One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

"This, this is..."

As soon as he heard the sound, Aokiji knew something was wrong. His ice wall was nearly destroyed, and it wasn't just from Quinn's impact.

Brachiosaurus bombs are powerful, but even Aokiji can't defend against them effortlessly. However, Quinn shouldn't have been able to destroy the ice wall so easily. 

Not only was the ice wall shattered, but Aokiji was also struck by a strong force. In that moment, he noticed flames on Quinn's body.

"That is..." Aokiji quickly realized the flames were from King.

"Hmph, you didn't see this coming, Aokiji," King said with a smile, flames burning on his palm.

It turned out Quinn had carried many explosives. When he hit the ice wall, they scattered, and King used his flames to detonate them, creating a massive explosion.

This powerful force instantly destroyed Aokiji's ice wall, and the explosion continued, shattering the ice wall completely.

The explosive power left Aokiji flustered. The intense heat hit his face, and the surrounding high temperatures began to burn his skin.

"Damn it, I didn't expect them to pull this off and cause so much damage," Aokiji thought to himself.

Since Quinn was carrying the powerful explosives, he was closest to the blast. Although he scattered the explosives on impact, he was still the one who suffered more from the explosion compared to Aokiji.

Aokiji never expected them to resort to this tactic against him, but he had to admit their cooperation was effective in injuring him.

The explosion's force embarrassed Aokiji. Unlike Quinn, his clothes were badly damaged, and his skin and flesh in several places were torn open, blood flowing from the wounds.

"Aokiji!"

Benjamin shouted loudly. Despite being far away, he rushed to Aokiji's aid as quickly as possible, using his devil fruit power.

The explosion produced a lot of smoke, which completely enveloped this area, but even if they couldn't see the situation clearly, Quinn, King and Jack were quite convinced that Aokiji was definitely injured in this continuous explosion.

"Quin, Jack, get ready to kill him!" King commanded from the air.

"Got it!" Jack replied, launching his attack.

"Don't worry, we will completely kill him next!" Quinn roared confidently. His explosives not only packed explosive power but also emitted corrosive liquid.

Although Quinn himself was attacked by these corrosive liquids, he had prepared the corresponding neutralizers long ago, and the explosion only caused him some pain, but it didn't even blister his skin.

"Roar!"

Jack, in his mammoth form, charged through the smoke, using his Zoan senses to track Aokiji's location by scent rather than sight.

Zoan can usually track the enemy through smell, so Jack can clearly know the location of Aokiji without needing his eyes.

"Ice Cross!"

With the sound of Aokiji's voice, two ice blades condensed in the air and shot out across each other, directly hitting Jack in the face.

"Hmph, struggling to the end, it's just a tickle!"

 Aokiji's attack did not cause any harm to himself. Jack thought that Aokiji was seriously injured and weak, so he immediately mocked.

To everyone's surprise, right after Jack finished speaking, the two intersecting ice blades extended in different directions and plunged into the ground, halting Jack's advance and nearly causing him to fall.

"Damn it, it can still move like that," Jack cursed immediately.

Seizing the opportunity, Aokiji quickly retreated, maintaining a safe distance, while Benjamin hurriedly reached him.

"Aokiji, are you okay?" Benjamin asked with concern. He saw that Aokiji's injuries were serious.

"It's okay, this injury is nothing, but I really didn't expect that they would come up with such a way to deal with me." Aokiji said lightly, although the injury has a certain impact on him, but it is not enough to make him fall

"Their defenses are too strong. I think they're feeling the pressure, so they resorted to this," Benjamin said, glancing at Jack and the others.

"Arara, they must be worried about their captain Kaido, so they're desperate to defeat me. But they underestimate me if they think they can," Aokiji said, looking contemptuous.

Aokiji was caught completely off guard just now. He hadn't anticipated their move. However, in terms of strength, Aokiji wasn't afraid of the three of them at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Enel to help other commanders and would have faced the trio alone.

"Don't worry about me. I'll finish them next. You go ahead and leave," Aokiji assured Benjamin.

Seeing that Aokiji was still full of confidence and Benjamin had nothing to worry about, he immediately left the area.

Aokiji faced Quinn and the others again, his expression indifferent and calm. With contempt, he said to the three of them, "Next, let's finish this quickly. Come at me together."

"Hmph, you're seriously injured and still talk big. Our crew will show you what real cruelty is!" Jack yelled at Aokiji, looking defiant.

Aokiji didn't speak any more, and saw his eyes gradually become cold. The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

"Gone?" Jack exclaimed in surprise.

"No, Jack, get away!" King's urgent voice came from above, but it was too late for Jack. Aokiji had already closed in on him in an instant.

Jack flicked his trunk in surprise, swinging it like a steel whip. However, Aokiji paid it no mind, effortlessly dodging it and placing a hand directly on Jack's head.

"Ice Time!"

Aokiji's indifferent voice rang out as an extremely cold breath surged from his palm. It instantly froze a portion of Jack's head, and the cold continued to spread, freezing more and more of Jack's body...
