Chapter 125

The scorching magma made the giant elephant's skin turn a shade of red.

But for Jack, who has evolved into the Mythical Zoan type: Jin Gang Mammoth, this degree of heat would take at least half a day to fully roast him.

Such a long time is enough for Luo Xing to deal with Black Arm Zephyr.

At this moment, Zephyr was stunned dumb by Jack's action.

He felt that compared to Jack, his own behavior just now was not even considered crazy.

Watching Luo Xing gradually walk towards him, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zephyr's mouth.

"Your Beasts Pirates truly hide dragons and tigers. No, to be accurate, your invention is too heaven-defying; it simply should not exist in this world!"

Suddenly, a huge sense of powerlessness surged up from the bottom of Zephyr's heart.

The medicine from Ain that he took earlier is about to wear off, and his body will no longer be able to hold on.

"It seems I have reached my end today, unable even to drag you all down with me..."

Zephyr propped up his increasingly heavy body with his mechanical arm, forcing himself to maintain an upright posture.

Obviously.

Even in this desperate situation, Zephyr did not intend to surrender without a fight.

Truly the Admiral Black Arm Zephyr!

Luo Xing stopped his steps and said:

"Zephyr, although you are old, you still possess the spirit of a top-tier powerhouse in the world. To express my respect for you, I will use my strongest move to send you on your way."

Luo Xing's words made Zephyr feel extremely surprised.

He looked at Luo Xing in astonishment, and the bone-deep hatred for pirates in his eyes weakened considerably.

Zephyr said:

"Is this a pirate's mercy? You are indeed a bit different from the pirates I have seen in the past."

"Never mind. Being able to witness the strength of you, the Fifth Emperor who is even more mysterious than the Four Emperors, before I die, counts as fulfilling a regret!"

Zephyr straightened his body.

He mobilized all his life force to activate the strongest Armament Haki of his life, covering his mechanical arm.

He shouted loudly at Luo Xing:

"Come on, kid!"

Luo Xing put Tashigi down and drew Enma from his waist.

In the instant Enma left its sheath, peerless Haki surged around Luo Xing.

Tashigi, who had come to her senses, stared blankly at Luo Xing's blade, thinking in her heart:

"Is this Enma, the Great Grade Sword of the Twenty-One, known as the Demon Blade of Hell? Even the aura on the blade is enough to make one tremble with fear!"

Tashigi then looked at the Luo Xing in front of her with a pale face.

"And how terrifying is the man who can control Enma?"

Tashigi could not imagine it; she merely trembled slightly with her body.

Under the pressure Luo Xing intentionally or unintentionally emitted from his body, she did not even have the strength to run away.

Luo Xing raised Enma high, injected a massive amount of Haki into it, and then slashed down with one strike.

"Purgatory: King of Hell!"

This is a sword technique stronger than Purgatory: Asura from the battle against Golden Lion!

That huge black sword wave left a deep trench on the ground.

Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed!

Zephyr felt a crisis unlike any before.

All the muscles in his body trembled with excitement.

"Very good, such a slash is truly suitable for my grave!"

Zephyr laughed loudly and heroically.

Then, the mechanical arm covered with his most powerful Armament Haki punched out at the black sword wave!

Boom-Boom!!

A terrifying explosion sounded instantly, and the violent wind blew both Ain and Tashigi away.

Even the dark clouds in the sky showed a faint tendency to crack!

And when all the commotion gradually subsided.

On the ground, a hundred-zhang crater had already appeared.

Zephyr, who had lost his mechanical arm and was covered in blood, lay at the bottom of the pit.

"Teacher Zephyr!!"

Ain wept uncontrollably and crawled to Zephyr's side.

Luo Xing then tapped his foot and came to Zephyr's side as well.

Luo Xing spoke with a tone of slight sigh:

"You, who have witnessed the ugliness of the World Government, if you did not hate pirates so much, there might have been a slight possibility of you joining my Beasts Pirates faction."

Zephyr coughed up a mouthful of blood and said weakly:

"Join the pirates' faction? I never thought of such a thing. Whether it is the Marines or the pirates, your justice and evil bring no benefit at all to this world!"

Zephyr turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Luo Xing.

"But, I can feel that you seem different from other pirates."

"Can you tell me, what is your ambition?"

Luo Xing's gaze was deep, and he said without hesitation:

"I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable scientist, a collector by inclination."

"If we're talking about ambition, my wife Yamato did say she wanted to create a world where everyone can eat their fill."

"Heh, that really is a magnificent goal!"

"And before that magnificent goal is realized, I'm going to destroy the world first."

Zephyr's whole body trembled, and he stared at Luo Xing with an incredulous, complicated gaze.

Staring at Luo Xing with that same gaze were Ain and Tashigi as well.

Zephyr flopped down onto the ground with a thud and said nothing for a long while.

Then, at some unknown moment, the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile, and he whispered in a voice faint to the extreme:

"To be the savior who destroys the world, how interesting… haha, this old man has never heard of such an interesting ambition…"

Zephyr suddenly stretched out his only remaining left hand, reaching toward the sky as if trying to touch the clouds.

"This old man truly wants to see such a world!"

The voice fell, and the arm fell.

Zephyr closed his eyes forever.

A generation's Admiral of the Navy, teacher of countless outstanding disciples, a hero who devoted his family's lives and a lifetime of heart to the Marines yet was ultimately betrayed by the World Government—Black Arm Zephyr—thus met his end!.

"The so-called Marines and World Government are nothing but another breed of pirates."

"Clad in a hypocritical skin, they are sometimes even more detestable than pirates."

Luo Xing gazed at Zephyr's corpse and murmured his heartfelt lament.

Zephyr's disciple, the Retro-Return-Reverse Fruit user Ain, was weeping uncontrollably.

She dug a pit with both hands and buried Zephyr within it.

Even though her fingers were rubbed raw and bloody by the hard rock, she felt no pain at all.

Luo Xing's heart stirred, and he said to Ain:

"Senior Zephyr has passed, and the neo Marines have disbanded as well. What do you plan to do next?"

Ain's vacant gaze turned to Luo Xing, and she shook her head blankly.

Luo Xing extended his hand toward her and said in a gentle voice:

"Senior Zephyr's final wish was to see the world of the future. As his disciple, you ought to inherit his last will."

Hearing these words, a light immediately shone in Ain's blank gaze, and she then stood up, her expression resolute as she said:

"Yes, I will inherit Teacher Zephyr's last will and see the world of the future you speak of!"

Ain placed her hand in Luo Xing's, and Luo Xing smiled in satisfaction.

Then, with one hand he picked up little Tashigi, who had been standing foolishly to the side, and said to Vergo:
