nIce and Fire

nBOOM!!!

nFrom Punk Hassad’s island, a sudden stream of alternating hot and cold air rushed towards the surrounding warships.

n“It’s so cold!”

nHalf of the Marines on the Battleship hugged their bodies and shivered.

n“It’s so hot!”

nAs for the other half, they quickly broke out in sweat, as if they had evaporated. The sweat turned into gas, and the scorching aura distorted the space.

n“Hey, is it that exaggerated…”

nKuro, on the other hand, looked at the island of Punk Hassad in a daze. He could not even hold the cigar in his mouth.

nThe island had completely changed.

nCountless frosts condensed on half of the surface area. The frost gradually thickened, forming a thick layer of ice that quickly spread to the sea, and the sea near the island quickly condensed into ice.

nAs for the other half, it was like a landslide, turning into a red purgatory. The hot breath made the sea near the island boil.

nThe hot and cold collided, and the airflow rose. The clear weather was immediately covered by dark clouds, and thunder flashed in the sky.

nThe climate, terrain, and air all changed.

nAnd this was just a simple collision!

nIn the center of the island, magma gushed out of Akainu’s body and collided with Aokiji, who had frozen.

n“Kouzan!”

nAkainu roared and his hands surged with lava as he attacked.

n“Sakaski!”

nAokiji was hit by a punch and turned into scattered ice, which quickly condensed again. His figure flashed to Akainu’s side, and an icicle extended from his palm and stabbed over.

nWhen the icicle touched Akainu, it instantly condensed into ice on Akainu’s body. The lava was frozen and turned into black stone.

nChi!

nBut soon, the ice melted and Akainu’s arm emitted a mass of white steam, which gushed out of the magma again and hit Aokiji.

nOne is ice, and the other is lava. In the confrontation of nature, it seems difficult to determine the winner.

n“Is there a need to be so intense in the beginning?”

nThis scene made Kuro secretly speechless.

n“After all, it’s a battle of ideas, it’s so scary… this intensity,” Kizaru said in surprise.

nKuro exhaled the smoke and looked at the island.

nAkainu, Sakasugi, is 54 years old and is now in his prime.

nAokiji, Kuzan, 48 years old. Although he is a little younger, he is still a ‘monster’.

nEveryone has received Marine training in the system and is also taught by Zephyr. In addition to Marine’s other training, their abilities, Haki, and body techniques are all similar. Even their swordsmanship is not much different.

nSakasugi knew swordsmanship, and so did Kuzan. This was something that Kuro could detect.

nIncluding his old man, his swordsmanship is also very strong.

nIf this continues, according to this serious situation, it will not be easy to determine the winner.

nBang!

nBang! Bang!

nAfter a series of hand-to-hand combat on the island, the distance was widened.

n“Great Spitfire!”

nAkainu’s arm spewed out lava, which turned into a huge fist shape and punched towards Aokiji.

nThis move can even evaporate an iceberg dozens of times larger than this fist in an instant.

nAokiji took a step back and stretched out his hand at a 90-degree angle, aiming at Akainu with his hand in the shape of a knife. He said coldly: “Raging Mouth!”

nThe cold air formed a huge ice bird that rushed towards the Lava Fist with an unparalleled impact.

nWherever the ice bird passed, the ground that was originally ice froze into a layer of ice again and collided with the Lava Fist.

nBOOM!!!

nThe red and white collided, and the hot and cold airflow rose again. A few lightning bolts suddenly fell and fell within the range of the two.

nHowever, thunder and lightning cannot hurt both sides of nature.

nAkainu and Aokiji’s figures were drowned by the sudden lightning that was as thick as a bucket. In just a moment, in the Land of Lava behind Akainu, his body slowly condensed from the ground, while the other shattered into ice crystals and condensed on the ice.

nOne is just a natural phenomenon, and these two represent the anthropomorphism of natural phenomena. Of course, they can’t be compared.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nThe shattered ice of the Ice Bird and the scattered Lava Fist turned into volcanic bombs and large ice pieces that scattered towards the sea.

n“Shit! These things are coming!”

n“Quick, run!”

nThe Marines shouted in panic.

nWhat a joke. If these things land, the ship will sink.

n“What are you arguing about!”

nOnigumo shouted, “The weak should retreat. You can’t even hold this small scene. You are not qualified to watch!”

n“Oh~ It is indeed very scary, Kuro.” Kizaru looked up at the sky and called out.

n“Hey, old man, why don’t you make a move?” Kuro scratched his head and said.

n“This old man can’t make a move, it will cause a misunderstanding. Although others can also do it, it is more convenient for you. You can use the ability to block attacks.” Kizaru said with a smile.

n“This situation, don’t hide it. Kuro, you can’t just let an old lady like me go up and stop it.” Crane said lightly.

n“I’m just here to watch the battle…”

nKuro sighed slightly and took out Autumn Water. He wiped his two fingers on the blade and waved it with a golden light.

n“Black Tortoise.”

nA huge Black Tortoise phantom covered the front of these ships.

nBang! Bang! Bang!

nThe ice and volcanic bomb smashed over and hit the shell of the Black Tortoise. Like a barrier, it bounced off the shell or was shattered by the impact.

nThis scene made Marine Admiral Colonel, who had never seen Kuro use the Four Divine Mysteries, widen his eyes.

n“That’s the swordsmanship that Polusalino has always praised. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen it.” Sengoku said in surprise.

nSpeaking of which, during the War of the Best, he had never seen Kuro use such a magical sword technique.

nOther than the slash of his red hair and the mass of seawater that drowned Blackbeard’s forces, he had never seen anything else.

n“So, why are you still wasting time in North Blue? It’s completely not in line with you, Brigadier Kuro.” Onigumo looked at Kuro.

nHe still admired Kuro, but he was a little disappointed. It seemed that he had been with Kizaru for too long and had some bad habits.

nOtherwise, he would be more than a Brigadier General now.

nWhy don’t you try fighting Ledfield!

nKuro glanced at Onigumo speechlessly. He could not refute this.

n“So powerful, can sword arts simulate espers?”

nMomousagi’s hand subconsciously held the handle of the knife.

n“Oh, this is really spectacular.” Tokikake looked up in surprise. “It is really reliable.”

nThe other Vice-Admiral faintly revealed a smile.
