At this time, Sakazuki stood next to the lake in the center of the island, looking at the panting Aokiji in the distance, but did not pursue the victory.
Instead, he stood there and relaxed the stiff muscles in his body.
Half of it was maintained deliberately by his own fighting, and half of it was frozen by Aokiji's cold air.
After Aokiji calmed down a little, Sakazuki looked at him.
Then he said in a tone that could not be criticized: "The last move will determine the outcome!"
Aokiji also knew that he had reached his limit, but Sakazuki still seemed to have some strength left.
Although he is unwilling to admit that Sakazuki is better than himself, the facts are here and there is no room for self-deception.
However, Aokiji was still unwilling to fail like this and had to make one last struggle. He took a deep breath.
Then he slowly raised his hands, a chill coming from his mouth, and prepared to accumulate strength to launch his final move!
"Ice Age!" The sky was filled with ice.
Half of the island behind Aokiji instantly turned into a land of ice and snow, as if winter had entered overnight.
Seeing Aokiji launching his ultimate move without sparing any effort, Sakazuki looked solemn. If he didn't take this seriously, he would be dead.
"Meteor Volcano!" Sakazuki shouted.
The awakening ability of the rock berries instantly triggered the lava beneath the island, and countless rocks turned into magma at high temperatures.
Fire dragons composed of lava soared in the air, and then gathered into a huge lava beast. After letting out a huge roar, it rushed towards Aokiji.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous explosions continued to sound in the center of the battle, which lasted for dozens of minutes before gradually subsiding.
When the smoke dissipated, Aokiji was seen lying on the ground in a mess, with burn marks all over his body.
The blindfold on his head was nowhere to be seen at this time. It was burned to ashes at some point. Only the rising and falling chest showed that he was still alive.
Sakazuki coughed several times, coughed out the ice residue in his throat, and walked towards Aokiji on the ground with a murderous look on his face.
Feeling Sakazuki's almost substantial murderous intention, Aokiji struggled to open his eyes, and then closed them again, seemingly resigned to his fate!
In the blink of an eye, Sakazuki came to Aokiji, stared at Aokiji's intact left leg, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He was the only general who didn't cross his legs in the war.
Such a weird idea suddenly broke into his mind, and Sakazuki's concentrated murderous intention could no longer be maintained and dissipated instantly.
"Aokiji, have you found your justice?"
Sakazuki sat down on the ground, folded his hands on his chest, and asked Aokiji lying on the ground.
Sakazuki, who felt no murderous intent at all, sat next to him and asked this question.
Aokiji was full of doubts, but he opened his eyes again and looked directly at the sun in the sky.
"Whether I find justice or not, I will never accept you as Fleet Admiral! You will lead Marine into the abyss!"
Aokiji coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared excitedly.
"Into the abyss? Isn't this rotten world itself an abyss? No matter how bad it is, how bad can it get!" Sakazuki sneered disdainfully.
Then his eyes suddenly looked into the depths of the mountain, and he raised one hand to the sky, punched out, and magma spurted out, followed by a scream in the distance.
"The World Government's CP agents are everywhere!"
Sakazuki snorted coldly, not knowing what method this guy used to survive this battle.
Fortunately, his knowledge and domineering power are now strong enough, and the 800-year-old foundation of World Government cannot be underestimated.
Although he was shocked that Sakazuki suddenly took action to eliminate the World Government people, he couldn't help but mock:
"Aren't you the World Government's most loyal lackey?"
hehe!
Sakazuki was not annoyed, but said slowly:
"I know you have always been brooding about the O'Hara incident. Since that incident, we have gone in opposite directions."
"You only saw me ordering the shelling of the lifeboats, and you thought I was inhumane and contrary to justice."
"But have you ever calmed down and thought about the situation at that time? The World Government has clearly stipulated that research on historical texts is not allowed, and even though those archaeologists have been arrested."
"Oh, no, there is another girl who was let go by you. Let's not pursue this for now."
Ignoring Aokiji's shocked gaze, Sakazuki continued: "Do you think that with the World Government's shit attitude, it would really let those O'Hara civilians live?"
Aokiji was stunned. He didn't expect Sakazuki to ask such a question and couldn't answer for a while.
"You should know very well in your heart that in order to find out the bloodline of Gol D. Roger, the World Government went on a killing spree in South Blue and slaughtered many innocent pregnant women."
"What's ridiculous is that Lieutenant General Garp protected Ace's existence for a verbal promise to Roger, and even allowed him to become a pirate. How many people did this indirectly kill?"
Regarding Garp, Sakazuki did not want to make any further comments, leaving his merits and demerits to one's own discretion.
We cannot deny his contribution to Marine and world peace, but we cannot ignore the harm he and his family have brought to the world.
"If the civilians on the lifeboats were allowed to go to other towns and villages, do you think the World Government would go back on its word in the future?"
"Will they backhandedly issue arrest warrants to hunt down those O'Hara survivors who are hiding in the crowd?"
"Then such an operation is the same as the massacre carried out on South Blue Baterilla Island. The Marine who executes the order may be me, Sakazuki, or you, Aokiji. How do you choose then?"
Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Garp actually... Facing Sakazuki's questioning, Aokiji fell from the previous excitement into the current confusion.
He worked his way up to General Marine and knew the nature of the World Government, so he would really do such a thing.
I just never thought about it before. He had already lost his bearings on justice, and now he was even more lost.
"Then you will always obey the orders of the World Government and do your best to protect those Celestial Dragons?"
Aokiji couldn't find anything to refute for a while, so he grabbed this point and struggled.
"Those pigs? Sooner or later I will wipe them out! The world does not need such garbage!"
"And the Five Elders, who have been in power for eight hundred years, have long lost their original intentions and have completely become slaves of power and minions of the Celestial Dragons! They should have been eliminated long ago!"
Sakazuki pointed casually in the direction of Mary Geoise.
Slowly speaking out his innermost thoughts, it seems that he is determined to tie Aokiji to his ship.
Sakazuki cherishes such a top-notch combat power with a well-established talent.
As long as he gives him a goal, he will never be as lazy as before, and will definitely become a major help for Sakazuki to overthrow the World Government in the future.
Upon hearing Sakazuki's outrageous and shocking words, Aokiji, who had just sat up, was stunned and almost lay down on the ground again.
He finally understood why Sakazuki wanted to kill the CP agents sent by the World Government.
But the shock that Sakazuki brought to him today was too much, and he couldn't digest it for a while.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Aokiji, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking and asked Sakazuki directly.
