One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 241: Zephyr Goes Completely Crazy!

Which of Chen Ye's questions about justice?

It struck Aokiji hard in the heart.

Kuzan's perpetually lazy expression.

It froze at that moment.

"True...justice?"

Kuzan's Adam's apple bobbed.

Below, on the battlefield of the volcano, the air was scorching and distorted.

This is the end! This is rebirth!

Zefa stood atop the giant rock, the massive Seastone mechanical arm gripping an explosive rock and lifting it overhead.

Prepare to perish together!

Not just what Zephyr had.

The twenty-three key nodes scattered throughout the area, and even the explosive rocks deep underground, began to stir.

The earthquake trembled.

The prelude to destruction.

"Let's give this hopeless world a grand funeral!"

Zefa laughed wildly, his voice hoarse and insane, but there were dried tear tracks in the corners of his eyes.

He has gone completely insane.

He wants to drag the whole world down with him.

"Stop it, you old geezer!"

Luffy roared, and his straw hat fluttered wildly in the blast wave.

He pushed off the ground with both legs and shot forward.

"Second gear! Jet pistol!"

Steam rose, and sparks flew as the rubber arms rubbed against the air.

"And me! How could I let your ridiculous plan succeed!"

Ace followed closely behind, his body surrounded by flames.

"Fire Fist!"

however.

boom!

Just as the two were about to touch Zephyr, an invisible, terrifying shockwave erupted from Zephyr.

It formed an indestructible air wall.

boom!boom!

Luffy and Ace crashed into an invisible iron wall.

The powerful reaction force caused their blood and qi to surge, and the ground beneath their feet to crack inch by inch.

"make life difficult for."

Ace gritted his teeth, his feet digging two deep furrows in the ground, veins bulging on his forehead.

"This force... this old man is risking his life against us!"

Luffy stubbornly withstood that pressure.

distance.

This short distance now feels like an insurmountable chasm.

Moreover, this insurmountable barrier is being widened inch by inch by that destructive aura.

On the mountaintop.

The wind was biting cold.

Kuzan remained seated on the cold rock.

But the bottle in his hand was trembling violently.

Click.

A crisp sound.

The wine bottle that had been with him for so long could not withstand the terrifying grip from his large hand and shattered on the ice.

Kuzan suddenly stood up.

The man who always hunched over, hands in his pockets, with a "what a hassle" look on his face, is gone.

He raised his hand and took off the signature round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Without the sunglasses to conceal them, those eyes were completely exposed to the air.

Beneath the permafrost that has remained frozen for millennia, a resolute flame now burns, so sharp that it is almost unbearable to look directly at.

He looked down at the crazed figure.

The man who taught him a lesson with his fists and showed him what the navy was all about with his back turned.

The former teacher, Zephyr, was so tall and upright.

He doesn't kill people, he firmly believes in the law, and he cares for his students.

But now…

Kuzan's lips trembled.

"teacher."

"The justice you taught me..."

Kuzan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a terrifying chill instantly exploded around him.

"That's not how it works!"

The moment the words fell.

He no longer hesitated.

Without holding anything back.

Ku Tan suddenly squatted down and slammed his right hand hard onto the mountain peak beneath his feet!

A power escalation at the level of a former admiral.

A full-force attack from a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user.

"Glacier".

"era!"

boom!

There was no explosion, no deafening roar.

Only extreme cold.

A visible, extremely deep blue surge of cold air erupted instantly, centered on Kuzan's palm!

It cascaded down the mountain peak, sweeping towards the volcano below and the entire island at a speed that defies the laws of physics!

The sound of ice forming filled the entire island.

Wherever the cold air passed, the hard rocks and the scalding volcanic ash floating in the air were all frozen in place.

The red lava was still flowing when it was frozen solid the next second.

The flying sparks were still in mid-air when they were encased in glistening ice beads and fell to the ground.

This cold wave ruthlessly devoured all heat, forcibly dragging this impending inferno into an abyss of extreme cold.

The battlefield below.

As Luffy and Ace gritted their teeth and fought against the shockwave, the pressure in front of them eased.

Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling cold swept over me.

"This is…"

Ace suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring ahead in shock.

Luffy's eyes widened, and his mouth formed an "O".

Before their eyes, the world that was originally crimson and full of destructive energy was turning into silver-white at a visible speed.

The ground beneath our feet had turned into solid ice.

Ice spikes hung from the distant crater.

Even the violent energy fluctuations in the air were frozen by this cold air.

"It's so cold..."

Luffy shuddered and exhaled a puff of white breath.

Zefa was at the eye of the storm.

His face, which was filled with madness and determination, froze for a moment.

Not only because of the cold, but also because of the shock.

"This is…"

Zefa lowered his head in disbelief.

He saw that the explosive rock beneath his feet, which was flashing a blinding red light and was about to reach its critical point, was now tightly wrapped in a thick layer of crystal-clear ice.

It not only sealed the surface of the explosive rock, but also penetrated into the rock's interior, forcibly cooling the energy core that was about to explode.

Not just this one.

Zephyr's Observation Haki swept across the entire island in an instant.

Twenty-three places.

All twenty-three designated detonation points were simultaneously covered, sealed off, and frozen by this terrifying chill!

beep.

The piercing buzzing, a countdown to destruction, abruptly stopped.

The vibration stopped.

Apart from the howling wind, the whole world was plunged into a deathly silence.

The apocalypse has been put on pause.

On the mountaintop.

Chen Ye remained seated on the golden divine power recliner, his posture unchanged.

He looked at Kuzan beside him, who was still pressing one hand to the ground, and at that back that still exuded a chilling aura, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"That's more like it, Kuzan."

Chen Ye thought to himself.

"but…"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing through the snow and ice, landing on the old man standing there below.

"Simply stopping them isn't enough."

"The knot in Zefa's heart needs to be untied in the most drastic way; he will forever remain a ghost who only wants to die."

"His fate is something you'll have to arrange yourself, Aokiji."

Crater.

Zefa stared blankly at the explosive rock beneath his feet, frozen into a lump of ice.

His aged and bewildered face was reflected in the crystal-clear ice.

one second.

two seconds.

After the initial shock, an indescribable surge of emotion welled up from the depths of his heart, like a volcanic eruption.

That was his final plan.

It was the final funeral he prepared for this dirty world.

It was his final dignity and farewell as an avenger!

Now, it's all ruined!

Moreover, the one who ruined all of this was one of his most prized students!

"Why..."

Zefa suddenly looked up, veins bulging on his neck, his eyes bloodshot.

He stared intently at the towering mountain peaks in the distance, and at the familiar figure that he could recognize at a glance even through the wind and snow.

Why are you stopping me too?!

"Kuzan!"

A heart-wrenching roar pierced through layers of ice and snow, echoing across the entire empty island.

The voice contained anger, resentment, and a deep sense of sorrow.

He turned around, and the massive mechanical arm of the Crusher made a clattering sound that was particularly jarring on the silent ice field.

Since a chain reaction of explosions is no longer possible.

Then let's use the most basic method!

"Don't think you can stop me like this!"

Zefa roared, like a wounded lone wolf.

He ignored Luffy and Ace, who were stunned in the distance, and he no longer cared about any perfect funeral.

He raised the Crusher high and aimed it at the nearest explosive rock, which was sealed off by a thick layer of ice at his feet.

"Since that's the case..."

"I'll detonate it myself!"

At this moment, Zephyr abandoned his defense.

He only wanted to detonate even a single explosive rock.

Both could completely blast this volcano apart.

Your plan can still succeed!

"Explode it!"

With a roar, the massive mechanical arm slammed down onto the ice with tremendous force!
