151. Zephyr's Problem

"Is this all the strength you have now?!"

The burly old man with short purple hair and sunglasses yelled at Ron.

The sound was as hard and deep as steel.

The force of his downward slam suddenly increased.

The wooden deck beneath Ron's feet suddenly shattered and cracked, and his feet sank into it.

The air between the two of them creaked under the weight of the wooden planks beneath their feet.

Feeling the incredible force emanating from the crusher, Ron said helplessly, "Don't damage my boat."

"Then you'd better take this punch!"

The giant crusher on the old man's arm opened at the rear and suddenly spewed out, the powerful reaction force causing the force of the crusher crashing down to surge again.

Ron instantly activated Level 4 Power Intent, with blood-red steam emanating from his right arm alone. Rolling heat waves enveloped his jet-black fist, hardened by Armament Haki, and the power in his fist also surged dramatically.

boom!

The ship shook violently, and billowing waves of air spread outwards from the two of them. Robin and the others had to hold on to the railings to keep their balance. Tables on the deck were blown away, and even some trees showed signs of being uprooted and blown away.

The wind dispersed.

Ron, his black hair flying wildly, blocked the attack with his fist against the front of the huge, menacing crusher. No matter how the giant crusher sprayed, it could not advance an inch further!

Looking at this scene, a look of shock and emotion flashed in the eyes of the burly old man with short purple hair behind his sunglasses.

"Has that boy from back then grown up to this extent...?"

I really am getting old...

He slowly put away the giant shredder made of seastone, took off his sunglasses with his intact left hand, stared at Ron in front of him, and said, "Long time no see, kid."

With his eyes closed, Ron nodded and smiled at him, "Yes, it has been a long time indeed, about seven years, Mr. Zephyr."

Upon hearing his words, Robin's eyes widened suddenly: "Zeff... could it be that Black Arm Zeff?!"

"That former admiral?!"

"Huh?! A Marine Admiral?!"

Connie and Bonnie were both shocked to hear this. Cold sweat dripped down Seven's forehead, and she involuntarily assumed a fist-fighting stance. Kuina also stared intently at Zephyr with a solemn expression, her hand resting on the hilt of her knife.

Zefa glanced at them, and when he saw Xiaoqi, a look of surprise and astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Is this the legendary kung fu dugong on your ship that can speak human language and knows both types of Haki and martial arts?"

Xiao Qi was taken aback when she heard this.

This former admiral actually knows me?!

"Its name is Xiao Qi, and it's my disciple."

Ron laughed.

"To actually take a manatee as a disciple, you really do something extraordinary."

Zefa looked at him and sighed.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed.

A powerful aura suddenly emanated from him, creating a strong sense of oppression that weighed on everyone's shoulders.

"Kid, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"I'm not blind, I'm just practicing Observation Haki."

Ron smiled at him with his eyes closed.

Zephyr was taken aback at first, then observed carefully and found that Ron was indeed surrounded by Observation Haki.

He grinned, and the oppressive feeling vanished instantly.

"To train Observation Haki in this way? Haha, only you could come up with such a thing."

"How effective is this method of cultivation?"

Ron hadn't had a chance to answer him yet.

A woman's voice came from ahead.

"teacher!"

A ship slowly approached.

Robin, Kuina, and Conis looked over and could see a young, beautiful woman with sea-blue curly hair standing on the deck of the ship. She was wearing a black cloak, with a gun and a sword at her waist.

"That voice... is it Ain?"

Ron turned his head in that direction.

Ain, who was on the deck of the ship, also saw him standing in front of Zephyr, and her bright eyes widened slightly.

“Luo… En”.

…………

After the two ships approached each other.

Ain leaped onto the ship.

"Ron!"

Under the strange looks of Kuina, Robin, and the others, Ain, her face full of surprise, ignored them and walked straight to Ron.

"Ain...it's been a long time."

Ron, with his eyes closed, smiled at her as she approached.

"Yes, it's been a long time! You've grown so tall..."

Just as Ai Yin was about to say something, she noticed his tightly closed eyes and her expression immediately froze: "Your eyes...?"

"fine."

As Ron spoke, he turned to Connie and said, "Connie, could you make something to eat? We have guests today."

"I see."

“Then Bonnie and I will go help too.” Robin said, pulling Bonnie, who was leaning against the side with her arms crossed, and followed Connie toward the kitchen.

"I'll go get the wine."

Kuina headed towards the warehouse.

"I'll go as well."

Xiao Qi went with her.

Only Ron, Zephyr, and Ain remained on the deck, along with the cloud fox Sisi who was sleeping nearby.

"This ship hasn't had any guests in a long time; it looks like it's going to be lively today."

As Connie entered the kitchen, she tied on her apron and smiled.

"Guest? That's a former admiral of the Navy, the one known as the admiral who doesn't kill, Black Arm Zephyr. Even I've heard of him."

Bonnie's tone was tinged with shock and emotion, "I never imagined he would seem to have such a good relationship with our captain."

As Robin helped Connie tie the straps on her back, she said, "We probably met when Ron was a special recruit intern in the Navy."

"But that was in the past. Now, the captain and we are criminals wanted by the World Government. Since he was a former Marine Admiral, who knows if he might turn against us? Shouldn't we be more cautious?"

Bonnie asked Robin.

"Well... well, it all depends on what the captain thinks."

…………

on the deck.

Ron invited Zephyr and Ain to sit down at the table.

Kuina and Xiaoqi brought the wine, placed it on the table, and left without disturbing them.

"Not only you, Mr. Zephyr, but Ain and Binz, you have also left the Navy?"

Ron was also somewhat surprised when he heard the news.

Ain smiled and nodded: "We have now formed a pirate guerrilla team with Professor Zephyr to fight pirates."

"Is that so?"

Ron picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.

The three of them remained silent for a moment, perhaps because they had nothing to say.

A few seconds passed.

Zefa broke the silence with his words.
