One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 243: The Navy Arrives!

"teacher!"

In the distance, a blue figure staggered towards them.

It's Ain.

Behind her were Binz, Zoro, Sanji, and Nami.

Ain knelt down beside Zefa.

She looked at the teacher in front of her.

"Teacher... how are you?"

Ain's voice was trembling so badly that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Zefa turned his head with difficulty.

He looked at his most beloved student, his lips twitching, forming a smile that was more painful than crying.

"Why are you crying..."

"Teacher... isn't dead yet."

Binz rushed up and knelt on the other side, his eyes bloodshot.

"Teacher, let's go back to the ship for treatment!"

Zefa shook his head.

He knows his own body best.

My life is slowly slipping away.

But he doesn't care.

Dying on the battlefield is the best end for a soldier.

Luffy and Ace stood to the side.

The two of them didn't speak, they just looked at each other.

Zoro sheathed his sword, glanced around, and his eye twitched.

"Hey, something's not right."

Zoro lowered his voice.

Sanji took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring.

"Ah, it's so quiet."

"I have a feeling... something powerful is coming."

The mountaintop.

Aokiji stood on the edge of the cliff, his eyes fixed on the ground below.

Looking at the teacher lying in a pool of blood, looking at Ein crying in pain.

"Is it over?"

Aokiji muttered to himself.

Chen Ye stood beside him, his golden cloak fluttering in the wind.

He had his hands in his pockets, his eyes completely calm.

"Finish?"

Chen Ye chuckled softly.

"No, Kuzan."

"The real show has only just begun."

Aokiji's body trembled, and he abruptly turned to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Ye did not answer.

He raised his chin, gesturing for Aokiji to look ahead.

"listen."

"Some interesting guys have arrived."

In the silence.

A sudden change occurred.

A sharp whistling sound came from above the clouds.

"What is that...?"

Usopp looked up in horror.

Before he could finish speaking, he was completely dumbfounded.

The gray sky suddenly brightened.

Countless golden specks of light suddenly appeared.

Densely packed.

Hundreds and thousands.

next second.

The light spot fell.

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Countless golden laser beams rained down from the sky like a storm.

Overwhelming.

The attack affected everyone.

It's not just Zefa and Ein.

Even the Straw Hat crew is within the scope of the attack.

A lazy, yet chilling voice fell along with the laser rain.

"The Eight-Span Curved Jewel~"

"Be careful!"

Ace reacted the fastest.

The moment the sense of crisis exploded, he had already made his move.

He stepped forward, blocking everyone's path.

Arms outstretched, flames rising.

"Inflammation is on the rise!"

boom!

A massive wall of flames rose from the ground.

Flames rolled and formed a circular defensive shield, protecting Luffy, Zephyr, and the others inside.

Zizizi!

The first wave of laser beams slammed into the wall of fire.

The collision of light and fire.

The explosions continued in succession.

"Tch, there are way too many!"

Ace gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, desperately maintaining the flames.

The laser rain was so dense that some beams penetrated the wall of fire, while others circled around from the side.

"Three-Sword Style: 108 Troublesome Phoenixes!"

Zoro drew Wado Ichimonji and unleashed three massive blue sword slashes.

The sword energy spiraled out, slicing through more than a dozen laser beams in mid-air.

"A rubber machine gun!"

Luffy's fists blurred into afterimages as he unleashed a furious barrage of attacks towards the sky.

Each punch precisely shattered a beam of light.

Sanji leaped into the air, his feet bursting into flames.

"Devil's Kick - The Finishing Touch!"

He kicked out a trail of flames in mid-air to intercept any fish that slipped through the net.

Binz and Ein also started fighting.

Binz spawned enormous vines that wove into a net.

Rumble!

Explosions erupted across the ice field.

The ice broke apart, and pebbles flew everywhere.

Smoke and dust billowed.

It lasted a full half minute.

The deadly golden rain of light finally stopped.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Everyone stopped exerting their strength and stared intently at the sky.

"Oh dear..."

That lazy voice rang out again.

Everyone looked up.

In mid-air, a golden light condensed into a human shape.

The person who has arrived is indeed him!

Marine Admiral Kizaru Borsalino.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked down on everyone with his height.

Behind him.

It was a densely packed naval force.

The Buster Call fleet led by the general.

"It's so lively here!"

Kizaru tilted his head and pouted.

"I never expected to meet so many important people."

His gaze swept downwards.

"Roger's son, Fire Fist Ace."

"Mr. Garp's grandson, Straw Hat Luffy."

"Zoro, the Pirate Hunter"

"besides……"

Kizaru's gaze finally settled on the old man lying on the ground.

No one can see the look in his eyes behind the sunglasses.

"The seriously injured... Professor Zephyr."

Zefa's body trembled.

A difficult effort to look up.

Looking at my former students.

Borsalino, who always relied on his Devil Fruit powers and whom he had scolded countless times.

"Borusalino..."

Zefa spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Will you come and see me off too?"

Kizaru shrugged.

"There's nothing I can do, Professor Zephyr."

"You've gone too far this time."

"Destroying the world is a really troublesome thing~"

"Those old men up there and that Akainu guy were terrified and insisted that I handle it."

At this point, Kizaru paused.

A row of naval officers and soldiers stepped out from behind him.

Ghost Spider, Doberman, Storoberry, Burning Mountain...

All of them were lieutenant generals from headquarters.

They were all Zefa's students.

They looked at their beloved teacher.

Each person's expression was quite intriguing.

That was their teacher.

He was the head instructor who taught them to be assertive and to uphold justice.

Now, they must take matters into their own hands and deal with their mentors.

They were unable to make a move.

"Want to fight? Come on!"

Luffy roared, breaking the eerie atmosphere.

He pulled his straw hat down low and struck a pose.

Ace's flames reignited, and he stood beside Luffy.

"Looks like we can't leave without a fight."

Zoro drew his three swords again and bit them down on Wado Ichimonji.

"A general...perfect for testing the sword."

The Straw Hat crew and Ace showed no sign of backing down in the face of the Admiral and the entire Navy fleet.

High morale.

"stop!"

A sharp shout rang out.

Everyone was taken aback.

Zefa, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to his feet.

The light in his eyes was brighter than ever before.

"Garp's grandson, Roger's son..."

Zephyr looked at Luffy and Ace, his tone gentler than ever before.

"You did a great job."

"You've shown me... a different kind of pirate."

"A Different Future"

Luffy frowned as he looked at him.

"Uncle?"

"This is not your final destination."

"Go."

Go chase your dreams.

"Let's stir up this ocean and turn it upside down!"

After saying that, Zefa suddenly turned around.

He grabbed Ein's shoulder and pushed her toward Luffy.

"Ain! You go too!"

Ain staggered a few steps and turned back in disbelief.

"Teacher?! What are you saying? I'm not leaving! I want to stay with you!"

"That's an order!"

Zephyr roared.

This was the first time he had ever gotten so angry at Ein.

"Take Binz and go with them!"

"Survive!"

"Let's live on, even my share!"

"teacher……"

Ain was in tears and shook his head desperately.

Zefa stopped looking at her.

He turned around and faced Kizaru alone, facing the vast fleet.

Facing the navy to which he had dedicated his life.

"call……"

Zefa exhaled a breath of stale air.

His eyes were incredibly firm at that moment.

That was a resolute decision to face death.

hum!

A dark aura erupted from his body.

Armament Haki!

A dark, domineering aura quickly covered his arms.

A powerful aura surged into the sky!

Even Kizaru narrowed his eyes.

On the mountaintop.

Aokiji watched this scene unfold!

"The former 'Black Arm' Zeff..."

"I'm back."

The head instructor who conquered the sea with just his two black wrists.

In the last moments of his life.

He regained his lost glory.

Zefa stood before the crowd.

He had his back to Luffy and Ace.

His voice was steady and powerful.

"Take Ain and Binz away quickly, you two."

Please!

This was his final request.

Luffy watched Zephyr's retreating figure.

He knew what the old man wanted to do.

Ace grabbed Ein, who was about to rush forward, and said in a deep voice, "Go! Don't let him die in vain!"

Zefa did not turn around.

He raised his dark, imposing iron fist and pointed it at Kizaru.

A wild, arrogant smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Borsalino!"

"Do you want to go there?"

"Then step over my corpse first!"

boom!

Zefa pushed off the ground with both legs, and the ice beneath his feet shattered.

His battered body unleashed astonishing speed.

Like a black cannonball, it charged headlong into the navy without hesitation.

This was his last battle.

To put a period to my life.

Kizaru sighed as he watched Zephyr charge towards him.

"How stubborn you are, Professor Zephyr."

"Since you're in such a hurry to die..."

Kizaru raised his finger, and light gathered at the tip.

"Then I'll see you off."

call out!

A blinding laser beam shot straight at Zefa's vitals.

Zefa neither dodged nor avoided.

He swung his black wrist and slammed it hard at Laser.

boom!

The laser was blasted apart by a single punch.

Zephyr rushed through the flames of the explosion to Kizaru.

The wind howled from the punch.

Go forward.

This is the real Black Arm Zephyr!
