Whoosh.
A laser shot towards them, absorbed by Sabo's black smoke. His expression darkened, his body trembled, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
After enduring several laser strikes, Sabo had reached his limit and was utterly unable to continue fighting.
In the distance, Kizaru was attacking, following from afar and occasionally firing a shot.
Flying in the air required stamina and skill, and attacks consumed energy as well. However, compared to Sabo's endurance, it was clear that Kizaru had developed and utilized his abilities more effectively.
"I'll help you."
Vivi stepped to the edge of the ship, her hands forming two swirling vortices that grew larger, transforming into a massive Sandstorm.
With a throw of her hands, two Sandstorms surged forward, stirring the winds and clouds as they moved toward Kizaru. As they approached him, the winds intensified, and the Sandstorm grew larger, swirling around on the ground.
The change in airflow caused a difference in air density, severely refracting Kizaru's trajectory of light. It became difficult for him to break through this layer of defense, forcing him to circumvent a large area before heading back in their direction.
"I'll help you."
At that moment, Nami raised a conch shell to her lips and gently blew into it. The humid warm air combined with the cold air in the atmosphere gradually transformed into thick fog.
Moreover, the difference in density between the warm and cold air created an air layer that formed an illusion.
The afterimage revealed a Sea Vessel, replicating its movement trajectory. However, due to refraction, it appeared to be heading in another direction.
Vivi and Nami worked together to delay for half an hour.
During this time, Kizaru did not launch a single attack.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Kizaru leaped up from a distant island and said, "Rested enough? Then let's continue."
Kizaru shot towards them again, unleashing a beam of light.
"Block it for me."
Sabo had rested for half an hour, straightening up to release black smoke once more.
Kizaru fired a laser approximately every ten minutes, but Sabo dared not let the smoke dissipate.
Kizaru often vanished into thin air, and if he found an island to rest on, he would suffer almost no losses along the way.
With the ability to maintain the smoke for half an hour, combined with the lasers, Sabo reached a critical point again.
As long as Sabo could hold on, the ship would remain safe; a single hit would spell disaster for it.
"Captain, prepare to leave the Surface of the Sea."
Christmas walked to the edge of the ship and shouted downwards.
"Leave it to me."
Xiaqiu slowly approached beneath the Sea Vessel.
Christmas reached the bow, took a deep breath, leaned forward, and shouted, "It's ready."
With Christmas's words, the entire Sea Vessel suddenly surged upward, breaking free from the Surface of the Sea and soaring into the air.
After consuming Pika and Doflamingo, Xiaqiu's body had been enhanced to an astonishing degree.
His physical attributes were incredibly robust, and his strength had increased explosively.
Under the power of Xiaqiu, the entire Sea Vessel lifted off the Surface of the Sea, with water cascading down.
"Open the door."
Christmas extended both hands forward, and with a creak, the space in front of them opened, revealing a gap over a foot above the Surface of the Sea.
It was a double door. Xiaqiu leaned forward, lifting the Sea Vessel into the opening, but the door did not fully open.
"Open it for me."
Christmas shouted loudly, pushing their abilities to the limit, causing the door to swing open even faster.
Boom.
The Sea Vessel completely entered through the door and then crashed into the interior of the Green Dimension, surrounded by green on all sides—up, down, left, right, front, and back—though the green ahead kept shifting.
Inside Interdimensional Space, the Sea Vessel lost its propulsion, but Ace's flames continued to jet out, allowing the Sea Vessel to slowly advance within the space.
Creak.
The spatial door gradually closed, and the entire Sea Vessel vanished from sight.
"Disappeared?"
Kizaru observed this scene with some surprise. But without the Sea Vessel, what should they do now?
"And that giant beast is still out there."
Kizaru immediately tracked Xiaqiu's movements, following closely behind.
“Sea Vessel should move to the left front.”
Xiaqiu was not worried at the bottom of the sea; the direction of Sea Vessel was completely different from his own. According to the island locations he had recorded, they would make a direct ninety-degree turn towards Doldrums, while he would pull Kizaru further away.
After covering some distance and taking Kizaru away, Xiaqiu would dive into the deep sea and return to the interior of the island in Doldrums.
Kizaru, however, remained oblivious, closely following behind, getting further away.
Meanwhile, Sea Vessel sailed towards the left front, turning towards Doldrums, completely distancing itself from Kizaru.
“How long has it been? Can we shake off Kizaru?”
Christmas gritted her teeth as she leaned over the bow of the ship, her expression exceptionally grim. The space she could open was limited, so she had to keep expanding it.
If it were just one person or a few people, it would be manageable.
But this was a Sea Vessel, fifty meters long, with a mast reaching forty meters high and sixteen meters wide.
For Christmas, it was somewhat strenuous.
“It’s been four minutes.”
Nami said, “Our speed has greatly decreased in Interdimensional Space. In these four minutes, we’ve only moved a thousand meters. Mr. Xia is moving faster; he’s probably covered around three thousand meters. Plus, since we’ve turned ninety degrees, our straight-line distance is about sixteen kilometers. Given the visibility in this area, we can’t see that far.”
“But he might have Observation Haki.”
Christmas gritted her teeth and said, “The farther we shake him off, the greater the distance we create. Once we enter Doldrums, we’ll push forward with all our strength.”
Moreover, the longer they held on, the better others would recover. Even if Kizaru continued to pursue them, they could still endure for a while longer.
After holding on for another two minutes, Christmas could no longer endure. Gritting his teeth, he opened a door and collapsed onto the ground.
The Sea Vessel entered the ocean, continuing to sail smoothly into the Doldrums.
As the distance grew, they gradually began to relax.
It was estimated that they were now over ten kilometers apart, making it impossible for anyone to pursue them.
However, at that moment, Luffy couldn't help but shiver and said, "It's so cold! Why is it so cold?"
"Hmm?"
Nami felt the change in the surrounding atmosphere and couldn't help but furrow her brow. "Why has the temperature dropped? How could the climate in the Doldrums change so drastically?"
Whoosh.
A figure burst out of the cabin, shouting loudly, "It's Aokiji! Heart Point!"
"Aokiji?"
Nico Robin looked at Ace, who was already standing at the bow of the ship.
In the next moment, the Surface of the Sea began to freeze at a visible speed, rapidly approaching the Sea Vessel.
"Flame Strike."
Ace leaped high into the air, flames igniting from his arm as he shot towards the Surface of the Sea.
Just as the ice was about to touch them, the flames melted it away, spreading outward and resisting the encroaching chill.
“Fire Phoenix.”
Ace leaped high into the air, standing at the very top of Sea Vessel, his arms transforming into wings as he swept them left and right.
Ace's head morphed into the Phoenix Head, extending forward, causing the layers of ice ahead to shatter. A vast open area formed in front of the Sea Vessel.
The Sea Vessel continued its advance, but the Surface of the Sea kept freezing, spreading once again towards this side.
To prevent the Surface of the Sea from expanding, Ace had no choice but to unleash flames to counter it. Although they were at a stalemate, it was difficult for Ace to melt the ice on a large scale.
Aokiji’s ability was freezing; it wasn’t just about releasing ice but also about emitting cold air, directly controlling the temperature to drop.
Ace’s power was fire, not heating; it relied on the heat emitted by flames to dissolve.
He melted the ice and raised the temperature of the seawater by releasing flames, but when he came into contact with the seawater, it absorbed a significant amount of heat.
His heating ability was fundamentally different from Aokiji’s cooling ability.
Aokiji’s Ice Fruit allowed him to turn himself into ice or release freezing air, akin to Flame Fruit and the Heat-Heat Fruit.
Thus, while Ace resisted Aokiji’s attacks, he could only maintain his position.
Moreover, Aokiji had developed his powers slightly more than Ace, so he managed to freeze the surrounding sea area while still holding his ground against Ace.
“This isn’t going to work.”
With a grim expression, Ace realized he didn’t know how many opponents there were and had no choice but to resort to that method. Just then, a shadow shot through the air and landed on the Stern, preparing to leap into the sky.
“Trying to sneak attack?”
Zoro charged forward, his three swords drawn, shooting towards his opponent.
Bang.
As Zoro made contact, he was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground, one of his broken swords falling through the air.
In the moment he landed, his opponent continued to ascend, and Eight appeared, unleashing the Six Blades.
However, the opponent disregarded everything and suddenly stepped forward, landing on the tip of one of Eight's blades, propelling themselves into the air once more.
"I won't let you pass."
Sanji leaped up, his right leg igniting with fierce flames as he kicked towards the opponent.
Bang.
The opponent retaliated with a kick of their own. Sanji's expression changed as pain surged through him; it felt as if his right leg had shattered, and he fell from the sky.
"Die."
The figure approached Ace, a blade shimmering with golden light in the air, slashing towards him.
"Get down here."
A figure blocked Ace's path, striking forward.
Boom.
The two figures revealed their presence.
The one who launched the surprise attack was Peach Rabbit, while the one blocking was Sabo.
Sabo's right hand, infused with Armament Haki, intercepted Peach Rabbit's long sword, but it was Peach Rabbit's blade that was above, and his hand that was below.
Peach Rabbit swung her sword, using the force to propel herself backward, while Sabo sank down due to the impact.
With a step.
Just as Peach Rabbit flew out, she kicked off in mid-air and leaped up.
Boom.
After Peach Rabbit vacated that position, Heckler appeared there and threw a punch, but it missed completely.
Peach Rabbit then landed a leg on Heckler's head and leaped again, running off into the distance.
"This woman."
Heckler and Sabo slowly descended, watching the tall figure in the distance with a hint of confusion.
Sabo's dragon claw hand aimed to grasp her sword, but she seemed to move just a moment too soon, slashing at his hand instead and then using that momentum to soar into the air.
Not only that, but Heckler's attack was also evaded by her.
With one strike failing, Peach Rabbit immediately retreated, slowly descending in the distance.
As she touched down, Ace opened his mouth and exhaled a burst of flames.
However, just as the flames were about to reach her, an ice wall shot up from the ground, blocking her path.
The flames melted the ice wall, and as the steam rose and dissipated, two figures appeared in the distance.
Aokiji and Peach Rabbit.
"It really is him."
Nico Robin stood there, frowning as memories of her childhood encounter with Aokiji flooded back. He had frozen Sakuro, and ever since then, Sakuro had vanished without a trace.
Yet he had saved her, allowing her to leave.
"Aokiji, is it just the two of you?"
Ace slowly descended, standing at the bow of the ship as he spoke to Aokiji.
"That's right. We arrived first, but I didn't expect to actually catch up with you."
Aokiji replied, "This is quite troublesome; we have to fight you. Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit has rushed here with everything she has."
"Vivi, come out here."
Peach Rabbit shouted loudly.
"Master."
Vivi slowly stepped forward, looking at Peach Rabbit with a pained expression.
"Are you being coerced? If so, tell me, and I'll kill them and rescue you."
Peach Rabbit declared loudly.
Hearing this, Vivi's eyes filled with tears. At this moment, her master still hoped that she was being coerced.
But the more she thought about it, the less she could deceive herself.
So, wiping away her tears, Vivi said, "I'm sorry, Master. I am not being forced. Perhaps that was the case at first, but once I realized what was happening, I could no longer extricate myself."
"Is that so?"
Peach Rabbit sighed and said, "Then I can only kill you myself."
"Kill? Just the two of you?" Sabo said coldly from where he stood.
"Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, Sabo."
Aokiji spoke slowly, "I never expected the Revolutionary Army to be involved in this matter. And Nico Robin, Baroque Works told me you had been eaten by a giant beast, yet the intelligence department revealed you are with the Revolutionary Army. It seems they are covering for you; you must be a bridge between Baroque Works and the Revolutionary Army."
"You are correct."
Nico Robin smiled and replied, "I am indeed in contact with them."
"I see."
Aokiji nodded and said, "It seems there are now several reasons for taking action."
"Aokiji, accept your fate."
Ace stood firm and declared, "With just the two of you, you don't have the ability to stop us."
"You're not wrong."
Aokiji looked around at everyone and said, "With Ace and Sabo here, it will be somewhat difficult for us to take you down. But how long can you hold out? Kizaru will eventually find his way here, and the Naval Headquarters will send people as well. As long as we can trap you, that will be enough."
Upon hearing this, Ace and the others turned pale.
His abilities were incredibly strong, and after a prolonged battle, neither Ace nor Sabo could defeat him.
Ace's powers were countered by his, making it harder for him to deal with Aokiji than to withstand Kizaru's attacks.
Sabo's abilities would have little effect; he could only rely on physical combat.
Adding Peach Rabbit into the mix, if they wanted to, they could keep them trapped for a long time.
"Then we can only..."
Ace thought of a plan, but just then, the ice cracked from another direction as a Sea Vessel approached.
"Who goes there?"
Everyone turned to look in the distance as a Pirate Ship slowly drew near, breaking through the ice layers until it was not far away.
"The Beast Pirates, Drought Jack."
Ace's expression darkened as he spotted the figure standing atop the ship in the distance.
"You killed Doflamingo and took Caesar; Kaido is very angry."
Jack looked over at them with a fierce expression and said, "So we can only kill you."
“Are they coming for us?”
Sabo clenched his fist. Jack's name was quite notorious; as one of the Disasters, his strength was unquestionable.
“Oh, Aokiji, you’re here.”
A flash of light appeared in the distance, and a figure emerged beside Aokiji, smiling as he said, “If it weren't for seeing the ice here, I might have been carried away by that giant beast.”
Kizaru stood next to Aokiji, observing the scene.
Two Admirals, one Vice Admiral, along with Drought Jack and his Pirate Crew members.
Such power was indeed terrifying.
