"Arm Fist · Collapse!"
Zephyr based on his powerful wrist strength, combined with Busoshoku Haki and his own body art power, unleashed his most peak punch with all his might!
"Ice Slaughter · Mahāpatma!!"
Under extreme burst, Esdeath's entire body's power converged under this sword. The moment the shura sword was unleashed, everything around her was instantly frozen by extreme freezing power. Even space showed signs of slowing down.
The entire World under this sword turned into a scene of ice and snow freezing everything. Even Zephyr's figure and punching speed slowed down.
This move was a display of Esdeath's full power, using her power to freeze everything, freezing a sliver of space to achieve the effect of slowing down all of Zephyr's actions and reactions.
Just as she wanted to use this to dodge Zephyr's punch and then slash at Zephyr's neck with all her might.
Zephyr instantly covered his entire body with Busoshoku Haki. The strong Busoshoku Haki even permeated his body, blocking the influence of Esdeath's freezing power.
That black fist slammed onto Esdeath's shura sword.
Zephyr's full power punch defeated Esdeath's full power sword strike, sending Esdeath flying hundreds of meters away again.
But at the same time, Esdeath used her ability through the shura sword's conductivity to instantly condense the countless cold air around her and herself around Zephyr, completely freezing Zephyr, turning him into a giant ice crystal.
And the ice layer under Zephyr's feet instantly dissipated, and the ice crystal Zephyr turned into immediately fell into the Sea.
"Can't beat this old guy, run quickly!"
Even her strongest sword strike after fighting with all her might couldn't win, Esdeath didn't have the idea of fighting to the death without retreating.
Esdeath, who was flying backward, stabilized her body using Moonwalk, then pulled out a scroll and opened it. The silver-white motorcycle appeared on the ice layer, and Esdeath immediately sat on it and started the engine.
"Stop her, don't let her run!"
The Marine soldiers on Zephyr's warship, seeing Esdeath wanting to run, began to control the warship's cannons to bombard Esdeath. Many Marine soldiers also rushed out of the warship, wanting to stop Esdeath.
But the six large openings behind Esdeath's motorcycle emitted intense jet power. The motorcycle sped out over ten kilometers in the blink of an eye. In just five breaths, Esdeath's figure disappeared on the Sea.
After Esdeath left here, a news bird that had been circling in the air also immediately flew away.
"What is this thing, how can its speed be so fast!"
Looking at Esdeath's disappearing figure, many Marine soldiers were shocked. It was the first time they had seen something so fast!
"Cough, cough, damn it, after I go back this time, I must make Ashura Doji Uncle fight me with all his strength!"
After Esdeath devolved back to her human state, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and was very dissatisfied with Ashura Doji's previous restraint when sparring with her.
If it weren't for Ashura Doji Uncle holding back, causing her to misjudge her strength, how could she have proactively gone to fight Zephyr.
Even if she were to go, she would wait until she became stronger before going to fight Zephyr, not like now, being defeated by Zephyr in two moves and then running away in embarrassment!
Esdeath, in a bad mood, directly pushed the motorcycle's throttle to the max and quickly rushed towards the next island.
Zephyr, who was frozen by Esdeath and sent into the Sea, rushed out of the Sea a few seconds later, but after coming up, he did not find Esdeath's figure around.
"Where is Esdeath?"
Zephyr shouted loudly towards the warship.
"Admiral Zephyr, Esdeath rode a strange machine in that direction. The machine's speed was too fast, we couldn't intercept her in time."
A Captain on the warship stepped out and said.
"Damn it, she actually ran away!"
Hearing the Captain's words, Zephyr was furious. He almost caught her, but he didn't expect to be ambushed at the last moment, causing Esdeath to escape!
The other party, at such a young age, possessed such powerful strength. Not only did she eat a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, but she also inherited Nox's sword road talent. At seventeen, she had already become a Grand Swordmaster. In the future, she would definitely be another top combat power, which would enhance the overall strength of the Limitless Pirates.
If he missed this opportunity, maybe he wouldn't have the chance to catch the other party next time!
"Immediately break the ice and go ashore to see if Doflamingo and those Pirate groups are still on the island!"
Since Esdeath couldn't be caught, Zephyr shifted his target to the original goal of this trip.
"Admiral Zephyr, we have searched, but we haven't found any trace of Doflamingo and the others on the island."
However, when Zephyr and the others went ashore to search, Doflamingo had already left one step ahead while Esdeath was fighting.
"Since they are not here, then return!"
Zephyr said unhappily. This time he went out to sea, he thought he could catch Nox's daughter, but later he didn't even catch Doflamingo!
On the other side, after Esdeath arrived at another island, she found a Law Net station, and then directly returned to the Limitless Sea through the Mirror World.
"Esdeath, what's wrong?"
When Esdeath came out, she happened to meet her Mama, Lesley.
Lesley saw Esdeath's pale face and bloodstains on the corners of her mouth, and ran over worriedly, holding Esdeath's hand and checking her body.
"Mama, I'm fine, I just had a fight with the old guy Zephyr and didn't win in the end."
Looking at her Mama's worried look, Esdeath said with a bit of guilt.
"You still say you're fine. Forcibly using Life Return to strengthen your body has caused damage to your muscles all over your body, and your internal organs are bleeding!"
"Didn't I give you a lot of healing pills? Why didn't you eat them?"
Lesley asked seriously.
"Mama, these are just minor injuries. Father said that if you are injured, you should rely on your own self-healing ability to recover. After the injury has completely recovered, then take a medicinal bath to eliminate some possible hidden injuries. This is the best."
Esdeath looked at her Mama, who was handing her a healing pill to her mouth, and explained helplessly.
"You only know how to listen to your Father, why don't you listen to your Mama more."
Seeing that her daughter refused to take the medicine, Lesley put the pills away.
"Didn't you go to discuss cooperation with that Doflamingo? How did you run into Zephyr? Did that Doflamingo team up with Zephyr to set a trap for you?"
At this moment, Nox walked over from not far away, looked at his daughter's injured appearance, and asked with a frown.
In his impression, and from the information Shakky investigated, Doflamingo did not seem like the type to team up with Zephyr.
What's more, Doflamingo didn't know that the person going to talk to him about cooperation was Esdeath. Only Nox and Shakky knew about this matter, and there was no possibility of it being leaked.
"It should be that Zephyr went to catch Doflamingo, and then I happened to run into Zephyr when I left. Later, I didn't choose to detour, but proactively went to fight Zephyr."
"I didn't expect that old guy Zephyr to be so powerful. I am not his opponent now, and he injured me, so I fled back."
Esdeath lowered her head in shame when she saw Nox appear.
As Father's daughter, she was actually defeated by a retired Admiral. If this were to spread, it would be the face of the Limitless Pirates and her Father that would be lost.
"You are only seventeen years old, and Zephyr is fifty years old, and he is an Admiral. It is normal for you to not be able to defeat him!"
"You were reckless this time. Even though Zephyr's strength has declined now, he is not someone you can defeat at present."
Nox said seriously.
His daughter could be said to have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. With various top resources added, it was already very good that she could escape from Zephyr's hands now.
Only after she fully grew up in two years would it be possible for her to reach the level of top combat power.
Although he said that, Nox's tone was very serious. He absolutely did not approve of this kind of arrogant and self-important behavior of risking one's life to verify one's combat power!
"Father, I know I was wrong. I won't be so reckless in the future!"
Hearing her Father say this, Esdeath lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"Okay, go and rest well."
Nox nodded.
"Husband, you weren't like this to Esdeath before!"
After Esdeath walked out, Lesley said with some heartache.
She wanted to spoil her daughter. Esdeath came back injured just now, not only did she not get comfort from Nox, but she was also lectured by Nox, which made Lesley feel distressed.
But she didn't stop Nox or help comfort Esdeath. She knew that her Husband was doing this for Esdeath's own good.
"Before, Esdeath was still young, so I was very doting and tolerant of them, but now that they have grown up, I can't continue to spoil them."
"What's more, Esdeath is now the eldest princess of our Limitless Pirates. If she can't accept this little failure, then how can she bear everything she has to bear in the future."
Nox said with emotion.
He was still very fond of his daughters, but he wouldn't over-spoil them, otherwise it would harm them.
"However, Zephyr dares to attack my daughter, he is really tired of living!"
In an instant, Nox's entire aura became extremely cold.
He had never hit his daughter since she was a child.
Now, a mere Zephyr actually dared to hit his daughter!!
Thinking of Esdeath's haggard look just now, the anger in Nox's heart was almost uncontrollable!
"Husband, do you want to attack Zephyr?"
Seeing her Husband's furious look, Lesley knew what her Husband was thinking.
"That's right, I'll go find Shakky to understand the movements of Garp and Sengoku and see if there is a chance to make a move!"
After speaking, Nox walked into the mirror that Esdeath had just come out of, and at the same time began to contact Shakky and told her his thoughts.
"Husband, Sengoku and Garp have recently secretly set off for the East Blue, and yesterday the Law Net saw Garp appear on Kamsin Island in the East Blue!"
Shakky quickly replied to Nox.
"Very good, help me check Zephyr's itinerary again, and then I will go there and wait for Zephyr."
Nox said.
"Husband, I'll go with you."
Shakky knew what her Husband was thinking at this moment, and immediately entered the Mirror World and found Nox.
"According to Zephyr's current itinerary, he should arrive at Zamir Island for supplies in a day. We just need to wait for him here!"
Shakky quickly brought Nox to Zamir Island. There happened to be a mirror set up by Shakky on this island.
