The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 145 Don't underestimate a young man's potential

On the turbulent sea, naval warships bobbed up and down with the waves, their outlines appearing near Punk Hazard.

A man with a full head of purple hair, a resolute face, wearing a purple suit and a white cloak of justice, stood tall on the deck of the warship, though his face looked slightly weathered.

This man is none other than "Black Arm" Zephyr, the former Navy admiral who lost his family.

He was leading the new recruits in sea training when he suddenly received orders from the Navy Headquarters to support Punk Hazard, and he rushed over without hesitation.

"Zeff, we have arrived at Punk Hazard."

A tall man standing to the side, wearing round sunglasses and a hat with a section of naturally curly black hair showing, spoke up.

Zefa looked at the other party and was very satisfied with his disciple, who was the most outstanding young man in his third batch of disciples.

Not only does he possess the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit ability, but his physical skills are also quite extraordinary. More importantly, he is full of passion and values ​​loyalty and righteousness.

Zefa's resolute and unsmiling face rarely showed a smile.

He then decisively ordered, "Bombardment cover, landing operation, annihilate the pirates."

"roar!"

A large group of elite recruits, selected from all over the world and trained for half a year, were shouting with enthusiasm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the naval bombardment began, Charlotte's expression changed on Punk Hazard.

"Retreat immediately!"

After receiving the command, the members of the Heberfeller family acted calmly and deliberately.

Charlotte hadn't expected the navy's support to arrive so quickly.

Heading outside, a figure soon appeared.

"Black Arm Zephyr!"

His face darkened; he simply couldn't understand how a retired former admiral had ended up here.

Shouldn't we be focusing on teaching properly?

A tragic former admiral who dedicated his life to the navy but never received fair treatment.

But right now they are his most troublesome enemy.

The word "general" carries weight, even if the person is a former general and resigned voluntarily due to a severe blow rather than due to defeat or old age.

However, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He needed to buy time for the Hibernator to enter the sea, so he had to stop Black Arm Zephyr.

Thinking of this, his face turned cold, and he repeatedly swung out the Heavenly Crying Sword in his hand.

"Slash!"

One dazzling slash after another tore through the air and rained down on the approaching navy.

Zephyr's expression changed slightly, and his Armament Haki instantly hardened and covered his arms.

"Black Wrist - Crushing Blow"

Terrifying shockwaves surged forth, colliding one after another with the slashing attacks.

A series of earth-shattering explosions erupted in mid-air.

Charlotte's attack was blocked, and Zephyr's advance was also abruptly halted.

The moment their eyes met, Zephyr was somewhat surprised. This overly young lad was truly extraordinary in strength!

Unfortunately, the other side did not choose to become a righteous navy.

Zephyr looked at Charlotte, "Why? To become a pirate?"

Charlotte shook her head with a wry smile and did not answer.

Did he want to become a pirate? He was just forced into it.

Now that everything has happened, there's no going back; the label of "pirate" is hard to shake off.

The world government will certainly not let him go.

"Further discussion is pointless!"

Charlotte's expression hardened, and there was no possibility of negotiation between the two sides.

With a flash of his eyes, Tianku casually swung his sword, and a slash directly cut the nearby ground in two.

"One-Sword Style, Divine Wind: Tiger Slash!"

His figure was like a phantom, his blade rang out, divine light flashed, and a terrifying attack arrived in an instant.

Zefa looked solemn. What a troublesome kid.

He stomped his foot suddenly, unleashing a shockwave that created a terrifying crater around himself, instantly freezing him in place.

Charlotte's expression changed drastically. She activated Moon Step and leaped into the sky.

Two terrifying explosions rang out simultaneously.

Charlotte's cleaving plow shattered the ground in the distance, splitting a low mountain into three.

Zefa smashed the ground where he had just been standing with a single punch, a truly horrifying sight.

Zefa looked up, their eyes met, and they both shouted angrily.

"Black Arm Tornado"

"One-Sword Style: Divine Wind: Ten Cuts!"

The two forces intertwined wildly, one above the other, constantly eroding and collapsing, causing gusts of wind until both forces disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the two moved as fast as lightning, frantically moving across the ground and attacking relentlessly.

Each impact triggered a terrifying explosion, shattering rocks and changing the course of rivers.

The fierce battle was fought with all their might; every collision was a life-or-death struggle.

Charlotte continued to slash, her Armament Haki covering her entire body like armor, yet she could still feel the terrifying pressure from her opponent.

Every blow caused him immense pain.

He is still too young.

As a master of physical combat, Zephyr keenly sensed that Charlotte's stamina was being rapidly depleted in such an intense battle, causing her to slow down.

"Pirates captured!"

With a loud roar, his fist flew out like the wind, like a flash of thunder, and instantly reached Charlotte's chest.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Charlotte's body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into and collapsing a building.

However, he dared not linger and instantly activated his shave ability to escape!

With a deafening boom, a terrifying explosion rang out behind them, just as they had left.

As the dust settled, Zephyr slowly walked out and looked at Charlotte, who was facing him.

Even he had to admit that Charlotte at this age far surpassed him back then, and her combat strength was exceptional.

Even though Kuzan has only just begun to master Armament Haki.

That terrifying brat! If we don't capture him today, he'll surely cause a great disaster in the future.

The thought in Zefa's mind vanished in an instant.

Although Charlotte didn't know it, he could sense the fluctuations in Zephyr's emotions, and the determination rising in his eyes sent chills down his spine.

"Damn old man!"

Charlotte couldn't help but curse inwardly, as each of them used their prime years to suppress him, making him grind his teeth.

However, Zephyr had already launched an attack, giving Charlotte no chance to catch her breath.

Charlotte was extremely frustrated. He felt suppressed, and if things continued like this, he feared he would suffer a major setback today.

The suppression from veteran powerhouses is terrifying, especially since Zephyr is currently at his peak.

An endless surge of anger rose within me. All I wanted was to lie down quietly and be a salted fish. Why did everyone have to force me to do this?

A terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki instantly spread, a dark red light flashed, and endless pressure swept over, seemingly venting Charlotte's boundless rage.

Zephyr was also affected, his movements stopped, and he was extremely shocked. "What terrifying Conqueror's Haki."

"Old clams, fortunes change every thirty years, never underestimate a young person's potential!"

In an instant, he sensed something, and his Conqueror's Haki intertwined with his power. He took a step forward, and the Heavenly Cry slashed out horizontally.

"One-Sword Style: Overlord's Slash!"

The dark red Conqueror's Haki coiled around the slash, unleashing endless arcs of dark red electricity. Carrying immense power, it was incomparably domineering and arrived by tearing through the air.

"Armament Haki hardens the weapon!"

Zefa roared instantly, crouching down with his arms crossed in front of him, his dark red armored aura covering him.

"boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, sending up a mushroom cloud before the dust settled.

"Cough cough..." Zefa coughed twice. He was injured, especially with a hideous wound on his abdomen.

Looking ahead, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen.

The injury had some impact on him, but it was not fatal.

The navy arrived from behind and were shocked to see that former Admiral Zephyr was injured.

At the same time, a series of violent explosions occurred in the scientific research fortress that had long been equipped with explosives.

This was Charlotte's plan; this place had to be destroyed to cover up the fact that he had taken away a large amount of experimental data.

"Quickly, save them!"

Zephyr roared, and the other marines sprang into action.

Kuzan stepped forward. "Zeffe-sensei, are you alright?"

Zefa shook his head, his gaze serious and profound. Soon, the medical staff began to treat Zefa's wounds.
