"Brother, sometimes being flexible is not a bad thing."
Seeing Hashirama's firm attitude, Kuzan couldn't help but feel helpless.
There have been no casualties on either side so far.
And he had the absolute upper hand.
It is obviously the best solution for both parties to take a step back at this time.
However, Hashirama is a stick.
Unwilling to make concessions.
"I don't know how you defeated Mr. Garp, but in this situation, you have no chance of winning, little brother."
As he spoke, Kuzan stepped forward and approached Hashirama.
In addition to the tall admiral, there was also a powerful aura sweeping towards Hashirama.
"What a strong aura..."
It was Hashirama who was around. After feeling this aura, they couldn't help but make such a comment.
but……
His gaze was still extremely firm.
There was no wavering emotion at all because of Kuzan's aura.
"Fortunately, the chakra has almost recovered."
Hashirama thought to himself.
Hizashi's sudden attack just now, although he was instantly killed by Kuzan, still bought him some time.
This allowed him to recover some of his strength.
Even if this level of chakra is not enough to defeat a strong man like Kuzan, it can at least allow him to persist a little longer.
All that's left is prayer.
Zephyr was able to notice here faster.
Showed up just in time.
Snap!
Hashirama, who was ready for realization, raised his hands again and put them together.
The sound is crisp and loud.
His eyes were also slightly closed.
Feel the natural energy around you.
Then, Hashirama absorbed the surrounding natural energy without any scruples.
It complements the chakra in his own body to extract extremely high-quality senjutsu chakra.
Kuzan raised his eyebrows when he saw Hashirama's appearance.
He couldn't feel the slightest hostility from Hashirama's body.
You can't tell anything from his actions.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Kuzan felt that he could not understand Hashirama's behavior at all.
"Are you praying for a miracle..."
Kuzan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Because Hashirama's action of clasping his hands together really looked like a prayer.
But just then...
Kebi, who noticed Hashirama's movements, had a premonition that something was not going to happen. He took a deep breath, mustered up all the strength in his body, and yelled at Kuzan.
"General Qing Pheasant, stop him quickly!"
"Otherwise, something terrible will happen!"
Originally, when Hashirama and Garp fought, the strength of both sides could be said to be about the same.
But when Hashirama made such an action, his strength began to increase exponentially.
And finally defeated Garp!
Although Kebi could never understand what moves Hashirama used.
But he understands that once Hashirama succeeds again, he will gain more power than now!
Maybe even Kuzan will be hard to deal with!
For safety reasons, it is obviously the most correct choice to prevent Hashirama from entering that state!
It’s just that Kebi now finds it difficult to accept Hashirama.
Even if he uses the Six Styles of Shave, he won't be able to rush over in time.
We can only place our hope on Kuzan.
But……
Although Kuzan heard Kebi's words, he had no idea of stopping Hashirama.
On the one hand, he himself is quite lazy.
Even when fighting, he rarely takes it seriously.
Let alone face Hashirama, an opponent who doesn't even have much physical strength.
On the other hand, Kuzan was also curious about Hashirama's actions.
Especially after hearing Kebi's words, he really wanted to see what kind of abilities Hashirama had.
After all, Kuzan is quite confident in his own strength.
If he didn't have such a mentality, he wouldn't have become the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters!
A strong person is always confident!
Kuzan even stopped walking towards Hashirama, his hands still in his pockets.
Watching Hashirama's every move quietly.
Let him absorb the natural energy around him.
After about three or four breaths, black lines appeared on Hashirama's forehead and at the corners of his eyes.
On the contrary, it was Kebi who supported his body and forcibly stood up from the ground.
No matter what, he didn't want Hashirama to enter that strange state again.
He stepped on the ground continuously with both feet.
Use the explosive force generated by pedaling to propel your body.
"shave!"
With Kebi's low roar, the ground beneath his feet suddenly became torn apart.
The terrifying reaction force ejected him.
It looked like it had disappeared in an instant.
When Kebi's figure became clearly visible again.
He had already rushed to Hashirama's side.
However……
One bad move!
At this time, Hashirama has absorbed enough natural energy and officially entered the sage mode.
He was completely aware of Kebi's every move.
Snap!
Hashirama didn't even open his eyes before he grabbed Kirby's calf with his backhand.
Of course, Hashirama had no intention of harming the young marine.
With just a little force, he threw Kerby away like trash.
At the same time, Hashirama's eyes focused on Kuzan.
In his opinion, except for Garp who was exhausted and lying on the ground.
In the entire navy, only Kuzan is qualified to go all out.
"Come on, Aokiji!"
It is worth mentioning that Hashirama does not know Kuzan's real name.
The other party also has no habit of reporting his/her family name.
Therefore, Hashirama used the term Kebi for Kuzan.
Call him Green Pheasant.
And Kuzan also felt the high fighting spirit from Hashirama.
There was a hint of difference in his eyes.
However, such fighting spirit did not give Kuzan any thought of retreating.
On the contrary, Kuzan's attitude towards this battle was a little more serious.
A wave of cold air invaded Hashirama.
The ground between the two was completely frozen.
At a glance, it seemed as if the two of them were on the frozen lake.
"The art of the wooden man!"
I was worried that like Hizashi, I would be caught by the cold air and freeze into ice.
Hashirama quickly joined his hands.
Activate the Wood Release Ninjutsu.
The thick vines like arms break the air conditioning of Kuzan and intertwine with each other to form various parts of the wooden figure.
In just a few breaths, the tall wooden man rose from the ground.
The face is ferocious, not angry but self-defeating.
Hashirama stood on Bokuto's shoulders and concentrated his chakra on the soles of his feet.
Adsorbed on the wooden figure.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to better observe Kuzan's actions.
Then, the wooden man under him took crazy steps and rushed towards Kuzan.
But even so, Kuzan still stood calmly.
There was no emotion in his expression.
He could feel the strength of Mu Ren.
However, such moves were nothing in Kuzan's eyes.
Seeing that Hashirama was far away from the ground, he controlled the air conditioning and wrapped it around the wooden figure.
"Whether it's a living thing or a lifeless mountain or sea."
"Without my ability, there is no existence that can be frozen."
Kuzan said lightly.
It seemed like he was just introducing his abilities to Hashirama.
The next second, the temperature of the air conditioner continued to drop, wrapping the wooden man's lower body.
First, crystals like frost appeared on the wooden figure.
Immediately afterwards, this layer of crystals became thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Hashirama reacted, the wooden figure under his feet was frozen to the core by Kuzan's air-conditioning.
】
I can't move forward any further!
"What?"
Hashirama was completely unprepared for this sudden turn of events.
He glanced down subconsciously.
I thought that my wooden figure could use its own brute force to defeat Kuzan's ability.
Unexpectedly, Kuzan's ability was even better.
Even though he is his own puppet, he cannot resist.
Look at Kuzan's calm and unhurried look again.
His physical strength seemed to have not been lost at all.
"It's hard to imagine where this guy's limit is."
Hashirama couldn't help but complain in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Kuzan was an admiral.
And Garp is just a lieutenant general.
It is true that Garp's fists, kicks, and domineering spirit have been cultivated to the extreme.
But Kuzan's weird ability is even more troublesome.
Actually...
The main problem is that Hashirama suffers from the fact that he has just been resurrected and is not yet domineering.
And lack of sufficient understanding of devil fruit ability users.
In the absence of domineering means.
The elementalization of natural fruit ability users can be said to be a rather difficult combat method.
but……
Hashirama did not despair.
From the beginning, he didn't think he could defeat Kuzan.
All he wants to do is delay time.
After seeing that the wooden figure under his feet could not move, Hashirama simply put his hands together again.
"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"
Since the wooden man cannot walk on the ground.
Then use the wooden dragon's flying ability.
Come and deal with Kuzan!
In an instant, the earth shook again.
The ice created by Kuzan's ability was once again broken by vines.
With the help of the quality of senjutsu chakra.
The wooden dragon created by Hashirama this time was not only more powerful, but also larger in size.
But unfortunately...
"Although I have successfully entered the sage mode now, my own chakra cannot release a technique like the True Thousand Hands."
"This wooden man, wooden dragon, is almost my limit now."
Hashirama thought to himself.
At the same time, he kicked hard with both feet, abandoned the wooden man, and jumped onto the wooden dragon.
Kuzan was not surprised at all by Hashirama's judgment.
No matter how terrifying the wooden man is.
As long as you can't get rid of your own abilities.
If he can't get close to himself, then his power has no meaning.
"Brother, your approach is indeed wise."
"But it's a pity..."
"My abilities are not limited to the ground."
"Even the sky is my domain."
As Kuzan finished speaking.
The cold air immediately enveloped Mu Long.
Before he could breathe, frost crystals exactly like those on the wooden man appeared on the wooden dragon's body.
Its flying speed was also affected by Kuzan's ability and became slower.
Not only that……
This cold air spread upwards and invaded the pillars.
In an attempt to turn Hashirama into a statue like Hizashi.
During the entire process, Kuzan did not move his feet.
He just stood there.
He looked up at Hashirama.
His hands were still in his pockets.
It is no exaggeration to say that Kuzan's performance can be described as relaxed and comfortable.
If he hadn't known it in advance, this ability belonged to Kuzan.
Anyone who saw it would think that Kuzan was just watching the battle silently.
even……
None of the Konoha ninjas on the edge of the pit expected that the situation would develop to this point.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Peng Peng's heartbeat also accelerated.
An ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
"It's a lie. As the god of ninja, Hashirama-sama was completely suppressed."
"This is the strength of the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. This is too exaggerated."
"How to deal with that weird ability? Even if it is ninjutsu, it requires both hands to form seals, and the range of release will not be too exaggerated. But his ability is as if the sky and the earth belong to him. stage."
"And even now, he has his hands in his pockets and doesn't look like he's serious at all."
"Don't forget, these marines are just like us, they all know the Six Styles, they are domineering people."
"Yes, even Lieutenant General Garp knows the Six Styles and Haki. There is no way this general can't..."
"Maybe his Six Styles and Haki are stronger."
For a moment, the Konoha ninjas couldn't help but started talking.
The more they discussed, the heavier their moods became.
In their eyes, Kuzan's abilities were not only extremely weird.
And there are no flaws.
Even the most powerful ninjutsu has its weaknesses.
But they couldn't imagine what kind of weaknesses Kuzan's abilities would have!
Moreover, Kuzan seems to have not yet shown his true trump card.
Look at Hashirama again...
He is the famous ninja god.
Now the fairy mode is turned on again.
But there was still no chance to fight back.
No……
Don't say anything to fight back.
It is now difficult for Hashirama to even approach Kuzan, the naval admiral!
All Konoha ninjas couldn't help but feel a little desperate in their hearts.
The reaction of the naval soldiers was in sharp contrast to them.
Their expressions were so ugly at this time.
These navy soldiers are so excited.
Many people couldn't help but cheer.
Cheers to Kuzan.
As for Hashirama.
He couldn't help but start to grit his teeth.
In a few seconds at most, the wooden dragon will be completely frozen by Kuzan's ability.
In theory, it can counter Kuzan's Fire Release.
Hashirama is not good at it yet.
"If Madara Uchiha were here at this time..."
For a moment, Hashirama couldn't help but think of his former friends.
Speaking of the ninja world, the owner of the strongest fire escape is undoubtedly Madara Uchiha.
And his Xuzuo Nenghu can definitely restrain Kuzan's ability.
However……
Uchiha Madara is no longer alive.
He must rely on his own strength to face Kuzan.
"call……"
Thinking of this, Hashirama couldn't help but let out a long breath.
