"What a powerful physique!"
Esdeath had witnessed everything that just transpired.
Even a single punch from Zephyr, who was giving his all, felt like something Esdeath couldn't withstand, yet Weevil endured that dense barrage of attacks completely unharmed!
"Miss Esdeath, Teacher Zephyr will win, right?" Tashigi looked at the situation worriedly, feeling that it was not optimistic.
The people behind her were the same, all looking at her with hopeful eyes.
"Don't worry, he will definitely win!"
Although she didn't know the outcome, for now, she could only trust Zephyr.
She had already contacted Garp, hoping that the unreliable Garp could make it in time; if not, having the Yellow Monkey come would also work!
It should be known that while the strength of the two in front of them was not weak and they were world-class, both Zephyr and Weevil were, at most, only at the level of a quasi-Admiral.
Zephyr was due to age and injuries, while Weevil's intelligence was the main factor, as although a young Weevil was full of vigor, he lacked experience.
No wonder this world valued talent more; without talent, it was simply impossible to make any progress, but with just one type of talent, one could dominate an area!
"Damn it!"
Muttering lowly, Zephyr could only continuously dodge Weevil's attacks; his full-power strike just now had surprisingly caused no harm to Weevil.
He even wondered if he was truly getting old and the power of his punches had weakened!
After an intense battle for a full half an hour, Weevil still hadn't touched Zephyr once!
He could only take the hits, but the effect was not obvious; Weevil's physical quality was too strong, and he recovered too quickly!
"This is bad!"
Zephyr's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his consciousness wavered for a moment; this split-second distraction allowed Weevil to seize the opportunity.
"Got you!"
One arm was tightly clutched in Weevil's hand, and his other hand, holding the crescent blade, was about to strike down.
At this moment, Zephyr's body was unable to react; the high-intensity combat had caused his old injuries to flare up, and he could only watch helplessly!
"Ice Lance!"
An icy spear instantly pierced towards Weevil's eyes, forcing him to abandon Zephyr and use his Armed Color to protect himself in a blink.
Zephyr instantly broke free, took a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, only then recovering, then looked at Esdeath gratefully.
His arm was almost gone!
Splash, splash!
At this moment, it suddenly started raining in the sky, and the raindrops wet the deck.
"Heaven helps me!"
Esdeath smiled as she watched the continuous falling raindrops.
She had been waiting for this moment, just when she thought Zephyr might be defeated head-on by Weevil, Zephyr's body suddenly had an issue.
How could a former Admiral not be able to defeat Weevil!
An Ice Lance formed in her hand, and she threw it directly at Weevil's eyes without hesitation.
"Ah! I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"
The rage pouring from Weevil's eyes as he looked at Esdeath in the distance seemed capable of killing.
The opportunity he had so painstakingly found was destroyed just like that, then he turned his head, tears streaming down, and cried to Miss Buckin.
"Mama…"
"Shut up! Ignore Zephyr, kill these Marine soldiers first!"
She had figured it out; Weevil trying to kill Zephyr was not that easy, he might even be counter-killed.
Now, they could only target the students behind Zephyr!
Hearing this, the countless students turned pale; that was someone even Teacher Zephyr couldn't defeat, killing them would be like slaughtering chickens.
"What are you afraid of!"
Esdeath stood in front of everyone, reprimanded them, and then said, "No need to panic, I have already contacted Marineford, and reinforcements should be arriving soon."
"We just need to wait until the reinforcements arrive!"
This instantly gave them a boost of confidence.
Whoosh!
Before her words fell, countless raindrops were frozen in place, turning into ice cones, shooting directly towards Miss Buckin at the very back.
Weevil's figure quickly moved over; the countless ice cones striking Weevil's body were like tickles.
His six-meter tall body blocked all the ice cones with his own body.
"Teacher Zephyr, I'll provide support for you!"
Zephyr wouldn't agree, and Esdeath naturally wouldn't wait for Zephyr's approval before charging forward.
Seeing this, Zephyr could only follow; Esdeath was not yet qualified to join a high-level battle.
"Come back!"
"Ice Wheel Slide!"
The rainwater on the deck froze, extending all the way to Weevil's feet.
Even after half an hour, neither of them had actively tried to break the deck.
Even if Weevil was stupid, he knew that if the deck broke, he would fall into the sea, and then Zephyr would definitely win!
"Mama, it's ice!"
An angry Weevil took a step forward, and his feet began to slip, while Esdeath stood steadily on the ice.
"Well done!"
Zephyr rushed forward using Moonwalk; this was truly a great help!
It actually restricted Weevil's movements, making it more advantageous for himself.
Miss Buckin also realized the danger and immediately jumped onto Weevil's shoulder, beginning to give commands.
"Break the ice, continue attacking the Marine soldiers!"
"Dream on!"
Zephyr's muscles bulged, and most of his Armed Color condensed on his wrists!
Why was he known as Black Arm Zephyr!
Because he only attacked and never defended!
If not now, then when!
"Ice Lotus Flower!"
The water droplets in the air instantly turned into countless ice shards, smashing down onto the deck below.
Although they couldn't cause damage, they could harass the massive Weevil!
After spinning his crescent blade twice above his head, Weevil roared angrily.
"Mama, I'm angry!"
He stomped and shattered the ice, then the sheer force of his swinging created a gust of wind that shattered countless ice raindrops.
"Armed—Arm Beast!"
It was as if two fierce beasts appeared on Zephyr's arms; his Armed Color turned black and crimson, and he punched fiercely at the charging Weevil.
Boom!
Unlike the previous collision, this collision directly broke through the continuously falling raindrops in the sky, soaring straight into the heavens!
"Ah!"
That feeling, it was as if he had returned to his peak.
Punch after punch, he continuously collided with Weevil's crescent blade, feeling no pain whatsoever.
Until the crescent blade was knocked away by a punch, spinning several times before embedding itself in the deck.
Then, a punch landed on Weevil's stomach, sinking deeply into it, while Weevil's fist also struck Zephyr's face.
As for Miss Buckin, she clung tightly to Weevil's shoulder, not daring to move an inch, fearing that Zephyr's punch would kill her!
Bang, bang, bang!
"Go, Teacher Zephyr!"
"Go, Teacher Zephyr!"
Listening to the shouts of encouragement from the deck behind him, Zephyr's momentum increased even more, and for a time, he actually suppressed the physically superior Weevil in a head-on clash!
"I am Black Arm Zephyr!"
He punched away Weevil's fist, and a heavy punch, accompanied by a gust of wind, knocked Weevil onto the deck, making him spit out blood.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out; Miss Buckin had actually pulled out a flintlock and shot Zephyr in the chest!
