An Invitation from the Navy's Science Unit!

Storm raised his hand, gesturing towards the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Suddenly, a ripple occurred in the belly of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and the clay surged outwards, revealing the interior.

A huge creature, six or seven meters tall, was fast asleep inside, its loud snoring carrying directly to the outside.

Because of the distance and the other person's unusual sleeping posture, Zephyr couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

But he noticed the messy, pine-tree-like long golden hair, and a particularly striking tuft of white crescent-shaped beard hidden among the golden hair.

Perhaps it was the signal from Zephyr's eyes, or perhaps it was the threat lurking in the shadows.

Edward Weevil, who was fast asleep, suddenly grunted, and his snoring stopped abruptly.

Then, he rolled around on the soft clay, scratched his bottom, mumbled a few words that no one could hear, and then continued snoring.

Zephyr's eyelids twitched slightly as he read this.

This guy, who couldn't even detect an enemy getting close, is the same vicious pirate who nearly wiped out an entire class of Elite Marine Recruit Training Camp a few years ago?

Zephyr felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

At that moment, Zephyr suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

The "Edward Weevil" in Blue-Eyes White Dragon seems quite different from the person he remembered.

The hair, beard, and even the scars on his body are all correct, but he looks smaller and not as fat as before.

"Is he really Edward Weevil?"

Zephyr didn't approach, but instead turned to look at Storm.

"Why do you seem... to have lost a lot of weight?"

"It's not just a feeling, he really has lost weight, and he just recently did."

With a thought, Storm transformed the surrounding earth into soft clay.

A Clay Coffin was transported out from inside the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and appeared silently in front of Zephyr.

"Teacher Zephyr, you can look at this one, she's the real 'thin' one."

Zephyr looked down at the corpse inside the white coffin.

The skinny old woman had no moisture in her body, like a dried-up corpse that had died from being exposed to the scorching sun in the desert.

Even Zephyr couldn't immediately recognize the other party's true identity.

Who is this?

"Buckingham Stussy, I told you, Professor Zephyr."

Storm explained.

"Although I didn't kill this female pirate with my own hands, I did put in a lot of effort in the process of hunting her down."

Hmm, let the Blue-Eyes White Dragon roar a couple of times...

It really wore Storm out.

Buckingham Stussy...

Looking at the mummified corpse inside the white coffin in front of him, Zephyr recalled the short old woman who had attacked the warship at the Rookie Training Camp with Edward Weevil a few years ago, and the blonde beauty from the Rocks Pirates back then.

"They deserved to die!"

"That's what I think too."

Storm nodded, then casually asked.

"Professor Zephyr, do you want to keep this body?"

"Crocodile's [Suna Suna no Mi] has drained all the moisture from this corpse; it's almost at 'specimen' level and should be able to be preserved for a long time."

"... Hurry up and dispose of the body!"

Zephyr was speechless for a moment, then immediately urged.

"Who would want to collect corpses!"

"The Shichibukai, Gecko Moria!"

Storm gave a casual example.

"Since the teacher doesn't want her, I'll just throw her away."

For pirates, the best destination is undoubtedly the sea.

Without hesitation, Storm threw Buckingham Stussy's body into the vast ocean.

Zephyr doesn't need this corpse.

Storm needs it even less.

A mummified corpse fell into the sea, splashing up a few waves.

The seawater churned, and the waves smoothed everything over.

Zephyr ignored Buckingham Stussy.

Now that the old woman is dead, the feud between him and her can be considered completely over.

Zephyr was about to take a step towards Edward Weevil to see what this "Whitebeard the Third" was all about.

But at that moment, Storm suddenly reached out and stopped the other person.

"Wait a minute, Professor Zephyr."

Storm placed his right hand on Zephyr's left arm.

"I've recently made some minor progress in skills development, which might be helpful to you."

As soon as the words left his mouth...

Storm unleashed the power of the Clay Fruit, creating a Clay Doll that looked exactly like Zephyr.

With a swift motion, he severed the Clay Doll's left arm, then weighed and examined it for a moment.

Zephyr's eyes twitched as he watched Storm's actions.

"What the hell are you doing, kid?"

"Immediately."

Storm flashed to Zephyr's right side.

He stretched out his right hand, pressed down on Zephyr's right arm, and at the same time continued to release the power of the [Clay Fruit], directly creating a brand new arm for the latter.

Storm can guarantee that Zephyr's right arm is exactly the same as his left arm!

My hand...

Zephyr raised his right hand and surprisingly felt its presence again after a long time.

He then flexed his fingers a few times, and his brand-new arm miraculously moved in sync with his movements.

Why are there two left hands?

"Sorry, sorry, it was a mistake."

Storm quickly adjusted.

"Teacher, please try again."

Zephyr saw that his "right hand" had returned to its original state and began to perform another activity.

The next moment, he released [Armament Haki], attempting to entangle his right hand.

However...

Snap!

Under Storm's watchful gaze, Zephyr's right hand suddenly exploded, and flesh-colored clay flew everywhere like a shower of flowers.

"... This thing of yours is completely useless! Storm! It can't even withstand [Haki]!"

"It's because your [Haki] is too strong! Teacher Zephyr!"

"I can't believe it, "Storm said helplessly, then pinched Zephyr's right hand again.

"Don't use your full Haki, go easy on me."

No matter what.

Storm also received some education from Zephyr.

He still deeply admired this teacher.

So even if it takes a lot of effort to massage Zephyr's hands, it's worth it.

Storm was willing to do so.

Sensing Storm's sincere feelings, Zephyr stopped urging him.

The two tested it together for a while.

They finally created an arm that satisfied both of them to a certain extent.

Under Storm's careful control.

Zephyr's clay right arm is completely indistinguishable from a normal person's; it looks just like an ordinary right hand, unlike the exaggerated and ferocious giant mechanical arm from before.

Feeling this strange yet familiar right hand, Zephyr once again released [Armament Haki], which wrapped around his fist.

This time, his Armament Haki did not resist the arm, but instead treated it as a special weapon, simply wrapping and binding it from the outside.

Zephyr's right hand was instantly blackened by [Armament Haki].

Black Arm Zephyr appeared before Storm in its complete form.

Zephyr, as if he had acquired a novel toy, tirelessly tested his new right hand.

The Mechanical Arm, crafted by naval scientists using Seastone and precious metals, was indeed powerful.

However, this "Clay Arm" is also a gift that the disciple poured his heart into.

In addition, the "Clay Arm" feels really nice to the touch, and Zephyr likes it a lot.

"I never imagined that you could develop a [Clay Fruit] to this extent."

Zephyr deactivated his Armament Haki, looked at his new right hand, which was no different from his normal arm, and then looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the other side.

"Not only can it create animals, but it can also create arms."

"I quite like the [Clay Fruit]'s abilities too."

Storm said earnestly, and then he added a few more words.

"Actually, I didn't originally plan to make an arm for the teacher, but I didn't expect that the teacher's Mechanical Arm would disappear..."

"So I used my abilities to create a new arm for the teacher. Is the teacher satisfied?"

"How could I not be satisfied? Hahaha!"

Zephyr laughed a few times and patted Storm's shoulder hard with his right hand.

As a teacher, what could be more gratifying than seeing his students grow into outstanding individuals who far exceed his expectations?

"Storm, you... never mind."

"What's wrong, Professor Zephyr?"

Storm looked at Zephyr, whose sudden hesitation piqued his curiosity.

"Does it mean they want more arms?"

Storm unleashed the power of the Clay- Clay Fruit, and one after another, "Clay Right Hand - Zephyr Limited Edition" appeared on the earth.

This scene strangely resembles the Devil Fruit User of the [Hana Hana no Mi] (Flower-Flower Fruit) unleashing their ability...

"These arms created using my abilities, while not as good as the arms I sculpted myself, are still of top-notch quality."

Storm raised his hand to the Clay Arm and said frankly.

"Teachers can take them if they need them, but they should be replaced regularly."

"If you don't have enough arms, just let me know and I'll make some more for you."

"No, it's not a problem with my arm..."

Zephyr shook his head. He hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"But it's also a problem with the arm."

"My previous Mechanical Arm has already been delivered to Punk Hazard Island."

"According to the scientists there, it may take another one to two years for that arm to be fully repaired and reach its ideal state."

"I originally had a plan: once that mechanical arm was finished, I would establish my own 'Marine Guerrilla Unit' to hunt pirates."

"But now, Storm, you've made me a fairly durable arm..."

"So, Storm, do you want to come with me to the 'Marine Guerrilla Unit'?"
