"These people are my friends, can you please let them go?"
The man standing on the branch is none other than one of the strongest combat forces of the Navy Headquarters.
Green pheasant...
Kuzan!
Although Garp's defeat was beyond his expectation, Hashirama's physical strength was almost exhausted.
In addition, Kuzan himself is full of confidence in his own strength.
So much so that now he looked down at Hashirama with an attitude that could be said to be an understatement.
The tone was not only indifferent, but also very calm.
He looked like he was harmless to humans and animals.
But Hashirama can feel it...
Kuzan exudes strong confidence.
"Are you a marine too?"
Hashirama ignored Kuzan's request and asked him his identity, while getting into a fighting stance.
No matter what, he is the first Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village.
Even though he didn't have much physical strength left, he didn't show any timidity.
Hearing this, Kuzan nodded slightly, indicating that Hashirama's guess was not wrong.
He is a member of the navy.
"Although I don't know what happened here, I don't want to hurt you, little brother."
"Let these people go."
"I can pretend nothing happened."
Kuzan said without thinking.
In fact, Kuzan did not follow Garp to this island.
He originally planned to ride his bicycle back to the Navy Headquarters on the sea.
But halfway through, I felt Garp's domineering power.
Moreover, he has a very powerful overlord-colored domineering spirit.
This was really beyond Kuzan's expectation.
After a slight hesitation, he changed his route and headed towards Garp's location.
When he arrived here, he happened to see Garp lying in the pit, and countless naval soldiers were restrained by the tree boundary between the pillars.
Based on this relationship, Kuzan speculated that Hashirama should be a Devil Fruit user like himself.
If Hashirama was in his prime, he might not be his opponent.
But now, he doesn't have much physical strength to fight anymore.
As for Hizashi and others who were watching.
Kuzan couldn't feel the aura of a strong person from them.
As long as he wants to, he can kill everyone here in an instant.
It is precisely because of this confidence.
He would only say words to Hashirama, not wanting to hurt the other person.
But these words made Hashirama look startled.
Of course, Hashirama soon regained his composure.
The corners of his mouth raised, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, and then shook his head slightly.
"You must be a Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters."
Hashirama couldn't help but ask.
Because of the experience of fighting Garp, preconceptions have been implanted in Hashirama's brain.
A man with such a strong aura.
At least he must be at the level of Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
However……
What Kuzan said next was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Sorry, little brother."
"I am not a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."
Kuzan paused slightly and his voice became deeper.
"I am the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
No one expected that the admiral of the Navy Headquarters would suddenly appear here.
The navy soldiers who were imprisoned in the tree trunks felt like they had been given a slap in the face.
"What's going on, Admiral? Why is the Admiral here?"
"This voice...is it Mr. Kuzan?"
"Hahaha, we are saved. If it is General Aokiji, he will definitely be able to deal with these ninjas!"
The navy soldiers couldn't help but started talking.
They were all feeling hopeless a moment ago, but now they were all smiling.
In their opinion, as long as Kuzan takes action.
There is no way these ninjas can be his opponents!
Kebi and Belumeb both rolled their throats and swallowed nervously.
Obviously he didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
"It turned out to be Admiral..."
"It's great, it's really great."
Soon, not only did the two of them speak excitedly, but they also shed excited tears from the corners of their eyes.
Instead, it was Garp lying in the pit.
Although he was not surprised that Kuzan would appear here, considering that this was the country of Fire.
Even if Hashirama doesn't have much physical strength anymore.
There may also be strong people who are not weaker than him who will come to support him.
Even Kuzan cannot underestimate the enemy.
However, Garp's physical strength has not recovered at all.
There was no sound at all to alert Kuzan.
The only thing he can do now is to use the time when Kuzan appears to recover his physical strength as soon as possible.
the other side……
Hizashi and others were completely dumbfounded.
When Kuzan appeared, they were extremely shocked.
Many people are from the Uchiha clan and are geniuses who have opened the Three Magatama Sharingan.
But none of them found Kuzan.
If Kuzan hadn't revealed his identity and location.
I'm afraid they all encountered poisonous hands and may not be able to find each other.
From all aspects, it is not difficult to see that Kuzan is a first-rate master.
but……
The only thing they didn't expect was that Kuzan in front of them was the general of the Navy Headquarters!
Everyone's eyes were as wide as a cow's eyes.
Hizashi's eyes rolled, and he was shaken wildly.
He kept looking at Kuzan.
The strength of Lieutenant General Garp alone was beyond his knowledge.
It made him feel quite powerless.
Unexpectedly, a general from the Navy Headquarters would appear on the border of the Kingdom of Fire!
A stronger existence than Garp!
"Why do the powerful men from the Navy Headquarters appear here one after another..."
Hizashi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Relative to Kuzan's strength.
In his heart, he was more worried about another thing.
That is, since the admiral of the Navy Headquarters will suddenly appear, after that...
Will there be other navies landing?
Will an all-out war break out between the Kingdom of Fire and the Navy Headquarters?
The most important thing is that the Navy Headquarters cannot have only one Admiral or Vice Admiral, right?
Even their Hokages now have five.
Maybe the general and the lieutenant general would form a team of at least dozens of people.
Once a full-scale war breaks out, it is simply unthinkable.
Perhaps, listening to Kuzan's words here, letting the navy go, and letting them leave, would be an option.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Hizashi couldn't help but shake his head.
After all, they still know too little about the navy.
Lack of sufficient intelligence.
It is not difficult to let these navy soldiers go.
But no one can tell whether they will come out again.
and……
They now have all the information about Hashirama, the ninja god.
Wooden Man's Technique, Wooden Dragon's Technique, Sage Mode and True Thousands of Hands.
Everything is exposed!
Just when Hizashi was having a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Hashirama has already given the answer.
He looked at Kuzan standing on the branch, and then shook his head firmly.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to comply with this matter."
Hashirama stood there, recovering as much strength as possible.
Naturally, he knew nothing about the admiral in front of him.
He couldn't even feel the depth of the opponent's strength.
But once I give in here.
It will only make the Navy Headquarters look down on the Country of Fire.
and……
Now, I am not really at a dead end.
Although all his physical strength was used to defeat Garp.
But the overlord-like domineering force that Garp just unleashed must have been noticed by more than just Kuzan.
The Japanese style in Konoha Hidden Village.
I must have felt that aura too.
Maybe Zefeng is on his way.
What he has to do is to buy time for Hefeng.
"Even if the admiral is stronger than Garp."
"Zhefeng will definitely win too."
Hashirama thought to himself.
He finally made up his mind to hold Kuzan back no matter what.
It has to be said that Hashirama's answer somewhat surprised Kuzan.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Then, he took a step forward.
The whole person fell freely from the branch.
Snap!
In the space of a breath, Kuzan landed smoothly.
His hands were still in his trouser pockets, with no intention of taking them out.
"Bro."
As he spoke, Kuzan took steps towards Hashirama.
"You shouldn't have much physical strength now, right?"
"Although I don't know how you defeated Mr. Garp, you should be able to feel from the previous confrontation that you are no match for me now."
"Even so, do you still want to fight me?"
Kuzan asked Hashirama in return.
Hopefully he will recognize the gap between the two sides.
No matter what, Kuzan has no interest in killing or fighting.
If a battle can be avoided, everyone will be happy.
But even if Kuzan said it for this reason.
Hashirama still stood there firmly like a nail.
He didn't take Kuzan's words seriously at all.
"I am the first Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village."
"How can you compromise with the enemy?"
"If you want to take these people away, you have to defeat me."
Hashirama's voice was not high, but his tone was sonorous and powerful.
Clearly ready for battle.
"Oh My God……"
Kuzan sighed helplessly.
I thought that the ice bird that had just been released could dispel the other party's courage to fight against me.
did not expect……
The man in front of him had such a determined attitude.
"It seems that we have to fight, little brother."
"Then please give me some advice."
While speaking, Kuzan decisively activated his ability, and a burst of cold air burst out from his body.
Not only did his body form frost that was visible to the naked eye.
The ground beneath his feet also turned into ice.
The surrounding temperature began to drop crazily.
The pillars not far away felt a chill.
It's as if here, it transitions directly from summer to winter.
but……
Kuzan's ability is not just as simple as lowering the temperature.
The ice formed on the ground continued to spread towards the pillars.
Hashirama frowned slightly, feeling a sense of hostility from what was extending over him.
This ice surface is not as simple as it seems.
Almost as an instinctive reaction of the body, Hashirama kicked his feet hard and retreated quickly.
The result was just as he expected.
I just backed out.
A sharp sword suddenly thrust out from the place where he had stepped on it.
If you don't make your own judgment in time, you will definitely be caught off guard by the opponent's attack.
But then, various weapons thrust out from the ice.
sword.
Spear.
Ice pick.
One after another, they pursued Hashirama.
"This guy……"
Hashirama looked at the attack methods that were chasing him, and then glanced up at Kuzan.
Although chakra cannot be felt from Kuzan, and from this, it can be judged that he is not using ninjutsu, Hashirama can also be sure of one thing.
That's Kuzan's move, which is quite difficult.
He just stood there with his hands in his pockets.
can unleash such a powerful attack method.
Admiral of the Navy Headquarters...
It's really scary.
Coupled with Hashirama's physical strength, there wasn't much left.
Not much chakra can be extracted at all.
Facing Kuzan's pursuit, he could only keep dodging.
certainly……
In the process of dodging, Hashirama tried to conserve his existing physical strength.
And on this basis, restore the lost physical strength.
the other side……
Hizashi also saw Hashirama's disadvantage.
"If Hashirama-sama was in his prime, he would never be in such a mess."
"But now, in order to defeat Garp, he has consumed almost all his chakra."
He was worried that if Kuzan continued, he would endanger Hashirama's life.
Hizashi couldn't care less about anything else.
He had no choice but to activate his Devil Fruit power again and enter the beastman form.
He took a deep breath, then held it.
Although the Marines don't have the Byakugan and can't sense Chakra like themselves, they do have the same Haki as themselves.
Moreover, the domineering power of Lieutenant General Garp alone is quite terrifying.
If it were Kuzan, his power of knowledge and color would definitely be strong rather than weak.
Based on this, even if he launches a surprise attack suddenly.
I'm afraid the other party will notice it immediately.
"We can only fight..."
Hizashi thought to himself.
Both feet step on the ground continuously.
Use the explosive force generated to eject your body.
"shave!"
He silently recited the name of the move in his mind, and his whole body disappeared in an instant.
The speed was so fast that the Uchiha who got out of the way of the three Magatama Sharingan did not have time to react.
By the time they realized Hizashi was missing.
Hizashi had already rushed behind Kuzan.
However……
Even in the orc form, Hizashi's size is only about the same as Kuzan's.
"What's going on with the Navy guys? Why are they all so tall..."
Hizashi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
But the movements on his hands were extremely sharp.
He pointed his index finger at Kuzan's back and fired his gun instantly.
I don't know if Kuzan didn't notice Hizashi or if he didn't have time to activate his Haki.
Facing Hizashi's attack.
He was still standing where he was, with his hands in his pockets.
There was neither dodge nor defense.
Bang!
Even with a sound, the gun pointed by Hizashi penetrated Kuzan's body directly.
A clear cavity from front to back was left.
"What?!"
Hizashi's eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect that his sneak attack would be successful!
