Chapter 1039 Aokiji Appears

At this moment, Kuro, who was teasing Robin for fun, suddenly looked up as if he had noticed something unusual. In an instant, a little scarlet light flashed in his deep eyes, like a burning flame, which looked particularly strange and frightening.

"Ah, it's really lively here." With a slightly teasing voice, everyone was surprised to find that Aokiji's tall figure appeared out of thin air on the right side of Tesoro without any warning. At the same time, his hands exuded bursts of piercing cold air, like two ferocious venomous snakes, grabbing Tesoro's arms at lightning speed!

Just as Aokiji's hands were about to touch Tesoro's arms, a deafening sound suddenly came - "Bang!!!" Then, a huge hand that covered the sky and the sun came slapping like a small hill. Its speed and strength were beyond imagination! In the blink of an eye, this huge hand slapped Aokiji's body firmly.

As the blow hit, Aokiji flew backwards dozens of meters as if he had been hit by a cannonball. Countless ice blocks exploded wherever he passed, turning into flying ice slag that shot everywhere. When the dust settled, people were horrified to see that the originally intact Aokiji had now turned into an ice sculpture with only half of his body, standing quietly in the same place.

"Ah!" With a cry of surprise, Tezulo's face was filled with fear, and his body involuntarily retreated rapidly. At this moment, a huge hand like a palm leaf fan suddenly reached out and tightly grasped his slightly trembling shoulders.

"Hey, I saved you again. But since we have some friendship, I won't double the reward this time." Kuro's low and slightly teasing voice seemed to come from the sky and poured directly into Tesoro's ears. However, before Tesoro could make any response, Kuro had already picked him up mercilessly and threw him behind him like trash. At the same time, Kuro muttered, "Hmph, don't get in the way here!"

Poor Tesoro was thrown far away like a cannonball, while Kuro didn't even look at it, but stared coldly at the broken ice on the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you actually dare to show off such a crude and superficial little trick in front of me? You really overestimate your own abilities!" Kuro raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, and mocked softly.

However, just before he finished speaking, a jaw-dropping scene occurred - the ice blocks that were originally scattered on the ground seemed to have life, and quickly gathered and piled together at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, these ice blocks magically pieced together into a complete human body outline! Looking closely, it was none other than the unfathomable admiral Aokiji of the navy!

"Damn... I didn't expect that you've become even stronger after not seeing you for a while!" Aokiji's face was gloomy, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He stared at Kuro in front of him with vigilance and said with gritted teeth. You know, if he hadn't reacted quickly and transformed his body into elements in time, he would have been hit by Kuro's powerful slap. Thinking of this, Aokiji couldn't help but groan inwardly.

"I really have to thank you, the Navy and the Five Elders, for the tremendous pressure you have put on me! If I hadn't worked so hard to become stronger, I would have been tied up and escorted to that horrifying execution platform by now, right?" Kuro said slowly without changing his expression or exaggerating.

Back then, he was just a little-known character, but with his indomitable will and extraordinary hard work, he finally achieved such a prominent identity and lofty status today. However, because of this, once he unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy, those enemies who hated him would definitely order him to be executed without hesitation to eliminate future troubles. After all, as long as such a powerful and dangerous person like him survived, he would always be a big worry for them.
