With a massive boom!
Chinjao couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. He was sent flying and smashed heavily onto the ice.
And Abel, due to the mutual force, crashed into the ice layer like a cannonball. But it didn't matter; he wasn't injured.
"So it's iron head you're using, huh? I'll crush your dog head!"
Abel, who had returned to the ice, couldn't help but spit viciously down onto the ground.
Chinjao also staggered to his feet, looking a bit dazed from the punch he had just received.
Well, that's to be expected. His original pointed head had been flattened by Garp's punch, and now his flat head had been turned into a basin by Abel's two punches.
Yet, his skull didn't crack or ooze out his brains, proving just how hard his head was!
Feeling dizzy, Chinjao subconsciously reached out to touch his head, then his body stiffened.
The top of his head had caved in, and his heart plummeted into a deep abyss.
"With this look, I'll be mocked by the other pillars for life."
"Is the Garp family really my nemesis?"
"I can't accept this!"
With red eyes, Chinjao glared at Abel, "Even if I die here today, I'll take you down with me!"
"I'm afraid you really don't have the ability to do so."
Abel was unapologetically confrontational. In a battle of life and death, there was no distinction between young and old.
The victor stands while the loser lies down; it's that simple!
"Eight Shock Fists Secret Technique: Spike Dragon Nail - Chinjao Open the Gate!"
Chinjao charged, launching a headbutt at Abel.
This move had been sealed with the disappearance of the pointed head, but in this moment of life and death, Chinjao concentrated all his strength on his head, trying to recreate the glory of his prime.
But it's undeniable, he was old now, his physical condition far from his peak.
Without the pointed head, not to mention the flat head anymore, this move couldn't even open the icy continent, let alone a refrigerator.
Feeling the chains tighten around him, Abel, emotionless, swung his right fist again.
A surge of blue flames added terrifying power to the punch.
Quadruple power plus the critical hit effect of "Suit Thug," how could Chinjao resist it?!
Boom!!!
When Abel's punch landed on Chinjao's head, it was all over.
His head was indeed exceptionally hard, surviving such a powerful punch without shattering.
But the other parts of his body were obviously not as hard as his head.
Thus, his neck snapped instantly, and his head was driven into his body.
The leader of the violent Chinjao family, the 12th pillar of the Flower Country's Treasure Marine — Chinjao, died in battle!
Until the end, he never begged for mercy or conceded, nor did he attempt to escape or call for help.
In this regard, he could be considered a true tough guy.
After the fight, Abel took a deep breath.
At such an advanced age, he was still so difficult to deal with.
If it were his prime, it would indeed have been a fierce battle, possibly requiring all of Abel's methods to win.
But age is age, and powerful as Whitebeard was, he couldn't fight the passage of time.
Except for that freak, Garp!
This time, without any prompt from Abel, Baby-5, having returned to her human form, rushed to check Chinjao's soul.
Then she nodded excitedly at Abel, "The enraged human soul, found!"
Hearing this good news, Abel finally breathed a sigh of relief. After searching for so long and going all the way to the West Sea to devise a way to kill a great pirate, his efforts had finally paid off.
"If this doesn't meet the requirements, I want to curse my luck," Abel thought to himself.
As Baby-5 activated her next weapon form, Abel approached the Gem Ice Mountain and gently placed his hand upon it.
"Open!" he exclaimed lightly.
With that command, the previously hard-to-open Gem Ice Mountain obediently split apart, revealing a pathway wide enough for several people to walk through side by side.
Clearly, this was the power of the "Ice Dragon's Legacy."
This entire continent of ice was his home turf.
So it's no surprise that Chinjao stood no chance. If Abel had not been merciful and used the full extent of his ice powers, he could have easily taken him down.
But in the end, Abel still granted him a dignified end.
Walking inside, he threw out "Universal Capsule No. 1" without bothering to pick and choose valuable items, he just stuffed everything into the vault.
With less than 8 cubic meters of space, he could still hold a considerable treasure.
It was obvious that he had already set his sights on these treasures before his arrival, which is why he emptied his safe in advance.
His initial thought was not to leave empty-handed; even if Chinjao's spirit turned out to be unsuitable, at least he had these treasures as consolation.
Now, it was a win-win. He won twice over by himself, feeling extremely pleased!
After filling the safe, Abel stowed it back into "Universal Capsule No. 1" and then proceeded to exit, sealing the now open Gem Ice Mountain once more.
He already considered the treasures inside as his own, intending to come and take some whenever he needed money.
At present, no one in the Flower Country could open it, so he felt very confident.
And the treasures of the Flower Country were not limited to just those within Gem Ice Mountain; those were Chinjao's own.
The rest of the hidden wealth lay beneath the ice of this continent, amassed by the nation's pillars of society from their conquests.
Now, all of these riches benefited Abel alone.
For one with the talent "Ice Dragon's Legacy," accessing these treasures was as simple as reaching into a bag—taking them whenever he pleased, however he pleased.
With this, he no longer had to penny-pinch for shipbuilding money; he could buy whatever he wanted!
Once Abel emerged, Baby-5 had also successfully activated her next weapon form.
Moreover, her soul power had greatly increased, eliminating the embarrassment of collapsing in weakness after using a skill.
Her support for Abel had undeniably become even stronger.
However, now was not the time to test the new form of her magical weapon, as the commotion had likely alerted the citizens of the Flower Country.
Abel quickly decided to evacuate the area with Baby-5.
When the people of the Flower Country arrived and discovered Chinjao's body, the entire nation was in shock!
The Eight Treasure Marine set out immediately to find the murderer.
The paper that wasn't destroyed was discovered.
They determined it to be a premeditated assassination!
But despite their search, they couldn't find a trace of the murderer, and could only deduce from the battlefield that the enemy was a powerful individual with terrifying punching power.
The person who could mold Chinjao's 'Iron Head' into such a state and kill him must also know the old grievance between Chinjao and Garp.
It seemed all clues pointed to Garp.
Even if it was not Garp himself who acted, it must have been someone closely related to him!
Teaching his grandchild far away in the East Blue, Garp suddenly sneezed—a big one, unaware that he had inexplicably been saddled with such a hefty false accusation.
