Chapter 41 Zephyr·Six Styles (3)

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, Gnar felt a drastic change in the Zephyr before him.

The ground beneath Zephyr's feet groaned, rapidly collapsing and cracking like a spider web as Zephyr suddenly took the initiative to attack Gnar.

In a flash, Zephyr appeared in front of Gnar.

Though the strike seemed ordinary, Zephyr chose the most straightforward fighting method, swinging his fist directly at Gnar. Gnar instinctively raised his arms to block.

A sense of unease rose in his heart.

In that moment, as time seemed to stand still, Gnar saw the corners of Zephyr's mouth lift slightly. Hot white steam emerged from Zephyr's fist, and he slowly uttered the name of his move.

"Six Styles: Overlord Chong!"

"What!"

In an instant, the fist didn't directly hit Gnar. Instead, a terrifying shockwave enveloped him!

Unlike a typical physical confrontation, Gnar felt every muscle and cell in his body being ruthlessly bombarded. Unable to resist, Gnar was sent flying like a cannonball, leaving a trail of white smoke in the air.

"It's just the beginning, kid. If you can't endure this, you're not qualified to master Haki!"

As he spoke, white steam emerged from Zephyr's feet, swirling around him like an enraged white lion.

"Six Styles: Moon Lion Step!"

"Call out!"

If Gnar had been able to see Zephyr's figure clearly during the previous attack, now he could only see Zephyr's afterimage. Wherever Zephyr stepped, the ground tore apart, creating a massive gap, like a ferocious lion on the attack.

Gnar knew he couldn't be hit by this blow.

Countless blood-colored arms extended from Gnar's back, burrowing into the ground to draw a long ravine. Using this power to stabilize himself, Gnar also transformed the blood-colored arms into giant fists, attacking Zephyr.

"Devil Fruit!"

Zephyr didn't dodge. The reason was simple: the fists struck Zephyr but couldn't penetrate his defense. Zephyr even had time to taunt.

"Kid, are you tickling me?!"

After those words, Zephyr's arms moved again.

"Overlord Chong!"

The powerful shockwave instantly obliterated all the blood fists before him.

The world once again fell into a violent roar.

However, the battle didn't continue. Gnar didn't choose to attack and stood his ground. Zephyr, grinning, asked as the white steam around him dissipated.

"What's going on? Kid, ready to admit defeat?"

"No…"

Gnar shook his head.

"In front of a Marine Admiral who controls Observation Haki, there's no way to surprise him. Therefore, my only way to win is a head-on fight."

"Oh, kid, I admit your physical strength is impressive since you withstood my Overlord Chong. But if you think you can go head-to-head with me, you're being too arrogant."

Gnar didn't deny it.

"If you don't try, how would you know?!"

With those words, Gnar clenched his fist tightly, took a deep breath, and his heart began to pound rapidly, making a loud bang. Blood vessels on his skin throbbed violently as if blood moved at high speed inside.

"Blood Feast!"

Zephyr, standing not far away, frowned. In his Observation Haki, the kid before him seemed to transform into a different person, a terrifying aura erupting from his body.

But that wasn't Zephyr's main concern.

Although his Observation Haki, as a Marine Admiral, didn't predict the future, it was still at the top level.

In truth, if Zephyr hadn't accidentally bullied the small, with his Observation Haki, Gnar wouldn't have been able to predict the future.

Meeting him would have been impossible.

Using Observation Haki to sense the biological breath, Zephyr felt a different breath from Gnar at that moment.

It felt as if the kid before him wasn't just human but also akin to a giant Sea King found only in the Calm Belt.

Zephyr was puzzled, but it didn't matter. If Gnar couldn't escape from his hands, all secrets would be buried in the deep sea prison with him. Zephyr said expectantly.

"Let's see if you can surprise me in this state!"

Feeling the power surging within him, Gnar also spoke with anticipation.

"Let's see how long I can last against a Marine Admiral!"

As soon as the words fell, the two figures disappeared simultaneously...

Meanwhile, during Gnar and Zephyr's fight, at the Nahana harbor.

Several Marines responsible for blocking Gnar's pirate ship suddenly ran over, looking as if they had seen a ghost. They rushed to Ain and shouted.

"No… That's not good, Captain Ain! Vampire Gnar's pirate ship escaped on its own!"

Ain, who was focused on the battle between her teacher and Gnar, thought she had misheard her colleagues' report.

"What are you talking about? Ran away on its own? Are you joking?"

"No… No, Captain Ain!"

The Marine recruits had frightened expressions.

"We were guarding it well, but the ship suddenly started moving by itself. When we checked, no one was on board, but the sails were raised, and the anchor was lifted... as if there was someone we couldn't see…"

"Captain, is there a ghost on Vampire Gnar's ship…"

"Yeah, this pirate is a vampire who sucks human blood…"

Ain was stunned. She didn't think the Marines were joking, but she didn't believe in ghosts either.

Unable to find an explanation, she asked.

"Where is the pirate ship now?"

The Marines looked embarrassed and fearful.

"It left the dock and entered the sea. We don't know where it went… We didn't dare stay on it…"

Ain frowned, guessing something, and a Marine reminded her.

"Captain Ain, could this be Vampire Gnar's escape plan? Should we inform Teacher Zephyr…"

Ain thought it was very likely. Otherwise, Nal wouldn't have dared to provoke her teacher.

Though hesitant, her Marine identity compelled her to stand up and speak to the Marine who had reminded her.

"Find a few people. Let's go to the battle site between the teacher and the pirate. The others, stay here…"

"Hey…"

Elsewhere on the Alabasta coast, Robin watched the approaching pirate ship. Glancing back at where Gnar and Zephyr fought, she jumped onto the ship, which then sailed into the sea, disappearing on the horizon...
