The Power of the Frozen Lineage Factor

"Crack crack crack~" The moment the burly pirate's fist landed on Mosson's arm, a layer of white mist crawled onto his arm like a persistent scar. A small half of the burly pirate's arm was frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The burly pirate's expression changed slightly, and he immediately retracted his fist, pulling back.

Seeing this, Mosson smiled slightly and said, "Can you run? Soru!"

The next second, Mosson disappeared from his spot and instantly appeared behind the burly pirate with a Soru.

"Rankyaku·Ice Burst!" Accompanied by Mosson's faint murmur, the surrounding ice and snow instantly boiled, and a pale blue slash carrying a chilling aura, wrapped in ice and snow, blasted straight towards the burly pirate.

At such a short distance and with such a wide area of attack, even if the burly pirate's Observation Haki sensed Mosson's attack, he couldn't avoid it and could only choose to take it head-on.

"Brat! Don't look down on me!" With that, the burly pirate turned and covered his leg with Armament Haki, directly confronting Mosson's Rankyaku.

"Crack~" A sound like breaking glass echoed. Mosson's attack was directly kicked and shattered, and the burly pirate's right leg was covered in frost, just like his left arm when he attacked Mosson.

The burly pirate snorted coldly, covered his right hand with Armament Haki, and directly smashed the ice on his body. After moving his frozen left arm and right leg, he asked, "Brat, are you a Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit user?"

"Guess."

The burly pirate's expression sank upon hearing this. The brief exchange with Mosson had already given him a rough idea of Mosson's strength. In his prime, an opponent of this level would be nothing, and even now, he was confident he could defeat Mosson. The only thing that made him wary was Mosson's ability to control ice and snow.

In an environment like the Extreme Cold Hell, the natural advantage of controlling ice and snow was too great.

Mosson clearly understood this as well, so when faced with the burly pirate's question, he used the universal answer: "Guess."

"You're good at Six Powers, aren't you?" the burly pirate suddenly asked.

Mosson remained silent.

"Do you know that the so-called Six Powers are not rare in the New World? These skills are not difficult to learn; some strong individuals can master them just by looking at them once."

As soon as the burly pirate finished speaking, his figure disappeared from his spot.

The next second, Mosson felt a sharp pain in his back, as if he had been shot by a firearm.

"This is Six Powers' Shigan, you should be familiar with it, right?" The burly pirate said excitedly, looking at the bloody hole in Mosson's back.

Mosson frowned, sealed the wound with cold air, and then manipulated the surrounding ice and snow to form a giant ice hammer, turning and smashing it towards the burly pirate.

The burly pirate dodged Mosson's attack with a Soru. Mosson's mind moved, and the ice hammer instantly turned into countless ice needles, shooting towards the burly pirate.

The burly pirate hadn't expected Mosson's manipulation of ice and snow to have reached this level. Facing such a dense attack, he was startled and quickly used Armament Haki for defense.

However, the burly pirate's Armament Haki couldn't cover his entire body like Vergo's in the original work. Mosson's ice needle attack had a large range, so the burly pirate could only protect his vital areas. A large number of ice needles pierced through the burly pirate's body, leaving one bloody hole after another.

"Bastard! Brat, you've angered me!" The burly pirate roared and once again charged at Mosson with a Soru.

This time, Mosson was prepared and dodged the burly pirate's attack with Kami-e.

Kami-e, in a sense, was similar to Observation Haki. As the name suggests, Kami-e allowed one to control their body with the ease of drawing on paper, by sensing the airflow changes caused by the opponent's attack movements to evade it.

But the burly pirate's attack wasn't just a single strike. Mosson hadn't mastered Observation Haki, and under the burly pirate's stormy assault, Mosson was still hit.

However, the moment the burly pirate's fist landed on Mosson, he felt something was wrong.

Mosson's body was as hard as if it were covered in Armament Haki.

"You actually switched to Tekkai the moment I hit you?" the burly pirate exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh! Don't you think your fist feels a bit strange? Or perhaps your left hand is already so numb from the cold that you can't feel the pain anymore?"

The burly pirate's expression changed slightly. After staying in this icy environment for so long, even the physically strongest person would suffer frostbite. Coupled with Mosson's previous freezing, the burly pirate's left arm and right leg were completely numb.

The burly pirate quickly looked down at his left arm. His face turned ashen at the sight. His left fist was actually bleeding and cracking.

"Wh-what did you do?"

Mosson didn't answer. How could he explain such a thing?

His technique was called Tekkai·Utsugi, a special extension of Tekkai he developed. It used Tekkai to reflect the opponent's attack back, and the stronger the attacking force, the stronger the counter-force. An ordinary person's fist would be destroyed in an instant.

Facing the burly pirate's questioning, Mosson said calmly, "The Six Powers are indeed not profound techniques, but who says simple techniques can't defeat an opponent? It's time to end this!"

After speaking, cold air surged around Mosson's body. The burly pirate felt a strong sense of crisis and instinctively wanted to retract his fist and retreat.

However, the burly pirate soon discovered that the blood on his fist was frozen by the cold air, and his fist couldn't be retracted.

"Ice Time!"

Cold air surged around Mosson, and the next second, the burly pirate was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Mosson clenched his right hand slightly, and cold air condensed into an ice hammer in his hand, which then smashed directly into the burly pirate's ice sculpture.

"Crack~" The ice sculpture shattered, and the burly pirate was also reduced to fragments.

"Next time, anyone who dares to violate the rules of the prison will suffer the same fate as this guy!" Mosson said expressionlessly.

Most of the surrounding prisoners lowered their heads, not daring to look at Mosson anymore. However, some prisoners showed expressions of eagerness to try.

They believed that Mosson must have expended a lot of energy in his fight with the burly pirate. If they attacked now, they might have a chance to kill Mosson.

Mosson remained calm about this. With the Ice Lineage Factor, the Extreme Cold Hell was his home turf. He could definitely hold out until the Military Wolf arrived.

However, to Mosson's surprise, before those prisoners could make a move, four people stepped in front of him.

"What do you guys mean by this?" a prisoner who was about to make a move asked.

"Nothing, we just don't want the jailer to die like this," Mia said with a smile.

"Mia, do you think so too?" another prisoner asked the female pirate who was as round as a ball.

"My brain isn't very good. Whatever Mia says, I do," Paddy replied without hesitation.

"Us too," said the one-armed pirate Ian and the one-eyed pirate Michael in unison.
