"Dang!" Qingzhi's Ice Saber collided with my White Water Sickle. I jumped a few times to relieve the pressure on Qingzhi's saber.
"Elemental Shield." As I activated my ability, my body was surrounded by a nearly transparent shield. Damn it, I forgot.
"Ice Aeon!" I was frozen as soon as I heard Qingzhi's voice. Why did he create an Elemental Shield for no reason? This was just a loophole that Qingzhi took advantage of.
"Peng!" I drew out the water around me, and the ice sprinkled down like powder.
"Looks like you have already grown to a terrifying level." Qing Zhi looked at me with a serious expression. He knew that his strength had been restrained.
"Same here. You're still stronger." I looked at Qingzhi and knew that my ability was restrained by this man.
"I didn't expect that you, who I haven't seen for two years, could actually be the same as me. As expected of the ability user of the Origin Fruit." Young and innocent, look at me.
"Fruit of Origin? What is that? Is it one of the nine? I've been misunderstood again. Actually, I'm not an ability user. I'm a water warlock. I shouted silently in my heart, but no one paid attention to me."
I activated the Heavenly Water Barrier and trapped the young girl in my domain.
"Absolute zero." The young child in my enchantment wanted to freeze everything that was flowing. Everything in the enchantment was frozen, but it was still flowing, flowing ice.
The ability in the "Assimilation" barrier was fully activated. Qing Zhi felt a powerful force extracting and eroding herself. The shocked Qing Zhi quickly activated the ability beside her. An icy fog appeared beside Qing Zhi, resisting the erosion of the barrier.
Ice Impact! After several hits, the young girl finally broke out of the barrier.
Looking at me, Qingzhi panted with lingering fear. The feeling of being eroded made Qingzhi, who was a general, feel uncomfortable. I looked at Qingzhi. Damn it, I had already used all my strength just now, but I still couldn't stop him.
"Looks like you can really contend with me, Cambria Era." As soon as Qing Zhi's voice fell, a chill suddenly descended. This was a chill that could freeze the soul. I felt my soul slowly stiffen. The materialized spiritual power directly attacked my soul. What kind of fruit ability was this?
Gradually, I was about to lose consciousness. Qing Zhi looked at me and began to smile.
I resisted the power that directly attacked my soul through my body. I slowly closed my eyes. I was really helpless. I had to enter that state again.
When I opened my eyes, the deathly stillness and indifference appeared again. The cold air swept across the entire island. The White Water Scythe slashed fiercely, and the young domineering aura was cut a little.
"You…" Qing Zhi took a step back and looked into my eyes.
"There's not much time left. The human and water barrier." As soon as I finished speaking, the entire island was sealed off. The island instantly turned into a desert, and all the water elements gathered in my hand.
"Qing Zhi, without the water element as a medium, I want to see what else you can freeze. The drop in temperature has no effect on me. If you want to attack the soul directly, you can try again." I looked at the small elemental water ball in my hand and said coldly.
"I think we can talk now. It's very difficult for you to kill me now. You want to fight against the main body with just a branch..." I slowly approached Qingzhi and lowered my last sentence. I knew I couldn't kill Qingzhi, even though the bloodthirsty thoughts were echoing violently.
"Qingzhi, I'm afraid you wanted to destroy us because of me. You already knew that my ability was the biggest threat to you two years ago, followed by Robin." I said to the young girl in front of me.
"Your ability is just a branch of the Water Fruit. Against the main body, you have no chance of winning, so you want to kill me in a hurry. However, you have miscalculated. The current me is no longer inferior to you. Moreover, we are in the sea. Branches can never compete with the main body. Qing Zhi, give up." I silently looked at Qingzhi who was sitting on the ground. Qingzhi and I didn't make a move. After all, two people who were too close in strength would usually die together.
"Tell the Five Old Stars that we have no intention of becoming enemies with the World Government. We just want to sail freely on the sea." I walked out of the island and immediately removed my status. I didn't expect that after such a long time, I could only enter this state for a short while. I estimated that it would take about 6 minutes. It seems that I still need some time to fully adapt.
Only Qingzhi was left watching us leave in silence. Then he rode his bicycle and left.
The Merley continued to sail towards the next island.

On the other hand, after receiving a notice from Qing Zhi who had returned to the Navy headquarters, the Navy headquarters held an emergency meeting.
"What? That man has the strength to contend with you? Could it be that White Beard's power has increased again? This is simply too bad." Zhan Guo said seriously.
"Uh... Well, not exactly. It's just that the man's ability is very strange. It seems to be the explosive type." Qing Zhi speculated. After all, other than Ainilu, no one else could understand my state.
"Then this man is still very dangerous." Huang Yuan said.
"How should we deal with this person?" Warring States asked everyone present, General Qing Zhi, General Huang Yuan, Chief Staff He, Navy Hero Lieutenant General Karp.
"I didn't fully understand this person's strength this time. I suggest using the Demon Slayer Token to get rid of Nicole. Robin." Qing Zhi said.
"I don't agree. It's very difficult for the Demon Slayer Token to defeat someone who can compete with Qing Zhi." The crane said.
“”

After a long time, the Warring States decided to follow Qing Zhi's words and test it again. If it was destroyed, then forget it. If it was not, then let it go for the time being and not provoke it. It must be that the government's headache was not the straw hat gang.
"Alright, let's stop discussing this man. Let CP9 take action. Qing Zhi can give his authority to activate the Demon Slayer Order to CP9." Crane suddenly said. The people present did not understand why Crane said that. After all, that person was a figure who could compete with the general. Could the CP9 deal with him?
"CP9 is the government's dark force. It's not easy to do things on the surface. Let them go. It just so happens that the place where the straw hat group is going is very suitable for CP9." Crane looked at a place on the map-Water Capital.
"Let's talk about the four kings in the new world. Only the red-haired one is reasonable. The white-bearded one is an uncertain factor. As for the other two, we haven't heard from them yet. It seems that we have to strengthen our forces in the new world. It's not good if it's too chaotic. The existence of the four kings is no longer something we can control. If those people return, why would we support the Seven Martial Seas?" He said to Zhan Guo in a low voice.
"Is that so? Our ideals are different. Our absolute justice is actually cowardice in the eyes of pirates and revolutions." Zhan Guo said with a headache.

"Let's go." Luffy shouted from the VIP seat, not the slightest bit depressed by being defeated by Qingzhi.
"Bastard, don't you have any awareness?" I shouted at Luffy.
"Look at Sauron…" I pointed at Sauron who was struggling in my Sky Water Barrier.
It was after Qingzhi left that everyone felt a sense of crisis. They really felt that they were too weak, so I temporarily acted as an instructor, although my ability was really not suitable for John's Gravity Fruit.
"Sauron, since when can you wield your blade freely in this barrier? That means you've become stronger. Also, Luffy, get in there. The barrier is so strong, it's enough for you." I kicked Luffy in and told him the secret of using blood to increase his speed and strength. Luffy's rubber body should be able to withstand it.
"Sanji, if you don't become strong, Nami will be unhappy. Nami's knight can't be too weak..." Before I could finish, Sanji barged into my barrier with a look of a warrior who would never return.
"Hey, are you guys…" I looked at the timid trio hiding at the side and sighed when I saw them hugging each other tightly…It seemed that he would train them in the future.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Luffy, Sauron, and Sanji had basically gotten used to the barrier. The resistance in my barrier was much stronger than the resistance in the water. It seemed that it was not bad.
"Hu hu…Wow, the speed has changed so quickly." Luffy accidentally bounced away and hit the mast with a clang. It seemed that he had not adapted to the environment after coming out.
"En, it feels great. The speed of the knife is much faster than before. It seems that I have to practice more in the future." Sauron looked at me as if he was looking at an extra-large barbell.
"Yes, Namisan, Robin…Your knight is here…" Sanji was spinning around on the deck, his speed much faster than before.
I sat on the deck and looked at Robin. Robin had recovered, but I still saw fear in her eyes. Although Robin seemed to have recovered under our comfort, I always felt uneasy. It seemed that Robin was about to leave us.
"Wow, what is that?" Luffy pointed ahead.
"Woo woo." A sound came through. A monster was sailing on the sea. It looked like a frog, but why was it doing freestyle swimming?
"Frog." I shouted. Frogs are swimming freestyle. It's incredible. Aren't frogs supposed to swim breaststroke?
"Wow, that's great." Everyone was surprised. Robin seemed to have fully recovered. Seeing her, I let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, I would not let any of my companions get hurt. It seemed that I had to increase the extent of their training.
After the battle with Qing Zhi, I knew my own strength, but how could I improve it? I have the physique of a water warlock, how can I compare with the physique of a martial artist? It seems that I should continue to develop in the promising profession of warlocks. At least I have seen the dawn of the SSS level, which is the energy body. It seems that I still don't understand enough. At least I am a genius. Why is the door to energy only open that gap after the return of Kong Dao? It didn't expand. Could it be that my comprehension is still not enough... Forget it, I'm already close to the strength of a general, and I can completely contend against them on the sea. I'll just let nature take its course.
Looking at Luffy and the others, hmph hmph, next time I will activate the ability of the Heavenly Water Barrier. I will see how long you can last. Not bad, this training seems to be good.
Luffy and the others suddenly shivered, as if a dark cloud was hanging over their heads. Only Sauron seemed to be fine. He was still sleeping soundly, but it seemed like he was having a nightmare.
