Chapter 266
—
A few minutes ago,
Tsumi jumped down from beside Aisa and headed towards the two admirals.
The Green Bull tried to attack him in the air with its super fast vines, but two snake ice dragons jumped onto the vines from the frozen sea, controlled by Aisa, stopping him from touching Tsumi.
Tsumi takes the opportunity to rush to Aokiji who has a frown on her face.
Aokiji stepped on the ground, from where the ice spikes invaded Tsumi with a trembling voice.
Tsumi did not try to dodge the technique and instead stretched out her hand to pick up the ice spikes.
Aokiji noticed, suspicious and confused, as his gloved palm touched the ice— which dissolved into liquid water in an instant .
'... What ?'
For a moment, Aokiji doubted his eyes.
What the hell's going on?
'Did his palm even touch the ice?'
His confusion turned to alarm as the situation deepened in his mind.
Stunned, he saw his human skin turn pale white before he pointed his palm towards him.
Ice-white air circled his arm, before ice spikes leaped out of his hand, just as his skin started to return to normal.
The spikes swarmed towards Aokiji, who tried to command him with his mind, but failed. Frowning, he swung his hand up in the air. Ice rushed out from the ground and clashed with another ice containing haki that charged towards him.
Not all Logia Users can control elements outside their body. Otherwise, any Pika-Pika no Mi user would be able to kill a person standing in natural sunlight. Aokiji was one of that type, and yet, he was still able to control the ice he produced from the start.
That's why she hoped to control the surge that attacked her, because it came from her as far as she understood, but Tsumi seemed to have gained authority over it when she absorbed it. He should be careful…
"That's a great ability, Greed Sin," Aokiji said as Tsumi fell to the ground. "I think you have the Cool-Cool fruit, not the Melt-Melt fruit ."
Tsumi shrugged her shoulders. "The assumption of the dead means nothing."
Then he rushed towards her again.
As Admiral, Tsumi knew Aokiji must be adept at hand-to-hand combat, but he also knows the fact that Logia users rely heavily on their fruit—except for a few exceptions—means there is not much to bet on in this fight. , now he can negate the fruits.
Tsumi drew the sword from her waist. He used to use a sword in every battle in the day before he got his fruits. The sword was replaced with another sword that Amon had given him, but both were destroyed with Skypiea, however, he now had a new one...
He holds the hilt of his sword, Shusui, the legendary black sword once used by the Ryuma— Samurai whose corpse was found in Thriller Bark.
The blade pointed at Aokiji who immediately made a thin sword using his ice, but it was a mistake as the power of Tsumi's demonic fruit flowed through his sword and cut through the ice that turned into water upon contact. His sword then headed towards Aokiji who was careless.
Aokiji could not block the attack and it made a deep incision in his chest, causing blood to gush out from him, as his eyes widened.
He kicked a few steps back, but Tsumi followed.
Seeing that he was not going to let her regain her composure, she covered her body into an igloo of ice to use the time to seal her wound.
But it was another bad mistake when Tsumi touched the igloo with her sword, causing the ice to become water, causing Aokiji's body to weaken. Tsumi took the opportunity and then thrust her sword into Aokiji's heart.
Aokiji's eyes widened as his breathing choked. He had been using this devil fruit for nearly three decades, so all of his fighting style was based on it. With that flawed ability, his fighting strength was greatly reduced. But he was not expected to be injured to this degree just because it was ...
Tsumi did not allow her to think any more than that as she pulled out her sword from her chest.
The legendary black sword pierced through the space between his eyebrows, passing through his shocked eyes, as blood spurted out from Aokiji's heart and head.
Tsumi sighed as she pulled out her sword, at the same time Aokiji's body fell to the ground with a face first.
"Hm," Tsumi looked down at her body. “Maybe I can ask the fruit to Us..”.
He doubted he would listen to her.
—★—
At the same time, with Aisa, the battle was going on. Well, it is not appropriate to call it 'smooth' because there were many rips and rips going on.
Aisa, when she got the chance, had made a few more ice dragons, which easily tore off the incoming vines. If Aokiji had not frozen the sea, it would not have been possible with the water dragon, so it was safe to say that Aokiji was the one responsible for the losses his co-laksaman faced.
Although the thought did not go well because the majestic ice dragon was spinning before its white form turned transparent, liquid.
Green Bull was surprised to hear that.
Did Aokiji have defeated Tsumi, before realizing the problem caused by the ice dragon? That must be why he's melting the sea, right?
Smiling, he looked back hoping to see Aokiji.
But he only saw the bloody corpse of his fellow Laksamanas as his eyes widened.
'Rain…'
Green Bull growled as veins appeared in his head as he tried to find the culprit—sama like.
With a bated breath, Admiral Ryokugyu turned forward to meet the cold silver eyes of a brown haired woman.
"Shouldn't have looked, sir." Said the woman while smiling gently.
Blood came out from the corner of Green Bull's lips.
"How are you…"
How did he come in front of her, undetected?
More important...
"...Ha ha."
He did not think he would be killed by a woman.
“Kurasa die like this is also not too bad.”
Then, he slumped on his back.
Tsumi's face grimaced as she pulled out her sword. “Any.”
Then she ran towards Aisa, “Hei, Aisa, are you okay?”
Aisa cleaned her hands with a mischievous smile. “It was a fight between my dragon and his vines, so we were both physically unharmed. until a while ago.”.
Tsumi giggled at hearing it with a proud expression. He had just taken out two admirals, mostly alone. He had to thank Yona for the sneak technique later...

On the other side of the island, Yamato's fight was only one-sided. No flashy movement, no showing off, and no flashy power-ups. There were only throwing punches and receiving them, or once in ten, dodging them. So it wasn't too surprising when her eyes became empty before she fell down.
Sengoku and Garp barely scratched, on the other hand.
“Sengoku,” said GARP in a low tone as he looked down at Yamato's unconscious head. "Destroy the skull."
Sengoku did not refuse, nor did he nod. Instead, he immediately did his act. His golden body enlarged and he raised his feet above his head.
However, he could not step on his foot as the glowing hot sword flew and struck his neck, making an incision as deep as an inch.
Sengoku was dumbfounded as he lost his footing, stumbling to the side.
The tanned man with long reddish-brown hair had clenched jaws and veins that protruded on his head as he held a weapon that was very familiar with Sengoku.
Whitebeard's late weapon, Murakumogiri.
It was much smaller now, according to the posture of Pride Sin, but it made some old memories appear inside Sengoku.
Wyper was about to strike again with his stolen weapon, but Garp jumped from below, his fists covered in silver haki as he slammed his knuckles into Wyper's jaws, who tried to survive but was thrown a few meters ahead.
Observing, Sengoku rubbed the wound on his neck slowly. Unlike the other Zoan, which had a body of blood and flesh, the Zoan Sengoku form was completely made of gold. It gave him defense on the same level as Kaido, but his healing worked a little differently from the others as his body was made of metal. He poured gold from his right finger, which sank into the wound on his neck and began to fill in the gap, while his thick finger thinned slightly, though barely noticeable.
However, the fact remained that his body was injured to that degree with a single strike.
Melting his Zoan body was not something anyone could do—even, Amon was the only one who did it all Sengoku's life. Even Wyper could not do that in the battle they had experienced before. So he must have drunk that oil or whatever he drank before fighting someone strong.
'Heh...' That's funny. for the dead'.
With a small laugh, he joined the GARP in the battle.
He coated his palm with a shock wave before slamming it into the Wyper's back whose body trembled as he cried out in pain, and at the same time, unleashed a wave of fire on his back. But Sengoku just slapped his head with his big hand, throwing it on the ground away from his weapon.
He raised Wyper's body with one palm, and while Wyper tried to attack again, he pressed the man between his palms.
His golden applause made a deafening sound as Wyper only groaned in response.
Sengoku retrieved Wyper's flat, wide-eyed body from his palm before flicking it into the air, where he flipped several times as Sengoku took aim with his right palm.
As he pushed his palm forward, a destructive shockwave wave, in the form of a continuous palm, left Sengoku's hand and swallowed the Wyper entirely.
From the outside, Sengoku saw the young man's body tremble, tremble, and tremble violently, as if his own existence was trembling.
After a while, the attack ended and Wyper fell to the ground, his eyes empty and his mouth frothy.
“...I see he gets you all excited,” murmured Garp from the side. “A fairly rare sight.”
Sengoku sees Whitebeard's weapon at the side.
"I just don't like the choice of weapons." He said in a cold tone. "He should have fought only with his fists, like last time."
As Sengoku sighed, the sky began to darken as lightning began to strike.
"Did he finally come down?" GARP asked, before shaking his head. "Meh, that's that shitty girl."
Then, a serpent dragon came from afar with its eyes burning golden.
"What did you two do to Wyper and Yamato?" the dragon snorted.
GARP cracked his knuckles. "Let me handle it."
Sengoku shook his head. “Better if we both do. After all, he has more than one devil fruit.”
GARP snorted but still nodded as Sengoku raised his hand into the air and made a grasping gesture. Immediately, a purple rope made of haki appeared in the air and wrapped around Raki's entire gigantic body.
He snorted, and struggled before he realized that he needed to shrink his size to get out.
—★—
The outside world was not in chaos as usual. It was silent, so silent that even fallen leaves could be heard.
People from all over the world were watching on the big screen as the remaining Marines and Enherjar fought.
Everyone, even children, knew this battle would decide the fate of the world.
There are World Government soldiers even if the Marines are defeated, people know that. But they also knew that the soldiers were just for show. Heck, none of them were even as strong as Admiral—The same admiral who could be captured and killed by Amon's Sins in one strike.
“M - mama ?” A boy from the blue east, looking 4 years old, asked his mother who was staring at the big screen. "What would happen if the Pirates won?"
Her mother, a young woman whose husband was a Marine soldier fighting right on the screen, held back her tears as her voice trembled.
" I don't know, don't ask me."
Hearing his words, the boy looked at him. He noticed the teardrops in the corner of his eyes, as his own eyes trembled before he suddenly started crying loudly.
The whole world is in such a state. To the general public, the Pirates are evil, the government is good. So it is clear, very clear, that they fear, fear, and fear get to their core when they accept the tragic possibility that after today, they are, the world may be a slaughterhouse ruled by the tyrant Pirates.
It's not that it hasn't been like that since last year, it's just that, the blood stays on the Grandline, and never reaches the sadness—which few of them know, because Amon himself didn't let him achieve.

The Marines fighting on the island of Hina knew how the whole world depended on them as well. They were suppressed since last week knowing that they had to face literal monsters in battle to the death, moreover knowing the expectations of the people on their weak and fragile shoulders.
However, Hina was not one of them.
Having been brainwashed by Amon almost 5 years ago, he is just following orders even now.
He fought on the Marine side, until Wyper was defeated. He then received Telepati— command that it was time to show his original color.
"V-Vice Admiral ?!"
A naval soldier shouted as Hina's arm passed through her body, black metal forming around her, locking and locking her in the process.
Fruit Cages work like a charm when used to conquer people.
Before the soldier could even fall to the ground, Hina pulled out a gun and shot him in the head as she simply stared ahead with a shocked expression.
Hina was puffing smoke from her cigarette as she looked towards the soldiers who suddenly surrounded her. Even though their faces showed their state of fear.
"W-is that still you, Vice Admiral?" A soldier, who had a Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to fire his bones in the form of bullets, said as he pointed his finger at him tremblingly.
There were dozens of people with demon fruit around as well. Seeing this, Hina dropped her weapon and raised her hand in a surrender motion.
“Be careful, soldier. It's still a hyena. The person that Hina had just shot was a spy from Enherjars.” Hina said, taking a breath out of her cigarette.
“What's your proof?” A vice admiral holding a gun said in a rough voice. “Which we know, you may have been a spy from the beginning. I remember you had chemistry with the Celestial Emperor when he was just a bounty hunter. ”
Hyena took a deep breath. "You ..." He shook his head with his eyes closed before a grin appeared on his face. “...Not wrong.”
The vice admiral sensed danger directly from him and immediately fired his bullet. However, the bullet just passed through his body and came out surrounded by a black cage.
The devil-bone user from before then fired his finger bones one by one, which immediately regenerated, but those bones also came out from the other side of his body, surrounded in a cage.
“A... logic?”
Hina laughed at the question. "It's a simple resurrection."
Then, he spread his hands wide like a circle of black rods, shaped like a wheel, leaving his waist and imprisoning everyone. It even stopped the devil fruit user, a stick that imitated sea stones to a certain degree.
Unceasingly, Hina picked up her weapon and started shooting everyone one by one as well.
After killing all of them, as Hina filled her muzzle, still smoking, she heard a clicking sound, as if a sword had been sheathed as she looked back with a frown.
“More Sins come to this island,”
He saw the back of a bald old man…
"It's time for us to move."
...Before his severed head fell to the ground.
Five Elders had joined the battlefield.
