Chapter 484 Retreat x Breakthrough

Looking at the smiling Xia Jieren, Kuzan asked seriously: "What do you want to say?"

Xia Jieren did not answer but asked: "What do you think of the life of the people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands?"

"Very good! Better than civilians anywhere else in the sea!" Kuzan told the truth.

Xia Jieren raised the corners of his lips and said proudly: "Now nearly 5100 million people in [Xihai] live a similar life."

"How is this possible!" Kuzan's pupils contracted and he lost his voice when he heard this.

Kuzan's expression made Xia Jieren very happy.

"Nothing is impossible!"

"It all depends on man!"

Xia Jieren waved his hand with the demeanor of a master.

Kuzan tried hard to digest the information revealed by Xia Jieren.

Seeing that Kuzan had almost digested it, Xia Jieren revealed another cruel fact: "Kuzan, in fact, the world is not short of resources."

"[West Sea] 5100 million people is far from the limit."

"According to our [Netherlands] estimates, even if the [West Sea] population reaches 4 million, everyone can still live a high-quality life."

Kuzan seemed to be listening to a divine book.

His mind is a little confused now.

As far as he knew, most of the civilians on the sea were poor and lived in misery.

But now someone told him that these people lived a completely wealthy life.

Kuzan stared at Xia Jieren with complicated eyes.

Xia Jieren asked: "Why, you can't do it?"

Kuzan remained silent.

"In this way, after a while, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be open to the public and receive tourists. You can go and see it for yourself."

"I will!" Kuzan nodded slightly.

[The Kingdom of the Netherlands] has now only opened the [Westland Pass] as a test field, and has not yet opened it to the entire territory.

Kuzan knew the news.

The Navy also sent people to the Xihai Pass to investigate.

The prosperity there is beyond imagination.

Just as Xia Jieren wanted to continue chatting and stalling for time, Borsalino's dissatisfied voice came from a distance: "Kuzan, you guy, how long do you want to be lazy?"

Xia Jieren and others turned their heads to look.

Borsalino blocked Sanda's kick with one hand while staring at Kuzan with displeasure.

Kuzan rubbed his head awkwardly.

He looked at Xia Jieren, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Sorry, I have to start fulfilling my duties."

"Please!" Xia Jieren nodded slightly, still with a smile on his face.

Kuzan frowned, a little surprised: "Does he have any trump card, or does he look down on me?"

"It's a pleasure to chat with you. I look forward to you joining us in the near future." Xia Jieren said as he turned around.

While speaking, Gate opened the [Air Gate].

Xia Jieren stepped in.

Gate followed closely behind.

The [Air Door] slowly closed. Kuzan looked at the empty space ahead, speechless: "Escaped?!"

He was really dumbfounded!

"Abandoning your companions and running away?" Kuzan shifted his gaze to Sanda, frowning and thinking.

But, he felt something was wrong.

"Hey, aren't you going to run away?" Borsalino said jokingly, his eyes flashing.

Sanda's expression did not change at all as he continued to cast spells.

"Thunderbird", "Qilin" and "Electromagnetic Cannon" blasted out one after another, and the offensive was as fierce as fire.

Unable to figure out the intentions of Xia Jieren and the others, Kuzan flashed to Sanda's side and whispered: "Frozen Two Thorns!"

The ice spear pierced through Sanda's body and hit the ground.

The area within a radius of several meters was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Alala~, the nature department is really troublesome!" Kuzan complained.

Then he bent down, plucked a few blades of grass, and blew out a breath of cold air from his mouth to form an ice knife.

The ice blade was filled with a strong [Armament Haki] in the blink of an eye.

"Sword of Ame-no-Kurosakumo!" Upon seeing this, Borsalino condensed photons in his hands and formed a sword of light.

For a moment, facing the siege of two generals, Sanda's pressure suddenly increased and his physical strength was greatly consumed.

"The winner is decided!" The crowd watching secretly thought in unison.

Sanda seemed to be at the end of his rope and was venting his lightning energy wantonly.

This certainly poses no threat to the two admirals Kizaru and Aokiji.

The two generals held their weapons and kept closing the distance between them and Sanda.

Lightning surged in Sanda's right hand, and soon it condensed into a lightning spear.

clang! clang! ! clang! ! !

The three people's weapons collided rapidly, making a series of sharp and piercing sounds.

Facing the pincer attack from the two generals, veins on Sanda's forehead were exposed and his lightning spear left an afterimage.

On the contrary, Kizaru and Aokiji seemed to be at ease.

"Surrender!" Kuzan said lightly.

"You should be proud of yourself for being able to hold on until now in the face of our two naval admirals." Borsalino said leisurely.

Sanda's breathing gradually became rapid, and he stared at his opponent with a firm gaze.

"Oh..." Kuzan sighed slightly in his heart.

Meeting Sanda's eyes, Kuzan already understood his choice.

After holding on for another half an hour, Sanda gradually lost his strength.

Thousands of meters above the ground, Xia Jieren looked at this scene with worry.

He asked with concern: "Sanda, do you need to recover?"

"No!" Sanda refused decisively: "It's almost there, the bottleneck is showing signs of loosening!"

Xia Jieren clenched his fists and stared at the screen without blinking, his face flushed slightly: "Admiral level... it's almost there... it's almost there!"

As time went by, Sanda was covered in blood and looked extremely miserable.

However, this was just a minor injury for him.

Sanda stood with a gun in hand and rushed towards the two men again without hesitation.

After fighting for so long, Borsalino and Kuzan both suffered some minor injuries.

【Armament Haki】is extremely effective against users with 【Devil Fruit】abilities.

Sanda's [Observation Haki] is stronger than the two admirals, but his [Armament Haki] is inferior.

His physical strength was rapidly depleted, but Sanda's eyes lit up: "Almost...almost..."

Finally, when his physical strength reached the critical point, Sanda seemed to hear a "click" in his ears, and the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time disappeared.

Sanda wiped his face, wiped off the oozing blood, and smiled happily: "Haha~, I finally made a breakthrough!"

"How scary! He actually had two admirals as sparring partners. How courageous!" Borsalino had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were even colder.

Kuzan let out a breath of cold air and moved more skillfully.

The two men approached again.

The next moment, the "Divine Seal" on the back of Sanda's hand shone brightly.

His momentum is rising steadily!

In just a few seconds, Sanda recovered to his peak condition.

The pupils of the two generals, Kizaru and Aokiji, shrank slightly: "Not good!"

In their perception, Sanda has already touched the threshold of becoming a general, and will surely become a general-level strongman in time.

"We must not let him leave!" The two men looked at each other, murderous intent in their eyes.

Sanda felt the power contained in his body and said, "Thank you very much! I am in great shape now!"

"Since you want to thank me, then stay! Ice Age!" Kuzan said coldly.

In an instant, a wall of ice rose from the ground.
