When Blackbeard himself appeared, he was able to convince Aokiji to abandon his companions and even join his crew, taking advantage of his desire to live freely, free from World Government control. gender.
Kuzan single-handedly defeated Blackbeard’s crew, and he did it twice
Aokiji’s encounter with the Blackbeard Pirates could very well be part of a ruse to infiltrate the world’s most dangerous pirate crew. Regardless of the former Admiral’s real reason, what was most impressive was that when Lafitte suggested that Blackbeard steal Kuzan’s powers, the former Admiral responded by immediately freezing the entire crew of the former Admiral. Blackbeard once again proves that it wasn’t a fluke the first time around. The Logia Type is actually one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in the world, and Aokiji has shown great mastery over his powers since his debut, as he quickly taught the Straw Hats to fear first. the strength of a Navy admiral. One of the possible reasons why he lost the duel with Sakazuki was that Kuzan’s ice powers were at a disadvantage against the current Fleet Admiral’s ability to generate Magu Magu no Mi.
However, also in this chapter, Vice Admiral Garp is able to quickly break free from Kuzan’s ice thanks to the ferocious power of Conqueror Haki. This is consistent with the fact that, as stated previously in the series, a strong enough Haki can counter the power of a Devil Fruit. Later, Kuzan’s dominance over Teach’s crew highlighted the Blackbeard Pirates’ weakness, which was their over-reliance on Devil Fruits. They are nicknamed “ability hunters” because of their obsession with stealing powerful Devil Fruits, but it seems the Blackbeard Pirates are lacking in Haki. Over-reliance on Devil Fruit powers leaves them vulnerable to skilled Haki users or those with stronger abilities, such as Kuzan’s tame Hito Hito no Mi.
Kuzan just reminded everyone of the power of the Logia system
The Logia Devil Fruit is considered to be the pinnacle of power early in the series, represented by all three Navy Admirals who ate one of them. However, as One Piece develops, the growth of Haki makes Logia types seem no longer invincible. IN Aokiji/KuzanIn his case, his Ice Logia is still one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in the series, and he just proved it by single-handedly defeating them all. Blackbeard Pirates except for their captain, showing that strong Haki is a must to face the strongest warriors in the world. A piece world.
