Zephyr

Seeing that Garp's attention had been successfully diverted, Haku continued, "That brat Luffy probably set sail after he turns 17. With his personality, the old man will have plenty of headaches to deal with then!"

Perhaps swayed by Haku's words, Garp stopped helping. Instead, he stood up and walked towards headquarters!

Haku looked at Garp, who was starting to leave, with a puzzled expression, and thought for a moment.

He guessed that his old man was planning to ask Sengoku for leave to go back to East Blue Foosha Village!

Here, Haku will observe a few minutes of silence for Luffy. It's obvious that this time, Ace will no longer share his Fist of Love with him!

Whether Luffy can withstand it is still an unknown.

After Haku quickly finished her work at the Harbor, she handed the rest over to the other Marine present.

This shameless thing even went so far as to call it a test for them! They completely fooled these greenhorns!

Haku soon wandered off to the base that specifically trains new naval recruits!

After greeting everyone with her face, Haku headed in a specific direction with a clear purpose!

"Which platoon are you in! Why aren't you training at this hour? What are you doing running around like this! And you've gotten yourself all dirty!" Ain, holding a lesson plan, said to Haku looked rather idle.

Haku looked left and right, and said, "Are you talking about me?"

Realizing what was happening, he understood that the other person was targeting him.

Ain snapped, "Is there anyone else here besides you?!"

Haku laughed and said, "I don't need that training or anything. Besides, don't you recognize me?"

After Haku said that, Ain looked at the young man in front of her again.

Perhaps because the Harbor had just been under repair, Haku's clothes looked quite dirty.

No wonder Ain didn't recognize Haku at first!

Haku also noticed that she was indeed a bit dirty, and even her face was covered in a layer of dust.

He Vice Admiral his Zanpakuto out of the System Space, and his Spiritual Pressure vibrated around him, washing away all the filth clinging to him!

Then I saw a completely transformed Haku, and the Zanpakuto with its purple hilt in his hand.

Ain finally recognized Haku's true identity!

"I'm sorry, Admiral Haku! I didn't recognize you just now and mistook you for a lazy Marine," Ain said apologetically.

Haku shook her head and said, "It's okay, you just didn't recognize me!"

He then asked, "Where's that Professor Zephyr? I need to speak with him!"

Ain nodded and said, "I was just about to go see Professor Zephyr, so why don't you come along, Admiral Haku?"

Haku said, "Alright! Please lead the way."

Ain didn't say anything more; she walked forward to lead the way for Haku.

And she walked in the very direction Haku had just walked!

Not long after, Haku saw a familiar figure, but this figure was now carrying a huge mechanical arm on its back!

Haku quickly stepped forward and respectfully greeted, "Teacher Zephyr!"

Haku held Zephyr in the highest regard. After all, he had received considerable favors from Zephyr!

There was another figure present at the scene—a dark-skinned, Longarm Tribe named Shuzo!

Seeing Commodore Shuzo here, a look of seriousness flashed in Haku's eyes!

He deduced that Zephyr had already made plans, which significantly increased the difficulty of his objective this time!

Zephyr turned around and looked at Haku.

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly recovered.

He nodded to Haku and said, "Haku, you're here. What's up? Did you need something?"

Compared to the Zephyr Haku had seen before, the Zephyr now looked much more menacing.

Haku sighed softly; he knew that the Admiral who had spared his life had indeed changed.

Perhaps in the future, after the Marineford War, he will learn that the Pirates who severed his arm and killed many of his students has joined the Navy and become Shichibukai!

This has led to strong doubts and distrust within the Navy!

This Admiral who doesn't kill will likely, like in the manga of my previous life, resolutely leave the Navy and establish the "NEO Marines" with the goal of annihilating Pirates worldwide.

After a flurry of thoughts, Haku looked at Zephyr and said, "Zephyr, I've come here to ask you to come to my G5 Base and help train some of my Marine!"

Zephyr frowned and said, "Haku, I know you. Don't you think this excuse is a bit..."

Haku laughed and said, "What? It seems like I've been seen through?"

Zephyr said, "You brat, you'd better tell me what you're here for!"

Haku coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I know that you, teacher, have some thoughts about what happened on the previous training ship!"

"So, before you do anything wrong, I want to bring you to the G5 Base to help me keep things under control. And while I'm at it, I'll restore your arm to its original state!"

Zephyr's eyes narrowed, because after he transformed his right arm into a mechanical arm called "Crusher" equipped with Seastone!

He did indeed create a "Pirate Guerrilla Squad" to hunt Pirates, and his students Ain and Shuzo joined it!

I never imagined Haku would find out about this so easily!

This should put Zephyr on high alert!

Zephyr spoke up, "Kid! I don't know where you learned about this, but now that you know all this, you should understand that some things you can easily change!"

Haku said, "I understand, but I still stand by my decision. Even if it means forcibly taking you away, that's not out of the question!"

Haku's words already carried a strong hint of threat!

"Damn it! We're both students of Professor Zephyr, so why are you stopping Zephyr?" Ain said to Haku, displeased.

Haku shook his head, keeping his gaze fixed on Zephyr.

Haku slowly began, "Perhaps this is how it works, teacher. You'll stay at my G5 Base for a while. At least three months from now, I'll remove the machine from your hand and restore it!"

"As you know! Due to your advanced age and the cumbersome nature of your mechanical arm, your movement speed is slightly slower, requiring medication for every battle! This is very detrimental to your health!"

Zephyr looked directly into Haku's eyes; he knew this was Haku's way of protecting him.

Besides, Haku has already given him a way out; it's just a matter of whether he's willing to accept it now!

From Haku's few words, Ain and Shuzo realized that he could restore Zephyr's arm, and they also remained silent for the time being!
