"Incompetent pirates?"
Binz, who could still remain calm, had his nerves instantly on edge.
In the new recruit camp, they were deliberately told to pay attention to certain special intelligence.
For example, besides the Four Emperors, there were also people who should not be provoked.
Enemies whom they could unconditionally abandon their mission and leave upon encountering.
Among them, on that list of "cannot provoke," was the alias "Pirate Incompetent."
A pirate who was said to have inherited the powerful strength of Whitebeard in his youth.
But possessed only the intelligence of an "incompetent."
This kind of pirate with a childlike mind, once they threw a tantrum, they were more severe than Jack's single-mindedness or a woman's morning temper.
Looking at the two figures standing on the small boat: one a burly, five-to-six-meter-tall giant, and the other a short, withered-faced old woman.
Looking at these two, Zephyr's face turned ashen.
For Zephyr, he was willing to encounter ruthless individuals, and even the Four Emperors.
But he absolutely did not want to encounter enemies with whom communication was impossible.
Facing this kind of "Pirate Incompetent," the only option was to settle matters with the blade.
Most importantly, these two before him were not simple characters.
One was rumored to be Whitebeard's illegitimate son.
The other was rumored to be a lover Whitebeard had carelessly gotten involved with in his drunken stupor.
She was a woman who had reportedly been on the Rocks Pirates crew forty years ago.
Such existences could not be compared to ordinary pirates.
"Miss Baccarat, why are you attacking us?" Zephyr's expression darkened, and he shouted urgently, "I recall the World Government recently proposed you as a candidate for the Seven Warlords."
"If you attack a Navy new recruit training ship like this, once it reaches the ears of the Five Elders, your future Seven Warlord title will be directly revoked."
As a former Marine Admiral and the overall instructor of the Navy, he had some knowledge of these internal decisions.
However, as these words fell, the faces of the Navy recruits under attack on the ship changed drastically.
The Seven Warlords were known as one of the strongest forces at sea.
This "Pirate Incompetent" before them had actually caught the attention of the World Government and even the Five Elders.
Their strength was naturally self-evident.
If Zephyr alone had to stop such a terrifying existence, it would be difficult.
Let alone protecting the safety of these recruits.
"Haha, old Zephyr, I didn't expect you to still be alive," Baccarat's withered face twitched, and she said with a dry laugh.
"You just said that the World Government gave my precious son a chance to inherit the future Seven Warlord position."
"Although my precious son is meant to inherit his father Whitebeard's strongest title and become a true Yonko."
"However, becoming a Seven Warlord now is the best option."
"But every person who becomes a Seven Warlord has accomplished a monumental event. Even that ugly woman Hancock destroyed a kingdom."
With that said, a ferocious smile appeared on Baccarat's face as she said, "My son possesses the demeanor of an emperor. If he were to destroy a kingdom as well, his brilliance would only be overshadowed by that ugly woman Hancock."
"Since we want to make a big splash, of course, we have to do something unprecedented and truly monumental."
"Therefore, killing the Navy new recruits led by former Marine Admiral Zephyr should be a very good idea."
His somewhat lengthy speech at this moment felt like the grim reaper's death knell.
Falling upon their ears, looking at the tall and short combination before them, only one thought came to mind.
They've gone mad!
These two pirates are completely insane.
To become a Seven Warlord in a spectacular fashion, they are hunting down the ship of Navy new recruits.
Aren't they afraid of failing spectacularly and losing the Seven Warlord position?
No!
It should be said that in Zephyr's eyes, neither the resentful Baccarat nor the "incompetent" Weevil had considered this point.
"What's wrong, Zephyr? Why not surrender obediently, so your students don't have to suffer too much before dying? That's not a good thing!"
"Mom, hurry up and let me kill them all! Didn't you tell me that if I do something big, Dad will accept me?" Weevil said with a spoiled tone after sniffing.
Hearing these childlike words, Zephyr's facial muscles twitched.
However, he suppressed his disgust and said, "Baccarat, I advise you not to be too naive. I, Zephyr, may not have been an Admiral for a long time, but my strength still remains."
"Moreover, I have already notified Marine Headquarters. Support will arrive soon. If you insist on attacking, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain!"
"A loss that outweighs the gain?"
Baccarat's withered face twitched and she burst into laughter.
"Old Zephyr, this is the first time I've seen you talk so much nonsense. You used to attack pirates the moment you saw them. Now it seems you've truly gotten old."
"Don't forget, we are not the same as forty years ago. Weevil has inherited Whitebeard's strongest power from his youth. Don't expect to hold out until reinforcements arrive."
"Even if reinforcements arrive, they will be cut down by my son with a single sword."
With that said, a ferocious smile flashed across Baccarat's face, and she shouted sternly, "My son, attack and kill them all!"
"Okay, Mom, I know!"
"As long as I kill them all, Dad will definitely like me." Weevil sniffled, his gaze shifting to Zephyr.
At this moment, Zephyr's nerves tightened, and the pores on his body stood on end.
This was a long-lost sense of mortal danger.
This feeling was something Zephyr had only encountered from his old rivals in the past.
Could this "incompetent" person before him truly possess strength comparable to Whitebeard in his youth?
"All of you, retreat! Control the ship and defend against the pirate attack from behind."
"Ain, you will command them. Your orders are my orders. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."
A series of commands were issued by Zephyr. After a pause, he said, "Fight with all your might, and I hope you can hold out until support arrives!"
Boom!
A low, breaking sound suddenly echoed.
Before Ain could respond, Weevil, unable to hold back any longer, made his move.
With heavy strides, his massive body soared into the sky.
The naginata in his hand slashed through the air.
He unleashed a flying slash right from the start.
Under Zephyr's watchful gaze, he unleashed seven to eight slashes in quick succession.
In an instant, a sky full of blade energy descended, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the top of the warship.
Sensing this terrifying aura, Zephyr's expression changed, and he stepped forward to intercept.
