Zephyr at a Loss, the Storm Approaches

Such Conqueror's Haki!!

"Hmm, even Luna has been nerfed this much?"

Naito, who was possessing Luna's body, muttered to himself.

Luna was already his strongest subordinate, but even so, there was still a considerable gap between the power he could unleash and his true strength.

The projected power and Haki are greatly weakened, and the level that can be exerted is only about half of the original body.

The Haki is somewhat better; it can draw upon Luna's own Haki. While it's not enough to completely compensate, it's at least about 60-70% of her original aura.

Of course, it's not without its advantages.

At least Lunarian Tribe, coupled with the Mythical Zoan power of the Red Dragon Fruit, Luna's physical body is stronger than her original body.

In this state, his ability in pure direct combat should be roughly at Kaido's level.

Dealing with Zephyr is more than enough.

After all, no matter how much rehabilitation he undergoes, Zephyr can never truly return to his peak form.

Zephyr, who wasn't particularly strong among the Four Emperors' Admiral to begin with, is now probably only at the beginner level of a general.

"You bastard--"

Zephyr's voice carried a hint of disbelief, "The Night King?"

A person's aura cannot change so drastically without any apparent reason, as if they have become a completely different person.

Unless, it's really a completely different person!

"I should actually thank you, Black Arm Zephyr."

Naito slowly sheathed the Enma sword, saying with interest, "After all, I wouldn't be where I am today without your help; you're the one who started this whole story."

"..."

Zephyr immediately clenched his fists.

It's true!

Now I finally understand the relationship between the Night King and World!

World is truly just a puppet in this man's hands!

This guy has some kind of ability to possess other people!

The reason it had been possessing World in the past, besides being able to deceive the government and the navy, was mainly because World's More-More Fruit was too useful!

All the mysteries have been solved!

The mother and son Weevil, who were captured years ago, were originally his subordinates!

After the Night King captured the mother and child and sent them to Impel Down, he was able to extend his reach there as well, thus triggering the massive Impel Down breakout!

He's right, it all started with myself!

Zephyr understood, but not completely.

"Pirate!! Your crimes are unforgivable!!"

The usually composed Zephyr was now practically gritting his teeth, roaring as he shot towards Naito.

This bastard is the one who turned the sea upside down and caused the navy countless losses!

"Smashing Short Strike!!"

The iron fist, Coating with powerful Haki, hurtled straight towards Naito's face.

Oh, really, to slap a beautiful girl like Luna in the face like that, isn't that a bit too disrespectful, Zephyr- sensei?

Naito sighed, then, completely lacking any semblance of a pretty girl, slammed her head down with a heavy blow.

The moment the iron fist collided with the iron head, Zephyr felt an overwhelming force pouring down on him, and his right arm trembled!

His body was smashed down by Naito's header, just like a football.

Siu!

Zephyr crashed heavily onto the base's wide plaza, causing the ground to undulate like ocean waves and instantly blasting open a huge crater.

The remaining unconscious sailors were unfortunately blown to bits by the explosion.

"Asshole!!"

A dark, sharp blade came from behind and slashed hard across Naito's neck.

A crisp "ding" sounded.

Gion's eyes were wide open.

The blade was deflected!

Even the scales can't be shaken?

It would be a miracle if it could be shaken. The Lunarian Tribe's physical defense, the dragon scale defense of the Red Dragon Fruit, the enhancement of dual-color Haki, and the coverage of projection ability.

Even if Teacher Zephyr came, I wouldn't be able to break through his defenses, okay?

An unseen force casually grabbed Gion and slammed her towards the warship below.

After all, this is Gion; let's be a little more considerate of the ladies.

Gion crashed heavily onto the deck, smashing a hole through it.

"Forehead--"

In the huge crater, Zephyr, covered in dust and dirt, raised his head.

His right arm was trembling slightly.

This is bad!

Even if it wasn't its true form, even if it was just possessing this Lunarian Tribe woman, this monster's strength was still terrifying!

"So you understand now, Black Arm Zephyr?"

A leisurely voice came, Zephyr suddenly looked up. The figure had already folded its wings and was standing on the edge of the pit, quietly looking down at him.

"If you don't want everyone in this base to die with you, then you'd better stay here and not go anywhere else."

Naito said with great interest, "I've already been very kind to you, really, don't test my patience any further."

"Preferential treatment?"

Zephyr took a deep breath, and black Inazuma surged from his fists. "Pirate, who do you think you're talking to!"

"Pirates?"

Naito chuckled. "Don't jump to conclusions and label me. I never said I was a pirate."

"Also, Black Arm Zephyr, we shouldn't actually be enemies."

"What?"

Zephyr was indeed stunned; he hadn't expected this heinous criminal to say such a thing.

"The World Government should be our common enemy."

Naito said this with a smile.

"Madman!"

Zephyr just stared at him coldly.

"Honestly, seeing how ignorant you are, I'll take pity on you and explain it to you."

Naito's smile grew increasingly mocking. "What does the real World Government actually look like, and what interesting things happened during that Void Century?"

Zephyr was taken aback, then sneered, "Who's interested in listening to your nonsense!"

What does World Government look like? What about the Void Century history?

Who does this guy think he is?

No, you must listen.

Naito raised his right hand.

The air instantly became scorching hot, and endless flames shot into the sky, condensing into a gigantic sun.

An indescribable light and heat radiated down from the sun, instantly making the entire square unbearably hot, as if the rocks and soil were about to melt.

"..."

Zephyr suddenly lost his voice.

"Black Arm Zephyr,"

Naito smirked. "You wouldn't want me to blow this island to pieces, would you?"

Zephyr: "..."

Madman!

So Naito began to tell a story.

It's a mix of history from eight hundred years ago that he heard from the Great Hammer Pirates, secrets of the World Government that he learned from comics, and some subjective speculation.

Chapter 211 Zephyr is bewildered; a storm is brewing.

Zefan's face was ashen, his fists clenched, staring intently at the monster before him.

Naito, possessing Luna's body, revealed a slightly mocking smile. "So you understand now, Black Arm Zephyr? The World Government's adherence to democracy, the Empty Throne being merely a symbol that no one can actually sit upon—it's all just lies to fool you."

"The Celestial Dragons King, a man named Imu, seized everything through lies and betrayal, becoming the King of the World. He had been manipulating this world from behind the scenes for eight hundred years."

"Isn't it infuriating? This wonderful world has been dancing in his palm for eight hundred years!"

"If I had to say, it would be that Roger completely surprised him, leading the world in a direction he never anticipated. In that sense, the Pirate King truly deserves our respect."

"Shut up!!"

Zephyr practically spat out the words through clenched teeth, "Stop talking nonsense here!"

"Nonsense?"

Naito said with great interest, "I've already shown you what the world is really like, and you're still going to hide in your snail shell and deceive yourself? How weak, Black Arm Zephyr."

"You should know, Vice Admiral Garp should have told you,"

Naito said, "Back in God Valley, that monster that possessed the Five Elders, Saturn!"

Zephyr's expression instantly darkened again.

Garp did indeed tell him.

At the time, he and Sengoku were speculating about the identity of the dark figure Garp mentioned, wondering if it was a pirate who had possessed the bodies of the Five Elders.

But, according to this guy, could that monster be—

Is there anything hard to understand?
