All of this only fueled Kaido's fighting spirit, and he swung his spiked club, charging even more ferociously towards Akainu!
"Let's fight to our heart's content, Sakazuki!!!"
Just as Akainu and Kaido were locked in fierce combat, the battle on the other side was also on the verge of erupting.
"Ice Age!"
Kuzan, Marine Admiral Aokiji, spoke in a low voice, and at the same time, a biting cold burst forth from him!
The air, previously warmed by magma and Heat Breath, instantly dropped to freezing, and white freezing mist surged forward like a tsunami, intending to completely freeze the several dangerous figures in front of him, along with the entire sea.
His target was none other than the Red Hair Pirates' First Mate, Benn Beckman, and the several renowned officers beside him.
"Tsk, he's really merciless, Aokiji."
Lucky Roux bit into a large piece of meat, yet his words were clear; his corpulent body, with agility completely unbefitting his size, leaped backward and to the side, where the ground he had just stood on had already turned into a solid ice field.
Yasopp raised his beloved gun, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, "As expected of an Admiral, this cold is really something."
Facing this absolute zero, capable of instantly freezing an entire ocean, Benn Beckman's expression remained calm; he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
The moment the freezing mist was about to touch the tip of his shoe, he moved!
One couldn't even clearly see his motion of drawing the gun; only a loud "bang" was heard, and a specially made bullet, imbued with top-tier Armament Haki, had already shot out of the barrel, not aimed at Aokiji himself, but precisely striking the "source" core of the spreading ice layer in front.
Boom!
The terrifying impact and Haki contained within the bullet instantly exploded, actually halting the massive freezing mist and shattering a corner of it, carving out a safe zone for everyone.
Aokiji's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Although it was only a probing attack, Beckman's casual neutralization of it still demonstrated his unfathomable strength.
These guys, though they were First Mates or officers, each possessed monstrous strength.
Kuzan felt a chill in his heart; facing the Red Hair Pirates' top combatants, even a slight lapse in concentration would not just be a simple defeat; serious injury or even falling here was not impossible.
He wasn't a madman like Sakazuki, who advocated extreme offense, nor was he as composed as Borsalino; he didn't want to get injured on such a chaotic battlefield.
Also, he felt that this war seemed... not that necessary, and on the other side of the battlefield, his two colleagues seemed off; they appeared to be fighting very hard, but it was a bit strange... However, a strong sense of crisis urged him to hold nothing back.
"Two-Spiked Spear!"
Kuzan waved both hands, and countless huge and sharp ice spears instantly condensed in the air, carrying a bone-chilling cold, covering Beckman and the others like a torrential downpour!
At the same time, beneath his feet, the ice layer rapidly spread again, and several giant ice dragons broke through the ice, roaring and biting at their targets from different directions.
"Looks like it's time to get serious."
Beckman's eyes narrowed, and he reloaded his gun, powerful Haki faintly flowing, "Guys, don't let the Marines... look down on our Red Hair Pirates!"
The battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch!
On the other end of the battlefield,
Borsalino—Marine Admiral "Kizaru"—flickered in golden light, finally blocking a group of aggressive "New Navy" members.
The purple-haired giant leading them was his former teacher, ex-Marine Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr!
