Chapter 369: Aokiji Versus Big Mom
What terrified the guard even more was the countless other beasts, as large as the bear or even larger, that stood behind it!
"Run!"
"Quick, run!"
"I—"
Boom!
The giant bear swiped down with its paw, turning the guard into a bloody pulp.
Its nose twitched slightly after smelling the bloody scent coming from its palm, making it even more fierce.
"Roar!"
The giant bear roared and then rushed towards the crowd in the distance, slaughtering them wantonly.
At this moment, it was not just the giant bear that attacked the Water 7.
Dense giant beasts came from all directions to enjoy this gluttonous feast.
The whole city was instantly plunged into unprecedented chaos!
Even if it was just a test, the crisis triggered by Golden Lion was far more threatening than the countless pirates who attacked the city before!
"So, this is the mutated animal?!"
Big Mom looked at the giant beast below, which was as big as a giant, extremely ferocious, and was even difficult for ordinary marine officers to take down.
A trace of greed flashed in her eyes.
Such a giant beast already has the power to compete with ordinary giants.
And the number of giant beasts living on the floating island of Golden Lion is probably close to five digits.
This force was enough for Golden Lion to carve out a large chunk of territory in the New World, which is now occupied by the four emperors.
It can be said that as long as Golden Lion wants, there can be a fifth emperor in the New World.
What he lacks is only some high-end combat power that can serve as a deputy.
"For sale?!"
"Let's talk about it after this matter is over."
Golden Lion raised his hand and removed the cigar from his mouth. A hint of smugness appeared in his eyes.
But this smugness quickly turned into astonishment: "Is that guy... The kid who followed Garp back then?!"
Big Mom followed along Golden Lion's line of sight.
Then, she saw a thin figure with both hands pressed on the ground. The cold air spread and instantly froze the approaching beasts into ice sculptures.
There was also an ice wall as high as tens of meters rising from the ground, blocking countless beasts on the periphery.
"This is... Aokiji?!"
Big Mom recognized the man's identity in an instant: "Don't underestimate that guy."
"Twenty years have passed. Zephyr has retired, Sengoku has been promoted to Fleet Admiral, and the little brat who used to follow Garp around has now become a successor to the admiral position."
"There are even rumors that the three admirals in the Marines in this era may be the strongest three admirals in history!"
"And he is one of them!"
"Huh?!"
Golden Lion raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
He was about to make a move when he noticed several figures flying from a distance.
The leading figure had wings on his back, and an overwhelming momentum surged around him, subtly pulling red lightning from the air.
It was Gawain and his group who received the alarm and came to help!
Golden Lion instantly changed his target and flew towards Gawain: "I'll leave Aokiji to you. I'll try tonight's main dish first!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"That guy is mine!"
Big Mom was furious. Just as she was about to chase him, several ice cones shot past her.
Her face instantly turned cold: "Even if you are a Marine admiral, you should know what the title of emperor means in this sea!"
"Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill your wish!"
"Zeus!"
As her voice fell to the ground, the thundercloud supporting Big Mom twisted and deformed, and in an instant, it turned into a lightning sword.
She held it in her hand and then slashed it heavily towards Aokiji!
"God of Lightning Tenjin!"
The overwhelming attack approached, and the lightning nearly filled Aokiji's entire field of view.
Seeing such a scene, Aokiji did not have any fear in his eyes. At this point, he had no way to retreat.
No, it wasn't that he had no way to retreat, but that he couldn't retreat because there were countless civilians from the Water 7 behind him!
"Since you want chaos, let's make it a world-shattering one!"
Aokiji completely cast aside his identity as an admiral, and even if he fought with the emperor, he had no intention of giving in.
The cold current surged, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed and gathered. Then, a huge bird made of ice with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters quickly formed behind Aokiji.
The ice bird flapped its wings and collided violently with the oncoming lightning.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"
Lightning and ice met in mid-air!
Boom!
After the earth-shaking collision, countless water vapor rose up, covering everything visible in the field of vision.
But this water vapor, which was enough to blind ordinary people, had no meaning for the two people who were proficient in Observation Haki.
A fierce fight was about to break out!
The lightning blade and the ice sword collided dozens of times in the air in an instant, and the dissipated force made the ground under the feet of the two collapse, and the cracks spread all the way to a range of hundreds of meters.
"Is this for real?!"
"Is that guy's strength really this strong?"
Franky, who had just stepped into the battlefield and struggled to repel a mutated animal, looked at Aokiji and Big Mom fighting in the distance; he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Paulie, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes: "Speaking of which, I always feel that I have seen that face somewhere..."
"Wait!"
"I remember!"
"It's Aokiji!"
"Admiral Aokiji, one of the three highest combat powers of the Marines, is a monster with the combat power to fight against emperors and even repel them!"
"Mr. Lancelot is really from the Marines?"
"Did we misunderstand him?!"
Boom!
A mantis that was as big as a giant bear and stood up flew through the air, and its forelimbs, like a giant sword, tore the ground apart.
Franky and the others quickly focused on dealing with the enemy in front of them, but they were still completely suppressed by them.
"What's the matter with these beasts?!"
"With this kind of power, even the pirates we've fought before, with bounties in the tens of millions or even close to a hundred million, are far inferior. And the number of them is terrifying."
Franky spat out a mouthful of saliva, and his body was a little weak at this time. His once high and mighty hair drooped down as if all his strength had been drained.
"Bad news, there's not enough cola left for energy!"
Just as the words landed, a shadow lunged at Franky. It was the giant mantis that had passed by earlier, and its sharp forelimbs slashed toward Franky like a fast-moving sword.
If this attack landed, even his modified body wouldn't be able to withstand it!
"Franky!"
Paulie exclaimed, and he almost saw the scene of Franky dying tragically in front of him.
But at this moment.
Hu!
A sharp wind rushed through the air, leaving countless intersecting scratches on the ground.
Before Paulie could even see who had made the move, the giant mantis attacking Franky was torn apart in mid-air into several pieces.
Puff!
The smelly body fluids splashed and fell on Franky, but at this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So you're here?!"
"Of course."
Gin, covered with bones, led the White Knight Pirate's crew to join the battlefield.
Bullets, flying slashes, charging cheetahs, burning kicks…
The combined might of them quickly subdued the beasts' offensive, buying time for the civilians to retreat.
