Chapter 49

Right now, he was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Half an hour later, Weevil had already lost consciousness, but he had not lost his life; his vitality was too formidable, simply not like that of a human.

"Master Zephyr, what should we do? Kill him?"

Zephyr nodded, panting heavily. The battle with Weevil had exhausted him; after all, he was advanced in years, and even with the assistance of Karl and Ain, his stamina could not sustain him for days and nights of fighting unless he overspent his life force.

"You brat, you're asking me? Haven't you wanted to kill him for a long time?"

Karl scratched his head with a smile and walked toward the unconscious Weevil, holding the Wuwu.

"This guy is a bit strange. Master Zephyr, look at the scars on his body!"

Zephyr looked in the direction Karl was pointing. Weevil had three shocking scars on his body, as if he had experienced major injuries where his entire left arm and head had been slashed or severed.

"I noticed it long ago. At first, I just thought his recovery ability was super strong, that he could recover even after receiving such attacks."

"But thinking about it carefully, that's impossible. If he really had such strong recovery ability, how could he have been left with scars?"

Karl nodded silently. He now seriously suspected that Weevil was a stitched-together monster created by the Navy Science Unit, but it was only a suspicion, without concrete evidence.

"Forget it, Master Zephyr, these are not things we should worry about. Let me send him on his way!"

"You do it! I won't interfere."

Zephyr walked to the side, breathing evenly. Then, the sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out. Zephyr slowly closed his eyes, shaking his head and sighing.

After exerting all his strength, Karl finally sent Weevil away from this beautiful world, but the blade of the famous sword Wuwu he had just obtained now had a crack in it.

Karl guessed it must have been left when he blocked that strike from Weevil. This sword could be considered ruined, but it didn't matter; there was still a black blade in the Devil's Triangle!

"Master Zephyr, I have already fired the signal flare. Binz and the others should be back very soon."

Zephyr nodded and turned to walk toward the cabin of the training ship. Just before entering, he turned back and said, "Karl, remember to call for support from Navy Headquarters. Our ship might not make it back to Navy Headquarters."

"Mm-hmm, don't you worry."

Another half hour passed, and several lifeboats slowly approached the training ship. The recruits swarmed onto the deck, and upon seeing Karl standing by the railing smoking a cigar, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Karl, how is Master Zephyr? Is he okay?"

Karl looked back and smiled: "Don't worry! Master Zephyr is fine, just a bit tired. Don't disturb him; let him have a good rest."

"Then, Karl, the battle just now..."

Only then did the recruits notice that the training ship was already riddled with holes and blade marks, and the entire ship was creaking.

"That pirate with a bounty of 320 million Berries... has he been killed by Master Zephyr?"

"Yes, the body is on that ship over there. If you want to go see it, you might as well search that ship while you're at it! There should be some gold and treasures on it; remember to bring them back to be confiscated."

"That goes without saying!!!"

Soon, most of the recruits ran to the small, rickety ship.

Looking at Weevil's giant-like body, the recruits gasped.

"So this is the kind of opponent Master Zephyr and Karl were facing? Too terrifying!"

"Look, he actually has the same mustache as Whitebeard. Could they really be father and son?"

The recruits surrounded Weevil, pointing and talking excitedly, until the ship could no longer hold up, at which point they went to empty out the treasures Miss Bakkin had instigated Weevil to loot and returned to the training ship. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
