After the world-renowned awarding ceremony concluded, Senga immediately went to see Zephyr.
The two met in the wasteland behind the Training Camp, the same place where Zephyr had given Senga private lessons back then.
Zephyr looked at his student with a look of satisfaction. How long had it been? Senga had already become Marine Admiral. He himself was already thirty-eight years old when he took that position.
Senga is not even twenty years old yet, Marine Admiral who is not even twenty! It's unbelievable.
Zephyr sighed inwardly and spoke.
"Senga, I never expected you to become Admiral so quickly. I'm truly happy for you!"
Senga responded with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the teacher's effective guidance."
"No, compared to your talent, my teaching has had a very limited effect."
"Teacher, when did you become so humble? This isn't like you at all. I heard from Fleet Admiral Sengoku that you've been training yourself a lot lately, is that true?"
Zephyr was taken aback, thinking to himself that Sengoku was a talkative fellow. He wanted to wait until he was completely familiar with the abilities of that Mythical Zoan Fruit before going out of the mountain to spar with Sengoku and see if his Great Buddha was stronger or his Ox Demon King was stronger.
It has to be said, you won't know how amazing Devil Fruit are until you try them; once you do, they're truly incredible.
Zephyr, who wasn't particularly interested in Devil Fruit at first, had to marvel at the boost the Ox-King Fruit.
If the Devil Fruit didn't taste so damn awful, he really wanted to say, "It's delicious!"
Now that Senga knows, Zephyr won't hide anything anymore. Besides, Senga gave him the fruit; what is there between Senga that he can't say?
Thinking of this, Zephyr spoke directly.
"Yes, I've already eaten your fruit. It's truly a powerful fruit. I feel my current strength even surpasses what it was back then!"
Upon hearing this, Senga raised an eyebrow. Why did it seem like Zephyr was going through a period of inflated ego?
Zephyr was unaware of what Senga was thinking. What he was thinking was that since the question had already been asked, he might as well let Senga witness his current power.
Moreover, he wanted to see just how strong his student really was, since Kaido and Shanks were no match for him.
Zephyr became increasingly itchy to do it, and his gaze towards Senga gradually changed.
Senga noticed Zephyr's gaze, and, puzzled, asked,
"Professor Zephyr, why are you looking at me like that? Is something the matter? Just tell me, and I'll definitely help you."
Zephyr shook his head and stared into Senga's eyes as he spoke.
"It's nothing, the teacher just wants to have a fight with you!"
"Ah?"
"What do you mean? Are you afraid of hurting the teacher?"
"Um, that's not what I meant, it's just..."
"What?! Take this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr's fist was instantly covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and he slammed it toward Senga's abdomen.
Senga reacted quickly; his body almost instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared at a distance, putting some distance between himself and Zephyr.
It's important to know that ever since he absorbed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his Observation Haki has been constantly amplified by lightning. Moreover, Zephyr's punch was just a test, and it was impossible for him to hurt Senga.
Zephyr was also very satisfied with Senga's reaction. He placed the most emphasis on training students' basic skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have always criticized Kizaru for relying too much on the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Although Senga used her Devil Fruit ability just now, it was based on her keen combat instincts.
However, Kizaru's Taijutsu are actually not bad; it's just that his Glint-Glint Fruit is too useful.
Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu are all top-tier Logia Devil Fruit Ability User, but the Glint-Glint Fruit is clearly the most useful one, and it's also very cool!
Back in the battle, Senga, having created some distance, looked helplessly at Zephyr, who was engrossed in the fight, and thought to herself,
Teacher Zephyr, this is incredibly unethical of you to launch a sneak attack on your student!
However, it wouldn't be bad to let Zephyr enjoy the fun of battle, Senga thought, and decided to spend some quality time with her teacher today.
Having made his decision, Senga's expression turned serious. His hands Sublimation Armament a powerful protective aura, and an extremely oppressive presence erupted from him, clearly indicating his readiness for a serious battle.
Sensing this momentum, Zephyr smiled slightly. He knew that Senga was getting serious, so he had to show his true abilities as well.
The jet-black Armament Haki spread from Zephyr's hands all the way to his elbows. At this moment, the Black Arm Zephyr of yesteryear had returned once more.
Zephyr's eyes were fixed on Senga, and he stomped his feet on the ground dozens of times, using the Six Powers, Shave.
The effect of this move when used on Zephyr's feet would definitely be extremely strong; from completing the movement to teleporting in front of Senga, it would only take a moment.
Zephyr's right arm muscles bulged high as he threw a punch at Senga reciprocated with a punch of his own.
The ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch, and powerful shockwaves swept outwards wave after wave, stirring up clouds of dust.
Without holding out for long, Senga swung his left arm again, and in this cycle, Zephyr unleashed a barrage of punches at Senga.
Senga was also completely aroused by this attack. He didn't use any other abilities, but just threw punch after punch, exchanging blows with Zephyr.
The whole scene strongly evoked a sense of "Ora Ora".
After exchanging blows for a while, Zephyr finally couldn't hold on any longer. He pushed off with his feet, ending the attack.
Senga looked at his fists with a hint of lingering excitement; steam was still rising from them, a testament to the intensity of the punches they had exchanged.
Zephyr retreated to a safe area and calmed his breathing.
A hint of pleasure crossed his face. Although that kind of attack method was quite physically demanding, it was undeniably exhilarating.
At the same time, he also gained a more intuitive understanding of Senga's strength. He knew that Senga had not used his full strength; at least, none of Senga's powerful abilities had been used.
Even so, in the Taijutsu combat just now, he was still clearly at a disadvantage, and he couldn't help but sigh that his student was truly a monster.
It's no wonder that Kaido and Shanks lost to him!
