From one piece to the Maltiverse.

# Chapter 629: The Super Dangerous Beast Appears Again!

"Hmm?"

After about a minute, Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan proved himself to be an Elite Vice Admiral.

He was the first to sense the approaching danger. Instinctively, he released his Observation Haki, scanning the auras within a radius of several kilometers.

"This is!"

A few seconds later, his eyes widened, and he quickly turned his head to look at the vast Sea Surface to the east.

Because he had noticed a Colossus rapidly approaching their side from beneath the Seabed.

A quick calculation estimated it would arrive in at most ten seconds.

"Two o'clock direction! Attention, Enemy Attack!!!"

Onigumo didn't hesitate at all. He immediately roared at the top of his lungs.

At the same time, his entire body instantly turned into an Afterimage and leaped off the Deck, heading straight to meet the unknown Attacker head-on.

Because he could feel that the opponent's Aura was very strong.

The Ocean-type Danger Beasts previously sent by Shen He couldn't compare to the one attacking now.

So Onigumo was certain that if he didn't take action to intercept it immediately, their Fleet would suffer tragic heavy damage.

"Damn it!"

"Could it be that Shen He is playing dirty with us, and the so-called Sword Saint challenge was just a cover for this kind of Sneak Attack?"

Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan, who usually had a good temper, felt Rage surge in his heart at this moment.

After all.

The Sea Star World didn't have 'Sun Tzu's Art of War', nor the saying 'All's fair in war'.

Their thinking was relatively simpler; they didn't particularly like Schemes and Deceit.

When encountering something, they always resolved it by directly acting or using blades.

This also often brought abundant gains to those who were willing to use their brains...

Just as the Marine Fleet of the World Government side fell into somewhat chaotic turmoil under Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan's roaring Warning.

To the east, about five hundred meters out on the Sea Surface, there was a Loud Noise.

It looked as if there was a large Volcanic Eruption underwater, with huge Sea Waves rushing into the sky, forming a sky-high Water Spray over a hundred meters tall.

"That... that is..."

The Marine Soldiers on the Warship watched dumbfounded as a super large marlin, with a long and high dorsal fin, a long and pointed Upper Jaw, and a body pitch black like ink, yet nearly a hundred meters long, emerged.

Wrapped in snake-like Water Flow, it flew high from the Center of the sky-high Water Spray and rapidly dived towards their Fleet's location.

"Sea Kings?!"

"Idiot, this is the Imperial Arms World, it should be an Ocean-type Danger Beast!"

"Are you guys idiots? Is this the time to argue about that?"

"Don't panic, didn't you see Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan taking action? It'll be fine, that Great Marlin's Body Size isn't even that big in our Sea Star World!"

Just as the Battleships, each flying the World Government Flag, hurriedly scattered, attempting to evade the Attack.

The Marine Officer and Soldier on the Deck were discussing animatedly, surprised and uncertain.

There was some panic, but it wasn't very strong, and no one felt Fear or Despair.

This was mainly because they were all from Marine Headquarters and had been carrying out Missions on the Grand Line for a long time.

Seeing huge Body Size Sea Beasts and Sea Monsters like this was commonplace for them.

They were even often dealt with by the Officers on the ships and then turned into extra meal Food for that day.

So it genuinely didn't cause much Chaos.

The entire Fleet was full of confidence in Onigumo, looking forward to appreciating the scene of him cleaving the Great Marlin in two with a single strike...

Under the Watched by All gaze.

Onigumo, wearing a white Coat of Justice, immediately drew the Nichirin Blade with crimson Markings from his Waist.

With his powerful Wrist Strength, he instantly turned it into a 'Crimson Blade', and finally, in Mid-air, he swung out a huge Flame Slash towards the falling Great Marlin.

Of course, the Flame was merely Visual Effects.

But it looked good, so Onigumo now really liked to accompany his blade swings with the Effect of a Breathing Style.

In fact, it wasn't just him; many Officers in the Three Forces liked to do this.

After all, who wouldn't want their Combat scene to look more magnificent?

As for the small increase in Strength, not many people cared about it, because the Breathing Style was only of significant help to Talent below the Colonel Rank.

However, when Onigumo's Great Swordsman Level Flying Slash Attack collided with the Black Great Marlin's long and pointed Upper Jaw.

It shattered into flame fragments, like fragile Glass.

[Roar————]

The next moment, with a crisp and clean Loud Noise.

The smashing Great Marlin directly knocked the troublesome Onigumo flying, plunging headfirst into the surging Ocean Waves in the distance.

"Vice Admiral!!"

"How is that possible..."

"Hold on tight, the Tsunami is coming!"

Yes.

As the Great Marlin returned to the Great Sea, the terrifying Impact Force stirred up Sea Waves, forming a magnificent huge tsunami.

This brought an unimaginable crisis to the surrounding Warships.

[tatatatata————]

At the same time.

The Air Force Fleet, which had been floating in the air, couldn't hold back.

They sent out twelve Fighter Aircraft to frantically fire bullets from their Autocannons and 'Thunder Spear' rockets at the Sea Surface where the Great Marlin was located.

However, these clearly had no Effect on that Great Marlin.

Instead, just as these Fighter Aircraft finished a round and were preparing to turn around for another Attack, a large amount of water pillars unexpectedly shot up from the Sea Surface.

These water pillars were extremely fast and had extremely strong Impact Force. As long as they were hit, it was enough to make the Fighter Aircraft instantly explode.

In the blink of an eye.

Seven Fighter Aircraft were immediately destroyed, not even giving the Pilots time to eject from the cockpit.

This scene shocked everyone present; that Great Marlin could even Control Seawater!

Indeed.

Although the Ocean-type Danger Beasts in this World were generally not as large as the Sea Kings in the Sea Star World in terms of Body Size, they all had their own Supernatural Ability.

"It's over..."

On the Battleship closest to the approaching Great Tsunami, the faces of all the Marines were filled with Despair and panic.

Such a huge tsunami.

And it was clearly an unnatural tsunami controlled by some kind of Supernatural Power.

Unless another Powerhouse of Great Swordsman Level came, it would be impossible to block it.

"Is this the end of my Fate..."

Giyu Tomioka calmly watched the towering Sea Waves continuously approaching before his eyes.

Yes.

On this Battleship, this 'Water Hashira' from the Demon Slayer World just happened to be present.

But now, it seemed he was about to be buried in the Great Sea of this Imperial Arms World.

"Ice Age————"

At this critical moment, a gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Then, before they could react, a surge of Cold Wind blew.

The next moment.

It really was in the blink of an eye.

That tsunami, nearly a hundred meters tall, along with the surrounding Sea Surface, was completely Frozen into a giant Ice Sculpture.

"Whoosh————"

At some point, Kuzan appeared on the Ship Railing a few meters in front of Giyu Tomioka.

The two words 'Justice' on his White Greatcoat and the swirling Frost White Cold Air, inexplicably brought a strong sense of Safety to all the Marines on the Deck.

"Admiral Aokiji!"

"Ahhhh, it's Admiral Aokiji————"

"Great, we're saved!"

The entire Marine force, having come back to their senses, was extremely Excited, and some even had eyes filled with tears due to lingering fear.

"Arararara, looks like I arrived just in time. But it seems I don't have time to appreciate Mihawk's Duel. What a pity~"

Kuzan calmly looked at the giant Black Marlin in the distance, which had blocked his 'Ice Age' using some kind of Supernatural Power, ensuring the nearby Seawater wasn't Frozen.

"A Super Dangerous Beast, huh..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 630: Fish-Man Tribe, Prepare for Battle!

Heimalin.

One of the six Super Dangerous Beasts discovered in the Imperial Arms World, and one of the four Super Dangerous Beasts still alive.

It looks like a giant marlin, completely black and a hundred meters long. 'Marlin' is actually the synonym for Marlin in this world.

At the same time,

It is also the provider of the Biological Material for the Imperial Arm 'Water Dragon Manifestation'.

Its current Imperial Arms User is Wave, the Imperial Navy Vice Admiral who was brought back to the Star Gate Base by Aokiji along with Esdeath when she was captured Alive.

Therefore, this giant Great Marlin itself possesses extremely powerful Water Control Power.

Coupled with its unparalleled Swimming Speed in Water and its incredibly tough, sharp, and long Upper Jaw, its individual strength is no less than that of the previous Nine-Tailed White Fox, Hong Lian.

If the Combat were on the Sea, it might even be slightly stronger.

At the same time,

The Intelligence of these Super Dangerous Beasts is no less than that of intelligent Humans, absolutely incomparable to Danger Beasts that act purely on instinct.

However, Aokiji was more concerned at this moment with the peculiar Energy they possessed.

Before coming,

Sakazuki had already informed Aokiji and the Three Military Admirals who had arrived here about Hong Lian possessing Haki-like Energy.

Cipher Pol also immediately questioned Meilard, who had already joined them.

After all, she was the Commander of the former Empire's 'Oarberg' Assassination Unit and certainly had a far greater understanding of Danger Beasts than most people in the Imperial Arms World.

However, this Danger Women, Charm to her very core, actually made a request to see Esdeath.

Yes.

Not a Requirement, but a request, because after making this request, she immediately revealed the information she knew, stating that she had no intention of threatening the World Government.

Honestly, she was very smart. This Women was truly very smart and handled the scale very well.

Cipher Pol Headquarters even asked the Five Elders for her, inquiring if Esdeath's current Situation could be revealed to Meilard.

The Five Elders could only pass this question to Lord Imu.

And Im indifferently told Esdeath about the Matter, asking if she wanted Meilard to know or to find Time to meet?

Esdeath's answer was that it could be revealed, but she didn't want to meet temporarily. At the same time, she ordered someone to deliver a message to Meilard.

She told her to live peacefully in Cipher Pol. As long as she didn't die, the two would meet again sooner or later, but she hoped that by then, Meilard would have become stronger.

And the World Government, through Meilard's revelation, also learned that according to the Empire's Research records from six hundred years ago,

The fundamental Gap between Super Dangerous Beasts and Special-Grade Danger Beasts lies in the fact that the latter can only stimulate their own Bloodline and Stamina, while the former can absorb Energy from Nature.

This results in Super Dangerous Beasts possessing Energy far exceeding Special-Grade Danger Beasts, and also allows them to unleash Techniques with extraordinary Power.

Natural Energy!

This was the second type of Otherworld Special Energy the World Government had encountered, following the Kabaneri World's 'Fear Mental Energy'.

Previously, even the Strongest Kabaneri in their 'Nue' Form didn't seem to have a particularly high Strength Upper Limit, so it hadn't received much Importance.

But this Time, it was different.

These Super Dangerous Beasts clearly all possessed Combat Power capable of matching Admirals.

[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]

Just then, the Great Black Marlin, called Heimalin, once again controlled the surrounding Seawater to launch a fierce Offensive against Aokiji and the surrounding Warships.

First, Whirlpools appeared on the Sea Surface one after another, followed by Spiral Water Pillars that rotated at high speed and carried a faint Black Mist, shooting up into the High Altitude, then arcing down in perfect curves.

Their number reached over a hundred!

At the same time,

Heimalin's Main Body plunged into the Deep Sea and disappeared.

"Arararara, looks like we're going to have a big fight~~"

Frost spread from Kuzan's neck to his Cheek.

Although his tone still sounded gentle, if Tsuru were present, she would know that he was getting Serious.

"Ice Shield"

He drew his Right Hand from his clean Pocket. When the Spiral Water Pillars were still a hundred meters from the Ground, an incredibly fast Blue Light bloomed at his fingertips.

The next moment,

Even Giyu Tomioka, standing behind Kuzan, felt a flash before his eyes and saw all the Water Pillars in the air.

They had completely turned into Ice Pillars suspended there, emitting wisps of Cold Air.

"So strong!"

Giyu Tomioka, whose Personality was always steady and quiet, subconsciously swallowed.

"Areh?"

Kuzan, who was constantly exhaling Cold Air, let out a surprised sound.

Immediately after, everyone saw that cobweb-like Cracks had appeared on the surface of the Ice Pillars with cracking sounds.

This Process was very short, but it was enough to attract everyone's attention.

The next second,

With bursting sounds, the Frost on the surface of the Spiral Water Pillars shattered one after another.

Although their Volume had shrunk a size, and their rotation Speed had slowed down considerably,

They could still fall towards the World Government's Fleet.

Incredible!

Marine Admiral Aokiji actually didn't freeze these high-speed rotating Water Flows!

"Is it the Tremors caused by rotation, or the effect of that Black Mist?"

Kuzan was also pondering this scene, then acted again, releasing even more powerful Cold Air.

Swish.

In the blink of an eye, he froze the Spiral Water Pillars that were about to land again.

This Time, they were no longer able to shatter the Frost and fell like large chunks of Hail, finally colliding with the similarly Frozen Sea Surface and shattering into scattered Ice Cubes.

"Hoo—"

Kuzan exhaled Cold Air that could freeze a person stiff and said softly, "Looks like it's related to both..."

"Not good!"

Suddenly,

The hair on the bodies of Giyu Tomioka and all the Marines stood on end. A strong Sense of Danger rushed straight to their hearts.

And some Officers who possessed Observation Haki quickly noticed a terrifying Aura rapidly approaching from the Seabed below the Warships.

It turned out that Kuzan had only frozen the Great Sea in front of the Warships earlier.

So Heimalin went around the part frozen by Kuzan from the deeper Seabed.

And launched a fierce charge from underwater towards Kuzan's location.

Imagine,

Below the Deep Sea, a hundred-meter-long Colossus, moving at a Speed approaching the speed of sound, attacking the Steel Ship Bottom of a Battleship like a giant Torpedo.

Not only that,

Kuzan and others' Observation Haki also discovered that besides Heimalin, there were hundreds of Auras of varying strengths, rapidly approaching their respective Warships from below.

This caused Onigumo, who had just returned from the Sea, suffered some injuries, and appeared somewhat disheveled, to hurriedly issue the Order to be vigilant underwater.

At the same time, he issued the Requirement for the Fish-Man Unit to immediately go underwater and intercept, and to absolutely protect the Ship Bottom of the Warships.

"Yes!"

Hearing the Order, Fisher Tiger didn't say a word and led Aladdin and the rest of the Fish-Man Tribe Marines, jumping into the Sea from the Deck one after another.

Although Tiger was also a Marine Vice Admiral, at this moment he had to obey the Order of Onigumo, the Fleet Commander.

These Fish-Man Tribe Warriors wearing Navy Uniforms showed extraordinary Swimming Speed as soon as they entered the Sea. It wasn't long before they saw streaks of Black Shadows rushing up from further below.

"All Marlins?!"

Aladdin shouted in surprise, gripping his Long Saber.

Yes.

They saw various Marlin species Danger Beasts, long and short, and of different colors, rushing over with their sharp and long Upper Jaws pointed forward.

"Marlins seem to live in groups..."

Tiger said faintly, then roared angrily at his fellow tribesmen and Subordinates around him, "Fish-Man Tribe, Prepare for Battle!"

"Yes!"

Nearly five hundred Fish-Man Tribe Warriors replied in unison.

"Kill!"

"Defeat them!!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 631: Kuzan is Angry!

"Charge!"

"Let these Fish from the Otherworld witness the terror of the Sea Star Fishman Tribe!"

"Defeat them!"

Tiger, Aladdin, Tans, Willy, Chahkon, Rone—these Fish-men who belonged to the Sun Pirates in the 'Canon'.

At this moment, however, they were fighting under the Flag of the World Government for the Interests of the Sea Star Mainland.

As they moved.

Because their Speed was too great, their bodies were wrapped in a layer of rapidly flowing white Water Flow behind them, like a strange Meteor shower appearing in the sea.

Instantly, they were fiercely fighting with nearly a thousand large and small Marlin-type Danger Beasts.

Instantly.

Just like two opposing Cavalry Units charging at each other, as soon as they made contact, Casualties appeared in the first ranks on both sides.

Large amounts of crimson Blood began to spread, dyeing large areas of the Seawater red.

It must be said that these Dangerous Beast Marlins, even if not special grade, were at least grade one, and indeed possessed a unique and powerful Advantage in charging.

As long as someone from the Fish-Man Tribe dared to clash head-on.

Even if they used Fish-Man Karate, they would still suffer the cruel fate of having their Body pierced.

However, some clever Fish-man Warriors, using Fish-Man Judo movements, controlled the gentle Water Flow.

First, they avoided the Marlin's direct thrust, then quickly struck its belly from the side.

Under the powerful Wrist Strength and Fist Force of the Fish-Man Tribe, Marlin after Marlin was broken in half.

Just like this.

In less than half a minute of contact, nearly a hundred Corpses had already appeared, with heavy casualties, pushing the Battle Situation directly to a tragic level.

However, Tiger, Aladdin, and the others were completely unconcerned.

Instead, they focused completely on intercepting the attacks of one Dangerous Beast Marlin after another.

They noticed that these Marlins could more or less control a certain amount of Water Flow, and their Power was no less than the Fishman Martial Arts they themselves had mastered.

Some Marlins would spin the Water Flow around to protect their Body.

While some Marlins would concentrate the Water Flow on their Upper Jaw, greatly increasing their attack power.

Still other Marlins would spit Water Guns, and could even create things like Water Manifestations.

It was almost like encountering a group of Water-type Devil Fruit Users.

Fortunately, their Fish-Man Unit, ever since joining Marine Headquarters.

Had also been granted the Strength of Breathing Style, Swordsmanship, Six Powers, and even Haki.

Under their Uniforms, they also wore the 'Kabane Combat Suit' that Dr. Shouei was responsible for developing.

So although their numbers were nearly half that of the Marlins, the Battle Situation did not fall into much of a Disadvantage.

On the contrary, because of the presence of an Expert of Vice Admiral Rank like Tiger, they managed to forcefully block most of the attacks.

Only three of their own Battleships had their Ship Bottoms pierced by stragglers.

At the same time.

While the fierce battle below the sea was exceptionally tragic, Kuzan on the Sea Surface also made his move again.

He landed directly on the Sea Surface that had been instantly frozen, then extended his hand into the water.

"Ice Age!"

The Strength of Ice Age, under his Control, all surged below the Sea Surface of the Warships.

In an instant, the surging Cold Air froze all the Seawater along the way.

It pushed forward mightily at an extremely fast Speed, towards the rapidly approaching Heimalin.

If there was a third-person Viewpoint below, one could see layers of stacked Ice.

It was like an Avalanche below the sea pushing mightily towards the deeper Direction.

"More Ice, This King hates Foxes, and hates Ice even more!"

Heimalin roared and bellowed in the water, more Black Mist surging from its Body.

Bearing its incredibly Tough and Sharp Upper Jaw, it fiercely crashed into the giant 'Iceberg' pressing down from above.

[Rumble!]

As the deafening Loud Noise burst forth, it was like it had become a black Claymore, splitting the thick Ice along its path in two.

Wherever it went, it was as if all the Ice was actively making way for it, showing no sign of obstruction.

Clearly, frozen Ice alone couldn't stop it.

[Boom!!]

The Steel Battleship next to Aokiji, over two hundred meters long, was easily pierced by a thick, long, jet-black 'Long Spike', and then soared into the sky with the giant Marlin that surged upwards.

Some Marine Officers with higher Strength on the Warship.

Such as Giyu Tomioka and others, used Shave and Moonwalk to fly off the Deck and escape death.

However, most of the lower-ranking Marine Soldiers were clearly doomed.

This made Kuzan's Gaze instantly turn cold: "You've gone a bit too far, Great Monster Fish."

[Swish!]

He instantly turned into an Afterimage and leaped up, in the blink of an eye jumping to a Height almost level with Heimalin in the Mid-air, facing the side of the latter's large fish eye that glanced over.

At this moment, Kuzan actually saw that its eyes were full of mockery.

Then, right in front of him, it completely blew apart the Battleship impaled on its Upper Jaw using High-Pressure Water that appeared out of nowhere.

In this way, the hundreds of Marine Soldiers inside the Warship were completely cut off from any chance of survival.

Kuzan roared. "Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"

At the same time, he raised his right arm, which was emitting wisps of Cold Air, and released a large Ice Bird flapping its Ice Wings, which blasted onto Heimalin's Body.

Ultra-Low Temperature Frost instantly erupted. The Black Mist swirling around Heimalin's Body.

Although it provided an effect of erosion and Defense, it was still broken through by the fierce Cold Air.

In the blink of an eye.

On the massive, jet-black fish Body, large amounts of Ice began to spread, bringing a clear Pain Sensation to Heimalin.

"Impudent!"

Heimalin was filled with great Anger, and surging Black Water gushed out from all around its Body out of nowhere.

Then it began to spin rapidly around its Body, frantically washing away the Ice on its Body Surface.

One could see that the Ice, under the continuous washing of the Black Water, actually showed signs of being eroded at a Speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye.

All the Ice vanished completely. The entire process didn't even take three seconds.

"Human from the Otherworld, This King grants you death!"

Following the Roar of Anger, all the Black Water gathered into a torrent and rushed towards Kuzan in the Mid-air.

Seeing this, Kuzan also showed no weakness, fully activating the Strength of the Ice-Ice Fruit within his Body.

"Ara la la, this is a bit irritating."

[Swish——————]

The surging Cold Air crashed heavily like a tide against the torrent formed by the Black Water.

[Boom!!]

The Cold Air tried to freeze the Black Water, but the Black Water was also eroding the Frost that formed.

Neither side gave way at all, clashing head-on. The sky above the East Blue was almost divided into two Zones, white and black.

But just as Heimalin, unable to fly, was falling towards the Sea Surface due to Planetary Gravity.

Kuzan appeared on its other side at some unknown moment.

Looking at his previous Position, there was actually a lifelike Ice Clone releasing Cold Air on his behalf to counter the surging Black Water torrent.

This made Heimalin, who perceived his Aura, instantly feel that something was wrong. Its massive fish eyes suddenly narrowed into slits.

"Not good!"

It hadn't expected Kuzan to have such fast Speed even in Mid-air, and how could he, a Human, even fly?

Why?!

But Kuzan didn't care about Heimalin's thoughts.

One could see that in his hand, he had already gripped an Ice Blade formed from Ice.

However, the surface of this Ice Blade was jet-black, shimmering with a dark Cold Light under the Sunlight.

"Ice Blade!"

Following the cold voice, Kuzan's eyes suddenly erupted with intense Killing Intent.

The sharp Blade in his hand, wrapped in cold Cold Air, turned into a powerful Blade Light and heavily struck Heimalin's fish Body.

[Thud————]

Although the latter's Body was protected by wisps of Black Mist and Tough Fish Scales.

However, these were unable to block the Ice Blade's Slash, and were easily cut open in the blink of an eye.

Instantly.

Large amounts of scalding Hot Blood gushed out, only to be instantly Frozen by the Cold Air emanating from Kuzan.

"Ahhhhh!"

Heimalin's Scream echoed through the sky and spread throughout the entire East Sea Battlefield.

Even Mihawk and Yejian Tsukahara, who were dueling on a distant Small Island, were startled.

Kuzan stepped onto the back of the newly generated 'Ice Age', watched the Great Marlin fall into the Ocean like a Meteorite, raised the Ice Blade in his hand, and said indifferently.

"It's not like that guy on the island is the only one who knows Swordsmanship..."

(End of Chapter)

## Chapter 632: A Sudden Lightning Storm!

Kuzan didn't really use Ice Blades much.

Although he was a Sword Master, he wasn't very interested in Swordsmanship, which was quite similar to Sakazuki in this regard.

Both of them gave up on Swordsmanship Cultivation after eating a Devil Fruit.

Borsalino, on the other hand.

Even after eating the Glint-Glint Fruit, he would still set aside a little Time each day to swing his Light Sword a few times, and thus naturally became a Great Swordsman.

The reason Kuzan chose to attack Heimalin with an Ice Blade this time was because he sensed that the Black Mist and Scales/Armor on the latter had extraordinary Defense.

So, in order to Break Defense more easily, he thought of using a Sword Master's Slash combined with Armament Haki Hardening and Internal Destruction.

As expected.

With one Slash, he successfully drew blood!

"Ara la, the Wound seems a bit small..."

Kuzan saw that although the Great Marlin that had fallen into the Great Sea was crying out in pain repeatedly.

It still looked full of life, and he knew that his attack hadn't caused much damage.

Clearly, a Slash at the Sword Master Rank could only break through its surface Defense; it was somewhat insufficient for penetrating deeper.

"How dare you injure This King, you deserve ten thousand Deaths!!"

Heimalin felt the pain it hadn't felt for nearly a thousand Years, and the Anger in its Heart erupted uncontrollably.

At the same Time.

The entire East Blue seemed to be responding to its Rage, beginning to boil in large areas.

At the same Time, a large amount of Black Mist spread from its Body, dyeing every Wave a dark black color.

[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]

Like Mines exploding underwater, instantly, hundreds, even thousands of Black Water Pillars rose high.

With astonishing Speed exceeding the Speed of Sound, amidst the huge sounds of Sound Bursts, they bombarded the Ice Crystal Great Bird Form in the High Altitude.

The Momentum of this Scene was extremely vast, and the Scene looked incredibly spectacular.

However.

Kuzan's expression was calm in the face of such an incoming Offensive, only the Cold Air on his Body grew denser in silence.

He didn't immediately use his Ability to Resist or counterattack.

Instead, he controlled the 'Ice Age' beneath him to constantly dodge the Black Water Cannons shooting up.

Yes, in Kuzan's opinion, the Power of these Water Pillars far exceeded that of Heavy Howitzers, and calling them Water Cannons was perfectly fine.

However, no Matter how great the Power, if they couldn't hit, they wouldn't cause any damage.

Under the Effect of his Advanced Observation Haki at the 'Future Sight' Rank.

The 'Ice Age' was like a 'White Butterfly' dancing gracefully among black flowers.

It truly achieved what was called 'not a single leaf sticks to the Body'!

"Ahhh, This King is furious, you stinking Bug that can only fly around----"

Heimalin saw that no Matter how many Water Pillars it shot up.

It just couldn't hit Kuzan, and it couldn't fly itself.

It was absolutely enraged, yet helpless.

As for the idea of jumping up again, there was none.

Because it also noticed that Kuzan's Cold Air was much more dangerous than Frozen Ice, completely sufficient to counteract its 'Divine Power'.

Yes.

It called the 'Black Mist', which was Bloodline Power fused with Natural Energy, 'Divine Power'.

However, other Super Dangerous Beasts had their own terms.

For example, the Divine Dragon residing in the Cloud Layer of the Shenhe Island Nation.

It liked to call this Energy 'Immortal Power', while The Empire and the Alchemy Kingdom recorded it as 'Magic Power'.

They were actually the same thing.

Kuzan clearly had no interest in wasting words with it.

While letting the 'Ice Age' beneath him fly rapidly, he raised his Right Hand covered in ice formations towards the giant Marlin in the Sea below, pointing his palm at it.

In the next moment.

He saw Ice Spears with Trident structures condensing one after another in the Mid-air around him.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Ice Spears densely covered the Sky above.

And that wasn't all.

He saw the tip of each Ice Spear quickly dyed with a black sheen.

He had Hardened a layer of Armament Haki on them again!

"Ice Spear!"

With a loud shout from Kuzan.

In an instant, all the Ice Spears turned into Afterimages, shooting towards Heimalin like Heavy Rain.

Immediately.

The sharp whistling sounds were incessant.

Heimalin was not to be outdone, once again controlling the surrounding Seawater to create Black Water Cannons to meet the attack head-on.

At this moment, Kuzan suddenly leaped out from the back of the 'Ice Age' at High Speed.

He created two long Ice Pillars in the High Altitude, connecting to the Great Sea.

"Ice Age!"

Yes, he used 'Ice Age' again this time.

Previously, in order not to affect his own Fleet, he had controlled a certain amount of Strength and range.

But now he wanted to Freeze the entire Great Sea in this Zone.

Because Kuzan realized that if he didn't use his Full Power, it would be difficult to Take down the Super Dangerous Beast before him.

[Crack... Crack]

As the surging Cold Air erupted in the Water under the impetus of the Ice-Ice Fruit.

It instantly Frozen into a thick Ice Layer almost in the blink of an eye.

The Wave that was surging the previous second turned into a lifelike Ice Sculpture the next second.

This also caused the World Government's Fleet to be firmly fixed in place.

But the most miserable were the Marlin-type Dangerous Species and the Navy Fishman Unit who were fighting fiercely in the Water.

The former were instantly Frozen along with the surrounding Water.

As for the latter, although they weren't tragically Frozen thanks to Kuzan's Perception with Observation Haki and his superb micro-Control of Cold Air.

However, because the Seawater had turned into Ice, they had to endure the cold Low Temperature.

They had to smash through the Ice Layer above their heads layer by layer to get out, otherwise, their fate would be either being Frozen to Death or Buried Alive.

Fortunately, the Marines above were constantly breaking the Ice Layer in various ways to rescue them.

At the same Time, they used Tremors to guide the Fish-men in the Direction.

Kuzan, however, could no longer attend to these Matters.

He had completely entered Combat with Heimalin, even adopting a Combat Form similar to Sakazuki's earlier.

While using Element Transformation, he released a large amount of Cold Air, turning into an Ice Crystal Giant Bird Form that was fifty meters tall.

Its Beak and Bird Claws were even coated with a layer of dark Armament Haki.

Every Time it grabbed Heimalin's even larger Fish Body.

It could easily break through the Black Mist attempting to corrode it and the Toughness of the Fish Scales, causing it to let out painful cries.

The Scene looked like a Divine Bird from Myth preying on a Marlin-type Primordial Savage Beast.

Surging Black Water formed terrifying Tornadoes, wildly intertwining with the biting Blizzard, creating the most magnificent Combat Special Effects.

"Ahhh, damn it, damn it, why is This King's Body being injured so easily!"

Heimalin was truly both angry and filled with Doubt. Logically, its Defense shouldn't be so fragile.

Yet, this Human's attacks could penetrate deep into its Flesh and Blood every Time.

This was actually the Effect of Kuzan using the Armament Haki Internal Destruction Technique.

One must say.

Im's previous Order to make all Haki Techniques public to the Military's Higher-ups indeed had a very good Effect.

Especially the 'Internal Destruction' Technique, which could often ignore and Penetrate the Opponent's Defensive Armor!

However, Heimalin's Strength was also sufficient.

Whether it was its Black Water, which was extremely Corrosive and could injure the Main Body of Element Transformation.

Or its incredibly sharp Marlin Upper Jaw, which was difficult for even Armament Haki to resist, they were all causing various injuries to Kuzan's Manifestation, the Ice Bird.

However, Kuzan would rely on the powerful Ability of 'Future Sight'.

He would separate the Ice parts that were about to be attacked in advance, causing the Marlin Upper Jaw wrapped in Black Mist to repeatedly miss.

This allowed him to gradually gain the Upper Hand in the close Combat with Heimalin, and the latter's painful cries became more frequent...

[Crack!]

Suddenly, a thick, silver-white Lightning bolt, from the Sky that had somehow become covered in Dark Clouds, struck the back of the Ice Crystal Giant Bird Form fiercely, causing its entire Posture to stagger.

"Hmm?"

Kuzan, feeling the pain, raised his Bird Head in surprise to look upwards.

But at this Time.

A large amount of Lightning poured down like Heavy Rain...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 633: Aokiji, Wrath of Heaven and Resentment of the Sea!

This sudden, explosive thunder and rain truly caught Kuzan off guard.

As countless silver-white lightning bolts struck down.

He had to expend a large amount of Armament Haki to create an external Protective Shield around his body to defend against them.

This was because he noticed that these lightning bolts also contained Natural Energy similar to the Black Mist.

If he didn't block them with Armament Haki or dodge them with Observation Haki.

They would also cause actual damage to his Main Body.

"Ararara~ Could it be another Super Dangerous Beast?!"

Kuzan couldn't even bother to take the opportunity to escape from the Heimalin beneath him.

He quickly flapped a pair of huge Ice Wings and flew up.

Then, beneath the dark clouds, he nimbly dodged the lightning bolts striking down.

Because compared to Haki Emission, dodging with Observation Haki was much less strenuous.

"This is troublesome."

Inside the Command Hall of the Otherworld Strategy Committee.

Kong Ming and the others, who had been closely monitoring the East Sea Battlefield, now had extremely serious expressions.

The entire atmosphere became unusually oppressive because of them.

The staff from various departments moved or worked cautiously, almost subconsciously.

"As expected, it's the second Super Dangerous Beast. Admiral Aokiji is in danger!"

At this moment, Kong Ming noticed a White Dragon Tail flash by in the dark clouds on the Large Screen with his sharp gaze.

He quickly waved the Feather Fan in his hand and shouted, "Immediately notify the Command Department! Tell them to quickly dispatch Admiral Kizaru to provide Support!"

"Yes!"

An operator nearby quickly sprang into action after hearing this.

Using the keyboard in front of him to control the corresponding Den Den Mushi, he quickly contacted the Military's Command Department.

Because only the Command Department had the Authority to Mobilize an Admiral.

"The Divine Dragon of Shen He..."

Lieutenant General Kong Ming gripped the handle of his Feather Fan and muttered to himself, while inwardly hoping that Kuzan could hold on until Borsalino arrived.

They had actually considered that this Divine Dragon might make a move.

That's why they requested the Command Department to send Aokiji to the East Sea Battlefield.

They just didn't expect to unexpectedly be attacked by another Super Dangerous Beast, Heimalin.

Not long after.

In the Imperial Arms World, from the Snow Mountain Range in the Northern Empire, a dazzling Golden Light beam shot out.

It traveled eastward at an incredibly fast Speed.

"That guy Kuzan is in trouble..."

Sakazuki, wearing a black Coat and red Suit, stood inside the Base.

He looked with a cold expression at Borsalino's receding figure, a Flash that was becoming increasingly distant, his mood seemingly heavy.

As someone who had just fought against a Super Dangerous Beast.

He could imagine how difficult a Situation the combined Strength of two Super Dangerous Beasts would be.

Although he had seemingly easily defeated Hong Lian before, if another Hong Lian were to appear, the one who would likely retreat in defeat would be himself.

Actually.

Garp, as the Iron Fist Admiral of Marine Headquarters.

Should have immediately gone to the East Sea Battlefield upon arriving in this Imperial Arms World to participate in the Conquest of the Shenhe Island Nation.

However, as soon as he arrived, he received a Mission from the Command Department to pursue the 'Nine-Tailed White Fox' Hong Lian together with Muzan Kibutsuji.

As for Kaido, he hadn't arrived yet.

He heard that he would be officially discharged from Marco's care tomorrow.

East Sea Battlefield.

Kuzan also noticed the White Divine Dragon soaring within the lightning-filled dark clouds.

Its Body Size looked countless times larger than the Ice Bird he had transformed into and the Heimalin below.

It was almost comparable to the 'Great Torch Dragon' Technique Kaido had used during the Summit War against Aramaki!

However, Kuzan didn't care much about the Body Size.

The key was that the Aura emanating from the Divine Dragon was truly too Strong and immense.

It felt comparable to that 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate.

This truly put immense Pressure on Kuzan, who had only recently reached Admiral Level Combat Power.

"Rest assured, This Old Man won't kill you. I just want to invite you here as a guest for a while, Otherworld Deity Powerhouse."

Suddenly.

A voice that sounded somewhat old, steady, and peaceful was transmitted from within the dark clouds. It was clearly the Divine Dragon speaking to Kuzan.

"Arararara, sorry, I'm actually quite busy here. How about we talk about it later?"

The Ice Crystal Giant Bird Form that Kuzan had transformed into continuously flapped its wings.

He replied to the other party in a rather natural tone.

However, the Nervousness he felt was known only to himself.

"This is not something you can refuse."

The Divine Dragon extended its massive Dragon Head from the lightning-flashing Thundercloud, looking at the Great Marlin in the Ocean.

"Heimalin, long time no see, but this Situation is not the time for pleasantries."

"This Otherworld Deity is powerful. We need to join forces to capture him."

At the same time.

Kuzan and the Higher-ups of the World Government's various Departments, who were observing the Situation through the Video Den Den Mushi on the distant Flying Warship.

Finally clearly saw the Divine Dragon's appearance.

It was an Eastern Azure Dragon that differed significantly from Kaido's Azure Dragon Form.

Its main Dragon Body color was greenish-blue, with two sharp, long Dragon Horns on its head.

The biggest difference was its pale, thick Beard, Eyebrows, and the Hair on its back.

If one were to describe it using Art Style.

Kaido was a standard Japanese Manga Style, while this Divine Dragon of Shen He was full of Xianxia Style.

"Then what are we waiting for? This King wants to Torment this Bastard in the most cruel way!!"

Heimalin, seeing the Old Divine Dragon appear, felt as if he had been injected with a powerful stimulant of Excitement.

He completely changed from his previous hysterical state when being beaten by Kuzan and became high-spirited again.

Because the Divine Dragon was the first Super Dangerous Beast in this World to master Natural Energy.

Or rather, the first existence to be called a 'Deity' or 'Immortal Spirit'.

Therefore, its Strength was publicly recognized as the Strongest within their Small Circle.

Legend says that even the First Emperor of the Human Empire from a thousand years ago.

Even with the Supreme Imperial Arm on him, only managed to obtain a tiny bit of Hair by negotiating with the other party.

Unlike how he treated them, which was completely a forceful fight, followed by forcibly taking away a part of their Flesh and Blood.

[Boom boom boom boom----]

The Great Sea, which was originally largely Frozen, turned back into surging Sea Waves under the invasion of the rolling Black Mist.

Under Heimalin's control, they quickly formed three terrifying Black Water Tornadoes, attacking the giant Ice Bird that Kuzan had transformed into.

At the same time.

The Divine Dragon also stopped talking nonsense, manipulating the dark clouds around it, while simultaneously sending down even denser Lightning, and causing the heavy rain to pour down like a Water Curtain.

In an instant.

Kuzan felt as if he had simultaneously enraged the Sky and the Ocean of this realm, bringing down a fierce Judgment from both above and below.

Facing such a violent Offensive of Wrath of Heaven and Resentment of the Sea.

It was already difficult for him to easily escape.

He could only rely on the 'Future Sight' of Observation Haki to dodge the Electric Shock attacks as much as possible by actively using Element Transformation.

However.

Advanced Observation Haki does not mean it has the Effect of 'Absolute Evasion'.

He still needed to use Armament Haki to block the Electric Shock he couldn't dodge.

At the same time, he had to forcefully flap his pair of Ice Crystal Wings to release a massive amount of Cold Air.

To counter the three powerfully attacking Black Water Tornado storms.

And the torrential Heavy Rain, sharp as needles, containing Natural Energy.

In an instant.

Thunderstorm, Frost, Black Water, Gale, and Heavy Rain tossed the entire East Blue upside down, causing towering Waves.

It also put the surrounding World Government Marine Fleet and the Fish-Man Unit that had just broken free from the Ice Layer.

In an unprecedented great crisis.

Onigumo and Tiger, along with a group of Marine Officers, frantically commanded their Subordinates to flee further away.

From time to time, they also had to step in to block the various terrifying Aftermaths of the attacks.

But Kuzan already had no spare Energy to worry about their safety.

He was now struggling to protect himself!
