## Chapter 632: A Sudden Lightning Storm!
Kuzan didn't really use Ice Blades much.
Although he was a Sword Master, he wasn't very interested in Swordsmanship, which was quite similar to Sakazuki in this regard.
Both of them gave up on Swordsmanship Cultivation after eating a Devil Fruit.
Borsalino, on the other hand.
Even after eating the Glint-Glint Fruit, he would still set aside a little Time each day to swing his Light Sword a few times, and thus naturally became a Great Swordsman.
The reason Kuzan chose to attack Heimalin with an Ice Blade this time was because he sensed that the Black Mist and Scales/Armor on the latter had extraordinary Defense.
So, in order to Break Defense more easily, he thought of using a Sword Master's Slash combined with Armament Haki Hardening and Internal Destruction.
As expected.
With one Slash, he successfully drew blood!
"Ara la, the Wound seems a bit small..."
Kuzan saw that although the Great Marlin that had fallen into the Great Sea was crying out in pain repeatedly.
It still looked full of life, and he knew that his attack hadn't caused much damage.
Clearly, a Slash at the Sword Master Rank could only break through its surface Defense; it was somewhat insufficient for penetrating deeper.
"How dare you injure This King, you deserve ten thousand Deaths!!"
Heimalin felt the pain it hadn't felt for nearly a thousand Years, and the Anger in its Heart erupted uncontrollably.
At the same Time.
The entire East Blue seemed to be responding to its Rage, beginning to boil in large areas.
At the same Time, a large amount of Black Mist spread from its Body, dyeing every Wave a dark black color.
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Like Mines exploding underwater, instantly, hundreds, even thousands of Black Water Pillars rose high.
With astonishing Speed exceeding the Speed of Sound, amidst the huge sounds of Sound Bursts, they bombarded the Ice Crystal Great Bird Form in the High Altitude.
The Momentum of this Scene was extremely vast, and the Scene looked incredibly spectacular.
However.
Kuzan's expression was calm in the face of such an incoming Offensive, only the Cold Air on his Body grew denser in silence.
He didn't immediately use his Ability to Resist or counterattack.
Instead, he controlled the 'Ice Age' beneath him to constantly dodge the Black Water Cannons shooting up.
Yes, in Kuzan's opinion, the Power of these Water Pillars far exceeded that of Heavy Howitzers, and calling them Water Cannons was perfectly fine.
However, no Matter how great the Power, if they couldn't hit, they wouldn't cause any damage.
Under the Effect of his Advanced Observation Haki at the 'Future Sight' Rank.
The 'Ice Age' was like a 'White Butterfly' dancing gracefully among black flowers.
It truly achieved what was called 'not a single leaf sticks to the Body'!
"Ahhh, This King is furious, you stinking Bug that can only fly around----"
Heimalin saw that no Matter how many Water Pillars it shot up.
It just couldn't hit Kuzan, and it couldn't fly itself.
It was absolutely enraged, yet helpless.
As for the idea of jumping up again, there was none.
Because it also noticed that Kuzan's Cold Air was much more dangerous than Frozen Ice, completely sufficient to counteract its 'Divine Power'.
Yes.
It called the 'Black Mist', which was Bloodline Power fused with Natural Energy, 'Divine Power'.
However, other Super Dangerous Beasts had their own terms.
For example, the Divine Dragon residing in the Cloud Layer of the Shenhe Island Nation.
It liked to call this Energy 'Immortal Power', while The Empire and the Alchemy Kingdom recorded it as 'Magic Power'.
They were actually the same thing.
Kuzan clearly had no interest in wasting words with it.
While letting the 'Ice Age' beneath him fly rapidly, he raised his Right Hand covered in ice formations towards the giant Marlin in the Sea below, pointing his palm at it.
In the next moment.
He saw Ice Spears with Trident structures condensing one after another in the Mid-air around him.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Ice Spears densely covered the Sky above.
And that wasn't all.
He saw the tip of each Ice Spear quickly dyed with a black sheen.
He had Hardened a layer of Armament Haki on them again!
"Ice Spear!"
With a loud shout from Kuzan.
In an instant, all the Ice Spears turned into Afterimages, shooting towards Heimalin like Heavy Rain.
Immediately.
The sharp whistling sounds were incessant.
Heimalin was not to be outdone, once again controlling the surrounding Seawater to create Black Water Cannons to meet the attack head-on.
At this moment, Kuzan suddenly leaped out from the back of the 'Ice Age' at High Speed.
He created two long Ice Pillars in the High Altitude, connecting to the Great Sea.
"Ice Age!"
Yes, he used 'Ice Age' again this time.
Previously, in order not to affect his own Fleet, he had controlled a certain amount of Strength and range.
But now he wanted to Freeze the entire Great Sea in this Zone.
Because Kuzan realized that if he didn't use his Full Power, it would be difficult to Take down the Super Dangerous Beast before him.
[Crack... Crack]
As the surging Cold Air erupted in the Water under the impetus of the Ice-Ice Fruit.
It instantly Frozen into a thick Ice Layer almost in the blink of an eye.
The Wave that was surging the previous second turned into a lifelike Ice Sculpture the next second.
This also caused the World Government's Fleet to be firmly fixed in place.
But the most miserable were the Marlin-type Dangerous Species and the Navy Fishman Unit who were fighting fiercely in the Water.
The former were instantly Frozen along with the surrounding Water.
As for the latter, although they weren't tragically Frozen thanks to Kuzan's Perception with Observation Haki and his superb micro-Control of Cold Air.
However, because the Seawater had turned into Ice, they had to endure the cold Low Temperature.
They had to smash through the Ice Layer above their heads layer by layer to get out, otherwise, their fate would be either being Frozen to Death or Buried Alive.
Fortunately, the Marines above were constantly breaking the Ice Layer in various ways to rescue them.
At the same Time, they used Tremors to guide the Fish-men in the Direction.
Kuzan, however, could no longer attend to these Matters.
He had completely entered Combat with Heimalin, even adopting a Combat Form similar to Sakazuki's earlier.
While using Element Transformation, he released a large amount of Cold Air, turning into an Ice Crystal Giant Bird Form that was fifty meters tall.
Its Beak and Bird Claws were even coated with a layer of dark Armament Haki.
Every Time it grabbed Heimalin's even larger Fish Body.
It could easily break through the Black Mist attempting to corrode it and the Toughness of the Fish Scales, causing it to let out painful cries.
The Scene looked like a Divine Bird from Myth preying on a Marlin-type Primordial Savage Beast.
Surging Black Water formed terrifying Tornadoes, wildly intertwining with the biting Blizzard, creating the most magnificent Combat Special Effects.
"Ahhh, damn it, damn it, why is This King's Body being injured so easily!"
Heimalin was truly both angry and filled with Doubt. Logically, its Defense shouldn't be so fragile.
Yet, this Human's attacks could penetrate deep into its Flesh and Blood every Time.
This was actually the Effect of Kuzan using the Armament Haki Internal Destruction Technique.
One must say.
Im's previous Order to make all Haki Techniques public to the Military's Higher-ups indeed had a very good Effect.
Especially the 'Internal Destruction' Technique, which could often ignore and Penetrate the Opponent's Defensive Armor!
However, Heimalin's Strength was also sufficient.
Whether it was its Black Water, which was extremely Corrosive and could injure the Main Body of Element Transformation.
Or its incredibly sharp Marlin Upper Jaw, which was difficult for even Armament Haki to resist, they were all causing various injuries to Kuzan's Manifestation, the Ice Bird.
However, Kuzan would rely on the powerful Ability of 'Future Sight'.
He would separate the Ice parts that were about to be attacked in advance, causing the Marlin Upper Jaw wrapped in Black Mist to repeatedly miss.
This allowed him to gradually gain the Upper Hand in the close Combat with Heimalin, and the latter's painful cries became more frequent...
[Crack!]
Suddenly, a thick, silver-white Lightning bolt, from the Sky that had somehow become covered in Dark Clouds, struck the back of the Ice Crystal Giant Bird Form fiercely, causing its entire Posture to stagger.
"Hmm?"
Kuzan, feeling the pain, raised his Bird Head in surprise to look upwards.
But at this Time.
A large amount of Lightning poured down like Heavy Rain...
