"Uh, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Luo Wen said somewhat awkwardly.
He didn't want to fight Zephyr; Zefa was over 70 years old and had a lot of health problems.
Besides, Zephyr just joined, it wouldn't be good to beat him up right away.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the power of Godslayer."
Zephyr stared intently at Luo Wen, showing no sign of backing down.
"Okay, that's enough."
Seeing Zephyr's expression, Luo Wen had no choice but to agree.
Go easy on me!
Gion whispered a reminder.
She knew exactly how strong Luo Wen was. Even if Zephyr were young, he wouldn't have been able to withstand more than a few moves from Luo Wen, let alone now that Zefa was so old.
Moreover, Zephyr is now old and weaker than her, making him even less of a match for Luo Wen.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Luo Wen nodded and said with a smile.
"Haha, Gion, you underestimate me far too much!" Zephyr laughed and said, "Though I am old, I will not be defeated so easily."
"Let him go all out, I can handle it!"
Zephyr was quite confident; with his top-tier Armament Haki and physical skills, he could have gone toe-to-toe with the Four Emperors when he was young.
Even in his old age, he still possesses formidable power, and he wouldn't suffer a crushing defeat against Luo Wen.
Of course, winning is impossible; he still has that much to lose.
"Tch~"
Gion rolled her eyes.
Once Luo Wen goes all out, he'll know how powerful he is.
Binz and Ain were also curious; the battle between Professor Zephyr and the legendary Godslayer must be incredibly exciting.
"Chief Instructor Zephyr, please go first."
Luo Wen gestured for him to proceed.
Letting Zephyr make the first move was naturally to test Zephyr's strength.
Otherwise, with his brute strength, which is almost twice that of Kaido, Zephyr might not be able to withstand it.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Zephyr didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted Luo Wen's kindness.
Then, he took out two small round pieces and put them in his mouth.
"Chief Instructor Zephyr, maybe we should just forget about it?"
Cold sweat broke out on Luo Wen's forehead.
Seeing this scene, he finally remembered.
The head instructor in front of us, Zephyr, needs to take medication to fight due to his advanced age and other injuries.
It seems that once we return to Dressrosa, we'll need to have Mansherry give him a proper treatment.
Or simply transform him into Heroic Spirit Body and let him do his job properly.
"Haha, it's alright, I'm going now!"
Zephyr laughed heartily.
"Steel Fist - Thunder Strike!"
The Crusher was enveloped in jet-black Armament Haki.
His right arm was severed by Whitebeard, but it became even more powerful after being replaced with Crusher.
The enormous Crusher fist moved rapidly through the air, producing a thunderous sound.
The resulting airflow swept outwards, blowing Ain and Gion's hair upwards.
"It seems that Teacher Zephyr still has some skill."
Gion was somewhat surprised.
The power of this strike is comparable to Garp's Fist Bone series.
No wonder Zephyr dared to fight pirates; his strength is enough to deal with the Shichibukai.
Facing this punch, Luo Wen neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead Armament Hardening and met it head-on.
Boom!
Zephyr Crusher with Luo Wen's fist, producing a loud bang.
"Hmm, that's roughly Aokiji's level of physical combat skills."
Feeling the strength in his hand, Luo Wen knew what was going on.
Just like Aokiji's physical skills back then, he could defeat Shichibukai like Jinbe with just those physical skills.
However, he's still one and a half Kaido behind him.
"This young man is really strong!"
Zephyr was also secretly alarmed.
His blow to Luo Wen's fist was like hitting an iron mountain; it had no effect whatsoever.
In that instant, he knew he was no match for Luo Wen.
Although Luo Wen didn't exert any force, he could sense the terrifying power contained within that body.
Putting aside other methods, his monstrous physical attributes alone are enough to give Garp a run for his money.
No wonder Aokiji and Garp were no match for Luo Wen.
No wonder Gion told Luo Wen to go easy on him.
If he used his full strength, he'd probably be smashed into a potato pancake.
However, the question now is, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to just admit defeat like this?
"Chief Instructor Zephyr is truly vigorous despite his age!"
Luo Wen exclaimed in admiration, then clenched his fist and charged forward.
With a mere flicker of his body, he appeared before Zephyr.
The veins on his arms bulged, and his punches were so fast that they even made a loud bang in the air.
"Gulp~"
Zephyr started to panic.
That ferocious punch looked like it was going to kill someone!
Didn't you say to go easy on me?
Why did the intensity suddenly increase?!
Zephyr didn't even have time to surrender; he could only throw a punch at the attacker.
Boom!
The scale of the event was even larger than before.
The aftershocks of their exchange of fire even caused the warship beneath their feet to sway.
After exchanging punches, Zephyr took two steps back, Luo Wen took three steps back.
Zephyr had surprisingly gained the upper hand.
"Um!?"
Zephyr looked at Luo Wen in surprise.
The punch looked powerful, but it actually had little power, and he didn't have much trouble following up.
"Chief Instructor Zephyr is still as sharp as ever!"
Luo Wen shook his fist, pretending that it hurt.
He naturally didn't use his full strength; in fact, he controlled his strength even less than Zephyr's.
There's no other way; we can't exactly give them a hard time as soon as they join, can we?
I see.
Zephyr immediately understood that Luo Wen was deliberately giving him face and letting him save face.
"Let's go again. Today, I'm going to have a good sparring session with Chief Zephyr."
Luo Wen chuckled as he spoke, then clenched his fist and charged forward again.
Zephyr understood immediately and engaged in a passionate battle with Luo Wen.
The force of the punches was overwhelming, each punch resembling a thunderous roar.
The old man and the young man were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
"Zephyr is that strong!?" *3
Ain, Binz, Gion cried out in alarm.
Ain and Binz were naturally pleasantly surprised, never expecting that Professor Zephyr could engage in such an intense exchange with the world-class Luo Wen.
Gion, on the other hand, was surprised and doubtful. In her understanding, Zephyr was definitely no match for Luo Wen. Even the Four Emperors couldn't beat Luo Wen like that.
Suddenly, in the midst of their intense exchange of blows, Luo Wen shouted, "Fist Bone - Galaxy Impact!"
Then, with overwhelming force, they fought to a draw with Zephyr.
"I see."
Gion's surprised expression immediately calmed down.
[Fist Bone - Galaxy Impact] is Garp's signature move; what does Luo Wen know? This is clearly just acting.
After taking the hit from Luo Wen's 'Fist Bone Galaxy Impact', Zephyr was also starting to lose his grip.
This is getting increasingly outrageous. Is the next thing going to be a Thunder Bagua?
Zephyr stepped aside and voluntarily stopped fighting.
Meanwhile, Luo Wen on the other side was still somewhat unsatisfied; he hadn't had enough of acting yet.
"Ahem~" Zephyr coughed twice and said seriously, "Luo Wen is powerful, I humbly admit defeat."
"No, no, Zephyr Instructor Zephyr is still as valiant as ever."
Luo Wen cupped his hands in greeting and lifted Zephyr up again.
"Haha, Your Luo Wen Lowen, you flatter me!"
Zephyr waved his hands repeatedly, but his face was beaming with a smile, and he looked at Luo Wen with even greater affection.
This kid has him completely under his thumb.
"..."
Looking at Zephyr's tsundere appearance, Luo Wen smiled slightly.
Indeed, the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.
