One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 248 First Test of Skills

Atop the vast ice field, a slender figure flew past, its feet filled with flames shattered the ice, and kicked towards the target with a sharp sweep.

"boom!"

The broken ice blade stood upright, trying to block An's attack on the blue pheasant. He felt a huge force coming from his arm, and he and his weapon slid sideways.

"Here comes the gun!"

The flame spear inserted into the ground came out and whirled in mid-air.

Holding the spear again with one hand, An didn't give the opponent any chance to breathe. The flickering shadows of the gun came one after another.

"Alala, it seems that I have been underestimated."

Letting the tip of the spear pass through his body, leaving small holes filled with coldness, Aoki Pheasant's hands surged with white air, and frost flowed upstream along the fiery red gun body.

"Senior Brother Kuzan, don't pull out such little tricks."

As the spear swung, the flames on the gun's body became fierce, and a steady stream of crimson replaced the original color. The moment the flames appeared, the frost melted and turned into water droplets falling to the ground.

"Lance·Frightening Phoenix!"

The tip of the gun was lowered to the ground, and the black flame ignited and gradually grew stronger. In the raging flames, a black phoenix shadow appeared, surrounding the gun head.

Taking a big step, the ground made of thousands of years of ice instantly cracked, sinking in an incomprehensible manner.

Around the hull, waves more than ten meters high rose up, scattering little bits of brilliance in the sunlight, and then returned to the sea.

One step and a thousand miles in an instant.

The enchanting black flames danced continuously, and the phoenix shadow hovering around the gun head opened its eyes, as if it had traveled through the distance of time and space, and appeared directly on Qingzhi's chest.

The color of seeing and hearing gave a crazy warning, and the color of armed force flowed quickly like splashed ink, dyeing it black before the spear landed on his chest.

"Qiang——!"

The spear with a destructive aura fell impartially, and the blazing black spear tip continued to rotate, trying to break through the opponent's defense.

"Alala, such exquisite spear skills, I almost suffered a big loss!"

A violent force came along with the gunshot, and Qingzhi felt a burning pain in his chest, and a strong burning sensation was produced in the organs in his body.

An didn't do anything during the two years he spent in Windmill Town. At least he learned a lot of exquisite spear skills from Eudora.

Jinghuang's attack was An's original move.

Holding the spear with both hands crossed, An raised his head and looked directly into Qingzhi's eyes, showing a charming smile, "Brother Kuzan, the effect of this move is far more than that."

The hit to the enemy's body at an astonishing speed just now was just the startling effect of "Shocking Phoenix", and the phoenix in it had not yet been used.

As if he understood his master's intention, the black phoenix on the tip of the gun, which symbolized destruction, rose into the sky, waving its petite wings and pounced towards the enemy.

"boom--!"

A mini mushroom cloud exploded in Aoki's chest. The shock wave of the explosion continued to tear apart the opponent's armor, and the spiraling flames engulfed both of them.

As soon as the flames and ice came into contact, white water vapor immediately evaporated.

The white mist surged, opening a passage to both sides, and a tall man wearing a white suit and a righteous cloak flew out.

Feeling the burning pain in his chest, Qingzhi looked down and found a medium-sized flame scar on his chest.

"Ice cube·Ice Tribulus!"

Looking at An rushing out of the billowing white mist, the ice under his feet stood out with cold light, and numerous ice spikes sprung up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain.

"laugh--!"

His body was extremely agile, and although he dodged most of the attacks, a small part of them still scratched An's exposed white skin.

A drop of blood flowed out, but before it could slip out of the wound, in Qingzhi's surprised eyes, these wounds recovered as before at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Now An's strong recovery ability has become an instinct, and he no longer needs to wrap the wound with the flame of life as before.

"Sacred Bird·Star Drop!"

His arms as white as snow lotus roots were intertwined, and his two fingers in the shape of orchid fingers held two flames, one red and one blue. The body tilted backward slightly, drawing out a thin line of erratic flames in front of him.

The flames merged, and the familiar red and blue cross hung in the sky. The overwhelming stream of flames was like a falling meteor, falling into the sky with unparalleled power.

"Ice cube·ice rain!"

Countless crystal-clear ice cones floated beside the blue pheasant, like tiny raindrops. Their sharp tops faced the sky, making a sharp whistling sound that reached into the sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of endless roars sounded, and ice and flames met in the sky, blooming into brilliant flowers.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of his fingers, black flames of destruction appeared out of thin air and blended into the red and blue crosses in the sky, adding a mysterious color to it.

The enhanced flame light bullet instantly tore through the rain curtain made of ice and headed towards the blue pheasant below.

"Ice Cube·Ice Edge!"

The ground suddenly bulged, and a piece of ice the size of several people appeared in front of Qingzhi, and then he waved his big hand and flew towards the barrage of flames in the sky.

"boom!"

There was another loud thunderclap, and the huge ice cone that had just been moving forward gradually slowed down under the bombardment of the flame streamer, and the fragments that split off the body surface were deeply buried in the ice.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... Under the continuous stalemate, the hot and cold kept fighting, and the hot water vapor continued to float outwards. Gradually, half of the Gulan Tezoro fell into the thick fog.

"Hey! Brother Kuzan, you haven't been hit by someone for a long time, right?"

Among the clouds, mountains, and fog, An's aura was restrained, his figure seemed to be erratic, and he appeared behind Qing Pheasant like a ghost, and said calmly.

On the black-gold fist, black fire jumped, and every jump brought invisible pressure to the surrounding space. It seemed as if the flames jumped faster and the space would collapse in the next moment.

The black thunder produced by the external release of the armed color touches Aoki's body, inhibiting the flow of elements in the opponent's body, forcing it to be unable to elementalize.

"Iron Fist·Destroy the Illusion!"

The black light dragged out the jet-black tail flame, and An's fist roared in the air like a roaring wave, like a mighty river rushing in, giving people an unstoppable sense of oppression.

Even without seeing and hearing Haki, Aokiji can clearly sense the terrifying aura behind him. A sense of crisis lingers in his heart. Anyone who hesitates in the slightest will end up seriously injured.

"Ice Gloves!"

The hands were elementalized at an extremely fast speed, and the iron fist that had been trained by Garp for more than ten years came into play at this moment. The perfect combination of the two exploded with astonishing power.

It can be said with certainty that it is only now that the navy's supreme combat power has truly shown its true strength.
