Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 31 Open up

"Water Breathing, Second Form - Waterwheel!"

"..."

Kuzan's face was cold, and his deep eyes emitted a piercing cold light. He did not stop just because his goal had been achieved, nor did he do it to retaliate against this guy's previous nonsense. As an admiral of the navy, he was not so... petty.

I just want to see this guy's true strength.

He looked at Xia Che, who did a somersault in front of him and instantly blocked all the ice spears with the circular slash of the long sword in his hand. Even he, a navy admiral, had to admit that he was worthy of being the talented navy trainee who was recognized by teacher Zefa and graduated after only two and a half years of training.

This talented navy officer, who disappeared without a trace after being demoted and never appeared in the navy headquarters again, did not become corrupted or lose his talent as those guys said. Instead, he hid in this weakest sea and deceived everyone.

And this boy's swordsmanship... is as gentle as water, as continuous as water...

Great strength, fast speed, and still amazing explosive power!
It was as if he was really facing a constantly flowing, ever-changing stream of water. Even though there was no water in front of him and the sea was frozen by him, when facing the sword energy slashed out by this kid, Kuzan felt as if he was in a real river.

And the domineering power he displayed...After being demoted to the East China Sea, did this kid also master the domineering power through his own exploration?
Have to admit...

Everyone underestimated him.

As an admiral of the navy, he had seen many swordsmen who could destroy everything violently, were as hot as fire, and could cut through everything with great sharpness.

I've even seen top swordsmen use their sword energy to split the sea and the sky in half, but I've never seen such gentle yet ever-changing sword energy.

Could it be that this guy who was planning to invite him to Red Romance was actually a gentle guy?
Is this a joke to him?
At this time.

Just as Kuzan was thinking silently.

"Water Breathing, Third Form - Flowing Dance!"

Xia Che's body suddenly moved at a high speed like a stream of water. Due to his rapid movement, only a few afterimages were left wherever he passed, and he launched an attack towards Kuzan.

Although he is an admiral of the navy and a user of the natural ice fruit, he is not afraid.

No matter what kind of water it is, even the unfathomable sea, it will be frozen by him.

But facing the boy's swordsmanship, he put away his original contempt.

With so many people watching, you'd better not get into any trouble.

Will he, Admiral Aokiji, still need to survive then?
Looking at this strange, smooth and fluent technique, which was different from the high-speed movement of the Navy's Six-style Shave and changed like a stream of water, Kuzan's face showed a look of surprise, and a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes, but then he exhaled a breath of cold air from his mouth, and suddenly held an ice knife in his hand, and slashed quickly to the left, directly blocking Xia Che's attack.

While Bing Dao and the Sandai Kitetsu are fighting...

"Freeze moment!"

He quickly released the cold air, instantly freezing Xia Che who appeared beside him.

"Are you still going to protect this criminal?" Kuzan stood in front of Shache, his voice cold and ruthless, "Dander Shache, although your strength is beyond my expectations, it is not enough to stop me with it!"

There was a chilling coldness in his deep eyes as he stared straight at Xia Che in front of him.

"It's not too late for you to turn back now. Give up! Dande Shache, you are no match for me."

He exuded a terrifying aura, domineering and cold, as if he was ready to destroy anything that stood in his way.

This may be the true face of the Navy Admiral!
"As long as you let me go, I can make you a promise and let the Navy Headquarters pardon all your illegal acts and even conceal everything here for you."

however.

The words fell.

Faced with Kuzan's temptation, Xia Che was not moved at all.

This guy is an actor!

Maybe he is playing him!
Although it is not clear why this guy doesn’t stop now that it has come to this?

But Xia Che did not dare to be careless and simply ignored the temptation that Kuzan mentioned.

Over the years, he has been learning and studying water breathing. He has long been able to keep his mind free of distractions, remain calm and steady, and ignore the temptations and harassment of others.

He shook his whole body, and used his domineering aura to shatter the ice that was freezing his feet and the lower half of his body. There was still no tension on his face, but he sighed helplessly, "Can't it really end like this?"

Although freezing can affect the normal functions of the human body and is very lethal to ordinary people, he has already prepared to deal with Kuzan's appearance.

Especially with the water breathing and special sea training, the body has already become strong enough to resist the freezing.

And Kuzan obviously hasn't used his true strength yet!
just.

Now it seems that it will not work unless I fight hard and show myself.

Xia Che also showed a serious expression on his face. He leaned forward slightly, holding his long sword in his right hand, and once again made the opening move of the Water Breathing Sword Technique. He said expressionlessly, "To be honest, it's really a bit cold! And it's almost dawn, I still hope to end it soon."

Before inviting Robin on board, he had already prepared himself mentally for Kuzan's arrival.

He also knew that it was not so easy to defeat the admiral of the navy with water breathing alone, but don't forget... this is a world belonging to the sea, with the power of the sea.

As a genius navy captain, he knows more than just water breathing. At this moment.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the battlefield between the two people with a nervous look...

The fierce and overbearing ice froze everything, as if it wanted to plunge everything into the Ice Age, but there was a weak river that was not frozen by the biting cold and rushed towards the terrible ice world.

It keeps flowing, yet stubbornly resists the cold and is not frozen!

But at this moment...

Everyone knew that facing the overbearing and sharp ice, facing the naval admiral who was like a monster that could change the sea and the air currents, Xia Che seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Robin clenched her fists tightly and looked up at the figure who had stopped holding the hilt of the knife. Her eyes did not relax for a moment and she just stared at him closely.

My mind couldn't help but recall the time when the two of them met.

A demoted navy officer, looking at the sea in confusion, invited her, the son of the devil wanted by the World Government, to go to the East China Sea together.

At that time, she actually thought that this guy had ulterior motives.

But so many years have passed without her noticing, and this guy has kept his promise at that time, giving her shelter and a peaceful and stable life until today...

When she was in danger, just like the giant she met in O'Hara, he stood in front of her, did not give up the promise he made to invite her, and still protected her in the face of terrible enemies.

But...did she do something wrong again?

"Robin~"

Noticing the regret and self-blame on Robin's face, Nami beside him tightly grasped Robin's shaking and cold hand. Although her body was also shaking and her eyes were filled with worry, she still said in a firm tone, "Don't give up, that guy will never lose."

At this moment, Nami has already understood that the Arlong Pirates that once frightened her are not even a worm in front of this monster.

That guy is so scary!
How could there be such a monster in the sea?

But she still believed in the figure who had stood in front of her when she was most desperate.

"Since he hasn't let go, let's just trust him! If all else fails, let's go down to the sea as pirates and escape! I've asked people to prepare the boat, and if things get really bad, we'll take that guy and run away immediately, or..." As he spoke, his voice was still trembling, "Let's go to the boat and wait first!"

however.

"I believe in him!"

Faced with Nami's comfort, Robin's face, which was originally full of regret, self-blame and fear, smiled again, that elegant, intellectual, yet calm smile.

She nodded heavily.

"I have entrusted myself to you. No matter what the result is, I will be here waiting for the boss."

"???"X2
Nami and Kuina were stunned and looked at Robin in front of them with strange expressions.

Why does this sound a little weird?
This is too fast!

But before Nami could say anything.

Sudden.

Xia Che, who was originally stopped...

at this moment.

Moved!

And it is accompanied by a sentence.

"Are you really not going to Red Romance? I already said it's my treat!"

"..."

Kuzan also saw Xia Che moving, but before he could figure out what this guy was going to do, he suddenly heard these words. His face darkened again, and he was about to teach this guy a lesson.

In the blink of an eye.

A voice sounded from the other side.

That ethereal, gentle, yet calm voice came.

"Water Breathing, Form 11, Sea, Infinite!"

As the sound falls.

Kuzan's expression suddenly changed.

The entire sea was obviously frozen, but at this moment he seemed to feel... the sound of the surging sea.
