Making Zephyr Cry with Genjutsu

To be honest, this was truly a little unbelievable. If Devil Fruits could control Genjutsu, he could believe it, but there was nothing in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia that could make people enter illusions.

Devil Fruits could only provide indirect Genjutsu abilities. For example, Gecko Moria's Firefly-Shadow Fruit could briefly make someone enter an illusion when shadows were extracted or added.

Then there was Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit, which could likewise briefly put someone into an illusionary state when extracting souls.

Of course, there were others as well, but they only caused people to enter illusions indirectly. None of them could make someone fall into an illusion with a single glare like Mu Chen.

Thinking of this, Zephyr became extremely curious. "Mu Chen, use your Genjutsu on me. Let me experience it."

Mu Chen did not think much of Zefa's request. "But Teacher Zefa, you can't be on guard. With an admiral's strength, it's impossible for my current abilities to affect you otherwise."

"Understood."

Zephyr then relaxed, and Mu Chen directly activated his Blood Sharingan. This was the first time Zephyr had seen Mu Chen's Blood Sharingan up close. He had to admit, those eyes were captivating.

The next second, while Zefa had his guard down, his gaze became vacant. Mu Chen knew his Genjutsu had taken effect.

Mu Chen's Blood Sharingan was already in its Three-Tomoe Form. He did not know how long it could affect an admiral. As Garp had said, if someone at the admiral level wanted to break free from Genjutsu, it would probably take only 0.5 seconds.

Mu Chen simply waited for Zephyr to wake up. At that moment, in Zephyr's mind, he was standing outside his own home.

Zephyr was initially stunned when the door suddenly opened.

"Father, you're back!"

The one who opened the door for Zefa was a young boy, whose features were seventy percent similar to Zefa's. The instant Zefa saw the boy, he became emotional. "Dear, come in quickly. I've already prepared the meal!"

At the same time, a beautiful woman appeared at the door. Zefa could no longer hold himself together. Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face, and even in reality, tears flowed from the corners of Zefa's eyes.

"Teacher Zephyr..." Mu Chen had no idea what had happened. Why was Zephyr crying? Then, in the next second, Zephyr woke up. The moment he saw Mu Chen, an indescribable feeling rose in his heart, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

Zefa took a deep breath. "Mu Chen, thank you."

Mu Chen was even more confused this time. Why was Zefa suddenly thanking him?

"Mu Chen, you let me see my deceased wife and child. It was so real."

Though it had only lasted a few seconds, Mu Chen understood. So that was what it was. Still, he felt sorry for this Admiral Who Refused to Kill because of what had happened to him. But in the next second, Zefa wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Your ability is very powerful. Although I wanted to remain in the illusion, my strength is what it is, and my instincts compelled me to break free. So it took me less than three seconds. If I had broken free with all my strength, I estimate it would take around one second."

"And your Genjutsu lets people see the scenes they most dread or most want to see. It's a very good ability."

Mu Chen had done this deliberately. There were many kinds of Genjutsu, and the most effective was making someone see the scene they least wanted to see, or the one they most wished to see. There was also Illusion Cage, but it had little effect on someone this strong. After all, he had already tested it on Garp. Another method was for Mu Chen's consciousness to enter someone else's illusion, but his current abilities were still lacking.

"Actually, the strength of my Sharingan is related to my own strength. The stronger I am, the stronger my Sharingan becomes."

Mu Chen had tested this as well. Not only did upgrading the Sharingan make it stronger, but increasing his own strength also made the Blood Sharingan stronger.

"So you know that, yet you still slack off every day? Now that you've become my student, I won't let you slack off anymore."

Zephyr suddenly changed the subject. Good grief, he changed his attitude fast. Wasn't everything fine just now?

But that put Mu Chen in a difficult position. "Teacher Zehua, slacking off is my creed in life. Otherwise, I might as well die."

"Hey!"

Zefa was simply furious at Mu Chen's words. How had he never seen a student like this? A Marine like this?

"Teacher Zephyr, everyone has their own creed in life. But don't worry, even if I slack off, I'll still become very strong."

"You brat, you dare say that? You've got quite the nerve!"

"If I require you to learn Armament Haki within one month, then I'll agree to let you slack off. Otherwise, you'd better train properly."

Hearing this, Mu Chen thought Zephyr was quite the schemer. Even monsters like Borsalino and Sakazuki had taken nearly three months to learn Armament Haki, yet now he was being asked to learn it in one month. Wasn't this outright bullying an honest man like him?

But after thinking it over carefully, if he exchanged through the system, it would cost 10,000 Slacking Points. With his current double Slacking status, slacking off for three hours a day would earn him over 1,000 points. Wouldn't that mean he could get it done in ten days?

It seemed this could work. "But Teacher Zephyr, you can't stop me from slacking off this month, and you also have to agree to our previous agreement." Mu Chen immediately made Zefa fulfill their earlier agreement. This angered Zefa greatly. He had thought Mu Chen was truly a genius, and with a Blood Sharingan like that, he wanted to nurture him properly. But why did he like slacking off so much?

"Teacher Zephyr, that's my only request. If you won't agree, then you might as well send me back to East Blue to be a major."

"Mu Chen?"

"Mu Chen, you're really going to anger me to death. You... Fine, fine, I agree."

Zephyr was indeed thoroughly angered by Mu Chen. Good grief, I have never seen a Marine like this. Does he really have no ambition at all?

Seeing Zefa agree, Mu Chen smiled faintly.
