Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Frost froze the earth, sticky balls bombarded the sky, and the battle between the Navy's monster vice admiral and the Charlotte family's highest masterpiece was in full swing. They were both trying to buy time, so the two did not use their full strength. But even if they were just competing in a stalemate, the scene was still spectacular.

"Cuiyu Nuomi!"

The ground beneath his feet was quickly assimilated, and the sticky and elastic rice cake strips wrapped in armed color soared into the sky, then turned their spears and stabbed towards Kuzan. Knowing the difficulty of the opponent's natural ability, Katakuri used a powerful move of fruit awakening as soon as he attacked.

"Ice Block Frost Storm!"

Large patches of white frost rose from his hands. Kuzan's eyes were calm, and he began to spin rapidly with himself as the center. The heavy cold wave spread rapidly with the surge of air currents, and in the blink of an eye, a huge storm tens of meters high was formed.

The piercing ice spears became sharper as the storm swirled, and soon collided violently with the flying rice cake strips.

The cold wind was howling, and the storm formed by the cold wave was slowly approaching the opponent against Katakuri's attack. As the distance shortened, the ground under Katakuri's feet was gradually covered with a layer of frost, which tended to spread towards the opponent's body.

"Click——"

The ground that had turned into a glutinous ball suddenly rose up and down, shattering all the frost that spread around. Katakuri's eyes flashed red for a moment, and then as if he had received some warning, he suddenly dodged and retreated -

“Bang—Crack—”

The bird made of ice crashed into the ground, freezing the area where Katakuri had just stood. Even the hard ground began to crack under the influence of the extreme cold.

The high temperature of magma can bring instant death, but the bone-chilling cold of ice can bring long-lasting and extreme pain like a maggot attached to the bones. Although not as violent as magma, Kuzan's freezing has another kind of horror hidden in it. It is the torture of falling into death step by step.

"The user of the Ice Fruit, Vice Admiral Kuzan... is as powerful as the rumors say."

After dodging Kuzan's attack with the ability of Observation Haki to foresee the future, Katakuri thought so, and at the same time felt a sense of joy and excitement of meeting a worthy worthy opponent.

Even though he was the best in the family besides his mother, his strength was still far from enough compared to the strong men in the entire ocean, including the admirals, Kaido, Whitebeard, and that Yakumo Haku...

Only by breaking through your limits in battle after battle can you become stronger and gain the power to protect your family!

"Mirror sticky ball!"

"Wow—"

A tsunami-like wave of glutinous rice balls rose into the sky, and as if it had life, it rushed towards the approaching frost storm in front of it. The frost was condensing and the glutinous rice balls were shaking. The two forces were deadlocked for a moment, and finally, as if reaching a critical point, they shattered into pieces with a "bang", covering the ground with a layer of ice crystals and glutinous rice ball residues.

At the same time, Katakuri's powerful observation Haki instantly locked onto Kuzan's figure emerging from the storm, and casually created several huge donuts. The deep arms strengthened by the horn-shaped sticky rice balls flashed a cold light under the scattering of ice crystals!

"Unparalleled Monster Power Rice Cake!"

"boom--"

The powerful strange force cuts through the air, breaking the sound barrier and causing a piercing explosion. The deep armament color covers it, making it indestructible. Katakuri, who is at the top level in fruit development and domineering cultivation, only then can he show his truly terrifying side!

"Ice Age: Freeze Ray!"

The cold air that was enough to freeze the entire island was forcibly compressed into pale rays as thick as fingers. Kuzan's expression was extremely serious, but his hands moved at no slowness at all. His natural abilities that were like a natural disaster were brought to the extreme by his opponent!

"Boom-"

There was another loud roar, and the biting cold spread rapidly with a powerful air wave, gradually covering the entire island with a light layer of frost. In this icy white mist, two tall figures suddenly rushed out, ice balls and jackdaws flew everywhere, and the flexible and tough sticky balls rushed around.

With the idea of ​​completely defeating the other side, both sides gradually exerted their suppressive power, exerting their full fruit abilities and domineering power, because they all thought of the same thing - that is, what could be better than defeating the other side to buy enough time?

"Bulu Bulu~"

While the top fighters of both sides were fighting fiercely, Perospero, who was commanding the troops to fight against the navy, suddenly received a message from Den Den Mushi.

"Brother Perospero, we have successfully captured the second-in-command of the base and are now tracking Vegapunk. I wonder what the situation is like over there?

If we are unable to do so, we can return immediately..."

Bree's concerned voice came from the other side.

Hearing this, Perospero first glanced at the current battle, then shook his head and said,

"If possible, first find out the defense forces around Vegapunk. Brulee, if they are too tight, then withdraw immediately. If there is a chance to succeed..."

At this point, Perospero turned to look at the "no man's land" in the distance, and said with a helpless and serious tone,

"Then you can act as you wish. In my opinion, the final decision on whether to evacuate or not may depend on a different situation..."

----------

"Gaga——"

Den Den Mushi fell into hibernation again, and after a long period of searching in the mirror world, Brulee finally looked at the mirror in her hand and fell into deep thought.

"A tight defense force... I wonder if those things count?"

Following the other party's doubts, I saw that the mirror in Bree's hand was showing another scene -

Ferocious beasts that are far larger than normal size run and roar in groups, their mechanically modified bodies and original wildness magically coexisting, and their biological bloodline tracing makes them more aggressive and have a fearless desire to fight.

Compared with the semi-mechanized transformation of organisms carried out in his hometown, with the huge financial and resource support from the government, Vegapunk has obviously pushed this research to a deeper level and created a large number of modified organisms to protect the safety of the island.

There was more to Brulee's surprise. After all, no matter how many or how big they were, they were just wild beasts. What really shocked her was the huge red dragon flying in the sky.

Large and imposing wings, a streamlined, strong and beautiful body, ferocious horns, and a huge mouth that spits out sparks from time to time...

What on earth did that guy Vegapunk do to be able to recreate such a fantastic and spectacular creature? !

At the same time, Yakumo Shiro, who had just finished collecting the research materials and some obvious results in the laboratory, sensed the rising aura in the air through his observation Haki as he stepped into a steel door filled with cold air.

Although not very strong, it is special enough, special enough to be comparable to those weak and tenacious beings inside this door.

"Ancient giants, and Western-style fire dragons...

How much is buried deep in history?"

As the frost door slowly closed, Yakumo Shiro slowly disappeared into the deep darkness behind the door, leaving only the sound of light footsteps and the drifting cold air, which gradually went farther and farther until they dissipated...
