The terrifying comet hurtled down, carrying terrifying power, breaking through Rediat's Dragon Breath.

"He's here!" someone exclaimed.

The approaching comet was very close, trailing a brightly colored "broom" behind it, which was very beautiful, but no one dared to underestimate it.

Seeing that his Dragon Breath had no effect, Rediat decisively gave up, spread his wings, raised his claws, and charged straight at the enemy.

"Oh! Give it a try." Rediat was somewhat surprised that Alastair dared to rush up, and smiled faintly.

Surrounded by surging purple energy, the comet instantly grew two or three times larger, its tail became longer, and its descent speed increased.

The air was churning, and the sweeping airflow created immense pressure below.

"What's going to do? It's not really going to crash down, is it?" Kuzan frowned. There was ice below, which couldn't stop the comet from falling; it would just crash into the sea.

Moreover, as a Devil Fruit user, the consequences of falling into the sea are self-evident. Seeing that the speed of his descent was accelerating, Kuzan began to doubt whether he could stop in time.

Furthermore, its destructive power is immense; there are many people below, and if it falls, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

Although we don't know who the person is, they are definitely from the World Government; no one in the Navy has that kind of ability.

He disliked the World Government's approach; given their arrogance, they wouldn't care about the lives of ordinary naval and army soldiers.

Roar!

Rediat's ferocious Dragon Body, his eyes gleaming with cold light, revealed the newcomer's identity and abilities upon seeing this scene: Rediat, the Vice-Chief of CP0 of the World Government, a powerful monster at the peak of his power.

But this would not be his reason to admit defeat. An eerie shadow flowed around him, obscuring his true form and allowing only the general impression that he resembled a dragon.

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred, and the two collided directly in mid-air.

Rediat caught the falling comet, his body being propelled downwards by the impact.

Even with its wings flapping incessantly, it was useless because the impact was simply too strong.

This shock left him stunned. He knew that his power in his complete beast form was terrifying, even stronger than in his Human-Beast Form.

Moreover, Rediat was surprised to find that this purple power could actually resist the erosion of his Shadow Power, or rather, the interaction between them did not produce much effect.

A comet? Rediat wondered to himself. Rediat knew the name "comet," but he didn't know much about it, only that it was some kind of celestial body in space.

What exactly it was like, Rediat had a picture of it, but it was very faint.

The world still explores too little space, especially in terms of technological and industrial development, which is very uneven.

There are very few records about comets. Apart from a few people who specialize in studying astronomy, it is very likely that some of the records were brought from the moon by Moon People many years ago.

Most people in the world may know about meteorites, but they've never even heard of comets.

Seeing that he could not withstand Alastair's impact, Rediat reacted immediately and hugged the comet tightly.

Despite the powerful Comet Impact, the combined protection of the shadow and the mighty dragon's physique meant that Rediat only suffered minor injuries.

The Shadow Power clashes with the power of the comet.

After falling a considerable distance, Rediat suddenly turned around in mid-air, swapping positions with the comet while embracing it, and then flung it directly downwards.

Since we can't stop him, we need to avoid him. If we can knock him into the sea, that would be the best outcome.

Of course, Rediat was selective in his placement, deliberately throwing the enemy to a location where the allied forces were gathered.

With its powerful inertia, it simply couldn't stop, and Rediat was only two or three hundred meters from the ground.

Boom!

To the astonishment of countless people, the comet crashed directly onto the ice surface, shattering it into fifty pieces, creating a spiderweb-like pattern that continued to spread outwards.

The terrifying impact caused the comet to crash into the sea, shaking the ocean and triggering a chain reaction that directly created a tsunami.

The terrifying power of the surging sea caused the ice to shatter and tremble, with cracks constantly extending in all directions. One could easily fall through the cracks in the ice and be swept into the sea, unable to resist and only able to drift with the current.

Under the influence of seawater, the ice surface bulged up like ocean waves and spread outwards.

Screams continued; for many, it was an absolute catastrophe, a horrific sight. The death toll was staggering. Rediat had thrown him from a position further back in the Allied lines, where a large number of Allied soldiers were located.

"Damn it!" Kuzan couldn't help but roar in anger. This move had caused the deaths of countless coalition members and affected an area spanning thousands of meters.

Especially at sea, it descends like a catastrophe; even a powerful officer or colonel would be swallowed up if he got too close.

With a meteorite nearly 100 meters high falling, coupled with the terrifying impact, the ice surface was extremely fragile in comparison.

Even some pirates were affected, startled by the shaking ice and swallowed by the giant waves that were blown apart by the impact.

Kuzan, of course, wouldn't remain idle. He released an extreme chill from his body, which spread along the solid ice beneath his feet towards the direction where the comet had fallen.

Ice Age!

The sea surface will continue to be frozen, stabilizing the forces on the glacial battlefield and preventing further destruction.

At the same time, he repaired and restored many of the spreading cracks. Of course, Kuzan left some room for those who fell into the sea from the glacial battlefield to come back up.

Otherwise, given the solidity of Kuzan's ice, even those with slightly weaker abilities would struggle to break through it, let alone come up from the sea; most of them would be buried beneath the surface and drown.

The giant waves, still rising, were frozen solid, shimmering with light, like a beautiful work of art.

Some members of the alliance and pirates were also frozen along with the seawater, in various forms, which even Kuzan could not help with.

To prevent even greater losses, some sacrifices will inevitably need to be made, and Kuzan is capable of making that decision.

Moreover, given his Observation Haki, he couldn't sense the conditions in the seawater, so he had no psychological burden.

Many people's attention was drawn to the area where the comet struck, where a "lake" surrounded by ice had appeared. Ice floes drifted on the surface, and the sea remained turbulent, unable to calm down for a long time.

But what about this person? And what about the support from the coalition forces?

No one doubted whether he was a member of the Allied Forces; the timing was too coincidental, coupled with Rediat's decisive action.

He is definitely an extremely powerful ability user.

What happened to that person? They've already fallen into the sea. Is this the end of it?

As a person with superpowers, the consequences of falling into the water are self-evident; those who can guarantee survival are extremely rare.

For example, monsters like Kaido, Ares, and Jack the Drought, who possesses Fish-Man blood.

It would be ridiculous to die like that.

"That's impossible, "Rediat stared intently in that direction, seemingly waiting for something.

You can clearly see the sea surface is shaking, as if something is about to emerge from below.

Soon, a section of the sea surface bulged slightly, and the next moment, a figure enveloped in purple energy emerged from beneath the surface, the purple energy as dazzling as crystal.

It repels seawater, isolating it from energy, thus avoiding contact with seawater and preventing its influence. Even if it falls into the sea, it can still move.

This ability is even more amazing than Kuzan's freezing ability.

Surrounded by a dazzling purple light, Alastair floated in the air and continued to rise. His tall figure, white suit with a gold-trimmed cape, and long golden hair made him look like a nobleman.

The only drawback was that he wore a white mask with black stripes on his face.

Upon seeing his appearance, many people guessed his identity: CP0.

Rediat squinted at Alastair, his next opponent, as did Alastair.

Ignoring everyone else, they stared at each other for a long time. In an instant, Alastair transformed into a streak of purple light, Rediat into a black shadow.

A loud bang echoed through the air as the two collided.

A great battle was about to break out. Shadows and comet lights flashed across the sky like meteors, tracing arcs as they collided with each other.

Both of them were incredibly fast—the speed of a comet, the speed of a shadow. Simply flying was far too slow for Rediat.

As the battle between the two began, the somewhat stalled fight resumed. With reinforcements arriving, the White Ghost's position was taken over by a newly arrived powerful figure.

The balance was not broken, and the two sides returned to their previous state.

The arrival of this powerful newcomer undoubtedly attracted the attention of others, and his identity as a member of CP0 was directly exposed by some insiders, including some who were deliberately trying to reveal it.

Even now, World Government cannot control it; it has spread throughout the world in a short period of time and become known to countless people.

I wonder if the members of CP0 are happy to have gone from being a department hidden in the shadows to being known to the world, which can be described as being half in the light and half in the dark.

This surprised some people who were unaware of the situation, as they hadn't expected the World Government to have such a powerful department hidden within, comparable to the Navy, and known as the "Celestial Dragons' strongest shield."

This is not a good thing for World Government.

The World Government has already revealed one of its trump cards, but what's revealed isn't really a trump card.

The battle between Rediat and Alastair was particularly eye-catching, after all, many strong warriors on the battlefield had been fighting for a long time, and their moves and styles were well known.

Alastair represents a hidden force within the World Government; his identity is shrouded in mystery, his abilities are unique, and he possesses immense power.

The mystery surrounding Alastair is very appealing; he wears a mask, and what they most want to know is Alastair's Devil Fruit ability.

Devil Fruit abilities are undoubtedly representative of a strong person.

That's all they know. As for the rest, they don't even have the right to know, and very few people do. Even if they did know, they wouldn't reveal it through the Transponder Snail.

The mysterious Devil Fruit ability looks incredibly powerful.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came out to tell what the ability of this person was. The Comet Fruit relatively rare, and it is a Devil Fruit the World Government has kept for many years.

So it's normal that others don't know.

Therefore, many people speculated about what this ability was. Eventually, someone who had studied astrology came forward and said that it was an ability related to comets, because the way the ability was used was very similar to that of a comet.

He also casually advertised that he would be producing a video about comets, which would be released soon.

This person has a good business sense and can make a fortune from this, taking advantage of many people's curiosity about Alastair's abilities and the comet.

Clang!

The battle between Rediat and Alastair was extremely intense; he could transform into shadows, moving through the shadows and through the air.

After all, shadows are everywhere, not necessarily in the dark of night. It's just that they are easier to hide in the dark, which is something that Rediat has been able to achieve as his strength has increased and his shadow abilities have been developed.

Just as light and darkness are both forms of radiance.

Rediat felt a lot of pressure from Alastair. Both of them were very fast, but Alastair had a slight edge.

Furthermore, Alastair carried with him a powerful impact from a comet, his body enveloped in purple energy, as he collided with Rediat.

This energy is far more powerful defensively than Rediat's shadow.

Rediat's Armament Haki has reached the level of internal destruction, allowing him to channel his power through Alastair's comet-like energy to attack him.

However, its power will be somewhat weakened, and besides, Alastair also possesses Haki.

Alastair has no weaknesses and is extremely powerful. Such an opponent is the most troublesome and exactly what Rediat needs. Killing Alastair like killing White Ghost is impossible.

Conversely, such head-on battles allow Rediat to improve his strength more quickly, especially in his control and mastery of Conqueror's Haki. Only sufficiently intense battles can drive his progress.

To master world-class skills more quickly and apply them perfectly in combat.

Even with Redfield's experience, people are different, and this is something you have to figure out for yourself; only in this way can you find what suits you best.

Rediat did not use Shadow Domain because he knew that Alastair definitely had the ability to break through Shadow Domain, and using Shadow Domain would be a waste of energy.

Possessing the power of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Rediat was not afraid of such a fierce collision.

Alastair also possesses a monstrous physique; without such aptitude, it would be impossible for him to be recognized by the World Government and obtain this top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit.

Similarly, the two have similar styles, and the sparks they create are extremely intense, much more so than their previous battle with the White Ghost.

Furthermore, Rediat's previous battles with the White Ghost, except for the ones that were no longer visible from the beginning, all took place within the Shadow Domain. In order to better deal with the White Ghost, Rediat also used the Shadow Domain in every battle.
