Grand Line Paradise.
The Lulusia Kingdom.
After two days and one night of fighting.
At this time, the entire Lulusia Kingdom was reduced to ruins, with one-third of the island's land submerged and riddled with craters and ravines.
When Kuzan, Moria, and Doria landed, their expressions were all extremely solemn.
On a mountain peak that had been largely destroyed.
The three of them watched the battle unfold in all directions.
" Moria, I'm leaving Kuro, that Vampire Fruit user, in your care. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing Kuzan's words, Moria looked towards the raging forest where the Oni Onigumo was struggling to survive, and the person fighting the Onigumo was none other than the Kuro the Vampire.
"Sure, but all the enemy corpses are mine."
"Anything you can do to kill the other person is fine."
In an instant Moria transformed into a black bat and flew towards Kuro.
Kuzan looked at another Shichibukai, Doria: "Your Excellency will be in charge of supporting Professor Zeff."
"Not kill the Admiral? His opponent seems to be a master of hand-to-hand combat!" Doria replied with a forced smile, then his legs transformed into jets, and he flew towards the battlefield where Zephyr and Vic were.
Kuzan then looked at the remaining three battlefields.
Empty vs. Noah.
Borsalino vs. Joshua.
Tokikake vs. Lilian.
He thought for a moment, then made a decision and flew directly towards Tokikake.
Ice Age!
Tokikake, who was suffering from Lilian's radiation attack, breathed a sigh of relief. His battles over the past two days had been too arduous. Fighting against this hedgehog-like Logia Tokikake Kaji, a master swordsman, feel restricted.
" Tokikake, go support Fleet Admiral Kong. Leave this to me."
"Be careful, this woman is incredibly powerful." With that, Tokikake swiftly leaped into the air and disappeared.
Kuzan stared intently at Lilian.
"Hehe, who do we have here? It's Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuzan..." Lilian was enveloped in incandescent light, like another the Sun.
"Frozen Oxygen Snow!" Kuzan used what he had just learned, instantly draining the surrounding oxygen.
"Not bad, isn't this the Snow-Snow Devil Fruit User's technique from the Sky Empire? Too bad I've moved beyond the chemical combustion stage; oxygen has no effect on me."
The nuclear fission reaction in Lilian's body remained completely unchanged.
Kuzan looked at the ineffective attack with a hint of surprise on his face.
Lilian continued, "You seem to be planning to freeze the oxygen in the entire Lulusia Kingdom? I advise you to abandon this foolish idea."
Kuzan, who had been silent, also reacted instantly.
Lilian and Joshua are Logia, Kuro is Vampire. These enemies, who have already been revealed, do not require oxygen.
On the Navy's side, apart from him and Borsalino, no one else can fight for a long time in an oxygen-free environment. If he freezes the oxygen in the Lulusia Kingdom, the consequence will be that Moria and Onigumo will be weakened first.
This was even before Kuzan knew that Vic was Devil Fruit User; otherwise, he would have been even less willing to use it.
Why did you remind me?
"Heh, because it doesn't matter." Lilian conjured light bullets in her hands. " Yasakani no Magatama!"
"?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Countless energy projectiles shot towards Kuzan.
" Ice Mirror!"
Ice Mirror, resembling a city wall, emerged from the ground.
Boom boom boom...
The light projectiles struck the Ice Mirror wall; some were deflected, while others exploded violently.
Lilian propelled herself through the air with flames, then swung her fist downwards. " Volcanic Meteor!"
Countless scorching hot lava projectiles rained down from the sky.
" Pheasant Beak!"
An ice bird took flight.
Boom boom boom...
Amidst the flying ice shards and sparks, Kuzan couldn't help but sigh, "In terms of Devil Fruit development, I'm no match for you!"
"Because I am the Sun!" Lilian's Flame-Flame Fruit has been developed to a whole new level. In nuclear fission mode, her power is dozens of times stronger than before.
On the other side.
Seeing Vic suddenly retreat and the laser beam shooting from the side, Zephyr quickly stopped, panting slightly. "Huff, huff..."
"You two don't mind if I meddle, do you?" Doria descended from mid-air with a smile.
Vic dusted himself off and smiled at Zephyr, "Mr. Zephyr, it seems the one-on-one fight is over."
"I'm sorry, as a marine, I can only fulfill my duty." Although Zephyr felt that ganging up on someone wasn't exactly honorable, he was no longer the Z he once was.
Vic shook his head. "Haha, Mr. Zephyr, it's a pleasure to fight you. Since we're on different sides, there's no need to hold back."
"Are you two still playing? Or how about we find a place to have a drink?" Doria suggested with a smile.
"Then let's continue! Since we've become enemies, let me bury you here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vic plunged his hands into the rocks in the ground.
Zephyr's hair stood on end instantly.
Doria's feet instantly transformed into rocket thrusters. "Maximum thrust!"
Boom boom boom...
A terrifying, earth-shattering explosion erupted suddenly from the ground, and the plume of smoke, originating from the epicenter which spanned several kilometers, shot into the stratosphere.
A massive shockwave swept out.
It swept in all directions like a category 18 hurricane.
An earthquake and tsunami followed closely behind.
From within a column of smoke several kilometers wide, a stray flame stumbled out, revealing none other than Doria, who had slipped away unnoticed.
On the Buster Call fleet, more than 20 kilometers off the coast of the Lulusia Kingdom, Momonga sensed a deadly crisis with his Observation Haki. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he quickly picked up Den Den Mushi:
"All personnel, listen up! Immediately increase alert!"
boom...
A violent shockwave, accompanied by waves tens of meters high, rapidly approached the Buster Call fleet.
"What?!" Only then did the Momonga realize why its Observation Haki had emitted such a terrifying warning.
Kuzan also sensed the danger posed by the Buster Call fleet. He quickly broke free from Lilian's grasp and unleashed a wide-range freeze attack.
"Super Ice Age!"
Click click...
The sea within a radius of nearly fifty kilometers around the Lulusia Kingdom was completely frozen.
However, the shockwave from the explosion was not weakened much, and the ice layer was also damaged by the seismic waves.
Boom! A shockwave hurricane Buster Call fleet.
Although the tsunami was suppressed, the hurricane and earthquake still made the Buster Call fleet feel the apocalyptic man-made disaster.
Crack... The mast, several meters thick, snapped instantly.
The ice layer collapsed and compressed, directly cracking the hulls of several warships.
Marines who couldn't hold on tightly were swept into the air by the hurricane.
And at this moment, at the epicenter of the explosion.
Even with all his might, Zephyr 'Armament Haki was still unable to withstand such a super-explosive frontal attack.
As the smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated, a crater more than five kilometers wide appeared at the center of the explosion, with a large amount of magma gushing up from the bottom of the crater.
Zephyr was on the verge of death, kneeling on the few remaining rocks, struggling to support himself with his arms, his chest rising and falling weaker and weaker.
"Whoosh... Is this Dyna Stone?"
Vic, emerging from the lava, looked at the exhausted Zephyr, "I am Logia Rock-Rock Devil Fruit User."
"I see... It seems you truly... have the potential to overthrow this world... I hope you won't become the new Celestial Dragons..."
Zephyr's heart stopped beating.
"You are a worthy opponent, but unfortunately we are on different sides." Vic pushed his corpse into the lava, and the scalding hot lava immediately engulfed Zephyr's body.
Admiral Zephyr, the naval chief instructor, was killed in action.
