"Retreat!"
Ain let out a soft cry, her Devil Fruit ability clearly pushed to its limit.
In this instant, she had clearly entered her zone.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, she charged towards the attacking pirates.
This sudden turn of events threw the five pirate crews into disarray.
In their eyes, they never expected a new recruit to possess the skills of a seasoned veteran.
Moreover, with the heaven-defying ability of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit, in the face of this human wave tactic,
it was as if with a wave of her hand, a large group of people were regressed by ten years.
Facing the sudden change in their bodies, even these pirates who lived by the sword found themselves unable to organize an effective attack for the moment.
"Good, I was right about Laxus. With this kind of skill, Ain can definitely buy us some time," Zephyr said with great joy.
"Binz, quickly organize a defense line and go to Ain's aid!"
In Zephyr's eyes, as long as momentum was built, it wouldn't be difficult to create a stalemate with the pirates.
"You, quickly stop that old man Zephyr! My son will go and slaughter these new recruits!" Baccarat suddenly shouted.
Zephyr's and Ain's expressions, who were surrounded by pirates, changed drastically.
Before Zephyr could react, the three pirates with bounties over 100 million rushed towards Zephyr.
Facing Ain's strange ability and the one-sided situation, they were also eager to find a turning point.
Baccarat's suggestion was undoubtedly the best option.
"Mom, I know!" Weevil sniffled, and with a flicker of his body, he launched his attack first.
Like a phantom, he bypassed Zephyr and appeared before Shuzo.
Without any fancy moves, the naginata in his hand, glinting with Armament Haki, slashed directly downwards.
"No!"
Ain's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but shout urgently.
Even Zephyr's nerves were instantly tensed.
Unfortunately, facing the three pirates with bounties over 100 million blocking his path, Zephyr had no way to free his hands to provide support for the moment.
Bang!
The sharp blade energy instantly struck Shuzo.
The resulting shockwave rolled back like a hurricane.
Amidst the flying debris from the deck and the bursting wind energy, large groups of Navy new recruits were directly blown away.
Instantly, with blood splattering, even large pieces of limbs were scattered on the ground.
The power of a single strike even shattered half of the warship's deck.
With a fierce and unparalleled slash, the resulting wind blade energy rapidly shot outwards.
Finally, hundreds of meters away on the sea, a large wave was directly created.
"Ahhh, my legs!"
"Teacher Zephyr, I... I don't want to die!"
"Why... why do I only have half a body!"
"Help, help! Teacher Zephyr, save us quickly!"
Cries of agony rang out one after another.
And looking at the chaotic battlefield, the dismembered limbs and remains.
And even more unfortunately, the shattered corpses scattered on the ground.
Those familiar faces, with wide, unseeing eyes.
At this moment, they formed a symphony of despair.
"Mom, they've gotten my clothes dirty." Weevil, standing in the splattered blood, looked down at his stained clothes with an unhappy expression.
"Heh heh, my precious son, have you forgotten what I told you? Whoever makes you unhappy, you make them die. This is a world of the strong preying on the weak. Your father did the same thing back then." Baccarat said with a smile, her face like old tree bark.
Weevil paused, then looked up and smiled, "Mom said that if I kill you all, Dad will like me."
"Then all of you, go to hell!"
The giant naginata spun upwards.
As the violent air current swirled, it descended with the force of ten thousand horses.
"Get out of my way!"
Zephyr roared hysterically.
At this moment, his Armament Haki was pushed to its limit, and he charged towards the pirates blocking his path like a wild bull.
Boom!
With a powerful blow, the pirates blocking his way were instantly sent flying backward.
Taking advantage of this slight opening, Zephyr's Soru erupted to its maximum.
Without any fancy moves, he vanished from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already dozens of meters away, intercepting Weevil's descending attack.
"Mom, he fell for it! Your trick for deceiving people is really useful!" Weevil said in a slow, drawn-out tone.
His hands, which had been gripping the naginata, tensed instantly.
The downward slashing momentum suddenly increased severalfold.
At this moment, Zephyr felt as if the air itself was being torn apart.
Bang!
A dull collision sound echoed.
With arcs of Haki electricity shooting out, blood splattered.
No!
It should be said that an arm, in full view of everyone, flew out.
"Teacher Zephyr!"
Ain's pupils contracted, and she roared hysterically.
Without time to think, she abandoned the pirates in front of her and lunged towards Zephyr.
In the previous collision, Zephyr had clearly been distracted by his concern for his students.
This reminded Ain of a fatal flaw that Laxus had once mentioned.
Partial Armament Haki, compared to full-body Armament Haki's defense, was more suitable for head-on clashes.
Currently, Zephyr, clearly anxious to save someone, had underestimated Weevil's powerful Armament Haki.
In this equally matched collision, he had made this fatal mistake.
Zephyr, who already had both arms, was old, and suffering from injuries.
Facing Weevil head-on, he was already at a disadvantage.
Let alone now that he had lost an arm.
This was a death sentence for Zephyr.
Most importantly, they had never expected that this "incompetent" Weevil would resort to trickery.
"Haha, little girl, you don't have time to meddle now. Why don't you obediently think about how to escape from our hands alive!"
A shout suddenly rang out.
The seven-to-eight-meter-tall Fish-Man giant, who had been lurking on the side, was the first to attack.
Although he was merely a hybrid giant, his lifespan was still much longer than that of ordinary people.
Even facing this peculiar Rewind ability, the damage to his strength would be minimal.
Now, Ain was clearly overwhelmed by anger, which was an excellent opportunity.
"Ain, be careful!"
Binz crawled out from the ruins and urgently reminded her.
Now that Zephyr was heavily injured, if Ain were also successfully ambushed by the giant club, then they would be facing certain death.
However, as soon as this thought arose, an inexplicable aura swept through the entire scene like a tidal wave.
Before anyone could react, the Fish-Man giant, who had suddenly appeared in mid-air and was pursuing Ain, seemed to be struck by a petrification spell.
