"Victor Senior!"

Upon seeing Victor appear, Wright and Connor immediately perked up.

Nunn looked at Victor, then looked in the direction Victor had appeared from.

He's going to deal with Jonathan first, I assume.

Nunn thought to himself.

At this moment, Lor's eyes widened, and he looked down at his abdomen.

He had been wounded by the Crescent Slash Victor had kicked out!

"How is this possible!"

Lor looked forward in disbelief.

Although his strength wasn't the strongest within the Jonathan Pirates, his defense was the strongest.

When they encountered the Roger Pirates, Lor had even blocked an attack from Pluto Rayleigh!

Victor walked over calmly, each step pressing down on Lor.

Lor dropped his shield, clenched his fists, and covered his entire body with Armament Haki.

"Ah!"

With a roar, Lor found courage through his shout.

Lor and Victor were less than a hundred meters apart.

With a few long strides, Lor arrived in front of Victor. He stopped abruptly, clasped his hands together, and slammed a cannon fist down at Victor below.

A deafening sound was heard, the ground shook violently, and the dust and mist kicked up by the fist energy obscured everyone's vision.

At this time, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and the others were all watching the front.

During their graduation internships, they had already mastered Haki.

Just how strong is he? Borsalino wondered to himself.

During their time at the military academy, Victor had already displayed terrifying talent and formidable strength.

Although Victor, Sakazuki, and Borsalino's names were mentioned in the same breath, all being monstrous existences.

Borsalino, however, felt that Victor was the true monster.

Or rather, a monster among monsters!

As the smoke and dust cleared, Victor was seen calmly blocking Lor's cannon fist attack with just one hand. Lor's eyes were wide with rage, his face contorted, and veins bulged all over his body.

Clearly, Lor had given his all.

"You did your best."

Victor said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lor felt an immense force, and his entire body was sent flying.

RUMBLE!!!

Lor's body tumbled across the ground, smashing countless trees, rocks, and small mountains before finally stopping.

Nunn's brow furrowed, his eyes unable to hide his shock.

He had initially guessed that Sengoku wanted to train the Navy's new generation.

However, after witnessing the strength of Victor, Sakazuki, and Borsalino, he seemed to understand Sengoku's intention.

This wasn't just about training; it was also about allowing them to accumulate merits and prestige in a short period.

He was nurturing these three individuals!

Especially Victor.

Victor had currently displayed 'monstrous' strength!

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Victor remained in his punching stance.

He had just sent Lor flying with a single punch, a distance of over a thousand meters!

This was too exaggerated!

The battle was over.

All that remained was to clean up the battlefield.

The medical team began treating the wounded, and the fallen Navy soldiers were placed into body bags.

Victor walked over to Wright, Connor, and the others.

Wright had a fractured left arm, four broken ribs, and damage to his heart, lungs, and liver.

Connor's injuries were not serious, but he would still need some time to recover.

"Are you alright?"

Victor proactively asked Wright and Connor.

"Just a minor injury." Wright tried to get up, but the doctor pushed him back down.

Victor said to Connor and the others, "Sweat more during training, bleed less in battle. You need to train harder."

"Yes!" Wright and Connor perked up and answered loudly.

"Alright, get some good rest. Only when your body is fully recovered can you punish evil."

After Victor finished speaking, he turned and left.

"When will I be as strong as Senior Victor?"

"Senior Victor's Tempest Kick just now was incredible."

"I remember that move was called Crescent Moon Sky Charge."

"Yeah, I want to learn it too, but it's so difficult."

After Victor left, Wright and Connor started chatting about Victor's Tempest Kick.

Tempest Kick: Crescent Moon Sky Charge.

In the Rokushiki Cultivation Insights, Victor believed that to master offensive Body Arts like Finger Pistol and Tempest Kick, the prerequisite was to temper the body into a weapon.

When using kicking techniques, one must treat their legs like blades, with the standard for training being the ability to cut steel.

While the two were discussing Rokushiki, the Marine Soldiers finally found Jonathan.

Jonathan was still alive.

However, Jonathan's body had suffered severe injuries.

His internal organs were damaged, his bones were broken, his muscles were torn, and his blood vessels were ruptured.

It was fortunate that Jonathan was an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit user.

Otherwise, Jonathan would have certainly died.

When Jonathan was dragged to the seaside by a group of Marine Soldiers, Nunn and the others saw his condition.

"Aside from a heavy kick to the face, there are basically no external injuries."

"However, the internal injuries are very serious."

After reviewing the examination report, Nunn looked towards Victor, curious about how he had managed it.

Marineford, Marine Headquarters.

Sengoku received a report from Branch G5.

The Jonathan Pirates had been eliminated.

Jonathan, Great Shield Roh, and Black Shark Usare were captured alive, while Zombie Rex was killed.

The number of pirates eliminated reached over 1600, with nearly 400 captured.

The results of this operation were very fruitful.

However, Sengoku was more concerned about the performance of Victor, Sakazuki, and Borsalino.

In fact, Nunn's guess was correct.

Sengoku sending Victor and the others to Branch G5 was not only to temper the three of them but also to allow them to accumulate battle achievements and prestige.

In the coming decades, Victor and the new generation were the future of the Navy.

Victor's performance had also greatly satisfied Sengoku.

Nunn's evaluation of Victor's strength was 'monster'.

Victor was only 20 years old now!

Furthermore, Victor had not yet eaten a Devil Fruit.

How to cultivate Victor and the others to become the Navy's strongest fighting force?

Sengoku needed to discuss this with Kong and seek approval from the Gorosei.

Sengoku was confident that the Gorosei would take this matter seriously.

In the Fleet Admiral's office.

The current Navy Fleet Admiral, Kong, was reading the battle report submitted by Sengoku.

The mission to capture Jonathan alive this time was not a private order from Sengoku.

Sengoku was not like Garp; he wouldn't do anything that would displease his superiors.

After reading the battle report, Kong said, "I will go see the Gorosei."

The World Government controlled most of the Devil Fruits, and the Navy and special agents directly under the World Government were constantly recovering Devil Fruits.

However, to ensure 'safety', the World Government needed to observe and test for 'loyalty' before providing Devil Fruits.

The rarer and more powerful the Devil Fruit, the less room for error.

Otherwise, if betrayal occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The World Government did not want to be backstabbed by its own power!
