"No, it's because of Ace's identity."
"What other identity does Ace have? Isn't he Garp's adopted grandson?"
His biological father is Roger.
"Oh, Roger... What?! Roger!?" Zephyr spat out the wine he had just taken a sip of!
Staring at Renn in astonishment, he thought, "Renn just blurted out something so important?!"
Is this real or fake?!
"Yes, Roger! What's the problem?!" Ryan remained calm and collected.
Zefa was initially shocked and stunned.
He quickly understood what Renne meant!
"I knew you'd been so kind to me these past few days, you must have had an ulterior motive. I bet the Five Elders don't know about this yet. What do you want me to do?"
"It's so relaxing to talk to Professor Zephyr."
"Come on, stop flattering me. Let me make this clear: Ace's identity is so sensitive, I doubt my words will have much effect," Zephyr said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. It just requires Professor Zephyr to affirm Ace's attitude towards pirates in the New World. This is a fact that already exists. But with you speaking up, plus the assurances from others, it's enough to make the Five Elders consider it more carefully. After all, I don't want all my efforts to be in vain!"
"That's fine, but is Ace really okay?"
“Even you have such outdated ideas? Ace is a qualified Marine!” Rein didn’t go into details, but gave a definite and brief answer.
Seeing this, Zefa didn't ask any more questions; on this point, he chose to believe Ryan.
"I know what to do, but... the son of the Pirate King becoming a Marine Admiral, no matter how you look at it, it's still a bit outrageous!"
"Oh, right, I need you to give Luffy and the others a good talking-to later. I'm worried that they might become a bit arrogant and complacent after challenging the Whitebeard Pirates. You can teach them a lesson later."
"Raine, what do you take me for? I only rested for a week, and I can only help you with one thing at most."
"That's easy, I'll give you another week off." As the Navy's Inspector General, Ryan's civilian management duties included these "trivial matters" of naval officers!
"Ahem...that's not a good idea, there are still several practical training sessions at the training camp." He immediately announced a week-long vacation!
Zephyr felt guilty, thinking it was too much.
After all, he's always been a workaholic! Working year-round without a break!! On call 24/7!
We've already had several holidays this year, and if we give this many more, Zefa will feel embarrassed even without Sengoku reminding him.
Although this was in response to Ryan's veterans' retirement plan!
But he was all alone, and the holiday was too long; he was afraid he would be too idle.
"That's easy. I'll just have Garp work overtime. He's been busy at the base anyway, so let him enjoy his vacation. He's fought a lot his whole life, it's time to relax. Let the music play and the dancing continue!"
"That's too decadent."
"Do you want it or not?"
"I'll take it..."
"Take it or leave it, don't add anything!"
"want!"
[Garp #1: I freaking thank you guys!]
Luffy and his two companions quickly landed on the island.
Navy personnel came forward to greet them, and the ship was also carrying many pirates they had captured! The handover then took place...
"Captain Blood Shadow, with a bounty of 630 million Berries!"
"Calaste, with a bounty of 820 million Berries! The second of the three swordsmen of the Four Emperors! Not long ago, the first swordsman of this Four Emperors pirate crew was defeated by the Red-Haired Pirates! Now that the second swordsman is gone! This Four Emperors pirate crew's strength must be greatly reduced!"
"I thought they had lost to Whitebeard and would return empty-handed, but I never expected to find two such formidable pirates! That's incredible!"
……
"Strange, didn't the people at the base say that Rensan was in this direction? Why haven't we seen Rensan yet?" Luffy said somewhat anxiously.
He's always full of energy!
"We should hurry... Be careful!!!" Ace's expression suddenly changed before he could finish speaking!
"Dragon Wrist Strike!!" Zephyr jumped down from the tree, swung his wrist dramatically, and unleashed a powerful punch, sending a terrifying shockwave of energy from above towards Luffy, Ace, and Sabo!
The shockwave, shaped like a fan, enveloped the three boys whose expressions had drastically changed.
In an instant, they all mustered their powerful defensive aura to block! There was no time to escape!
It's so fast!
Boom! ! ! ! ! !
A terrifyingly loud explosion rang out, even though Zephyr tried his best to control the attack range!
However, the range of the punch wave still exceeded 100 meters in diameter!
Within that area, the ground cracked open inch by inch, creating a giant crater, immediately followed by billowing smoke and dust!
The aftershocks spread, whipping up strong winds that blew outwards!
[Apu #2: Holy crap!! Is this Zephyr the same Zephyr from our video?! That punch was way too powerful! All that force kicked up was dust; there wasn't even a single large piece of gravel!]
[Drake #2: If that punch had landed on me, I wouldn't have even begged for mercy! I'd be dead on the spot!]
[Kid #2: This is the true strength of a Marine Admiral. The Zeff that the Straw Hat crew encountered was already extremely old and weak! His strength might not even be half of his peak!]
[Whitebeard #2: You're still got it, Zephyr!]
[Luffy #2: Sizzle, give it a try!!!]
……
"They all took my attack head-on. Was it because they were at a naval base that they let their guard down? One punch was all it took! But it's fine, this achieves the effect Rein wanted even better." Zephyr looked at the billowing dust, quite satisfied with his results!
My only worry is whether I hit too hard just now?
They shouldn't be seriously injured, right?
"Zefa-sensei, what are you doing all of a sudden?" Luffy's puzzled voice rang out from the smoke and dust.
"You're still conscious?" Zepha was stunned.
"A week's vacation isn't something you can earn with just one punch. You seem to be underestimating Luffy and his crew..." Rein's voice drifted from not far away.
(Please subscribe to the full version!)
148. A 10-year-old driving in fourth gear! Sorry, I'm an undercover agent! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
The three emerged from the billowing dust in a disheveled state!
The shockwave released by that punch caught the three of them off guard, even though they had to defend themselves hastily.
However, through tacit understanding, they managed to coordinate their defenses at the same time!
It's equivalent to three people using all their strength to withstand Zephyr's attack!
Otherwise, if Luffy and the others were to take that hit from Zephyr alone, even if they didn't pass out, it would be very difficult for them to retaliate!
Seeing this, Zefa didn't hesitate any longer, as this concerned his vacation.
If we can't put pressure on them, Rennes might not approve his vacation!
Zephyr pulled his arm back to gather power, causing the air around his arm to distort and swell with domineering aura!
Before the fist was even thrown, a surge of energy, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, surged around them!
"This is bad!" Luffy and his two companions were immediately startled. Although they didn't know why, the punch thrown by Zephyr was quite something!
It will be terrifying!
"If you don't fight back seriously, you'll die! Heavy Punch Bomb!!"
Boom! ! ! !
With a single punch, it was as if the sky had collapsed, the atmosphere exploded, and within a radius of nearly a hundred meters, the violent friction of the fist, centered on the arm, caused countless black arcs of electricity to crackle and surge violently!
"Fire Fist, Flame Net!" Layers of fire walls erupted!
"Dragon Claw Fist, Dragon Throne!" With a single palm strike, all the palm winds, under the domineering manipulation, condensed into a coiling giant dragon! It blocked the way for the three!
"Gear Third, Giant's Spear!!" Luffy transforms into a giant and unleashes a powerful punch!
For Luffy, the best defense is offense!
They withstood yet another attack from Zephyr.
Bang bang bang... Then Zephyr launched an even faster attack, even though there were three of them, Luffy and his crew!
But he was their instructor in the Navy, and if they couldn't achieve anything after several attempts!
How can I guide their studies in the future? And there's also Renn watching over them.
If we can't do anything to them, Renn will definitely start gossiping about me whenever he sees me.
I have my pride too!
