Esdeath, who was in free fall at high altitude, didn't even look at the Vaiban flying dragon that had been his loyal mount for four or five years.
With an ugly look on her face, she stretched out her right palm and pointed it at the air beneath her body, activating the Teigu ability called 'Demon God's Appearance·Devil's Essence'.
"I will never lose, because I am the conqueror of everything, no matter who I am against!"
Just when these words came out of Esdeath's mouth.
Layers of ice crystals began to condense out of thin air below, and in a blink of an eye, a giant ice tower hundreds of meters high was formed, firmly connecting her to the top surface of the tower.
"Hu--it's really spectacular, quite good!"
Not far away, Kuzan watched Esdeath build an ice tower two or three meters higher than the cliff at his feet in front of him, and he praised him without hesitation.
Of course Kuzan can do this kind of operation.
It's just because of his relatively low-key personality that he wouldn't normally cause such a big scene.
But that didn't mean that he didn't like watching such a magnificent ice-making show.
How beautiful
"snort!"
Esdeath, who was at the top of the ice tower, saw Kuzan put his hands back into his trouser pockets.
She just felt that the other party did not respect the fight with her, which made her face turn cold.
But one thing to say, she is still very beautiful like this.
As Esdeath raised the long pointed foil sword in her right hand, ice spears began to appear one after another in the air around her, exuding a thick cold air.
They were generated very quickly, covering the entire sky in almost two seconds.
"Feel the pain from this world, strong man from another world!"
next moment.
The ice spears were shot out towards Kuzan's position, accompanied by rapid screams.
"It's a bit boring. Please come to our place and talk about it."
Kuzan's expression was natural and he didn't care at all about Esdeath's undisguised fighting and killing intent.
The whole person suddenly leaped into the air, letting the ice spears continue to penetrate the position where he was standing.
"Ice Ball!"
At the same time, he suddenly stretched out his right palm, which had begun to emit cold air, and five thick and long icicles shot out from the palm.
"Ice barrier!"
Esdeath raised her right foot wearing high heels and stepped hard on the surface of the serac.
In an instant.
Five layers of thick ice walls were stacked in front of her. However, these ice walls did not last even for a second and were completely shattered by the impact of five icicles.
"What?!"
Esdeath was shocked. She did not expect that there would be such a big difference in the quality of the ice cubes between the two sides.
At the critical moment when she was about to be entangled by five icicles and then frozen in a large ice ball, she made a prompt decision and unleashed the Teigu power that had been reserved for three days.
【boom!!!】
The indescribably violent force of the wind and snow erupted like an avalanche with Esdeath as the center.
The five icicles in front of him were like crisp glass shattered into a part of the avalanche.
"Alala la."
Before Kuzan could even say anything, he was completely buried by the avalanche that came like a huge wave.
Then even this isolated island in the East China Sea called the Imperial Navy Headquarters was completely covered by countless winds and snow.
Even more exaggerated.
This super blizzard is still spreading at an incredible speed.
Everywhere it passed, whether it was the sea or the birds in the sky, were instantly frozen.
Eventually its scope encompassed the entire southeastern region of the empire.
This area includes all large and small towns including the prosperous Water and Cloud Capital, as well as the extremely famous Sun and Moon Swamp.
They were all devastated by this sudden snowstorm.
Countless passers-by, ordinary animals, and dangerous species in the wild froze to death on the ground.
If the empire has satellite-like means, it may be possible to clearly see that part of the planet is covered by a thick layer of wind and snow.
As for the imperial capital, what was originally a hot summer in June has now become a winter climate with falling snowflakes!
"call----"
As the center of this big snowstorm, Esdeath didn't care at all that the world in front of her had been turned into a world of ice and snow.
She first put on an 'ice exoskeleton armor' that was more than five meters high, and then used her perceptive ability to quickly find where Kuzan was buried.
She originally wanted to use this move against the World Government's army.
But I didn't expect that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes and was used on just one person.
Although the other party was also a naval admiral, she still felt that it was a bit luxurious.
But if you can really deal with the opponent in one go, you can just spend another three days preparing.
"Pleasure me with your death!"
"Admiral of the World Government!"
Esdeath, who was in the 'Ice Exoskeleton Armor', raised the 'Ice Sword' in his hand, pointed it at the snowdrift where Kuzan was, and stabbed it mercilessly.
Observe carefully, you will see that there is an invisible layer of armed domineering wrapped around the edge of the sword!
Because she knew very well that without the attachment of Haki, her attack would not be able to kill a natural Devil Fruit user with elemental abilities!
This common sense that originally belonged to the inside of Starfish has begun to be known to people in this 'Teigu World'
【Duang!】
Suddenly, the next second when the 'Ice Sword' sank into the snowdrift.
First there was a sound like a metal collision.
Immediately afterwards, powerful energy appeared and pushed away the snow and wind.
Kuzan was revealed to be grabbing the 'ice sword' with a dark palm.
"How can it be!"
Esdeath was completely confused, feeling the situation where the sword could neither advance nor retreat, and couldn't understand why the opponent could be so strong?
Also, don’t you also use your domineering spirit?
"Alala, it's so strange. Why do you know how to use domineering?"
Kuzan curiously looked at the 'ice sword' in front of him.
Judging from his armed aura, he is probably at the level of a lieutenant colonel to a colonel in the headquarters.
It can't be said to be very strong, but it can't be said to be very weak either. Of course, compared with him, it is pitifully weak.
However, he keenly noticed that this was very important information.
The Empire is gaining control of the power of Haki.
"Looks like I need to take you back as soon as possible."
Kuzan's eyes suddenly became serious.
First, he used his right palm to completely crush the 'Ice Sword', and then slammed it on the surface of the 'Ice Exoskeleton Armor'.
【boom!】
This large ice armor exploded instantly under the gaze of Esdeath's shocked and trembling pupils, turning into a large number of ice crystal fragments and sputtering out in all directions.
The next second.
Esdeath bit the tip of her tongue to calm herself down.
At the same time, he turned into an afterimage and dodged backwards with a kick of his feet.
"The game is over, Ms. Esdeath."
But at this moment, Kuzan's voice sounded from behind her.
The 'Kuzan' in front is quickly fading and turning into a lifelike ice sculpture.
At the same time, she could feel a cold hand approaching her back.
As a strong person in the ice system, she is naturally familiar with this technique, because she often freezes enemies with her palms.
Subconsciously, he is warning Esdeath not to be touched, otherwise it will be completely over!
"Frozen before my eyes, Mokobotemo!"
【Buzz————————】
In an instant, the ultimate white light bloomed from between Esdeath's hands, quickly expanding into a circular aura encompassing nearly two kilometers in radius.
In an instant, everything inside fell into absolute stagnation and solidification.
Except for herself!
"I am eternal, and I will always be the final winner, no matter what stands in front of me!"
Esdeath slowly turned around and raised her chin slightly.
With elegant and arrogant eyes, he glanced at the broad palm less than three centimeters in front of him and looked at Kuzan behind him.
Eh?
Why has this man's skin turned completely black?
However, the duration of Mokobotemo was very short and did not allow her to think too much about this.
But just when she was about to pierce the latter's forehead with the foil wrapped with armed domineering energy, she was horrified to see Kuzan blinking at her.
Immediately afterwards, he first grasped the sharp tip of the sword with his left hand, and then patted her shoulder with his right hand naturally!
"How can it be"
When the effectiveness of 'Mokobotemo' expired and the blizzard started blowing again, Esdeath had been completely frozen with a look of surprise on his face.
"Alalalala, how do you explain this?"
Kuzan looked at Esdeath, who was motionless in the ice ball, and touched the back of his head, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Probably he had read all the information about Esdeath before he came here.
Of course it also includes her abilities and these moves.
Also, he has mastered the advanced ability of seeing and hearing Haki to 'foresee the future'.
So even without this information, it is actually impossible to fall into the trap.
And now that we have the information, it can only be used to 'see' when she will use 'Mokobotemo'.
Finally, there is the difference in armament, color and domineering.
His armed domineering force is enough to isolate the special abilities of 'Mokobotemo' from the outside.
So you can still move freely in that completely 'frozen' space.
In the same way, even if Esdeath's foil sword stabbed him, it would be easily blocked by the armed domineering force.
so.
Kuzan wanted to explain all of this to Esdeath, which was indeed quite troublesome.
After a while.
Kuzan took Esdeath and Leva with him, as well as the 'Wind Blade Sword' of General Yan Xin.
Slowly leaving this island that was completely shrouded in wind and snow...
