One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

This means she won't have the chance to fully compete with a powerful opponent again.

Although she was extremely unwilling, Yamato knew that the current situation did not allow her to act recklessly.

With her cheeks puffed out, she angrily picked up her spiked club, turned around, and strode away, the ice beneath her feet crunching loudly.

She'd made up her mind; she was going to beat the others up to vent her anger!

As a result, the naval soldiers and officers along the way became Yamato's punching bags.

Anyone who dared to obstruct them was met with a bone-chilling blast of cold air, turning them into ice sculptures before being struck by Yamato's staff.

Watching Yamato leave, Kane finally focused his attention on Kuzan with complete peace of mind. He cracked his neck, making a crisp sound: "Once I defeat you here, this war should come to an end."

Yamato's strength is barely enough to deal with a Navy Admiral, but what about a Navy Vice Admiral?

It wasn't exactly fraught with difficulties, but it was certainly a breeze.

The difference in combat strength between a general and a lieutenant general is that extreme.

Kuzan was not discouraged; instead, he sneered, "I'll return the favor!"

If he can defeat the man in front of him, the navy will have a chance to catch their breath and retreat at their leisure.

Yes, at this point, he no longer hoped to wipe out Kane and his group.

How to save as many naval colleagues as possible and bring this war to a relatively dignified end became Kuzan's only thought at this moment.

Unless... he can hold out until naval reinforcements arrive.

But will Kane really give him that chance?

Just as Kuzan was racking his brains for a solution, Kane on the other side underwent another astonishing change!

A dazzling green light burst forth from his body, causing his already tall and imposing dragon-man form to grow even taller. Even more striking were the two long, flowing ribbons, seemingly formed from solidified golden light, that extended from the horns behind his head, swaying gently in the wind behind him as if they were alive.

This is?

Kuzan was shocked, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Although this form is completely different from all the awakened forms of the Zoan type that he knows, this aura must be an awakening, there is no mistake!

"There's no other way, time is of the essence, we have to use this power to fight."

Kane grinned: "Kuzan, you're the first person to personally experience my power."

Unlike Kuzan, Sakazuki can be weakened by using seawater.

But Kuzan? I'm afraid the seawater would freeze the moment he touched it.

The Ice-Ice Fruit is one of the very few troublesome abilities that can, to some extent, ignore the weaknesses of seawater.

"Oh dear... Should I feel honored?"

Kuzan's smile carried a hint of bitterness.

The already formidable enemy has evolved, and now the outcome is uncertain. Who can withstand this?

Kane didn't waste any more words. He vanished from his spot in a flash. So fast was he that the ice where he had stood only belatedly shattered after he was gone!

"Dragon Claw!"

A fist wreathed in black and red Haki lightning rapidly enlarged in Kuzan's pupils.

"So fast!"

That was the only thought in his mind; he didn't even have time to form a second idea.

Bang!

Black Fist pierced through Kuzan's head without any resistance, and a violent fist wind exploded, instantly blasting Kuzan's entire body into a sky full of ice shards!

The relentless force of the punch continued unabated, carving a terrifying ravine a hundred meters long and unfathomably deep into the vast ice field behind him!

"Got you?"

A red glint flashed in Kane's eyes, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Without pausing, his figure blurred again as he threw a second punch at a seemingly empty ice surface to his side and rear!

There, Kuzan's elemental form had just condensed into half of his body.

"They found out so quickly?"

Kuzan's pupils contracted as he watched Kane attack again.

Caught in the precise moment of his elemental recombination, he had no time to make any effective dodge and could only hastily cover his arms with Armament Haki and cross them in front of him to block.

The heavy punch, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, slammed solidly into his arms!

boom!boom!boom! ...

Kuzan felt an irresistible force crashing down on him, and his arms, which he used to block, were wracked with excruciating pain, as if his bones were cracking. He tumbled wildly across the ice field like a spinning top, smashing through countless ice mounds and prisms before finally coming to a stop amidst a mess of ice shards.

How could it be... this powerful?!

In just a moment, Kuzan, who had seemed to be in complete control when fighting Yamato, was now in a sorry state.

The once neat and clean naval admiral's uniform was now tattered rags, and his exposed skin was covered in blood and wounds.

To put it more vividly, if Kuzan were to go out and play the victim now, even beggars would give him a few coins.

"Oh, can you still stand up?"

Kane gazed at the swaying figure in the distance, yet still stubbornly holding on, and sighed inwardly.

As expected of the third admiral, his resilience and willpower are rare even on the high seas.

Just then, a low shout, suppressed with pain yet still resolute, rang out:

Ice Age!

"Oh? Another way to solve this problem?"

Seeing the future and knowing he couldn't escape it, Kane simply stopped where he was.

As Kuzan's voice faded, it was as if absolute zero had descended! Centered on him, a visible white wave of cold air fanned out and instantly swept and spread toward Kane.

In the instant the cold wind swept by, Kane was instantly sealed within a huge, crystal-clear, azure ice, like a perfect amber specimen.

This is Kuzan's solution to the problem of foreseeing the future.

Wide-range attack.

As long as the attack range covers all your possible dodge routes, even if you can see the future, there is no way to avoid it!

The instant Kane was frozen, the already prepared, sky-covering ice spears, like an army receiving orders, rained down on the ice sculpture from all directions with a piercing whistle!

Even though Kane was encased in ice, his mind remained sharp:

"Tsk, that's the biggest difference between Logia-type and Mythical Zoan-type. Yamato wouldn't be able to do it so casually."

only……

Are you looking down on me?

Kane, who was encased in ice, twitched his muscles slightly!

Bang!!

The massive, azure ice, harder than steel, shattered from the inside. Before the shattered ice fragments even hit the ground, the man who had been frozen inside had vanished.

"Lightning speed!"

With a flash of light, countless ice spears shattered on the ground as if a speed bump had hit a dump truck, offering no resistance whatsoever!

The outcome was predictable; Kuzan, having exhausted all his offensive power, had no energy left for defense.

We are all living life to the fullest.

For Kane at this moment, Kuzan is nothing more than a slightly larger speed bump.

Aokiji Kuzan, out!

Chapter 160 Kane Angrily Rebukes the Navy! The Deal with the Five Elders

Those who surrender will not be killed!

When Kane appeared in the sky above the main battlefield carrying the completely unconscious Kuzan, the noisy battlefield seemed to be muted, and suddenly became quiet.

The naval soldiers, already struggling in the midst of a fierce battle, completely lost their last shred of fighting spirit after witnessing that familiar figure being limply carried away by the enemy.

The clanging of weapons falling to the ground echoed everywhere, and only a few officers were desperately trying to hold on, but ultimately they could not reverse the tide of the war.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible! Mr. Kuzan... How could he have lost?!"

Gion's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with shock and bewilderment.

That's a Navy Admiral!

The Navy's top-tier combat power!

However, the cruel reality will not change in the slightest because of her will.

With the successive defeats of Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Joker—three top-tier CP0 fighters—the fate of the remaining five vice admirals' resistance was already sealed; it was merely a matter of time.

Just over ten minutes later, five vice admirals, including Gion and Onigumo, were bound tightly by heavy seastone chains and forced to kneel on the wide deck of the Reckoning, keeping company with the unconscious Sakazuki and Kuzan.

"what?"

Kane's gaze fell on the unconscious, pale-faced Sakazuki, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise: "He was quite energetic before I left, how come he's become so weak after just a short time?"

"This...that..."

Knowing she might have gotten into trouble, Bonnie immediately lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, her eyes darting around, avoiding Kane's gaze.

Big Bear gave a helpless bitter smile, stepped forward, and whispered a brief account of how Bonnie had "tortured" Sakazuki.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces became incredibly interesting, and their shoulders involuntarily twitched slightly.

"Pfft... Hahahaha..."

Kane broke the silence first, bursting into a hearty laugh. He ruffled Bonnie's pink hair vigorously and exclaimed, "You're something else, Bonnie!"

A dignified naval admiral was so angered by a five-year-old child that he vomited blood.

He will remember Sakazuki for the rest of his life for this "glorious deed"!
