Although Red Whale Island is located in the northwest of the Red Earth Continent, it is remote and sparsely populated, but under the influence of the southeast monsoon, it has a very livable climate environment.

The concept of seasons is particularly vague here.

Although it is not "like spring all year round", it is warm and humid all year round, and there are few severe natural disasters.

But now, in the sea a little far away from Red Whale Island, there is an unusual icy breath floating in the air.

"Crunch..."

The towering mast, which was made of special wood and could not be shaken by strong winds and waves, was now strangely covered with a layer of crystal frost.

From time to time, you can see the cracks extending and expanding during the performance, making a heart-shaking cracking sound, as if it will break and fall apart in the next second.

Like an extremely exquisite giant ice sculpture, the pirate ship that carried Mad Dog and others back from the New World was completely frozen on the sea surface under the influence of some powerful force.

On the surface of the deck, which was filled with vague ice fog, several human-looking ice crystal sculptures could be vaguely seen.

There is an expression of shock or despair on the face, and it looks lifelike, as if there is a real person carved here by ice.

If Wolf the Mad Dog were here at this time, he would probably be able to recognize immediately that the appearance of these ice sculptures is exactly the same as the appearance of his crew.

In the center of the deck, shrouded in hazy ice, was a tall and thin figure.

Her loose curly black hair hangs down to her ears, and she wears a green eye patch on her forehead; her hands hang naturally on both sides of her body, with misty frost slowly fading from her fingertips.

His posture was upright, but his eyes seemed a little dull, as if he hadn't woken up, and his whole person showed a sense of laziness.

The light blue suit and vest are exceptionally neat, without a trace of stain; the loose cloak unique to naval officers is worn on the body, and the gorgeous golden epaulettes seem to symbolize his special status.

One of the most powerful naval forces under the World Government, a person with natural frozen fruit abilities, and the current naval admiral——

"Green Pheasant" Kuzan!

That monster-like terrifying strength has made it stand at the top of the combat power pyramid in the pirate world.

To a certain extent, he is the backbone of the navy and the one who builds confidence for the majority of sailors.

For most pirates on the sea, the mere existence of the other party is already a nightmare.

Now, having a head-on encounter with Aokiji, the tragic end of the Mad Dog Pirates can be easily imagined.

Even though he is a pirate who has entered the "New World", his strength is pretty good, and he has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

But in front of the admiral, dealing with them is not much more difficult than dealing with those fledgling pirates.

This is an absolute gap in strength.

Putting his hands in his pockets and glancing at the lifeless human-shaped ice sculpture in front of him, Kuzan had a thoughtful look on his face.

Of course, his trip to the East China Sea was not specifically for this group of weak pirates who couldn't even survive in the new world.

Although he has a laid-back personality, as a naval admiral, his daily schedule is still quite busy.

This time I left the Navy Headquarters mainly to go to the Kingdom of Alabasta to handle some personal matters of my own.

Unexpectedly, it was quite a coincidence that I happened to meet this group of pirates on the road, so I just took care of them.

Speaking of which, he had heard the name "Mad Dog" Wulfer a lot recently.

After all, there are many pirates who can enter the New World every year, but it has been a long time since we have seen one who can return to the Four Seas from the New World.

I don’t know what method the other party used.

It was a pity that Wulf was not on the ship, and the frightened crew members could not ask anything.

If there really is some way of crossing the "windless zones" on both sides of the Grand Line that the navy has not yet mastered and can be widely popularized, then trouble will arise.

God knows what those lawless villains will do.

"We have to capture him and interrogate him carefully."

He stretched out his hand to rub the frown between his eyebrows, filled with frost, and sighed helplessly:

"Oh, I have to work overtime again."

His eyes then looked towards the sea in the distance.

He had already asked the "ice sculptures" behind him about where Ulf was going.

It is said that he went to the 261 branch on Red Whale Island alone.

In Kuzan's view, no matter how remote the location, a naval base is still a naval base, and it is definitely not something that an ordinary pirate can easily challenge.

Unless...there is any special reason.

The domineering energy that had already been developed to the depths was working silently, and an ominous premonition suddenly emerged in Kuzan's heart.

"It seems like we need to hurry up a little bit?"

Swish——

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a slender figure jumped high from the deck and jumped to the sea.

The temperature dropped sharply!

Freeze, solidify.

The turbulent sea water came to a standstill, and the crystal frost spread rapidly.

Almost in an instant, a huge and thick layer of ice condensed under Kuzan.

He casually pulled over the bicycle that had been frozen on the side of the pirate ship in advance, crossed his long legs, and drove towards the Red Whale Island at high speed.

"Dingling bell..."

Mixed with the constant sound of the chain turning, and the sound of the sea water freezing into ice.

The crisp ringing of the car bell echoed over the vast and boundless sea.

…

…

"Bah!"

The sharp blade penetrated deeply into the hard concrete floor, causing sparks to fly and dance due to violent friction.

After re-adjusting his center of gravity in the air and stabbing Xiangquan into the ground, Nuolan stopped the inertia of his body from continuing backwards.

Before he could take the next step, he felt a tingling sensation in his left forearm.

The corner of his eye glanced.

Under the tattered sleeves, there was a long wound with blood flowing uncontrollably.

Looking back, it seems that it was caused by the sharp gravel wrapped in the powerful impact when I dodged the opponent's attack just now.

"It doesn't matter so much."

He shook his head violently. Under the desperate situation, the clear pain made his consciousness become calmer.

With her dark eyes fixed on the strong and fierce figure not far away in front of her, most of the feeling of loss in Nuolan's heart had dissipated.

Instead, there is an extremely strong desire to survive.

【15:27】

【15:26】

【……】

The countdown is still beating.

But Nuolan knew in his heart that with the strong strength displayed by the other party, he would never be able to last for such a long time unless special circumstances occurred.

You know, even the punch just now, I could barely escape by relying on the forcibly extended "over-limit state".

Once the opponent launches an offensive, if you cannot maintain the "over-limit state" for a long time, you will have no choice but to die.

Slowly pulling up the "Xiangquan" from the ground, Nuolan's face was full of determination.

The knife with the highest success rate has been dodged by Ulf.
