Sensing the overwhelming blade energy attacking him, Zephyr's expression darkened, and he roared furiously.
"Full body Armament Haki!"
The ink-black Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body, making Zephyr feel as if he were forged from steel, giving him an indestructible aura.
Facing Weevil's attack, Zephyr knew the only way was to repel Weevil first.
Otherwise, once the other pirates caught up, they would be doomed.
With this thought, Zephyr didn't hesitate for a moment. He stomped his foot and instantly used Soru.
In the next moment, like a phantom, he appeared before the incoming blade energy.
His hands, covered in ink-black Armament Haki, slammed powerfully towards the blade energy.
Bang, bang, bang!
Thunderous collisions echoed.
The incoming blade energy was instantly shattered.
The bursting wind energy rolled back like a tide.
However, before Zephyr could react, Weevil, who was already in mid-air, had somehow appeared before Zephyr.
The naginata in his hand, covered in Armament Haki, slashed directly downwards.
Facing the attack rapidly enlarging in his pupils, Zephyr's expression changed.
He didn't have time to raise his hand to block.
Boom!
Immense power was unleashed like a stampede of ten thousand horses at this moment.
Zephyr's face changed, and he was sent flying backward, stomping heavily on the deck.
Bang!
The immense impact caused the deck to crack instantly.
The resulting shockwaves swept outwards.
"Teacher Zephyr, quickly save us! They're here!"
A cry for help suddenly rang out.
Zephyr's expression changed, and he quickly looked behind him.
The first thing that caught his eye was the rapidly approaching pirate ships.
Thick chains were instantly shot onto the warship.
The warship, which was sailing normally, was suddenly immobilized by these chains.
"Haha, I didn't expect Boss Weevil to stop the warship with just one move."
"Little ones, this is a chance to make a name for ourselves! Once we become Seven Warlords, all our past crimes will be wiped clean."
"Kill! Hurry up and board! Help Boss Weevil kill all these Navy new recruits!"
A burly Fish-Man, at least seven to eight meters tall, roared with laughter.
As these words fell, the pirates on the five pirate ships cheered.
The scene was truly hair-raising.
Looking at the pirates surging towards them, the new recruits present were instantly intimidated by this fierce aura.
"Ai... Ain, quickly think of a way! What do we do?" Us, who had lost an arm, couldn't hold back and said urgently.
"Haha, what to do?"
"Of course, you'll obediently offer your heads!" a ferocious laugh suddenly rang out.
Us felt a gust of wind before his eyes, and a phantom-like figure lunged towards him.
The door-sized greatsword slashed down towards him.
Seeing this, Shuzo, who had top grades in the new recruit camp, was instantly stunned.
He completely forgot how to dodge the attack.
Clang!
A crisp metallic collision suddenly sounded.
A graceful figure had already intercepted and blocked Shuzo.
The dagger in her slender hand, covered in Armament Haki, directly blocked the heavy greatsword.
"Oh, so there are beauties among the Navy too! It seems this trip was well worth it!" the muscular man who attacked laughed ferociously.
However, as soon as this smile bloomed on his face, he met Ain's cold gaze in the next moment.
Click, clang!
A crisp mechanical sound suddenly rang out.
The two Sea Prism Stone bracers on Ain's wrists were released and fell off.
Feeling the long-lost power, which had been sealed by Sea Prism Stone, rapidly spread through her limbs.
Ain tightened her dagger and said coldly, "I'll hold them off. Binz, lead them to form a defensive line and do your best to hold out until reinforcements arrive. Don't cause any more trouble for Teacher Zephyr!"
Facing the menacing pirates before her, Ain knew clearly that Zephyr's presence was their greatest shield.
If even Zephyr lost, then they would be doomed.
"Reinforcements?"
The burly man who attacked was stunned at first, then laughed heartily. "Girl, you new recruits are too naive."
"Let alone whether any Navy will arrive in time, but in the face of absolute strength, all struggles are futile. No matter how many reinforcements you have, it's a dead end."
"Moreover, we will finish you within ten minutes. You won't even get to wait for the Navy's support!"
As these words fell, the expressions of the new recruits changed again.
Sensing the shift in atmosphere, Ain's face darkened and she said, "Then you'll have to get past me first. Let me show you the results of Teacher Laxus's training!"
"Rewind!"
Ain moved first. With a flip of her left hand, her Devil Fruit ability was instantly activated to its limit.
Without any fancy moves, she slapped directly at the burly man's chest!
Bang!
The burly man felt a tightness in his chest. He hadn't taken Ain's small hand seriously at all.
However, the moment her palm landed, an inexplicable power surged through his entire body.
His originally burly physique, his three-meter-tall massive body, instantly shrank by a circle.
It felt as if his body had been drained, and his strength was greatly diminished.
The greatsword, which he had been gripping like a door panel, gave him the illusion of it slipping from his grasp.
"One!"
Ain moved like a phantom, bypassing the greatsword that was suppressing her, and instantly passed through the burly man.
With a flourish of her dagger, she cut his throat.
As blood splattered, Ain's petite figure, like a shadow, rapidly moved towards the attacking pirates.
With another raise of her left hand, the power of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit instantly transformed into more than a dozen arrows, shooting out.
"Retrograde Arrow!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The pirates charging towards her were instantly hit.
Pirates in their early twenties were instantly regressed by ten years.
Those who were only fifteen or sixteen became like little kids.
However, facing these bewildered pirates, and their innocent faces after becoming children, Ain't attacks did not stop at all.
With a fierce kick, her right leg brought a whistling sound.
Tempest Kick!
Puchi!
With one kick, a wind blade slash instantly took shape.
It directly reaped the lives of the stunned pirates at their waists.
Large amounts of blood splattered, falling like a bloody rain in the void.
This series of sudden attacks gave the impression of a seamless flow, making it seem unlike a new recruit.
This caused Zephyr's expression, who was also fighting, to change slightly.
He never expected that Ain, after only following Laxus for a short period, would be like a different person.
