108 Luffy, Liam Versus Aokiji Part 2

[Ice Block: Ice Punch]

He turned his fist into ice and infused a massive amount of Armament Haki into it. His advanced armament contained in his fist collided against Luffy's fist.

Bang!

The collision released a fierce impact that flattened the ground. Aokiji and Luffy pushed each other away with their strength. But, Luffy's attack didn't stop.

His arm continued to grow longer as it moved toward Aokiji once again.

Aokiji coated his arm with Haki alone and punched Luffy's fist. This time, the impact was even greater.

But, it didn't succeed in pushing Luffy away. Instead, it only made his fist even stronger.

Bang!

Eventually, Luffy managed to hit Aokiji who tanked the attack with his ice powers but still coughed out blood.

After all, Luffy's armament could destroy him from the inside.

[Morning Peacock]

Suddenly, Aokiji sensed a burning sensation from behind. He saw Liam thrusting his fist at an extreme speed, releasing massive balls of fire.

This made him speechless. It's not like he hasn't seen a fire of that size before. It's just that Liam was using his brute strength to create these fireballs with his physical strength alone.

[Ice Block: Ice Balls]

Aokiji released his Ice toward Liam, creating massive ice balls that collided against his fireballs.

These ice balls had equal strength to that of a fireball so Liam's attack was instantly broken.

But, suddenly, he noticed a powerful force coming toward him. With the immense armament and conqueror gathered at his feet, Liam was preparing another powerful attack.

'If I take this kind of attack without using my Armament Haki and Observation Haki to its max, I won't be able to survive.' Aokiji instantly came to a conclusion.

But, just when he was ready to move, his future sight sensed another attack coming from his back.

Behind him, Luffy was constantly filling up more and more air into his arm until his arm got significantly bigger.

Seeing this, Aokiji clicked his tongue and released a massive amount of ice from his body.

This ice formed into a human shape and it rushed toward Luffy.

Upon getting closer to Luffy, the human-shaped ice covered Luffy in its ice before even Luffy could finish his attack.

In an instant, Luffy was frozen.

[Ice Block: Ice Clone]

[Ice Block: Time Capsule]

By using two of his attacks, he finally managed to block Luffy's attack. So, he turned his head to Liam who had already finished preparing his attack.

Liam's conqueror haki was wildly bursting out. He poured all of it into his foot and thrust it toward Kuzan.

[Evening Elephant]

[One Foot]

A massive air shock burst out of his foot and rushed toward Aokiji. Seeing this attack, Aokiji erected a massive wall of ice.

[Ice Block: Ice Wall]

Bang!

The air impact broke the ice wall into pieces as it crumbled under his feet. But, it did succeed in blocking Liam's attack.

Unfortunately, his attack wasn't finished yet.

His armament haki and conqueror haki in his foot was getting stronger as he thrusts his foot once again, creating even greater air shock.

[Two Feet]

[Ice Block: Partisan]

He condensed a massive number of ice tridents and thrusts them toward that massive air shock.

Boom!

Two collided creating a massive shockwave that spread all around the island. The water around the island was also going wild.

Somewhere far from the island,

"Hey, is it really okay for you to relax on a pirate ship?" Sanji served a glass of juice to Smoker and asked.

"I wasn't here to capture you in the first place. As for your refusal for the position of Shichibukai, it's none of my business." Smoker answered while taking the juice and drinking it.

"It's delicious."

Even though he has drunk quite a lot of juice, this was the first time he had drunk something so good.

"Thanks! Now, let me serve it for Tashigi Chan!" Sanji immediately turned into a love-struck fool and rushed toward Tashigi.

"Damn it! Why did the admiral suddenly come for us?" Usopp clenched his fist and angrily shouted.

But, he only got a smack on his head.

"Nami, why did you hit me?" Usopp turned around and shouted. But, when he saw Nami walking toward Robin, he stopped and apologized.

"Sorry, Robin!"

Robin still had a hard time accepting all of this. She didn't believe that her crew would face off against the admiral just to keep her safe.

She shook her head and said.

"No, I should be the one to apologize. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in such trouble. Sure enough! I shouldn't have joined you."

Clack!

Suddenly, Zoro pierced the ship's deck with his sword and looked straight into Robin's eyes.

His action also made others look at him strangely.

"Luffy is the Captain of this ship and Liam is the vice-captain. Whether it is Luffy or Liam, nobody cares about your identity or past."

"Since you have joined our crew, we will do anything to keep you safe. So, don't even think about leaving the crew."

"Do we look like a crew who would abandon their partners because of our enemy? Are we so untrustworthy in your eyes?"

Zoro shouted.

Hearing his words, everyone froze for a moment.

Robin's mind went blank as well. Even Smoker couldn't help but stare at the swordsman with amazement.

Robin hasn't heard of such warm words in her entire life, maybe only one time.

'No one in this world is born to be alone. One day, you will also find a group of people who will be your partners.'

Those words rang in her ears once again. Tears flickered in her eyes as she nodded her head. Finally, she wasn't hiding her tears.

Zoro took back his sword and turned around. His arms were wrapped in front of his chest as he sternly watched the island.

The collision of conqueror, ice, and armament was creating shockwave after shockwave.

On the Island,

[Three Feet]

Liam launched another powerful attack. This time, Kuzan had to use all of his strength to block it.

But, suddenly, he noticed something strange from behind.

The crackling lightning burst out and the massive conqueror haki shocked even him.

Luffy who was still in the form of Bound man coated his body with Conqueror Haki and broke the ice around him.

"Hehe! Is this the trick that Liam used? Sure enough, it is extremely powerful. Without this boost, I didn't think I would be able to use it."

Luffy giggled as he bounced a few more times and rushed toward Aokiji.

"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? This is not a power jump through your ability, right?"

Aokiji turned to Liam who was preparing for another attack in the same posture and asked.

His tone was filled with utter shock.

"Hahaha! I knew Luffy would be able to use it."

Liam felt pity when he found that Luffy wasn't able to use Conqueror Coating. Fighting against an admiral with Conqueror Coating would be extremely hard.

Even he was able barely putting a fight against an Admiral and that's only because of his immense Haki.

But, he didn't expect Luffy would be able to comprehend Conqueror Haki coating in the middle of the battle and use it as well.

[Gomu-Gomu No- Overlord Ape Gun]

[Evening Elephant- Four Feet]

Luffy and Liam pushed their Haki to their absolute limit and attacked from both sides at the same time.

Seeing both attacks coming from both directions, Aokiji had a strange headache. He knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it and knowing such a powerful attack, he wouldn't be able to take it either.

[Awakening]

[Ice Age]

Without any hesitation, he bursts out his awakening and released a powerful chill that shrouded the entire island.

But, the massive air cannon shot toward Aokiji. It was so fast and fierce that it burst through Ice Age and struck Aokiji.

At the same time, Luffy's fist also burst through the Ice Age and struck Aokiji. Even with powerful observation, Aokiji wasn't able to dodge it so he faced the attack head-on with all of his Armament Haki.

Bang!

The attack left Aokiji unable to defend even with his Armament Haki. It destroyed its Ice body and broke Armament Haki, crushing him from both sides.

His skin started bleeding and his entire body got covered in bruises. But, at the same time, the entire island was covered in Ice, and even with their Conqueror Coating, they could only resist the ice, not even break.

Suddenly, Liam and Luffy's eyes narrowed as they realized something. They nodded at each other and decided to leave.

Just when Liam was leaving, he didn't forget to taunt Aokiji who was lying on the ground in blood and bruises.

"Since you left Robin alive, we can't kill you. So, this means we have returned the favor of our crew mate. Now, she owes you nothing so don't disturb her life."

Saying so, he left.
