A Single Punch, a Crushing Defeat

"Shave..."

Moke vanished from his spot once more, only to reappear in front of Zephyr.

"Shigan!"

He aimed his index finger at Zephyr and thrust it forward with Inazuma speed. The target was Zephyr's chest; if it hit, it wouldn't necessarily kill him instantly, but it would at least severely injure him.

"Paper Drawing!"

Zephyr was not afraid of being careless.

He immediately used the evasion technique from the Six Powers, controlling his body with the ease and freedom of drawing on paper. He could even contort his entire body in a strange way.

The principle behind this move is to relax the entire body and rely on the airflow generated when the opponent launches an attack to dodge all attacks at the last second. It can be used flexibly in various combat situations.

Zephyr easily dodged Moke's attack using this move.

Moke's eyes flashed. He had to admit that the Paper Drawing technique among the Six Powers was absolutely divine. Once mastered, it could be combined with powerful Observation Haki.

That would almost guarantee an invincible position.

At the same time, Zeze seized the opportunity and punched Moke in the abdomen. The powerful force sent Moke flying. However, it didn't hurt him at all. He somersaulted in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

Moke looked down at himself, then at Zephyr, and said with a hint of helplessness, "It seems that without revealing his true form, it's probably impossible... Truly worthy of being a former Marine Admiral."

In the end, his tone turned to admiration.

Then Moke stretched out his hand, pointing his index finger at Zephyr: "Six Powers - Quake Finger Pistol!"

"Click click..."

Cracks appeared in space at the tip of Moke's index finger. Then, a Spear Wave shot out, and wherever the Spear Wave passed, cracks appeared in space as well.

This shows just how terrifying the power of this attack was.

When Zephyr saw this attack, his pupils shrank to pinpoints.

"Whitebeard's Quake-Quake ability? Combined with the Six Powers?"

It has to be said that Moke's move really shocked Zephyr.

Despite the shock, their reaction was quick.

"Crusher!"

Zephyr swung the Crusher directly at Moke's Flying Finger Pistol, which was imbued with Quake-Quake ability.

"Rumble..."

A powerful force collided violently between the two. Powerful gusts of air formed Shockwave that swept outwards, shattering the ground and sending debris flying into the air.

"Click click..."

But the Quake-Quake from that attack was terrifying.

Even Zephyr's incredibly sturdy Crusher couldn't withstand the pressure and developed cracks.

"Um?"

Zephyr's pupils contracted. He knew that his Crusher was made of a special metal. Since its creation, no one had ever been able to budge it even a fraction of its size.

But now... it's showing signs of crumbling.

Zephyr's lips twitched involuntarily, thinking to himself, "Truly worthy of Whitebeard's Quake-Quake ability."

"So strong..."

Not to mention him, even Reiju, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was shocked. You have to understand, Moke and Zephyr had been fighting evenly, and Zephyr even had a slight advantage.

After all, he had hit Moke several times in a row.

Although it didn't cause any real damage to Moke, it was truly impressive. It fully demonstrated the strength expected of a former Marine Admiral.

But to everyone's surprise, after Moke used his Devil Fruit Ability, the situation was immediately reversed.

"Boom..."

At the same time, Zephyr roared and unleashed all his power, forcibly changing the direction of Moke's Spear Wave, sending it soaring into the sky.

The Spear Wave exploded high in the sky.

It blasted a huge hole in that area of clouds. Luckily, the clouds were big enough, otherwise they might have been blown apart.

"Collapse..."

Zephyr and Moke exerted their strength almost simultaneously, bending their legs slightly, pressing their bodies down, and leaning forward.

The terrifying force slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater. Then, almost simultaneously, the two of them shot out like cannonballs.

The distance between the two people rapidly closed.

Just as the two were about to collide, Zephyr coated the Crusher with Armament Haki Coating Zephyr. At the same time, Moke's hands were also covered in Armament Haki. However, this time, it was no ordinary Armament Haki.

It's actually Ryuo!

"Boom... Boom..."

The two clashed fiercely once again, but this time, neither of them yielded an inch. Punch after punch, the two were like two tireless machines.

It wasn't until after dozens of punches that the two finally stepped back.

They were facing each other from twenty meters away.

Moke looked at Zephyr, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Truly worthy of being the previous Admiral; even in his old age, he still possesses terrifying strength. However... now, I'm about to unleash my power..."

"Shave!"

Moke disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Zephyr.

Zephyr seemed to have anticipated this.

He threw a punch, aiming for Moke's chest. But Moke was prepared. He also threw a punch, but this time his fist had a white halo around it.

This is a sign of the ability to generate Quake-Quake.

Zephyr's pupils constricted upon seeing this, but... he did not back down. Instead, he accelerated his punch, unleashing two hundred percent of his full power... Such immense power exceeded what his old and ailing body could handle.

His body trembled slightly.

The expression on his face also became somewhat distorted.

It is clear that at this point, the power he unleashed was already at his limit.

"Boom..."

Their attacks collided once again. Terrifying power clashed repeatedly between them.

But this time, Zephyr's Crusher could no longer withstand the strain.

It shattered completely.

"Not good..."

Zephyr's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to turn back. The next second, Moke's fist slammed into his chest. Under the immense force, Zephyr could no longer withstand it.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Then he was sent flying backwards, like a cannonball, traveling over a thousand meters. He crashed into a small hillside. The powerful impact even caused the hillside to collapse.

This shows just how terrifying the power of this attack was.

"Gurgle..."

Reiju swallowed hard. If she and Judge had harbored even the slightest ulterior motive before, she no longer did.

Real!

Even combined, she, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji were no match for Moke. Moreover, the Moke Pirates had many other powerful members.

If they harbor any further ulterior motives, they'll likely face certain death.

She also made up her mind to tell Judge everything she had seen and to advise him to work obediently under Moke and not to have any other thoughts...
