Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

Although he is a Marine Admiral and a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user, he is not afraid.

No matter what kind of water it is, even the unfathomable ocean, it will freeze.

However, faced with the young man's swordsmanship, he put away his initial contempt.

With so many people watching, we don't want to accidentally capsize in the gutter.

Will Admiral Aokiji still be able to hold his head high then?

Seeing this peculiar, smooth, and fluid technique, unlike the high-speed movement of the Navy's Six Styles Shave, which changed like flowing water, Kuzan's face showed a look of surprise. A hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes, but then he exhaled a breath of cold air, suddenly gripped an ice blade in his hand, and swiftly slashed to the left, directly blocking Shache's attack.

While the ice blade clashed with the Sandai Kitetsu...

"Freeze moment!"

He then quickly released the cold air, instantly freezing Xia Che who appeared beside him.

"Are you still going to insist on protecting this sinner?" Kuzan stood in front of Shacher, his voice cold and ruthless. "Dand Shacher, although your strength has exceeded my expectations, it's not enough to stop me!"

His deep eyes held a chilling glint as he stared directly at Xia Che.

"You can still turn back now. Give up! Dand Shacher, you are no match for me."

He exuded a terrifying aura, domineering and ruthless, as if he were ready to destroy everything in his way.

This is perhaps the true face of a naval admiral!

"If you let go, I can promise you that the Navy Headquarters will pardon all your illegal acts and even cover up everything here for you."

however.

The words fell.

Shache remained unmoved by Kuzan's temptations.

This guy is an actor!

Maybe he's just acting!

Although it's unclear why this guy hasn't stopped even after things have come to this point.

But Xia Che didn't dare to be careless and directly ignored the temptation Kuzan mentioned.

Over the years, he has been studying and researching the art of water breathing, and he has long since become able to achieve a state of mind free of distractions, calm and composed, and ignoring the temptations and harassment of others.

He shuddered, using his domineering aura to shatter the ice that had frozen his feet and lower body. His face remained expressionless; instead, he sighed helplessly, "Can't it really end like this?"

Although freezing can affect the normal functions of the human body and is very harmful to ordinary people, he was prepared in advance to deal with the appearance of Kuzan.

Especially with the breathing techniques of water and the special training methods of the ocean, their bodies are already strong enough to resist the freezing.

Moreover, Kuzan clearly hasn't used his true power yet!

just.

It seems like we have no choice but to put on a good show and prove ourselves.

Xia Che's face also showed a serious expression. He leaned forward slightly, gripped his long sword in his right hand, and once again assumed the starting stance of the Water Breathing sword technique. He said expressionlessly, "To be honest, it's really a bit cold! And it's almost dawn. I still hope to finish as soon as possible."

He had already mentally prepared for Kuzan's arrival when he invited Robin aboard.

He also knew that defeating a Marine Admiral with just Water Breathing wouldn't be easy, but don't forget... this is a world that belongs to the sea, and possesses the power of the sea.

As a naval genius captain, he knows more than just the art of breathing water.

At this moment.

Everyone looked up, their faces tense as they watched the battle between the two...

The fierce and domineering ice froze everything, as if it wanted to plunge everything into an ice age. But there was a small, weak river that was not frozen by the biting cold and continued to flow towards that terrible icy world.

It flows ceaselessly, yet stubbornly resists the cold, refusing to be frozen!

But at this moment...

Everyone knew that Xia Che seemed to be at a disadvantage when facing the domineering and fierce ice, and the naval admiral who was like a monster and could change the sea and the air currents.

Robin, her fists clenched tightly, looked up at the figure who had stopped, gripping the hilt of the sword. Her eyes remained fixed on him, never letting up.

His mind involuntarily drifted back to the time when the two of them first met.

A demobilized navy officer, gazing blankly at the sea, invites her, the devil's son wanted by the World Government, to travel to the East Blue together.

At that time, she genuinely believed that this guy had ulterior motives.

But so many years have passed without us realizing it, and this guy has kept his promise, providing her with shelter and a peaceful life, until today...

When she was in danger, just like the giant she encountered in Ohara, he stood before her, not abandoning his promise to invite her back then, and still protecting her in the face of a terrible enemy.

But...did she do something wrong again?

"Robin~"

Noticing the regret and self-blame on Robin's face, Nami tightly grasped Robin's trembling and cold hand. Although her own body was also trembling and her eyes were filled with worry, she still said in a firm tone, "Don't give up, that guy will definitely not lose."

At this moment, Nami also realized that the Arlong Pirates, whom she had once feared, were nothing more than worms in front of this monster.

That guy is terrifying!

How could there be such a monster on the high seas?

But she still believed in the figure who had stood before her during her most desperate time.

“Since he hasn’t given up, let’s trust him! If all else fails, we can go to sea and escape as pirates! I’ve already had a ship ready. If things really get bad, we’ll take that guy and run away immediately, or…” His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, “Let’s go to the ship and wait!”

however.

I believe in him!

Faced with Nami's comfort, Robin's face, which had been filled with regret, self-blame, and fear, once again showed a smile—an elegant, intellectual, and composed smile.

She nodded heavily.

"I have entrusted myself to him. No matter what the outcome, I will be here waiting for the BOSS."

"???"X2

Nami and Kuina were taken aback, looking at Robin with strange expressions.

That sounds a bit strange.

This is too fast!

But before Nami could say anything...

Sudden.

Xia Che, who was originally standing still...

at this moment.

Moved!

And it was accompanied by a sentence.

"Are you really not going to Red Romance? I already said it was on me!"

"..."

Kuzan also saw Shache move, but before he could figure out what the kid was up to, he suddenly heard this sentence, and his face darkened again. Just as he was about to teach the kid a lesson,

In the blink of an eye.

A voice came from the other side.

That ethereal, gentle, yet calm voice came through.

"Water Breathing - Eleventh Form - Ocean, Boundless!"

As the sound falls.

Kuzan's expression immediately changed.

Even though the entire ocean was frozen over, at that moment he seemed to feel... the sound of the ocean surging.

Chapter 32 The End

"What...what is this? Is this the colonel's true strength?"

Sensing something was amiss, the assembled members of the 16th Marine Division looked up in disbelief at everything in the distance.

The sea and the sky had fallen into darkness. Except for the areas illuminated by lights, everything was pitch black. They couldn't even clearly see Colonel Xia Che's battle with others, but they could almost sense it...

The ocean!

It wasn't the usual sea... no, it was the sea itself. Even though they were standing some distance away, they still felt as if they were actually on the sea, experiencing its surging power and vastness...

"This is terrifying! No wonder he's Colonel Xia Che! Are all the guys from headquarters monsters? But who is he? How could he fight such a terrifying colonel for so long?"

It can change the climate and alter air currents!

They had originally planned to help, as a colonel among the marines, if that person was the colonel's enemy, then that person was also their enemy.

only.

Before leaving, the colonel forbade them from getting involved, told them to stay put, and also instructed them to keep an eye on the pirates they had recently recruited, lest these guys take advantage of the chaos to escape.

All they need to do is guard the 16th Naval Division and the Konom Islands.

Udo, who had also received orders from Shacher, was also there. Although he was curious about who this sudden enemy was, he still strictly followed the colonel's orders, keeping the navy in line and keeping an eye on the pirates. He even dealt with any pirates who caused trouble on the spot!

Udo glanced at the few people he was focusing on beside him, especially the former captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Hyakujiro, who should have been dead. He remembered Colonel Shacher's orders.

Although this guy had agreed to stay and teach the Silent Step technique he created, Udo knew in his heart that this cunning fellow wouldn't be so honest. Once he found a chance to gain his freedom, these pirates wouldn't give it up.

Therefore, we must keep a close eye on it.

however.

But he didn't know...

What the hell are you running for?!

Baiji Kuro also watched the scene with a dark expression. Compared to those marines, as a great pirate from the East Blue worth 1600 million Berries and wearing glasses, he could see it much more clearly and understood what kind of monster it was.

How could there be such a monster in the East China Sea?
