Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

Within an hour, Wayne's consciousness regained control over his body.

He slowly climbed up with a wry smile.

"Mr. Kuzan, that's ridiculous."

"Well, it seems you still have a sense of crisis, you woke up so soon."

Kuzan, who was looking at the lake in trance, turned around unexpectedly:

"I didn't realize that you still like gambling?

"Are you so relieved that I won't just take you back while you are defenseless?"

"Gambling won't do that."

Wayne knocked on his still dizzy head and stretched his body:

"It's just that I know Mr. Kuzan's magnanimity very well."

"There's no point in flattering me now, you guy."

A complicated look finally appeared on Kuzan's face.

"Ven, originally I thought you would go all the way up until you are tied with the three of us——

"You have this potential. Teacher Zefa and Mr. Garp both value you."

He recalled the behavior of the two men when they received the news from Wayne, and scratched his hair in distress:

"I really shouldn't have approved your leave that day. Mr. Warring States smashed his desk after he found out."

"Does Mr. Karp have a good appetite?"

Wayne blinked and spread his hands with a smile:

"Then, let me guess, he was kicked out of the office by the Warring States Marshal?"

"...That's basically what happened."

"What did Teacher Zefa say?"

"He didn't say anything, he just locked himself in the room... I went to look when I came out, but he hadn't come out yet."

Kuzan's words made Wayne frown.

"Then, Mr. Kuzan, when you go back, help me bring a message to Teacher Zefa——

"'Sorry, but I'm not drunk'."

"..."

Kuzan was silent.

It is basically certain that Wayne was indeed drunk at the time.

But now, he is awake.

After a while, Kuzan slowly stood up.

"I will bring it truthfully," he said softly, "I'm sorry, although I also hate the Celestial Dragons, I am still the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."

"As the last person you saw, Smorga boy, I have punished him to the East Sea Rog Town——

"Really, that guy rushed directly to Mr. Sengoku to make trouble. It will be difficult for me to handle this time."

"Mr. Kuzan, you don't have to say sorry. There's also the matter about the smoker, thank you very much."

Said to be punishment, Kuzan was actually protecting Smoker.

Otherwise, the World Government will get nervous, and Smoker's outspoken temper will definitely not be tolerated.

"Speaking of which, I still owe him fifty thousand beli."

Wayne fumbled around for a while and took out a few banknotes:

"Mr. Kuzan, please help me return it to him."

"Well, it's troublesome, but okay."

Kuzan took the banknotes and carefully put them into his vest pocket.

"Although I seem a bit verbose to a man like you."

He turned his head to look in the west direction and was stunned for a long time before turning his head again:

"But I really don't want to see the same thing happen again."

Looking at his palms, Kuzan's thoughts seemed to drift back to the West Sea more than ten years ago.

"If you give up resistance, with Mr. Sengoku's acquiescence, I can at least spare your life."

"In other words, the order is 'kill'... As expected."

Wayne took a deep breath and wrapped his fists with dark domineering energy.

"But since I joined the Navy, I have never given up resistance under any circumstances."

"……Understood."

Under Kuzan's feet, the crystal ice slowly spread:

"Have you... found your justice?"

Wayne was stunned for a moment, then showed a hearty smile:

"Of course - my justice is the justice of freedom!"

Kuzan's lazy face finally showed a smile.

"As you know, your promotion permission has actually been approved a long time ago. It takes effect today. It's just because the World Conference didn't have time to announce it."

He slowly opened his arms, and above his shoulders, two frozen spears gradually took shape.

"Until there are any results on your disposition, you are still a member of the Navy, so..."

"Lieutenant General Mark Wynn, I'm going!"

"boom!"

The ice shards flew away, and Kuzan's body suddenly exploded into broken ice that filled the sky.

"Wind Shenglong!"

Among the flying crystal ice cubes, Wayne's fist suddenly appeared!

The domineering energy brought forth a storm-like emerald light, and its terrifying power forced the general to avoid the edge temporarily.

"Ah la la, is this your true strength..."

In the frozen lake next to him, Kuzan's figure slowly rose with the biting freezing air.

"You are usually very low-key. Not many lieutenant generals can use this level of domineering power."

"Natural ability combined with seeing, hearing and color is really useful."

Wayne grinned and disappeared instantly.

The next moment, the entire island became an extremely cold world!

"Ice Age!"

"Huh... So, it's difficult to carry out such a large-scale attack with physical skills."

Wayne's feet have been hardened by the weapon color, and a soft emerald wind flashed under his feet.

"Wind·Mizong!"

"Shhhhh!"

As if he were walking on flat ground in the air, Wayne dodged three suddenly appeared Senhan spears at a speed that was even comparable to using "Shaving" on the ground.

"Oh? Use your Haki to combine Moon Step and Shave."

Before Kuzan finished speaking, he suddenly appeared from the lake opposite Wayne.

"It's amazing that the armed color entanglement has been developed to this extent, but..."

"Ice Cubes, Pheasant Mouth!"

The ice bird as huge as a mountain rushed out, and even the air seemed to be frozen wherever it passed!

"Bah-"

Wayne was not panicked. The domineering power of his right leg suddenly changed from the emerald wind form to the emerald thunder form!

"So, it's difficult to hit such a big target——"

His body suddenly turned sideways in the air, and kicked out his right leg fiercely with a dense sound of thunder and lightning——

"Thunder Disillusionment!"

"Rumble..."

The huge ice bird held on for a moment under the blow of Venn's advanced weapon color, and then exploded!

But then, Wayne's expression changed.

"Jade is immortal!"

Behind him, an armed domineering figure with a faint emerald light appeared immediately.

The next moment, a sharp blade entwined with cold air and powerful armament slashed Wayne from the air!

"I am also ashamed of myself in terms of application of domineering, but the strength still needs to be improved."

"Ice Saber!"

"boom!"

Wayne's body fell straight into the ground, and he couldn't even resist!

"Well, you know Wayne, you have no chance."

Kuzan's figure appeared next to the big hole created by Wayne, who was struggling to get up.

"It's time to end."

"This is...general..."

Wayne coughed several times and spit out a mouthful of blood.

With his current strength, he can compete with the generals who are paddling in the water.

But as long as the general's attack is sustained once, it is basically over.

No matter how much physical strength he has now, the strength of the armed color Haki is far from enough.

The domineering energy was shattered by Kuzan's blow, and a little bit of freezing energy was rubbed against him, which almost made his body freeze!

Deadly game!

"Well, goodbye, Lieutenant General Wayne."

Although Kuzan is usually friendly and polite, he is even a little off-kilter.

But once he makes up his mind, he will never stop.

"Frozen Time Capsule!"

"Crack clap..."

Wayne barely stood up, covered in ice.

Until it turned into a crystal clear ice sculpture!

"..."

Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air and was stunned for a long time.

"Ah la la, I unconsciously used the same trick..."

He looked back to the west again, and it took him a while to look back.

"'Free justice'...it's not bad either."

"It's just that it's too early..."

"Crack~Crack~Crack~"

The sound of bicycles gradually faded away, and the entire island fell into a frozen hellish silence.
