The morning sun was not dazzling, and the rolling waves hit the coast tirelessly over and over again. On a large rock on the shore, Atlas was sitting quietly with his upper body naked, looking at it with blank eyes. Far away, what he was thinking about was the recent practice.
Atlas had been practicing the Rokushiki for some time. Although his proficiency in the Rokushiki had been very high, he had recently encountered a bottleneck. Although he had proficiency, his understanding of the Rokushiki was too shallow, and he had never been able to develop the extension of the Rokushiki.
"What? The practice of Rokushiki has encountered a bottleneck?" Zephyr's office was not very luxurious, and it was even a bit too simple. There was a plaque with the words 'Justice Without Killing' hanging on the front wall, and an old sofa next to it. Shuzo was sat on the sofa calmly, with a thoughtful look on his rough face, as if he was worrying about the training camp.
Atlas was sitting across from Zephyr's desk, quietly waiting for Zephyr's answer.
"Well~ That's it. You have to fight with me first and let me see your current level." Zephyr pondered for a while, and then came up with the idea of fighting Atlas. After all, the situation of Atlas's Rokushiki can be seen most intuitively in actual combat.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Mr. Zephyr." Naturally, Atlas would not refuse such an opportunity. Having such a top expert as a sparring coach is definitely something that many people dream of.
Shuzo on the side also showed interest when he saw this situation. He himself was very curious about the progress of Atlas's strength. A few months ago, he really couldn't win against Atlas without using haki. Atlas's monster-like physique and strength left a deep impression on him!
"Teacher Zephyr, be careful!" Atlas couldn't help but remind them after the two of them stood still on the playground.
"Hahahaha, you brat, attack me with all your strength!" Zephyr laughed loudly, throwing the cloak of justice behind his back to Shuzo aside, showing off his strong muscles.
Soru! Tekkai Kami no Chikara (Divine Power)!
As soon as he finished speaking, Atlas struck preemptively, lunged forward, and hit Zephyr's chest with his right fist. The huge force even made the air roar!
"Well done!" Zephyr was not afraid at all and also punched each other with fists. Suddenly, a huge roar stirred up a burst of dust around the two of them.
"Come again!" Atlas shook his numb arm and faced him again with high spirits.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of fierce collisions kept ringing in the school grounds, making the recruits who were watching the excitement feel numb. Although they thought Atlas was very strong before, they never felt it intuitively. But after witnessing today's battle with Zephyr, finally, they had a concrete concept of the power of Atlas.
Who is Zephyr? He is Black Arm Admiral! Even if he retires early,his strength is still at the peak. This can't help but make the surrounding recruits a bit shocked. 'Why is the gap between people so big?' (っ°Д °;)っ.
Shuzo on the side couldn't help but light up when he saw the expressions on the recruits' faces, as if he had figured out some difficult problem.
"Hahaha, so happy!"
"Shigan!"
"Tekkai!"
When Atlas' Shigan is placed on Zephyr's body, it feels like a sword colliding with steel. It just breaks the skin and can't move an inch.
"It's my turn, kid! Hahaha..." Seeing that Atlas's Shigan was not perfect, Zephyr couldn't help but tease him, but the movements of his hands did not stop for a moment.
Seimei Kikan Kami-e Budo Karada!(Martial Body) Soru!
I saw that Zephyr's original height of 3.48 meters shrunk rapidly, and his muscles seemed to have been run over by a hydraulic machine, like fine steel that had been tempered for thousands of times. The whole person gave people a short and lean feeling, and then quickly disappeared in front of Atlas, moving. The speed was so fast that Atlas didn't even react to it with his haki.
Danger! Danger!
Suddenly, a black shadow shrouded behind Atlas, and the early warning from observation haki frantically urged Atlas to leave the place, but before he could turn his body, a huge iron fist quickly hit his back.
Tekkai Bokushingu Kyodaina hanmā! (Giant Hammer)
Boom!
Atlas, who had received a solid punch from Zephyr, hit the ground hard on the school ground. The terrifying force even made a huge human-shaped crater in the hard ground!
"Ah! How merciless! Teacher Zephyr!"
Atlas climbed up from the ground with some pain. What surprised everyone around him was that his clothes were only slightly damaged. Even the scratches on his face healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a few lines. 'What a terrifying physique this is! Is this guy really not a Zoan Devil fruit power?'
"I know you are not afraid at all with your physique, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, hahaha!" Zephyr patted Atlas on the shoulder as he spoke, and Atlas could only stand aside. Smiling bitterly, he let the old man do whatever he wanted.
"Teacher Zephyr, you were in this state just now..."
"Yes, it's what you think, but this is just an application of Seimei Kikan!"
"By the way, I just saw it. Your mastery of the Rokushiki is really good. It's just that the time for practice is too short now. If you want to grow faster, you can only start with actual combat."
"Ah, what should I do?" Atlas suddenly became a little distressed. Although Zephyr is now an Admiral who has retired early, as the chief instructor of the recruitment camp, he is still very busy with official duties and cannot always accompany him. He sparred.
As for the rest of the recruiting camp...
Atlas shook his head secretly in his heart. They were too weak to pose any threat to him.
"Teacher Zephyr, I can be responsible for being a sparring partner for Canos Kohai." Shuzo, who had been planning for a long time, immediately volunteered upon seeing this.
"Huh?" Atlas was a little surprised. It was not that he had never thought of looking for Shuzo, but his affairs should not be very small. Unexpectedly...
"But I have a favor here and I need the help of Canos Kohai." Shuzo's dark face turned red and he said a little shyly.
'Good guy, you are waiting for me here. I usually see you as a dark-faced man who is honest and but I didn't expect you to play tricks on me. You have changed!'
Atlas complained secretly in his heart.
