Although he said that, Kuro believed that even if he said he minded, the old man probably wouldn't take it off.
Taking this thing off is quite a hassle.
"That's fine then."
Kuro nodded.
Whoosh!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zephyr suddenly appeared, his mechanical arm mechanism slamming forward with tremendous force, striking Kuro squarely in the face.
Bang!
This blow sent Kuro flying backward, his feet carving a furrow in the ground.
He crossed his arms in front of his face, and his hands were already covered in Armament Haki.
The Armament Haki on his hands spread all over his body, a purple cross mark began to appear between his eyebrows, and two tear marks appeared under his eyes.
He lowered his hand, his tone becoming somewhat impolite: "Hey old man, can you please stop hitting my face?"
What's wrong with these people?
Rayleigh, who hadn't even met his old captain yet, slashed at the face with his sword the first time they met. Now you, an old fellow from the same era, have only known each other for a short time, and you're already punching him in the face.
I know I'm handsome, but there's no need to be so jealous.
"Ah... I'm sorry, but the thought of you being Borsalino's subordinate made me a little flustered," Zeffa said without any remorse.
Kuro: "..."
If I don't manage to steal a skill from you today, believe me, I'll cut off another one of your hands.
"Hey! Come on over."
Zephyr didn't give Kuro a chance to think. After speaking, he took a step, and his thick mechanical arm swung up, creating a whooshing sound, heading straight for Kuro.
"No abilities allowed, no swordsmanship allowed, only physical skills. Let me see where your weaknesses lie!"
Kuro squinted, spat out the cigar from his mouth, stretched out one hand, and pressed it against the mechanical arm that was swinging towards him.
BOOM!!!
A shockwave rippled out from beneath Kuro's feet, causing his body to shift slightly to the side.
"Not bad strength!"
Zephyr smiled and nodded. The mechanical arm he swung out was blocked by Kuro with one hand.
This is no ordinary strength. The mechanical arm is made of Seastone, and the steel rods that stabilize the machine are also made of Seastone. For a power user, touching Seastone will cause them to lose their strength.
But there are nuances to this.
Of course, ordinary ability users would do that.
However, the strong will not lose their fighting power because of a mere Sea Stone.
With proper training, wearing Seastone will at most render one's abilities ineffective, but one can still unleash their strength and domineering aura, though the extent to which they retain depends on the individual.
But without a doubt, those who can still exert their strength under the influence of Seastone are all strong individuals.
"However, simply resisting the power of Seastone is not enough!"
Zephyr pushed forward, taking advantage of the gap in Kuro's blocking of the mechanical arm to get close to him. His left fist was clenched and stained with black, and before Kuro could react, he punched him in the abdomen.
Bang!
"Tsk!"
Kuro gritted his teeth, enduring the pain spreading through his abdomen, and kicked out, his toe striking Zephyr's wrist, sending Zephyr's hand flying upwards. Using the force of the kick, Zephyr's body spun backwards twice before landing back on the ground.
Even though this old man has become weaker, he is still not to be underestimated, especially in terms of physical skills. When he hits someone, it still hurts quite a bit.
Zefa was also somewhat astonished. He looked at his hands, which were covered with small cuts, as if they had been slashed by a sharp weapon.
"This feeling..."
Long-forgotten memories were suddenly unlocked.
When he was dealing with the Rocks Pirates, there was a crew member who left a very deep impression on him.
"Nail Fist Technique? Why do you know this move? Besides, it's clearly meant for attacking, yet you're using it for defensive purposes. Your physical talent is indeed quite impressive."
"It's alright..."
Kuro touched his stomach and said, "I've been researching this recently, and the results are pretty good."
“Not bad, I wonder how fast you are.” Zephyr raised his mechanical arm, bent over, and said, “Now, it’s your turn to deal with me.”
"You'd better be careful, old man. I'm very fast."
Kuro twisted his neck, bent his legs slightly, and revealed a confident smile.
call...
A gentle breeze rustled through the air.
As a gentle breeze blew by, Kuro disappeared from Zephyr's sight. A chill ran down his spine from his side, and Zephyr's pupils contracted as he raised his mechanical arm forward.
Bang!
Kuro kicked the mechanical arm with one foot, then stepped onto it, leaping upwards with his legs spread wide. His Haki gleamed under the sky, resembling a battle axe.
You're slapping me in the face?
I'll chop you up too!
Zephyr smiled and said, "Not bad speed, as expected of Borsalino's subordinate."
*Smack*
After saying that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Kuro's legs, then swung them to the side with great force. Kuro felt a powerful force spread out, carrying his body away into the distance, about to crash into a building.
Thump!
Kuro stepped on the wall of the building, making a dent in it, before landing and frowning at Zephyr.
"It's just that your attack methods are too monotonous. You still have a lot of experience to gain in physical skills. Simply honing your skills on your own won't be enough to deal with a master of physical skills."
"What a pity..."
Zefa looked at him and sighed with some regret, "You should have come to headquarters a long time ago. It's unbelievable that you've stayed in the East China Sea for ten years. The government's control over the East China Sea is too strong."
Kuro joined the army at the age of fourteen. If he had been trained from that time, he would definitely be stronger than he is now.
