Chapter 369: Admiral Aokiji

call!

A gust of wind swept across the island, bringing a chill that made the Straw Hat crew shiver. The person surrounded continued speaking calmly.

"The reason I feel particularly threatened is you, Nico Robin!"

As soon as this person uttered those words, Nico Robin, standing among the Straw Hat crew, visibly became very serious.

"Hey! You really came for Robin, huh?! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Luffy shouted angrily, but the man ignored him and continued talking.

"The amount of a bounty on a person not only represents the strength of the criminal, but also the size of the threat that person poses to the government. Therefore, when you were only eight years old, you had already become a criminal with a bounty of 79 million. Although you were just a child at the time, you cleverly survived. Betrayal and escape, flattery and manipulation, relying on your intelligence to survive in this dark society until now, this group of people must be the place you have chosen to hide this time!"

"what……"

At this point in the man's sentence, Nicole Robin's pupils widened suddenly, because, just as the man said, she did indeed have such a plan.

"Hey! Stop saying things that make people furious! What grudge do you have against Miss Robin...?"

At that moment, Sanji, the cook on the ship, suddenly interrupted the man, his face filled with anger. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Usopp, the sniper who had run over.

"Hmm? No grudges, really! But if we're talking about friendship, she escaped from me once before. You'll soon understand why you'll regret having such a troublesome woman by your side! The best proof is that every organization that has ever been associated with Nico Robin has been wiped out! Only she has survived. So, why is that, Nico Robin!"

The man who had been sitting on the ground slowly stood up as he spoke, his eyes fixed intently on Nico Robin in front of him as he finished speaking.

"Shut up! This has nothing to do with the past!"

"That's right! Back in the day, we had one pirate hunter and one thief on our ship!"

"Hey! Usopp! That's unnecessary!"

Just as the man finished speaking, Luffy shouted angrily, and Usopp, who was standing next to him, also tried to speak, but was interrupted by Nami hitting him on the head.

"Compared to before, now is the most important time!"

"Robin is our most important partner now! You're not allowed to talk about our partner like that!"

Following closely behind, the cook Sanji and the ship's doctor Chopper both spoke up for Robin.

"I see! It seems you have a deep relationship with them!"

Hearing the Straw Hat crew's words, the man in front of him paid them no heed, only focusing his gaze on Robin, who was frowning and sweating profusely.

"What exactly are you trying to say? If you want to arrest me, just do it!"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than Robin loudly questioned him, crossing her arms and striking the pose for activating the Flower Flower Fruit.

"Thirty rounds of flowers bloom!"

The next second, as Robin's voice rang out, more than a dozen arms suddenly appeared on the man in front of him, firmly locking his head and neck in place.

"La la la la! Looks like I talked too much! I thought you were a smart woman, but it seems I overestimated you!"

However, the man whose head and neck were locked by Robin showed no sign of panic, merely looking indifferently at the tense Robin.

"Hook Claw!"

The next second, Robin didn't waste any words and launched an attack.

Click!

With the force of more than a dozen arms, the man's entire body was broken into ice cubes, including his head and neck, which were scattered all over the ground.

"Ah!! My whole body was pulverized and I'm dead!"

This scene shocked everyone present. Staring at the scattered ice blocks, emanating a chilling aura, they all froze in place.

Before the Straw Hat crew could recover from their shock, the scattered ice shards suddenly began to converge in the center. As the ice shards rose, the man who had been shattered to pieces stood up again.

"No...it's impossible...everyone, run...run away!"

This scene terrified sniper Usopp, who even screamed and ran away.

Luffy and the others stood rooted to the spot, their eyes fixed on the man who was gradually returning to normal.

"Oh dear! That's so unfair!"

The man, who had stood up again, emanated a chilling aura. His eyes were fixed on Robin, and he spoke with a still expressionless face.

"Gudong..."

Robin, her arms still crossed, was trembling slightly. The attack she'd just received had emboldened her, and now she found it difficult to attack the man before her, knowing full well how terrifying he was.

Click!

The man calmly bent down, picked up a handful of grass from the ground, and tossed it aside.

call!

Immediately afterward, the man exhaled a blast of icy air, instantly enveloping the grass blades that had been swirling in front of him. In the blink of an eye, an ice blade appeared in his hand.

"Ice Saber!"

"Although I don't intend to take your life, however..."

As the man spoke, he slowly raised the icy military knife emanating a chilling aura, and before he even finished speaking, he slashed at Robin.

At that moment, a resolute glint flashed in Robin's eyes. She crossed her arms again and even closed her eyes. Now, she was determined to unleash her Devil Fruit power in a desperate fight. Even if she couldn't defeat the man before her, she couldn't simply surrender.

Swish!

Ding!

However, the next second, the sound of two weapons clashing rang out, instantly waking Robin from her closed eyes.

"Hmm? This..."

The moment Robin opened her eyes, she saw a very familiar figure appear before her.

"Hey! Admiral Aokiji! You can't lay a hand on this woman! Because! She's mine!"

call!

As a gust of cold wind blew by, a domineering voice clearly rang in everyone's ears, simultaneously revealing to everyone who had blocked the icy military knife.

At that very moment, Zoro, standing behind Robin, slowly sheathed the long sword he had just drawn, then fixed his eyes intently on the man who had suddenly appeared.

"Mu...Mu Chong?..."

"Ah, la la la! How could it be you? What are you doing here? Hero Mu Chong!"

When Aokiji clearly saw the person's face, his pupils instantly contracted, and a look of surprise visibly filled his entire face. He even ignored Robin, who had spoken at the same time.

That's right, the person who appeared here and blocked Qingzhi's ice saber was Mu Chong, and the saber in his hand was the long saber Bai Jiao.

Just seconds earlier, Mu Chong had used his Observation Haki to sense a power. Having watched the anime before, Mu Chong knew exactly what this meant.

So, not wanting Robin to suffer, Mu Chong turned to the group behind him and gave them some instructions. He then activated his Power-Power Fruit ability to teleport, instantly appearing here, which led to the scene before him.

"Heh heh heh! Admiral Aokiji! Instead of protecting the Celestial Dragons at Marineford, what are you doing on this deserted island in the Grand Line?"
