Crackling...
"Ren, goodbye-"
"Take care, we'll wait for you on the next island!!"
"You must come back alive!!"
"I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you before..."
"I'm really sorry!!"
On the coast of an unnamed desert island, shocking heat waves were blowing. The flames burned fiercely, and the entire sky and sea surface were illuminated extremely red.
The earth was scorched black, steam was rising from the sea and mist filled the air. After thinking hard about the fact that they won't be able to help Ren and only hinder him, the Straw Hat Crew, who were all moved to tears, quickly made up their minds and left the island first.
Not willing to miss it, Ren risked his own life and faced the highest combat power of the Naval Headquarters alone, "fighting" himself so that the others could get the opportunity to escape.
"I'm really speechless... Why are everyone so moved?"
Listen to Straw Hat Crew's sincere "confession", Ren, who was bathed in flames, couldn't help but have black lines on his head.
But there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he had no idea of returning to Straw Hat Crew.
After all, he had already made up his mind to follow his own heart and follow his own path, unwilling to be ordinary from the beginning.
"Robin, we will meet soon..."
Watching the Going Merry slowly disappear from the sea. Watching the beautiful figure who was like a gentle and intimate big sister on weekdays, often pretending to read casually on the Merry, but in fact, she was always silently paying attention to everything happening.
Whenever he completed a stage of his training and was ready to take a break, there always happened to be one pair of hands bringing him tea, one pair of hands bringing him towels, and even one pair of hands wiping his sweat. Recalling all the past events, Ren couldn't help but smile.
"Sorry, Luffy..." He turned around and said secretly: "You don't even have the strength to protect her. Instead of letting Robin follow you, you might as well let her follow me!"
From the beginning, he was already preparing to pull Robin into his camp, but now was obviously not the time.
Robin, who has not truly resolved her knot, has not experienced despair again, and may not be willing to leave with him. When Robin arrived in the Water 7, she was threatened by the members of the Secret Organization Cipher-Pol CP9 under the World Government and left the Straw Hat Crew.
This is the time for him to take action. He will let Robin see the shadow hidden deep in her heart, the Buster Call she still fears. How vulnerable she was in front of a truly strong person.
"Ah la la, it's such a touching friendship..." At this time, Aokiji walked out unscathed from the area ahead that was flooded with fire and filled with thick smoke and mist.
Looking at the Going Merry leaving, he looked at the Blood Demon Ren in front of him, and said calmly: "However, Hirotaka Ren, I can't let a dangerous guy like you go unchecked..."
"It's a pity that your journey ends here!"
"Yeah?" Holding the Moeru yona Kusanagi, Ren's blade was pointed directly at Aokiji, the Marine Admiral.
Ren's eyes were blazing, showing an unprecedented fighting spirit, and he smiled and said: "I want to say the same thing... If you as an Admiral of Headquarters are not worthy of your title, you can die here too!"
"I've really been underestimated..." Aokiji shrugged. In his hand, an ice blade condensed directly and it was wrapped with his dark Haki.
Under the rolling heat wave, there was no sign of melting, but instead there was a slight chill. It was really amazing.
"No matter how you say it, I am an Admiral of Naval Headquarters!"
His words were not yet finished. He was directly holding the extremely sharp ice blade, covered in jet black Haki.
"Soru..." He stepped hard. He rushed in front of Ren like lightning, showing amazing swordsmanship, he slashed towards Ren.
Clang...
Relying on his own quite strong Observation Haki, he had already wrapped around Haki's blade and narrowly blocked the blow. There was a fierce collision between the two.
Clang... clang...
The two kept swinging their swords and engaged in fierce exchanges. Ren's sword was burning with astonishing flames and emitting astonishing high temperatures.
Constantly fighting against Aokiji, the Admiral of Headquarters, with the ability of Ice-Ice fruit, and the ice blade covered in high-level Armament Haki, Ren was not falling behind at all.
Crack... bang...
A heat wave swept through. The air was somewhat distorted. Amazing flames burned there. The messy earth was burned to an extremely scorched black color and cracked open.
What's even more terrifying is, as the battle between the two continued, Ren gradually no longer suppressed his own power. The color of the flames gushing out of the body gradually deepened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Forget about those flowers, plants and trees. Even the ground around him was burned red. It began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some rocks even turned into puddles of hot magma, bubbling with heat.
"Huh...huh..." But in a blink of an eye, the surrounding temperature continued to drop. The intense cold air kept coming out. The burned-red earth and the rocks turned into magma were instantly covered with frost. Large areas were frozen.
Boom boom...
The power of ice and fire were constantly colliding there. In the distance, the entire coast turned into two completely different colors.
One side was the color of frost. The other side was red in color. Moreover, they were constantly impacting each other and squeezing each other.
One ice and one fire, refusing to give in to each other.
Crash...
Alternating between hot and cold, bursts of fierce wind pressure continued to rage. Even the turbulent sea was boiling.
The Straw Hat Crew, who had already drifted away and watched the battle through a monocular telescope, couldn't help but be a little shocked.
Although they could no longer see the specific fighting posture of the two but they could feel it just from the changes on the coast. How intense was the battle between the two.
"Gulp!" Usopp turned pale.
Some were shocked and couldn't believe it: "Is that Ren's true strength?"
"Hiss--"
"The Admiral of Headquarters... is really amazingly powerful!" Even Sanji and Zoro couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Aokiji from before, when fighting against them, was like an adult playing tricks on a child.
It seemed like he was dealing with them seriously, but in fact he didn't take them to heart at all. Nami and Robin were holding on to the guardrail. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Aokiji——"
"Luffy, wait..."
At this time, in the cabin, Luffy has just thawed and regained consciousness. Without waiting for Chopper to scream, he ran out in a hurry.
"Huh?" But he saw the vast sea and in the distance, there was an astonishing scene that was as shocking as the eruption of an undersea volcano.
He was completely stunned.
"That is..."
