One Piece: Ultimate Villain

The next morning, Marsh, feeling refreshed, headed toward the CP5 Director's office.

But shortly after leaving, a figure rushed toward him at an incredibly terrifying speed from afar!

With every step, ice crystals formed beneath his feet!

It was Aokiji!

After finding Kaku barely clinging to life and Kalifa wrapped in a bedsheet, eyes vacant like a living corpse in the CP5 dormitory, he knew exactly what had happened.

That Spandine kid actually dared!

"Oh? Vice Admiral Aokiji, are you here to escort me to work?"

Marsh chuckled, unfazed by Aokiji's killing intent.

"What did you do last night?" Aokiji stopped a few dozen meters away, his voice as cold as the frost emanating from his body.

"Last night? Let me think." Marsh stroked his chin as if truly pondering. "Oh! Two of my subordinates were plotting to desert the Navy, so I taught them a lesson."

"If they wanted to desert, they should have been handed over to the Navy tribunal. Not..."

[In response to Vice Admiral Aokiji's accusation, your choices are:

[A. Flee immediately]

[B. Beg for mercy]

[C. Beat him up]

As if there's even a choice!

"Not what?" Marsh cracked his neck.

His answer came in the form of dozens of blindingly cold, gleaming points of light!

The lights expanded rapidly in Marsh's vision.

These glowing blue trails were half-meter-long ice javelins hurtling toward him at impossible speed!

"Ice Spear!"

Just as the spears were upon him, Aokiji's now-serious voice finally reached Marsh's ears.

The ice spears left blue and green frost trails in the air as if freezing the very atmosphere!

But the powerful spears hit nothing.

Or rather, they pierced only Marsh's afterimage left in his original position.

Seeing this, Aokiji frowned.

The kid had mastered Geppo to this level?!

Even though they missed, the spears obliterated the marble floor, leaving it riddled with craters!

The power was undeniable!

Marsh, who had dodged with Moonwalk, couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

This was Aokiji's strength as a mere Vice Admiral!

How terrifying would he be once he became an Admiral?

Seizing the moment when Marsh was briefly distracted mid-air, a figure launched itself through a flurry of ice and snow toward him again!

Behind the figure, countless ice crystals formed, eventually coalescing into a massive bird!

It was none other than Aokiji's signature move, the Ice Pheasant!

The giant, tens-of-meters-tall pheasant flapped its ice-crystal-laden wings like a living creature, hurtling toward Marsh!

From its beak, it exhaled a chilling breath!

With his vast combat experience, Aokiji knew the best way to deal with a nimble target like Marsh was with a large-area attack!

No matter how well Marsh used Moonwalk, as long as the ice bird's breath grazed him, his agility would drop drastically!

In response, Marsh prepared to counterattack.

His hands trembled slightly, turning jet black in an instant.

Then, he rapidly struck out at the ice bird.

His strikes were so fast they created ripples in the air!

With each Haki-infused Shigan, holes began appearing all over the ice bird.

Just before the bird collided with Marsh, it let out a mournful cry and shattered into ice fragments, falling to the ground.

"Ice Age!"

But Aokiji's assault was only beginning!

While Marsh was still dealing with the ice bird, Aokiji had unleashed his wide-area finishing move.

A wave of cyan ice spread from Aokiji's body, skimming just above the ground as it advanced silently!

In an instant, the ground and stones around them froze solid!

In the blink of an eye, an icy hell spanned hundreds of meters around them!

Even the distant dock, with several anchored warships, was frozen over!

And this was Aokiji holding back!

As a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit user, Hie Hie no Mi, Aokiji's full power was a nightmare for most martial arts experts.

Not only would the extreme cold affect bodily functions, but the frost, like a persistent parasite, would spread rapidly upon contact.

If Haki wasn't applied thoroughly, cells would die instantly, and limbs would become as brittle as dried twigs!

So it was common for those who fought Aokiji seriously to end up missing limbs.

But Marsh, who had seen the original anime, knew that while Aokiji used this Ice Age technique, he had to continuously channel frost into the surrounding area.

In other words, Aokiji couldn't move for a moment!

An opportunity!

Ignoring the frost beginning to creep up one leg, Marsh lunged at Aokiji!

Clenching both fists together, he planted his feet wide!

Gathering his entire power, he unleashed it in a single instant!

Rokuogan!

Both fists, wrapped in Armament Haki, struck Aokiji's chest heavily!

At the same time, the frost had already engulfed Marsh's entire right leg.
