Chapter 127: Tacit Cooperation (4K)
"That's how it is!"
Rhodes stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, and suddenly there was a burst of air being squeezed.
"No matter what it is, let's talk about it after fist bumping!"
"In this world, everything depends on fists!"
"I see."
Qing Pheasant put away the ice blade in his hand and looked at Rhodes more seriously.
Aokiji had only seen information about Rhodes in newspapers and intelligence reports before. He didn't know much about Rhodes. He only knew that he was a rookie pirate who had just gone to sea and was very popular.
There are many such pirates every year.
It wasn't until he saw Nico Robin's photo in the newspaper and learned that she had joined the Rhodes Pirates that Aokiji began to pay attention to her.
However, it wasn't until this moment, when he saw Rhodes with his own eyes, that Aokiji finally recognized this rising newcomer pirate.
This is a man who has no fear and only believes in his own strength.
"I just wanted to come and see what kind of pirate group accepted Nico Robin."
An extreme chill emanated from Qing Pheasant's body. With his body as the center, all the snowflakes flying around turned into ice crystals and fell from the sky. Suddenly, a sheet of ice was formed on Cigu Island where it snowed all year round. Snowy area.
"But you are indeed dangerous, Not Rhodes!"
Qing Pheasant's eyes were cold.
"Let's kill you all here."
"Don't always talk big words!"
Domineering energy circulates in Rhodes' body, like beating black flames, reflecting his red hair and blue eyes.
The opponent has the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters. Rhodes must go all out as soon as the battle begins.
"I've heard such nonsense too many times!"
Bang--
The ground under Rhodes' feet instantly shattered, and his entire body instantly appeared in front of Qing Zhi, his clenched fist suddenly swung out.
"Ba Fist!!"
The terrifying air waves continued to spread centered around the place where Rhodes punched out his fist. Along with the powerful domineering force, the strong impact almost shattered the space.
"This is really... amazing!"
Feeling the powerful oncoming shock wave, Aokiji's expression remained unchanged, but the aura emanating from his body became colder.
Several icicles appeared out of thin air, condensed together, and formed a huge ice mass blocking the front of Qing Pheasant.
boom! ! !
A powerful impact hit the icicle, instantly annihilating it, but the next moment a steady stream of icicles poured out from in front of Qing Pheasant, pushing and bombarding Rhodes.
"It's very strong!"
Feeling the strong pressure coming from Qing Pheasant, Rhodes became even more excited.
The next moment, Rhodes' fists continued to swing out, and countless fist shadows continued to swing towards Qing Pheasant like a hail of bullets.
Bang bang bang——
Fist shadows flew and ice shards danced wildly.
"Frozen time capsule!"
After the icicle in front of him was shattered again, Qing Pheasant suddenly became very cold, and an extremely cold aura spread instantly.
A flash of red light flashed in Rhodes' eyes, and the next moment he stamped his foot, and his body was shot backwards, leaving the range of Qing Pheasant's ability.
"You are very strong."
Qingzhi opened his mouth and let out a burst of cold air, his face also covered with ice crystals.
"But, I am stronger!"
After the words fell, Qing Pheasant turned into an afterimage, and the whole person seemed to blend into the surrounding ice and snow, but it appeared next to Rhodes in an instant, and the endless cold air was released instantly, freezing Rhodes' body.
"Boss Rhodes!"
Peijingang let out an exclamation.
Click——
The ice crystals around Rhodes instantly shattered, and a jet-black fist wrapped in domineering force flew out and hit Qing Pheasant.
Wow~~
The Qing Pheasant that was bombarded by Rhodes' fist suddenly turned into a broken ice sculpture, and the Qing Pheasant himself climbed up from the snow not far away.
"Natural Devil Fruit users are as strong as monsters!"
Rhodes shook off the ice crystals on his body and looked at Qing Pheasant with some caution in his eyes.
After a brief confrontation, he already understood the gap between the two sides.
The admiral is worthy of being a strong man standing at the top of this sea. Aokiji is powerful in all aspects. Whether it is fruit ability, physical skills, or domineering, the opponent has almost no shortcomings.
What's even more troublesome is that Aokiji is a user with natural abilities and can transform into elements at will.
Although the power of Armed Color Haki can capture the entity of nature ability users, Aokiji's Insight Color Haki is also very good and can completely judge Rhodes' actions in advance.
In other words, the battle has continued until now, and Rhodes has not even directly collided with Aokiji's body, but was dodged by the opponent in advance.
As long as Rhodes relaxes for a moment, Qing Pheasant will seize the opportunity.
Just like just now, if he hadn't reacted at the last moment and released his domineering energy to cover his whole body, the current situation would have been even worse.
"Ah la la la, it's obviously you, more like a monster."
The green pheasant climbed up from the ice pile on the ground, still looking lazy.
"Your boxing skills are derived from the fighting skills of the giants - Hegemony, right? This is a combat skill that even the giants can use with weapons. You can actually use your fists to frequently use such moves. It's really true. You are the one who is the monster."
There are also giant vice admirals in the navy. Aokiji's former friend Sauro is also a giant.
As a navy admiral, Aokiji has a lot of experience. After these few fights, he has seen the principle of Rod's "tyrant fist".
"But this is my home court after all, you can't win."
The winter island with snow all year round is undoubtedly the most suitable place for Aokiji to fight. His ice fruit can play the greatest advantage.
Rod certainly knows this.
Freezing is Aokiji's domain. Fighting Aokiji in such an environment is not as simple as 1+1. It is like fighting against nature.
However, Rod is not too worried.
Because he is not alone!
"I may not be able to beat you."
Rod admitted generously, with a smile on his face.
"But we can beat you!"
A terrifying force instantly condensed on Rod's fist, and then he swung it fiercely at Aokiji.
"You should know that your attack can't hit me."
Aokiji's voice sounded faintly, and the cold air on his body surged, ready to transform himself into an element at any time.
"ROOM!"
A light blue halo suddenly enveloped the entire venue, and then Rhodes, who was originally preparing to punch Aokiji, disappeared instantly, and then appeared in another direction, and his fist suddenly swung out.
Bang!!!
The terrifying punch, accompanied by the outward domineering aura, hit Aokiji's body fiercely, especially the outward domineering aura of Rhodes, which rushed into Aokiji's body and destroyed it wantonly.
Bang!!!
Aokiji's body instantly flew backwards, and a little blood stain flew in a crystal ice battlefield.
"Ah la la la la, all of you are here."
Aokiji stood up and wiped the corner of his mouth, turned his head and looked not far away, where several figures were standing.
"Aokiji!"
Seeing the tall figure, Robin's mind flashed back to her childhood. Her face turned pale and she took two steps back unconsciously, trying hard not to fall to the ground.
"Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
Bakara's face changed slightly, but she was not as panicked as Robin.
As a pirate, she was of course scared to see the admiral of the navy.
But what if the admiral of the navy was beaten to vomit blood by his own captain?
Now her heart was not only not panicked at all, but full of strong excitement.
This is the admiral of the navy. Their pirate group can face the admiral of the navy head-on!
"Catch up!"
Neru put his arm on Law's shoulder.
With his strength, he was not enough to participate in this level of battle.
If he rushed forward rashly, he would not only fail to help Rhode, but also cause harm to Aokiji, and might become a burden to Rhode.
But he also has his own way of playing a role!
Neru is a natural Observation Haki user. His Observation Haki is very special. Not only can he read the information contained in the air, but he can even share thoughts to a certain extent when he comes into physical contact with other people.
However, this kind of sharing of thoughts can only transmit some extremely simple information, and it also requires him to have a strong tacit understanding with the other party. Currently, only Rhodes and Law can do this with him.
Now is the time for him to give full play to this ability.
With his Observation Haki, he can accurately find the position of Aokiji and pass this information to Law.
Based on this information, Law moves Rhodes' body to the right place, allowing him to directly attack Aokiji's body.
Such cooperation can maximize the characteristics of the three of them.
Rhodes' attack ability, Neru's predictive ability, and Law's mobility!
This is the strongest combination of attack, prediction, and mobility!
"The last time I fought in this way was four years ago!"
Rhodes looked at Aokiji in front of him.
Although I can't deal with this guy by myself, with Neru's observation Haki and Law's super mobility, the result is hard to predict!
"Amazing, they can have such a good cooperation."
In just a moment, Aokiji understood the fighting style of Rhode and his friends, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Trafalgar Law, he can swap the positions of things within his ability, but he didn't move me directly in front of you, but moved you. It seems that his ability has certain limitations."
Aokiji didn't rush to continue fighting, but analyzed their situation.
"I noticed that the moment you moved just now, all the Haki wrapped around you dissipated. Although it was only for a moment, I still noticed it.
Let me guess, Trafalgar Law's ability is that when he swaps the positions of objects, he can't move people with Haki, or in other words, he can't move people with Haki stronger than him, so he moved you in front of me instead of moving me directly in front of you."
"After all, no matter how you think about it, it's more cost-effective to move me directly, and you can also use the moment of stiffness when my position suddenly changes to attack."
"However, I didn't see any special records about Trafalgar Law's Observation Haki in the previous intelligence. His Observation Haki shouldn't be very strong."
Aokiji's eyes fell on Neru beside Law.
"Black Gun Neru is said to have a very powerful Observation Haki."
"As expected of a navy admiral!"
Seeing Aokiji reveal the secret of their three-man combination in just a few words, Rhode exclaimed in admiration.
"Anyway, I am also an old marine who has experienced decades of battle!"
Aokiji's expression remained unchanged, and his body became crystal clear again, like an ice sculpture.
"Although your cooperation is very powerful, I just said that the moment you move is also the moment you are most vulnerable!"
"You can try!"
Rhode did not give in.
"Two thorn spears!"
Aokiji stretched out his hands, and several ice spears quickly formed around him, and then instantly shot towards Rhode.
A flash of red light flashed in Rhode's eyes, and his body swayed slightly. While dodging Aokiji's attack, he quickly approached him.
Swish——
Rhode's body suddenly disappeared while he was moving forward, and then appeared in front of Aokiji, and he swung a domineering fist again.
Bang! !
A large number of ice pillars appeared in front of Aokiji, trying to block Rhode's attack, but they were destroyed by Rhode's fist in an instant.
However, taking advantage of this time, Aokiji has also dodged to the other side, with a slightly distressed expression.
"ROOM!"
Rhode activated his ability again, making Rhode's body seem to teleport, flashing around on the battlefield, and Aokiji kept dodging with powerful fists.
"What a monster!"
Aokiji avoided Rhode's attack again and couldn't help but describe it like this.
Although it seems that he has been dodging and has not fought directly with Rhode, in fact, he has been releasing cold air to try to hurt Rhode.
But Rhode's physical condition makes him only be described as a monster.
Even those long-famous pirates in the New World, few people can withstand his cold air for so long.
However, after enduring his cold air for so long, Rhode seemed to have no reaction, still maintaining the previous battle rhythm, and even his breath did not change much.
If this continues, he may not be able to defeat the opponent.
"No..."
In the distance, Luo's face turned pale and he half-knelt on the ground.
He had already consumed a lot of physical strength, and after using ROOM intensively, his physical strength was finally exhausted.
"It seems that your companion is no longer able to do it."
Aokiji immediately noticed the disappearing blue ability aura, and then looked at Luo who was half-kneeling on the ground.
In fact, after discovering the secret of their combination skills, he immediately wanted to get rid of Luo.
However, Rhodes had been blocking his direction of action, making it impossible for him to act rashly.
However, fortunately, as he expected, such an ability consumes a lot of physical strength, and the opponent is no longer able to fight.
"Although I can't cooperate with you like your companions, I think I can also play some role."
A tall figure suddenly inserted into the battlefield.
"Bartholomew Big Bear!"
