After the two met at a deserted island not far away, they left separately. Yixiao found a small boat from the corner, stood at the bow of the boat like a master and slowly headed to the island, the painting style was full. Zefa didn't have such a fancy style, he just jumped there with the moon step.
This is because of the different backgrounds of the two people. Yixiao has a stronger sense of chivalry and will instinctively maintain his status. Zefa is from the navy and is a straightforward person. Anyone who dared to play with this style back then was killed.
When they arrived at the deserted island, the two stood opposite each other and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
The navy recruits who were left at the dock to watch the battle were chatting. In their opinion, the blind swordsman was a little overconfident. Zefa, the old man, beat the navy elites like grandsons every day. That kind of strange power was not something that an old man with gray hair could use.
They were beaten up on the first day of the boot camp. They attacked together and pounced at the same time. The speed was so fast that their eyes were blurred, and a burst of excruciating pain came from their bodies, and then they wailed and it was over.
After all, he is a former admiral of the navy. It is not a big deal for him to sweep across the South China Sea. The South China Sea can be regarded as the second weakest sea area. The first is the East China Sea. The East China Sea is beaten up by Garp every day, and now it is swept by Akainu again. It is too pitiful.
Although the intelligence officer knew that the blind swordsman was quite powerful, he had never had any conflicts with the Navy or the World Government, so his assessment of his combat power was unclear, so he just took it easy and waited.
However, after sweeping across the South China Sea, they were quite confident in Zephyr's strength. Dragon + Noah + Fujitora were enough to surround and kill the active admirals. They were really a group of jinxes.
On the deserted island, Zefa was not the type to quietly confront. He activated his Armament Haki, shaved his feet, and punched. Although he was not too serious, it was not something that an ordinary person could take. The fist wind tore through the air, but the dark iron fist was easily taken by an unsheathed staff sword without even a tremor.
'What! Not good!'
A huge counterattack force came from the staff and sword, and Zefa was pushed back several hundred meters without any intention. His hands maintained a defensive posture, but his body was constantly pushed back by the huge force, and his feet plowed two long shallow grooves on the ground.
He raised his head and said with a barely perceptible smile.
"If the former admiral of the navy is only this good..."
The following words did not need to be finished, as they aroused Zefa's anger. He was careless for a moment and lost face. His Armament Haki was fully activated, and black spread over his body. The terrifying destructive power was restrained in his tempered body under the perception of his Observation Haki. Once he made a move, it would be earth-shattering.
I didn't expect to meet such a master in the South China Sea, so let's have a good fight.
"The provocation skills Noah taught me are really useful. For an opponent of status, you only need to keep half of what you say and let the opponent imagine the rest. This will make the opponent even angrier. Noah is really good at this."
Sensing Zefa's seriousness, Yixiao solemnly drew out his staff sword and raised the blade to prepare for the attack.
The two disappeared in an instant and reappeared in the middle area. The iron fist and the sword blade collided, and circles of white air waves exploded at the core. Although they were flesh and blood, they continued to collide with the sword blade and sparks flew. The two refused to give in and continued to increase their strength. In the end, they were both shaken apart by the force.
Adjusting his body shape, he continued to fight, constantly disappearing, constantly appearing, and constantly colliding. The confrontation between speed and strength slowly climbed to the peak. Shock waves appeared layer by layer on the deserted island, and all the rocky hills affected by the shock waves were shattered into slag. The gas explosion cloud appeared and was blown away by the strong wind, and the whole island fell into disaster.
The two separated again.
Looking at the opponent in front of him, Zefa's blood boiled and he felt happy. He hadn't felt so comfortable fighting in the past few years. Now most of the strong men on the sea have eaten devil fruits, and their battles are fancy. There is no such direct attack as this one.
"Can it be stronger?" Yixiao's voice came again from not far away.
His pupils shrank. This was the opponent's dissatisfaction. Hahahaha, let's have a fierce battle. His body and mind seemed to have returned to the era of endless war. The veteran's fighting spirit was awakening and roaring!
The battlefield was getting bigger and bigger. Neither the sky nor the ground could limit their collisions. Some shock waves even spread beyond the island, causing waves on the sea surface and disturbing the ocean.
The continuous loud noises had spread from the deserted island to the distant dock, making the navy officers present look daunted. An opponent who could take such a punch was not something that these recruits could discuss. With this force and frequency, one could imagine how fierce the battle would be.
The intelligence officer was sweating coldly. The person who collected the intelligence was negligent. A person of this strength has been traveling the sea for so many years, and you simply labeled him a master? There are differences between masters. A master who can fight with a general is called a great master.
When Noah received the information, his first reaction was disbelief, his second reaction was whether he was exposed, and his third reaction was to go and support Yixiao immediately.
But after reading the detailed report, I was speechless. It turns out that what you said before leaving was so meaningful... According to your plan, you just go up and start fighting. It's the ultimate simplified version of "No fight, no acquaintance". Excellent.
Poor brother Zefa, he got beaten up just after entering the South China Sea. In this duel, Noah clearly stood on the side of Yixiao's victory. It was not because of trust in his comrades, but purely because of the comparison of strength.
When Zephyr was at his peak, he was also weaker than the other admirals. The only two who relied on physical strength to dominate the navy were Kong and Garp, and Zephyr was still a step behind. Sengoku followed the path of fruit plus domineering, and he was not the same as them.
When you reach the top level, sometimes talent can really help a lot. After all, things that can determine the upper limit of the physical body are very rare. Most of them still rely on the ability of the fruit to continue to improve.
Chapter 159 Warring States Sigh
On the main battlefield of the deserted island, the battle is in full swing.
For the time being, the two were evenly matched. This tug-of-war continued until the evening with no clear winner. General-level physical monsters all liked this, and it seemed that they could not show their abilities without fighting for several days and nights.
As they fought, they also got really angry. Without using the power of the fruit, Yixiao was still slightly inferior to Zefa. After all, Zefa made a living by relying on his body, and his various physical skills had become his body's instincts. If their physical qualities were equal, then their fighting skills could be divided into advantages and disadvantages.
After a while, Yixiao finally used his fruit ability. Without the fruit ability, it was like having one hand tied. His combat system still needed to be coordinated with his fruit ability to be brought into play.
A strike of the Gravity Blade Tiger caught Zefa off guard and he could only block it with his hands. As a result, he was blown away and collapsed a hill.
'I see. I feel that the moves of this blind swordsman are a bit strange. There is not much pure sword energy. He fights with strength and speed. I didn't expect that these moves are in line with the ability of the fruit. That's even more interesting. It's not like I haven't fought against people with the ability of the fruit before!'
Zefa quickly pushed aside the rubble and regrouped.
"Come on, continue."
"Then I won't be polite, Gravity Blade Hell Brigade!"
The huge gravity covered the island in an instant, and Zefa was pressed down without paying attention, and his body was shaking a little. However, Yixiao did not take this opportunity to attack, but gave Zefa time to adjust.
'Gravity Fruit?'
After taking a few deep breaths, Zefa adjusted himself. For his well-trained body, this amount of gravity was no problem. He got ready and continued to fight.
Then, in the gravity field, Yixiao copied the tactics he used against Noah, constantly adjusting the focus multiples, sometimes high and sometimes low, and combining it with his swordsmanship to beat Zefa terribly.
Pure gravity oppression is not a problem, but this unpredictable field is a bit confusing. At first, Noah relied on the space-based Door-Door Fruit to fight with magic against magic. Zefa is a pure physical warrior, so naturally he can't use such tactics.
His response was to leave the battle to his body's instincts. His body, which had fought for decades, had its own response when facing a crisis. He only needed to control his focus on the operation of his domineering energy, and he immediately recovered a little.
Such fighting skills amazed Yixiao. Among all the masters he had seen, only Zefa opened his eyes like this. He was worthy of being a navy admiral who had reached the pinnacle of pure physical skills. He was indeed amazing.
The battle intensified once again, and the deserted island was almost flattened by the two humanoid monsters.
It was the first time for the naval recruits who had camped there to see a battle of this level. They did not expect the battle to last so long. All they could do here was listen to the noise, watch the waves surging, and occasionally see sword energy flying. That was all.
I get numb after watching for too long. I should exercise and collect intelligence. What else can I do? Will I be blown away by the aftermath?
The intelligence officer also reported the battle to the naval headquarters.
"The blind swordsman Yixiao is a folk master with admiral-level combat power. He has been wandering around the world for many years. The reason for coming to the South China Sea to challenge Zefa is unknown. He is righteous and old-fashioned. His only hobby is gambling. He has had some contact with the Navy branch in the past, all in exchange for bounties."
Zhan Guo listened to Yixiao's briefing and felt neither amused nor helpless.
"For a person of this strength, there are only a few pages of information? Many of them are obviously just made up. What about his combat record? What about his background? What is his current status? The current intelligence work is really too poor, almost on par with the World Government. It's slack, too slack!"
When Zhan Guo learned that a general-level fighter had emerged in Nanhai, he was very surprised. With such strength, he could be so low-key. Could there be a big conspiracy or a big plan? Smart people think more and more. To hide such a master, even subverting Nanhai would not be enough to highlight the terribleness of this conspiracy.
It turned out that the record had already been kept, but it was such an unremarkable resume that it did not attract any attention.
"Okay, Sengoku, don't be angry. This matter is indeed the fault of the intelligence department, but they can't be blamed entirely. Think about it, a general-level combat force, does not form a faction, does not bully men and women, does not confront the World Government and the Navy, and does not confront other major forces. Occasionally, they only eliminate small thugs, and some pirates in the first half of the exchange for bounties.
Such a lifestyle makes it difficult to reveal one's own intelligence. It takes only a moment for an admiral to kill an ordinary pirate, and even bystanders cannot see clearly. If such intelligence is not deliberately collected, how can there be many records? After all, there are so many people on this sea. "
Vice Admiral Tsuru, who came to the meeting overnight, said a few more pragmatic words. This kind of thing is hard to prevent, and the world government cannot monitor every person on this ocean.
"What we need to consider now is whether we need to send people to reinforce Zefa."
"According to the intelligence at the scene, Yixiao approached Zefa openly to challenge him to a fight. This is not a big problem. Zefa also sensed that he had no intention of killing, so I suggest that we hold off for now. We will know what is going on after the fight. With Zefa's strength, no one present can kill him.
Besides, there is no one in the Marine Headquarters who can reinforce him. Kizaru is guarding the gate to the New World in the G1 branch, Akainu and Garp in the East China Sea are investigating the death of the Celestial Dragons and searching for Noah, and the Marshal and Aokiji of the headquarters cannot act rashly. They need to be careful in the Sabaody Archipelago and Marijoa, because if one Celestial Dragon dies, there may be another one.
Therefore, we can ask the staff and intelligence department to pay more attention to the situation in the South China Sea, and make an evacuation plan in case Zefa encounters danger. "
Vice Admiral Tsuru's mature and prudent suggestion was agreed upon by all the senior officials present at the meeting, and then the meeting was adjourned, leaving Zhan Guo alone, looking out the window in frustration.
What's wrong with the sea now? Something happens every now and then. Noah's suspected great swordsman already bothered him, and the South China Sea was even more straightforward, with a general-level combat force directly appearing. The turbulent sea also reminded him of the sea when he was young. That was really a bad time.
Noah on the Resurrection Island was working all night. The endless documents were really exhausting. As for the battle between Zefa and Yixiao, let them go. In the end, they will be friends. It’s better for them to get to know each other in advance. There is no acquaintance without fighting.
I just hope Yixiao doesn't go too far, it will be troublesome if the scene is too big.
Chapter 160 Fujitora Smashes Zefa
Whether the scene was big or not was no longer Noah's business.
Fighting is a normal thing. Fighting with Yixiao is always easy to get angry. That gravity field is really disgusting and makes people angry. Thinking of this, Noah has never reflected on the fact that his use of the door fruit is also quite tricky.
Zefa's disadvantage is that his combat skills are too plain and simple. Although his real damage is very high, the lighting and shadow effects are relatively poor. No matter how he fights, in the eyes of most people, he always feels that he has no upper hand.
But if you really think Zephyr is just so-so, then take a punch and you will know, every punch is a critical hit. This is the fighting style passed down by the older generation. Kong, Garp, and Zephyr all follow this style.
Three days later, the training of the recruits continued as usual. While running along the coastline, they felt a little numb while watching the sword energy flying on the deserted island.
The first day, shocking, the power of the strong can change the color of the sky and earth, make the sea flow backwards, and make the mountains and rivers collapse. We should learn from the strong, and practice two more sets today.
The next day, in awe, the aftermath made the sea surge, and the weak felt the fragility of life. The strong today is our tomorrow, so we will do two more sets today.
On the third day, it was terrifying. I was still fighting. My physical strength was like a monster. I had to find a random excuse to continue training. Come on, General Zefa.
Watching the strong men fighting stimulated the morale of the new recruits. Every young man would be unruly before he has experienced a beating. There were no monsters like the three admirals in this period, so everyone’s future was bright.
Besides, they have nothing else to do except training.
For three days, the navy's new recruits have been staying in the safe zone of the port and have not yet obtained permission to enter the country. This is because Admiral Zefa, the head of the navy, is fighting passionately on a deserted island far away. The navy cannot enter the country at will without a proper handover with the host country.
This is not a request from the South China Sea Federation, but a request from the World Government. No matter whether it is a member state or not, the Navy is not allowed to do this. After all, the people in the World Government are very clear that at this stage, the biggest threat to them is actually the Navy.
The intelligence officer contacted officials from the South China Sea Federation and received a very official response: please continue to wait.
Yixiao on the deserted island felt that the fight was enough. It had been three days. If they continued to fight, they would be injured and it would be difficult to talk about things. So he used this move to end the fight.
Looking for an air strike, he left the core battle circle, and then swung his staff sword around his body, before sheathing it, trying his best to show off. Zefa, who saw this move for the first time, was puzzled. Is this how it works? But seeing Yixiao's expression that said, "I've used my ultimate move, just wait for it," he also slowed down the pace of the battle, wanting to see what would happen next.
If Zefa stubbornly went up to continue the fight at this time, Yixiao might be extremely depressed. I pretended to be so good at this move, but you didn't watch carefully, and then showed a shocked look, and you ran to continue the fight. Isn't it too much? Where is the demeanor of a master?
Unfortunately, Zefa doesn't know how to go against the routine, so he can only follow the process that Yixiao imagined. As expected...
'This is! '
After a while, Zefa suddenly looked up into the sky, and a huge sense of oppression was rapidly approaching in his perception.
The new recruits who were originally listening to the iron hammering sounds at the beach were still curious as to why it suddenly stopped. Was the fight over? Did Admiral Zefa win?
"Hey... I think I'm hallucinating. Why is there a meteorite falling from the sky?"
"No, it's not an illusion, it's a meteorite!"
"Fuck, it's over."
Everyone was stunned and stood there unable to move. Was this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Ordinary people on the beach were also terrified. How could a meteorite fall from the sky after a period of good life?
Alas, that’s not right. The target of this meteorite is too clear. It’s heading straight for the deserted island.
The meteorite dragging with flames continued to accelerate towards Zefa, which had a strong visual impact. This feeling of being locked also made Zefa understand that it was not a natural disaster, but the enemy's means of attack.
He was a little shocked at first, but after calming down, he felt that this meteorite could not cause fatal damage to him. If he really dodged with all his strength, he could still make this meteorite fly away.
But will he be scared when the enemy attacks so openly? Having roamed the sea for decades, the iron-fisted Zefa has fought his way through head-on battles. He is fully covered with armed color, strengthened, and strengthened again, letting the blood flow endlessly through his body.
A cloud of gas rose up from under his feet, rocks flew everywhere, and the man rushed straight into the sky.
People in the distance saw a black shadow rushing towards the meteorite at an extremely fast speed. The navy members with good eyesight discovered that the black shadow was their chief instructor, former admiral of the navy, Iron-Fisted Zephyr.
He ran to the side of the meteorite in one breath, inhaled, clenched his fists and put them at his waist, accumulated strength, and then punched continuously at super high speed. The meteorite was hit with a continuous thunderous sound.
If it is combined with JOJO's voice acting, it will be
"Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola."
I don’t know how many punches Ora threw at him, but Zefa retreated a distance and then fell freely.
"Click, click, click."
At the same time, several large cracks appeared on the meteorite, along which dense small cracks extended, then continued to split inward, and finally shattered directly in the air.
Zefa's domineering aura has destroyed the inside of the meteorite. There is not even a large piece of rock here. They are all the size of a fist. When they rub against the air, they set off a burst of fire, and there is nothing left.
The soldiers in the distance were shocked as they watched Zefa punch and smash the meteorite into pieces, which then turned into a rain of fire and fell from the sky. Is this the world of the strong? Summoning meteorites and then smashing them, how terrifying.
Zefa took a moon step before landing, allowing himself to land calmly in front of Yixiao. Many of his clothes were torn when he hit the Euler meteorite, but his sunglasses were still spotless.
The two men knew that this was the final blow, so they each tidied up their looks.
"Former admiral of the navy, instructor at the boot camp, Zephyr."
"The guardian of the South China Sea Federation smiles."
After the fight, the two men introduced themselves to each other, this time in a very peaceful manner, as if the ruins around them were not created by them.
They returned to the dock together on Yixiao's specially made boat.
"Instructor, how are you?"
The marines all gathered around and asked the instructor about his well-being. There was no way around it. From the overall appearance of the two people, it seemed that Mr. Zephyr had lost. At this time, appropriate comfort could have... the opposite effect.
Zefa was very dissatisfied when he saw the new recruits gathered around him. You looked like you could see that you lost, but it's even more annoying when we pretended not to know.
