Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Inside the cave, there were potholes everywhere.
The two figures fought each other.
Zephyra shook off the robotic arm and threw Hernando away. Her figure flashed and she threw a domineering punch at the other party, but Hernando ducked and dodged it. The punch hit the rock wall and created a pit.
Hernando flew up and poked Zephyr's abdomen with the tip of his foot, and a flying slash passed through Zephyr's abdomen and hit the top of the hole, creating a gully and shaking the gravel.
Zephyra groaned as her mechanical arm slammed down and the huge mechanical arm pressed down on Hernando's body.
With a loud thud, Hernando was smashed into the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hernando used his hands wrapped in Armament Haki to forcefully open the robotic arm. Just as he opened it a little, Zephyra held Hernando's head with the robotic arm and hit his abdomen with her other hand, causing the entire fist to cave in.
One punch sent Hernando flying and he hit the rock wall, sinking deep.
"Hu, hu…"
After Zefa finished this punch, he covered his abdomen with his hand. Blood flowed out of his abdomen, where he had just been hit by the Mist Kick. The taste was not so good.
Crack!
Hernando struggled to open his eyes from the rock wall. His swollen eyes stared straight at Zephyr and he was also panting.
He was in an even worse state. There was not a single good place on his body, and he was covered in scars and gashes.
"How can you fix it? Seastone's arm is really annoying. It's quite effective against an ability user like me. Zephyr, this is all you can do!" Hernando said angrily.
"To be able to capture pirates, any means is possible, Hernando, I have taught you this." Zephyr gasped.
Hernando is not weak. He can use the highest level of Armament Haki and is also a strong person in the sea. If he is always a Marine, he will probably be an elite Vice-Admiral like Dalmatian.
When it comes to fighting, there is no end to it.
"What kind of means? Including killing people? Zephyr, even if I lose, you won't kill me!"
Hernando snapped, "If you can't kill me, you can never win. So far, I have destroyed more than a dozen towns, including two Marine bases, where I killed all the people."
"As long as I don't die, the pirates of the Alliance will follow my orders and continue to destroy the world. After the West Sea, the North Sea, the South Sea, the East Sea, the Grand Line, and finally the New World! This is my revenge on the world, my revenge on you!"
Hernando almost roared. The intense anger made his golden hair stand on end. The hatred in his eyes made Zephyra feel cold.
"Hernando…"
Zephyra shed tears. "Have you become like this?"
"Yes, if you don't kill me, Zephyra, this is your last chance. I can't beat you, but I won't let you win so easily. Hugh's 'Reflection Fruit' ability also projected coordinates on several other islands. You can't find me!"
He thought of something and fumbled in his pocket, taking out a yellowed and old Life Paper.
Rip!
The Life Paper was torn into pieces and scattered everywhere.
"It's my Life Paper that you can find me now. You still have it… but now, you don't have a chance!"
Hernando sneered. "Zefa, my most respected teacher, you have completely failed. You are a failed, useless Marine who can only be merciful to the enemy!"
"Hernando!!"
Zephyra shouted, "Why, why do you have to do this!"
"There is no turning back, Zephyra!"
Hernando roared and then repeated softly, "Nothing can be undone…"
Zephyra's pupils almost shrank to a point as she walked towards Hernando with heavy steps, each step heavier than the previous one, leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Every step seemed to be a decision.
"Hernando, Hernando…"
Zephyra shouted in a low voice as tears fell from his eyes. A black airflow appeared on his fist and swept towards half of his arm.
"For the safety of civilians, for the honor of Marines, for justice… Some things cannot be tainted. Don't blame me, Hernando."
Zephyra raised her head, her eyes filled with determination.
Hernando took a deep breath and straightened his body. He raised his fists and a black airflow appeared on his fists.
"Come on, Zephyr, this is my last Haki!"
"Hernando!!!"
Zephyra roared and punched out. The airflow rolled out, causing the cave to shake.
"Zefa!!!"
Hernando also roared and punched out with both fists, wanting to fight against Zephyr. However, just as his fists were about to collide, his domineering aura suddenly dissipated.
This dissipation caused shock to appear on Hernando's face.
At this time, Zephyr's fist was almost a centimeter away from his face.
There was a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes.
This is the blow, Teacher Zephyr!
I wish you… martial arts prosperity!
"Can't fix it, I… I don't have any strength?!" He closed his eyes unwillingly.
However, the expected pain and death did not befall him. The fist that should have hit him seemed to have stopped.
"Zefa!!!"
Hernando said angrily, "Do you still have your compassion now, you coward who has lost his family…"
He did not say the last word. When he opened his eyes, he could no longer see Zephyra.
Only a huge round stone flew out quickly. The familiar fist broke through the stone and was sent flying.
Just a little bit more, the last bit!
He took that opportunity to dissipate his Armament Haki. That way, even if Zephyr didn't want to kill him, he would take the initiative to die.
At that time, Zephyra's idea of killing someone will not be different, and she will be able to give up the useless 'don't kill' principle according to his idea. That way, she will be a really powerful Marine in the future!
Zephyra, who kills people, is terrifying.
However, this was destroyed!
"Who, who ruined this scene!" Hernando roared in anger.
Tap, tap, tap…
Footsteps gradually sounded outside the cave.
First, a black light shone in from the hole. Next to the black light were footsteps.
As he approached, Hernando saw that the black light was a blade. The blade of the black blade was stained with blood and fell to the ground with each step.
Kuro bit his cigar and held Autumn Water as he walked into the cave.
"Luciru Kuro!"
Hernando's bloodshot eyes wandered in his pupils. "It's you again, you're in the way again!"
Kuro stared at him for a long time and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. White mist curled up and covered his expressionless face.
"I say… to force an old man who only wants to deal with pirates for the rest of his life to change his will and beliefs, don't you think that you have done too much?"
"If you have a grudge, then take revenge. If you have a grudge, then take revenge. You have to rely on yourself to have hope in everything. You put your hope on an old man whose condition has declined to this extent, and you still have the cheek to say that? What's the difference between you and those families who want to support themselves?"
As the smoke dissipated, Kuro held his head high and swung forward with Autumn Water in his hand. Blood was thrown out smoothly from the blade and gathered into a thick ball on the ground.
"I'm… very unhappy with you!"
