...

Hearing the voice behind him, Noir finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Black flames swept across the countless ice swords that had erupted from the ground, melting them instantly.

Using Kuzan as a breakthrough point, Noir charged through the two Admirals' encirclement, his sword blazing. "Push the ship off the Red Line! I'll handle this!"

The two giants roared in acknowledgement. They reached out their long arms, scooped up their crewmates, and tossed them onto the ship. Then, with a mighty heave, they shoved the ship, along with several Marine vessels, off the edge of the Red Line!

Kizaru paused, stunned. Were they trying to commit suicide?!

The Red Line, a practically insurmountable mountain, and they were jumping off it!

Weren't they afraid of being smashed to pieces along with the ship?

Kuzan suddenly understood. "Borsalino! Don't let Noir use his ability!"

But Noir was already in motion. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed a dense fog that shimmered like ice crystals.

In an instant, an icy path materialized beneath the plummeting ships, sloping downwards into the empty air.

An ice slide? The Marines could hardly believe their eyes. Could this playground contraption really be their escape route?

Though the vertical drop had become a slide, the icy surface was uneven, and the passengers screamed as the ship bounced and jolted.

But the screams were overshadowed by cheers of joy and relief.

Noir, the creator of the ice slide, however, was groaning inwardly.

The icy path continued to extend downwards. Noir, standing at the bow of the lead ship, focused all his energy on maintaining the ice slide, not daring to relax for a moment.

The Red Line was incredibly high. The ice slide could only slow their descent, and Noir's stamina wasn't enough to create such a massive structure in one go.

I just finished dealing with the swordsmanship and Haki talents, now I have to aim for a stamina talent...

Noir thought wryly. Suddenly, his Observation Haki blared a warning. A powerful attack was incoming!

Without questioning his Haki's accuracy, Noir ducked.

At that very moment, a beam of light grazed the space above his head, nearly taking it clean off.

Noir looked up in shock, his eyes locking onto the attacker.

Kizaru stood atop the mast of a Marine ship behind them, one hand on Kuzan's shoulder, the other pointed at Noir.

Their justice coats billowed in the wind, creating an intimidating aura high above the falling ships.

Someone on the ship below shouted angrily, "Even now, the Marines won't let us go?!"

Kizaru shrugged. "I'm just following orders."

The truth was...

Kizaru, seeing Noir and his crew sliding down the ice path, with the Marines unable to pursue, had been ready to call it a day.

But Kuzan, his usually laid-back colleague, had suddenly become strangely determined, insisting that Kizaru take him along in pursuit.

And so, the two laziest Admirals found themselves working overtime.
