Explosions continued to echo in the sky above the sea of water and ice, both using Geppo and their Haki-coated swords, exchanging blows that created explosions with shock waves.

After clashing with Kuzan's ice sword, Luffy concentrated his flames in his free hand and punched towards the admiral, expanding his flames like a flamethrower. Kuzan responded by creating a massive ice dragon, which collided with the fire torrent in the air, causing a colossal explosion that lit up the entire sky, followed by a deafening roar, creating a cloud of steam above the sea.

The fight continued amid explosions in the midst of all that cold smoke.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

The two combatants moved with superhuman speed and precision, exchanging blows in the middle of the sky. Luffy, with his speed enhanced by the Moa Moa no Mi, tried to overcome Kuzan's defense, while the Admiral, with his superior Haki, blocked and counter-attacked with icy precision.

The sound of their punches and crossed swords was like thunder, echoing across the island and making the ground tremble. This lasted for the next few hours as ice and flames were being created in the sky, the marines were waking up, but Luffy did not want to worry about reinforcements arriving in his fight, so he occasionally released his King's aura to knock out anyone who could report the situation to the superiors in the midst of this fight.

"Conqueror's Haki... I'm not surprised... but it's quite troublesome..." Kuzan commented, looking more injured from the fight.

"Don't pay attention to that," Luffy said, appearing in his phase form to continue the fight, equally injured, as fighting an admiral was quite problematic. The fight in these last hours was frenetic and it seemed they would fight for days at this rate, the sea below him was frozen and ablaze with steam creating a smoke curtain in front of the village.

"You have in your crew, Nico Robin, right?" As the blows continued against each other, Kuzan commented, making Luffy raise an eyebrow at this.

"That's true, Robin became a valuable companion even before we entered Alabasta," Luffy said, parrying Kuzan's blows.

"You should get rid of that woman," Kuzan mentioned, and Luffy just snorted.

"Why would I do that? She is quite precious and trustworthy."

"All the crews she joined were destroyed, yours will be no different," he said seriously, Luffy recognized that this was the reason for Kuzan finding him as in the original work.

"That may be true, but Robin has proven to be trustworthy and I believe in her, as do all my companions. We have a common goal and I am interested in the history of the lost century," Luffy commented with a smile, making Kuzan frown.

"You can't be serious, the World Government would never let you go free after discovering this ambition of yours."

"You don't understand, do you?" Luffy appeared, surprising Kuzan with his speed, and delivered a punch to the admiral's stomach, sending him flying hundreds of meters before stabilizing again.

Luffy looked at him with a smile and said, "This is my journey, my adventure, I'm a pirate and I do what I want, I don't care what the government thinks of me and my ambitions, I won't bow down to these organizations and no one." Luffy spoke confidently.
