The pinnacle of the navy! It all started when Garp captured him Chapter 004

The training ground at night The training ground of the Navy Headquarters was still brightly lit in the night. Hundreds of naval recruits were sweating profusely and throwing punches like rain under the moonlight.

Roy followed behind Cap and saw from afar a mountain-like figure standing in the middle of the playground.

He was a man with short purple hair, his hair fluttering in the night breeze, his black sunglasses reflecting the moonlight, and his calloused fists were guiding the recruits in their punching postures, one punch at a time, as if he wanted to inject “justice” itself into their fists.

“Black Arm” Zefa!

Roy’s heart skipped a beat.

In his previous comic book life, this was the role he felt most sorry for—the mentor who trained three admirals but insisted on the concept of “no killing”, the man who still fought for justice after losing everything.

But now, 1500-year-old Zephyr has both arms intact and is at his peak!

Sensing Garp’s presence, Zephyr snorted without even turning his head: “Garp, you bastard finally came back? Zhan Guo was so angry that he smashed three vases in the office.”

Cap laughed and slapped Roy on the back, pushing him forward: “Look what I brought you! This is a treasure I found in the East China Sea!”

Under the moonlight, Zefa finally turned around slowly.

When the eyes hidden behind the sunglasses fell on Roy’s bandaged but upright figure, he raised his eyebrows slightly: “Is it possible for you, an old bastard, to say ‘baby’…”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung out with his right fist!

“Bang–!”

The air seemed to explode and the fist wind was like a cannonball!

Roy’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his body reacted before he thought – while teleporting back, his armament color instinctively covered his crossed defensive arms!

“clang!”

There seemed to be a crisp sound of metal colliding in the air.

Zefa’s fist stopped steadily in mid-air, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Observation Haki predictive, Armament Haki prototype, reaction speed acceptable.”

Retracting his fist, he glanced at Garp and said, “He is indeed a good candidate.”

Garp proudly put his hand on Roy’s shoulder and smiled like a cunning old fox: “This kid even slapped a sea king away with his bare hands!”

Zefa raised his eyebrows and smiled even more: “Really? That’s interesting.”

After the training, Zefa took the two into his office.

In the office, an old chandelier emitted a dim light, and a faded family photo hung on the wall – it was a photo of Zephyr standing side by side with Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru when he was still wearing the admiral’s epaulettes.

In the photo, everyone is smiling with high spirits.

Roy’s heart ached. That was Zefa’s most glorious era, but also his most painful memory.

“Sit down, kid.” Zefa pointed to the chair, his voice low and steady.

Roy sat up quickly: “Yes!”

Zefa looked at Roy and said slowly: “Garp said you ate the teleportation fruit?”

Roy nodded: “Yes! I call it ‘super teleportation’ myself. I can flash to any visible place at will!”

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot with a “swish” and stood steadily behind Zefa the next second.

Zefa grabbed with his backhand without even turning his head, but missed.

When I looked up, Roy was already hanging upside down on the ceiling, with a smug look on his face: “Hehe.”

Zefa rarely showed a smile: “Interesting.”

He stood up, his eyes burning under his sunglasses: “Starting tomorrow, you will train with the new recruits.”

At this point, he pointed his finger at Roy and his tone suddenly became stern: “Practice for two hours more every day, and I will personally teach you Armament Haki!”

Roy suddenly jumped up from the chair, and the chair fell to the ground with a clang: “Is it really possible?! Teacher Zefa!”

Zefa reached out and pressed his shoulder. The strength and warmth from his calloused palm made Roy’s nose ache.

“Remember,” Zefa’s voice was sonorous and powerful: “Ability is just a tool. The real strong -”

“Justice is enforced by fists!” Karp suddenly interrupted, and his hearty laughter echoed in the office.

Zefa smiled gently: “Domineering is the only truth!”

Garp laughed loudly, “I was right, wasn’t I? Zefa, old friend, you are worthy of being me!”

Roy stared blankly at the two veterans laughing side by side. Under the moonlight, he seemed to see the “Black Wrist” Zephyr, who was full of vigor and always guarding justice, with star-like light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he secretly swore in his heart –

“Since I have been given the opportunity, I must change that miserable future!”

The next morning, at the Naval Headquarters training ground.

The first rays of morning light shone on the playground. The naval recruits had already gathered and lined up in neat rows. The air was filled with the scent of sweat and sea breeze.

Garp and Zephyr stood in the middle of the training ground at the same time. This scene was simply a legendary treatment in the eyes of the recruits.

“Today’s focus is on ‘domineering combat training’!”

Zefa took off his sunglasses, revealing a sharp gaze, and spoke in a loud voice that seemed to carry a metallic texture: “Heroism is the foundation of the navy! If you can’t learn it, don’t talk about justice!”

Garp put his hands on his hips and grinned, “Listen up, little brats! Today I have specially arranged a ‘Observation Haki and Armament Haki actual combat confrontation demonstration’!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Roy to the center of the field: “Roy, this sparring will be guided by Zefa himself!”

All the recruits were in an uproar, all staring at Roy:

“Is that… the newcomer from the East China Sea?”

“Who is it? How could he be taught by both Mr. Zephyr and Vice Admiral Garp?”

“What kind of background… Could he be a relative of a high-ranking naval official?”

Roy’s heart tightened, he took a breath, slowly walked to Zefa, and clenched his fists: “Teacher Zefa, please give me more advice!”

Zefa narrowed his eyes and said in a steady voice: “Don’t be nervous, just do it, kid, let me see your reaction!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa flashed and rushed forward, punching him like a hammer with a sound of breaking wind!

“Bang–!”

Roy’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his observation instinct was activated. There was a flash of lightning under his feet, and he flashed to the side. Just as he stood firm, Zefa’s side kick attacked again like a whirlwind!

“call–!”

Armed color!

Roy instantly covered his arms with Armament Haki and crossed his arms to block. With a loud “bang”, Roy slid several meters under his feet, but he managed to stabilize his body.

The recruits widened their eyes:

“He… can actually fight against Mr. Zephyr?!”

“You can actually take on Zefa-sensei’s attack?!”

“A monster?!”

Zefa’s mouth curled up slightly: “Not bad, you can use observation Haki to dodge and armament Haki to block in a short period of time. Good reaction!”

“but–”

Before he finished speaking, Zefa suddenly retracted his fist, his footsteps were like thunder, and his body suddenly rose up, pressing down like a mountain!

“Bang, bang, bang—!”

A series of punches came like a violent storm. Roy used all his strength to teleport and dodged again and again, but Zefa’s punches followed closely behind him as if they could predict their trajectory.

Roy dodged while thinking, “Teacher Zephyr is too strong! The range of his observation Haki… It’s like he has turned on the perspective cheat!”

Suddenly, a flaw!

Zefa seized the opportunity and threw a heavy punch, but Roy instinctively blocked it.

“Bang!!!”

His arms went numb, and Roy was blown several meters away, falling to the ground with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Zefa walked over slowly and looked down at him: “Yes, kid, your teleportation ability is very strong, but your domineering power is the foundation of your standing at the top of the strong!”

“Remember: Dominance is an extension of faith. The stronger the faith, the stronger the power!”

Cap walked forward with a big laugh and picked Roy up from the ground: “I’m counting on you! Don’t just hide! Fight back!”

Roy gritted his teeth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit: “Yes! Please continue to teach me!”

Zefa nodded with satisfaction: “Very good!”

“continue!”

On the training ground, fists whistled, electric flashes flashed, and domineering shock waves spread out in circles.

The recruits were completely dumbfounded:

“Oh my god, he’s been fighting Zephyr-sensei for so long and he hasn’t fallen yet!”

“That’s ‘Black Arm’ Zephyr! What kind of monster is he?!”

“This newcomer is definitely a future general-level figure…”

The morning light shines, and sweat and dust mix together.

Roy, with scratches all over his body and shaking arms, had extremely firm eyes.

“It takes time to hone your Haki… But…”

He took a deep breath and pursed his lips.

“I will become stronger than anyone else! I will never make the same mistake again!”

On the training ground, Garp and Zephyr smiled at each other, their eyes filled with immense satisfaction and anticipation.

On the other side of the training ground, senior students of Zefa Training Camp – Smoker (12 years old) and Tina (10 years old) were also present, preparing to start their respective physical training.

Smoker stared at Roy, who was flashing in the center of the field, and frowned slightly: “That brat… He was able to fight with Teacher Zefa for so long when they first met, and he was even able to use the ability of teleportation… He is really a monster.”

Tina played with the handcuffs in her hands, and said in a slightly cold tone, “Smoker, this new guy might become your strong rival in the future.”

Smoker snorted coldly and exhaled a puff of smoke: “Humph, no matter who he is, if he wants to become a strong man, he must go through a lot of trials and tribulations. I hope he can withstand the training of Mr. Zephyr.”

Tina raised the corner of her mouth slightly: “I am a little interested in him.”

The two looked at each other and at the same time looked at the young man in the center of the venue who was still standing unyieldingly under Zefa’s violent attack.
