"Big Bro! We were wrong!!" * 3
Three shouts rang out simultaneously. Luffy and the other two were currently crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands, looking exactly like they had just been released from a certain institution.
In the past few days since coming to Marine Headquarters to receive training from Zephyr, all three of them felt their strength had improved significantly.
Before Kyle returned, the three of them thought that even if they still couldn't beat Kyle by joining forces, they should at least be able to put up a decent fight.
It's just that imagination is full, reality is very skinny!
Now, after Kyle returned, he only needed a few punches and kicks to profoundly teach them one truth.
Your big bro is still your big bro!!
Zephyr, who had been watching Kyle's actions the whole time, also widened his eyes and subconsciously murmured:
"That kid Kyle..."
The next second, Zephyr narrowed his eyes, made a decision, and with a flash of his figure, instantly disappeared from his spot.
Here, Kyle was just about to lecture the three of them some more on how to respect their big bro when he suddenly sensed a feeling of threat and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Buzz—
A faint sound of tearing air came. Zephyr's fist landed directly on Kyle's forehead, but this punch did not land solidly. Instead, it passed straight through Kyle's head.
Violet Thunder surged violently, making even Zephyr's armament Haki-clad fist feel slightly numb.
At the same time, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. He had thought Kyle might dodge this punch, or that Kyle might block it head-on, but he truly hadn't expected Kyle to use elemental intangibility to avoid the damage of this punch.
There was only one explanation for being able to do this.
Kyle had mastered Observation Haki!!
Before Zephyr could think too much, he felt an intense sense of threat. Subconsciously looking down, what met his eyes was an extremely dazzling violet lightning. At the same time, Kyle's faint voice sounded.
"Lightning Spear!"
Boom—
Violent violet thunder erupted, instantly blasting Zephyr away. The speed of his flight back was incredibly fast, leaving a trail in the air.
But although Zephyr was no longer at his peak, his strength was still at the Admiral level. He reacted instantly, his feet landing on the ground and scraping continuously, plowing two long grooves.
And just as he stopped his body, Kyle's figure instantly appeared in front of him, a leg descending fiercely in an axe-kick posture.
Zephyr immediately crossed his arms above his head, coating them with armament Haki.
Boom—
The moment the two made contact, a powerful shockwave violently spread out in all directions, stirring up rolling air currents that directly sent the few bystanders watching the show flying.
Zephyr held up against Kyle's leg, looked up, his face full of astonishment.
"Kyle, this strength of yours..."
Kyle revealed a smile.
"Teacher, I don't know if you've heard this saying, after being apart for three days, one should look at a person with new eyes."
"And, this isn't even my full strength. Didn't you, old man, want to test me? Then let the two of us have a good fight. Coincidentally, I also want to see where my current limits are."
Before his words finished, countless thick bolts of violet lightning suddenly burst forth from Kyle's body, rushing towards Zephyr.
Zephyr took a step back, first dodging a few bolts, then began punching continuously at the other incoming lightning bolts, shattering them all into dispersing, smaller violet lightning snakes.
Looking at Kyle standing not far away with a smile on his lips, Zephyr also smiled.
"You brat, you really have given me a big surprise."
"Since you want to have a good spar with this old man, then I'll oblige you!!"
As he spoke, Zephyr twisted his neck a few times, the bones rubbing together making crackling sounds.
When the last syllable fell, Zephyr's figure had already disappeared from his spot.
!!
Looking at the fist that suddenly enlarged in his field of vision, Kyle's pupils contracted slightly.
"So fast!!"
Facing this fiercely incoming punch, Kyle did not take it head-on. Instead, he turned into a flash of lightning to dodge.
He also did not use elemental intangibility to dodge this punch again. In front of a prepared Zephyr, if he dared to stand still and use elemental intangibility, Zephyr would dare to give him a loving iron fist.
The element of intangibility is very useful when facing opponents whose Observation Haki is inferior to one's own. Every move of the opponent is known, and one can completely turn the part to be attacked intangible before the opponent's attack arrives, rendering the attack ineffective.
But it's not so easy to use when facing opponents of the same level. Using this move against opponents with stronger Observation Haki is practically no different from being a living target.
Obviously, Zephyr's Observation Haki was definitely stronger than his, so definitely couldn't play it that way.
Compared to Zephyr, he also had his own strengths.
That was his speed was faster, and his long-range attack capability was stronger!
So...
Use one's own strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses!
With a flash of lightning, Kyle's body appeared in mid-air, his hands spread open. Countless violet lightning bolts shot out, forming two giant violet thunderbirds behind Kyle.
The thunderbirds spread their wings, violet lightning splashing, and charged fiercely towards Zephyr below.
Boom!!
A huge explosion sound rang out. The ground instantly stirred up billowing dust, and another wave of air currents swept towards the surroundings.
Within the dust, occasional lightning flashed continuously, emitting a aura.
Suddenly, a figure shot out from the dust at an extremely fast speed, speeding towards Kyle above.
Seeing this, Kyle's expression did not change in the slightest. The lightning on his body became even more turbulent.
"Thunder Dragon!!"
Lightning condensed into a dragon shape and charged towards Zephyr again.
"Hah!"
Zephyr let out a low shout, making a swift motion, and threw out a fierce punch just before the Thunder Dragon was about to arrive.
The two collided in the air. Zephyr directly charged into the Thunder Dragon's body, then came out through it, while the Thunder Dragon collapsed with a crash.
Although the Thunder Dragon was scattered by Zephyr, it wasn't completely useless. After coming out of the Thunder Dragon, Zephyr's speed clearly slowed down a notch.
"Teacher Zephyr, what's your level, daring to come up into the sky?"
"Get down!!"
The moment Kyle's words fell, countless violet Lightning Spears also arrived in front of Zephyr at the same time.
Zephyr continuously threw punches, his speed so fast that it even formed afterimages. With each punch thrown, a Lightning Spear shattered.
But the problem was!!
Creating these Lightning Spears didn't require much stamina from Kyle. The number of Lightning Spears coming increased, faster and faster, forcing Zephyr's punching speed to also become faster and faster.
Before long, Zephyr seemed annoyed. The Haki on his right fist seemed to surge, and he threw out a fierce punch.
In an instant, a shockwave swept out from his fist, shattering all the incoming Lightning Spears. Countless Lightning Spears continuously, this shockwave like moths to a flame, but to no avail.
When all the Lightning Spears were annihilated, the shockwave also dissipated without a trace.
But Zephyr's expression did not relax at all. Instead, it became even more serious.
Because there was another violet Lightning Spear suspended high above. But unlike the previous violet Lightning Spears, this Lightning Spear's size was countless times larger. Just its spear tip was bigger than who knows how many Zephyrs.
"Accept judgment, Teacher Zephyr!!!"
Zephyr: ???
