One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

"Uncle, the one in front is... Kuzan..."

A burly man finished his work and walked behind Borsalino.

"Zhan Taomaru..."

Borsalino nodded in response.

Zhan Taomaru is huge in stature, with the same stocky figure as a wrestler. He wears a red bellyband with three magatama and a pattern in the middle. He has a huge knot around his waist and shorts on his lower body.

Its face and hairstyle are like a girl. There is a seam on the left side of its face from the eye to the corner of its mouth. Its right hand and left foot are wrapped in bandages, and it carries a giant axe on its back.

"He looks like he's at a disadvantage. Should I go and help him?"

Zhan Taomaru asked.

Borsalino was still hesitant at first, as he had not seen enough of this kind of fun, but when he saw Kuzan looking in their direction, he changed his mind.

"Go."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Taowan picked up his axe and rushed over there.

Kuzan was fighting fiercely with Oden at this moment. The surrounding ice, snow and fire were intertwined, and the air was filled with strong murderous intent.

Oden's offensive was fierce, and each attack carried endless power, which made Kuzan feel doubled pressure.

"It's really troublesome..."

Kuzan muttered, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

His ice blades flickered in the air as he rushed towards his enemy's attack, but the opponent's strength was too great and his body was beginning to feel strained.

At this moment, Zhan Taomaru strode over with a huge axe in his hand, with great momentum.

His figure was like a moving mountain, and the giant axe flashed coldly in the sunlight, carrying endless power.

"Kuzan, I'm here to help you!"

Zhan Taomaru shouted, his voice full of joy after not seeing each other for a long time.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Kuzan's eyes. He nodded and quickly adjusted his posture to cooperate with Zhan Taomaru's attack.

Sentaomaru's giant axe seemed to carry a tremendous force as it chopped towards Oden, and a sharp sound of breaking air was heard in the air.

Oden's face changed and he quickly retreated, trying to avoid Zhan Taomaru's attack.

"boom!"

The giant axe struck the ground hard, stirring up a cloud of dust and gravel.

The power of Zhan Taomaru was so strong that it split the place where Oden had been standing into pieces.

Oden lost his balance at the hands of his attack and took a few steps back, away from the tall man.

"Thank you, Sen Taomaru."

Kuzan breathed heavily and looked at Zhan Taomaru who came to support him.

Yutian frowned.

"navy?"

He couldn't think of a reason for the navy to be here.

And it seems that Kuzan is very familiar with those navy men, otherwise they would not let those talents come to help Kuzan as soon as they come.

"Could it be..."

Oden looked at Kuzan, and a thought flashed through his mind that he found hard to believe.

Zhan Taomaru didn't pay much attention to Oden. Looking at Kuzan's miserable appearance, he said with a headache,

"I didn't expect you to be in a tough fight."

"When I was observing you at the training camp, you were the strongest one in that period."

Then, he seemed to remember the mission of this trip and looked around.

"Have you found Lieutenant General Jin An?"

"Also, where did the others go?"

Questions popped out of Zhan Taomaru's mouth one after another, leaving Kuzan at a loss as to how to respond.

"The rest of the people have gone to find Jin An. Enelu and I will be in charge of covering their retreat."

Kuzan gasped and answered,

"Jin'an was fighting Kaido before, but I'm not sure what the situation is now."

Zhan Taomaru recalled the scene when Kaido left Wano Country and nodded.

"So that's it."

Oden on the side had already analyzed a lot of information from Zhan Taomaru's questions.

He regretted it a little.

Looking at Kuzan, he thought to himself that if Kuzan told him his identity when fighting with him, he would choose to join him in resisting Kaido.

The individual strength of the navy may not be strong, but they work together.

Although Wano Country has not joined the World Government, as long as he appeals to their emotions and reason, they might join them in fighting Kaido.

But it's too late to say anything now.

He is now standing on the opposite side of Kuzan, and there is no possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

On the contrary, he had already seen the navy eyeing him and preparing to take action.

Oden's eyes were cold, he clenched the knife in his hand, and a hint of determination flashed through his mind.

He couldn't hesitate any longer and had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Zhan Taomaru also noticed Oden's actions and his eyes became sharp.

He picked up the axe and walked slowly towards Oden, with great momentum.

"Oden, it was a wrong decision for you to become our enemy."

Oden snorted coldly, a hint of unyielding flashed in his eyes.

"Navy, stop interfering too much in Wano Country's affairs!"

Zhan Taomaru stepped forward and looked directly at Oden. This face was very familiar to them, the navy. He first followed Newgate and then followed Roger to the final island.

Kuzan stood aside with a frown on his face. He knew that he had no time to waste on Oden.

"Oden, you have two choices, either surrender or..."

Zhan Taomaru's voice sounded coldly.

With a determined light flashing in Oden's eyes, he took a deep breath and clenched the knife in his hand.

"I will never surrender."

Zhan Taomaru's eyes turned cold, he knew that negotiation was no longer possible.

He raised the great axe and swung it violently, striking Oden directly.

Oden dodged quickly, and his blade drew a sharp arc in the air, meeting Zhan Taomaru's attack.

"clang!"

The blade of the knife and the axe collided in the air, making a deafening sound.

The powerful impact caused both men's bodies to vibrate in the air, but neither of them flinched, and their eyes flashed with endless fighting spirit.

"Do you really think you are invincible in Wano Country?"

Zhan Taomaru said coldly, and swung the giant axe again, chopping towards Oden with heavy force.

"Then give it a try!"

Oden growled and faced towards Zhan Taomaru's attack.

Watching Sen Taomaru fighting with Oden, Kuzan moved, ready to join the battle.

However, a hand grabbed his arm.

"Don't make things worse with your situation."

As soon as the voice fell, Borsalino instantly turned into a beam of light and flashed towards Oden.

"Have you ever been kicked by a light?"

Before he could finish his words, Borsalino kicked out.

Oden tried to resist in a hurry, and his whole body flew sideways and hit a huge rock heavily, causing rocks to fly everywhere.

"Oh, it seems you are seriously injured."

Borsalino said lazily, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Oden pushed away the huge rock that was pressing on him and stood up again with difficulty.

He knew that what Borsalino said was true. Although on the surface he was suppressing Kuzan in the battle with Kuzan, Kuzan's ice ability still caused him a lot of injuries.

He was panting, his face was covered with sweat and blood, but his eyes remained unchanged.

"Navy, what is your purpose here?"

Borsalino shrugged.

"Didn't you hear their conversation before?"

"We're just looking for someone..."

"Besides, you are really stubborn, but that's also a headache."
