His jet-black fists unleashed a fierce attack, swirling with Armament Haki, and struck out with tremendous force in an instant.
It collided head-on with the incoming attack.
Boom!
The twelve- or thirteen-meter-long blade of energy shattered once again.
It unleashed a massive impact, several times greater than before.
The naval recruits, who had retreated more than ten meters away, were thrown overboard before they could even regain their footing, crashing heavily onto the surrounding cargo and ship's hold.
Before they could react, Zephyr, who was at the center of the explosion, was sent flying backward.
I managed to stand firmly on my feet about seven or eight meters away.
An unusual flush appeared on his originally gloomy cheeks.
The bizarre scene caused the faces of the freshmen present to change instantly.
Has this meant they've fallen behind in a direct confrontation?
In the distance, on a small boat, Miss Bakkin, with a strange smile on her face that resembled withered tree bark, chuckled.
"As expected of a former Marine Admiral, your strength remains as formidable as ever."
"However, if I run into Garp and Sengoku this time, I will definitely turn around and leave, but Zephyr, you're too old."
"My precious son, forget about this old man for now. Kill all the other brats and see who this old man can save first."
As soon as Weevil landed on the deck, being a good boy, he listened to his mother as always.
He immediately snorted coldly, glanced around the arena, and then spoke.
"Hmph, you old man, I'll kill you later."
"Mom is right. Since you like saving people so much, I'll kill the others first."
Bang!
Weevil strode forward again, charging headlong into the crowd behind Zephyr.
The sudden turn of events caught not only the students off guard, but even Zephyr himself hadn't anticipated it.
Seeing Weevil arrive in the blink of an eye, Zephyr the Roar first.
"Get out of the way quickly."
Boom!
A blade of energy, seven or eight meters long, slashed down with the force of Weevil's naginata.
The dazed recruits had no time to dodge; all they could do was use various methods and draw their weapons to Guard.
However, those so-called Tekkai, Shigan, and other such techniques...
Under Weevil's naginata, he was as fragile as paper.
Bang!
A blade of energy, seven or eight meters long, instantly tore through the crowd and slashed down onto the ship's cabin.
The hundreds of new recruits who had gathered were directly overturned and thrown out.
Amidst the splattering of blood, some were even severed in two with a single stroke.
Looking at the corpses scattered all around, let alone the other students...
Even Zephyr's eyes reddened, and he the Roar hysterically.
" Weevil, you're asking for it!"
Zephyr roared and charged toward Weevil.
Unfortunately, we only got two or three steps closer.
Weevil, who had been facing away from the camera, suddenly turned around.
That mentally challenged face was filled with excitement.
The naginata he held in his hand slashed down diagonally at an incredible angle.
The blade was not only covered with jet-black Armament Haki, but also with Ryuo.
Zephyr's expression changed drastically. At that moment, he finally understood that it was all bait and a decoy.
Their real objective was still to deal with him.
Boom!
A blade of energy over twenty meters long erupted, instantly slashing at Zephyr.
The massive impact sent Zephyr flying, smashing the ship's mast in half.
Amidst the flying debris, the entire deck of the warship was torn to shreds.
When the dust settled, Ain and the others saw Zephyr in the ruins, and their pupils suddenly contracted.
Zephyr, who was originally known as the Black Arm, now had his entire right arm covered in blood, with a deep, gruesome wound that revealed the bone, running across his shoulder.
It's ruined!
My entire arm is ruined!
Due to a deliberate attempt to outmaneuver the unsuspecting opponent, Zephyr suffered more than just a hidden loss.
They suffered a fatal loss.
The drops of blood falling onto the deck were a truly shocking sight.
"Professor Zephyr, we're here to help you."
Ain's face turned pale instantly, and she rushed out.
Binz, who was standing nearby, also rushed out immediately.
The remaining freshmen hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and followed.
For a moment, the remaining two hundred-plus students, though seemingly a formidable force, only made Zephyr's face flush red.
"No, don't come any closer, you're no match for him."
"Run! Everyone scatter and run! There might still be a chance!"
" Miss Bakkin, I sent out a plea for help before I came. You dare to lay a hand on my student; you will surely die."
A the Roar roar echoed across the deck.
At this moment, Zephyr really panicked.
These new recruits are indeed excellent.
However, it was simply not presentable.
Against ordinary pirates, they might be able to manage some minor skirmishes.
Unfortunately, the person in front of us is known as the Whitebeard Jr..
Zephyr dared not have the slightest bit of wishful thinking.
"Heh, Zephyr, do you really think I'm senile? This is the first half of the Grand Line; the person capable of killing my son hasn't been born yet."
Miss Bakkin grinned menacingly.
"My precious son, kill them!"
"Okay, Mom!"
Weevil sniffled, then charged into the crowd again, naginata in hand.
The short distance of a dozen meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
Ain and Binz, who were about to offer assistance, suddenly changed their expressions.
They are top students and have practical experience.
However, the strength of this behemoth before them far surpassed that of their actual combat opponents.
Faced with the naginata slashing down again, they were completely unable to react.
For them, the scene before them was like death itself.
Facing this guy who will one day become one of the Shichibukai.
At that moment, a figure involuntarily flashed through Ain's mind.
However, as soon as this figure appeared, Ain quickly gave a sad smile and stared straight at the greatsword wrapped in Armament Haki that was rapidly enlarging in her pupils.
"Haha, I didn't expect to find someone worth killing in a place like this. It was definitely worth the trip."
"In this sea area, the person capable of killing you has already been born!"
A thunderous laugh erupted without warning.
The next moment, a golden bolt of lightning, carrying immense force, descended from the sky.
Boom!
A massive bolt of lightning slammed into the deck first.
The immense impact sent the freshmen flying through the air.
The naginata, still powerful, cleaved down with undiminished force, striking the figure bathed in lightning.
Bang!
The blast wave was rolling backward.
Just moments before, a slash had been able to easily shatter the ship's deck and tear apart a group of new students.
But then it suddenly stopped.
No!
It should be said that it was held up by a seemingly frail figure.
The blade, originally covered in jet-black Armament Haki, was slashing at a shoulder.
At that moment, Ain, standing behind him, suddenly felt that the figure in front of her was as tall as a mountain.
