Zephyr's expression instantly changed.
The proximity gave him the immediate sensation of being trapped by an invisible force.
Watching that strange opening stance, Zephyr felt he wasn't facing a person at all, but rather a black hole that devoured everything.
"Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!"
**Boom!**
Luo Yu's right foot slammed forward, and his body moved like a prehistoric beast charging ahead.
The stance of his outstretched fists resembled a meteor shower, furiously unleashing a barrage of blows.
In an instant, a sky filled with overlapping fists appeared, giving the impression of a sudden flood.
Countless fist shadows, carrying the weight of ten thousand jun, poured down wildly on Zephyr.
At this moment, the sounds of collisions were like the drums of a god, echoing endlessly. Under the violent impacts, the resulting gusts of wind caused the ground within a radius of dozens of meters to crumble.
Ten punches!
A hundred punches!
A thousand punches!
In a matter of seconds, Zephyr found himself under the barrage of fists, retreating again and again.
His hands were intertwined in front of his chest, frantically defending against the raging fist shadows.
It was like being caught in a raging storm, a feeling of inexplicable suffocation.
The forcefully condensed aura, the steel he had manifested, had finally reached its limit and was on the verge of collapse.
"Armament Haki!"
Zephyr roared, finally unable to restrain himself, and unleashed his renowned Black Arm.
"You brat, even though it's going against my word to use Haki against you, as the chief instructor, this old man doesn't want to lose face!"
Zephyr roared repeatedly, barely managing to steady himself as he covered his hands with Armament Haki.
The countless shadows of fists suddenly stopped at this moment.
Zephyr finally came to his senses.
Luo Yu's arm swelled dramatically, becoming as solid as a boulder.
A terrifying aura, like a raging hurricane, swirled around his arm.
At that moment, there was no unnecessary flashiness, just a lightning-fast, devastating punch.
**BOOM!**
The fist connected, and the violent air currents surged outward like a hurricane.
The sturdy platform where Zephyr stood, his legs firmly planted, was the first to give way, shattering instantly.
Zephyr himself was sent soaring into the sky by a colossal, tornado-like air current.
In an instant, he slammed into the Navy Headquarters Building a kilometer or two away.
**Boom!**
A massive surge of power erupted, unleashing a shockwave like a hurricane.
The outer wall of the Navy Headquarters Building, a symbol of Marineford, crumbled instantly.
The giant hole Zephyr had punched through it was surrounded by spiderweb-like cracks.
"What's going on? Why is headquarters under attack? Are they pirates or the Revolutionary Army? How dare they!"
"Quick! Highest level of alert! Someone is attacking Navy Headquarters! Everyone, move!"
"Find the attackers immediately! Let them understand the terror of our Navy Headquarters! Let them know that even the Four Emperors wouldn't escape death after attacking headquarters!"
Countless members of the Navy erupted in a frenzy.
Thousands upon thousands of people quickly gathered outside the headquarters, rushing to see where the attack on the building had occurred.
However, when they saw the figure embedded within the deep crater, they were all dumbfounded.
Were their eyes deceiving them?
Or had the attacker chosen a human-shaped Zephyr as a weapon?
Otherwise, why would the so-called enemy attack result in Zephyr being smashed into the ground?
"This must be fake. Purely physical strength, one punch sent Teacher Zephyr flying so far? Are we seeing things?"
Binz's expression was stiff as he couldn't help but mutter.
Ain's pretty face was pale, and she also wrote with a difficult tone: "Were we actually just challenging a monster?"
"Is he really a rookie who's only trained for a year?"
"To reach this level with just physical techniques... I bet it's the Secret Technique Zephyr-sensei was talking about!"
The vast plaza fell silent.
Feeling the shock radiating from everyone around him, Luo Yu dispersed the energy around him. Even he was surprised by the power of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist
It seemed this technique, belonging to Bang, the Silverfang from the martial arts world in One Punch Man, had taken on a new life in the world of pirates.
Luo Yu, using the last punch, broke through something, feeling like he had stepped into the realm of a physical technique Secret Technique.
If the Six Powers of the Navy were about initially sensing the energy within the body, using it to strengthen oneself, and using techniques like Iron Body and Finger Pistol...
Then the Six Powers Secret Technique was about condensing and compressing the sensed energy, and unleashing it all at once, like an air cannon.
In the Navy Headquarters, and even in the World Government, there were many who had mastered the Six Powers.
Even Six Powers combination techniques were no exception.
However, those who could use the Six Powers Secret Technique were few and far between.
Otherwise, Rob Lucci of CP9 wouldn't be called the strongest war weapon in eight hundred years.
Luo Yu sent Zephyr flying thousands of meters away with just his physical skills.
This was even more shocking than the so-called Haki techniques.
These were two completely different things.
"I suddenly gained some insight, and I couldn't hold back for a moment, sending Instructor Zephyr flying. This damage shouldn't be counted against me, right? I hope it won't be deducted from my salary," Luo Yu said helplessly, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses and taking a swig of the local liquor from his gourd.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
To send Zephyr flying and still think about docking pay?
What's even happening right now?
"Haha, Luo Yu, don't worry. Zephyr's retirement fund is bigger than mine. You don't need to fret over this little bit of damage."
Garp patted Luo Yu's shoulder, laughing heartily. "However, I should go take a look first. In case Sengoku makes a fuss, I'll have to spend some time explaining things for you."
As Luo Yu's guide, Garp looked at the shattered Navy Headquarters Building with a sense of melancholy.
Garp was absolutely confident in Luo Yu's potential and future achievements.
However, when he wrote the four-character evaluation of "Admiral-level potential" in the recommendation letter, he was still a little worried about not being able to persuade Zephyr.
The Navy has a promotion system.
Luo Yu needed to advance from his position as a New Recruit Sergeant Major, and the first step was to attend the Navy Academy to gain experience.
The best way to do this was to be recommended by Zephyr, the Chief Instructor, after his evaluation. Only then could he be promoted to a higher position.
Luo Yu's outstanding performance undoubtedly put Garp at ease.
Most importantly, as Luo Yu's mentor, Garp naturally wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity to show off.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll be heading back now," Luo Yu took a swig of the local liquor and made a gesture of counting money, saying, "About that overtime pay..."
"Haha, you little rascal, you really do care about this the most. I've already advanced the overtime pay for you with Zephyr. Here's a total of 800,000 Beli, take it!"
Garp laughed heartily, pulled out a stack of Beli, stuffed it into Luo Yu's hands, and quickly turned to leave.
The new recruits who were still on the drill ground watched Luo Yu, who was seriously counting his money.
This money-grubbing look felt a bit out of place compared to his earlier imposing presence!
