It took Ryuya a whole day to reach the West Blue. According to the news Ryuya had gathered during that time,
Zephyr was still constantly fleeing, pursued by Whitebeard Jr.
Due to severe damage to their warship, they had landed on an island.
However, they had already lost many of their Navy trainees.
You see, Zephyr's current position was the Navy's elite instructor.
The trainees he brought out were all very talented and promising seeds.
They were also Zephyr's pride and joy.
It seemed Zephyr must hate Whitebeard Jr. to the core now.
"Kalifa, contact Zephyr!"
The Den Den Mushi took about two minutes to connect.
From the Den Den Mushi, Ryuya could hear the sound of wind and rain.
And the sea not far from him was covered in dark clouds, with strong winds blowing.
"Teacher Zephyr, we'll be there soon. Please hold on."
"White Dove, I'll hold on until you arrive, even for the sake of these children!"
Zephyr hung up the phone.
At this moment, Zephyr felt confident.
White Dove was nearby. He only needed to hold off Whitebeard the Second, and then when Ryuya arrived, they could work together to drive him back.
But looking at his empty right arm,
Zephyr let out a wry smile. "I hope this old body of mine can withstand a high-intensity battle!"
"Teacher Zephyr, don't fight. We can keep running!"
Ain, one of Zephyr's most outstanding students, naturally sensed Zephyr's intention.
However, Zephyr had already lost his right arm while constantly resisting the attacks of Whitebeard Jr. It was even more inconvenient for him to fight now!
"We can't escape. We're about to reach the range of his attacks. It'll be even more dangerous then. It's better for me to hold him off and buy you more time."
Zephyr smiled and said, "But don't worry, White Dove-sama will be here soon. He's the most righteous Admiral I've ever seen. I'm very relieved to entrust you to White Dove."
With that, Zephyr charged towards Whitebeard Jr., shouting loudly, "I'll take care of this!!!"
Miss Bakkin saw Zephyr daring to charge at them alone, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
"Weevil, kill this guy. Your father Whitebeard will be very happy to hear about it!"
"Yes, Mother!"
Weevil, Whitebeard Jr., was instantly excited when he heard his mother Miss Bakkin's words.
He wielded a long-handled broadsword, swinging it as he charged towards Zephyr.
With every step he took, shallow pits appeared on the island.
Weevil, nearly seven meters tall, looked like a monster.
He had a lot of flesh on his upper body, but his legs were thin.
His hair grew down to his legs, and his sideburns were braided. He had three striking scars on his body, representing his numerous battle achievements.
What most represented his identity was the crescent-shaped, upward-curving white beard, just like Whitebeard's.
But compared to Whitebeard's beard, Weevil's was thinner and longer.
"Weevil will crush you!"
With that, Weevil raised his long-handled broadsword high and swung it down at Zephyr.
A huge slash appeared out of thin air.
It roared towards Zephyr.
Zephyr's heart sank.
"Armament Haki, cover!"
"Black Arm: Heavy Blow!"
The arm known as Black Arm Zephyr unleashed his most powerful attack!
"Boom!"
A loud boom echoed from the island.
The intense hurricane created by the collision, centered on them, swept up countless plants and dust.
Miss Bakkin's small body was almost blown away by the wind.
"Weevil! Are you trying to kill me?!"
"Sorry, Mother, I'll be more careful next time!"
Zephyr saw this and thought to himself: Good opportunity.
"Soru!"
"Black Arm: Heavy Punch!"
Zephyr came behind Weevil and punched him in the back.
If it had been an ordinary person, Zephyr's punch would have directly shattered them!
But when facing Weevil, it was like hitting a sheet of iron.
It didn't do much damage to Weevil.
"This guy's physical strength is simply too abnormal. It's not far off from that Whitebeard guy!"
Weevil turned to look at Zephyr, raised his long-handled broadsword again, and without hesitation, swung it down at Zephyr again.
This time, Weevil didn't use a slash, he just used brute force.
"Crush him for me!!!"
"Black Arm: Heavy Blow!"
Zephyr didn't hesitate in the slightest. Although he had lost an arm, as a Navy Admiral, he hadn't forgotten his iron blood!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang,
A figure flew out of the dust cloud.
He fell heavily to the ground.
He smashed through dozens of trees that were two people wide before he finally stopped.
Pfft!
Zephyr coughed up blood. Armament Haki dissipated at this moment.
His whole body felt like it was falling apart, incredibly heavy!
A strong feeling of weakness spread from his arm throughout his entire body, followed by a stinging pain.
"Cough, cough."
Zephyr looked at Weevil not far away. He couldn't believe that even with just brute force, Weevil could inflict such severe injuries on him.
"But, for the sake of those children, I must continue fighting. Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer, White Dove will be here!"
Zephyr gritted his teeth, blood seeping from between his teeth.
Enduring the intense pain, Zephyr got up from the ground.
His right arm was broken, his left arm was useless, but he still had his legs!
He could still fight!
Miss Bakkin saw Zephyr get up so pathetically and immediately mocked him, "Weevil, show him what death means!"
"Yes, Mother!"
Weevil was very obedient and slowly walked towards Zephyr.
Seeing that massive body getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, the shadow gradually enveloped him.
Zephyr looked at Weevil without fear.
"Armament Haki, cover!"
As soon as he finished speaking, blood sprayed from Zephyr's mouth, but he still unleashed a merciless attack on Weevil!
"Bang!"
His left leg snapped.
Under Weevil's attack, Zephyr was like a kite with a broken string, directly knocked away.
Too strong!
Weevil was too strong!
This was already close to Whitebeard's power in his youth!
If he were younger, he might still have a chance to fight.
But with age and a change in mindset, his fighting ability was far inferior to what it once was.
A hint of darkness appeared in Zephyr's eyes.
He might not be able to hold on anymore, but he wouldn't die in vain. He had to buy his students a little more time...
