Esdeath Finally Arrives!

"Whew... Whew... That was close! What on earth happened?"

Vice Admiral Liver of the Imperial Navy stared in disbelief at the ice wall that had suddenly frozen in front of him as he instinctively manipulated the water in a nearby fish tank to protect himself after sensing the danger.

Without this, he would be in the same situation as everyone else in the room, frozen in place like an ice sculpture.

"This is."

When Liver stepped out of his high-rise office and looked down at the entire harbor, he was horrified to find that everything below was completely frozen, even part of the island had become a frosty white world.

The Imperial Marine Headquarters was wiped out inexplicably!

[Bang!]

Suddenly, a loud crash came from the east side, as if something had been destroyed. Vice Admiral Liver immediately looked over.

He discovered that it was Enshin, who was also Vice Admiral, carrying a long sword with a distinctly curved blade, and walking out of the officers' residence where the door had been kicked open, shirtless.

It was clear that the other party was also in shock.

Enshin surveyed the Marine Headquarters, now a frozen wasteland, with a livid face.

He was just in his bedroom doing his favorite activity with a female lieutenant colonel when he noticed that large patches of white frost suddenly appeared on the wall and door behind her at an extremely fast speed.

At this critical moment...

He trusted his intuition, honed on the battlefield, without hesitation.

First, he forcefully pushed away the woman who was unaware of what was happening to her, then kicked her in the abdomen, making her the first to come into contact with the frost and cold air.

This bought him less than two seconds, but enough time to pick up the Teigu 'Moonlight Dance: Wind Blade Sword' beside the bed.

Finally, protected by the swung vacuum Wind Blade, it was fortunate to withstand the onslaught of cold air and frost.

As for that woman

He had already turned into an ice sculpture with a shocked expression at the bedroom doorway.

"Brother Liver, what's going on?"

Despite the cold, Enshin shouted questions as she quickly ran to Liver's side.

Although the latter disliked his frequent affairs with women in the military, at this moment she could only help him, so she simply shook her head calmly.

"I just came out of the house like you, but judging from the situation, I must have been attacked by someone, and their ability is ice-based, just like General Esdeath's!"

But Enshin's face turned ashen after hearing this, and she said, "Is it possible that it is her?"

"What did you say!"

General Liver was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. "Do you know what nonsense you're spouting?"

"Hmph, only those of us at the Vice Admiral and above know the specific intelligence about the World Government. Esdeath definitely knows more. Who knows if she's directly defected to the other side?"

Enshin coldly stated her thoughts aloud.

He had been severely beaten by Esdeath before, but the huge difference in strength meant he had to endure it. He only dared to flirt with her just now because she wasn't at headquarters.

"You!"

General Liver, with his long white hair, stared at Enshin in disbelief.

Just as he was about to raise his ring-shaped Teigu 'Water Dragon Possession: Black Marlin' in a fit of rage to teach his opponent a lesson, a gentle male voice rang out in the arena.

"Oh dear, at a time like this, are you still fighting amongst yourselves?"

"Who goes there!"

"Who!"

Liver and Enshin quickly turned around to look at the source of the sound.

Really.

They saw a very tall, curly-haired man in a white suit appear thirty meters away without them noticing.

Kuzan looked at the two calmly and asked, "Excuse me, where is Esdeath?"

Liver and Enshin exchanged a glance.

Realizing that Esdeath hadn't betrayed them brought them a slight sense of relief, but it also meant that the current icy landscape was the work of the other side.

"Idiot, who would tell you that? Go to hell and smash it!"

The next second.

Enshin suddenly surged forward at lightning speed, rushing towards Kuzan. His speed was so great that he even left blurry afterimages behind him. However, the most dangerous weapon was the Teigu 'Wind Blade Sword' in his hand.

"Full Moon Wheel!"

As the scimitar was swung wildly, all the air blades Setsuna formed a sphere around the Enshin Core.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a technique that combines both offense and defense.

Rear.

Liver also bit off a piece of flesh from his arm, and then used the special ability of his Teigu 'Water Dragon Possession' to manipulate liquids to extract some blood, which was then shaped into crescent-shaped blood-red blades in mid-air.

There was no way around it, because all the liquids in the Marine Headquarters were frozen by Kuzan's 'Ice Age'.

Therefore, he had no choice but to directly unleash the ultimate technique of the Teigu.

That is, controlling blood flow.

"Blood Blade Kill!"

With a furious roar, more than a dozen blood-red blades spun rapidly and hurtled towards Kuzan from multiple directions.

"Looks like Esdeath isn't here. This is a bit troublesome, eh."

At this moment, as if sighing, Kuzan blew a cloud of cold, white mist towards Enshin, who was attacking with all his might, and instantly engulfed him.

[Swish----]

When the cold air dissipates.

Enshin was frozen inside the Ice Ball like Kohaku, then crashed heavily to the ground.

"Oh, sorry, I don't really like people who swear a lot."

Kuzan calmly watched Enshin in the Ice Ball puck.

He went all out, freezing the opponent's internal organs and brain. Otherwise, if he had only wanted to capture the opponent alive, he would have kept them on the surface of their body.

The next second

The high-speed, blood-red blades all passed right through him, without making a sound of touching anything.

"What!"

At the same time.

Suddenly, Liver saw a large, white hand with long, slender fingers, covered in wisps of frost and cold air, obscuring most of his vision.

At the same time, it moved so fast that the body couldn't react at all; with only trembling, contracting pupils, the body could only watch helplessly as it approached, and lightly patted its face.

The brain then realized that the other person was already in front of it.

"So fast!"

Next, everything went black, and I instantly lost all consciousness. All the blood blades in the distance lost control and turned into pools of blood that fell onto the frozen ground.

The body slashed by the bloody blade gradually dissipated with the blowing cold wind; it turned out to be just an afterimage.

"Let's keep this one."

Kuzan withdrew his hand, which still retained wisps of cold air, then put his hands in his pristine white pockets and looked down at the hundreds of warships and buildings of various types that he had frozen.

"If Esdeath isn't here, she must be on the mainland, or perhaps she's back in the Imperial Capital?"

He suddenly regretted using 'Ice Age' right off the bat.

Because they were worried that the people here wouldn't have enough time to relay messages to the outside world.

However, Kuzan clearly underestimated the intelligence capabilities of an empire that had existed for a thousand years and had been at war for a thousand years.

In less than two days, a black dot appeared in the western sky, rapidly approaching.

"They actually managed to freeze the entire Marine Headquarters. That's interesting."

Esdeath stood atop the back of the 'Vyburn Wyvern', enjoying the constant, chilling wind.

He showed no Wrath or sadness at the brutal reality of the annihilation of his entire subordinate force; instead, his face revealed a look of eager anticipation.

"Navy Admiral Aokiji of the World Government, huh? Then let me see what your so-called supreme combat power is like!"

Esdeath lifted her right foot and stomped on it with her long heel.

The 'Vyburn Wyvern' immediately understood and increased the frequency of its wing flapping, diving down towards the icy world below.

"Ara la la, they've finally arrived?"

Kuzan stood on the edge of the island cliff above the port, looking at Esdeath flying towards him at high speed with some surprise.

"He dared to come all by himself; he certainly has the air of Navy Admiral!"
