It seemed to sense Mihawk's movements.
At this moment, Jiguo Yuanyi, who was on the icy battlefield, slowly raised his head.
The two locked eyes.
No words were spoken.
Jiguo Yuanyi began to walk slowly toward Mihawk.
Soon, the two met on the ice.
Without hurry, Mihawk looked at Jiguo Yuanyi and said calmly,
"I thought about this the moment I first met you.
If we meet anywhere else, I must compete with you."
Hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi kept staring into Mihawk's sharp, eagle-like eyes.
He replied with a calm, indifferent expression,
"Bring it on."
Mihawk smiled and pulled out the black knife from behind his back.
At the moment Mihawk drew his black knife, their eyes both changed.
The next second, they lunged at each other, blades aimed.
"Qiang Om!!!"
The fierce battle between them was about to erupt!
Elsewhere, Madara's path forward was blocked for the first time.
Two Marine generals, clad in Marine cloaks and wielding long knives, stood in front of him. They spoke deeply,
"I won't let you take another step closer to the square.
Be aware!"
While speaking, the two Marines assumed attacking stances.
But Madara wasn't alarmed by their firm words. Instead, he looked amused, bowing his head and chuckling softly,
"Hehehe, just relying on you two ants to stop me?
How arrogant!"
Provoked by Madara's arrogance, one Marine general snapped,
"You're just a newcomer!
Don't get too cocky!"
With that, he charged forward swiftly, long knife raised, aiming for Madara.
"Whoosh!"
The other Marine general followed, also attacking Madara.
Madara, smiling, stepped forward calmly toward the two.
In the next moment, Madara's figure flickered, appearing right before the first charging Marine.
Taken aback, the Marine froze, waiting to react.
Suddenly, Madara grabbed his face fiercely, pushing him down.
"Call out!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!!"
With tremendous force, Madara slammed the Marine's head into the ice.
The Marine lost consciousness instantly.
His long knife slipped from his hand, flying away.
Madara grabbed the knife's handle and slashed backhand at the second Marine charging at him.
"When!!"
The two blades clashed, the sharp ringing of steel filling the air.
Then, the Marine's long knife cracked sharply.
"Crack!!"
The blade shattered.
Unfazed, Madara used the remaining sword to decapitate the Marine in one clean strike.
"Shhh!!"
"Pfft!!!"
Bright red blood splattered into the air.
Madara's expression grew colder.
Too weak.
So weak.
With this level of strength, they can't even warm me up.
There's no fun in fighting them.
Without looking at the fallen Marine's body, Madara pulled back the long knife and stabbed it casually into the ice where the head was embedded.
"Pfft!!"
Without a trace of hesitation, Madara pressed forward.
Within seconds, the two Marine generals lay dead by Madara's hands.
Their weakness made Madara's heart ache with boredom.
But Madara hadn't moved far after killing the two.
A low voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Frozen Time Capsule!"
A terrifying cold wave surged toward Madara like a shockwave.
Wherever it passed, the ice thickened and frost formed anew.
"Click! Click! Click…"
But Madara seemed unaffected.
He made no move.
"Shuh!!!"
The chill spread evenly over Madara's body.
His legs froze instantly.
"Crack! Kick! Kick…"
Looking down at his frozen legs, Madara muttered calmly,
"Ice prison? Is this a Devil Fruit's limit?
Should I call this power 'Devil Fruit' now?"
Despite being frozen, Madara made no effort to break free.
Instead, he raised his head and looked toward the source of the attack.
Admiral Aokiji of the Marine Headquarters appeared before him, radiating a chilling aura.
Seeing Aokiji arrive, the surrounding Marines shouted in surprise,
"It's Admiral Aokiji!!"
"Look! The Admiral is here!"
"This guy's finished!!"
"He's trapped by the Admiral! Attack!!"
"Fix him!!"
"Drink!!!"
Excited cries rang out.
The Marines' morale surged with Aokiji's arrival.
A large group rushed toward Madara, weapons raised.
Amidst the chaos, Madara slowly turned his head.
Looking coldly at the charging Marines, he said in a deep voice,
"You… want to dance too?"
