Chapter 32 Zephyr Training Ship
New World: Deep Sea Outpost "Axe Island"
The wind was howling, but the flames were still burning.
The tattered Pirates flag fluttered in the thick smoke, the corpses of the completely annihilated "Rustbite Pirates" (bounty: 50 million Berries) were scattered all over the ground, and the wreckage of the ship was washed on the shore.
It was a standard practice annihilation battle - at least it had been for an hour.
The Marine training ship "War Training No. 1" is docked on the coast of Axe Island, and the hull still has signs of melting.
On the deck, elite trainees were cleaning weapons or treating the wounded, still celebrating their victory.
"The Rustbite Group has been completely wiped out! The number of casualties has been kept below five!"
Ein, who was in charge of post-war coordination, frowned as he wrote a report, "However... Mr. Zephyr's breathing has become more frequent."
On the other side, Binz manipulated vines to help bandage the wound, sweat dripping down his forehead. "The teacher is holding on. His old injury has recurred."
At this moment——
A sonic boom that tore through the air suddenly came!
"boom!!!"
Along with the roar of the strange iron ship falling into the sea, a hundred-foot wall of water was raised on the sea surface, shattering the reefs!
The next moment, two figures came walking on the waves.
One of them is a strong man as big as a giant bear, with messy golden hair and a dull expression, but he exudes a strong murderous aura.
The second is a hunchbacked old woman wearing an extravagant kimono, wearing strange and heavy makeup, leaning on a cane, and with a voice as shrill as a saw.
"Gujiji! Listen up! If these little brats don't hand over the 'list of war criminals,' they'll all be chopped into fishcakes!"
"Weeble!! Tear all these disobedient losers apart!"
Edward Whible - called himself "Son of Whitebeard";
Bakingum Stussy – Self-proclaimed "Whitebeard's wife".
"Okay! I'll listen to everything Mom says!"
Weibul roared, raised his naginata, and smashed towards the group of Marine trainees like a human battering ram!
"Everyone retreat——!!!"
Standing at the front was Marine Instructor and former Admiral—Zephyr!
He raised his arms, tensed the muscles in his hands, and Haki instantly covered his entire arms!
[Armament Color Cover·Dual Arms Mode]
"Justice will never retreat!!"
Zephyr roared and blasted out with both fists, breaking the mountain!
It caused a strong sonic boom and air wave, forcing the oncoming Weevil back three meters!
"Wa ...
Weibull slid backwards and broke three sea trees behind him, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"Hehe… the old man is so hard… I like it!!!"
The battle breaks out!
Zephyr's fists were wrapped with Armament Haki, transforming into black steel hammers. Each punch was powerful and upright, without any restrictions;
And Weevil was like a wild giant ape, slashing with his naginata without any pattern, but each blow contained amazing weight and destructiveness!
"boom--!"
The island's ground cracked! The waves were lifted by the pressure of the fist!
After dozens of consecutive battles, Zephyr beat Weevil back to the coast.
But when he was about to punch again——
"…Gurgle, cough…cough cough!!"
He suddenly stopped, held his chest with his left hand, and coughed violently!
Years of high-intensity training, physical exhaustion, and old injuries have caused his lungs to spasm and his breathing to become as rapid as a saw!
"teacher!!"
Ian screamed from the back and was about to go forward to support, but was yelled at by Zephyr to go back!
"Retreat to the ship! None of you are allowed to come near!"
"But you will—!"
"I won't die at the hands of a clown like that!!"
He gritted his teeth again, his momentum as fierce as thunder!
With two heavy punches, Weibull was slammed into the hillside again!
But at this moment, Zephyr's face had turned pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his breathing sounded like an old bellows. He was obviously exhausted!
Bakingom grinned and raised his staff: "Weeble, pull out his arm!"
Weibull grinned foolishly, his naginata already raised high, like a thunderbolt——
"Mom said, I'll chop you in two!"
Bang!!!
The earth suddenly collapsed!
The huge blade turned into a meteor and slashed down, pointing directly at Zephyr's right shoulder!
At this moment, Zephyr could barely move. He wanted to hide, but every time he moved a muscle, his chest ached like a burning fire. The air felt like nails piercing his lungs, and his body was as stiff as iron.
"I...can't move?"
At that moment, he almost realized——
My arm is going to be broken!
"I'm sorry... my students..."
At this moment——
"call--!"
The sea breeze suddenly stopped, the space seemed to be frozen in an instant, the sonic boom was deprived, and gravity seemed to be sucked away!
"Air collapse, shattering shock."
"What!?"
Bakingom screamed!
The next moment, a wind pressure that did not belong to this battle came from high altitude, carrying a spiral transparent shock wave, which instantly deviated from Weibull's slashing trajectory and blasted a gas explosion pit on the ground!
Weevil's entire huge body flew out and his attack missed!
Zephyr felt his vision go dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar and glaring figure before him.
His cloak fluttered, his boots crushed the ground, and the air still hummed around him.
At the same time, a low and calm voice came:
"The Marine's old god of war can't just die like that."
In the fog, military boots stepped on the ground.
Rogge, Rhett, and Enel arrived to provide support!
"Commodore Rogge, G-5 Branch Special Dispatch, ordered to support the training fleet."
"...You..." Zephyr whispered, "Are you here again without permission?"
Boom!!
With a loud bang, Rhett came down from the mountain like a tiger, his arms wrapped in ink-like armed color, and with seastone heavy knuckles on his hands, he smashed directly into Weevil's giant naginata!
He roared angrily and his fist broke through the air!
"...What a heavy punch..." Weeble was knocked back half a step by the punch, and for the first time, confusion appeared on his dull face.
Rhett grinned and kicked his feet, and a wave of air exploded!
"Laozi wants to take apart those sandbags of yours to see if there are glutinous rice balls inside!"
The two men instantly wrestled into a ball, their fists like thunder and their swords like waves, shaking the entire battlefield!
Rhett uses his unparalleled taijutsu and Armament Haki to counter Weevil's incredible strength, and every blow is a head-on collision!
[The other side · High on the sea cliff]
"You stinky b**ch! Stop hiding!"
Enel jumped up, and the lightning gathered into a spherical arc explosion in his palm, and the thunder was like a dragon wrapping around the golden rod!
Bakingom retreated with the help of his cane, screaming and complaining, "Ah my, you actually let me get hit by this kind of electricity and my hair stood up - you pretty face Marines are so rude!!"
"This God will blow you into pieces today!"
Enel's earlobes vibrated at a high frequency, and thunder instantly broke through the air and struck the cliff!
Stussy's figure moved instantly like a ghost, and the tip of his staff drew out a black shadow and poisonous mist. The two of them exchanged verbal attacks while releasing high-intensity lightning and illusionary poisonous gas in a fierce battle in the air!
"Teacher, I'm here to take you back to the fleet."
The sound of air explosion resounded throughout the battlefield!
Rogge leaped to Zephyr's side and placed a hand behind the teacher's shoulder.
"Air Shockwave Lift!"
boom!!
A semicircular vacuum shock visible to the naked eye lifted Zephyr up and threw him directly into the sky above the battleship behind him!
"Lo--!" Zephyr tried to object, but the strong wind muffled his voice.
At the rear of the fleet, Ain and Binz had already rushed to support them. Vines quickly wrapped around Zephyr's waist in mid-air and dragged it steadily into the battleship.
"Teacher, take a deep breath, quickly, open the emergency inhalation valve!" Binz yelled while operating the breathing device!
Ainn pressed Zephyr's chest, his observation Haki rapidly analyzing her heart and lung rhythms. "Severe muscle hypoxia! Assisted ventilation is being performed!"
Zephyr opened his bloodshot eyes and watched the three figures on the shore charging against the raging flames and sandstorms.
The battle between Rhett and Weevil was like the collapse of the earth and the mountains!
Enel Doubakingom is like thunder rolling in the sky!
And Rogge stepped out, his black cloak fluttering, facing the chaotic world alone, like a blade of justice.
"You b*****d brats..." Zephyr muttered, "Give me...win."
