The direction that Rayleigh's life card points to is one of the books placed on the bookshelf.
The ability to seal living creatures in books... It is consistent with the information currently available.
So-
Qing Pheasant turned to look at Mondor.
In other words, he was reading the book in Mondor's hand.
"It's you..."
As soon as Aokiji spoke, Cracker and Snag, who had been silent since Aokiji came in, suddenly attacked Aokiji.
The broadsword and long sword, which were tightly covered with weapons, struck at Aoki's vital part with lightning speed.
Facing the joint attack of the two generals, Qingzhi stood there and did not make any movement.
but-
A majestic cold air emerged out of thin air, hitting Crackle and Snag like a violent wave.
In an instant, Crackle and Snag were frozen into ice sculptures.
The remaining cold air condensed into two wavy layers of ice, running through the entire library along both sides, sealing the surrounding cookie warriors into the ice layer.
It's just a face-to-face effort.
The two generals of the pirate group were frozen by Aokiji's ability.
Mondor, the only one who was not affected, stared at Aoki with his eyes wide open, unable to keep calm.
Chapter 261 Unbelievable
10 seconds.
This is the time when Aokiji invades Cake Castle and controls 99% of the troops in the castle.
1 second.
This was the time it took for Aokiji to face each other and contain the attacks of the two generals of the pirate group.
Inside the library, a chill filled the air.
Mondor, who witnessed Cracker and Snag being frozen into ice sculptures, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Ah la la."
Aoki glanced at Cracker and Snag, whose figures were vaguely visible in the thick ice.
He was not so naive... that he thought he could kill the two top cadres under the Four Emperors with a single blow of ice.
However, it’s okay to spare some time.
Uh-huh!
Qing Pheasant left a string of ice crystals shining with crystal luster on the spot. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at Mondor's side.
Taking advantage of his height advantage, Qingzhi put his elbow on Mondor's shoulder casually, and wisps of cold air spread along Mondor's shoulders to his arms and chest.
"I'm looking for someone, so please cooperate a little bit."
"!!!"
Mondor's expression suddenly changed as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
When he heard that Qing Pheasant was looking for someone, he immediately thought of Pluto Rayleigh, and then quickly showed a look of fear.
"As long as you let me go, I will cooperate with you no matter what happens!!!"
It seemed that the cold air entered his body, or he was too frightened, causing Mondor's body to tremble violently.
And just as he spoke with a trembling voice, a giant book appeared out of thin air behind Qing Zhi.
This is Mondor's book fruit ability, which can create books of different sizes out of thin air.
Although Mondor usually uses these embodied books as chairs or tables, as long as he is willing, the embodied books can contain everything.
A book as big as a double door hung quietly above Qing Zhi, and he slowly opened the book without making any noise.
It looked like a bloody mouth full of dangerous aura, facing the back of the blue pheasant's head.
Qing Pheasant seemed unaware of anything.
He looked at the sweat on Mondor's cheeks.
Such a panicked reaction and trembling body did not reveal the other party's true emotions.
This guy... is really scared.
However, compromise is false.
"No matter what..."
Qing Zhi suddenly raised his left arm, crossing it in front of him, with the palm of his left hand pointed at the book hanging above him.
Frozen time capsule!
A shock wave of cold air spurted out from Qing Zhi's palm, swallowing up the open-covered book in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
The frozen book fell heavily to the ground and was smashed into pieces.
"Even I really can't believe this."
After using the frozen time capsule to get rid of the books that were about to attack him, Aokiji's right elbow rested on Mondor's shoulder.
The cold air emanating from the body surface froze most of Mondor's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it..."
The sneak attack failed, and Mondor shivered.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m cold or because I’m scared.
Qingzhi looked at Mondor, who was basically under control, expressionlessly, and said calmly:
"Normally... once a person with abilities loses consciousness due to external force, they will automatically unlock the effect of the ability, but your 'book' ability should be regarded as one of the very few special cases."
“…”
When Mondor heard this, a cold look flashed across his eyes.
Being in danger, he was not in the mood to discuss it with Qing Zhi, so he glanced vaguely at Cracker and Snag who were frozen in ice.
If there was still a chance to hold back Aokiji, it would be to help Crackle and Snag melt the ice.
As one of the few intellectuals in the pirate group, Mondor never thought of defeating Aokiji from the beginning to the end.
All they consider is to try their best to hold back Qing Pheasant until a large number of reinforcements arrive!
"you are right."
Mondor couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart and took the initiative to tell:
"Even if you knock me out, the power of the book fruit will not be unlocked. This is why the library exists. And if you kill me, then the person you are looking for will become a book forever. Something in the middle!!!”
"Yeah… "
Qing Pheasant was noncommittal and suddenly increased the cold air output.
Crunchy—
In less than a breath, the intact half of Mondor's body was also frozen by the cold air.
But just before he turned into an ice sculpture, the small book he was holding in his hand was thrown towards Cracker and Snag.
"Brother Cracker, Snag... we must not let Aoki Pheasant succeed!"
Before Mondor's consciousness was frozen, he flew towards Cracker and Snag's books, and suddenly the muzzle of a gun was revealed.
When the muzzle was pointed, a stream of hot flames spurted out from the muzzle and bombarded the ice that trapped Cracker and Snag.
Suddenly, bright firelight filled the entire library.
"Ah la la..."
Watching the blazing flames engulfing the ice that trapped Cracker and Snag, Aokiji remained unmoved and dodged directly to the bookshelf deep in the library.
Following the guidance of the life card, Aoki quickly found the book where Rayleigh was imprisoned among the neatly arranged books.
Qingzhi opened the book and saw human beings imprisoned in the pages of the book, exuding an aura of despair and decadence.
Without paying much attention, Aokiji finally turned to the page cage where Rayleigh was imprisoned after turning nearly a hundred pages.
Through the three-dimensional prison rod pattern, Aoki saw Rayleigh with all his limbs broken off.
And Rayleigh, who was in the cage of pages, also saw Aoki Pheasant.
When the two looked at each other, they each showed surprise.
Aoki was surprised by Rayleigh's miserable condition.
Rayleigh was surprised by the arrival of the blue pheasant.
While their eyes were intertwined, there was no communication between them.
Qingzhi took the lead to look away and looked at the book in his hand.
It was easy to tear the pages of the book, but it would most likely affect Rayleigh who was trapped in the book.
"It's natural that books are afraid of fire."
Holding the book in one hand, Qingzhi ducked and came to the blazing fire created by Mondor.
Immediately, Qingzhi reached into the fire with the book in hand.
Books burn when exposed to fire.
The flames of greed spread across the pages.
The end of the paper first turned brown, and then quickly burned.
The first thing to be burned was the pattern representing the cage railings.
Rayleigh, who was in the cage of pages, stood up when he saw the situation, rushed out of the cage railing, which had a large hole opened, and successfully returned to the library in reality.
Although Rayleigh reacted extremely quickly, he still suffered some burns on his body.
This is not because he moves too slowly, but because when the book is attacked, the feedback will be doubled into the pages.
For example, when a palm-sized flame falls on a book page, from the perspective of the book page, you will only see a monstrous fire rising into the sky.
Seeing that Lei Li was out of trouble, Qing Pheasant threw the book aside.
Snap.
The book fell to the ground, still burning.
Amidst bursts of screams, figures rushed out of the flames and escaped back to reality.
These figures are people trapped in the pages of the book like Rayleigh.
"So hot, so hot..."
"My meat is about to be roasted!!!"
"I finally escaped, wuwu..."
There were only about a dozen people who escaped after Rayleigh, and each of them had what looked like serious burns on their bodies.
As for those who couldn't escape...
A man whose hair and beard were burned off looked back at the book that was about to be burned to ashes. His red face couldn't help but reveal a look of lingering fear.
If it had been a second or two later, I'm afraid it would have turned into charcoal.
"Pluto Rayleigh..."
"And Admiral Aokiji!?"
The people who escaped quickly noticed the presence of Aokiji and Rayleigh after they shook off the flames on their bodies.
Immediately, they were either shocked or in disbelief when they recognized the identities of Aoki Pheasant and Lei Li.
Qing Pheasant ignored the group of people and came straight to Lei Li.
"Ah la la, it went smoother than expected."
