"It will harden the whole body, and is only suitable for dealing with certain ranged attacks that cannot be avoided."
"Don't do this when fighting pirates."
"Hardening the whole body will increase the consumption of Haki, and there is no point unless you want to waste Haki."
Zephyr looked Rosen up and down, then his right hand shot out like lightning and pointed a finger at Rosen's neck.
Bang.
As a former naval Admiral, although he had retired and had not been on the battlefield for a long time, his vision, experience, and awareness had not disappeared with retirement.
The force of his finger was just enough to break the Armament Haki that was wrapped around Rosen's body, but it did not hurt his body. Even after being hit by the finger, Rosen was still sitting on the chair and was not knocked away.
"Look."
"If you use all the Armament Haki that you use to harden your entire body to harden only your neck, your defense will at least be able to increase by one level."
"They won't be dispersed by my attack."
Zephyr withdrew his finger.
"The students were educated."
"Thank you, Instructor Zephyr."
When Rosen heard this, he was startled, and the first person he thought of was Vergo.
If Vergo had done this at Punk Hazard, facing Trafalgar Law, if he had focused all his Haki into one area, he would not have been instantly cut down in one blow.
"If you call me Instructor Zephyr, then I have the responsibility to teach you well."
Zephyr waved his hand, first scanning the classroom with his eyes at the students who were still struggling to find Armament Haki, and after a little thought, he said something shocking:
"From today on, you don't have to attend classes with other people."
As soon as these words came out—
The whole audience was shocked.
Naturally, this also included Rosen.
"Why?"
Rosen's expression remained unchanged.
In other places, he would still worry about encountering the situation where the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but in the Naval Academy, especially in Zephyr's class, there was no need to worry at all.
On the contrary.
The more he showed off, the happier Zephyr was.
"It is unfair to a genius to let him study with a group of ordinary people."
"Same thing."
"It is also unfair to a monster to let him study with a group of geniuses."
Zephyr looked at Rosen and spoke word by word.
Upon hearing this, Rosen fell silent.
He understood what Zephyr meant.
Just like if you threw Gion and Tokikake from Zephyr's class into an ordinary class, these two people mastered the entanglement Hardening of Armament Haki in just one day, while other students needed half a year or even several years to master it.
Then, for a long time to come, neither Gion nor Tokikake would make any progress.
It's not that they had run out of ideas, but that the teachers in ordinary classes were still repeatedly explaining the key points of entanglement Hardening, or conducting basic training for it.
But Gion and Tokikake had already understood these things thoroughly, and no matter how many classes they attended or how much they practiced, it would all be a waste of time.
But it was different in Zephyr's class.
It's not just the difference in instructors, but also the difference in teaching methods.
Same reason.
The same situation was happening to Rosen in Zephyr's class now.
He had mastered Armament Haki entanglement Hardening in just half an hour. People like Smoker hadn't even awakened Haki, and even Gion and Tokikake, who had the qualities of Admirals, hadn't fully mastered Haki yet.
In other words, if he continued to stay in Zephyr's class and took the same classes as Smoker, he would just be wasting time.
"Rosen."
"From now on."
"I will open another class for you. You don't have to come to this classroom anymore. I will take the time to teach you one-on-one."
Zephyr's words were like a typhoon in the classroom.
"What?"
After hearing this, Smoker, Hina, and others could not help but be shocked.
Why are students in Zephyr's class so envied by students in other classes? It's not just because they have the guaranteed rank of Captain, but more importantly, they can receive teaching directly from former Admiral Zephyr.
But what about now?
Zephyr actually set up another class specifically for Rosen to provide one-on-one special teaching.
The treatment was again on another level.
This was no longer the treatment that only instructors and cadets in the Naval Academy could receive, but the treatment that only true personal disciples could receive.
"Don't say that I favor Rosen, and don't say that I don't give you a chance."
"Today is the only day."
"Whoever can master the Hardening of Armament Haki before the school bell rings, I will make an exception and let them enter this newly established class."
Zephyr saw everyone's envy, so he used Rosen as an example to further stimulate the students' fighting spirit.
Especially.
The corner of his eye seemed to glance at Gion and Tokikake inadvertently.
Learn to entangle and harden Armament Haki in one day?
It is impossible for 99% of people in this ocean. Only a very few monsters with future Admiral-level potential can do it.
He had taught Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Kuzan, and from the moment he stepped into the classroom, he had noticed Gion and Tokikake.
In the two of them, he saw the figures of Borsalino and the others.
In other words, although Zephyr's words seemed to be addressed to all the students in the classroom, he was actually only speaking to Gion and Tokikake.
As for others, like Smoker, even if Zephyr made an exception and let them be in the same class as Rosen, it would only make them feel despair.
The classmates around them would be making great progress, but they themselves would be standing still.
If you suffered this kind of blow every day for a long time, it would have a devastating impact on your self-confidence.
"One day?"
Gion clenched her hands into fists, and a hint of heat flashed in her eyes.
If she wanted to master entanglement Hardening in half an hour like Rosen, she knew she would never be able to do it, but if it took a day, she still had confidence she could do it.
Because she had already taken the first step that Zephyr mentioned.
Know Haki, find Haki, and use Haki.
Currently, she was at the second step, finding Haki.
"It seems that I am not without a chance!"
Tokikake thought secretly.
No one with the pride of a future Admiral would be willing to admit that he was weaker than others.
Even though he saw with his own eyes that Rosen was ahead of him, he simply thought that Rosen was learning Haki faster than him, but it didn't mean his own strength was inferior.
"Fire on the mountain."
"Come here."
"Substitute for me in the class."
Zephyr took out the Den Den Mushi and called Yamakaji, who was still a vice Admiral at that time.
Compared to Doberman and Onigumo, who were also vice Admirals but had a tough and ruthless style, Yamakaji had a much gentler personality.
When he was not out on a mission, Zephyr would call him to substitute for class or act as his assistant.
Soon.
Yamakaji rushed over after receiving Zephyr's call.
After arriving in the classroom, he immediately looked at Rosen.
Apparently, Zephyr had already told him about Rosen over the Den Den Mushi.
"Are there really monsters even more insane than Sakazuki?"
"There are actually people like this in this world."
"I can't even imagine it!"
Yamakaji looked at Rosen, unable to conceal the surprise in his eyes.
It would already be remarkable if the Naval Academy produced another student with the potential to become a future Admiral.
But now?
How could he not be shocked when a super monster appeared whose ability was even greater than that of a future Admiral?
