The Navy Had Suffered Heavy Losses-Zephyr's Furious Pursuit

Facing an attack from a powerful group of pirates who outnumbered them, these naval cadets were under immense pressure.

Normally, they only fight pirates with bounties of fifty or sixty million. If the bounty is higher, Zephyr will protect them and intervene whenever an enemy appears that they cannot handle.

This is a trial, not a suicide mission. But right now, Zephyr is being held back by Mostima. The sky is Mostima's domain, and feathers are floating in the air. Zephyr can't let Mostima go. He knows very well that it's Mostima's threat. If he relaxes his pursuit of Mostima, these feathers will fall and kill his students.

While chasing Mostima, he couldn't Mostima him due to Mostima's speed, and his students would also have to face these powerful pirates and bounty hunters.

This is a dead end, a choice between two options, and either way, there will be huge losses. Now he can only see if his students can persevere.

It is believed that the Marine Headquarters will also send support. This situation is very unfavorable for the Navy, especially for these younger generations of naval personnel, who cannot afford to suffer too many losses.

And the losses have already begun, in a way completely different from the enemies they have faced before—a one-sided battle.

"Hahaha! Is this the future elite of the Navy? No future." A pirate laughed loudly. His bounty was around 90 million. He held a large sword and had just killed three Navy cadets. These cadets were not proficient in the Six Powers, having only mastered a few of them. Although Shave could unleash amazing speed in a short time, these pirates' combat instincts were far superior to theirs.

"You bastard!" A naval cadet glanced to the side and saw his close comrade dead at the hands of pirates, and shouted angrily.

He forgot that he was still on the battlefield, still in the midst of battle. To be distracted in battle was incredibly foolish. "Kid, you're asking for death!" Seeing his opponent, who was at a disadvantage in battle, still concerned about the life or death of another, the bounty hunter couldn't help but sneer. At such close range, he fired a shot, hitting the naval cadet directly in the calf. Two shots in quick succession sealed his movements.

A look of pain crossed his face, but the outcome was already sealed; the bounty hunter chopped off his head with a single blow.

Having killed the naval cadet, the bounty hunter breathed a sigh of relief. According to Mostima, he could now leave. He planned to hide for a while, knowing that although he was a bounty hunter, he would eventually become a pirate and have a bounty placed on his head by the navy.

Within minutes, half of the naval cadets were killed, and the death toll was still rising. After all, the difference in strength and combat experience was too great. In order to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible, these pirates and bounty hunters showed no mercy. They cared more about their own lives than being wanted and hunted by the Navy.

Some people had already completed their tasks and left without anyone stopping them, which only fueled the fighting spirit of the others.

Some pirates, in their merriment, even killed several naval cadets.

Of course, there were a few other outstanding figures in the Navy who were quite strong, but they were only barely holding on. As a swordsman, Gion's sharp Sword Qi killed many pirates in succession, and the corpses of these pirates lay all around.

However, she was under immense pressure. She had reached the bottleneck of Swordmaster, but had not yet become Swordmaster. One by one, her companions were dying around her. Her opponent was the Jetman Kaski. Her arms were frostbitten, and some of her skin was burned. This kind of pirate with a bounty of over 100 million was not someone she could deal with.

Fortunately, the Navy arrived with reinforcements. Squads of Navy soldiers rushed over. These were not reinforcements from the Marine Headquarters, but from the Sabaody Archipelago Marine Branch. After settling the Celestial Dragons, they received the notification and immediately rushed over. Leading them was Rear Admiral Lincoln. He hadn't expected the situation to be so dire, especially with the thousands of corpses on the ground. Some of the younger Navy members couldn't help but vomit.

"Don't disturb my battle!" Kaski, somewhat displeased. The powerful Kaski was immediately targeted by these naval soldiers, with bullets constantly being fired at him.

"Then let's clean you up first." He wore a cruel smile, his body was covered in wounds, and his face was covered in blood, left by Mostima earlier. He looked extremely ferocious.

"Jet Rocket!" "Jet Crematorium!" Kaski shouted excitedly, and his entire body suddenly flew up. Jet nozzles appeared under his feet, shooting out strong air. The reaction force carried his body into the air.

It swayed slightly in the air, then quickly regained its footing, its hands transforming into two jets that aimed directly at the approaching naval formation.

"Not good, scatter quickly!" Rear Admiral Lincoln, the leader of the group, couldn't help but change his expression and shouted, moving aside. He could imagine what Kaski was going to do. As one of the few pirates in Paradise with a bounty of over 100 million, the Navy knew a lot about Kaski.

A powerful torrent of flames erupted instantly, crashing into the navy's formation. The surrounding ground burned, Kaski controlled the direction of the jets, quickly creating a wall of fire—a death sentence for these navy personnel. Except for Rear Admiral Lincoln, the rest of the navy were completely engulfed in flames.

"Haha, die!" Kaski laughed wildly. After the encirclement was formed, scorching pillars of flame fell into the crowd, and screams of pain filled the air. At this level, apart from a few lieutenants who managed to break through the flames with slight burns, the other marines were completely unable to withstand the power of the flames.

As Kaski said, it's a crematorium.

Using Geppo, Lincoln charged directly at Kaski. As a Rear Admiral, Lincoln's strength was undoubtedly formidable; he was the strongest among the Marines present, second only to Zephyr.

Kaski had already noticed the Marine rushing towards him. His Jet-Jet Fruit ability also allowed him to fly, and if controlled properly, he could fly very fast.

Kaski couldn't help but sneer, controlling the force of the jet thrust beneath his feet. An even stronger blast of air erupted from his feet, propelling him rapidly upwards. Even Lincoln, riding his horse, couldn't catch up.

His strength is not comparable to Mostima's, but dealing with this Rear Admiral is still a piece of cake.

Kaski followed Mostima's example, moving continuously through the air. His jets of air were incredibly fast, though not as silent as Mostima's, they were far more powerful. Flames erupted from his hands, billowing thick smoke and creating a scorching heat that turned the area below into a living hell.

Compared to Mostima's instant kill, this method was far more cruel and painful—being burned alive.

After Mostima, Kaski shone brightly on the battlefield. Although he was defeated by Mostima, they all knew that Mostima, and even Marine Admiral Zephyr couldn't do anything about him.

Moreover, the reporters couldn't see the fight or the chase between the two men at all; they could only observe the situation on the battlefield below.

This familiar scene unfolded as Kaski charged straight at Lincoln in mid-air, his arms bent at a ninety-degree angle. At each of Kaski's elbows, a jet nozzle extended backward. The combined force of the recoil from his feet and elbows, along with the power of his punch, transformed Kaski's fist into a jet nozzle.

With a powerful impact, Kaski's fist slammed into Rear Admiral Lincoln's abdomen in an instant. Lincoln's eyes widened, his pupils contracted sharply, and in mid-air, his body seemed to fall apart as he was propelled by Kaski's powerful impact.

Kaski's fist, which had transformed into a jet nozzle, instantly unleashed intense flames, engulfing Lincoln's body.

Lincoln's body fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground like a falling comet, with a faint red glow still visible – the light of flames.

"Rear Admiral!" a surviving major cried anxiously, rushing towards the spot where Lincoln had fallen. Dust billowed from the ground due to the powerful impact. Many people were curious about the fate of Lincoln, Rear Admiral in the navy. Kaski's performance just now had been truly amazing; it was a move that combined speed and power.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the scene that appeared on the field was horrifying. A large crater had been smashed into the ground, and Rear Admiral Lincoln's body lay on the ground. There were two holes in his abdomen that had been burned away by the flames, and his entire abdomen had been pierced through. He was completely dead and could not possibly be alive.

Kaski's move caught Teach's eye. He took back his previous words; this ability still had great potential, and Kaski had developed it very well.

With Kaski's abilities, his bounty will quickly exceed 200 million after arriving in the New World. If he works hard, he has great potential for improvement, and reaching a bounty of 500 million is very possible.

"This is a disgrace to the Navy! These arrogant pirates must be executed!" The people at Marine Headquarters had been watching, and the more they watched, the angrier they became. One Marine Vice Admiral, one Rear Admiral, and over a thousand Navy soldiers had already died.

This is a live broadcast, watched by so many people. With such a record, the Navy has become a stepping stone for pirates to gain fame, making the Navy appear so incompetent. It's easy to imagine that if this isn't handled properly, it will definitely be a blow to the Navy's reputation.

"Has Borsalino arrived yet?" Sora muttered to himself, then turned to Sengoku. "Let's call a Den Den Mushi to check on him."

The Marines sent by the Marine Headquarters to provide support were none other than Borsalino, the fastest of the Marines. He was very fast, but that didn't mean he was at the speed of light; it was probably several times the speed of sound. It would only take him one or two minutes to travel from the Marine Headquarters to the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Den Den Mushi on his chest rang. "Bru-ru." Borsalino took out the Den Den Mushi, keeping it in flight, and asked calmly, "Hello, what's up?"

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, Borsalino." Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle, and they're not even giving me a raise." Borsalino sighed and hung up the Den Den Mushi. "What can I do when I'm the one who's capable enough to do more?" The next moment, he transformed into light, bursting forth with even greater speed.

As the battle continued, these naval cadets died one by one. Some pirates and bounty hunters did not kill the naval cadets because there were simply too many of them and not enough to go around.

Seeing Mostima being relentlessly chased by Zephyr and having disappeared, some pirates assumed that Mostima had lost interest in them and was sneaking away. And indeed, that was the case; one after another, soon enough, all the pirates and bounty hunters had fled, including Kaski.

They weren't stupid. So many navy personnel had died here. Zephyr was being held back by Mostima, and the navy cadets had been reduced to only seven in full view of everyone. Two of them had lost limbs and were practically useless, while the others were also seriously injured.

These are the future of the Navy! The new generation of naval personnel are all drawn from these Zephyr naval cadets. It would be strange if the Navy didn't go crazy; they'll definitely send out powerful naval forces again. This time, there's no one like Mostima to hold them off.

They all fled in panic, disappearing to who knows where. Some hid, while others simply sailed away.

Zephyr, with his Observation Haki, could naturally observe the situation on the battlefield. He wanted to help them, but he was held back by Mostima. If he made any move to leave, Mostima's feathers would be aimed at the direction of the battlefield. At such a distance, it was impossible for him to arrive before the feathers fell. Mostima's feathers were useless to a strong person like him, but they had great destructive power against those who were not strong.

If they leave, they will all die; but if they stay, denying Mostima the opportunity to attack, his students will have a glimmer of hope.

Of all his students, only seven remained, and several others were in dire straits. Although Mostima wasn't the one who did it, this outcome wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Mostima.

Moreover, Mostima is much weaker than him. Zephyr has captured at least a dozen pirates of Mostima's strength in his life, yet he is now unable to do anything about Mostima.

For the first time, he had the thought of killing, channeling his grief over the deaths of the naval soldiers and the sacrifice of his students into power and rage towards Mostima. At this moment, Zephyr had already used Life Return, unleashing an astonishing speed and terrifying power. Mostima felt as if she were being stared at by a prehistoric beast.

He ran with all his might, and his eyes just caught sight of a mark, an ordinary fist mark, but it was the mark Teach had agreed upon with him, which he would use to notify him when he was threatened and needed to escape.

Although Zephyr is a great threat to him now, Mostima knows that Zephyr still can't do anything to him. Even with Life Return, Zephyr's speed in the air is still no match for Mostima's.

Mostima can create distance between herself and Zephyr with a few skillful maneuvers.

This means that reinforcements from the Navy have arrived. With a simple guess, Mostima could tell that the only one who could come to help so quickly was Borsalino, the Devil Fruit User.
