Chapter 57: Zephyr

"Zephyr? The Black Arm Zephyr who taught the three Admirals and numerous Vice Admirals of the Navy?"

Akira's eyes widened as he read the name and information about Zephyr in the message. The value of 12,000 that was assigned to him almost made Akira scream with joy.

Akira looked towards his inventory, where a golden recruitment order was located.

"Use the designated recruitment order!"

He held his breath and whispered something under his breath.

["Ding! Use the designated recruitment order to recruit the Marine General 'Black Arm' Zephyr!"]

["Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rank of Admiral of the Naval Headquarters, unlocking a special building: the Marine Academy."]

The next moment, the system voice sounded in Akira's mind, and the original gray icon of the Marine Academy in the special buildings column suddenly lit up.

After a while, Zephyr arrived from the distance and approached Akira.

"I have seen Your Highness."

Zephyr knelt on one knee, and his arm was still present, as it was when he was the Chief Instructor at the Naval Headquarters. "Black Arm" Zephyr, the name derived from his invincible fists.

Looking at Zephyr's back, Robb Lucci, Kaku, and the others looked solemn, and his breath left them breathless. They couldn't imagine what kind of strength this sixty-year-old man had in front of them.

"Chief Instructor Zephyr, please rise, I wonder if you would like to serve as Chief Instructor of my Marine Academy."

Akira seemed surprised and quickly helped Zephyr up from the ground, then asked with a sigh:

"Everything is subject to your arrangements, Your Highness."

Zephyr had a serious face and a deep voice at that moment. He was absolutely meticulous with the tasks that Akira had given him, just like the dean of the teaching area that Akira used to watch at the gate of the teaching area every day when he was in school.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, during which Chiba Hai also made several phone calls, all of which were praise and compliments for Akira.

The storm that inexplicably appeared from Cardan Island swept all the way, and the battle fleet that came to attack Cardan Island was severely damaged. Almost one-third of the battleships were destroyed in this battle, and others were injured.

The warships that came to attack Cardan Island couldn't even board it. The commander-in-chief of the attack, Yagu Yuchan, committed suicide out of fear of crime, and his entire family was exiled from the Water Country.

The news spread quickly, and for a while, countless people were terrified, especially in the other country, the Star Country, which was connected to Cardan Island. They quickly hired ninjas to increase their own national strength.

"Sir Crocodile, are you here? Has Your Highness come again?"

As soon as Kitano and Vergo returned to Cardan Island, they couldn't wait to find Akira's figure, and found Crocodile's figure in the jungle that was completely deserted by his attack.

Kitano wasn't too surprised why the lush forest suddenly turned into sand. When they were on the warship, they noticed it on the sea, and after reflecting with Vergo, they determined that it was definitely Crocodile's doing.

Crocodile crossed his arms and leaned against a sand pillar, looking satisfied at the sea of sand he had created. When Kitano asked him a question, he pointed to the center of the sea of sand and smiled.

As Kitano looked in the direction indicated by Crocodile, he saw Akira jumping from the air and striking the sand underneath him.

"King's Fist!"

"Buzz!"

"Boom!"

The sand outside of Cardan Island buzzed and a gust of wind blew, followed by the sound of an explosion. A wave of air came out of the sea of sand, immediately covering the entire Cardan Island.

"What's going on?!"

In the city of Haijia, they too were engulfed in the golden sand for the first time. Every grain of sand hit their bodies with a piercing pain. People screamed and hid in their rooms, looking out of the windows. The sand hit the windows with a long, tingling sound.

The power of the explosion was much greater than that. The sand and dust seemed to have condensed into a substance, and shock waves in the form of a ring continued to crush all the rocks around the sea of sand. The remaining power did not diminish and rushed directly into the sea.

After the impact fell on the sea, the surface of the sea, which was originally calm, immediately compressed. When the impact passed from the sea, the compressed seawater immediately rushed out of the sea, forming huge waves tens of meters high. As if chasing the impact, a water wave in the shape of an arc was formed with Cardan Island as the center, closely following the shock.

"Gudong! Your Highness, Your Highness has become stronger again."

Seeing the terrifying power brought by a single blow, Kitano's originally excited face became a little bitter. He did not expect that after just three days of absence, Akira's strike had already reached such a powerful force.

"Not good!"

Seeing that part of the ring shock wave was rushing towards the city of Haijia, Crocodile, who was in the distance, suddenly changed his expression and immediately squatted down. His hands were inserted into the sand and a huge sand wall quickly rose, blocking the impact wave ahead.

"Boom!"

The shock wave hit the sand wall, but it did not immediately penetrate or completely block it. The shockwave contained an indescribable power and was constantly pressed inside the sand wall. Despite the shaking upon impact, the sand wall was tens of meters thick and 100 meters high.

Immediately after, the sand wall that Crocodile had urgently gathered burst and the impact was blocked by the sand wall.

Crocodile looked around, which was completely enveloped in dust, and waved his hand. The dust seemed to obey him and dissipated quickly. Akira appeared in the middle of the dust.
