Who Will Be the Future Air Force Marshal?

"Damn it, I... I am... a messenger of God."

Wrath, Enel scrambled to his feet from the cratered ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Fueled by rage, he endured the pain in his back and channeled more electricity into his body, causing his large, white wings to burst forth with bright, azure light.

[Sizzle sizzle sizzle]

In the blink of an eye, the lightning on its wings formed a lifelike, coiling Thunder Dragon around its body.

"Sixty Million Volts Thunder Dragon!!"

As his angry shout fell...

The Thunder Dragon, imbued with terrifying Raiden, let out a high-pitched roar and charged toward Borsalino.

Although it is in the shape of a dragon.

But because it is essentially still electricity, it is still as fast as lightning.

The average person's eye can barely make out a thick, long streak of lightning flashing through the air the moment it begins to move.

"That's enough, Electric Kid."

Seeing Enel launch another attack, Zephyr quickly Hardening his left hand with Armament Haki.

Before he could finish speaking...

A massive, jet-black fist, as large as a bowl, swung out and smashed the Thunder Dragon that was about to pass by. Instantly, a deafening boom was accompanied by a sky full of blue lightning that exploded in the arena.

"You!!"

Enel was furious and glared coldly at Zephyr, but he didn't hurl insults at him because he recognized the other's identity.

Even before he arrived, he had already reviewed the information on all the current ministers, Fleet Admiral, Admiral, and those aspiring to be Admiral in the entire army on the Ark.

Although his status as Shichibukai and the powerful abilities of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit make him extremely arrogant in character.

But he wasn't really the kind of brainless, impulsive fool who didn't even respect Fleet Admiral Admiral.

Perhaps Enel in the 'original work' was like that, but now he's more worldly-wise and knows exactly who he can mess with and who he can't.

Zephyr walked up to Enel and laughed, "It was I who had Borsalino test your skills, and the result is that you are still far from being good enough."

"Snort!"

Enel couldn't refute this and could only turn his head away in displeasure, only to hear Zephyr say again, "However, you have great potential. At least Borsalino didn't have this kind of strength when he was your age."

"."

Enel's mood improved considerably upon hearing this, and his expression naturally softened. Zephyr, who witnessed this, chuckled inwardly, thinking, "He's still just a child."

However, what he said wasn't untrue.

Enel is eighteen years old this year, almost nineteen, and is indeed much stronger than Borsalino at the same age.

At that time, the latter not only lacked the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, but also received absolutely no training in any other aspect.

Besides possessing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, the former has already mastered the Rokushiki and Haki with the elite members of CIPHER POL on Noah.

Zephyr asked, "I can help you catch up with him as quickly as possible. How about it? Would you like to accept my special training?"

He has always enjoyed teaching, and this trait was amplified after he became Minister of the Military Affairs Department; he wanted to teach any promising talent he saw.

Also, Zephyr doesn't want Enel to become another Borsalino.

He still felt that Devil Fruit abilities should serve as supplementary abilities to Physical Arts and Haki, like those of Sengoku, Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Sakazuki, Kaido.

These beings may appear to frequently use Devil Fruit abilities, but their physical strength is immense.

His physical strength and Haki presence are very solid.

Borsalino, though he calls himself a swordsman, his core fighting ability is not Swordsmanship but the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

His Swordsmanship is based on the speed granted by the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Or rather, he never intended to pursue the path of swordsmanship, which is why Zephyr felt he relied too much on his Devil Fruit abilities.

Previously, they had been locked in a five-day stalemate with Borsalino during the 'Paramount War'.

The fight ended in a draw, and Ikkō successfully earned the qualification of 'Marine Headquarters Admiral Candidate' and the title of 'Fujitora'.

He was also in his thirties, possessed Bleach Swordsmanship of Great Swordsman, and also possessed a top-tier Devil Fruit.

That's the true fighting style of a swordsman. The power of the Press-Press Fruit is completely integrated into Swordsmanship, giving them a few additional countermeasures.

In Zephyr's eyes, Borsalino was less of a swordsman and more of a pure Devil Fruit User.

Physical Arts, Swordsmanship, Haki all serve to support his Devil Fruit ability.

This is putting the cart before the horse!

"Hmph, what can you do to help me?"

After a moment's hesitation, Enel couldn't resist the temptation of greater power and asked, tilting his chin slightly.

Zephyr didn't care about the kid's arrogance and immediately gave his advice. "First of all, don't take out that spear made of Raiden again."

"Then continue to study the essence of the Hasshoken's control over Shockwave, while not neglecting the practice of the Rokushiki until you master its profound meaning, the 'Rokuogan.' 'Life Return' is also a required course."

"Finally, you'll need to fight, fight, and fight some more. You must constantly battle against the strong to hone your will and Haki!"

At this point, Borsalino, having found that he was no longer involved and satisfied his curiosity about Enel, immediately transformed into Flashy Flash and left.

Neither Zephyr nor Enel paid any attention.

After pondering the former's words for a moment, the latter asked, "So you're going to teach me 'Rokuogan' and 'Life Return,' and even fight alongside me?"

"Teaching you these things is no problem, of course, but I don't have that much time to play with you." After saying that, Zephyr thought for a moment and then gave Enel another suggestion.

"Once you've mastered the 'Rokuogan' and 'Life Return,' you can go to the Giant World to find Kaido; he should be happy to."

At the same time, there was something he kept to himself but didn't say aloud.

Kaido doesn't know his own strength, and with Enel's current strength, the whole process will probably be very painful. However, he believes that this will help him hone his Haki.

Furthermore, Zephyr had a strange feeling about Kaido.

Through his interactions with Kaido over this period of time, he vaguely sensed that Kaido seemed to share similar fetishes with him, only his methods were more brutal.

"I see."

Enel felt a little uncomfortable with Zephyr's sincere kindness and immediately turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared from the spot.

"Hehehe, so she actually has a shy side!"

Zephyr smiled.

On the way here, Kuzan called and told him about his previous encounter with Enel.

Therefore, it's known that Enel was trained by the Celestial Dragons, and may even be a subordinate of Imu. As for the reason for sending him to the Air Force, it's not hard to guess.

It's simply a matter of planting a spy here.

Zephyr also suspected that the Army and Navy had someone like Enel, such as the previously mentioned 'Fujitora' Issho, but he couldn't tell who it was on the Army's side.

But Zephyr didn't think these things mattered, since they didn't have anything to hide.

Regardless, it's a good thing that the Celestial Dragons are willing to use their resources to strengthen their military.

"With that bastard Shiki coming soon, the three Air Force Admiral will be basically complete. But Enel is clearly aiming to become Air Force Admiral. So who will replace me as Fleet Admiral?"

Zephyr crossed his arms and gazed at the magnificent Justice Fortress in the distance.

"In terms of ability, Shiki is a perfect fit, but his background makes it impossible. Kaido seems suitable too, but he is, after all, One Piece."

"Polusari. Uh, that's the most ridiculous thing ever!"

Zephyr shook his head, trying not to think about such an absurd thing; he couldn't even imagine Kizaru becoming Fleet Admiral.

"So, could Enel be Celestial Dragons sent specifically to occupy the position of Air Force Marshal?"

Although this idea is somewhat unbelievable, given Enel's age, strength, and experience are clearly insufficient, it doesn't seem impossible for him to reach the level of Admiral in the future.

As long as you have the strength to meet the requirements, age and seniority are nothing compared to the Celestial Dragons.

Unless Borsalino is willing to step forward and compete with Enel for the position of Fleet Admiral, which everyone knows is impossible.
