Chapter 178: Battle of Kuzan

"Hey, young man. You look familiar to me." Kuzan looked at Yun Tianxiang. He felt that he must have seen him somewhere before.

"Donghai. We've met before. Nico Robin and I were together at that time." Yun Tianxiang clenched his fists, walked past the crowd, came to Kuzan and confronted him.

"Oh. That makes some sense to me. But, brother, I advise you to back off. You are no match for me." Kuzan lazily persuaded Yun Tianxiang to give in.

"No, absolutely not." Yun Tianxiang's voice was firm and powerful.

Ace walked to Yun Tianxiang, patted him gently, and said with a smile: "Let me do it. Tianxiang."

"Ah, Ah, I'm not here to fight with you. Hand over Nico Robin." Kuzan looked at the two people who were full of energy, and he clenched his fists without any hesitation.

A tremendous aura surged out from Kuzan's body, and countless cold ice and snow emerged from his body, covering the earth. In a moment, the earth within a radius of hundreds of meters turned into frozen soil.

Ace was the first to activate the Great Flame Ring to form a warm protective net, and Yun Tianxiang followed closely behind, summoning fire clouds to provide warmth for everyone.

Fire and ice formed the only scenery at this time.

Nami curled up tightly and complained, "It's so cold. What's going on?"

Usopp trembled and hugged Hachi tightly, "That guy, that marine turned into an ice man!"

"Everyone. Are you okay?" Yun Tianxiang summoned the fire cloud at maximum power.

The fire cloud soon covered a distance of hundreds of meters. The fire cloud was filled with a large amount of flames and emitted an astonishing temperature, but it did not have the effect of melting the ice field created by Kuzan.

As an ability to derive flames, it is far inferior to the pure Flame-Flame Fruit.

A fireball thrown by Ace could easily melt the ice created by Kuzan, but Yun Tianxiang's fire cloud could not do it.

However, the advantage of the fire cloud is that as long as Yun Tianxiang does not take it back on his own initiative, the cloud will continue to burn until someone puts it out.

"Captain of Whitebeard's Second Division, Fire Fist Ace. I don't know what you are doing here, but I advise you to get out of the way." Kuzan walked towards Ace with lazy but determined steps.

"I refuse." Ace rubbed his hands together to form a huge fireball with a radius of 20 meters and threw it towards Kuzan.

"Ice Cube "Pheasant's Beak"" Kuzan raised his hand, and a huge ice bird, whose size was not inferior to the huge fireball, flew towards the fireball.

The fireball and ice bird burst into flames in mid-air.

The smoke rising into the sky can be seen from far away.

"Has Kuzan started to take action? That guy doesn't even bother to keep the noise down." On the naval battleship, Zhan Guo complained dissatisfiedly as he looked at the smoke rising from the rear.

"Don't underestimate him. There are people under the empress who can resist Kuzan." He looked at the billowing smoke and reminded Zhan Guo with great caution.

"I understand. Notify all ships to only follow Hancock's ships and not to attack Hancock. No matter what happens, no attack is allowed. Xiaozuru. Please keep an eye on Zephyr and Akainu." After giving the order, Sengoku asked Vice Admiral Tsuru to keep an eye on them.

"I understand." Vice Admiral He walked slowly toward the outside of the warship. She was going to supervise people on another warship.

After recovering his arm, Zephyr became a representative of the hawk faction in the navy. Akainu, who was also a tough guy, naturally became his disciple. In addition, Zephyr's disciples and apprentices were spread throughout the navy. To put it bluntly, if Zephyr obtained the fruit of the Red Earl, he would regain his peak combat power.

The future direction of the pirate world is difficult to determine.

After all, Zefa's crazy idea at the time was to destroy the entire New World just to eliminate the pirates.

"Rayleigh. Which direction is that?" On the Perfume Serpent, Boa Hancock stood on the snake's head, looking back and asked Rayleigh.

"Don't worry, Hancock. With Flame Flower and Shakira here, everything will be fine." Rayleigh smiled confidently.

"Rayleigh! If anything happens to you, my dear, I will never forgive you!" Boa Hancock held Raleigh in both hands and rubbed his old face.

"Haha~" Rayleigh laughed awkwardly.

Ace and Yun Tianxiang teamed up to deal with Kuzan. As a monster in the navy, Kuzan, who is the highest-powered admiral of the navy, can be said to be one of the three strongest admirals in the past 800 years. If Yun Tianxiang does not join forces with Ace, he has no chance of winning with his current strength. Similarly, Ace cannot defeat Kuzan in a one-on-one fight.

Kuzan is a hexagonal warrior, and the fruit is only a part of the weapon he uses. He condensed an ice blade, then attached the armed color domineering to the ice blade, and started a close combat with Ace and Yun Tianxiang.

Seeing this, Yun Tianxiang drew out his black sword Yunlong and started a melee with Kuzan. Ace supported him from a distance.

"A dragon travels through the sky!" Yun Tianxiang shouted, and the black knife in his hand swung quickly and randomly towards Kuzan.

But upon closer inspection, one could see a black dragon condensed in this chaotic waving.

Kuzan didn't say anything, but simply used a basic attack to block the fancy attack.

"Fire Fist!" Ace threw a fire fist from a distance.

Kuzan casually raised one hand, forming an ice escape to block the fire fist.

"This guy." Yun Tianxiang danced the sword in his hand quickly. He knew that Kuzan was not serious at all.

The three admirals of the navy all know how to use the armament Haki technique of Ryusakura. They had demonstrated it when they were resisting the vibration of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and protecting the execution platform, forming an invisible barrier in the air.

"Young man, your swordsmanship is very messy. You don't look like someone who has practiced swordsmanship." Kuzan was very comfortable dealing with Yun Tianxiang's swordsmanship attack. While responding, he pointed out that Yun Tianxiang's swordsmanship was that of an amateur.

"It's true that I haven't practiced swordsmanship. But, I don't need swordsmanship to defeat you." Yun Tianxiang would not waste time studying swordsmanship.

In the later period of One Piece, who cares about swordsmanship? In the version of Observation Haki, single-sword damage is the most important, and fancy swordsmanship is just a burden.

As long as you find a way of exerting force that suits you, that's what a swordsman should do.

In the previous swing, Yun Tianxiang found his own way of exerting force, so he was confident that in the next fight, he could use his swordsmanship to force the opponent to use his full strength.

"Oh. Brother. Very confident. Then I have to be a little more serious too." Kuzan covered more ice and armament color on the ice blade.

Looking at the ice blade that had become thicker, Yun Tianxiang knew that Kuzan had become stronger, but he was still acting in a playful manner. This was an insult to him!!!

He is fighting with the determination to die!!!

Yun Tianxiang took a deep breath, and his legs turned into wind clouds and thunder clouds. The two clouds overlapped with each other and burst out with a speed that exceeded the lightning.

"So fast." Zoro and Sanji, who were watching, exclaimed in unison.

He put away the sword, held it tightly, and slashed upward with the left side. Yun Tianxiang did it in one go.

"Failed to dodge it!?" Kuzan covered his left shoulder, where there was a crack cut by Yun Tianxiang, and asked in surprise.

"What a pity." Karp, who was not far away, watched Yun Tianxiang hit Kuzan but failed to cause effective damage.

"What a pity? That's a black sword. Even if the person himself cannot use Armament Haki, that sword will make up for that." Flame Flower commented beside Garp.

A faint stream of crimson blood flowed from Kuzan's shoulder.

"Kuzan is injured. He is going to be serious. Is it really okay for you not to take action?" Karp looked at Fire Flower with serious eyes.

Flame Flower snorted coldly, "I'll just keep an eye on you here. There's also Xia Qi over there. I'm not worried."

"I was careless. I didn't expect you old guys are still alive." Karp looked at Fire Flower warily.

"Hehe." Flame Flower stared at Garp with the same vigilance.

"You do have some strength to be able to hurt me, brother. I'm going to be serious next time." Kuzan froze the wound with ice, then turned around with a gloomy face and looked at Yun Tianxiang.

“Come on!” Yun Tianxiang tightly grasped the black knife Yunlong, and the black knife burst out with domineering aura and armed aura.

Garp felt the ominous domineering aura and frowned.

"Take that! Ice Age!" Kuzan slapped the ground with one hand, and a large amount of ice attacked Yun Tianxiang!
