Chapter 463: Black Arm Zefa
"That's... the former admiral of the navy - Black Arm Zephyr!"
"Are you kidding me? Black Arm Zephyr, who's from the same era as the Navy Admiral and the Navy Hero?"
"Didn't he say he retired twenty years ago? Why is he here?"
Zephyr's short purple hair and purple suit are quite recognizable, and the pirates from the New World are quite knowledgeable and quickly recognized Zephyr.
The words "former admiral" were very intimidating, and coupled with the fact that Zephyr had just thrown a cannonball with his bare hands, which had a destructive power far exceeding that of a cannon, panic broke out among the pirates.
In comparison, the soldiers of the King's Army felt much more at ease. They didn't expect that the King's request for help this time would be so powerful, and he directly asked for a legendary figure. In this way, maybe they could survive today?
"Shut up, everyone. He's just an old Marine after all." Xu Hai slammed the crescent shovel into the ground. "Since we've met him, let's take him out together!"
The vibrations coming from the ground reminded the pirates how powerful their captain was, and looking at the burly figure, they felt a little relieved.
"Yes, just an old marine!"
"With the captain here, it's okay!"
The pirates regrouped and continued to attack the remaining soldiers of the royal army.
"Maosheng, Maosheng~" Binz noticed several soldiers at a disadvantage and started dancing strangely on the warship.
The weeds on the ground suddenly turned into tough vines, binding the five pirates like caterpillars.
"What are those things? Vines?"
"It's a person with special abilities!"
"Damn it, I can't get free!"
The pirates twisted their bodies hard, but they could hardly exert any strength as they were tied up so tightly.
Faced with the sudden change in the battle situation, the soldiers of the King's Army were a little dazed, but they still stabbed out the weapons in their hands before their fellow pirates could help.
Zefa took out two more cannonballs and threw them out, intending to rescue several members of the King's Army.
One of them was intercepted by Xu Hai on the way. Amid the rumbling explosion, Xu Hai stared at Zefa: "Stop getting in the way, old man!"
"This is the only thing I can't promise you!" Zefa jumped out , and hit Xu Hai with his fists and wrists stained black.
"Then go to hell!" Xu Hai rushed forward, waving the crescent shovel without showing any weakness.
Bang! The fist collided with the blade of the crescent shovel, and a strong wind blew away from the collision point, and the cloak behind Zefa rustled.
Xu Hai's robe was also blown by the strong wind, and the hood slipped off his head, revealing a bald head and a ferocious face, and the thick long beard on his chin also fluttered gently in the wind.
"Monk Mingshan, Living Buddha Xu Hai, you actually escaped back to Paradise?" Zefa confirmed the identity of the enemy before him. While staring at him, he did not forget to order the students, "Support the King's Army. I will deal with Xu Hai."
Xu Hai, one of the eight warriors of the Gofeng Pirates, is not a character who can be used as a training ground for students.
One of the important reasons why Zefa personally leads the team during every internship is to guard against such extraordinary enemies. His precious students cannot die halfway before they have time to grow.
"To be honest, I just wanted to get some supplies, but I didn't intend to reveal my whereabouts so soon. Could you please keep it a secret for me?" Xu Hai swung the crescent shovel towards Zefa's neck. The confidentiality he mentioned was certainly not an ordinary confidentiality.
"Stop joking!" Zefa raised his left arm and used his wrist to block the attack, saying angrily, "If it's just ordinary supplies, do you need to destroy the town to this extent? The dead and injured residents and soldiers will never forgive you!"
"You can't blame us for this. They're the ones who refused to hand over the money. And if those soldiers didn't come up and die, I wouldn't bother with those small characters." Xu Hai spoke with standard pirate logic. It was natural for pirates to steal things.
The two men obviously had no agreement on the topic, so they just started fighting with each other again.
Both the pirates and the navy tacitly gave up that area. The boss's battle was not something they could participate in.
"Maosheng, Maosheng~"
“Back off, back off!”
"shave!"
"Iron!"
The trainees in the training camp each used their best moves and did not dare to be careless at all, because as soon as they fought, they found that these pirates were completely different from those they had encountered before.
For example, students who are good at using shaving weapons found that some pirates, although they could not keep up with the speed of shaving, were able to react in time when attacked. For example, students who used iron blocks found that they were beaten to the point of vomiting blood in the next second.
However, the two special ability users, Ain and Binz, showed their skills. Although there were a few pirates in this group who knew some armament Haki, it was not enough to offset their abilities.
Due to her carelessness, she was lightly touched by Ain and immediately lost most of her combat power. After that, it would be much easier for her to deal with it herself or let her comrades deal with it.
Binz also became a good support for control systems. As long as a few students surrounded Binz and protected him while dancing in the middle, the surrounding pirates would be constantly entangled by vines. In such a chaotic battle, it was not necessary to completely tie up the enemy; just suddenly entangle the hands or feet, and these outstanding students trained by Zephyr would naturally seize the opportunity.
At this time, it cannot be said that the pressure on the King's Army has been greatly reduced, but it can be said that there is nothing left for them to do.
Aiyin seemed to see their predicament and slapped a pirate so hard that he looked like a child. She then shouted to the bewildered royal army, "Please protect the nearby civilians and evacuate! Please also help the wounded!"
The King's Army woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly began to act according to Ain's instructions. The brave ones even touched the edge of the area where Zefa and Xu Hai were fighting and dragged away the seriously injured and unconscious Captain Lancel.
Someone reported the battle situation in the port town to the palace. The king was furious and cursed Lancel for being useless and the navy for being incompetent, allowing pirates to run rampant in his country.
However, upon learning that the pirates were one of the Eight Warriors under the direct command of the previous Four Emperors, the King quietly ordered his ministers to prepare ships and immediately take refuge at sea if anything went wrong. Even if the country was occupied by pirates, he could still go to the Navy Headquarters and order the navy to drive them out, or even go to Marijoa to seek an audience with the Five Elders. But if something happened to him, everything would be lost, and the King knew this clearly.
…
"As expected of the legendary old marine, this kind of punch, this kind of wrist strength... Ugh! It's truly exaggerated." Xu Hai spat out a mouthful of blood foam and held the crescent shovel horizontally in front of him. "But old man, has your domineering aura weakened? If you can't do it, go back home and rest."
He was punched several times and hit in the face. His condition is a little bad now. I can't be sure of other things, but at least some bones are definitely broken.
"Huh... I'm not old enough to be cared about by pirates. I'll take you to the prison to meet my old friends right away." Zefa was panting. There were several holes in his purple suit, and bloodstains were faintly visible in the holes.
This Xu Hai is stronger than he imagined, and the situation on the students' side also distracts him unconsciously, which makes it easy for his observation Haki to reveal flaws.
After being injured, Zefa realized how much his physical strength had declined. This was probably because he hadn't experienced such intense combat in so long. Fortunately, Tina had asked Wendy to help cure his asthma, otherwise he might have been dragged down by the disease.
Zefa clenched his fists. The students were doing well, which reassured him. All he had to do next was deal with this guy. Judging from the current situation, Zefa felt he would win, but it would take quite some time. But if it really took that long, he probably wouldn't have to do it himself, right?
Xu Hai realized the situation was not good, but he didn't think he would lose. It was just a minor injury, he could just endure it. With his own physical strength, he should be able to wear down this old man, right? The problem was that his men might not be able to hold on until then, so...
"The earth is rebelling against heaven!" Xu Hai smashed the crescent shovel in his hand on his head.
Zefa saw the power of this move and did not take it head-on, but instead stepped back.
The crescent shovel fell to the ground, and a crack about a foot wide appeared with a loud bang. However, this move was not over yet. Xu Hai picked up a square piece of soil with force and flew it towards Zefa.
The clod of earth was as big as two or three houses!
Zefa frowned, not understanding the significance of Xu Hai using this move. The black color on his wrist gradually became thicker, and then flowed to his fist like ink: "Black Wrist·Impact!"
Bang! Zefa smashed the huge clod of earth into pieces, and mud and rocks flew everywhere.
"Let's get rid of that annoying ability user first!" Xu Hai had already left the spot, and smashed the crescent shovel horizontally towards Ai Yin.
"Ain! Lush~" Binz activated his ability at an unprecedented speed. Dozens of vines wrapped around Xu Hai's hands, feet and weapons. This was the maximum number of vines he could control at one time.
"Hmph, child 's trick." Xu Hai easily broke the vines and continued to sweep towards Ai Yin with the crescent shovel.
Faced with the sudden attack, Ain was a little flustered. She tried to comfort herself that it was just a sudden attack. If it were Altria, she would... Ain bit her lip and rushed forward, desperately holding down Xu Hai's arm with her hand: "Back off!"
Bang! As expected, Aiyin was knocked away, her body crashing into a house, then crashing out of the wall on the other side and into another house.
In this case, has the distance between me and Altria narrowed a little? This was Ain's last thought before she lost consciousness.
Xu Hai was somewhat surprised to encounter such a fierce girl. Ain's ability had no effect on him, or rather, the moment it did, it was counteracted by his domineering aura. He didn't want to be reduced to a child in a critical moment.
"Ain!!!" Binz's eyes were red, and the number of vines he controlled suddenly increased to nearly a hundred, sweeping towards Xu Hai like a swarm of snakes.
"It's so annoying." Xu Hai impatiently cut the vines and handed the crescent shovel towards Binz's neck.
Clang! A hand tightly grasped the blade of the crescent shovel, and a thin line of blood was cut on Zefa's palm. A few drops of blood dripped down, but the wound quickly disappeared.
"Teacher Zefa!" Binz tried to dodge, but because he stopped suddenly, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Go see Ain." Zefa lowered his head slightly, his eyes covered by shadows, and the blade of the crescent shovel was slightly deformed by his pinching.
"Yes!" Binz responded to the order without hesitation and ran quickly towards Ain.
"Oh? Are you angry? That's scary." Xu Hai was still provoking Zefa's nerves. Generally speaking, the angrier the enemy is, the better it is for him. After all, it's easy to lose your mind when you are angry. This way, there will be a turning point.
He pulled back the crescent shovel, but Zefa's hand didn't move at all. Xu Hai increased his strength: "This monster!"
"Don't do that in front of the teacher..." Zefa suddenly exerted force on his hands and dragged Xu Hai over. In front of Xu Hai's astonished eyes, he punched him in the face, "...hurt his students!"
"Woo..." Xu Hai's face, which was covered with flesh, was hit so hard that it was sunken. His head dragged his body backwards, flew over the shore, flew over the dock, and plunged into the side of the pirate ship. He passed through the deck and hit the mast.
The thick mainmast broke with a snap, and fell down with the sails and pirate flag. The pirate ship tilted to one side, and sea water poured in through the big hole in the bottom of the ship.
"Damn it..." Xu Hai's head was buzzing and he struggled for a long time before getting up. His tenacious vitality was definitely worthy of the title of the Eight Warriors under the Four Emperors.
Even the boat was damaged. There was no way out now. Whether they wanted to repair the boat or change boats to leave, they had to deal with Zefa here. Xu Hai's eyes became firm. He rubbed his chin and jumped off the boat. He walked towards Zefa step by step, his momentum gradually getting stronger with each step.
…
Meanwhile, the Amber Tour's process of dealing with the two pirate groups wasn't anything to write home about; it simply involved tracking, catching up, and then beating them. The only difference was who did the fighting.
The tasks of cleaning up the battlefield, recovering the pirate ships, and escorting the pirates were all thrown to the flag monsters by Zhang Da.
The part of the whole process that takes up the most time is actually the journey.
When they arrived at the Kingdom of Lulucia, what they saw was a destroyed dock, a pirate group with collapsed masts, a messy street, many dilapidated houses, the navy and pirates fighting fiercely, and... Zefa and Xu Hai who looked like they were fighting each other after ignoring their domineering power.
"The one fighting with Mr. Zefa is Xu Hai." Shark Chili recognized the man's identity.
Zhang Da also took a closer look: "Damn, Lu Zhishen?"
This bald man with a big beard, a crescent-shaped shovel, and ragged clothes looks just like the Flower Monk Lu Zhishen. I just don't know if he has any tattoos.
Zhang Da also shook his head: "Help first, then talk."
Everyone ran over, and Xu Hai was a little desperate. Zefa alone was already difficult to deal with, so why were there so many difficult people? Oh, I heard that the Amber Tour Group had been hanging out with the Navy recently. He remembered important information, but it seemed too late.
At this time, Zefa's face was covered with sweat and blood, and his purple suit was in tatters, but his bare arms were covered with a layer of black, extending to the collarbone. Combined with Zefa's strong physique, he looked very domineering.
"Don't interfere with my fight!" Zefa knocked Xu Hai down again with a punch, gasping for breath and said, "As a teacher, I also have... battles that I must complete on my own!"
"Huh..." Zefa's tone softened, "If possible, please take Wendy to see Ain and the others."
