"This man's physique is completely different from what he appears to be."
"It looks like his intelligence is impaired, but that power is truly not to be underestimated."
"Whitebeard's son. I don't remember hearing that Whitebeard had a son."
Zefa kicked Weeble away, and the long knife he had snatched was taken back by Weeble. Zefa also heard the conversation between the mother and son, but he never took it to heart.
Whitebeard's son?!
Whitebeard has too many sons.
But seeing that Weevil was not hurt after two heavy blows from him, Zephyr changed his previous idea. He might have misunderstood what the other party said. He meant that Weevil was Whitebeard's biological son, not an "adopted son" like Marco and others.
Looking at Weevil's appearance silently, Zephyr really couldn't see the shadow of Whitebeard on that face, but Weevil's sturdy body and strong physique might really have inherited Whitebeard's bloodline.
This discovery also made Zefa's expression even more gloomy.
Such a young man, coupled with the words of the old woman Ba Jin.
He really was in big trouble.
"Hehe, Weibull, you are right. You are Whitebeard's son. In this world, no one's physique can compare with yours."
"You have the same blood as Whitebeard flowing in your body!"
"Kill this guy quickly, he's your father's enemy!"
Bakin didn't seem to be planning to attack, his hands behind his back, carefully guiding his son. The surrounding navy officers looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they hadn't received any further orders from Zefa, these young men exchanged a quick glance and silently pointed their guns at Bakin.
In their opinion, this short, frail old man in front of them might be a breakthrough point.
"Bang bang bang bang!!"
Intensive gunfire rang out on the deck, and the sailors raised their guns and fired.
MISS Bakin, who was surrounded by the navy, had a calm expression, but showed a hint of impatience on her face when the navy opened fire.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at the young sailor closest to him, and the thin figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The moment Bakin disappeared, bullets hit the deck where she had been. The sailors, having lost their target, were stunned.
"hiss--"
"Boy, you smell so good!"
A young navy officer, firing a rifle, was looking around, searching for Bakin. But at that moment, a cold whisper echoed above his head.
At some point, the disappeared Ba Jin was now riding on the young man's head.
But the strange thing was that the young man could not feel the weight on his body at all. It was not until Ba Jin spoke that he reacted belatedly. He turned his head to throw Ba Jin off him, but Ba Jin actually lowered her head and bit the young man's neck.
The pain lasted only for a moment. The moment he was bitten by Bajin, the young man felt a tingling sensation all over his body. His body trembled, and he could no longer stand and fell to the ground.
“Bang!!”
A muffled sound rang out among the crowd. Seeing this scene, the comrades around subconsciously stepped back. Although they had reloaded their guns and aimed them at Bajin, the soldiers were afraid of accidental injury and did not dare to speak at all.
“Tsk!”
After a few breaths, Ba Jin slowly raised her head, smacked her lips, and a hint of intoxicated smile appeared on her face. There was still bright red blood at the corner of her mouth.
It was not known if it was an illusion, but at this moment the sailors saw that Bajin looked radiant. Although he still looked old, his originally dry skin seemed to be slightly moisturized, and he looked a little better.
Slowly standing up, Bakin looked around and chuckled again. She looked at the sailors as if she was selecting food on a plate, which made these young people shudder.
The young sailor who was attacked by Bakin was still twitching after falling to the ground, and there was even a look of intoxication on his face. Not long after, the young man's body stopped moving and he was completely dead.
But the strange thing was that until his death, there was still no trace of pain on the young sailor's face.
"Bajin!"
All this happened so suddenly that even Zefa was caught off guard.
However, by the time he reacted and tried to stop Bakin, it was already too late.
A loud shout sounded behind Bakin, and the burly Zefa suddenly appeared behind Bakin, raised his fist and smashed it hard on Bakin's head.
He would never show mercy to the pirates who hurt his students. The moment Zephyr attacked in anger, he had already forgotten the belief of "not killing the admiral".
That naive idea had already killed his wife and children, and Zefa didn't want to fall in the same place twice.
Bakin and Weeble gave Zefa a strong sense of crisis, and he attacked with all his strength.
Ba Jin turned around suddenly, and Zefa's terrifying attack also made her face change. Although she spoke to her son in a frivolous tone, and her words and deeds did not take Zefa seriously at all, Ba Jin still valued Zefa very much.
After all, he was once a naval admiral. How weak could he be?
“You’ll die!”
Zefa's fist was reflected in Bajin's pupils. Bajin wanted to dodge and escape but found that the opponent's speed was beyond her imagination and she was too late.
Just as Bakin was about to be killed by Zefa's blow, a dark shadow suddenly leaped out from her side. Weibull unexpectedly crossed the distance of more than ten meters and instantly appeared in front of Bakin, holding his long sword horizontally to block Zefa's fist.
“Bang—”
A terrifying force was transmitted from the knife. Weevil grabbed the knife with both hands, stepped hard, and actually blocked Zefa's angry attack.
A muffled sound was heard on the deck, and a violent gust of wind swept over.
Bakin, with a look of surprise on his face, breathed a sigh of relief quietly, then grinned and lightly jumped onto Weeble's head.
The experience just now made Bajin's hair stand on end and he felt a little scared. Facing a strong man like Zefa, he should not leave his son easily, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
Ba Jin, who had survived the ordeal, patted her son's head gently and scolded him, "Stupid son, I almost died!"
"Protect me, don't stay too far away from me!"
"Kill this guy, quickly!"
Weevil's physical strength is very strong, even stronger than Zephyr's.
It didn't seem very difficult for Weeble to hold up his sword to block Zefa's attack.
"I'm so sorry!"
While wrestling with Zefa, Weeble was even able to distract himself and talk to his mother. After answering, Weeble suddenly exerted force with both hands, directly raised the knife to push Zefa away, and then a murderous look flashed on his face, and he swung the knife directly at Zefa.
“Get down!!”
At this moment, Zefa suddenly realized something and immediately shouted at the sailors behind him to remind them.
Before he finished speaking, Weeble's attack was already approaching him. Zefa glanced at the disciples who seemed to be standing there stupidly and had no time to react, so he made up his mind, raised his arms, and planned to take it head-on.
"clang!!!"
The blade directly cut into Zefa's arm, and the terrifying force directly knocked Zefa away. However, Weevil's target was not only Zefa, and he swung the long sword, and a flying slash swept towards the navy on the deck.
Some experienced and quick-witted sailors dodged in time, while those who reacted a little slower were swept away by the attack and their bodies were separated.
"boom!!!"
The slash flew over dozens of meters and hit the outer wall of the cabin, making a loud bang. The building collapsed. The warship's observation tower was also affected by the attack and tilted down towards the cabin, crushing the roof.
Ace and Sabo, who had just taken Luffy back to the cabin for shelter, had just brought Luffy back to the house when a loud noise came from above. The vibration made Ace and Sabo's faces change suddenly, and their eyes showed deep worry.
They have been sailing with Zefa for so long, and this is not the first time they have encountered pirates.
But this was the first time they had encountered such a large-scale battle.
In the past, pirates would be shot into sieves by ship guns before they even got close to the warships, let alone boarding the ships to fight. A situation like today has never happened before.
"what happens?!"
"Was the warship hit by a cannon?"
Luffy quickly shrank into the corner with his hands on his head. Seeing that the vibration had slowed down a little, Luffy also guessed aloud.
Unlike the meticulous Ace and Sabo, Luffy is full of confidence in Zephyr and the navy. Not only does he not have any worries at this time, but he is very interested in the battle on the deck and wants to join the battle.
Ace and Sabo looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
A strong enemy, it must be that Zefa has encountered an unprecedented strong enemy.
"Sabo, you and Luffy stay here. I'm going to go see what's going on."
Ace patted Sabo's shoulder gently and said. Just as he was about to leave, Sabo grabbed Ace's wrist and shook his head gently, rarely denying Ace's idea, and stopped him:
"Ace, don't be impulsive. Mr. Zefa probably asked us to stay in the cabin because he anticipated that the enemy would be difficult to deal with."
"Don't go up there and cause more trouble. If we can't even handle him, there's no point in us going up there."
At this point, Ace interrupted directly:
"No, it works!"
"I can help!"
Ace knew what Sabo was going to say, but he wouldn't change his mind because of Sabo's persuasion. He broke free from Sabo's hand, quickly opened the door, and walked out.
"Ace!" Sabo grabbed Luffy, who was ready to move, with one hand, trying to call Ace back, but Ace ignored him.
Seeing this, Sabo's expression also became serious. He placed his hands on Luffy's shoulders and said seriously:
"Luffy, you must stay in the cabin and don't go anywhere."
"If I don't see you when I come back, I won't play with you anymore!"
Sabo's serious expression made Luffy's face fall. He nodded reluctantly, then walked to the bed in the cabin and agreed:
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you to come back."
Even with Luffy's personality, he could feel the oppressive atmosphere from Ace and Sabo, and he was quite cooperative at this moment.
Sabo nodded, followed Ace's footsteps and left quickly, but he was still worried about his younger brother, so he locked the door before leaving.
In the pitch-black corridor, you can't see your hand in front of you.
The warship's lighting system seemed to have been affected by the battle and had become inoperable.
Hearing the familiar footsteps behind him, Ace slowed down his pace. After Sabo caught up, Ace didn't say much. The two brothers walked towards the deck tacitly.
At this time, the deck of Zefa's warship was already a river of blood.
Zefa was knocked away by Weevil's slash. Although he stabilized his body in the air and quickly returned to the deck with the help of his Moon Step ability, in just a few tens of seconds, Weevil had already started killing the sailors on the deck.
His strength was terrifying. No naval cadet could be a match for Weeble. Of the hundreds of cadets on Zefa's ship, only half were still standing.
But even the remaining half were frightened by Weeble's terrifying power, and fear lingered in everyone's heart.
When Zefa came back and saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot. He ignored the injury on his arm left by blocking the opponent's attack and rushed directly towards Weevil.
Weevil, who was slaughtering Zefa's subordinates, sensed the breath behind him and stopped decisively, swinging his sword to slash behind him. Zefa's figure flipped slightly in the air, avoiding the slash and directly clasped his fists and smashed towards Bakin who was riding on Weevil.
At this moment of life and death, Bakin didn't care about his son at all. He slipped and got off Weeble's body directly. The next moment, Zefa's fist hit Weeble's head hard.
"Ugh!"
The huge force deformed Weeble's face and he fell headfirst to the ground, creating a big hole in the deck.
"Weeble!!!"
Bakin, who had just dodged away, couldn't help but exclaim. Seeing that Zefa was about to continue to execute Weeble, who was already in a daze, he had no intention of stepping forward to stop him. Instead, he flashed and rushed towards the surviving naval cadets not far away.
“You dare!!”
When Zefa saw this scene, he shouted loudly and chased after Bakin without caring about Weevil.
Although Ba Jin looked old and hunched, her speed was extremely terrifying. In the blink of an eye, her figure flashed past the survivors, and bursts of sinister laughter rang out. The naval cadets fell to the ground one after another without even seeing the people who attacked them.
Each of them had only one wound on their neck, but even such a small wound caused these sailors to lose their lives.
As the marines fell one by one, Bakin's speed increased instead of decreasing. Even Zephyr, at his full strength, could hardly catch up.
Just after Zefa was led away by Bakin, Weevil, who had suffered a heavy blow, supported himself on the ground with his hands and slowly stood up. Zefa's attack had a significant impact on him. His head was still groggy for a long time and he was a little unsteady.
After shaking his head, Weeble's slightly blurred vision recovered. Seeing that his mother was actually "playing" with Zefa, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Mom, be careful!"
Weible kindly reminded his mother, and Bakin, who was wandering in the navy, also heard his son's cry. He flashed away from the battle formation and quickly returned to his son's back.
After chasing for a while, Zefa saw that Bakin had returned to Weeble's head, so he did not continue to pursue. Instead, he gathered dozens of survivors on the deck and guarded the trainees behind him. He looked at the mother and son not far away with murderous intent on his face.
Under Zefa's gaze, Bakin, who had returned to Weeble, suddenly leaned over and gently bit her son's neck.
I don’t know what Bakin did, but Weible’s body trembled slightly and he let out a comfortable moan.
The pain in my head disappeared and my whole body was filled with strength.
"My dear son, are you okay?"
"You must remember, you are Whitebeard's son, you can't lose!"
Bakin slowly stood up, her face pale. Even at this moment, she still patted Weeble's shoulders and brainwashed her son.
Zefa, who was not far away, could clearly sense that Weevil's aura had become stronger.
His already ugly face became even darker at this moment.
This mother and son are very strange.
Bakin's Devil Fruit ability is a mystery to the Navy. Although he is a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, the Rocks Pirates were too powerful back then, so he was just a cadre and was not taken seriously at all.
But Zefa knew very well that maybe everyone underestimated this Bajin.
This guy's fighting ability may not be that outstanding, but when she teams up with her son, her ability can be truly demonstrated.
