One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 17 Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit Fragments ×100

As Rorschach's hands gradually enlarged in Aokiji's eyes, and as Rorschach touched the ice ball formed from the cold air, Aokiji's heart skipped a beat.

He knew exactly how lethal the icy ball of cold energy he had just conjured was; it could kill a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million in an instant, let alone Rorschach.

But what shocked him was now unfolding before his eyes.

Rorschach simply picked up the ice puck from Aokiji's hand with a light touch, and Rorschach himself had a calm expression, as if he was very skilled at it.

The moment Luo Xia touched the puck, he felt a surge of joy.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 2 fragments of the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit]

Luo Xia was overjoyed; he had guessed correctly. However, on the surface, Luo Xia maintained a calm demeanor, holding the ice puck in both hands.

Aokiji was shocked to see this. As a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, he knew perfectly well how cold the ball of cold air in Rorschach's hand was.

Especially since Rorschach was holding that ice puck right in front of him.

Luo Xia didn't pay attention to Qingzhi's gaze. Instead, he gripped the ice ball tightly with both hands, his hands glowing with a bright blue light, and the cold energy in his hands was constantly being compressed.

Before long, the ice ball, now shrunk by two sizes, appeared before everyone's eyes. Under everyone's watchful gaze, Luo Xia pressed the ice ball directly down onto Jin Piluo's sword.

Luo Xia nodded silently; that was exactly the image in his mind.

Seeing that Luo Xia no longer had the ice puck in his hand, everyone asked, "Brother Luo Xia, is... is it finished?"

"No, it will probably take many more times, and I'll have to trouble Admiral Aokiji for that."

Luo Xia shook his head and explained that, according to the hint he had just received, he would need about forty-nine more attempts to obtain a Frozen Fruit, which would be one hundred fragments.

Rorschach's eyes were shining with excitement at the sight of this top-tier fruit, and he looked at Aokiji with an undisguised fervor.

"Uh, synthesis guy."

Just as Luo Xia was lost in thought, a slightly lazy voice rang out. Luo Xia looked up and saw it was Qingzhi, whose eyes held an indescribable complexity.

"General Aokiji, what brings you here?"

Is your hand alright?

Luo Xia looked at his hands, which were now emitting a faint blue light, and didn't look like anything was wrong.

Luo Xia shook his head, "It's nothing!"

Aokiji was even more confused now. He scratched his head and asked, "Synthesis Bro, the ice ball I just conjured could freeze a person to death. Are you alright?"

Since almost everyone on the field was of vice admiral level or above, with only Rorschach having a low combat strength, Aokiji was naturally surprised.

"It's alright, my ability is special."

Aokiji scratched his head; he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He then continued to condense ice balls for Rorschach, and for a moment the only sounds in the room were the crisp sound of Rorschach pressing the Kinpira and the "crunch crunch" sound of Garp.

The temperature in the entire villa's living room plummeted as Aokiji created the ice ball, and even Chaton started yawning, which showed just how cold it was.

However, Luo Xia, who was in a state of excitement, did not feel cold; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

Because he kept hearing notification sounds in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 2 Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit Fragments]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 2 Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit Fragments]

More than an hour had passed, and although Rorschach's face was frosty, he seemed very happy because all he had to do was press the last ice puck into the kinpilor, and the job would be done.

Meanwhile, in Luo Xia's system backpack, a hundred icy blue fragments lay quietly in the system space.

As Luo Xia pressed the last ice ball, radiating cold energy, into the Golden Pilo, the Golden Pilo underwent a qualitative change. The entire blade of the Golden Pilo turned completely ice blue, looking incredibly beautiful, a scene that stunned everyone present.

Moreover, the sword exuded an unparalleled chill, the same chill that Aokiji possessed from his Ice-Ice Fruit.

At this moment, everyone was staring blankly at the sword that Rorschach had placed on the table.

Just then, a voice sounded in Luo Xia's mind: [Ding! Detected 100 fragments of the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit, meeting the synthesis requirements. Do you wish to synthesize?]

Luo Xia swallowed hard and immediately said, "Synthesize!"

In an instant, a flash of icy blue light appeared in Rorschach's mind, and an Ice-Ice Fruit was prominently listed.

[Ding! Do you wish to consume the Nature-type Ice-Ice Fruit?]

[Currently available number of Devil Fruits: 1.]

Although Luo Xia was a little confused, he didn't think too much about it and immediately expressed his feelings.

In an instant, the group that had been observing Jin Piluo in the villa's living room suddenly felt a massive burst of cold energy erupt from Luo Xia's body.

The shockwave generated by the Ice-Ice Fruit rushed towards the four of them.

The four men used their hands to block the oncoming blast of air, and when they looked up, they saw a person completely frozen in ice.

Garp was horrified, covering his head with his hands and staring wide-eyed at the scene.

Aokiji was even more shocked, "A...a hybrid kid?"

At that moment, Gion also saw clearly that the figure frozen in ice was Rorschach.

Rorschach!

With a very serious expression, Garp reached out and grabbed Aokiji's arm, asking, "Kuzan, what's going on?"

"Why did this kid turn out like this?"

Aokiji scratched his head in a troubled expression, and just as he was about to step forward, the humanoid block of ice suddenly cracked open, and Rorschach stepped out from it.

At this moment, the palm that was originally glowing with a blue light had turned ice blue, and half of Rorschach's face was covered with ice, just like when Aokiji activated his ability.

Luo Xia looked at the four people with a blank expression and slowly asked, "What...what's wrong with you guys?"

"And did you, Admiral Aokiji, do this villa? It's all shiny and shiny!"

Aokiji's lips twitched, utterly speechless, but now was not the time for idle chatter; he was becoming increasingly curious about Luo Xia.

Moreover, this state was just like his Ice-Ice Fruit, and a bold guess instantly came to Aokiji's mind.

"You brat, this wasn't Kuzan's doing, it was you!"

Rorschach frowned and slowly walked up to Garp, saying in a serious tone, "How could that be? I don't have the Ice-Ice Fruit ability. Don't talk nonsense, old man!"

If it weren't for the frozen marks still visible on half of his face, Garp would have believed it.

At this moment, Gion also said, "Rorschach, it was you who did it. Take a good look at your face!"

As she spoke, Gion pulled out a mirror and placed it in front of Rorschach.
