Suddenly.
A faint voice echoed in the ears of the pirates.
Although no one was visible, the voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Ice Age..."
The voice was cold, filled with endless chill.
Whoosh...!
In an instant, the whole world fell silent.
The entire sea area was instantly frozen, even the sea breeze seemed to solidify in the air.
The weather was still a long way from winter, but at this moment, the whole world was covered in ice and snow, a vast expanse of white.
In an instant, all the pirates were terrified, their ships and themselves frozen in an instant, with no escape.
Huge blocks of ice stretched to the horizon, freezing the pirates' screams in their throats.
The marines stared dumbfounded at the frozen sea in front of them, feeling that everything before them was like a dream, unable to believe that it was really happening.
They knew that only one person could perform such a large-scale freezing ability.
"Great, reinforcements have arrived!"
A marine soldier shouted excitedly.
"The power of the Ice-Ice Fruit... it's Vice Admiral Kuzan!"
Another soldier cheered, unable to believe his eyes.
In this silent world of ice and snow, the marines rekindled the flames of hope.
They knew that the one helping them was the powerful Vice Admiral Kuzan, who had gained a considerable reputation in the Marine Headquarters.
He brought endless cold, instantly reversing the battle and bringing them hope.
Just then, a dazzling light streaked across the sky.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Borsalino's indifferent voice echoed in the air, his figure like a golden flash, instantly appearing above the sky.
Countless beams of light shot out from Borsalino's fingertips, accurately hitting the pirate ships that could not move on the sea surface like shooting stars.
Streams of light pierced through the ships, erupting in dazzling sparks, and the pirates met their end in despair.
The entire battlefield was like a still painting; on the ice-covered sea, the pirate ships lost their threat, and the marines surged with endless confidence and courage amidst the cheers.
The battle situation was instantly reversed, and the strong intervention of Kuzan and Borsalino instantly shattered the pirates' favorable situation.
The frozen sea, the destructive beams, everything was declaring the power of the Navy.
Kuzan and Borsalino stood side by side, their backs appearing incredibly upright and resilient in the cold wind.
On the sea, Kuzan's figure was like the god of ice and snow, overlooking the instantly frozen sea beneath his feet.
His crowd control ability was almost unmatched in the world, and the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit turned the entire sea into a white prison.
The cold air permeated the air, as if even time had been frozen.
"Immobile ships are destined to become prey."
Kuzan said lightly, his voice mixed with icy mist.
Immediately afterward, Borsalino's beams hit the frozen pirates one by one with the precision of a sniper's bullet.
The pirates experienced the entire process from being frozen to being destroyed in an instant, turning into wreckage before they could even cry for help.
"Truly concise and efficient,"
Borsalino said playfully, with a faint smile on his lips.
He turned gracefully in the air, the light on his fingertips still flashing, as if weaving a scene of light and shadow slaughter.
Seeing that Borsalino was finally not slacking off, Kuzan nodded, his cold expression softening slightly.
Although they had only met a few times, he already knew about Borsalino's personality through Jin An's description.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm shy too."
Borsalino teased as always, with that seemingly true and false smile on his lips, his eyes full of playfulness.
Kuzan frowned slightly, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.
Jin An was right, this guy is unreliable...
He still remembered Jin An's casual mention: "Borsalino, this person is very strong, but he always gives people a feeling of unreliability."
Faced with Borsalino's teasing, he shook his head helplessly, but in the end, he just silently accepted the other party's personality.
"Borsalino, the mission is not over yet, don't let your guard down."
He tried to maintain a calm tone, trying to bring the conversation back on track.
Borsalino chuckled, as if he didn't take Kuzan's warning to heart.
"Don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine."
He continued leisurely, his fingertips still drawing light in the air, as if examining his masterpiece.
"Okay, I hope you can maintain this state."
Kuzan responded, his eyes silently watching the frozen sea.
Whirr...
The sound of seawater faintly came.
On the frozen sea, a crack gradually spread, and the ice began to show signs of thawing.
A faint mist filled the cold air, and the ice crystals reflected a glittering light in the sun.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a blazing pillar of fire fell straight from the sky, as if to tear apart the entire frozen sea.
The flames scorched the ice, instantly evaporating a large amount of water vapor, forming rolling smoke.
"It's no fun when the sea is frozen!"
Kaido's massive figure descended from the sky, he seized the gap where Jin An was knocked away, and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the sea.
Kaido's wild laughter was deafening, and he punched the thawing ice heavily, the ice flying everywhere, and a large amount of seawater poured out.
His whole body was burning with raging flames, turning the frozen sea into a sea of fire.
The surrounding temperature rose sharply, and the air was filled with intense heat waves.
Instantly turning the barren frozen world into a fiery hell.
The strength of Kaido's attack directly caused the entire ice surface to shake.
Seeing this, Kuzan's eyes narrowed.
He realized Kaido's powerful destructive power, and these ice layers might not last long.
"Kaido..."
He muttered to himself, a hint of imperceptible solemnity in his eyes.
At the same time, Jin An saw this scene not far away and knew that he had been careless.
"Kaido, you chose to interfere with the battle below?"
He said in a deep voice.
Since the other party first broke the tacit understanding between the two.
Then, he would not sit idly by.
"Since you want to melt the sea, then I'll add some fire."
Jin An sneered, and flames instantly ignited in his hands.
Fists of fire rained down like a storm, densely covering the area where the pirate ships were located.
He quickly waved his fists, and the air was filled with a scorching aura.
Fists of fire rained down like a storm, densely covering the area where the pirate ships were located.
The fists of fire were like fire dragons, quickly drawing hot trajectories in the air and crashing onto the decks of the pirate ships.
The ships were instantly engulfed in a sea of fire, each flame burning the planks and canvas, making a "sizzling" sound.
The pirates struggled desperately, but were suppressed by Jin An's firepower and could not move an inch.
Kaido's eyes widened, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared as he looked at the sea of fire.
He could feel the power of the two flames colliding violently in the air, as if to burn the entire sea to ashes.
