Slaughter

"Ouch! Mom's not here, I'm going to crush all your bones!"

Weevil rose from the ruins, covered in dust, holding a small knife, his expression extremely angry, his face turning grim.

Although she may seem a bit silly at times, Weevil becomes incredibly terrifying when she's angry, much like Big Mom is a completely different person when she's angry.

A terrifying aura was released, and the surrounding area surged up as if it were a force of life, creating waves of air.

Looking at his head, which had been directly hit by Zephyr's furious punch, there was hardly any damage, not even blood, which shows how strong his physique was.

With astonishing power bursting from his slender, short legs, Weevil swung his greatsword with terrifying force, slashing towards Zephyr.

A black fist clashed with a large sword.

The two top experts engaged in a fierce battle, the commotion of which could be felt from afar, causing continuous tremors like an earthquake, even affecting the edge of the island and sending up giant waves several meters high in all directions.

The other pirates and marines naturally noticed that two monsters were fighting, their strength beyond imagination.

The difference was that the pirates were extremely excited. Frey was right; he hadn't lied to them. There really was a monster helping them hold off former Admiral Zephyr.

Now that former Admiral Zephyr is being held back, wouldn't escaping be easy once these marines are dealt with?

His pirate instincts and cruelty were fully unleashed at this moment, leading to his revenge against the Navy and his rise to fame.

The navy felt somewhat uneasy.

They are now facing a very bad situation. So many powerful pirates have suddenly appeared, putting them under tremendous pressure. They are not even in the same league as the pirates they encountered before.

Several navy personnel protecting them were also held back, blocked, and unable to make a move.

Some naval cadets with insufficient combat experience were caught off guard and killed or seriously wounded.

They are now surrounded by pirate crews, and are at a disadvantage in terms of both overall strength and numbers.

The eight Commodore Rear Admiral were very brave, but they also had to take care of other naval cadets, which made them hesitant and often gave pirates an opportunity to exploit.

Bakin secretly intervened, using his abilities to disrupt the marines' battle strategy, causing them to make frequent mistakes and preventing them from fighting normally and using their full strength.

In terms of providing support, Bakin's abilities are quite powerful, but they have no effect on those who have reached a certain level of strength.

No matter how well one develops their abilities, they must be based on their own strength. Moreover, Bakin has not developed his abilities over the years, not to mention that his strength had long since reached its limit and is now declining.

Thus, apart from Zephyr, the navy as a whole was at a complete disadvantage, with casualties constantly increasing. These naval cadets had not yet undergone enough training, and some of them had already broken down in the face of such a situation.

The experience of facing ferocious pirates is completely different from the beasts you've fought and honed before.

During the battle, Zephyr's expression gradually changed. Weevil's Haki usage skills were not weak, but in Zephyr's eyes, they were very crude, not even comparable to most Marine Vice Admiral.

But in terms of quality, it is undoubtedly world-class.

Coupled with his incredibly strong physique and power, he was unable to cope with it for a while.

In terms of physique and strength alone, Zephyr is no match for Weevil, who possesses a monstrous physique.

Similarly, Zephyr's strength has begun to decline. He is now sixty-four years old. Although he is called a monster, he is much weaker than Garp and does not have the enormous physique and vitality of Sengoku, who ate Mythical Zoan.

Despite lacking the extraordinary physique of the otherworldly Rin, Zephyr has reached his current position through sheer physical prowess and Haki. In terms of skill, Zephyr has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle, surpassing even Garp and Sengoku.

Garp's fighting style is rather brutal.

This is precisely why Zephyr possesses a special talent for teaching.

Zephyr is getting old. Years ago, he burned through his lifespan, making his physical age much older than his actual age. He hasn't reached his peak yet, but his condition has declined considerably.

The hidden wounds accumulated over years of fighting are now beginning to surface.

Youth fears youth, and this is certainly true of Zephyr today.

Facing Weevil, another figure gradually appeared before Zephyr's eyes: a young Whitebeard. Although their appearances were completely different, their terrifying physique and monstrous strength were undeniable.

Zephyr had heard of Weevil, the Whitebeard II, but the headquarters hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now it seems to be true. As for why his appearance is so different from Whitebeard's, it can only be said that appearance reflects the mind; Weevil clearly has mental problems.

When the difference in strength between the strong individuals is not significant, it is impossible to achieve a crushing victory.

Although Zephyr has a considerable advantage in the battle, Weevil's stamina and defense are extremely strong. Even if we want to defeat Weevil, it will take a long time, and it is impossible to do so in less than a day or two.

Zephyr was getting anxious. The battle between the Navy and the pirates was quite intense, and he could sense that the other Navy cadets were in danger.

The commotion from their battle, the destruction of streets on both sides, and the large number of pirates made Zephyr realize that their situation was extremely dangerous.

The sight of students collapsing to the ground one after another caused Zephyr immense heartache.

This made him feel as if he had returned to that desperate moment many years ago.

He absolutely does not want to experience this situation a second time.

"Martial Arm - Coiling Dragon!"

Zephyr unleashed his ultimate move, his signature technique, which could unleash astonishing power but required a great deal of his stamina.

Many Great Pirate have fallen victim to this move by Zephyr, and were captured and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Zephyr was radiating heat, his muscles bulging as he used Life Return to adjust his body, exuding Haki of extreme training.

A black, Haki manifested like air currents, coiling around Zephyr's fist like a dragon.

Weevil didn't even have time to react to the sudden outburst before being struck squarely by the punch.

The earthquake caused a massive crack, and smoke and dust billowed out.

The "crack" sound could be clearly heard; it was the sound of Weevil's ribs breaking.

Weevil's vitality is exceptionally strong, Zephyr is about to leave to save the other naval cadets.

But he stopped in his tracks. Behind him, the fallen figure rose again, casting a shadow in the dust.

"I'm going to kill you, Marine! I'm Whitebeard's son, I'm invincible, and I will never bring shame upon my father!"

Pain will only fuel Weevil's rage. Broken bones are merely minor injuries to a strong person; even with broken bones all over their body, they can still fight.

With its powerful self-healing ability, fractured bones can completely recover on their own.

Weevil knew he was Whitebeard's son, and he firmly believed it because he looked "exactly like" Whitebeard.

Exuding a demonic aura, Weevil's rage had clearly reached its peak.

At this point, Weevil no longer intended to hide his abilities. His mother had told him not to use his powers unless his life was in danger.

Now was the time; his anger compelled him to unleash his full power to kill the enemy before him.

When in a battle stance, Weevil wasn't acting like his usual fool; he was a monster.

The broadsword slashed down, carrying with it a unique and powerful force—an impact compressed to its limit, capable of unleashing astonishing power once it erupted.

At this moment, Weevil's posture was so similar to Whitebeard's that Zephyr felt as if he were looking directly at a young Whitebeard.

The Impact-Impact Fruit is Weevil's ability, which allows him to unleash terrifying impacts. Developing this ability is also simple; it only requires continuously increasing the intensity of the impact.

Bakin obtained it during the Rocks Pirates' constant plundering, hid it, and eventually gave it to his son, Weevil.

She was grooming Weevil to be the next Whitebeard.

Faced with this attack, Zephyr's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly dodged.

With a single slash, a terrifying shockwave erupted, instantly engulfing an area of tens of meters and extending hundreds of meters away. Everything in its path was instantly destroyed by the terrifying impact, including the pirates and marines fighting on the streets.

The battle situation suddenly froze; the terrifying destructive power filled them with fear.

"Run! The monster battle has spread here!"

Someone shouted something.

All the pirates began to flee in all directions, and as for the Marines, they no longer cared about them.

Escaping is the priority now.

Even with Frey and his men, although they didn't wipe out the entire navy, they had already achieved their goal. The loss of more than half of the Marine Elite Training Camp was enough to break the navy's heart, and they had accomplished their objective of retaliating against the navy.

Right now, naturally, preserving one's life is the top priority.

The aftershocks of the battle between the two monsters could kill them; neither of them believed they could withstand the terrifying impact.

The pirates caught in the shockwave had their bodies torn into pieces; they certainly didn't want to end up like that.

Large numbers of pirates began to escape, using the undamaged pirate ships.

Before the navy arrived, some pirates who were not planning to leave moved their ships from the port to other parts of the island.

Therefore, their ships were all preserved intact.

The remaining navy soldiers were panting heavily, each bearing injuries.

But they felt no joy at being saved. Their former companions lay dead all around them; so many people had died. They never expected this ordeal to end like this.

"We're also preparing to evacuate. Professor Zephyr is fighting a monster; we can't get involved."

"I have already notified headquarters. Lieutenant General Novoya, the base commander of the G8 Branch Vice Admiral on his way to provide support, and Admiral Akainu, who is nearby, is also on his way." A Commodore's face was gloomy; there was no joy in such a situation.

Because their losses were simply too severe.

"How interesting! Let's go see what's going on." Steam propels Novoya's body away from the G8 Branch and flies rapidly towards Sony Island.

"I just don't know if it will be in time."

The situation was critical, and this news came from headquarters. Novoya could guess what was going on, since Sony Island was the target chosen by the Marine Elite Training Camp, and if something happened, it would naturally be related to the trainees of the elite training camp.

It's easy to imagine that the elite training camp suffered significant losses.

It's important to understand that this team possessed a top-tier combatant like former Admiral Zephyr, along with four Rear Admiral and eight Commodore —a terrifying force. The fact that this team was involved in an incident indicates the emergence of a formidable enemy, one that even Zephyr would find difficult to deal with.

Driven by a desire to see what would happen, and also by orders from headquarters, Novoya decided to go and check it out.

Of course, at his speed, it would take him at least an hour to reach Sony Island.

As for Admiral Akainu, it will take even longer.

With Zephyr's strength, holding out for an hour should be more than enough.

"Oh no, we can't leave! Those pirates stole the warship!" Bad news arrived: some pirates without their own ships had stolen the warship and sailed away, meaning they couldn't leave.

The battlefield shifted continuously, and the battle between Zephyr and Weevil intensified. With their immense destructive power and formidable abilities, the two were evenly matched.

At least that's how it appears.

Zephyr desperately wanted to shift the battlefield to avoid affecting the remaining navy.

Weevil wasn't stupid, just a little naive and with limited intelligence, but he still possessed some ability to think for himself.

You might not have noticed it at first, but you'll gradually realize it.

Those who are naive yet wield immense power are the epitome of evil, because they have no idea what they might do.

Having followed Bakin for so many years, Weevil also learned some of Bakin's style and approach to writing.

He also sensed Zephyr's difficulty and threat, and didn't want to continue fighting.

A naive yet terrifying smile appeared on his face. He repelled Zephyr with a single blow and turned to head towards the location of the marines.

"What?" Zephyr saw through Weevil's thoughts and hurriedly chased after him.

They wanted to stop Weevil.

"Die, all of you, Marines!" Weevil's massive body moved with extraordinary agility, charging into the ranks of naval cadets amidst terrified gazes.

When the Commodore general in front was cleaved in two by a single blow, the sheer force was something they simply couldn't withstand.

Weevil fought without restraint, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen marines died under his blade, each one powerless to resist.

"You bastard!" Zephyr roared angrily, Weevil with a punch.

"Ouch, that hurts! Now they'll all die!" Weevil unleashed a terrifying slash, killing more than a dozen more marines.

The second impact was blocked by Zephyr's figure in front, who threw a punch. His domineering Haki acted as a barrier, blocking Weevil's attack.

Death was so close to them that even the hopeful teacher Zephyr, couldn't completely withstand it.

Feeling somewhat powerless, they had all become a burden to Zephyr.

Hiding behind Zephyr, Weevil and Zephyr clashed again. Zephyr used all his strength to try and defeat Weevil, but he couldn't. Known as the Black Arm, Weevil, who possessed the Impact-Impact Fruit, was not weak in attack; in fact, he was even stronger.

Suddenly, Zephyr's body stiffened, he had difficulty breathing, and his physical condition suddenly became weak.

"Damn it, why now!"

Zephyr's asthma flared up unexpectedly at this time.

How could Weevil let this opportunity slip by? He unleashed a powerful slash, and at that moment Zephyr, whose asthma was flaring up, couldn't even control his Haki.

"Zzz!"

Zephyr's eyes widened, and he let out a painful scream as one of his hands was severed by a single stroke.

Another strike, the blade slashing horizontally towards Zephyr's chest. Zephyr suppressed his flaring asthma and instinctively activated his Armament Haki defense.

Under the force of the monster, Zephyr was sent flying hundreds of meters away, landing in the ruins.

Immediately afterwards, Weevil turned his gaze to the naval cadets and charged straight at them.

This was a massacre.

"Don't want!"

Zephyr screamed in despair, knowing he could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded before his eyes.

They killed the navy men with ease while Zephyr regained his senses and went to get the medicine.

Zephyr was completely stunned.

Having done all that Weevil was about to deal with Zephyr.

Bakin's voice came through the window, "Son, hurry up, the food is ready. Don't worry about that navy guy."

Bakin was also stunned by Weevil's impressive record, but she was rational. If they killed Zephyr, they would be in deep trouble and would definitely be hunted down by the Navy.

It's pretty much the same now, and besides, naval support might arrive soon. Seeking stability, Bakin wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Now that they have the treasure, they're going to enjoy themselves and keep a low profile for a while.

"Yes, Mom." Upon hearing about food, Weevil completely forgot about Zephyr and quickly left with Bakin.

Zephyr was left alone on the island.
