Chapter 243: Disappearance of Jiger
After Kizaru and Akainu broke free, they immediately dragged their injured bodies and attacked Roger with Aokiji and others.
Roger gritted his teeth and stood up. The burden brought to him by the Nika form became heavier and heavier, and the black flame cloud ribbons on his body began to become faintly visible.
Rayleigh arrived with a group of pirates to help them resist the attack from Kizaru and others.
Barrett was not among them. When Akainu launched an attack on Roger just now, he was already at the end of his strength. He was pierced through the chest by Kizaru and fell to the ground seriously injured.
At this time, Rayleigh held a knife in each hand, one of which was Roger's sword Ace.
Ace does not have independent consciousness like Muramasa. Just now, when Roger entered the giant state, Ace broke away from his hands, fell to the ground, and randomly stabbed a lucky pirate to death, and then was picked up by Rayleigh.
Compared to the one-sword style, Rayleigh's two-sword style was a bit clumsy. While helping Roger to fend off the navy's attack, he shouted,
"Roger! Can you still hold on?"
Roger took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice,
"Give me Ace."
Although Rayleigh didn't know what he needed Ace for with Roger's huge body, he still found the right opportunity to jump and throw Ace towards Roger.
Roger raised his hand and grabbed Ace in his hand.
Then, he swung his hand violently, and a hundred-meter-long sword that matched his body size was swung out like a whip and immediately straightened.
Looking at the magnified Ace in his hand, Roger raised the corners of his mouth and said softly,
"Sure enough, you and I are the best match."
After saying this, Roger grinned.
Seeing Roger's familiar smile, a trance appeared in Rayleigh's eyes.
Crack!
The domineering lightning wrapped around Ace's blade, and the black flame cloud behind Roger instantly solidified. He shouted,
"Rayleigh! Get out of here now!! Don't forget what I entrusted to you!"
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh dodged without hesitation and rushed towards where Shanks and Buggy were.
Seeing this, Akainu and the others did not choose to chase. They had only one thought in mind, which was to kill Roger.
From the beginning of the battle to now, Shanks and Buggy have never encountered any powerful opponents, but have been constantly surrounded by waves of navy soldiers.
Rayleigh rushed into the encirclement, grabbed one with each arm, and brought the two out.
During this period, Roger kept an eye on Rayleigh. When he saw Rayleigh meet up with Shanks and Buggy, he finally felt relieved.
With one slash of his sword, Roger cut a huge gully in the ice, and sea water poured out. Akainu and the others were all people with special abilities, and they all jumped up to avoid it. Only Aokiji stayed where he was and released frost to freeze a large area of sea water, creating a place for others to stay.
Aokiji's head was covered with fine beads of sweat. In this war, he played a really important role and could be regarded as the best assistant.
But he is still young after all, and his fruit has not yet awakened. Using his ability on such a large scale is seriously depleting his physical strength.
When Akainu and the others fell onto the solid ice, Aokiji was already kneeling on one knee, panting. Aramaki fell beside him and reached out to help him up.
Looking at the pale Aokiji, Huangmu was worried, but he said,
"Hey, why are you so weak? Are you okay?"
Aokiji put one hand on Huangmu's shoulder and the other on his knee. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and said,
"Of course! But Jiger-senpai..."
As he spoke, Aokiji looked towards the ice cave where Jiger disappeared. Navy soldiers kept popping their heads out of the sea water in the ice cave, taking a breath, and then immediately dived into the icy sea water again. They were all trying their best to search for Jiger.
Lucia's body was trembling. When Jiger's figure disappeared in the ice cave, she jumped into the sea like crazy. But she was a person with special abilities after all. Once she entered the sea, she lost all her strength. Finally, she was rescued by a female soldier under her command.
After recovering some strength, she used the flames to dry the water droplets on her body and joined the battle.
But until now, Jiger still hadn't come up, and Lucia felt even colder inside.
Now that Huangmu brought it up again, she could no longer bear it. The purple flame of desire burned from her body. She tightly grasped the Zhuimin, flapped her wings, and flew towards Roger rapidly.
"Give the young master back to me!!!"
At this moment, no one would care about how Lucia addressed Jiger. The moment Lucia rushed out, Akainu and others immediately followed and attacked Roger again.
However, this time they were blocked by an invisible force in front of Roger and could not move forward.
At this moment, the space where Roger was located was already filled with lightning produced by the Conqueror's Haki. He looked down at Akainu and the others calmly, and finally fixed his gaze on the bear, and said softly,
"As a descendant of the Bakanniah tribe, you actually sided with the World Government. You are a sinner of the Bakanniah tribe!"
Xiong Zheng was constantly slapping out bear paw-shaped bubbles in an attempt to break through Roger's blockade of domineering color. Hearing these words, he suddenly looked up at Roger, with flames of hatred burning in his eyes.
"I just want to stand with Brother Jiger. He is the Nika in my heart! I only fight for him!!"
Roger was stunned for a moment and said,
"He is Nika? Then what am I?"
The bear raised his hands high, compressed a huge bear paw bubble, and roared,
"You are just a bastard who wants to mess up the world!"
After saying that, he pushed out the bear paw bubble that had been compressed to the extreme, and after it collided with Roger's domineering color, a violent explosion occurred.
Roger stood in the blast wave in confusion. After a moment, he shook his head and said to himself,
"Hopeless..."
As he spoke, he slowly lifted Ace up, and the surrounding Conqueror Lightning seemed to be guided by something and all gathered on the tip of Ace's sword.
The domineering aura surrounding Roger dissipated, and he whispered indifferently,
"It's time to put the world back on track, using this method..."
boom!
Before Roger finished his words, the entire ice layer suddenly trembled violently. His face changed, as if he had realized something, and he suddenly looked towards the ice cave where Jiger disappeared.
The sea water in the cave had turned pitch black at some point and was surging violently.
Then, the surrounding ice seemed to be swallowed up, the area of the ice cave continued to expand, and several black water tornadoes shot up into the sky, throwing out all the naval soldiers who had gone down to search and rescue. After they fell to the ground, they all had looks of fear on their faces.
