Looking at this familiar severed arm, Zephyr sighed softly and said, "Lord Saitama, you don't have to joke with me. If Vegapunk were here with advanced medical equipment, perhaps this arm could be reattached."
"But, as you can see, the warship is destroyed, and there's no emergency medical equipment on board."
"It would take a full day to return to Marine Headquarters from here. There's no way to reattach the arm in time before its cells die off."
With that, Zephyr sighed softly and said, "It seems even heaven thinks I'm old and wants me to retire early."
"I'm already very fortunate to have met Lord Saitama this time. Otherwise, if these young ones and I were to perish here, I would become a sinner of the Navy."
Weevil's attack was completely beyond Zephyr's comprehension.
If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, who would believe that someone on this sea would be so insane as to target a Navy new recruit training ship.
"Don't worry. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Leave this arm to me, and you hurry and prepare for the reattachment!"
With these words, Kai took Zephyr's arm and leaped onto the pirate ship to prepare.
Zephyr and the other two looked at each other, dumbfounded.
They had initially thought Kai was just joking, giving them false hope.
They never expected that this seemingly unserious face.
Was actually not joking at all.
Meanwhile, in the vast Marshal's office at Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral, sat grimly on his chair, looking at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, speechless.
Present were also Chief of Staff Tsuru, Admirals Akainu and Aokiji, and Garp, who was eating a donut.
Faced with the distress signal from Zephyr received not long ago, Sengoku had already mobilized nearby Marines to provide support.
Unfortunately, upon recalling the opponent Zephyr encountered this time, and according to intelligence, Weevil's lineup.
It was a devastating disaster for Zephyr and the new recruit training ship he was leading.
"Kizaru, has that guy finished escorting the Celestial Dragons and returned to Marine Headquarters yet?" Sengoku couldn't hold back his impatience.
Upon receiving Zephyr's distress signal, Sengoku had immediately dispatched nearby Marines to provide support.
However, thinking about Weevil's connection to that place, and his flawed power.
It was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
According to Sengoku's calculations, even among Marine Vice Admirals, only the top ones could contend with him to some extent.
Currently, only Hina had responded promptly to the mission order.
Although in her brief emergency report, Hina mentioned unexpectedly encountering the new Seven Warlord, the One-Punch Man Saitama.
And that an agreement for him to intervene had been reached.
However, thinking of his identity, and that Weevil was also one of the Seven Warlord candidates chosen by the World Government.
What if Saitama, as a Seven Warlord, didn't put in full effort and acted with a casual attitude?
That would be gambling with Zephyr's life.
After all, with the repeated summons for Seven Warlords, this kind of attitude was common.
"Sengoku, what are you worried about? With Brother Saitama there, Zephyr will be fine," Garp said nonchalantly, stuffing a donut into his mouth.
His words instantly drew everyone's attention.
Sengoku's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked, "Garp, Zephyr is facing a life-or-death crisis right now, and you're the only one here drinking tea and eating snacks."
"Also, why didn't you report about Whitebeard's contact with Shanks, and why Saitama suddenly appeared there?"
"What happened on the ship back then? Saitama had no bounty initially, so why did you add a 50 Beli bounty? Don't forget, some people are very sensitive about bounties."
"If Saitama sees this bounty amount and thinks Marine Headquarters is mocking him, what if it backfires and causes him to become hostile towards us?"
Marine Headquarters was already overwhelmed by the series of major incidents erupting on the seas.
If, due to Sengoku's slight oversight, another troublemaker were to stand in opposition to Marine Headquarters.
This was definitely not what Sengoku wanted to see.
"Mr. Garp, I'd like to know, how strong is that Saitama?" Aokiji asked first, exhaling a breath of cold air.
Facing this question, Akainu, who had been silently sitting beside him, also instinctively looked at Garp.
Sensing the shift in the atmosphere, Garp chuckled and said, "Sengoku, that kid isn't as petty as you think."
"As for what happened on the Moby Dick, there's nothing worth reporting."
"However, I can tell you that the kid's hand-to-hand combat and his fists are very good. He has the vigor of my youth. In time, he might even be able to flatten a mountain with one punch."
"Vice Admiral Garp, your words are a bit exaggerated. According to my estimation, that so-called One-Punch Man Saitama has likely fought Weevil to a mutual destruction." Akainu finally couldn't help but speak.
"If it has come to this, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you should issue an order for Zephyr to finish them off."
Everyone knew that Garp, at God Valley, had teamed up with Pirate King Roger to defeat Rocks.
With his iron fists, he earned the title of Marine Hero.
His strength was so great that not only Marine Headquarters and the World Government, but even the Four Emperors of the sea, recognized it.
However, now Garp was saying that this Saitama, in time, could rival his youth.
Although the setting of this world was that one doesn't weaken with age.
And with Garp's physical condition, he would only get stronger.
Perhaps Garp's current strength was even greater than in his youth.
But if Saitama was compared to Garp in his youth, Akainu absolutely refused to accept that a pirate's strength could reach such a level.
"Kill them?" Aokiji raised an eyebrow and said, "Akainu, your suggestion seems a bit excessive."
"Don't forget, Saitama, the Seven Warlord, was commissioned by Marine Headquarters to support Teacher Zephyr. If this incident gets out, the other Seven Warlords might have opinions."
"Don't forget, those guys are all unruly individuals."
Unlike Akainu's absolute justice, Aokiji stood on the side of justice, but he also had a moral compass.
"Are you saying that because pirates are working for us, they shouldn't die?" Akainu's face darkened, and he roared.
"It's precisely because of your soft-heartedness that I've always disliked you."
