I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

The robotic arm [shredder] shatters!

Pieces of debris shattered from one side of Zefa's cheek!

The true prosthetic limb of Zefa is revealed inside the shredder.

Su An remained calm, completely unconcerned about the debris flying past him.

Zefa, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned, his purple eyes fixed on Su An, a smile playing on his lips.

Utter ecstasy!

Special admissions!

Since Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino, no other special recruit has ever been admitted to the Naval Academy.

That night, Karp contacted him saying he had found a special admissions student.

Zephyr didn't say much, but he was full of anticipation because it was Garp who recommended him!

And now...

To be precise, Zefa became excited when he saw Suan defeat his other students.

But right now...

ecstasy!

Looking at Su An now is like looking at a future marine who would scatter and flee at the mere mention of a pirate's name!

but!

So gentle!

Although this kid looks cold, he's actually very gentle!

"Ha..." Zephyr couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha!"

Amidst his laughter, Zephyr completely disregarded the falling fragments of the shredder beside his prosthetic arm, and simply looked at Su An, "Is it because you're afraid of hurting me with my missing arm that you keep attacking the shredder and smashing it like this?"

Snapped!

As they finished speaking, the two landed simultaneously.

Su An withdrew his fist, reached into his pocket to take out his glasses, but didn't hide anything, answering directly: "Yes, because it was wrong of me to hurt you."

After saying that, Su An looked at Zephyr: "But I passed the test, right, Mr. Zephyr?"

Zephyr clenched his fist: "I heard from Garp that you killed the entire Krieg Pirates crew. Even if Krieg survived by sheer luck, you broke all four of his limbs."

Su An didn't deny it: "Yes, because they hurt the townspeople."

Zephyr immediately rebuked, "If you can treat pirates like this, then you shouldn't have any sympathy for me either! I just said that as a Marine on this sea, you shouldn't have any mercy! No matter who you're facing! So-called justice is not as simple as you think."

Su An put on his glasses and looked at the old man in front of him: "I don't think I'm righteous. I'm just doing what I think is right."

"?" Zephyr's expression froze.

Don't you think you're the righteous one?

This was the first time Zefa had heard such an answer.

but...

Zefa's lips curled up, his left prosthetic hand clenched into a fist. It didn't matter!

Because one's mindset can be changed.

But great strength cannot be acquired overnight!

The stronger this child becomes, the more he can do whatever he wants.

Especially as a member of the Navy, even a naive young man like him will inevitably change after realizing that all he gets from pirates is regret for his compassion.

Then he will destroy this so-called Great Pirate Era!

And what I need to do is...

nourish!

Zefa announced loudly, "Su An has passed the second test!"

When they saw the shredder shatter, the surrounding sailors, as well as the instructors and cadets of the naval academy, were all astonished.

Because they had heard about the materials used in shredders.

And so it was all ruined by that young man in his trainee marine uniform...

The vice admirals, in particular, swallowed hard, staring at Zephyr's prosthetic limb and then at Su An.

Special admissions students...

A future admiral.

However, when the general turned his head to look at Kuzan and the others, he found that Kuzan, Garp, and Sengoku all had solemn expressions.

Instinctively, everyone immediately looked toward where Teacher Zefa was.

Same as before!

I just looked over!

Suddenly, Zephyr's arms turned black!

But rather than being black, it's more accurate to say that his prosthetic limbs, left arm, wrist, and fist were suddenly covered with a layer of blackish-purple armor-like material.

Aside from the young marines around him, the officers and sailors who had served in the navy for some years, upon seeing the purple-haired old man's current appearance, all recalled the title that had once stood at the top of the navy!

Black Wrist!

Zephyr, the Black Wrist!

"Teacher Zephyr." Kuzan stopped standing lazily and stood up, looking at the old man, and murmured.

"The third test! Fight me with all your might!!"

Zephyr growled!

The moment he finished speaking, Zefa charged toward Su An again!

But this time, just as Zephyr charged out!

Like a thunderclap in spring, the bluestone slab beneath Zefa's feet suddenly exploded!

But Zefa arrived with overwhelming force!

Su An showed a hint of helplessness on his face, but he had no intention of backing down. The moment he closed his five fingers, he threw a punch at Zefa!

[Black Wrist] Zepha's pitch-black punch was nothing like Su An's seemingly ordinary punch.

collide!

A powerful aura, far exceeding that of the previous one, erupted instantly between Su An's fist and Zefa's fist!

An even more deafening explosion erupted!

However, unlike before, this time the ground centered on Su An and Zefa instantly shattered, with countless fragments exploding into the air.

The shockwave generated by the collision of the fists, each carrying considerable force, surged and spread throughout the entire port!

The shockwave swept past, and even the sea seemed to roar, with huge waves crashing against the warships and the dock!

Everyone, including the vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, began to retreat, and many were even blown away by the shockwave. Fortunately, the vice admirals and Kuzan and others immediately appeared in various directions!

He blocked the blast wave with a simple gesture!

But apart from Kuzan and a few others, everyone else stared at the two with trembling eyes.

Suddenly!

The moment Su An withdrew his fist, he leaned forward and kicked Zefa in the abdomen with his knee!

Zefa's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and not only did a blackish-purple armor appear on his abdomen, but he also brought one hand down, not to block, but to punch Su An's leg!

In an instant!

A fist collided with a knee!

Another blast wave suddenly appeared, and the port was severely damaged once again!

Su An looked at Zefa...

The old man before him was stronger than he had imagined!

Zefa was also looking at Su An...

The young man in front of him was stronger than he had imagined!

The two of them didn't say a word this time, and their figures disappeared almost at the same time!

They then collided again!

Then they disappeared again, and collided again!

It completely surpasses the impact of the two of them constantly exchanging punches!

You can clearly feel the impact of the collision between the two people's fists, as well as their speed!

But the entire port...

Quiet~~

Utter silence!

Everyone just watched the two fighting, and all they could hear was the sound of their fists hitting each other!

And then I heard Zefa's maniacal laughter.

stunned?

shock?

Do not!

These things have disappeared, but what remains is the surging emotion in my heart!

The legendary Marine, Black Arm, is still alive!

And a new legend seems to be emerging!

Everyone clenched their fists, and many marines, especially the cadets at the Naval Academy, gritted their teeth!

Get stronger!

They need to become stronger!

"Zepha..." Sengoku looked at Zepha, who was completely immersed in battle and ecstasy while laughing wildly.

Originally, Sengoku thought that it was about time to stop them, since the port had been destroyed like this!

But right now...

He chose to remain silent.

Because of his old friend...

I haven't laughed like that since that incident.

"He's really handsome, Professor Zephyr," Kuzan chuckled softly, remarking with admiration.

And in the crowd...

"Teacher Zephyr."

The female instructor with blue hair, holding Zefa's cloak, stared intently at her teacher, her fists clenched, her face full of worry, but even more so, joy.

Former Marine Admiral and current Chief Instructor of the Naval Academy, Zephyr, was able to fully master Armament Haki at the age of 34, and could use Armament Haki Hardening with his hands. Combined with Zephyr's own formidable strength, he earned the title of "Black Arm".

However, a few years ago, after Zephyr lost his right hand to pirates while protecting a ship of trainees, everyone thought that the era of "Black Arm" was over. Even after Zephyr wore a special combat prosthetic arm developed by scientists from the World Government, many people still missed the old Black Arm, rather than the person with the huge mechanical arm he had now.

But now, Zephyr has proven with facts that Black Arm is still there, he still exists, Black Arm Zephyr is still alive, even though his right arm is no longer the real arm he once had!

but...

Black Wrist is still active!
