I'll come find you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin was stunned, her eyes fixed on Cyrus, but Cyrus's eyes were on Kuzan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan, in turn, was watching the two of them, feeling increasingly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Off you go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus grabbed Robin's slender waist and leaped onto the boat by the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, go, go! Row the boat!\" Cyrus shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few men in suits and sunglasses on the boat, who had been pretending not to exist, scrambled to row upon hearing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My, my, that won't do. If you escape, it'll be hard for me to explain things on my end!\" Kuzan said, scratching his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand, and a wave of cold air shot toward the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Torchlight!\" Cyrus raised his hand and drew his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Fire Tornado suddenly erupted on the sea's surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching wind blew through Robin's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched the back of Cyrus, who was wielding a flaming sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll come find you in a bit. I'll take you away from the West Blue then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus turned to smile at Robin, then turned back to the Fire Tornado, leaped up, and jumped directly into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin pressed her hands on the gunwale as the boat, rowed frantically by several men, moved away from the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flames! How terrifying!\" Kuzan said with a pout, looking at the burning Fire Tornado on the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be more reasonable if Kizaru said it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus, wreathed in flames, leaped from the fire onto the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames seemed like a cloak, and behind him, a wall of fire nearly ten meters high seemed to ignite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you know a lot about us. So, do you think you can stop me?\" Kuzan was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Admiral, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was his deterrent power really that low?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some random kid just pops up and dares to challenge him head-on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Flame-Flame Fruit, did he really think flames could definitely overcome frost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I'll have to teach this kid a good lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan's eyes locked onto Cyrus, and he moved his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan's tall figure was already beside Cyrus, a huge saber made of condensed frost in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice Saber!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stroke Cut!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Saber clashed with the flame-wreathed Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's right leg, simultaneously wrapped in Haki and flames, kicked out, aiming for Kuzan's knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How scary!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Kuzan channeled Kizaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept saying \"how scary,\" but he couldn't kick away a Supernova with one foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan's body was shattered by the kick, and frost condensed at the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames behind him had already been frozen over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being frozen for a moment, the frost and flames dissipated into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard, you can even freeze flames?\" Cyrus said with a serious expression, holding his sword and looking at the re-formed Kuzan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flames can counter cold, but if the temperature is low enough, it's the other way around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that's enough then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus brandished Flame and charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolish.
