One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

"We hope you will join the navy."

An old voice came from a distance on the gloomy ice field.

"Navy Chief of Staff · Crane"

Seeing the old lady appearing next to Aokiji, Crocodile's face changed for the first time. As a navy of the same period as Sengoku Garp, although she did not have the super strength of the other two, her devil fruit was simply the nightmare of all pirates.

"Superman-type · Washing Fruit."

It can wash away the sins in others' hearts and make people return to kindness. This is simply unacceptable to the evil pirates on the sea.

"I didn't expect the navy to send you out this time. These two newcomers are really big."

Glancing at Crocodile casually, Crane reminded: "Boy, since you want to be a pirate hero, then restrain your behavior, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble for you."

"Navy, you don't need to take care of my business."

Knowing the meaning of the other party's words, Crocodile interrupted impatiently.

Crane didn't care about the other party's attitude. The things that Sengoku had told him to do had been completed, and now there was only one last thing left.

"What do you two think?"

The tone was very ordinary, and there was no sense of danger. Ace and Kuina knew that this was just the calm before the storm. The other party came all the way to find them, not just to ask for their opinions.

Even though they knew the consequences of rejection, Ace and Kuina still rejected the other party's kindness without hesitation.

"We prefer the freedom of the sea to the constraints of the navy!"

Listening to the two people's unwavering tone, He slowly said: "In this case, I will not ask any more questions, and I will leave it to you, Kuzan."

"Alalalal, although I already knew the result would be like this, isn't it good to be a navy?"

Along with the voice, there was the chill that Kuzan's body could emit. Even in the extremely hot desert, this chill still stung the skin.

The ice in his hand condensed, and an irregular ice knife formed.

"Then let me test your strength. You can't realize your dream just by relying on others' protection."

"Issushi Iris!"

Seeing the admiral of the navy taking a fighting stance, Kuina pulled out the snow-white Jiyue without hesitation. The bright blade reflected the sun's light, and several dense blue slashes flew out.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Swinging the ice saber in his hand quickly, Kuzan smashed the attacking sword energy one by one.

All the trainees who came out of the navy training camp have undergone rigorous training. The best among them can be called geniuses in swords, guns, physical skills, etc.

Just like the three current admirals of the navy, although they are devil fruit ability users, their sword skills are mostly not bad, but compared with the ability of devil fruits, swordsmanship is obviously not enough to deal with enemies of the same level.

This is why Kuzan chose to use the ice saber to split the flying slash instead of using sword energy to fight.

Without raising his head, he could sense the tiny gap on the ice saber. Kuzan sincerely exclaimed, "Kuina, you are really strong."

"I think so too. My dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

There was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, but his hands never stopped moving. He gently wiped the blade with two fingers, and the afterimage flashed and disappeared. Kuina had already appeared behind Kuzan.

"Wind Sword·Wind Sound!"

For this level of battle, Kuina did not make any so-called attempts, and went straight to use all her strength.

"Hear it, the howling of the wind!"

This sword was realized by Kuina on a rainy day. Through her super-fast speed, she drove the instantaneous flow of air, thus forming a small-scale storm area for a short time, causing damage to the enemy.

Looking at the cut skin and the slowly healing wound, Kuzan frowned, "You can actually control the wind, what a special swordsmanship!"

Turning back to look at Kuzan, Kuina's pupils shrank, only to see that the previous attack did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent.

"Alalalalal, don't make that expression. There are not many people on this sea who can hurt me, and there are even fewer people of your age."

A lazy voice came from behind Kuina, and the piercing long sword was already behind her.

"Clang!"

Turning around and raising her right hand, the two long swords of different materials collided, and once again made a sound of metal clashing. The huge force that shook the warship was transmitted to Kuina's hand, and the whole person was like an arrow from a string, smashing in front of Crocodile.

"Kuina!"

Witnessing the fate of his partner, Ace changed his usual smile and was extremely angry.

"Mirror Fire!"

Countless white flames surged from Ace's body, forming a flowing mirror on the ice surface, with a higher temperature than ordinary red flames, and rushed straight to Kuzan.

"Alalalalal, each one is ridiculously strong."

"Rampant Pheasant!"

It is impolite not to return the favor, and the ability of the ice fruit was activated, and the outline of a strange bird appeared in front of Kuzan. As the air continued to produce cold air, the fuzzy-eared ice bird took shape and waved its wings to rush straight into the white fire mirror.

After a short stalemate, the blue ice bird pierced through the fire mirror, and the flames in the sky spread in all directions, and immediately stirred up bursts of white mist when it landed on the ground.

"Bang!"

The ice bird fell from the sky and exploded. The shock wave generated by the explosion carried ice fragments and spread to wherever it was seen.

On the ice not far away, Crane and Crocodile quietly watched the battle in the distance. Crane stretched out his right hand to activate the ability of the Wash Wash Fruit in response to the oncoming shock wave, and the invisible air wave stopped immediately like a docile child.

In the center of the ice bird's fall, Ace knelt on one knee on the ice, with the left half of his body wrapped in ice. The biting coldness continued to erode his physical strength, and he had obviously lost his fighting ability.

"Hehe, the admiral of the navy is really strong. No wonder my sister told me to try to avoid you," Ace said breathlessly, raising his head with difficulty to look at the man in front of him.

"An is right. The world of the strong is still a long way from you, but you can't see it. Impel Down will be your destination."

The cold air surged again, and Kuzan planned to completely freeze Ace.

"Wind Sword·One Sword Style·No Self!"

Kuina in front of Crocodile didn't know when she stood up. Under Crane's gaze, a sharp breath emanated from her body, and the invisible sword intent cut the ice surface, leaving traces of varying sizes.

Sheathing the sword, Kuina closed her eyes tightly, activated her observation Haki to the fullest, felt the breath of Ji Yue, and merged it with herself.

A trace of sword intent entangled her, Kuina suddenly opened and closed her eyes, and suddenly exerted force with her feet, leaving several long cracks on the ice. Her body was parallel to the ice surface, and she shot out at an unbearable speed.
