The ice ball shattered, and a vast amount of frost power spread out from the explosion.
"Damn it!" The albatross let out a sharp cry. It wasn't directly hit by the frost bomb, but the spreading frost power froze its body from a distance.
Its speed naturally decreased, and seizing this opportunity, Sindragosa charged forward and bit down on the albatross's body.
The dragon and the bird engaged in a fierce aerial battle, reaching a stalemate.
"I'll do it!"
At this moment, a young man from the Holy Guard below stepped forward. He took a deep breath and suddenly roared forward.
Swoosh!
Ten thousand strands of hair rapidly extended, coalescing into a single, massive hand.
The hand's fingers spread wide, eclipsing the sky, and it fiercely grasped towards the soul vortex above.
Seeing this, Vladimir raised an eyebrow.
He knew this person well. A member of the Holy Guard, an ability user of the Hair-Hair Fruit, capable of controlling his body hair.
Although the fruit was ordinary, this person had developed its abilities to an extremely high level, comparable to Doflamingo.
"Too slow."
Vladimir's eyes flashed, and a divine blue light flickered beneath his helmet.
In the next moment, Vladimir abruptly drew Frostmourne from the ground.
Rumble!
Instantly, the soul vortex in the sky struck with a surge of soul power, like lightning, transferring the force into Vladimir's body.
Boom!
Pure soul power nourished his body, and Vladimir immediately felt an explosive power coursing through him, as if he were about to burst.
"You think you can destroy the soul vortex? Dream on!"
Speaking softly, Vladimir held his sword with both hands and suddenly slashed upwards.
Swish!
A silver slash, like a crescent moon, fiercely struck towards the hand.
Before the terrifying giant hand could even reach the vortex in the sky, it was severed by this sword strike.
As it was severed, a crackling sound arose. Frost power began to spread along the hair, freezing everything.
The Hair-Hair Fruit user's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively took a step back.
He retracted his hair, but the frost power followed along the strands, encroaching towards his true body.
"Quickly cut it off!"
Aokiji slashed with his sword, severing the opponent's hair before the frost could spread, thus saving the ability user from being turned into an ice sculpture.
"So troublesome…" Okritho frowned deeply. "It seems we can only join forces to deal with him!"
Saying this, he clenched his right fist, raised it high, and smashed it fiercely into the ground.
"Earth Giant!"
Rumble!
The ground along the entire coastline trembled as a hundreds-of-meters-tall Earth Giant rose from the earth.
Just standing there, the giant exuded immense power.
Now that it had appeared, it immediately raised its right foot and stomped fiercely towards Vladimir.
As a colossal foot descended, Vladimir remained unhurried. Holding his sword in one hand, he walked towards the opponent.
"Okritho, Vice-Commander of the Holy Guard, Logia-type user of the Earth-Earth Fruit, Admiral-level combat power."
Speaking softly, Vladimir flashed, and his figure instantly disappeared from his original position.
Boom!
The Earth Giant's foot landed, immediately causing a violent tremor.
However, Okritho's face changed drastically. He retreated sharply, his body fluidizing.
His reaction was fast, but Vladimir's movements were faster.
Frostmourne swept horizontally, its faint glow flashing. In an instant, Okritho's body was struck.
Pfft!
This sword strike, had he not retreated in advance, would have likely bisected him.
"So fast!"
Okritho was drenched in cold sweat, thinking to himself, "Fortunately, it attacked me. If it were any of the other members, I doubt anyone could have dodved!"
He was a Logia-type user, and he had already fluidized his body, so he wasn't afraid of slashes.
The wound on his chest was about to heal.
However, the wound seemed to have a force preventing its recovery.
"What!?" Okritho's pupils contracted.
Pfft!
Blood gushed out, his fluidization failed, and blood sprayed from the sword wound on his chest.
"Impossible!" He fell backward in shock, looking at Vladimir in disbelief. "What kind of ability is this!?"
There was no Haki, just a normal slash, yet it bypassed his fluidization and struck his true body.
This defied common sense, and everyone was shocked.
Vladimir, however, pressed his advantage. After landing the first blow, he immediately followed up with another strike.
Frostmourne moved like a flowing light, transforming into a sword gleam, and pierced towards Okritho's heart.
