Chapter 88 The Navy’s Counterattack.

"Then this is the animal type?" Zhang Shan said: "Animal type, and it's full of thorns, maybe it's the hedgehog fruit?"

"Hiss~ Now that you mention it, it's really possible!"

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the fruit. If it was just a hedgehog, this fruit would really not be attractive at all.

Hill put the fruit back into the box and said, "Put it away for now. When you have a chance, go to the black market and buy half of the Devil Fruit Picture Book. Then you can compare it with the original one and you will know."

"That's fine. We don't really need this thing anyway." Zhang Shan nodded.

Gray and Blue don't want to become landlubbers and have no interest in devil fruits. As for the others, Law is already a special ability user and cannot eat a second one. Hill, Krillin, and Zhang Shan will not eat a fruit with unknown abilities. At least they have to understand the ability of the fruit before considering whether to eat it.

They sailed on the sea for three days. During this time, the group did not dare to go to the island for supplies, for fear of being blocked by the navy.

Putting down today's newspaper, Hill frowned, "It's been three days, and the Navy hasn't released any news at all. Even Morgans didn't report our story. Something is wrong, very wrong!"

Zhang Shan and his friends were playing cards together. Hearing Hill's words, Zhang Shan smiled and said, "He must not want to be laughed at by the whole world, so he sealed the news. This is not the first time the navy has done this."

"That's right. Maybe they are now discussing how to block us, and then send out their top forces to catch us in one fell swoop, and then publicize their achievements to the whole world. This is the navy's usual style!" Klin said.

"Being surrounded is really difficult..." Hill looked worried.

"Don't worry, Hill. They can't do anything to us with me here!"

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Hill smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, my captain is the strongest."

No matter how worried they are, it seems that all they can do now is to keep moving forward. Once they enter the new world, even the navy will be unable to do anything to them.

Meanwhile, in the New World, Egghead Island.

Vegapunk threw Aokiji into a large furnace. The scorching heat hit him in the face, and Kizaru, who was standing by, couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat on his face with a handkerchief, asking, "Will this thing roast Aokiji directly?"

Vegapunk on the side rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, this temperature is not enough to unlock absolute zero."

Kizaru didn't say anything. He looked at Aokiji in the stove. It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.

However, as the temperature in the furnace continued to rise, Kizaru began to sweat, and even the handkerchief could not wipe it all off.

But Aokiji in the furnace was not affected at all. As soon as the high temperature approached Aokiji, it was as if blocked by an invisible wall and could not move forward at all.

After waiting for a few minutes, Vegapunk turned off the stove, dragged Aokiji out with an instrument, and said helplessly: "Absolute Zero, how do we unlock this thing?"

After thinking for a long time, his eyes finally lit up and he said to Kizaru: "Take Aokiji with you, and let's go to the next experiment!"

Kizaru had no objection and took Aokiji to follow Vegapunk.

After a while, the two came to a private room surrounded by huge speakers. Kizaru placed Aokiji in the center of the speakers.

"Go out."

Although he didn't understand what Vegapunk was going to do, out of trust, Kizaru followed Vegapunk out of the box.

Vegapunk's No. 1 clone closed the door behind them, and the next moment, the speakers in the box made a sharp explosion!
However, the room has good sound insulation and almost no sound can be heard from inside.

The two sat in front of the computer, watching what was going on inside. After the speakers were turned on, a circle of blue light appeared around Aokiji's body, as if resisting the sound waves from the outside world.

After watching for a while, Old Beitou directly pressed the stop button and explained in front of Kizaru's puzzled eyes: "Aokiji is still releasing his abilities instinctively. If he continues to consume it like this, he will die sooner or later due to exhaustion."

Hearing this, Kizaru said, "Is there no other way?"

"Well, yes, there is, but the navy can't do it..." Vegapunk hesitated and said, "Either you break through the absolute zero defense instantly, Aokiji should be able to wake up, or ask Whitebeard for help?"

"White beard?"

"Well, let him use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to continuously vibrate, maybe he can break the absolute zero."

Well, Kizaru finally understood why Vegapunk said that the navy couldn’t do it.

It would be more realistic to pray that Aokiji wakes up on his own than to ask Whitebeard for help.

With a helpless sigh, Kizaru said, "Then I'll leave Aokiji with you for now. I'll go back and report the situation to the Marshal."

"Eh? You're not taking Aokiji with you?"

"Of course not. He is just an ice cube now. Every time I get close to him, I have to use Haki to protect myself. It would be so tiring to bring him back~" Kizaru said lazily, "I'd better leave it with you first."

After saying that, Kizaru turned into golden light and disappeared in front of Vegapunk.

Back on the warship, Kizaru immediately took out the Den Den Mushi and reported what happened here to Sengoku.

At the same time, above the Red Earth Continent, the Five Elder Stars are located.

In front of the five old men stood the Navy Marshal Sengoku.

As they were talking, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi rang.

After looking at the five people, Zhan Guo answered the phone at their request.

"This is the Warring States period!"

On the other side, Kizaru sat on a recliner on the warship and said leisurely, "Marshal, Aokiji has been sent to Vegapunk. The other party has no way to deal with him now. I'm afraid Aokiji won't be able to recover in a short time."

After hearing what Kizaru said, Sengoku frowned and said in a deep voice: "I understand. You go back to the Navy Headquarters first and be ready to accept deployment at any time."

"Yes~"

After leisurely hanging up the phone, Kizaru looked towards the endless sea and said to himself: "The newcomers nowadays are so scary~"

Holy Land.

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo looked at the Five Elders with a heavy face and said, "This is what happened. I believe you have all seen the predictions of the battle. Zhang Shan's strength is beyond our understanding. In front of him, Aokiji had basically no power to fight back. He was beaten by Zhang Shan and entered a state of suspended animation for self-protection."

When the admiral sets out to fight, the navy naturally has the means to track him, not to mention the world's largest news agency Morgans following him. The battle between Zhang Shan and Aokiji was basically restored by the navy, and the final conclusion was that Aokiji was no match for Zhang Shan.

Therefore, Sengoku came here now to ask the Five Elder Stars whether to release what Zhang Shan did, and with the instigation of the Navy and the World Government, directly push Zhang Shan to the position of the next Pirate King candidate. At that time, even without their action, a group of desperate criminals will go to trouble Zhang Shan.
