of importance for Akira had suddenly increased to the highest level.
However, although he had suffered such a big loss this time, Akira's attack method had also given Aokiji great inspiration.
It had allowed him to see other ways to use the ice ability. As long as he seriously researched it next, he definitely had the confidence to raise his strength by a level, and be able to use the Hie Hie no Mi Fruit ability more perfectly.
Akira didn't know that his battle with Aokiji had not only allowed him to get Hyōrinmaru's Bankai, but had also created a stronger Navy Admiral.
Aokiji quickly saw those Navy soldiers who had been frozen by Akira. Then, he went to help those Navy soldiers release the ice on their bodies.
Although these Navy soldiers had been frozen, they hadn't died immediately, because Akira hadn't destroyed the ice sculptures. So those Navy soldiers hadn't died.
However, if there was no Aokiji's help, and they went on like this for an hour, these people's internal organs would be corroded by the chill.
At that time, even if the ice on their bodies was removed, it would be impossible to save them.
This was the terrifying part of the ice ability. So Aokiji quickly removed the ice on his subordinates' bodies.
After doing all this, Aokiji shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "No wonder Sakazuki and Borsalino couldn't capture him even when they joined forces. This kid is indeed getting harder and harder to deal with."
Although Aokiji hadn't completely exploded just now, he had still been trapped and escaped by Akira in that kind of situation.
He understood that even if he fully exploded, it was probably very difficult to take down Akira.
Of course, if it was a battle to the death, he had a great certainty of killing Akira in a short time, because he was much more experienced in this aspect than Akira.
This battle allowed Aokiji to realize Akira's potential even more. Especially that sword in his hand, it could actually absorb his ability.
Since it could get his ability, then it must also be able to get the abilities of others.
Thinking of this possibility, Aokiji's heart became even more vigilant, because this kind of ability was really too terrifying.
However, although it was terrifying, it wasn't invincible either. Because judging from Akira's performance, a sword should only have one special ability.
Although it could evolve twice, the essential ability was the same. So although that weapon was powerful, it could only use one ability at a time.
This was probably the best restriction. If there was no restriction, Aokiji simply couldn't imagine what the result would be.
At this time, Akira was leading Jeffrey White and his son around a large distance, and then hiding.
The first thing after hiding was to heal his injuries. Akira first treated Jeffrey White and Rambo's injuries.
The two of them had suffered a lot of injuries before when they fought the Navy. However, they quickly recovered under Minazuki's treatment.
After treating these two people, Akira started to treat his own injuries. Actually, his injuries were all internal injuries.
Fortunately, he had used Hyōrinmaru to expel the chill before. So now, he only needed to treat them slightly.
"Akira, the ability you used before, did you really steal it from Aokiji? Is this also the reason why you were looking for Aokiji?"
Seeing Akira use an ice ability that was similar to Aokiji's, Jeffrey White immediately realized why Akira had wanted to find Aokiji so much before. He must have wanted Aokiji's ability.
Akira didn't hide it, and directly said, "You're right. I was looking for Aokiji in order to use his blood to unseal my sword. You must have also seen it. If my sword wants to show more forms and abilities, it needs the power of Devil Fruits. So my sword can also be called a Devil Blade..."
Akira explained with nine true sentences and one false sentence. After all, Jeffrey White was following him. He would discover his secret sooner or later. So it would be better to just say it now.
A look of shock appeared on Jeffrey White's face. He said in disbelief, "It's really too incredible. Your weapon can actually seize the abilities of Devil Fruits. What kind of magical weapon is it?"
Akira shook his head, and said, "There are also restrictions. It's the same as humans eating Devil Fruits. Although my sword can seize many abilities, it can only use one ability each time. If I want to use other abilities, I have to return it to its scabbard, and draw it out again."
Even so, it still couldn't hide the power of the Zanpakutō.
At least in Jeffrey White's eyes, compared to this Death God Blade, what Supreme Grade Swords and Supreme Supreme Grade Swords were simply trash-like existences.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the number one divine weapon in the world.
