Kuzan vs. Bullet!

The atmosphere on the large Sports Field of the Marine Headquarters Academy was extremely tense and cold. A layer of misty cold air hung in the air, and the male and female teachers and students nearby had already moved to the sidelines.

The arena had long since transformed into a battlefield of ice and Sonic Booms, with ice blocks shattered everywhere by deafening explosions, and shards of ice mixed with the biting wind rushing towards you.

"Bullet is here again!"

"That's right, but this time he seems a bit too excited; he tried to force the issue even when the other party disagreed!"

"That guy is a Logia after all. To be honest, I'd really like to experience what it's like to fight Logia."

Gion heard the whispers of the other trainees around her and a look of helplessness crossed her face. Kaji, who was standing next to her, spoke her mind Tokikake hesitation.

"This guy is too violent! He started fighting less than five minutes after we met, and he wouldn't listen to anyone trying to stop him!"

"That's just how Bullet is, we know that all too well." Gion sighed. "But thankfully, Kuzan is a Logia, so he should be fine."

"Logia, huh?" Tokikake felt a pang of melancholy upon hearing that word. "Why isn't my Devil Fruit Logia? Sigh!"

Golden Inazuma exploded in the white frost, and a sharp lion's claw covered in golden fur collided with an ice blade radiating intense cold.

[Boom!!]

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, shaking the very air. The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire school; anyone in any corner of Marineford could hear it clearly.

The energy of the Sonic Boom continuously impacted the ice blade in Kuzan's hand, but whenever a crack appeared on the blade, more cold air would surge out to restore and reinforce it.

But the force surging from the lion's claws forced him backward, leaving long cracks in the already frozen ground.

"This guy's a monster!" Kuzan stared speechlessly at Bullet, whose face was brimming with fighting spirit.

I met Vidal yesterday, so I thought I'd come see Bullet and Gion today, since we'll all be classmates in the third Zephyr Training Camp in a few days.

But who knew that as soon as he said his name and purpose, and mentioned his Ice-Ice Fruit ability, Bullet got excited and said he wanted to fight him.

He naturally refused. After all, how could they start fighting right after meeting? Besides, there should be plenty of opportunities to spar once they entered the Special Training Camp. But Bullet didn't care at all and wouldn't listen to any of that.

Since the person is already here, why wait a few more days? That would be too painful. Let's have a match now and then, and fight again at the Special Training Camp. There's no conflict!

With this in mind, Bullet, seeing that Kuzan didn't want to fight, punched the latter in the face without saying a word, smashing his entire head to pieces.

Not only were Gion Tokikake stunned, but the teachers and students who were passing by or paying attention were also stunned. However, the most stunned person was Kuzan himself, who really did not expect Bullet to be so bold!

But Bullet didn't give him a chance to speak. Seeing him recover from his ice block transformation, Barrett's blood boiled even more.

"As expected of Logia, this is so interesting, so incredibly interesting!"

"Ha ha!"

A burst of wild laughter not only ignited this sudden battle, but also propelled Bullet from human form into his strongest Zoan form, the Human-Beast Form!

"In that case, let's fight."

Kuzan's eyes sharpened. He was full of youthful vigor and only eighteen years old. He couldn't tolerate such constant provocation and attacks.

"Haha, are you finally getting serious, Kuzan?!"

Bullet also noticed the change in his opponent. Overjoyed, he threw his head back and roared wildly. Golden light flowed through his golden fur, and golden lightning flashed in the air with his roar.

His Logia Ice-Ice Fruit ability made him memorize Kuzan's name instantly!

"Don't blame me if you get hurt, Bullet," Kuzan exhaled a cold breath, but his response was yet another fierce attack from Bullet.

[Boom!]

That's the power of the Mahes Form; even the sound of it cutting through the air is like thunder, which eliminates any possibility of Bullet launching a sneak attack or stealth.

Bullet leaped up like a golden lion, pouncing down from above, his ten claws reaching for Kuzan's head, his eyes filled with a chilling intent. To onlookers, he showed no mercy, appearing as if he truly intended to tear the latter apart.

Kuzan was no weakling either. He was prepared and immediately transformed into his element, allowing the ice body to be cut into several pieces. At the same time, he reshaped himself from behind Bullet.

"Ice Ball!"

[Whoosh--]

The next moment, an incredibly dense white mist erupted from his body, instantly freezing the golden humanoid lion that had its back to him!

"It's over."

Kuzan stopped what he was doing and looked at Bullet through the ice. His gaze was calm and confident.

He had used this technique on several pirates with bounties in the South Blue before, and without exception, none of them were able to break free. Some of the weaker ones even froze to death.

However, given Bullet's abilities, there shouldn't be any major problems.

This scene left the surrounding teachers and students dumbfounded. They were silent for a moment, and then a commotion broke out.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way?"

"Bullet lost?!"

"Are Logia Fruit users really that strong? Even that violent madman was defeated so quickly?"

"Maybe so. Didn't the newspapers say before that future Marine Admirals would include Vidal, Sakazuki, Borsalino? They're all Logia Fruit users!"

"No, Rear Admiral Vidal is Special Paramecia. Could you go and find out about him first?"

"Who knows? Nobody knows which type the Woods-Woods Fruit belongs to."

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a series of cracking sounds suddenly brought all the noise back to silence.

Kuzan, standing in front of the Ice Ball, narrowed his eyes, because he saw the surface of the Ice Ball rapidly developing countless cracks.

[Bang--]

The next moment, the entire Ice Ball exploded, turning into dangerous ice blocks like bullets that shot in all directions. Fortunately, the teachers and some skilled students in the crowd intervened and intercepted them one by one.

This is no ordinary school; it's the Marine Headquarters Academy located in Marineford!

"Hmph, not bad. If it weren't for the fact that your Devil Fruit ability is still usable, it wouldn't have been easy for you to get out." Bullet, his body Coating with golden Inazuma, sneered mockingly, "You can't freeze a voice!"

"Oh dear, this is getting a bit tricky."

Upon hearing this, Kuzan's expression changed. He then exhaled a breath of cold air towards himself, which quickly froze into a long, sharp ice blade.

He wasn't joking; it was the truth from the bottom of his heart. This was truly the first time he had encountered an opponent he couldn't freeze, and that was a huge deal for someone who was frozen.

Fortunately, he had other methods. Top-tier Logia abilities are not so simple, and Bullet didn't seem to have any abilities that could harm him.

[Whoosh!]

Kuzan swung his ice blade at Bullet, and the white, icy aura surrounding him instantly froze, transforming into sharp, icy spears.

"Ice Partisan!"

It was as if invisible spear-wielding soldiers had appeared on the scene, shooting towards the golden lion at his command.

[Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!]
