Super Card System-Chapter 508: Arrival of Aokiji

As Kizaru fell, engulfed in flames, Hawkins suddenly appeared. With his colossal Scarecrow Form, he leaped into the air and caught Kizaru.

For Kizaru, the flames were by no means lethal. So, when he was captured by Hawkins, he transformed into light and escaped from Hawkinss grasp, delivering a Light Kick on his way out.

Needless to say, Hawkins was severely wounded, crashing into the ground with a bone-shattering impact, creating a massive crater. His Demonic Form couldnt be maintained any longer.

However, even at such a cost, Hawkins had not left empty-handed. As the dust and smoke cleared from the large pit, Hawkins struggled to climb out and, to everyones surprise, he had obtained something a small scarecrow puppet.

Drake stood by the edge of the pit and received the scarecrow puppet from Hawkins.

Upon seeing the scarecrow puppet in Drakes hand, Kizaru immediately realized what was happening. He knew he was in trouble and attempted to reach Drake with his Eight Span Mirror, but he never got the chance.

At that moment, Ians figure suddenly appeared, and he swiftly swung his Senbonzakura at the Light Channel, wrapping it with Haki. He instantly interrupted Kizarus advance.

Seizing this opportunity, Drake opened his Allosaurus jaws wide and bit into the scarecrow puppet!

In the next moment, Kizaru let out a horrific scream. His abdomen suddenly burst open, leaving a massive gaping wound. Blood gushed out profusely.

Even Ian, witnessing this scene, was somewhat astonished. He had previously inflicted some injuries on Kizaru, but the combined damage was nothing compared to the intensity of this one. This left Ian looking somewhat surprised as he turned his gaze towards Hawkins.

Though Hawkins had blood covering his face, he explained to Ian, This is a curse technique. Voodoo puppet!

Earlier, when Ian struck Kizaru and sent him plummeting, it created an excellent opportunity for Hawkins. When he embraced Kizaru, he wasnt aiming to attack him but rather to obtain something specific Kizarus hair!

With this hair, Hawkins could utilize his voodoo abilities. His Straw-Man Fruit allowed him to use his powers on the hairs owner, much like legendary witchcraft. Normally, Hawkins would acquire the hair of pirates and bury them within his puppet bodies, which would then be integrated into his own body. This way, when he faced a potentially fatal injury, he could transfer the damage to the puppets body, sparing himself from a deadly blow. This was the first type of voodoo.

In this particular case, the second type of voodoo was used. It involved creating a puppet body using Kizarus hair and having Drake attack that puppet body directly. When the puppet body sustained damage, Kizaru would also suffer the same injuries.

The reason for not using the first type of curse was that it required some time to create the puppet, which couldnt be done immediately. Hence, they employed the second type. Nevertheless, this curse would mitigate some of the damage, as without it, Drakes powerful bite force might have directly killed Kizaru.

Surprisingly, their teamwork this time successfully inflicted significant damage on Kizaru. Well, it should be said that the three of them worked together because without Ians attack, they might not have been able to get close to Kizaru.

Upon understanding what was happening, Ian was also surprised. He didnt expect Hawkins ability to be used in this way. It seems that he had underestimated them before. How could those who are considered Supernovas in the world of pirates have such high bounties without considerable skills?

Due to the curse of the Straw Man puppetry technique, it directly affects Kizarus main body. So, even if Kizaru elementalizes, its of no use. The Logia-type Devil Fruit isnt invincible, especially when encountering such a restraining ability.

Kizarus abdominal injury was severe, most likely a result of Drakes Allosaurus teeth clamping down on the puppet.

However, Kizarus battle experience is quite rich. Once he came to his senses, he quickly tried to stop the bleeding himself. He even used Haki to harden and seal his wounds!

However, no matter how you look at it, Kizarus combat capability will undoubtedly decrease after receiving this heavy damage. So Ian drew his sword and charged at Kizaru. He didnt care about what the Marines were planning. Perhaps killing a Marine Admiral here would disrupt their plans!

However, perhaps it wasnt in Kizarus fate to die. When Ian slashed at Kizaru with a Flying Slash, a thick and extremely solid ice wall shield suddenly appeared in front of Kizaru!

Ians Flying Slash passed through the ice wall, but it was ultimately nullified due to the force, allowing Kizaru to evade it.

Upon seeing this ice wall, Ian instantly realized that Kuzan had arrived!

True to form, a tall and slender figure emerged from behind Kizaru. Aokiji wore an eye patch, a vest, and had his Marine coat draped over his arm as he walked towards their location.

Ian! Aokiji appeared and spoke with a stern expression. What are you up to? Do you intend to kill a Marine Admiral?

Admiral Aokiji Ian didnt answer his question but instead inquired, You arrived so quickly. What brought you here so fast?

Aokijis timing had caught Ian off guard. He had expected Aokiji to arrive a bit later, but it seemed he had come much sooner.

Aokiji pointed at the pair of ice skates he was wearing and responded, I had no choice; the ship wasnt fast enough, so I ice-skated here.

Ice-skated!? Ian was taken aback but realized how Aokiji had reached them. Aokiji had likely frozen the entire waterway between Sabaody Archipelago and Marineford in the Ice Age.

Why ice skate when you have a bicycle!?

Or does having ice skates make a bicycle redundant?

As Aokiji spoke, he extended his hand and touched Kizarus abdominal wound, freezing it. With the wound sealed this way, the pain was considerably reduced, far better than when Kizaru used Busoshoku Haki to seal it. Kizarus complexion improved, and he let out a sigh, saying, I never expected Id come so close to being outsmarted by a bunch of youngsters.

Drake, Hawkins, and Scratchmen Apoo, all three of them now wore troubled expressions. Another Marine Admiral had appeared, and they were faced with a new dilemma.

Ian found himself in a moment of hesitation. Should he continue the battle? Urouges sudden attack had thrown a wrench in the works at a critical juncture. If they pressed on with the fight, Ian would be facing two Marine Admirals alone, even with Hawkins and the others in tow. However, it was likely to be a daunting challenge.

At the same time, Aokiji was closely watching Ians expression. To be honest, Aokiji had been infuriated when he arrived here. He hadnt expected to fall into Matthews trap, which led him to doze off, allowing Ian and the others to escape from Marineford. Nevertheless, even though he was vexed, facing Ian was equally challenging. He understood that Ian now possessed the strength of a Marine Admiral, and Ians fire abilities were particularly effective against him. Even with Kizaru as an ally, theyd find it challenging to subdue Ian in the short term.

Just when tension in the scene reached its peak, a sudden and intense explosion sounded from the left!

Both sides turned to look, only to witness a group of individuals rushing in from the left. When Ian saw this group, he was momentarily stunned, as he immediately recognized them.

It was the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Luffy, and what was even more surprising was that it wasnt just the Straw Hat Pirates. Among this group of people was Trafalgar D. Water Law, a Supernova, along with his Heart Pirates crew members.

Trailing behind them were two identical Pacifistas and a plump fellow with an axe and a loincloth.

Ian recognized the chubby figure; it was no other than Kizarus nephew, Sentomaru

Help! Nami ran to the forefront, her eyes shut tight as she desperately fled. She sprinted while loudly crying for help.

The two Pacifistas continued their chase, firing laser beams relentlessly at both the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates. Though the laser beams didnt hit Luffys group, they triggered a series of massive explosions behind them.

It dawned on Ian that the Pacifista he had defeated earlier was PX-3. This revelation meant that Sabaody Archipelago had at least two more Pacifistas: PX-1 and PX-2.

Now, of all the possibilities, the remaining two Pacifistas had chosen to pursue the Straw Hat Pirates.

But seriously, what in the world was going on with the Heart Pirates? How had they ended up alongside the Straw Hat Pirates?
