After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

At least I'm a retired navy officer; I have that much common sense.

The navy has many ships, but the amount of seastone is ultimately limited; not all warships have seastone.

We have to change ships.

Where can we change ships on this vast ocean? Let's take a less efficient route.

Zoro and Kuina remained silent, gazing at the sea, lost in thought, while looking towards the Reverse Mountain in the distance.

Suddenly, the ground beneath everyone's feet swayed, and the warship's speed increased dramatically.

"What's going on? There's no wind yet?"

Martin then noticed that the surrounding seawater had suddenly become restless, and the warships were sailing at an incredible speed.

When Martin saw the towering mountain peaks ahead, he immediately understood what had happened.

He had arrived at the foot of the Reverse Mountain, caught the ocean currents of the East China Sea, and was rushing up the mountain.

"Martin!"

Nami went to the stern of the warship and shouted to Martin, "We're about to enter Reverse Mountain! Be careful!"

Martin recalled the unnatural situation at Upside Down Mountain in One Piece, which resembled a rapid current and was also very dangerous.

Seeing the Upside-Down Mountain in person, I realized how magnificent this anti-natural phenomenon is. A crack in the mountain, piercing the clouds, serves as a waterway.

The seawater, completely disregarding Mr. Newton's old face, flowed so swiftly downhill that it went straight into the high clouds.

Martin gripped the mast tightly with both hands, taking in the sight before him that was something that could never be seen on Earth.

Of course, Robin had already used her Flower Flower Fruit ability, and with a mix of excitement and panic, she successfully entered the waterway.

Following the upstream current, the warship surged into the clouds, reached the summit of Upside Down Mountain, made a sharp turn, and then began its descent.

"Wow! This is the most thrilling log flume ride I've ever taken in my life!"

A strong wind, carrying the salty seawater, blew directly onto everyone's faces and bodies. Everyone wore excited smiles, and even Martin was immersed in the atmosphere, filled with anticipation for the adventure that was about to begin.

However, it seems that Martin has already spotted their first friend on the Grand Line, the island whale Laboon!

When Martin saw the island whale Laboon, everyone on the ship also saw the behemoth. If the warship continued at its current straight-line speed, it would undoubtedly crash into it and be smashed to pieces!

"Ah! What is that huge mountain? We're about to crash into it!" Zoro saw Laboon's enormous body through his telescope.

"We have to find a way to get away from it! Otherwise we're doomed!" Bucky shouted.

"There's a gap on the left! Quick! Full left! Full left!" Nami gave the order.

The ship was rocking violently and plummeting rapidly, even more violently than in an amusement park.

Martin remained calm and composed, believing that as long as nothing went wrong, the violent impact would not harm his ship.

As the warship drew ever closer to the mountain-like body of Labab, Martin couldn't help but exclaim, "So huge!"

Martin breathed a sigh of relief when the warship, which had been traveling at high speed, finally calmed down.

The area where the warship is now is surrounded by blue skies and white clouds, with a few seagulls in the distance and green seawater below, which looks exceptionally calm.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The high-speed up-and-down ride was so thrilling; their hearts were practically leaping out of their throats.

Just as everyone was gazing at the distant scenery, to their utter surprise, a naval fleet appeared on the sea ahead. Standing on this naval fleet was a man. This man was tall, with purple hair, and looked to be in his fifties.

Martin's Observation Haki immediately detected the other party's figure.

He suddenly thought of someone: former Marine Admiral Zephyr!

Oh?

General Zephyr?

I never expected to encounter this tragic man here.

Martin carefully scanned the area with his Observation Haki and discovered that something was wrong. Zephyr was being pursued, and there were countless dead and injured on the ship.

Yes, it seems Zephyr is being chased by a pirate ship.

Wait a minute, this year seems to be the year that General Zephyr lost his arm.

Martin immediately looked toward the pirate ship, where he saw a blond man wielding a large sword. The man was muscular and exuded an imposing aura.

Whitebeard Jr.!

Edward Weebull.

At this rate, old man Zefa is going to have his arm chopped off!

Martin didn't want to get involved in this matter. Although Zefa was pitiful, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business.

He ordered the ships to turn around and prepare to leave this troublesome sea area.

Then they saw Zephyr's ship heading towards their ship at an extremely fast speed!

From a distance, Zephyr shouted, "Run! Or you'll die!"

Martin's lips twitched, and he roared, "...Don't come any closer!"

Teacher Zefa, Chapter 113

"Zeff, the former Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, the highest combat force of the World Government, was known as "Black Arm" Zephyr because of his powerful Armament Haki. He killed countless pirates in his life but never killed a single enemy, and was known as the "Non-Killing" former Marine Admiral."

By this time, Zephyr was quite old and had chosen a semi-retired state, serving as the chief instructor at the Navy Headquarters.

On the naval vessel, Zephyr was directing the ship forward at high speed, and he already had several bloody wounds on his body.

These are the wounds from being attacked by that monster.

He never expected that he would encounter such a monster when he was just leading his students out to capture small-time pirates and increase their combat experience.

This monster was incredibly powerful, even stronger than when he was young. The two fought fiercely for several rounds, but neither could defeat the other. Instead, he was injured.

He should have been able to fight this guy alone, and even if he couldn't defeat him, he could have stopped him and allowed the students to escape.

But this monster showed no mercy to the weak naval cadets, attacking them like a reaper. Of the three hundred cadets he led, about thirty had already died.

This is the first time since he became an instructor that he has witnessed such a large number of student casualties, which is unacceptable.

But reality told him that he had to evacuate, or else they would all be wiped out.

He had already given the order to evacuate, but the monster was relentlessly pursuing him, clearly determined to fight to the death.

"The naval vessels ahead, evacuate immediately!"

He held a megaphone and shouted loudly at a ship in front of him, trying to warn the warship to evacuate.

This monster utterly despises the navy and will fight them on sight; he doesn't want to see innocent victims.

Boom boom boom...

The pirate crews behind them opened fire, and cannonballs rained down, sinking two other smaller navy ships.

Zefa had to stop the ship to rescue the crew.

As a result, the warship's speed suddenly slowed down.

boom!

With a loud bang, the monster who called himself Whitebeard II, Weevil, suddenly leaped up and landed heavily on the deck of the warship.

The deck cracked as a result, causing the entire warship to tremble. Many naval cadets lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Faced with that terrifying pressure, many of the trainees showed fear on their faces, and their whole bodies trembled involuntarily.

"Die, Navy!"

Weevil let out an extremely terrifying roar, the sound waves of which almost made people vomit blood. Many naval cadets covered their ears, fearing that their eardrums would be ruptured by the enemy.

Weevil brandished his large naginata, bringing it down with a powerful gust of wind, intending to kill the naval cadets on the ship.

Zephyr immediately swung his arm to block the opponent's large naginata slash. At this moment, his arms and chest muscles had turned pure black, and he was fully armed with an imposing aura.

Such incredible power!

Zephyr felt an immense impact as he caught the knife with his arm, his entire arm throbbing with pain, and the Armament Haki covering his skin was almost instantly shattered.

"Is this guy really the second son of Whitebeard?"

"I've only ever seen this kind of power in the young Whitebeard!"

While being amazed, Zephyr swung his fist, which was enveloped in domineering energy, and struck Weevil squarely in the chest.

The punch was powerful, but it only made Weevil take a step back.

As if he felt no pain, Weevil immediately swung his fist and smashed it down, intending to smash Zefa into a pulp.

boom!

The deck was blasted open, leaving a hole, but Zephyr barely managed to roll away and avoid it.

The moment he stood up, he immediately moved away from Weevil, feeling immense pressure.

Perhaps only a younger version of myself could rival this monster. Now that I am old, I feel powerless to face such a powerful opponent.

Unable to confront them head-on.

If I fight a few more rounds, I will be at a disadvantage.

But he couldn't back down, because behind him were his students, whom he had brought to sea, and he had to bring them back.

Bring them back alive!

We must never allow our students to suffer this kind of harm again.

"Drink!"

In an instant, Zephyr's entire body turned black, unleashing the full power of his Armament Haki.

His black fists rained down like raindrops.

Weevil was not intimidated at all, and launched a powerful counterattack with his fists and naginata.

dong dong dong...

The two began close-quarters combat, exchanging punches and kicks, their large naginata gleaming coldly as they slashed in all directions, their black fists flashing as they launched attacks without holding back.

In the ensuing exchange of blows, Zeff landed a powerful punch on Weevil's head, but Weevil simply shook his head and countered with a punch of his own.
