Chapter 175: 175. Rob: I Haven't Fought For A Long Time, My Body Is Rusty!
"I will only use one attack!"
Rob looked calmly at Aokiji and Akainu, holding a cup of magic tea in his hand:
"As long as you can withstand my one sword strike and survive, I won't kill you! If you can't take it and die under my sword, you should have no complaints! That's it, get ready!"
His voice fell.
Shinto uttered a clear and pleasant sword chant, and Rob's Armament Haki, like a wave, directly wrapped around the body of Shinto, merging with the monstrous aura emanating from it, which was extremely dazzling!
An extremely terrifying edge and oppressive force directly shrouded Akainu and Aokiji, making them feel uneasy, like needles on their backs, subconsciously wanting to distance themselves from Rob!
However, both Akainu and Aokiji were very clear that when fighting Rob, keeping a distance was meaningless. It was even very likely that Rob would directly defeat them both the moment they retreated!
Retreat?
It was absolutely impossible to retreat.
Only move forward!
This was the only way to receive Rob's attack.
Without any words or eye contact, at almost the same time, Aokiji and Akainu, under the oppression of Rob's momentum, immediately made a direct move to seize the upper hand.
In an instant, using Shave, the figures of Akainu and Aokiji were directly in front of Rob. Billowing magma and an extremely cold air directly brought the temperature difference reaction of Rob Ultimate!
"Hoo-"
Watching the two of them not backing down, taking the initiative to attack him.
The corners of Rob's mouth turned upward;
"Seizing the opportunity? It's a very good idea! It's just that - such a thing as an opportunity is only useful among opponents of the same level! Between the two of you and me, there is a world of difference.
"The levels are different, and it will be useless to seize the opportunity!"
While speaking, Rob slightly raised the Shinto in his hand, already stepping into the posture of attacking.
And at this moment——
"Dark Hound!"
Akainu poured all his strength into the next move, not choosing the most powerful one, but the one with the fastest attack speed and equally impressive attack quality.
An arm directly turned into a magma dog's head, instantly bombarding Rob's head at an extremely terrifying speed.
At the same time——
The choices of Aokiji and Akainu were exactly the same; instead of using their strongest attacks, they used their fastest ones.
Terrible cold gathered on Aokiji's arms:
"Ice Time!"
The timing of their attacks was extremely ingenious. The cold air released by Aokiji was in front, and even though there was still some distance, the air in front of Rob had already started to freeze, trying to reach and freeze Rob's body.
Aokiji wanted to use this trick to block all of Rob's movements, creating the most suitable attack timing for Akainu, a Magma-Magma Fruit user with stronger attack power, so he could deal the greatest damage.
But what neither Aokiji nor Akainu expected was that all the cold energy released by Aokiji was easily blocked a meter away by the Armament Haki erupting from Rob's body!
After realizing this, Aokiji chose to attack indiscriminately without hesitation, no longer focusing his attack on Rob.
At the same time, Akainu also punched out his magma fist with all his strength without hesitation.
Seeing the two attack without hesitation, the corners of Rob's mouth turned upward;
"Phantomless Blade!"
The moment the voice fell.
Slowly but with real speed, the Shinto in Rob's hand slashed towards the air that had been frozen by Aokiji's cold in front of him.
This slash was unremarkable yet possessed unparalleled strength!
It was what Rob could execute after persistent practice, without any Devil Fruit abilities, just using Armament Haki and his pure sword skills!
At the moment of the slash, everything in front of Rob—the frozen air, the cold released by Aokiji, and the magma fist punched by Akainu—was all split open like a mirror.
The figures of Akainu and Aokiji froze in the air for a moment!
Both of them turned white-eyed, vomited blood, and flew out with the force of the slash, losing all consciousness while still in the air.
At the same time, a large amount of blood gushed out from their bodies, and the deep bone wounds showed that Akainu and Aokiji had entered a dying state of life at that moment!
Above the sky in the distance, the thick cloud layer was directly split open by a huge hole at this moment!
It looked like the sky itself was split by Rob!
After a while, all the actions came to an end.
Rob, who swung the sword, let out a long breath of foul air.
"It's been a long time since I've done anything! It looks like my body is rusty too! The power of this sword is not what I expected!"
While speaking, Rob tactfully turned Shinto in his hand, and after bringing out a cold light, he put the sword back into its sheath.
He glanced at the big pit on the ice in the distance, where Akainu and Aokiji lay dying and completely unconscious, then turned his head to look at the four Aquarius behind him.
"Take all the Marines who are alive! Then organize the troops and prepare to return to the Paradise archipelago!"
Hearing Rob's words, the four Aquarius people bowed and took orders:
"Yes, master!"
Quickly, the four seraphs acted, imprisoning all the Marine generals and soldiers, and then prepared the four heavenly warships and the Marine warships used to transport the captives.
An hour later, in the broken channel, the four heavenly warships dragged the navigable Marine warships gradually away from the ice-covered Hive Island and the sea near the Hive Island.
At the same time—
In the waters of the Paradise Islands, broken Marine warships, carrying a large number of injured Marines, were evacuating from the ten sea areas that had just caused them to suffer a crushing defeat!
On board a warship of the retreating Marines, Kizaru, wearing a striped suit and sunglasses with battle marks on his face and body, held a Den Den Mushi, waiting to report the situation to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
"On the twelve outer islands of the Paradise Islands, there are extremely powerful sea and air firepower. They are not traditional artillery but various high-end firepower such as air cannons, flame runners, and electromagnetic guns!"
Kizaru had a lazy expression on his face as he spoke:
"On the twelve islands, except for four of them, the remaining eight islands all have very powerful auras! Although I took Vice Admiral Momousagi and Vice Admiral Chaton to charge up."
"But we were blocked by two women! Vice Admiral Momousagi and Vice Admiral Chaton were also blocked by a woman each! I think that there are twelve equally powerful foes here in the Paradise Islands!"
"Sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I really tried my best! But there is still no way to break through the defense of the outer islands of the Paradise Islands, so I can only retreat with the troops!"
After hearing Kizaru's report, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face darkened, and a solemn expression flashed in his eyes.
"Can it stop you, and can it stop Gion and Tokikake? From your point of view, those powerful women should be far beyond the level of Vice Admiral!"
He pondered for a while.
Kizaru, unusually serious, replied:
"No! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I think their strength should be comparable to Admirals! It's just strange that such strong individuals have not mastered Haki."
"If they master Haki, they could match the combat power of our three Admirals at Naval Headquarters, and battles involving more than two of them at the same time would increase exponentially!"
"And they don't seem to have any emotions of fear or hesitation. They are completely like fighting machines, or even killing weapons, which makes their threat level rise even higher!"
Hearing Kizaru's words, Sengoku's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself:
"Fighting machines...killing weapons?"
"Could it be that... these are similar to the developments and research in the science department? If this is the case, then the power that Rob possesses is too terrifying!"
Quickly, Sengoku came back to his senses and said:
"I understand! Thank you for your efforts. Return as soon as possible, Borsalino."
After advising Kizaru, Sengoku hung up the call with a frown, troubled thoughts swirling in his mind.
If it is true that the "combat machines" and "killing weapons" that Kizaru mentioned can fight against one Admiral of Headquarters, and Rob has a total of twelve such combat forces under his command, it would be extremely terrifying.
Sengoku was vaguely worried.
He said gravely:
"If there are really twelve special combat forces, and eight remain in the Paradise Islands, then there are four more, and they should be with Rob on Beehive Island! Akainu and Aokiji should be fine, right?"
With this troubling thought, Sengoku picked up the den den mushi and dialed the number of the warship of Akainu and Aokiji directly.
After a while, the den den mushi connected.
Sengoku narrowed his eyes when the other side didn't speak first.
Especially after looking at the phone bug and seeing those flat, indifferent eyes reflecting the situation in real time, Sengoku's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
