Chapter 7: Clash Of Ice and Fire

Suoshwan Island, Guanhou Archipelago, Paradise

North of Guanhou Kingdom, on the desolate island of Suoshwan in the Guanhou Archipelago, a fierce wind howled as Kaido descended from the sky. Without wings, he commanded the clouds to lower him gently, landing with a thunderous crash in front of the young Marine, Kuzan. The ground trembled beneath his feet as Kaido unleashed a wave of Conqueror's Haki, an overwhelming force that dominated the battlefield.The air grew thick with tension as the two formidable figures locked eyes, a silent battle of wills beginning before a single blow was struck.

Kuzan, though only 21 years old, was no stranger to the might of the person standing in front of him Kaido user of mythical zoan azure dragon fruit .

Kuzan had fought alongside Garp against the likes of Roger and whitebeard, gaining invaluable experience against powerful foes. Despite the monstrous presence before him, Kuzan was unshaken. He wasn't just facing Kaido; he was facing down a man who could one day become a tyrant capable plunging the world into chaos. Kuzan was determined to stop him, to throw him into Impel Down and protect the world from this criminal .

Nearby, the Kuja Pirates and CP agents continued their skirmish, but the captain of the Kuja Pirates, sensing the escalating danger, shouted, "Everyone, this is not a battle we can handle! Retreat immediately!"

Kaido's Haki was so overwhelming that several of the weaker Cp combatants collapsed on the spot. The CP captain, seeing his targets slipping away, tried to pursue them, but before he could take more than a step, a fist-sized rock, clad with Kaido's Haki, hurtled towards him. He barely managed to raise his arm in defense, but the impact sent him flying 50 to 60 meters, his arm bending unnaturally, blood spilling from his mouth.

Kuzan, realizing that the CP agents were in over their heads, attempted to intercept Kaido. But the distance between them was too great. Kaido had already dealt a major blow, seeing this he knows his workload going to increase.

"Worororo," Kaido laughed, his voice booming across the island. "Kuzan, it seems my reputation isn't strong enough in the Grand Line."

Kuzan remained unfazed, his body beginning to transform into ice. "You accuse me of showing off in front of women, but you're the one full of arrogance.Don't think you can intimidate me. I'll send you straight to Impel Down, In the name of Justice!"

"Enough talk!, Ice bastard" Kaido snarled. "If you have ability ,Come and try it!"

The two warriors charged at each other. As Kuzan's body morphed into solid ice, Kaido began his own transformation, taking on his hybrid human-dragon form.His scales shimmered, and large deer-like horns crowned his head. The earth itself cracked under the force of their initial clash. Kuzan attempted to freeze Kaido, but Kaido countered with searing flames from his mouth, enveloping himself in dragon fire in an armor like pattern with help of cloud. He look like devil from hell.

For 10 to 20 minutes, the two exchanged devastating blows, each strike reshaping the island beneath them. The land cracked and splintered, trees were felled, and rocks were shattered.

Kuzan, his breath visible in the freezing air, remarked between blows, "Hey, Kaido, your moves have changed. Since when did you start fighting with your brain?"

Kaido smirked, flames licking at his lips. "Why do you Marines care about my moves? Weren't you just boasting about sending me to Impel Down? Come on, I'm right here!"

"Don't be so arrogant, Kaido. We Marines will still send you to Impel Down," Kuzan retorted, his tone cold and confident. "What are you doing in Paradise instead of the New World? Are you here to retire, or have you made an alliance with the Kuja Pirates?"

"Why should I tell you anything? You can't do a thing to the Kuja Pirates anyway, not without your dirty tricks. The Kuja Pirates are the army of Amazon Lily. The Marines have no right to interfere."

Kuzan's eyes narrowed. "Ara Ara, since when did you get smarter? But it doesn't matter. When I capture you, I'll find out."

"worororo,worororo"Kaido's patience ran thin. "Do you only know how to talk, or do you have any real power? Come here, and I'll kill you!"

Once more, they clashed with terrifying force. As Kuzan's battleship appeared on the horizon, Kaido ordered the Kuja Pirates to retreat to Amazon Lily. The battlefield erupted into chaos as Kaido and Kuzan resumed their fierce melee, abandoning Devil Fruit abilities for raw, brutal Haki.

Though Kuzan's appearance and icy powers might suggest he was a mage, in truth, he was a warrior. Trained by the legendary Garp, he had spent countless hours honing his strength,even using decommissioned ships as punching bags. Now, he faced one of the greatest threats in the world, a battle that would test his every limit.

But Kaido was no ordinary opponent. The Azure Dragon's power was unyielding, and Kuzan knew that the battle was far from over. Each clash of Haki and fist sent shockwaves across the island, leaving the outcome uncertain.
