One Piece: The Will of Conqueror is the strongest

"Haha, I can move around freely again!"

As soon as Shukaku appeared, he burst into laughter.

"This monster doesn't seem to have red eyes."

Kuzan also sensed that Shukaku's aura was strange and didn't seem human.

Moreover, his Observation Haki was constantly locked onto Brando, whose aura was inside the monster's body.

"Let's deal with you first!"

Shukaku looked down at Kuzan, then opened its mouth and injected Yin-Yang chakra in a 2:8 ratio to directly condense a Tailed Beast Ball.

Kuzan narrowed his eyes, then suddenly swung his right hand, and the cold air spread out, instantly freezing the giant Shukaku along with the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, the condensed Tailed Beast Ball exploded, shattering the ice. Shukaku's mouth was also partially destroyed, but it quickly recovered through chakra repair.

"sand?"

Kuzan looked down and saw a large amount of sand emerging from the ice.

"Isn't this Crocodile's ability?"

"Could this guy's power be the power he gained from stealing a Devil Fruit?"

Kuzan considered this astonishing possibility.

However, the sand controlled by Shukaku was frozen again by Kuzan as soon as it appeared.

The gigantic Shukaku was simply a punching bag in front of Kuzan, unable to fight back at all. Its wide-range attack ability was also ineffective against the Ice-Ice Fruit.

"Damn it, this guy is so annoying!"

Shukaku was furious.

Its attack was stopped before it could be used, and then it was frozen. After struggling to break free, it was hit by a punch, and part of its body was frozen again.

"So, let's join forces, Shukaku, and teach this lackey a lesson together."

Brando is having a conversation with Shukaku in the mental space.

The numerical gap is truly insurmountable. Brando already has a lot of mechanics, but he's still no match for Kuzan.

"Tch, I'm not going to talk to you..."

Shukaku was about to answer.

Its body, made of chakra, was hit in the face by Kuzan, and most of its face was smashed.

Kuzan missed hitting Brando's mouth earlier, so he's venting his anger on Shukaku now.

But this angered Shukaku.

"I'll lend you my strength, but if you don't punch him in the face, I won't lend it to you again!"

After realizing he couldn't defeat Kuzan, Shukaku wanted revenge and had no choice but to cooperate with Brando.

"no problem!"

Brando agreed immediately.

Kuzan looked at Shukaku, who had been frozen again by him.

"Did the awakening of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit fail?"

Kuzan speculated about the reason why Brando's body had become like this. He believed that if a Zoan-type Devil Fruit failed to awaken, there was a chance that the person's personality would be devoured, and the body would be taken over by the animal's will, turning the person into a pure beast.

The way Shukaku acted just now was like that of a wild beast, which is why Kuzan had such suspicions.

"Now that he's in this state, I wonder if the World Government will still recognize him as Red-Eye."

Kuzan said with a bit of a headache.

At the same time, for some reason, he didn't want Brando to die like that. He felt that it would be more interesting if this guy continued to be active on the sea. At least those high and mighty Celestial Dragons would have one more enemy.

"Um?"

"Again?"

Kuzan watched as the frozen Shukaku trembled rapidly, and he felt like he was doing sit-ups.

However, it wasn't that Shukaku broke free from the freeze; rather, Shukaku turned into sand and scattered, revealing Brando in the very center.

As Brando suddenly spread his arms wide, the sand spread out and broke the ice.

"Now it's round two!"

Brando landed on the ice.

At this moment, black patterns appeared on Brando's exposed skin, exactly the same as the patterns on Shukaku's body.

No matter how many times, I will defeat you!

Kuzan said earnestly.

Then his figure sped across the ice, heading straight for Brando.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Brando created two shadow clones, which directly blocked Kuzan's path.

Kuzan thought he could quickly deal with these two shadow clones, just like with the previous ones, but he immediately sensed something was wrong, because the two shadow clones were charging towards him, wielding their spiral shuriken.

That move was clearly only something that the main body could use!

The two spiraling shuriken directly stopped Kuzan's attack. This move also posed a threat to him, and he didn't want to take it head-on. Two small mushroom clouds rose up.

As soon as Kuzan landed on the ice, sand broke through the ice and wrapped around his feet.

However, it was pulverized with just a slight step from Kuzan.

"Is the ability to control sand the power of that beast from before?"

Kuzan once again used Ice Age to reinforce the ice layer so that he could use more terrain when he transformed into his elemental form.

But this time the sand was no longer as powerless as before, and was able to put up some resistance.

"We still need to deal with the main issue first!"

Kuzan was somewhat panicked at this point, because he didn't know how many more sit-ups Brando could do, and he felt that things would go wrong if he continued.

Two shadow clones surrounded Kuzan. This time, the shadow clones were so powerful because they received the support of Shukaku's chakra. The previous state of borrowing tailed beast chakra only increased the amount of chakra.

However, with Shukaku now fully supporting him, his chakra reserves have reached the limit of the Kage level, even comparable to the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.

Kuzan charged toward Brando's main body again, while quickly dodging the shadow clones' attacks, and directly withstanding some insignificant moves.

As he broke through a sand wall, Brando's true form conjured another dumpling. The dumpling emitted a yellow light and had patterns on it. Instead of running away, Brando charged towards Kuzan with the dumpling in his hand.

Kuzan sensed something was wrong with the energy ball in Brando's hand, but he didn't feel any aura of death, so he went straight to meet it.

"Magnetic Release·Rasengan!"

This is a Rasengan unleashed from the power of Shukaku, and it has a sealing effect.

"The Gloves of Ice!"

Kuzan met the attack head-on with his fist, which was imbued with the power of ice.

The impact of the collision shattered the surrounding ice surface.

"What?"

Kuzan saw strange patterns on the energy ball he was touching, which were rapidly spreading to his fist. At the same time, he also felt that the power of the Devil Fruit seemed to be suppressed.

At the same time, two giant claws made of sand appeared behind Brando and reached out to grab Kuzan.

This is Shukaku in control; it is preparing to cast a sealing spell to suppress Kuzan.

"hiss.."

Kuzan dared not hold back, unleashing a chilling aura.

It instantly froze everything around it, interrupting Shukaku's movements and freezing Brando as well.

Kuzan didn't stop, preparing to throw a punch at Brando, who was trapped in the ice.

However, two shadow clones came from behind to restrain him.

"So annoying!"

Kuzan felt that Brando was annoying, both in his mouth and his abilities; he was just a irritating guy.

He could only use the Ice-Ice Fruit's power to create an ice wall to block the shadow clones' attacks.

However, Brando also broke the ice using Shukaku's power.

Seeing this, Kuzan immediately threw a punch to meet the attack, and Brando did the same, raising his fist to punch Kuzan's face, because he felt that time was running out.

"Bang!"

Both of them got punched in the face, but Kuzan's arm was longer because he was taller.

Brando used the Expansion Technique to extend his arm and make his fist bigger. Although it was said to hit his face, his entire head was actually hit.

Both of them were sent flying backwards by the blow.

Kuzan slammed into the ice wall he had created, while Brando was caught by sand controlled by his shadow clone.
