"boom!"
Large swathes of ice were rolling upwards at this moment, condensing, rotating, and merging together at extremely fast speeds.
The huge ice lion first outlines the shadow, and then becomes clear.
The mane on his chest flicked, and the flying ice blade bounced back.
Kuzan raised his head and looked at the huge lion that was nearly a hundred meters tall in front of him, with surprise and confusion in his eyes. Then, he looked at the man standing on the lion's head.
"Is this the power of the Piao Piao Fruit?"
Xia Le looked down, and the ice lion raised its hoof and stepped down.
"good!"
Kuzan's pupils shrank and his heart was shocked.
A person with double fruit abilities? !
"It's incredible, you actually ate two fruits."
"No wonder those five old guys value you so much."
Kuzan said solemnly.
Normal people can only eat one fruit. If they swallow the second one, they will explode and die. Even if he got the second powerful fruit, he probably wouldn't have the courage to take the gamble.
"I'm not just strong in fruit abilities!"
As the sound came out, Xia Le's figure swooped down from the lion's head.
Kuzan's eyes narrowed slightly and he jumped up.
"boom!"
The two of them clashed again, and the powerful aftermath of their fists radiated towards the surroundings.
Their eyes met, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
There is no doubt that this is a greeting from a chance encounter between old friends. The way of greeting is a test and understanding of each other's strength.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
They punched one after another, colliding violently with each other, and their bodies also fell on the ice.
At this moment, they seemed to have given up their fruit abilities, focused on and seriously pumping their fists, and were engaged in a duel between physical skills.
"Uh-huh!"
Xia Le dodged and avoided Kuzan's punch, followed by another punch.
Kuzan rushed up and was hit hard on the chin, and his whole body immediately rose into the sky.
But in just a moment, he reacted again, turned his waist, swept his right leg across, and kicked Xia Le in the abdomen.
Decisive and sharp strikes, fast and hearty collisions.
The two old friends were greeting each other in a friendly manner. After a while, blood started to flow from the corner of Kuzan's mouth.
"It's very powerful! What a monster! It can even improve after reaching that level."
Kuzan gritted his teeth and punched the opponent in the face.
Xia Le laughed, not to be outdone, he raised his knee and gave the opponent a knee in the abdomen.
"You're not bad either. You're so domineering."
Kuzan almost vomited out the meal he had eaten not long ago, turned around, and struck back fiercely.
"I can't compare to you. You are so perverted in your knowledge and appearance! You predicted my prediction!"
Xia Le smiled: "Times have really changed, and I can actually fight back and forth."
Kuzan also sneered: "No one will stand still."
"That's true, but this is obviously more interesting."
Xia Le smiled.
The two collided fiercely, setting off whirlwinds on the ice.
Everyone on the Sander stood there quietly and watched.
Different from the previous battle with Hawkeye, the physical duel between the two was obviously more crisp and full of impact.
There is no shock to any attack without the sound of fists hitting flesh.
"A general-level battle!"
Bucky muttered.
He watched the battle with a gleam in his eyes.
Nowadays, he is no longer weak in strength. If he exerts his full strength, he can cause spectacular destructive power.
The combat style has already been defined.
Just like Commander Xia Le, he is strong and has a positive hard-style style.
He loved the pleasure of punching his enemy in the face and watching everything explode.
Silently, Bucky clenched his fists and his eyes changed.
"Shanks, I'm waiting for you to take my punch!"
The battle didn't last long, and the two of them punched each other hard, making the sea seem like thunder.
After a moment, the two made a sound and sat cross-legged side by side on the ice.
"Xia Le, you are such a bastard!"
Kuzan yelled angrily.
"Hahahahaha!"
"I'm sorry, I can't avenge you back then!"
Xia Le smiled.
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Kuzan suddenly said with a gloomy expression, slowly raised his head and looked at the man beside him.
"You walked out of Impel Down City at such a coincidental time, so you were in that position, right?"
Xia Le was startled for a moment, then understood.
"Are you talking about the retirement of the Warring States Marshal?"
Kuzan nodded: "Of course!"
"This kind of thing is not a secret."
Xia Le smiled lightly and said: "The lazy justice in you is not suitable for being a marshal!"
Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then began to think carefully.
After a while, he suddenly sighed: "I'm a little tired from sitting. I'll lie down for a while."
Then, he fell down and lay on the ice.
"A guy like you shouldn't have to worry about the world, just lie down."
Xia Le shook his head and smiled.
Kuzan seemed too lazy to pay attention to him and closed his eyes.
"If you want to sleep, go sleep on my boat."
"I have ice-cold drinks, sumptuous food, and mellow wine."
Xia Le said again.
Kuzan opened his eyes suddenly, then walked towards his bicycle, put it on his shoulders, and after taking a few steps, he looked back in confusion.
"What are you waiting for?"
Xia Le couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, Kuzan lay lazily on the beach chair, feeling the sea breeze blowing, and couldn't help but squint his eyes in enjoyment.
"Compared to riding a bicycle and running around hard, it's more comfortable to take a smooth sailing boat!"
Said with satisfaction, Kuzan sighed in his heart.
From his words, you can also hear the guy's happy mood at the moment.
"That's natural."
"But it's such a surprise to meet you on this sea!"
Xia Le smiled.
"It's not an accident. I'm here to perform a mission."
"On an unnamed island not far away, a group of Pinming who were shipwrecked were trapped there."
Kuzan said lazily.
"You are quite enthusiastic!"
Xia Le sighed.
Kuzan curled his lips and turned his head away.
He had already removed the ice layer on the ship and the surrounding sea, so the warship could travel unimpeded.
After a while, a snoring sound echoed from the beach chair.
Xia Le looked at his old friend sleeping on the pillow and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"After so many years, you are becoming more and more lazy."
Compared with the passionate and positive look when they first met, Kuzan now is simply two extremes.
Then, he looked at Crocodile in front of him holding a phone bug.
After a while, with a busy tone, the phone was connected.
"······"
Silence, endless silence.
The person on the other side of the phone doesn't seem to be good at speaking up.
"Sasi ignores Dana, Barrett!"
Crocodile said with a slight smile.
"Lao Sha?"
The low voice seemed a little surprised.
But soon, it became gloomy again.
"Aren't you having fun playing your pirate game?"
"His Majesty Qibukai, what a good name!"
"How come you have time to come to me?"
The cold words were mixed with a little ridicule.
"I heard that your temper is getting worse and worse, and you have angered many young people."
"Now it seems that he is really angry!"
Crocodile joked.
"Those brats, when I have time, I will catch them all!"
"How dare you defect to Xihai!"
"Do you think I, Barrett, am easy to bully?"
The angry voice came, immediately making Bucky, Rosinandi and a group of young people shiver.
Obviously, Barrett's majesty and terror were only inferior to Commander Xia Le in their hearts.
In charge of military affairs, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xihai is not a gentle man.
"Stop talking nonsense, you came to me suddenly, what's the matter?"
"Let me make it clear first, I am not in the mood to help a pirate!"
Barrett said coldly.
"Such words come from your mouth, it really surprises me!"
Crocodile laughed.
"snort!"
Barrett snorted coldly.
He naturally understood what the other party meant, but his years of naval career had made him completely accustomed to his own identity, and he even enjoyed this feeling.
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
"I am contacting you this time for only one thing."
Crocodile's voice suddenly became low and serious, and at the same time he raised his head and glanced at Xia Le, who was sitting opposite.
"explain!"
Barrett said.
"That man, he's back!"
Crocodile said slowly.
"That man? Who?"
Barrett was shocked and asked in a deep voice.
"Who else could it be?"
Crocodile laughed.
"Lao Sha!!"
"I don't have time to joke with you on this issue!"
Barrett roared.
At this moment, another voice suddenly came from the phone bug.
"Barrett!"
"It's really been a long time since I last saw you!"
There was some emotion in the words, but they were filled with a familiar flavor to him.
For a moment, Barrett's strong body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he was stunned.
It wasn't until a long, long time later that he said in a trembling voice.
"Xia Le?!"
Xia Le smiled: "Who else could it be?"
"you are still alive!!"
"You're actually alive!"
Barrett yelled.
But this is not anger, but excitement, excitement and excitement.
Even the roar made the soldiers guarding the corridor tremble.
"Of course I'm alive!"
"You seem to have forgotten that I will not die!"
Xia Le smiled.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Three good ones in a row, Barrett was venting his emotions.
Then, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's good to be alive!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing if you still have the ability to lead us on!"
Xia Le also heard a familiar flavor from this sentence and couldn't help but laugh.
"It will not let you down!"
Then, after a slight pause, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Are you interested in doing something big?"
Upon hearing this, Barrett fell silent at first, and then his pupils contracted.
He was very sure that the big thing this man was talking about when he suddenly showed up must be no small matter.
Taking a deep breath, Barrett exhaled.
"Talk about it!"
Xia Le grinned.
"Let's get rid of the white beard together."
"How about it?"
