Sonic Boom vs. Ice!

Faced with the onslaught of ice spears, Bullet was not alarmed but delighted. A fierce fighting spirit shone in his majestic lion eyes. Then, he opened his lion's mouth full of fangs and roared forward with a sound that could shatter rocks and split ice.

[Roar!!]

The roar, amplified by Mahes's power, transformed into a pale golden Sonic Boom, shattering all the ice spears with overwhelming force. The ice shards dissolved into the cold air, but the roar remained undiminished as it continued its charge towards Kuzan.

"Ice Wall!"

Kuzan endured the pain in his ears, took a deep breath and exhaled a burst of cold air, instantly freezing a thick wall of ice in front of him. However, this seemingly safe wall only lasted a moment before shattering.

But it had already achieved its purpose; the impact of the Sonic Boom was negated. However, Kuzan was still in trouble because the sound was just too loud. Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom —it has a sound in addition to the boom!

The sound was deafening, truly deafening, causing Kuzan to instinctively cover his ears and retreat repeatedly. But just then, Bullet's figure burst forth from the shattered ruins of the ice wall.

"Iron Body Fist: Cannon!"

His arms, covered in layers of golden lion mane, swelled up as if inflated, like two thick hydraulic presses tearing through the cold air in their path, and struck Kuzan heavily—twelve punches in a row!

[Bang bang.]

Unsurprisingly, Kuzan's body was torn to pieces after such a severe injury, and the scene looked gruesome. But unfortunately, he is Logia Fruit user. As long as his attacks are not imbued with Haki and he still has the stamina to become an elemental being, no matter how fierce your attack is, it will be useless.

Bullet should have known this, but he ignored it and continued to furiously pound the surrounding ice after firing a round of 'cannon' shots.

Especially the areas that Kuzan was trying to shape, were subjected to punches and kicks, with Sonic Boom booms being released from time to time. Some of the teachers and students watching the battle turned pale with fright.

Bullet was simply too crazy and terrifying at this moment, but what they didn't know was that this was because Bullet had heard Vidal say that although the elementalization of Logia Fruit users was troublesome, as long as it was constantly destroyed, then each time it was reshaped, it would require more physical strength than maintaining the elementalization.

This is a method for Zoan users to deal with Logia users when they don't have Haki, because theoretically, the former's stamina is definitely more endurance than the latter's.

In other words, Logia Devil Fruit users essentially use their mana bar as a health bar. Once the mana bar is depleted, they naturally cannot transform into elements, and even if they were not injured before, they will not be able to continue fighting once their stamina is exhausted.

However, there is a problem here: the former must be able to withstand the elemental damage of the latter. Otherwise, if the former cannot withstand the damage and falls first, then there is no point in talking about it.

Or the latter element itself does not cause damage, such as smoke, swamp, or similar elements.

Now that his Sonic Boom can counter Kuzan's freeze, it's all about durability!

Furthermore, judging from Kuzan's pained expression, it's clear that elementalization doesn't provide the same immunity to the effects of a massive sound as his own, which means there's going to be a fight.

"Ice Ball!"

[Swish--]

Kuzan found another opportunity to unleash a torrent of cold air, freezing Bullet once again, but this time he didn't stand still and quickly distanced himself from the Ice Ball.

"What a troublesome ability, it's making me deaf." Kuzan rubbed his ears vigorously, his expression stern. If it weren't for his superhuman physique, his ears would probably be bleeding by now.

The core ability of the Ice-Ice Fruit is cold air, which can be released and controlled to freeze targets or create ice attacks.

It turns out that freezing him directly doesn't work, and ice attacks aren't very effective against Bullet's strong physical abilities, but the third method seems to be working.

[Crack--Bang!]

The Ice Ball exploded in the Inazuma, but this time Bullet didn't rush to attack. Instead, he stood still and raised his right hand to examine it.

A thin layer of white frost appeared on the lion's mane, which was clearly just a superficial appearance. He gently lifted a layer of golden fur and touched the underlying skin with a lion's paw. Sure enough, it felt stiff and cold to the touch.

"So you finally found it?" Kuzan smiled, holding his ice blade.

"What's going on?" Bullet asked, frowning. "My voice should be able to shatter this ice."

"But you can't shatter your own body."

"My ability is cold air. Creating ice is just one use. Another use is low temperature. Unlike ice, low temperature can be conducted into the human body, causing it to freeze."

Kuzan, being a local of this world, didn't find anything strange about his explanation, nor did the teachers and students around him.

"Your voice can shatter the surface ice, but it can't melt the gradually stiffening muscles or the constantly losing body heat. After all, a voice is just a voice; it doesn't generate temperature itself."

"So if you keep fighting, you'll eventually be unable to move, even if there's no ice covering your body. Do you still want to keep fighting?"

Upon hearing this explanation, the teachers and students feigned Satori understanding, but how many of them truly comprehended it is unknown, since knowledge of energy is not taught in military academies.

How could he possibly know these things?

Vidal, who was watching the battle from a distance, asked Zephyr beside him in confusion. He was now starting to suspect that Kuzan had been transported to another world.

"It must be the books that He gave me. I remember He asked me for books about ice about a year ago, but the school didn't have any of those things. Later, I heard He say that she went to the Science Unit." Zephyr said nonchalantly.

"So that's how it is!" Vidal feigned Satori, thinking to himself, "Now that explains the strange names of Kuzan's moves in the future."

Names like 'Ice Time Ice Time Capsule' and 'Ice Age,' which clearly require some scientific knowledge, are probably things he learned from those books.

And then there's the constant use of English. Most science-related books in the world, or rather, the majority of books, are written in English. It's strange, but that's the reality.

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted them to have a good fight?" Vidal asked, noticing Zephyr.

"Haven't we already fought one battle? Let's leave the final outcome to Z Island. I think our current resentment will turn into even stronger motivation then!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr vanished from his spot and reappeared in the cold arena, causing Bullet and Kuzan, who were about to continue their fight, to stop in their tracks.

"Oh, that's a pity. I was actually quite curious to see which of them would last until the end." Vidal shook his head regretfully.

Although Bullet lacks Haki and cannot directly harm Kuzan's elemental form, his thunderous roar can damage the latter's ears. If the fight goes on for too long, Kuzan might even faint, since the ears and brain are so close.

So whether Kuzan's low temperature would first completely freeze Bullet's body, or Bullet's Sonic Boom would first stun Kuzan, is truly an unknown.

Vidal watched Bullet, who had been punched to the ground by Zephyr and was full of resentment, and silently pondered.
