Pirates: The Scientist Who Became the Ultimate Lifeform.

While Sakaski and his team were fighting with Donli and his team, Kuzan also started fighting with Duke far away from the students.

In the desert, the effect of Aokiji's ice fruit is very limited.

There is not much water in the desert, which makes it very difficult for Kuzan to make ice. He can only use his own physical strength to condense ice.

But Kuzan is not just an ordinary navy officer, he is one of the three future admirals.

Even though his ice fruit was severely weakened in the desert, his own strength was not weak.

Kuzan does not value his own devil fruit as much as Kizaru. Kuzan has the same balanced development as Sakaski.

However, he is still too young now. He has just mastered the Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and his strength is just at the level of major general.

Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air. He knew that in this situation he could only rely on his physical skills to attack as much as possible.

"ice skates."

Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air, and an ice knife formed in his hand.

His body moved quickly on the sand using the Moon Step, and Duke closed his eyes when he saw this.

His observation Haki is more useful than his naked eyes, and his observation Haki is much stronger than Kuzan's.

Duke suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the air. In an instant, the space in front of him was scratched by Duke as if it were a piece of paper.

This is exactly what happened when Duke compressed the space in front of him. When Duke compressed the space, Kuzan's figure also emerged a few meters away from him.

Kuzan could feel the air around him being compressed and sucked away rapidly, and even his body involuntarily leaned towards the opponent's right hand.

He quickly threw the ice blade in his hand, and it stabbed Duke's right palm and shattered into ice.

Duke's right hand was covered with armed color domineering, and the ice blade had no injuries, but because of the ice blade, Duke stopped compressing the space.

Kuzan also took this opportunity to break away from Duke's control and quickly retreated.

Kuzan's face was solemn. He didn't expect that the giant in front of him was actually a devil fruit user.

"puck."

Kuzan released five icicles from his hands and shot towards Duke. The icicles intertwined and directly wrapped Duke's body to form a huge ice ball.

But then, in Kuzan's incredulous eyes, his ice hockey was instantly sucked into Duke's hands and turned into an ice hockey ball with a diameter of one meter.

Duke suddenly threw the puck in his hand towards Kuzan. Because Duke's strength was too great, the puck moved very fast, so Kuzan had no time to dodge.

He wanted to use the power of his ice fruit to control the ice ball that was hitting him.

But the compression force of the ice ball isolated Kuzan's fruit ability, and there was no way out. Several ice spears appeared beside Kuzan, which were the "two thorn spears".

Several huge ice spears quickly stabbed towards the ice ball.

But the moment Kuzan's ice spear collided with the ice ball, he was directly sucked into it.

That’s right, this ice ball is Duke’s black hole bomb.

However, Kuzan had already discovered the shortcomings of the black hole bomb.

Kuzan turned his body into elements, and then the black hole bomb blew Kuzan's body into pieces, but Kuzan's body reassembled and appeared in the original place again.

That’s right, the black hole bomb does not carry the armed color domineering.

Therefore, Kuzan only needs to transform into an element to avoid the huge explosion caused by the black hole bomb.

Then a large amount of freezing power covered Kuzan's right arm.

"Violent pheasant mouth!"

As Kuzan swung his fist, a huge ice bird made of ice flew towards Duke quickly with a powerful impact force.

Even the scorching sand along the way was frozen into ice.

Duke's face darkened. He could feel that this move contained extraordinary power.

Duke exerted all his compression power, and in an instant the space within a hundred meters around Duke was compressed.

Duke put his two palms together, and then countless grains of sand poured into the black hole in Duke's palms, and a yellow black hole bomb appeared between his palms.

Duke threw the black hole bomb in his hand as if he was throwing a bomb.

In an instant, the huge ice bird collided with the black hole bomb made of sand, and ice cubes splashed and sand flew everywhere.

For a moment, a big hole was blown out in the center of the battlefield between the two. This time the attacks of both sides were evenly matched!

But just as the battlefield was covered with sand and ice, Kuzan's figure suddenly appeared behind Duke.

Kuzan came behind Duke through the broken ice.

His fist was covered with icy cold and armed color domineering, and he punched Duke's body with all his strength.

At this time, Duke also used his observation Haki to sense Kuzan's movements, and he kicked hard behind him.

The armed color domineering covered his feet with powerful force and collided directly with Kuzan's fist. Kuzan had no power to resist and was kicked away.

This was completely different from what Kuzan had imagined. The opponent's power was much stronger than his.

The right arm that collided with Duke's foot was instantly twisted and deformed due to the powerful force of Duke's foot.

Duke carried the Armament Haki on his legs, which directly caused real damage to Kuzan.

Kuzan's body was swept by a powerful force and smashed quickly into a sand dune.

However, just a second before crashing into the sand dune, Kuzan completely elementalized his body to avoid the secondary damage caused by the impact.

Kuzan's figure reassembled on the sand dune, sweat continuously dripping from his forehead. Kuzan endured the pain and forced his right arm bones to straighten.

Not only is Kuzan unable to exert his full strength due to the desert restrictions of the Ice Fruit, but his physical strength is also far inferior to Duke's.

You have to know that Duke’s true form is a 60-meter-tall demon!

Its power is even stronger than Dongli and Broki.

And with the bonus of the Compression Fruit, his strength is even stronger than Donli and Broki alone.

Kuzan is only 20 years old now and has only been in the Navy training camp for a year. The gap in strength between the two sides is really too big.

However, the only thing Duke is weaker than Kuzan is his movement speed.

Although Duke's size was compressed several times, his body mass did not change.

So his own speed is not that fast and Kuzan is only faster than Duke now.

So in the following battle, Kuzan kept struggling with Duke.

Even though Duke's attack power is very strong, it will be useless if he can't hit Kuzan.

Looking at Kuzan who was as agile as a monkey, Duke's face showed a trace of anger.

Speed ​​is indeed one of his biggest weaknesses, but that doesn't mean he has no way to make up for it.

The devil fruit gave him the ability to change his own shortcomings.

Duke applied the compressed force under his feet and released it instantly.

The powerful impact force greatly improved Duke's movement speed. At this time, Kuzan no longer had any advantage over Duke.

Under Duke's suppression, Kuzan was in danger and was on the verge of life and death.

Kuzan knew that he couldn't go on like this. If he continued to be suppressed, he would definitely be killed by the other side.

Kuzan suddenly used his Pheasant Mouth again to force back Duke's attack. He exhaled deeply and pressed his hands to the ground.

"Frozen time capsule."

In an instant, countless ice cubes spread from Kuzan's palms, and huge ice cubes appeared in the desert.

Kuzan relied on his own physical strength to forcefully use his most powerful ultimate move in the desert.

Releases a cold air shockwave from a long distance to instantly freeze the opponent, freezing everything in its path.

The desert within a radius of one kilometer was frozen in an instant, and even Duke was frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold air.

Kuzan sat somewhat exhausted on a sand dune that had been frozen into an iceberg.

Just when Kuzan thought he had won the victory, cracks began to appear on the huge ice sculpture.

A huge hand suddenly stretched out from the ice sculpture, and then Duke's body in the ice quickly grew larger.

Duke's enlarged body instantly broke the ice. Kuzan looked at the huge 60-meter-tall demon in front of him with despair in his eyes.

Duke exhaled a breath of cold air, his eyes flashing with rage. He had not expected that the other party had hidden such a powerful skill, which almost froze his body inside.

Fortunately, his physique was very strong and he was not completely frozen.

He raised his huge fist in anger and swung it at Kuzan, who was sitting exhausted on the sand dune.

At this moment, a powerful shock wave suddenly rushed over from a distance and hit Duke.

At this moment, even Duke's 60-meter huge body was blown hundreds of meters away by this powerful shock wave.

That’s right, this shock wave is exactly the one used by Dongli and Broki!
