@limitlesssigil:
That proves nothing, in-fact, in the scan you posted, you can see the diamond spreading past his should strap, but in the scan I posted there is no diamond visible, even though the Ice doesn't reach that far.
The ice does freeze a little past his strap but you are right it doesn't seem to be diamond there, though this may be more a coloring issue.
They only color though, they don't redraw, there would be black lines from the Diamond pattern.
Their entire fight happened off-screen, just because his arm was diamond when he hit Aokiji doesn't mean it was when Aokiji froze it, which is further proven by what I stated above.
They didn't have a fight per se Jozu punched him once in 567, then was just standing there, and Aokiji froze him in 568, the same diamond arm which punched him earlier. Nothing happened between. We can't say anything for sure unfortunately I just find it unlikely that he would turn his diamond arm back to normal in the middle of a war when he at least had one arm diamond in pretty much every other instance prior to this during MF.
I mean, I agree we can't say for sure either way, it just seems like there's more evidence to suggest his arm wasn't diamond when frozen.
Also, Whitebeard had a minor interaction with Kizaru and a clash with Akainu between the time of Jozu attacking Aokiji and Aokiji freezing his arm, so it's likely they had a brief scuffle off-screen.
