Rewind-Rewind Fruit, Then I Beg for Disappearance (True Fragrance Ball Ticket)

"Hmph! Fine!"

Zephyr stood to one side and let out a cold snort.

Although he had not provided the students with any information about this brat in advance, their performance today both pleased and infuriated him.

From the perspective of teaching students, these students were looking down on their opponent so much that, as their teacher, he was naturally even more angry.

"Then all of you go together. I also want to see just how much you've improved from your practical combat training at sea." Zephyr spoke with extreme seriousness, even walking off to one side.

Making it clear that he would not interfere with the battle so easily.

"Yes, Teacher!"

These Marines, all of whom possessed decent strength, nodded on the spot.

They had fought pirates several times at sea recently and had gained more or less some practical combat experience. Rubbing their fists and stamping their feet, they began surrounding Norse.

Norse looked disdainfully at the group and said teasingly, "Heh... I've just realized that there aren't many among you who interest me. Then I'll conduct a major screening first. Only those who pass will be qualified to fight me."

The several dozen people besieging him completely erupted upon hearing this. They all brought out their best techniques and launched attacks at Norse.

Zoshu, the disheveled Longarm Tribe member, clenched both fists as Armament Haki covered parts of them. He roared, "Bastard! So what if you can step on empty air? You've landed now. Do you think we'll let you take off again?"

"Heh... Take off? Why would I need to take off?"

A Maria smile appeared on Norse's face, while a perfectly round golden sphere of light emerged over his body. Like a sun with no destructive power whatsoever, it enveloped his entire body.

In fact, this was another form of the sun—compassion.

"Benevolent Domination!"

As Norse spoke, the golden sphere surrounding him began radiating dazzling golden light in every direction, instantly covering the entire Marine warship.

The light was incomparably warm, its gentle sensation like the first sunlight of spring caressing all things, like the most beloved mother releasing the most selfless love.

Those attacking Norse—

Some stopped in their tracks on the spot and lowered their weapons. They simply could not summon even the thought of attacking Norse before them, looking utterly at a loss.

Those with stronger wills and greater perseverance began struggling against themselves, attacking Norse at the center step by step. But as time passed, only three people remained capable of resisting Norse's Benevolent Domination.

"Very good. Just as I expected, you managed to break free from one-tenth of my power's domination. At your current level, that is enough to be proud of. I'm quite pleased, so I've decided to give you three moves!"

At that moment, the sun on Norse's body vanished back into him, and the golden radiance covering the entire Marine warship returned to Norse in an instant.

"What? That was only one-tenth?" Zephyr, standing nearby, was finally moved.

"You don't believe me?"

Norse looked toward Zephyr and said arrogantly, "Hehehe... If I used my full strength to dominate them with this power of light, do you think they'd have even the slightest chance to struggle? Even Admiral Zephyr wouldn't have it easy. Hahahaha... I told you not to underestimate me."

"Hmph! You brat may be arrogant, but you do have the capital for it. Still, even ants have their moments. You seem to have become far too arrogant." The corner of Zephyr's mouth kept twitching.

He was extremely displeased by the other party's arrogance. If this power had not been filled with goodwill, he would have found this brat Norse increasingly detestable long ago. He might even have considered crippling him and turning him into an ordinary, unremarkable person.

"Hahaha, who said that?"

Norse did not care in the slightest. It's only three moves. Nothing to fear!

"Come on, you may begin. Whatever you're capable of, use it all on me."

Norse directly crooked a finger in provocation at the three of them: Ain, who possessed the Rewind Fruit; Binz, who possessed the Shove-Shove Fruit; and Zoshu, whose physical strength had reached its limit.

The three looked at one another, all deeply displeased. They all bore a grudge against Norse for making their teacher lose face.

So there was no need for Norse to deliberately remind them. They all knew what to do.

Ain was a blueberry-haired loli, around sixteen years old and 1.7 meters tall. At that moment, she seemed to already see Norse's fate in her hands.

She walked toward Norse one step at a time and said, "I possess the power of the Rewind Fruit. Though I still can't make everything in the world affected by this power, from the very beginning, I've been able to affect living creatures with it."

"Hmph hehehe... If you're afraid and regretful now, I can consider letting you apologize to my respected teacher, then admit that you're an arrogant stupid pig. I, Ain, can consider using it on you just once, with only one move!"

"Loli Ain, from the first moment I saw you, I became super interested in your ability. How about following me from now on?"

Pretending not to have heard a word she said, Norse instead tried to drive a wedge between them. "What use is there in following Zephyr? He's no longer as good as he was back then. And you're such a, such a loli—only by coming to my side will you find your best choice and destination."

"Tch... Boring!"

Ain furrowed her brows, completely unable to understand what Norse meant.

She only felt even more displeased. Zephyr was the person she respected most, so she said coldly, "After my three moves, you'll vanish directly from this world. No, just two moves will be enough for you to disappear completely!"

"Oh? That sounds like a very interesting ability. Then I'm begging you to make me disappear. Please make sure you do it—don't disappoint me!"

Norse was incredibly calm inside, not panicking in the slightest.

After all, she wanted to rewind his time? How could she possibly do that?

At most, she could probably rewind him to three years ago.

But three years ago, he had already been incomparably powerful. If he had not fallen into the sea at the time, he would have long since become one of the emperors dominating the New World.

"You, you, you..."

Loli Ain was so angered that she gritted her teeth. A peach-colored power immediately appeared over her right hand as she said through clenched teeth, "Hmph! If you dodge, or fail to take it, it will count as you being defeated by me, Ain!"

"Of course!"

"But for a cute little loli like you, I've decided to give up using any more power and take your moves with nothing but my flesh and blood!"

Norse said casually, lighting a white-paper cigarette and taking a leisurely drag.

The naval recruits around them nearly lost control and went berserk on the spot.

Even Zephyr beside them could barely stand watching anymore. Just how powerful, arrogant, and invincible did someone have to be to put on such an outrageous display?
