Those Who Fight Again

On the surface of the sea of Hadza Island, Locke stepped on the ice and looked at the thin and tall man in front of him with a cold look. "Ah la, kid, who are you? Is it a new member of Roger Pirates?" Kuzan was cold all over and asked in a low voice.

"Me? My name is Locke. I can be considered as a rookie pirate of Roger Pirates." Locke said as he clenched his sword.

"Since it's a new star monster of the Marine, it must be solid." Locke stared at Kuzan. The purple light on the long sword in his hand was condensing and compressing.

Kuzan felt the aura emitted by Locke and the long sword full of pressure and purple light. He looked serious. He didn't want to suffer a loss because of his arrogance.

"Ah la, do you want to test my strength? Then come on, let me see how strong the newcomer of Roger Pirates is."

"Gravity Knife, Fierce Tiger!"

"Frozen Time Capsule!"

"Buzz!"

"Woo!" The tiger's roar and the howling sound of the cold wind simultaneously pounced toward the other party.

"BOOM!" The purple horizontal gravity tiger crashed into the ice pillar that Ku Zan had shot out with his hands crossed and continued to charge at Ku Zan.

"Woo!"

"Kara-" Ku Zan cried out in alarm, and then his whole body was smashed by the horizontal gravity, turning into pieces of ice on the ground. After his attack succeeded, Locke did not attack again. Instead, he looked at the shattered pieces on the ground.

"Did you dodge before the attack? As expected of one of the three future Great Generals, your reaction speed is great."

"Kara!" The broken ice on the ground stretched and quickly returned to human form. "Phew." In the blink of an eye, Kuzan was utterly unharmed as he stepped on the surface of the ice.

"Ah la, what a powerful ability. I didn't expect you to eat such a powerful devil fruit. It's hard to imagine what will happen to you when you grow up completely. It is estimated that you will be as difficult to deal with as Golden Lion Shi Ji."

Kuzan scratched his head and said helplessly. "Therefore, it is better to catch you before you grow up. Otherwise, it will be a big problem in the future."

After Kuzan finished speaking, he put away his casual and lazy posture and looked at Locke seriously. His whole body emitted colder air than before.

"Humph, if you can do it, come try!" Locke snorted coldly. He held the long saber in his reverse grip. Then, he exerted force on his feet and bent his legs. Then, his strength erupted and rushed directly at Kuzan.

The long sword in his hand slashed at Kuzan's body extremely fast. "Ding!" However, although Locke was fast, Kuzan was not slow either. He quickly condensed a long sword made of ice in his hand and blocked Locke's attack.

His arm exerted force and repelled Locke. Then, Kuzan's entire body erupted with cold air, condensing the water molecules in the air and turning them into ice spears.

"Ice - Two Poles of Spears!"

"Whoosh!" Under Ku Zan's control, the dozens of ice spears in the air covered and stabbed Locke. Locke used his outstanding Kenbunshoku Haki to keep dodging the attacks of the ice spears. He waved the long sword in his hand and shattered the ice spears.

However, there were too many ice spears, and their speed was too fast. Locke exerted strength in his arm and ruthlessly swung his sword.

"Flow of One - Purple Eagle!" A strike that flashed with purple light turned into a flying eagle that shattered all the ice spears. After shattering the ice spears, the purple eagle continued to fly toward Kuzan.

He was ready to cut him into pieces. Kuzan looked at the purple flying slash without any panic in his eyes. His entire body was covered in the cold air as he waved the ice blade in his hand.

"Jump" Strong ice that reflected blue light and emitted a bone-piercing chill instantly appeared before him to block.

"Sizzle"

"Ka Cha!" The purple eagle cut off a cut on the ice wall that reflected the blue light and then lost its power and dissipated in the air. After blocking Locke's attack, Kuzan did not sit still. He waved his hands, and a bone-piercing chill surged out.

"Ice Cage!"

Buzz! Immediately, dozens of giant ice pillars appeared around Locke, forming a vast ice cage that completely controlled him inside. Immediately, he was controlled by Kuzan. Locke did not sit still and waved the sword in his hand.

The sword with the Busoshoku was covered with a purple gravity halo. Locke rotated his body in the ice prison, and a round purple light suddenly spread from his body.

"Gravity Blade, Gravity Impact!"

Buzz! Gravity Strike directly hit every icicle in the ice prison.

"Kacha!" It only lasted for a moment before the icicle was shattered by the impact of gravity, turning into pieces of ice on the ground. After crushing the ice prison that trapped him with one move, Locke raised his sword and prepared to attack Kuzan.

However, Kuzan seemed to have known that his attack would not be helpful to Locke, so he took the initiative to attack and arrived above Locke in advance. Kuzan crossed his arms, and a bone-chilling cold spread out from his body.

"Freezing - Freezing Time Capsule!"

"Hu!" The ice pillar instantly swallowed Locke. Kuzan succeeded in his attack. He landed on the ground and retreated slightly, maintaining a safe distance from Locke, who had been wholly frozen into an ice sculpture.

He did not directly rush up to crush Locke's ice sculpture because he felt an incomparably terrifying aura emanating from the ice sculpture.

"Crack -" Just as Kuzan retreated to a safe distance, Locke's body, which had turned into an ice sculpture, began to crack rapidly.

Weng!

"Kacha!"

"Bang!"

Immediately, the ice covering Locke's body shattered, and a violent aura spread, bringing a violent wave of air that swept the surroundings.

"Ah la, it isn't that easy to deal with. Moreover, this little brat has the domineering aura of a king. He is a little brat with full potential!" Kuzan muttered in a low voice with a solemn expression. Then, his entire body tensed up, ready to fight at any time.

"Hu, hu, hu."

Locke broke free from the ice and gasped for breath. Kuzan's ability was indeed a bit terrifying. The intense cold air penetrated his skin and eroded his internal organs. If he had not used his Busoshoku to resist in advance, his internal organs would have been completely frozen.

After gasping for a while, Locke took a deep breath, bent slightly, held his long sword horizontally in front of his chest, and stared at Kuzan.

"Phew. Then, let's continue!" After saying that, Locke charged directly at Kuzan. Kuzan did not waste his breath. He raised the ice spear in his hand and charged at Locke.

"'BOOM!"The two of them waved their weapons and collided fiercely. In the distance, Jia Ba, who had been watching Locke and Kuzan fight, grinned and casually blocked the attack of the rear admiral.

"Oh, it seems our Locke kid is also a good little monster."

Jia Ba smiled and teased the rear admiral in front of him.

"Hmph!" The rear admiral snorted and raised his sword above his head to block Jaba's short axe. Looking at the rear admiral holding on, Jaba took back his short axe and looked at him teasingly.

"Hey, we are old friends who have fought many times. Don't be so rigid. Why don't we stop and drink and chat?"

"Bastard! I am a rear admiral of the headquarters; how can I sit with a pirate and drink? Accept the punishment of justice!"

The rear admiral roared and waved the sword to slash at Jaba.

Jaba smiled indifferently and raised his two short axes to fight with the other.

On the battlefield in the distance, Roger and Garp fought fiercely, and the two retreated several steps simultaneously; they also looked at each other with a smile.

"Garp, there is an interesting kid on your ship. Why is he a new member of your Marine?" Roger grinned and asked Garp with his sword in his hand.

"Hmph" Garp moved his arms and clenched his fists in front of his chest.

"That's right, that kid is called Kuzan; how is it? He is a very good young man, hahaha." Garp teased for a while, then he turned and looked at Locke, who was fighting with Kuzan.

"Roger, where did you kidnap the kid from? You bastard, such a good seedling, took him on the path of a pirate; it's unforgivable!" Garp shouted and rushed to Roger like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Kekeke, my charm is stronger than your sea army!"

Roger laughed and rushed to Garp with his sword.

"God's Punishment!"
