@SuryaTej Well, going with that reason, it means Aokiji's ice is special and doesn't weaken DF users, but I don't think that is the case. My bet is that ice doesn't have the same effect on DF users as we saw Aokiji's fighting with other DF users and there were no signs of weakening or hindering their abilities.

<p>Devil Fruit users' strength is sucked away when they are in sea or under kairosaki chains. In the Marineford arc, Luffy was standing on the Giant Ice land formed when Aokiji froze the sea. My question is: Ice is basically frozen water, shouldn't that also sap away Devil Fruit users' strength?</p>

How come Luffy is not weakened during his fight in Marineford?
