Just as the captain of the pirate crew was about to make a move, the ground suddenly turned blood red, transforming into a giant blood hand that tightly gripped the pirate captain who had taken the lead in showing killing intent.
"No!" The captain's face was filled with terror as he roared, "This is the border! Lance!!"
Bang!
The blood hand exerted a little force, and actually crushed this person to death.
Whirr, as soon as the person died, the blood hand collapsed, falling back to the earth, and turning back into rubble and ice.
"Awakening?" Vladimir thought in surprise, "Being able to directly affect things outside of ability users, that should be the second stage of ability users, awakening. Moreover, the distance is very far..."
The scene was silent for a moment, as if everyone was shocked by this bloody scene.
Daros gritted his teeth beside him and said, "The one who took action was the captain of the Lance Pirates, Lance Progeal, a Blood-Blood Fruit ability user, a Paramecia-type second-stage awakening, bounty... 1,095,000,000!"
A pirate with a bounty of over 1 billion had definitely reached the Admiral level, and was also to a degree that a single Admiral couldn't deal with.
"So that's it, this guy is the leader of one of the five major forces? And it's just a thirteen-person pirate crew."
A pirate captain with a bounty of over 100 million was slapped to death with a flip of the hand, and they couldn't even see where the other person was.
Thinking of this, Vladimir stepped towards the ice and snow forest.
"Big brother, where are you going?" Daros widened his eyes and said incredulously.
"Where to go?"
Vladimir paused, looked back at him, and said calmly, "To meet the five major forces. It's better for you not to follow me. I'm not interested in saving you if we fight with your little skills."
Saying this, he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, and directly crossed the border and entered the territory of the Lance Pirates.
Behind him, Daros was immediately dumbfounded.
As expected of a member of the Phantom Pirates, he was really skilled and bold, daring to go alone.
That was a great pirate with a bounty of over 1 billion!
...
"Should I follow?"
Looking at Vladimir's figure disappearing into the ice and snow forest, Daros couldn't help but hesitate.
However, this hesitation didn't last long.
"I have to follow. If they fight, it won't be good if that guy gets killed. This is a good opportunity to join the Phantom!"
With a flash in his eyes, Daros immediately made a decision.
He followed the direction Vladimir was heading, crossed the designated border, and stepped into the ice and snow forest.
Seeing the two people entering the Lance Pirates' territory one after another, the group of onlookers couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Are these two... courting death?"
"After Lance came to Cake Island, he immediately occupied this ice and snow forest, and didn't allow anyone else to step in. I bet, at most five minutes, two corpses will be thrown out!"
"Hehe, it looks like there's a good show to watch!"
A group of pirates didn't care about the world being in chaos, and had no intention of leaving at all.
Leaving aside the situation outside, Vladimir walked straight into the ice and snow forest, and continued forward, and soon came to the center.
This place was affected by his battle with Big Mom at the time, and a large part of it had been destroyed. The tall, bizarre trees had disappeared, replaced by a bare, frozen land.
Under the surface, he could even see corpses being frozen, and through the ice, he could barely see the appearance of the corpses. These people had a strong look of horror on their faces, as if they were experiencing great terror.
"Captain, it's been three days, and we've used all sorts of methods, but we can't melt these ice layers. This ice, rather than being ice, is more like a seal."
On top of the ice layer, a burly man wielding a huge hammer hummed, "I've been smashing this ten-ton hammer continuously for three days, but I haven't been able to break it. It's simply unbelievable..."
"Hmm... these people are members of the Big Mom Pirates, and their strength is not weak, but from their faces, you can see that it was in an instant, a great flood submerged them, and then in that instant, they were completely frozen in one breath."
The person speaking had medium-length blue hair, and a handsome appearance, and said with certainty, "It's hard to imagine, what kind of person could freeze the entire Cake Island in one breath. What exactly is the disaster mentioned in the intelligence?"
The most famous person who mastered the power of ice was the Navy Admiral Aokiji. Aokiji could also do this kind of thing if he used his full strength, but he definitely couldn't complete it in an instant.
It was conceivable that if it was done by a person, this person would have at least the combat power of a Yonko.
"Who exactly is it?" The blue-haired captain murmured in a low voice. Suddenly, he frowned, and looked sideways in the direction behind him, "Someone is coming in, ignoring the warning."
He had previously killed the troublemaker with a blood hand from a distance of thousands of meters, and this still didn't deter this person. If he wasn't very confident in himself, he was a fool.
Da da da...
Footsteps came, and Vladimir stepped through the forest and walked into the frozen land in the center.
Only then did Lance see the person clearly. The person was wearing white clothes, had short black hair, and walked silently.
"Who are you?" At this time, the burly man carrying a ten-ton hammer shouted, "This is the territory of our Lance Pirates. Do you want to die for stepping in here without permission?"
Hearing this, Vladimir ignored him, and instead looked at the blue-haired young man.
He raised an eyebrow, and chuckled, "You're the captain of the Lance Pirates?"
"What do you want?" Lance's expression was calm, and he didn't show any anger. It seemed that he didn't care at all that someone had ignored his warning.
"Nothing, I just wanted to take a look." Vladimir quietly sized up the other party's group.
Twelve people, one was missing.
These twelve people were all strong, their energy and blood were abundant, and their auras were long. The burly man carrying the giant hammer was even naked in this icy and snowy place. Just the heat he emitted naturally dispelled the cold air within a dozen meters around him.
This wasn't a Devil Fruit ability, but the strength of this person's physique. Just standing there, the naturally diffused heat was enough to resist the cold.
"This kind of elite pirate crew is a little more troublesome than ordinary pirate crews."
Vladimir secretly assessed the combat power of this group of people. If he wanted to take action and annihilate this pirate crew, it wouldn't be difficult.
The problem was, this was just one of the five major forces. When the time came, what he had to suppress was five times the enemies in front of him.
Even ten times the enemies in front of him!
While Vladimir was pondering, the burly man wielding the hammer suddenly grinned, and with a lunge, he actually rushed over.
