Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

As the night breeze swept by, Arn and Gion's eyes met, their gazes clashing just like their first encounter.

next moment……

“Bru bru…”

A series of urgent Den Den Mushi alarms suddenly sounded inside the little gold-plated object on Arn's shoulder, causing Arn's expression to change.

"and many more……"

Yan quickly raised his hand to stop Gion from launching the first attack, and hurriedly took the Den Den Mushi that Kogane had taken from the castle.

"Father, help me!!!"

Sora's urgent and clear voice rang out from the Den Den Mushi. "The training ship has been attacked, and Professor Zephyr is seriously injured..."

However, before the empty voice could finish speaking, a series of chaotic sounds came out from it.

"Kong, get out of the way!"

"Eh? So there's a little brat hiding here. Hehehe, watch me tear you to shreds..."

The next moment, communication was completely cut off.

"Snapped!"

In a fit of rage, the Den Den Mushi in Aon's hand instantly turned to dust. His expression was like that of a demon, radiating a terrifying aura that even made Gion instinctively fearful. (To be continued)

[Chapter 446 Edward Weevil]

However, the next moment, Gion, who had also clearly heard the Den Den Mushi's message, realized what was happening and quickly spoke up.

"Yarn, calm down. Teacher Zephyr is extremely strong. Even if the opponent is strong, he cannot be defeated directly. There must be a distress message sent back to Marineford."

"We're preparing to send our warships out immediately. While contacting the communications department to confirm the location of the distress signal, we're also having the nearest naval base send reinforcements to Professor Zephyr. There's definitely still time..."

However, before Gion could finish speaking, Aon's figure suddenly flashed, soaring into the sky and rushing off in one direction.

"Idiot, if the opponent is someone even Teacher Zephyr couldn't fight back against, going alone won't help..."

However, before Gion could finish her words of dissuasion, Aon's figure had already completely disappeared into the sky.

"Damn it!"

Gion cursed under her breath, her anxiety burning, and she quickly darted toward the Navy Building.

……

Let's move forward a little bit.

The training ship led by Zefa maintained a certain speed and sailed toward the designated sea area at night. Apart from Zefa, everyone on board the training ship was a student of the naval academy.

The so-called internship program is not simply about getting these students to bleed and personally arrest pirates.

More importantly, it cultivates students' ability to cope with various crises encountered while sailing on the Grand Line, including but not limited to severe weather, treacherous ocean currents and whirlpools, pirate attacks, and attacks by Sea Kings.

Therefore, although Zephyr personally accompanied the training ship to ensure the students' safety, he would almost never intervene unless the students encountered an insurmountable crisis. Instead, he would try his best to cultivate and train the students' abilities.

As night fell over the sea, most of the people on the training ship had already fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, the students who were responsible for lookout duties gradually became drowsy and did not notice that a raft was approaching the training ship at an abnormal speed on the sea.

until...

"boom!"

A soft thud was heard, followed by the sound of a massive object crashing onto the deck.

"W-what happened?"

The students on the lookout post were suddenly awakened and hurriedly stood up to look towards the deck. They saw a huge black shadow, two stories high, already standing on the deck.

"Hehehehe..."

A series of laughs, sounding like those of an idiot, echoed eerily through the deck.

Before the student at the lookout post could even see what was happening, the massive black shadow suddenly leaped up and appeared in front of the lookout post, which was over ten meters high.

As the faint moonlight shone down, the students at the lookout post saw the face that had suddenly appeared before them, and their pupils instinctively contracted.

He had a crescent-shaped white beard curving upwards, ugly and ferocious features, and an undeniable snot hanging from his nose. A huge scar ran from top to bottom across his left cheek, and his long, disheveled golden hair was casually tied into two braids.

However, before the student at the lookout post could react and sound the alarm, the alarm was already raised.

The next moment, a cold glint filled the entire field of vision of the student on the lookout post. A long-handled broadsword not only cleaved him in two, but also split the entire steel mainmast in two.

"boom!"

The loud noise of the mainmast crashing onto the deck completely woke up most of the students on the training ship, as well as Zefa, who were already asleep.

"what happened?"

Zefa rushed out of the room, his eyes sweeping around, and he immediately noticed the huge figure and... more than ten students who had already fallen into pools of blood and were lifeless.

In an instant, Zefa's pupils contracted, and he murmured in shock.

"Edward Weevil, the 'Whitebeard II'!!!"

"Hehehe..."

Slowly withdrawing his long-handled sword from a corpse, Weevil looked at Zephyr, who had appeared, and an angry expression appeared on his face.

"Found you, you bastard who injured me back then."

"You bastard, how dare you attack my training ship!"

The next moment, Zeff, who knew Weevil's monstrous strength, moved suddenly, his arms covered with Armament Haki that seemed to be tangible, and he fiercely charged towards Weevil.

"clang!"

Weevil's long-handled broadsword clashed violently with Zefa's dark fist, producing a sound like the clash of metal, and visible shockwaves from the impact swept outwards in all directions.

Ze Law glared angrily at Weevil and shouted.

"Back then, I arrested you, but you managed to escape during the transport. Instead of turning over a new leaf, you dare to come to my door again. Do you want me to arrest you once more?"

Facing the enraged Zephyr, Weevil, with a somewhat dazed expression, spoke slowly and deliberately, "Hehehe, I'll tear you bastard to pieces."

Immediately, Weevil's long, slender legs, but his body and arms covered in terrifying muscles, suddenly moved, and the long-handled sword that was pressed against Zefa's fists suddenly burst out with extremely terrifying power, directly blasting Zefa backward from the front.

So strong!

Zephyr's expression changed slightly as his body involuntarily staggered backward, completely unexpected that Weevil's power had grown to this extent.

In terms of pure strength, this guy who has always called himself "Whitebeard Jr." is in no way weaker than Edward Newgate "Whitebeard" in his youth.

Zefa's eyes swept over the panicked students around him and those lying in pools of blood, and the nightmarish memories resurfaced in his mind.

In the past, his wife and children were brutally murdered by pirates, and as a Marine Admiral, Zephyr failed to protect them. This time…

'Don't underestimate me, I'm Zefa!'

With veins bulging, Zefa stomped heavily on the steel deck, forcibly stopping his retreating body.

"Naval Six Style: Shave!"

The next instant, Zephyr's figure flashed and he appeared in front of Weevil in an instant. His fist, covered in Armament Haki, slammed into Weevil's chest with a strong wind.

"Naval Six Styles - Secret Technique - Iron Fist Peak"

"boom!"

The exaggerated shockwave generated by the punch's contact with Weevil suddenly appeared behind Weevil, sweeping towards the sea with a roar, even stirring up towering waves.

"Did it work?"

Just as Zephyr was about to deliver a heavy punch to Weevil, a laugh that sounded like that of an idiot reached his ears.

"Hehehehe..." (To be continued)

[Chapter 447 "Not Killing the General" Zephyr]

"Hehehe..."

"It's that same attack from back then, but it's useless, useless!"

Weevil's somewhat dull and sluggish voice rang out, but to Zefa's disbelief, the bloody gash that had been blasted into Weevil's chest was rapidly stopping its bleeding.

"Life returned?!"

Zephyr exclaimed in disbelief, momentarily stunned. "How could you possibly have returned to life?"

As an advanced technique of the Navy's Six Powers, "Life Return" is only known within the World Government and is not used by the Navy.

How could Edward Weevil, a pirate, possibly possess this skill?

"Hehehe, this technique? Isn't that the one you taught me during our last battle?"

As Weevil spoke, the fist that Zephyr had been about to punch at Weevil was now firmly gripped.

A bad feeling... began to grow in Zephyr's heart!

With Weevil's physique, comparable to Edward Newgate in his youth, once he masters "Life Return," his difficulty level will undoubtedly skyrocket.

"Back off!"

Realizing that it was impossible to defeat this former underling in a short time, Zefa quickly turned around and shouted at the students behind him.

At that moment, Weevil, who was gripping Zefa's fist firmly with one hand, suddenly spun his long-handled sword several times in his other hand and slashed down at Zefa with terrifying force.

"Prepare to die!"

"Naval Type 6: Iron Block, Steel Body"

"clang!!!"

The long-handled broadsword slammed down on Zefa, the immense force instantly transforming into a shockwave that exploded outwards, while the entire training ship sank several meters into the sea.

Even after enduring such a powerful attack, Zephyr appeared completely unharmed.

"so hard!"

Weevil's slightly sluggish voice rang out, and then he grabbed Zefa's arm and suddenly burst out with tremendous strength, lifting Zefa, who was less than half his size, up and throwing him behind him.

"boom!"

Another loud bang rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Zephyr, who was no match for Weevil in terms of pure brute force, was like a rag doll, being frantically lifted up and slammed onto the deck by Weevil.
