Marineford.
Vice Admiral Tsuru hurriedly found Sengoku, directly pushing open the Fleet Admiral's office door and urgently saying, "Sengoku, Gion called. A few hours ago, the battle between Red Hawk and Hawkeye ended, and it seems they fought to a draw.
After they finished, Kuzan also arrived and began fighting Red Hawk. The battle situation on site is still very tense!"
"Indeed… A few hours ago. Are those spectators still on Kuraigana Island now?" Sengoku's expression was slightly solemn as he looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru and asked.
Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded in response, "All of them are there: Doflamingo, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, Gekko Moriah, Golden Emperor Tesoro. The most crucial thing is that the entire Red Hair Pirates are there!"
After Vice Admiral Tsuru finished speaking, Sengoku did not respond immediately but began to ponder. After more than ten seconds, he said, "To be safe, send Borsalino there, but tell him not to conflict with Red Hair."
"This old woman understands." Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately responded, then quickly went to make arrangements.

More than an hour later.
The sky over Kuraigana Island had already plunged into darkness, but the battle situation on site remained incredibly tense.
"I didn't expect your strength to grow so quickly." Aokiji looked up at Andy in the air, his voice low and cold. "It seems I shouldn't have been merciful in West Blue back then!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from his original spot!
"Whoosh—!"
The ice surface shattered, and Aokiji's figure flickered like a ghost in front of Andy. His right fist, imbued with extreme cold Haki, violently slammed towards Andy's chest!
"Ice Gauntlet!"
Andy's crimson eyes once again showed a strange red glow. His wings suddenly folded, and at the same time, his right claw, wreathed in dark red flames, bravely met the attack!
"Sky-Burning Claw!"
"Boom—!!!"
The moment the fist and claw collided, a terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring shape!
The ice plain cracked inch by inch, and the sea was churned into giant waves dozens of meters high. The spectators had no choice but to retreat again, and those with weaker strength were even shaken to the point of spitting blood!
"Crack, crack, crack—!"
Aokiji's ice fist and Andy's flames were locked in a stalemate, with the extreme cold and scorching hot powers clashing wildly. Piercing explosive sounds continuously echoed in the air!
"Your flames… are indeed troublesome." Aokiji said coldly, the ice crystals on his fist continuously melting, yet reforming under the enhancement of Haki.
"This is just the beginning, Admiral Aokiji. The taste of being burned by karma isn't pleasant, is it?!" Andy grinned, and the flames on his claw suddenly surged!
"Boom—!"
Both were simultaneously pushed back. Aokiji slid back dozens of meters, leaving two deep gouges on the ice surface; while Andy was sent flying high into the sky by the impact, only stabilizing himself after his wings suddenly spread out.
"I'm going to make you a sick chicken!" Andy laughed maniacally, his wings flapping, and his body plunged downwards like a meteor!
Aokiji's eyes narrowed, and his hands suddenly pressed onto the ice surface—
"Thousand Thorn Spears!"
"Swish, swish, swish—!"
Countless sharp ice spears broke through the ice, rising like a thorny forest, piercing straight into the sky!
Andy neither dodged nor avoided. His wings swept horizontally like blades, and flames and lightning intertwined into a destructive storm, shattering all incoming ice spears!
"Heavenly Fire Incineration!"
"Rumble—!"
The flame storm swept down, instantly evaporating a huge deep pit in the ice plain. Seawater poured in, only to be instantly vaporized by the high temperature, and the entire battlefield was enveloped in a vast expanse of white steam!
"Observation Haki… is being interfered with again!" On the shore, Vice Admiral Gion gritted her teeth, her hand gripping konpira trembling slightly.
In the mist, Aokiji's figure quietly emerged. His right arm was completely elementalized, and cold air condensed in his palm into a crystal-clear giant ice sword!
"Ice Sword!"
"Whoosh—!"
The moment the ice sword slashed down, the air itself froze into fine ice crystals. Wherever the sword edge passed, even flames were frozen!
Andy suddenly turned sideways. The ice sword grazed his wing, and the extremely cold sword energy instantly froze half of his wing!
"Tsk!" Andy's eyes turned cold. The frozen wing suddenly shook, flames erupted, and the ice crystals instantly shattered!
But just in that instant of vulnerability, Aokiji's left hand had already pressed onto his chest—
"Ice Age!"
"Crack—!"
Terrifying cold air instantly spread, and Andy's chest to his right arm were frozen in the blink of an eye!
"The Marine's justice is not something you can profane." Aokiji said coldly, raising the ice sword high and bringing it down towards Andy's head!
"Justice? Heh…" Andy's lips, however, curled into a sinister smile. The karma flames on his body once again erupted with a roar.
"Boom—!"
The frozen body suddenly ignited with dark red flames, and the ice crystals instantly vaporized under the high temperature! Andy's right claw, wreathed in boiling flames, suddenly clasped Aokiji's ice sword!
"What?!" Aokiji's pupils contracted sharply.
"Sky Burn!"
"Crunch—!"
The ice sword was crushed forcefully. Andy's left claw simultaneously pierced Aokiji's abdomen, and karma flames instantly poured into his body!
"Pfft—!"
Blood splattered. Aokiji grunted, but he did not retreat. Instead, he endured the pain in his body and soul, grabbing Andy's wrist, and extreme cold Haki surged wildly into him!
"Ice Age: Eternal Freeze!"
"Crack, crack, crack—!"
Andy's entire left arm was instantly frozen, and the cold even spread along his meridians towards his heart!
"Your willpower is truly impressive, but I still want you dead!" Andy roared, his right wing sweeping horizontally like a battle axe, heavily striking Aokiji's shoulder!
"Bang—!"
Aokiji was sent flying hundreds of meters by this blow, crashing deep into the ice layer, leaving a shocking gouge on the ice plain!
"Admiral Kuzan!" Marine soldiers cried out in terror.
Andy looked down at his frozen left arm. Flames surged, and the ice layer slowly melted, but the cold had already penetrated to his bone marrow.
But it didn't matter.
"Crack—!"
In the distance, the ice layer exploded, and Aokiji slowly stood up. The wound on his abdomen had been frozen to stop the bleeding, but his face was as pale as paper, and his breathing became heavy.
"It's not over yet…" he muttered softly, his hands suddenly clasped together!
"Ice Age!"
"Rumble, rumble, rumble—!"
The ice layer of the entire sea area surged wildly, and countless giant ice tentacles broke through the ice, grabbing towards Andy like the claws of a giant beast!
Andy flapped his wings, rapidly ascending, while simultaneously condensing two blazing fireballs in his claws and violently flinging them at the ice tentacles!
"Karma: Bipolar Blast!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The fireballs exploded, shattering the ice tentacles into a sky full of ice crystals, but more tentacles emerged from beneath the sea, seemingly endless!
"It's useless…" Aokiji's voice came from the ice mist. "As long as the sea remains, my ice… will never run dry!"
Andy sneered, his wings suddenly spread to their limit, and dark red flames intertwined with black-gold lightning, forming a destructive energy vortex!
"Then… I'll evaporate the sea along with it!"
"Heavenly Tribulation: World Annihilation!"
"Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!"
The sky suddenly darkened, thunderclouds rolled, and countless dark red lightning-fires descended from the sky, striking the sea surface like divine punishment!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ice layer shattered, the seawater boiled, and the entire sea area rapidly evaporated under the high temperature. A vast expanse of white steam rose into the sky, obscuring the entire firmament!
"Are these two lunatics… trying to destroy this island along with it?!" Doflamingo's sunglasses reflected the blazing firelight, but the corners of his mouth curved into an excited arc.
In the steam, Aokiji's figure staggered backward. His ice domain was completely disintegrated, and his extreme cold Haki was exhausted.
"Oh, how scary, Red Hawk. This old man is starting to fear you~" Just as Andy was about to make another move, Kizaru appeared in the air, looking at Andy from afar.
