Chapter 218: The Two ‘Vice-Admiral’
"Ice Time!"
A terrifying chill emanated from Kuzan's body, rapidly spreading towards Adrian.
However, in the face of such an attack.
Adrian merely smirked slightly as the intense freezing air penetrated his body once again, failing to have any effect whatsoever, not even slightly hindering his movements.
"Muda muda muda (Useless)!"
"Ice can never freeze a ghost, Kuzan!"
"And to me, you're just a big chunk of ice!"
In the air, the Nidai Kitetsu spun into a magnificent flourish, swiftly and violently slicing Kuzan's semi-elementalized body into countless tiny ice shards, which scattered into the air.
However, in the next moment, the scattered ice shards reformed on the ground not far away, reverting to the figure of the Ice Man, Kuzan.
For a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit ability, the abundant water molecules present everywhere on the ocean serve as the most convenient and easiest evasion method!
By preemptively using the Ice-Ice Fruit ability to manipulate and interfere with the water molecules in the air, turning them into nearly invisible fine ice crystals.
Thus, when the enemy attacks at close range, the user can use the ability again to move and evade, which is Kuzan's most commonly used evasion technique.
However, this does not mean Kuzan can completely dodge Adrian's attacks!
An attack imbued with full-level Armament Haki, possessing three major traits, is not so easily avoided!
At this moment, Kuzan had a deep wound carved by the Nidai Kitetsu on his waist, with blood quickly seeping from the wound and staining his clothes dark red in the blink of an eye.
Kuzan's expression was serious as he tightly stared at White Ghost in front of him, pressing his forefinger and middle finger together and gently touching his waist wound, temporarily freezing it with his ability.
"Everyone has their uses. You have use only when your are strong enough. This is the law of survival on the sea!"
"For devil fruit user, there are no useless devil fruits, only useless users."
The visible white freezing air around Kuzan's body suddenly surged in intensity.
"Ice Age!"
From where Kuzan stood, the freezing air spread outward like a massive wave.
The Ice Age, carrying a powerful chill that could freeze even the air itself, attacked indiscriminately in all directions.
Everything on the ground, from the grass to the cannonballs in the air, was turned into vivid ice sculptures.
Even the fierce flames spreading across Ohara Island were frozen and extinguished by the cold air!
This world-renowned archaeological island seemed to have truly returned to the prehistoric Ice Age!
The terrifying power and vast attack range of the Logia-type ability were displayed vividly at this moment.
"There is indeed a saying, 'There's no useless Devil Fruit, only the useless ability user'..."
Looking at the Ice Age covering the entire Ohara, Adrian's expression remained unchanged.
He sheathed the Nidai Kitetsu and raised his right hand, a brilliant blue light appearing in his palm out of thin air.
"But Kuzan, human abilities have limits!"
The blue light in his palm rapidly expanded, emitting a dazzling light that seemed to completely drive away the surrounding white chill.
"But ghosts, do not!"
A massive blue light beam shot out, crashing towards the Ice Man standing on the distant ground.
Kuzan's pupils slightly contracted as an intense sense of danger kept assaulting him through his Observation Haki.
Without using Armament Haki to shield himself, Kuzan instinctively used his ability to merge himself into the surrounding cold ice crystals.
Boom!
The blue light beam easily shattered the spot where Kuzan had stood, blasting deep into the ground.
The thick ice layers on the surface cracked and collapsed along with the ground below, forming terrifying fissures that revealed the flickering blue light within.
Boom boom——!
A second burst erupted from the depths of Ohara, shooting into the sky, instantly turning the surrounding ground into a circular crater over a hundred meters in diameter.
"The power of this attack... is this the kind of pirate who runs rampant in the New World..."
Kuzan's ice body slowly reappeared on the other side, sweat dripping from his forehead.
The terrifying aftermath of the battle naturally caught the attention of the soldiers on the naval warships on the distant sea.
A soldier on the lookout tower quickly picked up his binoculars to check the situation on Ohara Island and saw Vice Admiral Kuzan battling a man.
The overwhelming blue attack emanated from the enemy.
Seeing this, the navy soldier let out a frantic shout.
"Report! Vice Admiral Kuzan! Is fighting on the island—against White Ghost!!"
The high-pitched, trembling voice reached the ears of the other soldiers on the warship below.
The news was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the hearts of the navy soldiers, causing an uproar.
The news of the astonishing battle between White Ghost and Vice Admiral Comil half a year ago in the waters around Drum Island instantly came to the minds of the navy soldiers.
These soldiers, dispatched from the Navy Headquarters to carry out the Ohara Buster Call, instantly recalled the terrifying pirate known as White Ghost!
Almost the moment the name "White Ghost" was reported, panic spread among the navy soldiers.
"Calm down!"
"Our priority is to execute the bombardment mission!"
A cold, merciless middle-aged voice came.
The speaker wore a white justice coat symbolizing a senior naval officer, a white navy-style cap shading his eyes and the upper half of his face, leaving only a large scar extending from his mouth to his ear on the left side of his cheek.
"Sink that evacuation ship first!"
"If any Ohara scholars have infiltrated the evacuation ship, all the efforts for this operation will be in vain!"
"All potential evil must be eradicated at the root!"
"The justice of the Navy and the World Government must be thoroughly enforced!"
The soldiers in charge of the bombardment saluted.
"Yes, Vice Admiral Sakazuki!"
Massive shells were fired from the naval warships, carrying a destructive momentum, turning the evacuation ship filled with 'Ohara residents' into fragments, the main structure quickly engulfed in raging flames.
Amidst the shouts and curses, faint flashes of white light could occasionally be seen in the orange-red flames.
The bombardment on the distant sea naturally caught the attention of the two fighting on Ohara Island.
"Navy Vice Admiral Kuzan, you're looking over there, aren't you?"
Adrian deliberately put on a cold expression.
"Is this the Navy's justice?"
Kuzan looked at the evacuation ship bombarded by the navy, his previously unwavering gaze trembling slightly, "That bastard…"
And the one Kuzan called a 'bastard', Sakazuki, was stepping on air, rapidly approaching Ohara Island, soon landed at the battle site.
Ignoring the enemy in front of him, Kuzan was the first to question, "Sakazuki! Why did you bombard those innocent residents?!"
"Save those weak words for later, Kuzan."
Sakazuki looked up, his eyes faintly glowing with dark red magma, making the large scar on his cheek appear even more menacing and terrifying.
"White Ghost! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Facing the configuration of two Vice Admirals and guaranteed future Admiral, Adrian spoke, his tone pouring emotion.
"I rarely get angry at things, but you, this mad dog, who the hell do you think you are?"
"Who let you decide who lives and who dies!?"
"Your corrupted justice, your evil justice, I will destroy it."
