Byakuya, having obtained Zephyr's Vivre Card, used its ability to guide him toward Zephyr's location, moving at full speed without any hesitation. 

Byakuya finally spotted Zephyr's ship in the distance. He also noticed Weevil engaged in battle with Zephyr. 

Although Zephyr was in a tough spot, he still held his ground, and the situation hadn't reached its worst.

The battle hadn't lasted long, but Zephyr's asthma attack made him appear more fatigued. 

Seeing that Zephyr was unharmed, Byakuya felt relieved and teased, "Zephyr-sensei, you are old!"

Ain, who had been anxiously watching, heard the voice and looked up to the sky, her delicate face lighting up joyfully.

"It's Byakuya-senpai!" she exclaimed. "Byakuya-senpai, please help Zephyr-sensei!"

Byakuya smiled, "Don't worry, I'll step in when the time is right."

Hearing Byakuya's voice, Zephyr's tension eased. "You brat, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I'm worried that if I didn't come, I might never see you again, Zephyr-sensei," Byakuya replied with a teasing grin but in his heart what he said sincerely. 

Zephyr's frustration flared, wishing he could punch Byakuya. But with Byakuya present, Zephyr felt more at ease. 

He no longer had to hold back, fearing that a failed all-out attack would leave him defenceless.

With a cold snort, Zephyr said, "Hmph, do you think your sensei became a Marine Admiral for nothing? Watch closely!"

Zephyr's demeanour changed drastically, making him appear twenty years younger. His upper body was completely covered in black Armament Haki. 

Instead of dodging Weevil's attack, Zephyr met it head-on with his shoulder. 

The immense force caused the ship's bow to dip sharply, eliciting gasps from the onlookers. 

Seizing the moment, Zephyr grabbed Weevil's sword and yanked him forward.

With a light exhale, Zephyr shouted, "Flame Smash!" 

Concentrating his Armament Haki from his fists to his wrists, the blackened area seemed like a black hole, swallowing all light. 

This was Zephyr's most powerful move. His fists moved so fast they left afterimages, repeatedly striking Weevil's chest. 

The friction from his fists created sparks, which quickly turned into scorching flames, burning Weevil's chest.

The air was filled with the smell of charred flesh. Each punch left a deep imprint on Weevil's chest. 

In less than ten seconds, his chest was severely caved in, blood continuously trickling from his mouth. He looked utterly devastated. 

The rapid assault left Weevil with no time to react. With the final punch, Weevil was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. 

He crashed down with a heart-wrenching scream, landing on Miss Buckin who was being slammed to death

Zephyr struggled to control his breathing, ignoring his nearly strained old back, and walked over to Byakuya. 

Seeing Byakuya's stunned expression, Zephyr proudly said, "Did you see that? This is your master's true strength!"

Byakuya, still processing the scene, stammered, 'That... that looked like a combination of Fire Fist and Garp Iron Fist! No, it should be like Luffy Red Hawk or Red Roc.'

Zephyr, his face darkening, gave Byakuya a light smack. "That's my special move, 'Flame Smash.' So, do you want to learn it?"

Byakuya's lips twitched. He thought, 'What's the point? I can kill someone with one punch.' 

But to respect Zephyr's pride, Byakuya feigned admiration. "Master, your technique is amazing, but I'm not sure I can learn it."

Zephyr, feeling satisfied with Byakuya's flattery, patted his shoulder. 

"Haha, you may be a bit slow, but with my guidance, you'll surely learn it. Trust in your master!"

Byakuya, seeing Zephyr's smug look, rolled his eyes internally. 'Sure, keep praising yourself.' 

Ain and the other trainees, having seen Zephyr defeat the enemy, gathered around, their voices filled with admiration.

"Zephyr-sensei, you're incredibly strong!"

"Yes! That move was awesome. I want to learn it!"

With the trainees' adulation, Zephyr's smile grew wider, and his pain seemed to lessen. 

Just as everyone was celebrating, Weevil, who seemed lifeless, stood up again, crying, "Mama! Mama!"

"Mama, what's wrong?" Miss Buckin was undoubtedly dead. Weevil, treating her like a paper figure, held her and sobbed. 

Given Weevil's enormous weight, even a robust adult would be crushed, let alone a seventy-year-old woman.

Zephyr's expression was no longer relaxed. What kind of monster was this? 

Even after taking his full-strength Flame Smash, Weevil could still stand, seemingly with some fight left in him. 

Zephyr himself could barely move, meaning that if Byakuya hadn't arrived, the entire ship's crew might have perished at the hands of that simpleton. 

Weevil's eyes were blood-red, blood still dripping from his mouth, and his chest was caved in, with an unknown number of broken ribs. 

Yet, despite this, Weevil still had the strength to fight. He roared, "You killed my mama! I will avenge her!"

Seeing this, Ain and the others looked at Zephyr, clearly expecting him to finish Weevil off. 

But Zephyr knew his condition too well; he could hardly move, let alone fight. 

Maintaining a composed expression, he said dismissively, "This guy is already heavily injured. There's not much strength left in him." 

"If I were to take him on again, it would feel like bullying."

"Luckily, Byakuya is here. Let him handle it, and you can witness his strength." 

Ain and the others believed Zephyr's words without question and shifted their gaze to Byakuya. 

Zephyr breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, 'That was close. I almost embarrassed myself in front of the trainees.'

Byakuya looked at Zephyr, whose chest was heaving like a bellows and who was holding his waist to stand straight. 

Internally, he scoffed, 'You still have the nerve to say you don't want to bully the weak.'

Byakuya hadn't realized that ever since he became Zephyr's disciple, Zephyr had gradually become this way.
