Compared to the other two's fight, Ugetsu Asari and Aokiji's fight were much more elegant. Neither of them used their full strength. They were just gauging each other. Aokiji didn't even use his Ice-Ice Fruit ability. He merely condensed an ice sword in his hand, while Ugetsu Asari didn't even use Rain Flame. He just used his sword to fight with his opponent.
Ugetsu Asari wasn't the kind of person who liked to fight. In his opinion, it was meaningless for the opponent to keep fighting. Aokiji could've just frozen the sea to stop Sun Pirates, and Kizaru could've shot down Sun Pirates with his Comma Jewel Eight Shaku, but with him, G and Issho around, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru couldn't lay a hand on Sun Pirates, and odds were they wouldn't be able to do anything to Vongola Family. Unless the Marine headquarters sent people like Sengoku and Z to support them, they wouldn't be able to win.
But to be honest, the chance wasn't that high. Even if the three of them were arrested or killed, so what?
Without the three of them, Vongola Family was still strong. The Marine wasn't ready to start a war with Vongola Family!
What's more, as a Fleet Admiral, Sengoku couldn't leave the headquarters just to deal with them. Moreover, Z should be training his new recruits. To make things worse, Garp probably took a leave and then went back to teach his grandson to become an excellent "Marine soldier"!
But Garp's education prowess sure was something else. He at first wanted to raise his son Dragon into an excellent Marine, but Dragon went and formed Revolutionary Army. Then he wanted to raise his grandson Luffy to become an excellent Marine, but Luffy shouted... "I am the man who will become the pirate king!"
It even occurred to Giotto whether Luffy would become an Admiral in the future if Garp raised Luffy to become a pirate king.
Back to the fight between Ugetsu Asari and Aokiji, the clash between Enma and Aokiji's Ice Sword resounded throughout the island.
But if you thought about it carefully, you would realize that these two people were just playing around. After all, how could Aokiji compete with the world's greatest swordsman in swordfight?
"Your colleagues are fighting with their lives on the line, are you really alright playing around like this?" Ugetsu Asari said blocked the opponent's ice blade with his sword and then immediately struck back, but his movement was full of opening, as if he had no intention of getting serious.
Aokiji also took a few steps back to block Ugetsu Asari's attack and said helplessly: "Arara, will it make any difference if I go all out? To be honest, I'm not confident I can defeat you, Ugetsu Asari. However, it won't be easy for you to defeat me either, so it is better to keep things like this. The battle should be over when everyone exhausts themselves. Moreover, I don't want this battle to become too intense. The Marine would not want to lose anything here. Otherwise, what we've achieved will be in vain." Aokiji was thinking further than the other two. He didn't want the Marine to lose in the battle against Vongola Family.
They had already won whether they could defeat Vongola Family or not as Fisher Tiger was already dead. However, according to what Sengoku said, they were there to score some credit, but risking themselves for this wasn't worth it, at least that was what Aokiji believed.
His motto was Lazy Justice! Unlike Akainu, the priority would be the safety of the Marine.
"Since you said so, why don't you try to convince your colleague? I can stay put for a while, and it seems that as long as you can convince them, this battle will be over, right?" Ugetsu Asari smiled. He'd be glad if he didn't have to fight, and as Aokiji said, he couldn't win that easily against him.
Hearing this, Aokiji sighed and helplessly looked at Akainu, then said: "Cut me some slack, there is no way I can convince him now that it has come to this. Moreover, it is impossible for him to stop unless that guy called Issho can defeat him, or your other companion can beat Borsalino. Otherwise, this battle won't end that easily. I myself think it is a hassle, but there is no way around it."
He was not on good terms with Akainu. In the Marine, the they were like polar opposite. If he asked Akainu to stop now, Akainu would just sock him a hell and then resume his fight with Issho.
Just like their Devil Fruit, they couldn't coexist.
"It's a pity, but I still have a way to end this meaningless battle quickly..."
Ugetsu Asari's eyes suddenly became sharp, and Rain Flame immediately enveloped Enma in his hand: "You three are the only ones who can keep up with us. In other words, won't this battle end if you lose?"
Seeing the sudden change in his opponent's aura, Aokiji's expression changed: "If that's what you're trying to pull off, then I beg to differ. Although I don't have much desire to fight, I refuse to be defeated just like that. I don't mind if we continue this farce, but if you plan to defeat me, then I will have to fight back with all my strength!"
The air around Aokiji became colder and colder. Who knew that their conversation would lead to this kind of conclusion?
