Zefa's heart sank.

He knew what Roy had discovered.

The news of the Celestial Gold is top secret; the transportation route and timing are known only to high-ranking naval officers and a few people in the World Government.

He personally led the escort to prevent any accidents.

But unexpectedly, the accident happened so quickly.

"Roy."

Zephyr's voice turned cold.

"I don't care what you're doing here, leave right now."

I can pretend nothing happened.

"Pretend nothing happened?"

"Mr. Zephyr, are you threatening me or begging me?"

Zefa's expression turned even uglier.

"I'm not threatening you, I'm giving you a chance."

"You don't want a full-scale war with the navy, do you?"

Roy paused for a second, then shook his head.

"Mr. Zephyr, you're right, I really don't want to go to war with the Navy."

Zefa breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"but--"

Roy changed the subject, a smile playing on his lips.

"I'm quite interested in the things on this ship."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy's telekinetic power suddenly erupted, and an invisible force poured down from his body, enveloping the entire fleet!

The weapons in the hands of the new recruits began to tremble, the muzzles of the cannons involuntarily shifted, and some even knelt down on the deck, panting heavily.

Zefa's expression changed drastically.

"Roy! How dare you!"

"Mr. Zephyr, please calm down."

Roy raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly curled.

"I just want to see what it is that deserves your personal escort, a former admiral."

His telekinetic powers probed into the cabin of the World Government ship and precisely enveloped a piece of gold.

The gold flew out of the cabin, through the hatch, across the deck, and into the air before landing steadily in Roy's hand.

He tossed the gold nugget in his hand, and the sunlight reflected off it, creating a dazzling effect.

"Heavenly Gold".

Roy's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"So it was heavenly gold."

Zefa's heart sank to the bottom.

It’s over.

As Zephyr stared at the gleaming gold nugget in Roy's hand, only one thought occupied his mind—

Trouble.

This is a big problem.

Celestial Gold is the lifeblood of the World Government and the economic foundation for maintaining the entire ruling system.

If it were stolen from him, not only would the head instructor be unable to bear the blame, but even the Warring States period wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Roy," Zephyr's voice was low, as if he was trying to suppress something, "Do you know what you're doing?"

Roy put the gold nugget into his storage bag, looked down at Zefa, and remained relaxed.

"Of course I know. I'm taking heavenly gold."

"you--"

"Mr. Zephyr, please don't be angry."

Roy interrupted him.

"I'm just curious how much of the people's wealth the world government has plundered."

Roy pointed to the World Government's ship.

"Let me see it, and I'll leave."

"How is it?"

Facing Roy's mocking gaze, Zephyr gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

He knew Roy was talking nonsense.

This kid never intended to leave from the beginning; all his talk about "taking a look" is just nonsense.

But he cannot back down.

Behind him are new recruits, a windfall, and the source of the navy's military spending for the next few years.

If he were to withdraw, how would he explain it to the Warring States period?

How do we explain this to the Five Elders?

"Roy."

Zefa clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms.

"I'm saying this one last time—leave now."

Roy looked at him, his smile unchanged.

"What if I don't?"

Zefa did not answer.

His body suddenly swelled, and Armament Haki covered his hands.

"All recruits, listen up—"

Zefa's voice, like a booming bell, echoed throughout the entire fleet.

"Protect the transport ship! Not a single step back!"

"yes!!!"

The recruits responded in unison, their faces pale, but none of them flinched.

They are the best trainees in this naval training camp.

Today is their graduation exam.

On the Ark's Proverb, Roy looked down at the naval recruits who were standing ready for battle and nodded slightly.

"It actually looks quite plausible."

He turned around and looked at his companions behind him.

Yamato, who had been itching to fight, slung his spiked club over his shoulder, his eyes gleaming: "Roy! Can we fight now?"

Savi cracked his wrists, making a series of popping sounds.

Burgess clasped his fists together, and the power of the Power-Power Fruit surged within him.

Enel floated in mid-air, his golden staff held horizontally in front of him, while thunderclouds surged above his head.

Pea squatted in the corner, clutching a few seeds in her hand, her little face tense but her eyes determined.

Kazami's hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his face expressionless, but his body was already leaning slightly forward.

Baal carried the iron ingots, grinning憨憨地.

Lafayette, Van Auger-Auguste, and Charon stood in the back row, silent but focused.

All eyes were on Roy, waiting for his order.

Roy glanced around, a smile playing on his lips.

"Remember—don't kill."

He paused, his gaze falling on Zephyr.

"That old man is nicknamed 'The Unkillable General.' If you kill his men, we'll be in the wrong."

"certainly--"

He looked at Yamato, Savi, and Burgess.

"If he accidentally kills you, I won't be able to avenge you."

Yamato grinned: "Don't worry! He can't kill me!"

Savi clenched his fist: "Captain, we know what we're doing."

Bagesway laughed heartily, "Even if he wanted to kill us, he'd have to catch up first!"

Roy nodded and raised his right hand.

"Go."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone on the Ark of Proverbs moved at the same time!

Dahe dashed off the ship, his spiked club whistling through the air, and slammed down on Zefa's head!

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Savi followed closely behind, instantly activating his giant ape form. His ten-meter-tall body resembled a small mountain, and his right fist, imbued with terrifying power, slammed towards Zefa's side!

Burgess flanked from another direction, unleashing the full power of his Power-Power Fruit and punching Zephyr in the back!

The three worked together seamlessly, attacking from three directions simultaneously and cutting off all of Zefa's escape routes.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Zefa's eyes.

These three little devils are all troublemakers.

boom--!!!

Yamato's spiked club collided with Zephyr's fist, exploding into a blinding burst of sparks.

Savi's fist slammed in from the side, but Zephyr covered his left arm with Armament Haki and took the punch head-on.

Burgess's fist slammed into his back with a dull thud.

Three forces acted on Zefa simultaneously, causing his body to sink suddenly, the deck beneath his feet to crack instantly, and the entire warship to shake.

But Zefa did not fall.

He gritted his teeth, and with a sudden burst of strength in his arms, he knocked all three of them back at the same time!

"Good lad!" he roared, "Again!"

Yamato's eyes lit up even more: "That's more like it!"

The three charged forward again and engaged Zephyr in battle.

At the same time, other cadres also began to confront their rivals.

Enel floated in mid-air, thunderclouds rolled, and bolts of lightning struck the new naval recruits.

But he controlled the intensity—each bolt of lightning was just enough to incapacitate his opponent without being fatal.

"Hahaha! You can't withstand my lightning!"

With a flick of his wrists, Pea scattered the seeds onto the deck. With a clap of his hands, countless vines sprouted wildly from the cracks in the deck, entwining the hands and feet of the new recruits.

"Gotcha!"
