One Piece: Grand Harem Adventures

As Ben, Kaya, Vivi, Marianne, Conis, Raki, Maya, Honey, Nojiko, Saphir, Mikita, Zala, Alvida, Robin, Kalifa, Hina, Tashigi, Emeraude, and Rubis made their way toward the altar, a heavy tension filled the air.

Ben could feel it, each of them was carrying a fire in their hearts. They all knew exactly who they were about to face, and none of them intended to back down. He thought they were not upset from yesterday's incident.

Vivi clenched her fists."I'll show him… even if he is just a fake," she remarked. 

Nojiko smirked slightly. "Someone's fired up," she teased.

"She should be," Kaya said firmly, her voice unusually sharp. "He hurt Ben and Alvida," she added. 

Vivi nodded, her eyes burning with intensity. "Kaya's right. He hurt them," she said. 

"Princess is like a volcano," Robin commented. Ben thought she was angry. 

There was a murmur of agreement among the group. Robin crossed her arms. "We can't underestimate him. Even if he's not the real Aokiji, his strength is undeniable," she said. She knew him. It sent shivers down her spine. 

"I will paint him red and blast him," Marianne said. 

"I will poison him," Honey added.

"He hurt Ben," Conis murmured. She thought he hurt her love. 

Ben took a deep breath, looking at each of them. He could see it, their anger, their loyalty, their unwavering will to fight by his side. It was humbling, knowing that they cared for him that much.

He exhaled and gave a small smile. "I appreciate all of you. Truly. But right now… let's put our anger aside," he said. 

The girls looked at him in surprise.

Ben's expression hardened. "We have to focus. This isn't just about revenge, it's about completing the objective. We can't let emotions cloud our judgment," he added.

Kalifa adjusted her glasses. "Ben's right. If we lose control, we'll make mistakes. And against an opponent like this, mistakes will cost us," she warned. 

Alvida scoffed but smirked. "My love is right. We need to focus. He is strong," Alvida supported him. 

Mikita grinned. "I will punch him hard," she remarked. 

Ben nodded. "Then let's go. It's time to end this," he stated. 

The group continued down and saw an altar with a shiny orb. 

"We are here," Emeraude remarked. They all stepped onto the altar. 

The orb started to glow. There was a bright light. From the bright light a figure started to form. They saw a tall, slim, yet muscular man and had black, curly hair cut to chin length that fans out at the tips. He wore a white buttoned-up vest with a standing collar over a long-sleeved navy-blue shirt, with matching white trousers and black dress shoes. "Phantasm Aokiji," Phantasm Aokiji remarked.

"He is here," Alvida said. 

A faint hum filled the air. They all watched a translucent barrier rise from the ground, stretching skyward.

"This barrier is strong," Hina remarked. 

"I have never seen something like this," Tashigi added. 

"Okay," Ben was about to say. 

"Liquid Snake," Honey said as a vibrant green liquid oozed from her palm, twisting and contorting until it took the shape of a serpent's head. The liquid snake hissed, its body coiling around her arm before launching toward Phantasm Aokiji at high speed.

The serpent shot forward like a whip, its gleaming emerald form slithering through the air.

Phantasm Aokiji remained unfazed. As the snake closed in, he calmly raised his hand. "Ice Time," he said as his fingertips brushed against the incoming liquid.

In an instant, frost spread across the snake's body, the vibrant green solidifying into a crystalline ice sculpture. Within seconds, it had become an immobile frozen statue. The weight of the ice caused it to crack and shatter, falling to the ground in glittering shards.

Alvida's eyes narrowed as she watched Phantasm Aokiji. "That move..." she muttered. 

"Shave," Alvida added as she vanished in a blur and she closed the distance in an instant.

"Kanabo Smash," she roared as she raised Seraphina high above her head before swinging it down with bone-crushing force. The air whistled as the massive weapon descended like a hammer.

Phantasm Aokiji's eyes flashed red. "Observation Haki," he murmured, his body shifting just in time. He ducked low, narrowly avoiding the attack as the ground where he once stood exploded into debris from the sheer impact.

Without missing a beat, he twisted his body and swung his leg in a sweeping arc.

Alvida reacted instantly. She brought up Seraphina to block the incoming kick, but the force sent her flying backward. She skidded across the battlefield, digging her heels into the ground to stop herself.

"Tch… He's fast," she muttered, gripping her weapon tighter.

"Ice Mass: Two Thorn Pikes," Phantasm Aokiji called out, summoning several jagged spears of ice in midair. With a flick of his wrist, they shot forward like missiles.

"Scatter," Ben shouted.

The girls leaped in different directions, barely dodging the frozen projectiles as they embedded themselves into the ground, sending up shards of ice.

"Close," Marianne remarked.

"Angel Beam," Kaya cried out, extending her hand. A golden sphere of energy crackled at her palm before she fired a radiant blast straight at Phantasm Aokiji.

"Ice Pick," Phantasm Aokiji said. In an instant, he conjured a small but ice dart and flicked it toward Kaya. The two attacks passed each other in midair.

The yellow beam struck Aokiji's arm, causing a layer of ice to crack and shatter. But at the same time, the ice dart pierced Kaya's shoulder.

"Agh!" she gasped, clutching the wound as she staggered back.

"Kaya," Ben and Vivi shouted.

From above, Nojiko seized the opening. "Moonwalk," Nojiko said as shekicked off the air, propelling herself higher. The wind crackled around her.

"Storm Hammer," she declared as dark clouds swirled overhead, condensing into a massive, hammer-shaped storm. She brought it down, aiming to crush Phantasm Aokiji

"Ice Block: Sledgehammer," Phantasm Aokiji responded as a gigantic hammer of ice materialized in the air beside him. He grasped it effortlessly and swung upward, meeting Nojiko's attack head-on.

The two forces collided in an explosive clash. Phantasm Aokiji's frozen hammer pushed through. Nojiko's form was thrown back, her body spiraling through the air before she crashed into the ground, groaning in pain.

"Hex's Fire," Maya said as she dragged her sword across the ground. Sparks ignited as the friction gave birth to black flames, coiling around her blade. With a powerful swing, she sent a roaring, flame-coated projectile hurtling toward Phantasm Aokiji.

"Inferno Strike," Conis followed up, channeling intense heat into the tip of her javelin. The weapon glowed molten red before she thrust it forward, unleashing a searing blast of fire that surged through the air.

Marianne raisined her weapon. "Yellow Dice," she called, firing a dice-shaped bullet. The three attacks streaked through the air, merging mid-air into a swirling inferno of destruction.

The combined force smashed into Phantasm Aokiji's ice sledgehammer, shattering it into frozen shards that scattered in all directions.

"Good job girls," Ben remarked. 

"Ice Mass: Two Thorn Pikes," Phantasm Aokiji said as several jagged spears of ice materialized around him. With a flick of his wrist, he launched them towards the girls at blinding speed.

The first spear hurtled toward Maya. She raised her sword defensively, but the sheer force of the impact overwhelmed her. The ice spear pushed her backward, slamming her into the ground.

Conis braced herself, gripping her javelin tightly as she thrusted her weapon to meet the oncoming attack. But the ice spear's raw power sent shockwaves through her arms. The force blasted her backward, and she crashed against the battlefield, rolling to a stop.

A third ice spear streaked toward Marianne. Her eyes widened. There was no time to react.

Ben appeared in an instant, sweeping her off her feet and out of harm's way.

"Got you," Ben said coolly, landing smoothly with her in his arms.

Marianne exhaled in relief, clutching onto him. "Thank you, Ben," she responded. 

Raki's body began to shift. Her form expanded, muscles tensing as her body grew covered in powerful scales. She had entered her beast form. "Petrifying Gaze," Raki said as her eyes glowed with an eerie light as she locked onto Phantasm Aokiji.

Phantasm Aokiji's own eyes flashed red in response. He looked away. "Ice Monument," Phantasm Aokiji said as he slammed his hand onto the ground. A massive spike of ice erupted beneath Raki, striking her with brutal force. She was launched into the air, spinning uncontrollably before crashing down hard. She started to bleed. Kaya quickly came to her with a Health Drink.

Mikita dashed forward. "Storm Leg," she said as she swung her foot in a lightning-fast kick. A compressed blade of wind shot toward Aokiji, cutting through the air.

Phantasm Aokiji reached out. "Ice Time," he said. The moment his fingers brushed against the incoming wind attack, it froze solid in midair, encased in a thick layer of frost.

"Ice Barrage," he added, extending his palm toward the frozen attack. The ice cracked and shattered into countless razor-sharp spikes that scattered across. 

Maya, Alvida, and Conis, still recovering from the earlier assault, quickly leaped aside. The deadly shards embedded themselves into the ground where they once stood, sending shards of ice and dust into the air.

"Ice Mass: Frost Surge," Phantasm Aokiji as a burst of frigid energy exploded from his body, an icy shockwave rippling outward. The cold struck like a hammer, forcing Saphir, Emeraude, and Rubis back. They all went flying back. They spat blood and hit the ground. 

Ben hot forward, his body cutting through the air like a meteor toward Phantasm Aokiji.

"Demon's Inferno Fist," he said as channeling his energy into his hand. A surge of black flames erupted around his fist, swirling like a living inferno. The intense heat distorted the air around it, the sheer

"Profit Margin," Kalifa said as she snapped Lovethorn in a wide, sweeping arc. The whip cracked through the air like a lightning bolt, slicing toward Phantasm Aokiji.

Without hesitation, Aokiji raised his hand.

"Ice Saber," Phantasm Aokiji said. A jagged sword of glistening ice materialized in his grip, its edges razor-sharp and gleaming with cold energy. He swung it effortlessly, intercepting Kalifa's attack. The whip coiled around the frozen blade, but Aokiji yanked it free with a flick of his wrist, sending a chill up Kalifa's arm.

Saphir, Emeraude, and Rubis holding their spears rushed in from different angles. 

"Lets get him," Saphir said as she lunged forward with her spear, aiming for Aokiji's midsection.

"Careful," Emeraude said as she thrusts spear toward his shoulder.

Rubis came from behind, spear sweeping low in an attempt to knock him off balance. Aokiji saw it coming.

"Ice Step," Phantasm Aokiji said as he skated backward on a thin layer of ice that formed beneath his feet, dodging all three attacks in one smooth motion. power radiating outward in waves.

"Ice Fist," Phantasm Aokiji said as he coated his fist in layers of thick, jagged ice, forming a crystalline gauntlet that crackled with freezing energy. He swung forward, meeting Ben's blazing strike head-on.

The moment their fists collided, an explosive shockwave erupted between them. Fire and ice clashed violently, sending steam and shards of ice shooting in every direction. 

Ben's flames melted through the ice, droplets of water sizzling as they evaporated into the air. But Aokiji's sheer strength still sent him skidding backward, his feet carving trenches into the ground.

Aokiji remained standing, but his right hand trembled slightly. The burned remnants of ice crumbled away, revealing scorched flesh beneath. He glanced at his charred knuckles.

"He is getting weaker already," Alvida remarked. 

"There might be finite energy," Robin said. 

"You think there is something powering them?" Honey asked. 

"I don't know," Robin responded.
