Chapter 1245 Negligence

Not long ago, the surging and unstoppable tsunami swept in like a ferocious beast, and the turbulent waves continuously hit the Desolo. The huge ship was shaky in the stormy waves and was almost completely overturned several times.

At this critical moment, Ah Er and other crew members were extremely anxious. After a short and intense discussion, they made an extremely bold and risky decision - to release Aokiji who was imprisoned at the bottom of the cabin.

Because they knew very well that only Aokiji, who possessed powerful ice abilities, could freeze the sea water in such harsh conditions and prevent the Great Desolo from sinking.

However, these people are not brainless. They are aware of the unfathomable strength of Aokiji, and if they rashly release him and give him complete freedom, the consequences may be disastrous.

So, they came up with what they thought was a clever plan: they captured another master on the ship, Yixiao, and planned to use him as a hostage to force Aokiji to obey their orders.

Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner according to plan. When they carefully opened the hatch where Aokiji was imprisoned, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Then, they slowly approached Aokiji, tightly grasping the chain that locked Yixiao in their hands.

However, no one expected what would happen next.

Just as they untied the seastone chains that bound Aokiji, an indescribable chill suddenly broke out.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Desolo was covered by a thick layer of ice, as if it had turned into a huge iceberg.

What's worse is that those who tried to control the situation, including A'er, were unfortunately frozen in the solid ice.

Their bodies were unable to move, and they could only watch helplessly as they were trapped. The only part that could still move was their mouths, which could continue to curse.

Aokiji walked slowly past those people with an indifferent look on his face. He held the food he had just found tightly in his hand, then opened his mouth without hesitation and chewed it voraciously. At this moment, for Aokiji, nothing was more important than recovering his strength as soon as possible.

He looked down at the hideous wounds on his body, frowned slightly, and then used his devil fruit ability - the ice fruit. An extremely cold breath surged out of his body, quickly spreading to the wounds, and froze them tightly. In this way, the blood flow could be temporarily stopped to prevent the injury from getting worse.

However, this was only a temporary solution. Aokiji knew very well that in order to completely heal these wounds, he needed to wait until he was completely out of danger and found a relatively safe place before he could calm down and deal with them properly.

Before that, he must remain highly vigilant to prevent any further unexpected situations from happening.

"Mr. Yixiao, please eat something." Aokiji said with concern, and gently handed the steaming and fragrant food in his hand to Yixiao.

With this smile, the whole person seemed a little listless. His originally straight back was slightly bent, and his breath seemed quite weak.

Hearing Aokiji's caring words, he smiled and slowly raised his head.

There was a hint of fatigue on his weathered face.

He stretched out his slightly trembling hand and slowly took the food handed to him by Aokiji.

Then, he began to chew the food in small bites at an extremely slow speed.

Every bite seemed to require tremendous effort, but even so, he still insisted on continuing to eat, as if he wanted to restore some physical and mental strength through eating.
