Sabaody Archipelago, Island 60, Marine base.
Inside a gym, the floor was covered with thick steel plates, and all kinds of "super-heavy" workout equipment were arranged within.
Sephiroth wore a black tracksuit, his medium-length hair hanging from his head. In his right hand, he held an alloy iron bar wrapped in transparent Armament Haki, preventing it from deforming under the excessive weight...
Five heavy steel barbell plates, each one and a half meters in diameter and twenty centimeters thick, were threaded onto the alloy bar!
Sephiroth now seemed to be wielding a weightless wooden sword, swinging it up and down at an unhurried, steady rhythm...
More than a month passed in a flash.
By now, Sephiroth had thoroughly familiarized himself with his work and grown much closer to the officers at the base.
Aside from his routine duties, all he needed to do was deal with pirates who dared cause trouble in the Sabaody Archipelago.
As for pirates who behaved themselves, got their ships coated, and entered the New World—as well as drug deals, human trafficking, and other illegal activities—he chose to turn a blind eye.
It was not that Sephiroth could not handle such matters, but there were too many things involved. He had no desire to wade into those murky waters...
Of course, if he discovered pirates with Devil Fruit powers, he would secretly hunt them down regardless of whether they had caused trouble...
The Sabaody Archipelago was where pirates from the Four Seas gathered, and the chances of encountering Devil Fruit users were far higher than elsewhere.
Over the past month or so, through the bat surveillance network he had set up along the Sabaody Archipelago's coastline, he had discovered four pirates with Devil Fruit powers.
The Sonic Fruit, Vulture Fruit, Slip-Slip Fruit, and Mole Fruit.
