A small boat emerged from behind the rocks, carrying two figures.
The leader was a blond man who was over five meters tall, with a bulky build, and wielding a naginata.
However, compared to his bulky upper body, his feet were surprisingly small, not even half the size of his upper body.
Meanwhile, snot was dripping from his nostrils, completely out of character for his imposing physique, coupled with his goofy expression.
It gives people a completely out-of-place feeling.
It's easy to imagine that the knife strike just now came from his hand.
Standing behind him was an old woman, less than a meter tall, with a withered face, wearing a black tight leather jacket, adorned with luxurious jewelry and sunglasses, and leaning on a cane.
Upon seeing Zephyr and the others, the old woman couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, as expected of my precious son, that strike just now was indeed powerful, even breaking through the Armament Haki of former Marine Admiral Zephyr."
"It seems my precious son truly deserves to be Shichibukai."
"No wonder the World Government has extended invitations repeatedly."
"Mom, are we going to kill all these people and sell them to the black market? Just like before!"
The slightly immature words rang out, causing Zephyr's expression to change drastically.
At that moment, they finally understood why there was no trace of anyone on the boats and in the towns along the way.
It's probably this strange old man and young girl right before our eyes who did this good deed.
However, upon hearing the old man mention the Shichibukai, everyone present couldn't help but turn their gazes towards Zephyr.
This time, they came to Hels Island, also because of the temporary invitation they had accepted to join the Shichibukai.
Could it be that these two are the people they invited on this trip?
Zephyr's face turned ashen. After glancing at the two men several times, he said in a cold voice.
"Edward Weevil, Miss Bakkin, you actually colluded with the black market to traffic people and even attacked the Marine Headquarters fleet. How dare you even know that the World Government invited you to Shichibukai?"
"Could it be that you don't want to be in office anymore?"
Edward Weevil, Miss Bakkin?
Upon hearing these two names, the expressions of the freshmen present also changed drastically.
At first glance, they indeed didn't recognize the origin of this strange group.
However, after Zephyr pointed out their identities, the bounty posters they had memorized in the academy all came to mind.
This is a pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli.
He was even hailed as the Whitebeard Jr..
Rumor has it that this guy is Whitebeard's biological son.
At first, many of them didn't believe it.
However, looking at that physique and appearance, and that astonishing explosive power just now...
They were starting to believe it a little.
If it weren't for this guy, who gives off an impression of low intelligence and being out of place.
They genuinely suspected that Weevil was a carbon copy of Whitebeard.
"Hehe, Zephyr, it's been a long time since we last met. It seems like it was more than thirty years ago."
Miss Bakkin gave a strange laugh.
"However, didn't you just say that the World Government invited us to become the Shichibukai? Of course, we have certain exemptions and privileges. Does that mean we can't even kill a few people at will?"
"I've heard that before becoming Shichibukai, everyone does something extraordinary. My son is still young and was quite clueless before, not knowing what to do."
"Originally, I was planning to have my precious son snipe that Fourth Admiral from your Marine Headquarters. I heard he's Shichibukai Slayer."
"It's a pity that he's dead now, and my precious son never had the chance to kill him. It's rare to run into a former Marine Admiral here. I think it would be good to use you to enhance my precious son's reputation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Miss Bakkin suddenly raised the cane he was using.
"My precious son, slaughter them all and establish your legendary name on the high seas!"
Zephyr's expression changed drastically.
He had already heard that this combination of an old man and a young man was like a madman.
However, they never expected the other party to be so crazy as to actually attack them.
" Miss Bakkin, have you gone mad? Are you really not afraid of the wrath of the Marine Headquarters?!"
Zephyr roared.
Miss Bakkin grinned menacingly.
"What are you afraid of? Even if we kill you, we can still become Shichibukai."
"Once we become Shichibukai, all those so-called Shichibukai Slayer will be dead. Who would dare to touch us then, unless you all stop listening to the World Government?"
"So, you'd better just be a stepping stone for my precious son!"
" Weevil, go and kill them!"
"Okay, Mom!" Weevil sniffled hard.
The next moment, he gripped the naginata tightly with both hands, stomped down hard, and charged towards Zephyr and the others like a cannonball.
Bang!
The small boat shuddered violently, Weevil's seemingly enormous body unleashed a terrifying speed that was unexpected, all within a few breaths.
In an instant, it rushed from dozens of meters away to the front of the warship.
The naginata he held in his hand emitted a chilling whistling sound as it slashed down heavily towards him.
"Mom said, you can all just die."
Bang!
A blade of energy, seven or eight meters long, was casually cleaved out.
The students on deck suddenly changed their expressions drastically.
This sudden and unexpected confrontation completely overturned their understanding.
Most importantly, this is a bounty of 500 million Beli, and he's said to be comparable to Whitebeard in his youth.
Feeling the impact looming over them, the hundreds of students were momentarily unable to react.
"Everyone, step back."
Zephyr's face darkened, and he rushed out.
The moment the jet-black Armament Haki covered his hands again, he delivered a powerful blow head-on to the incoming blade energy.
Bang!
The shockwave from the explosion surged back like a tidal wave, creating massive waves across the entire ocean.
The naval recruits, just realizing what had happened, turned pale instantly, and even felt a stinging pain in their eardrums.
Seeing Zephyr shatter the seven- or eight-meter-long blade aura with a single punch, they not only showed no joy, but also saw Weevil take advantage of the slight opening to rush to Zephyr's side.
"Mom said, 'Go to hell, don't waste my time.'"
"Go to hell!"
Weevil sniffed again, and the naginata in his hand burst forth with a dazzling light as he brought it down on his head once more.
This time, the burst of sword energy reached a full twelve or thirteen meters, causing Zephyr's pupils to suddenly contract.
Without a second thought, he roared and unleashed another powerful punch.
