Chapter 899: As long as it's ice, it's ineffective against me
Is it on fire?
I'll put out your fire now!
Aokiji released a large amount of cold air in annoyance. Under his urging, a large amount of ice quickly spread on the ground. But when the ice met Natsu, it was like meeting a natural enemy and could not move forward at all.
Even Aokiji couldn't help but frown: The temperature of this flame is too high...
What surprised him even more was his ability to break free from his full body freezing. He could see that Natsu was not domineering, and was completely relying on the temperature of the flames to melt the ice, which was not so easy to do. Just this control over the flames was definitely much stronger than that 'Fire Fist' Ace!
The two men moved extremely quickly, taking less than half a minute to complete three moves. Seeing Natsu start the fight, the others were not idle either. Gray took off his clothes at lightning speed and joined the fight right after him, wanting to see the strength of the so-called navy admiral for himself.
On the Hope, they had been under Kira's control and hadn't fought for a long time. This was a rare opportunity to stretch their muscles, so how could they let it go?
So soon, the battle turned into two against one.
As for Eric, Lucy, Juvia, Wendy and others, they were not very interested in it. Erza was eager to try it, but reason prevailed in the end.
She is not an impulsive and reckless person like Natsu. Just by looking at Robin's attitude, she can tell that CP9 and the admirals are probably not under the command of the same group of people. The Council has several types of troops, not to mention this "World Government"?
"Ice Lancer! !"
Gray clasped his hands together, and the same cold air was released outwards, creating several ice spears out of thin air that broke through the air. This scene made Aokiji feel like he was looking in a mirror.
"Is this guy Gray who uses ice shaping magic as mentioned in the intelligence? He can actually use the power of ice?!" Aokiji raised his eyelids and was very surprised at Gray's moves.
Although he had learned that there was one person among these people who could fight with ice and was very good at ice sculptures, when he actually met him, especially when the other person used fighting methods that were very similar to his own, he still had an illusion like looking in a mirror, as if he was fighting with himself.
"Ice Cube·Two Thorns!"
Without any hesitation, Aokiji also raised his hands, releasing cold air in the air around him, condensing into several ice spears that were shot forward, as if in mirror symmetry.
The ice spears created by Gray are thin and long, with faster speed, more number and stronger penetrating power; the ice spears created by Aokiji are short and thick, with greater destructive power.
Two different ice spears collided in mid-air, breaking into several pieces, and some of them shattered into ice chips and scattered all over the ground, adding to the cold air around them.
Ever since consuming the three-in-one experience pack of Leon + Urrutia + Inbel, Gray's ice-making magic has improved by leaps and bounds. Now that he has finally met an opponent with similar abilities to himself, Gray does not want to easily let go of this opportunity to verify his strength with others, so he quickly uses his second move before Natsu can react.
"Ice-made Ice Cannon!!"
This battle involved his own specialty, and Gray was extremely excited. The first tentative attack just now made him realize that his speed in using ice magic was much faster and more stable than the opponent's use of the devil fruit ability to cool the surroundings and then condense into a fixed form.
"Ice Cube, Pheasant Mouth!!"
Aokiji covered his right arm with cold air, then swung it violently, releasing a huge ice bird. The ice bird was lifelike, with delicate wings and focused eyes, as if it had a soul. Under Aokiji's control, it flapped its wings and rushed straight towards Gray. Its destructive power seemed to be stronger than Leon's 'dynamic' ice shape.
Sure enough, when the ice cannon hit Aokiji, it was blocked by the other party just by spreading its wings slightly, which made Gray couldn't help but look at Aokiji again.
“As expected of an admiral, you are an expert at using ice…”
After this shot, Gray also realized his own shortcomings, that is, the ice weapons he created using the ice shaping magic were not as hot as the attacks created by the opponent using the ability of the ice fruit.
For a moment, Gray had the illusion that he was facing a strengthened version of Inbel.
So the next moment, Gray's mind moved, and the dark texture quickly spread upward from his arm to occupy the right half of his body. His hair stood up, and he directly entered the state of destroying evil!
"What is this?! This image doesn't look like a good person..."
Just as Aokiji was surprised at Gray's change and couldn't help but whisper, Gray had already used his third move.
"Ice Devil's Excitement!!"
With a loud roar, a stream of pink and white ice spewed out of Gray's mouth. This was a spectacle comparable to a tornado, a tsunami, or a snowy avalanche. Aokiji's face changed drastically: "Spraying out a stream of ice from the mouth? Is there such a thing?!"
Subconsciously, Aokiji used his AOE skill: "Ice Age!!"
In the Ice Age, a large amount of cold air is released from the whole body, freezing everything around. Its power is enough to freeze a large area of sea or land into an ice world in an instant, and the duration can last for more than a week.
The reason for using this move is that Aokiji already planned to end this meaningless battle. Using absolute power to curb the restless hearts of these wizards can not only warn them, but also gain more say in subsequent conversations.
I'm obviously just here for vacation and to see Nico Robin, so why do I have to fight with this group of young people with unknown origins and terrible potential?
If Erza and the others were pirates, Aokiji could still convince himself to take action, but they are not, so isn't it just looking for trouble for him to fight with them?
Are they afraid that the conflict between the Navy and 'Erin's gang' in the New World won't be enough?
bass--!!!
As Aokiji made his move, a large amount of ice instantly covered an area of hundreds of meters in radius, freezing the surrounding land that had been eroded by the sea water and the waves that were hitting it into ice.
The icy cold air made Lucy and the others shiver as they were instantly enveloped in the world of ice: "It's so cold..."
boom!!
The flames on Natsu's body ignited, and in the blink of an eye, they dispelled the cold air around the few people. Gray, who was not far away, did not move at all. He possessed a resistance to cold far beyond that of ordinary people. This level of cold air had no effect on him at all!
In addition, Gray, who was in the Ice Destroying state, was absolutely immune to ice-attribute attacks. Therefore, the ice that Aokiji applied to Gray not only had no effect at all, but was completely absorbed by him.
Then Aokiji saw the most surprising scene in his life—
"I'm sorry, but ice has no effect on me!"
After Gray finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and sucked hard. An irresistible strong suction force emerged from his body. Then, the ice that was harder than steel became as soft as water. After hitting the bottomless hole, it all rushed over! !
In an instant, Gray swallowed the ice world created by Aokiji, which covered hundreds of meters in radius! ! !
"What the hell is this?! This kid ate the ice?! Eating ice is fine, but how can he eat it this way?? This is too weird!!"
Aokiji was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. He didn't understand what he was saying, but he was shocked. "Come to think of it, Smoker did say that the kid named Natsu can eat fire. I didn't quite understand what he meant by that, but now it seems like he really can eat it directly!"
"This ability is somewhat similar to the Swallow Swallow Fruit, but it should only be able to eat specific things ..."
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Gray wipe his mouth, frowning and muttering to himself: "After eating this ice, my stomach feels cold. Did I eat the sand in the soil just now? If I get diarrhea, I will be doomed!"
Aokiji: “…”
You've eaten so much ice, and you're still afraid of eating sand and getting a stomach upset? ?
Gray didn't think too much about it. After eating so much ice in one breath, he only felt that the magic power in his body increased greatly. His stomach was cold and he just wanted to expel something. So he raised his right hand in front of him. Under the activation of magic power, a cold current surged around his body, turning into a cool breeze that kept blowing on his standing black hair.
"Try what it feels like to be hit by the same move!"
Then a light shout came out: "Silver World!!"
In the blink of an eye, surging magic power surged in all directions, and the ice froze everything within sight. The temperature difference changed several times in a short period of time, and a bone-chilling cold wind blew on the coast, carrying crystal ice particles into the sky.
The world that had already lost its silvery attire was once again covered in ice and snow, and even Aokiji's three-meter-tall body was frozen into ice by Gray's magic! !
This kind of magic attack still couldn't cause any harm to him as a user of natural abilities.
But Aokiji was still surprised, because this ability was exactly the same as the Ice Age he just had!
The guy named Natsu can restore his strength by eating fire, and this guy named Gray seems to be able to restore his strength by eating ice. Could it be that these wizards have the ability to eat certain things to increase their strength?
Try again!
Aokiji's body reappeared from the ice and slowly turned into a human form.
Gray was not surprised by this and grinned, "I knew you were fine! You can elementalize your body and be immune to most attacks. You must be a natural devil fruit user, right?"
"You know a lot, don't you? I thought you didn't even know what a devil fruit is... Then can you tell me what your abilities are?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gray knew that Aokiji still mistook the magic they used for the ability of a devil fruit, and he was too lazy to explain at the moment.
"I heard from Kira that the admiral of the navy is one of the most powerful people in the world, equivalent to the status of the Twelve Shields in Ascalante. I wonder how strong this person is?"
Thinking of this, Gray's eyes became brighter. He could feel the factors in his body that wanted to fight were frantically agitated, but soon calmed down. "But it's a pity that this guy's ability was restrained by me!"
"In that case, if I win, you tell me!"
Aokiji said as he stepped forward and continued to activate the power of the devil fruit: "Ice Ball!"
But Gray was not in a hurry, he opened his mouth and swallowed: "I suck it!!"
The ice cones gathered towards Gray and turned into food in his mouth.
"Hmm?? Again!! Ice Block!!"
"I'll suck it again!!"
"Frozen Time Capsule !!"
“I’m inhaling!!!”
Aokiji broke out in a sweat, thinking that since long-range attack didn't work, he would try close combat!
So he made an ice blade, attached his domineering aura to it, and planned to use his sword skills that he had not used for a long time.
As we all know, powerful domineering can invalidate the power of the devil fruit, so Aokiji did this to try to see if he could remove Gray's strange power to devour ice.
However, the next moment, the ice knife with armed color domineering chopped heavily on Gray's bare shoulder, but did not leave any mark at all. He even grabbed the knife, put it to his mouth and bit it off with a "click".
Aokiji was completely silent: "..."
What kind of devil fruit is this? I've never heard of any fruit with this ability!
