"Huh!?"

At that moment, Zephyr, who was standing in the coated pipe and observing Luo Yi from afar, had already noticed something was wrong.

He saw that Luo Yi's body, which had been slightly bent due to the pressure from the water, was beginning to slowly calm down.

Then...

In Zephyr's astonished gaze, Luo Yi's figure gradually straightened.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

From within his bones, sounds like the explosion of metal rang out.

Then...

Zephyr saw Luo Yi actually raise his hand slightly and wave at him.

And Zephyr, of course, knew the strength required to make this simple gesture at a depth of 5,000 meters underwater.

"Luo Yi, your body..."

Even this well-informed former Admiral couldn't help but look at Luo Yi, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

His voice carried an undisguised shock.

He had been studying Luo Yi's training reports for some time, and considered himself to be more familiar with Luo Yi's physical condition than Luo Yi himself.

But without a doubt, Luo Yi at this moment had once again shattered his understanding.

"Yeah."

At this moment, Luo Yi nodded without hesitation: "I think I've adapted, Teacher Zephyr."

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence.

Last time, he had already planted the idea in Zephyr's mind that 'Luo Yi Amos is a monster-level genius with special talents.'

So now, he naturally didn't need to find any extra reasons—that would only seem more suspicious.

And the truth was indeed so.

"Adapted?"

At this moment, Zephyr's expression showed obvious gravity after hearing Luo Yi's words.

But he still didn't doubt Luo Yi's words—Luo Yi was in the sea right now, so he certainly wouldn't think Luo Yi was an Ability User.

Therefore...

"Such a physique is simply unheard of!"

Zephyr shook his head with emotion.

"Teacher Zephyr, I don't like hearing you say that."

Hearing this, Luo Yi retorted righteously.

"What do you mean by physique? My becoming stronger isn't all due to my physique, it also includes my own real efforts, okay?"

"Effort."

Zephyr rolled his eyes at Luo Yi after hearing this.

Although he had been busy recently, he also knew about Luo Yi's situation in the base—lazy and drinking Cola every day, not even close to putting in effort.

However, he didn't say much, but said: "Are you sure you've adapted? Don't push yourself—you must tell me if there's any discomfort in your bones, muscles, or internal organs."

He would rather slow down the progress of training than let Luo Yi, his only heir at the moment, get injured.

"Of course."

Luo Yi nodded and smiled: "I'm sure, they're all very healthy."

And it was precisely when he was saying this.

If Zephyr could see through his body, he would inevitably discover.

Whether it was the bones and internal organs within Luo Yi's body, or his incredibly powerful muscles under the blessing of the 'Wind God Dragon', 'Great Buddha Fruit' and 'Strong-Strong Fruit'.

At this moment, they all carried a metallic luster like steel.

And in Luo Yi's eyes, the truth of everything at this moment was clearly displayed on the light screen.

[Fruit Slot·4: Vacant→Slicing-Slicing Fruit LV3] [Slicing-Slicing Fruit] [Fruit Ability - Can turn any part of the body into a blade and harden it] [Effects at Each Level] [LV1: Obtain weak fruit effect, weakly enhance body defense and hardness] [LV2: Obtain partial fruit effect, can use body to turn into a blade and enhance defense, hardness enhanced to 'crude iron', requires consumption of 60 million/20 million Belly for permanent/temporary unlock] [LV3: Obtain all fruit effects, can turn body into a blade and enhance defense, hardness enhanced to 'steel', requires consumption of 300 million/100 million Belly for permanent/temporary unlock] [LV4: Deep development of the fruit, can make the blade transformed from the body rotate and deform, body hardness enhanced to 'refined steel', greatly enhance body hardness and sharpness, requires consumption of 1 billion/300 million Belly for permanent/temporary unlock]

[LV5: Fruit Awakening · Myriad Slices, allows control of the surrounding environment to transform into blades to slash enemies, with sharpness sufficient to cut through mountains, and self-hardness increased to 'alloy'. Requires consumption of 6 billion Belly/2 billion Belly for permanent/temporary unlock]

That's right.

At this moment, Luo Yi had already loaded the Slicing-Slicing Fruit into his fourth Fruit slot.

And Luo Yi had planned the enhancement of this Fruit long ago.

"Although the Slicing-Slicing Fruit can't be said to be a very powerful Paramecia, it's even an inferior version of the 'Weapon Fruit' in terms of the diversity of its abilities."

"However, its effect of enhancing body hardness is an extremely practical ability, and it will hardly be noticed unless you turn your body into a blade."

Luo Yi knew very well the advantages of this Fruit—practical and cheap, it could be called 'good value for money'.

According to Luo Yi's plan, his next clone would use this Fruit.

It's just that Luo Yi didn't expect that his next clone hadn't used this thing yet, but he was using it here first.

"Hmm."

After confirming that Luo Yi seemed to have completely adapted to the water pressure of this 5,000-meter deep sea.

Zephyr sighed again in his heart, and then no longer hesitated.

"Since you have adapted."

Zephyr's body began to be entangled with Armament Haki.

The pitch-black Haki completely enveloped Zephyr's body, making him seem to merge with the pitch-black sea.

Then Zephyr jumped, directly passing through the coated pipe and entering the deep sea.

"Follow me."

Zephyr waved his hand, and then led Luo Yi to swim towards the deeper depths.

There was only silence in the deep sea.

Even after loading the Slicing-Slicing Fruit, and his body's defense was enough to withstand the water pressure, Luo Yi still struggled to swim in this darkness.

"So strong."

Looking at Zephyr in front, who was covered in Armament Haki and seemed effortless, Luo Yi couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

But it was at this moment

"Hmm!?"

Luo Yi's heart suddenly stopped.

Because at this moment, he could clearly perceive the changes around him.

"Has the resistance of the sea water become stronger?"

"No, no, it's not right."

He murmured in his heart, but soon came to the correct conclusion.

"It's the sea water ahead—something's wrong with them!"

As he came to this conclusion, he also heard Zephyr's voice.

"It's coming."

Coming?

What's coming?

Luo Yi's heart instinctively gave birth to doubt.

But the next second, the scene before his eyes made his pupils shrink suddenly.

At this moment, in the already deep and dark deep sea.

More huge dark figures appeared.

The size of those figures could almost be described as spanning the entire deep sea.

They had long and thin bodies, seemingly huge and incredible 'giant snakes'.

Each one was long and boundless, and even the thickness was like the size of a mountain.

And on their 'trunk', Luo Yi could see patches of starlight, like scales.

It was also with the help of that little bit of light that Luo Yi saw clearly what those 'giant snakes' were.

They are. Sea currents!

Those 'scales' were deep-sea luminous organisms and mineral debris, and the huge body was the trajectory of the sea current.

So, Luo Yi knew what this thing was.

"Marine Giant Gyre?"

Just as mentioned before—the location where Luo Yi is now is in the deep sea below the 'Marineford' island.

And as the world knows, Marineford, Enies Lobby, and Impel Down form a 'triangular structure' in the sea area, guarded by three Gates of Justice.

The three Gates of Justice are closed all year round, forming a place called the 'Sea of Justice'.

And within this unique sea area, there exists the Grand Line's largest known underwater ocean current.

Its name is the 'Marine Giant Gyre.'

Its existence in this area prevents almost all ships outside of the World Government and the Marines from passing through, forcing them to circle endlessly.

"That's right!"

Zephyr said in a deep voice.

"It is the 'Black Snake'—existing at the bottom of Marineford, a part of the 'Marine Giant Gyre.'"

"Old man."

Luo Yi found it difficult to even speak.

"You're not going to tell me that the so-called 'formal training' is..."

"Exactly—resisting the water pressure of the deep sea is just the beginning. What you truly need to face are these 'Black Snakes,' and then overcome them!"

Zephyr's words were clear and powerful.

Luo Yi's assessment of this was simple.

"This old man is a madman!"

He knew that none of these old Marines were easy to deal with.

Zephyr had the nerve to say that Garp's training method of smashing a mountain with his fists was 'reckless'—was enduring underwater ocean currents with one's body any less reckless?

No, rather, was such a thing even possible?

But at this moment, as if he could hear Luo Yi's doubts.

"Luo Yi, watch closely!"

Zephyr's aura suddenly changed.

Luo Yi could clearly see.

The pitch-black Armament Haki on Zephyr's body seemed to become tangible at this moment.

That rich and unparalleled Armament Haki began to flow continuously, as if it were alive.

Luo Yi knew, of course, that it was 'Flowing Sakura'—the highest application of Armament Haki.

But what Zephyr was using at this moment was clearly not ordinary 'Flowing Sakura.'

Luo Yi could see that Zephyr's feet, waist, legs, and even his bulging muscles.

Every part of his body's muscles and bones were constantly flowing with the movement of 'Flowing Sakura.'

Not just his skin, even the blood and veins flowing within him seemed to be dyed black with Haki.

It was as if his entire body was frantically cooperating with 'Flowing Sakura' to change, squeezing out the limits of his potential.

Watching this scene, Luo Yi's eyes widened.

"Tempering the whole body, stimulating potential."

"This is..."

Then, Zephyr's actions confirmed Luo Yi's guess.

No fancy moves, no unnecessary actions.

Zephyr simply clenched his only left fist and punched the 'Black Snake' in front of him!

"Black Body Flow Secret Art: Mountain Shatterer!"

"Buzz--"

Then, Luo Yi saw in astonishment.

At the moment Zephyr threw his punch, an unprecedentedly terrifying shockwave erupted.

The seawater within this deep sea was instantly split in two by the massive Haki.

And a huge hole, hundreds of meters in diameter, instantly appeared in the massive, seemingly unstoppable 'Black Snake' ocean current.

That's right.

That massive underwater ocean current was severed by Zephyr's punch!

Luo Yi was almost stunned.

Then, there was only one thought in his mind.

"Coach, I want to learn this!"
