"Brother!"

Carmel Cezar felt his body being grabbed by his brother in horror.

The next second, his head was easily cut off by Suzuki!

"."

Suzuki frowned as he looked at the headless body that had fallen, and remained where he was.

"Forget it, let's eat this person first, lest the Devil Fruit escapes."

After tidying up the body on the spot, Suzuki casually swallowed it.

Captain Adili Cezar saw that Suzuki was no longer chasing him, and immediately ran faster!

"Hahahaha, I escaped!"

"As long as I leave by boat, the Traveler won't be able to catch up. When I go to the New World and come back."

"Traveler? It's just."

Adili looked at the pirate ship he was about to board, his face full of excitement from surviving a disaster, and his heart even gave birth to thoughts of revenge against Suzuki.

"Bang!"

"."

Suzuki calmly walked towards Adili's body, which had fallen in front of the wooden ladder. As he walked, he slowly retracted the dark muzzle that had emerged from his body.

He once again skillfully packed up the body and swallowed it without changing his expression.

After waiting for half an hour, the two Snake-Snake Fruits were reborn in the space, and then he spat out the bodies of the two brothers.

He calmly walked towards the edge of the island.

Not long after, Suzuki, who was about to spit out the boat and leave, suddenly stopped moving as he looked at the boundless blue sea.

Immediately, a magnetic and lazy voice came from behind him:

"Ah la la, Traveler? Excuse me, can you go to Impel Down with me?"

At the same time, countless cold air began to spread around, freezing the entire island and even the sea near the island.

In an instant, it was as if the season had changed.

It was clearly the hot summer season of July and August, but the temperature on the island suddenly dropped to dozens of degrees below zero!

Suzuki turned around and saw a tall and thin man wearing a black coat, small black sunglasses, and white cold air coming out of his mouth, looking at him with a relaxed expression.

This was one of the three future admirals of the navy, the current candidate admiral - Aokiji-Kuzan!

However,

"Ah, sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I might not have time to go to Impel Down with you."

Suzuki calmly replied to Aokiji's suggestion.

Hearing Suzuki's reply, Aokiji said lazily again:

"Ah la la, this little brother is really good at joking."

"Whether you're in a hurry or not has nothing to do with me taking you to Impel Down~"

"Moreover, Impel Down is not a place to play."

Suzuki's eyes narrowed. Knowing that this battle was most likely unavoidable, he slowly placed his hand on the dual swords at his waist.

Then he said jokingly:

"When did Mr. Kuzan become Impel Down's tour guide?"

"Are you trying to force customers?"

"I'm really sorry, I'm indeed quite interested in Impel Down, but I still want to go and have a look for myself when I have the chance in the future."

"Don't worry, I know the way. I don't need to trouble Mr. Kuzan with such a small matter."

"If you're really bored, you can go to the New World and have a look around. Or, I can tell you where Mr. Garp is~"

While speaking, Suzuki's mind was also thinking about the battle he was about to face.

Aokiji was a Paramecia-Ice-Ice Fruit ability user, and his strength was so strong that he was already close to a monster. In a few years, he would become a true monster level, and from then on, he would stand at the peak of the sea.

Whether it was the Ice-Ice Fruit's large-scale impact on the environment or Aokiji's own powerful strength, Suzuki's heart became cautious.

If it was his complete body, he would still be confident in fighting this future admiral of the navy.

However, he was just a clone, and currently only had the ability of the Paramecia-Swallow-Swallow Fruit, and his physical fitness was only about twenty times.

In terms of hard strength, there was no doubt that he was far inferior to Aokiji.

"So, do I need to be more unexpected when fighting."

Suzuki thought deeply with a profound expression.

Just then, Aokiji's expression became serious, and white cold air gradually emerged from his body that was visible to the naked eye.

He slowly walked towards Suzuki while saying:

"Is that so?"

"You know where Mr. Garp is~"

"But it's a pity that Marshal Kong and Vice Admiral Tsuru asked me to capture you."

"Although I'm very concerned about Mr. Garp, I'll still send you to Impel Down first. I hope that after you get there, you can tell me where Mr. Garp is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aokiji's slowly walking body suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Suzuki!

"Ice Time~"

Aokiji opened his arms, and his tall and thin figure seemed to be embracing him. The cold air on his body also quickly flowed towards Suzuki, as if he was about to freeze the figure in his arms into an ice cube in the next moment.

"Bang!"

Suzuki calmly drew his dual swords and blocked Aokiji's hands that were about to close.

Then, the dual swords slid along Aokiji's arms towards his neck, easily cutting off the head of this future admiral of the navy!

"."

"Little brother, your sword is quite sharp, after all, my ice is quite hard."

"However, it's useless~"

Aokiji restored his head to its original state without changing his expression, and his body also turned into ice at this moment.

This was the elementalization unique to Paramecia Devil Fruits. Aokiji, who had turned into ice, was completely unafraid of physical attacks. Even if Suzuki cut off his head, it would be a result without any harm to him.

However, Suzuki did not listen at all. The dual swords swung again, and in a very short period of time, he slashed dozens of times.

"You really don't listen to advice. I've already said that it's useless."

"Let's go to Impel Down with me, Traveler."

Even though his body had been ruthlessly slashed, Aokiji still patiently persuaded Suzuki not to make futile resistance and attacks.

His elementalization, whether it was his head being cut off or being cut into pieces, did not have the slightest effect.

At this moment, Aokiji even felt that Suzuki would most likely not have Haki.

After all, in previous battles, Suzuki had not shown it either.

The navy's intelligence did not find any records of this Traveler going to the New World. Since Suzuki had always stayed in the Four Seas and Paradise, it was very difficult to have the opportunity to learn Haki.

Moreover, when he had just attacked him, he seemed very much like a newcomer who was facing elementalization for the first time.

However.

"I don't think so~"

Suzuki calmly looked at Aokiji, who was standing in front of him unharmed.

The next moment, the Enkai and Netsukai that he had prepared on his body were instantly activated.

In an instant, raging flames suddenly erupted, and the close-range flames blocked Aokiji's vision. The extremely high temperature even slowed down his recovery speed.

At the same time, Suzuki silently attached Armament Haki to his dual swords and slashed down again.
