One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Skip to Chapter 397, Zephyr's Legend Part 1

This strike was as fast as lightning, as swift as a meteor, and as powerful as thunder, striking straight at her neck with overwhelming force! With a crisp "crack," her cervical vertebrae snapped, as fragile as porcelain!

Her head seemed to lose its support, instantly losing all strength, drooping limply to one side, as if completely detached from her body. Her once lively eyes were now empty and lifeless, no longer able to perceive anything around her.

In an instant, Baggins Stussy's world seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness. Her consciousness gradually blurred and eventually dissipated completely. She was thus utterly powerless against Aini's slaying, dead beyond any doubt.

As Aini watched the scene unfold before him, a subtle smile crept onto his lips. He thought to himself, "With Baggins Stussy and Weevil on my side, my chances of persuading Zephyr will definitely skyrocket."

To be honest, Aini actually admired someone like Zephyr quite a bit. After all, to be able to control such powerful strength without relying on special methods, solely through one's own ability and charisma, is no easy feat.

However, if Zephyr continues to cause trouble as before after he has done everything he should, then he shouldn't blame him for using some special methods.

After all, in this world full of competition and conflicting interests, sometimes it is inevitable to take some unconventional methods in order to achieve one's goals.

......

Deep in the distant ocean stands a magnificent building—the Naval Academy. However, it is no longer just a place for training naval personnel; it has taken on a new name—the Newborn Navy (NEO Navy) Headquarters.

It all started with Zephyr, the former admiral and now the commander-in-chief of the "NEO Navy." With his unique vision and courage, he led a group of like-minded people down a path that was different from others.

The members of the Newborn Navy (NEO Navy) were originally an external guerrilla unit of the Navy Headquarters. They were all outstanding graduates of the Naval Academy, possessing solid professional knowledge and excellent combat skills. Although they were externally organized within the Navy Headquarters, they also made outstanding contributions to the World Government Navy.

However, Zephyr was not content with merely existing as an external force. He firmly believed that only by establishing a completely independent civilian naval organization could he better realize his ideals and goals. Thus, through his efforts, the "NEO Navy" came into being.

The leader of the "NEO Navy" is none other than Zephyr, known as "Black Arm." This 74-year-old man has vanquished countless pirates throughout his life, yet he has never killed a single enemy. His "no-killing" philosophy has earned him an extremely high reputation within the Navy and made him a role model for many young Marines.

Now, as the commander-in-chief of the "NEO Navy," Zephyr shoulders even greater responsibilities. He not only has to lead this nascent naval force but also face pressure and challenges from all sides. But he is fearless because he believes that as long as he adheres to his beliefs, he will surely be able to create a better future.

When Zeffa was young, he had an endless admiration for heroes. One day, he witnessed a group of thugs bullying a little girl who was clutching a teddy bear. This scene deeply touched Zeffa's sense of justice, and he stepped forward without hesitation, bravely engaging in a fierce fight with the thugs.

Despite his young age, Zeffa displayed extraordinary courage and fighting skills. Ultimately, he successfully defeated the thugs and protected the little girl. This experience further solidified Zeffa's determination to become a hero.

Time flies, and Zephyr is now 14 years old. In order to realize his dream, he resolutely applied to the Naval Academy and became a classmate of Garp (18 years old at the time), Sengoku (19 years old), and Tsuru (17 years old).

During his time at the naval academy, Zephyr studied diligently, constantly improving his skills. At the age of 18, he faced his first real combat test. Facing a real enemy, Zephyr showed no fear, fully utilizing his combat abilities and successfully completing the mission.

As time went on, Zephyr's strength gradually increased. At the age of 28, he was promoted to corporal for his outstanding performance and mastered the powerful combat skill of the Six Styles of the Navy.

At 34 years old, Zephyr was already a master of Armament Haki. He could easily use "Armament Haki Hardening" with his hands, which made him invincible in battle, thus earning him the title of "Black Arm" Zephyr.

At the age of 38, Zephyr, thanks to his outstanding combat achievements and strength, successfully rose to the rank of Admiral, becoming a top figure in the Navy. That same year, he also experienced another important moment in his life—his marriage.

However, happy times are always fleeting. At 39, Zephyr's son was born, a moment that should have been filled with family bliss. Tragically, his family was massacred in a pirate attack. This tragedy forever altered Zephyr's life, filling him with endless hatred for pirates.

Disheartened, Zephyr decided to resign as admiral, but his superiors highly valued his abilities and contributions and tried their best to persuade him to stay. Ultimately, Zephyr chose to retain his admiral rank and instead become a naval instructor, hoping to cultivate more outstanding naval personnel.

During his time as an instructor, Zephyr welcomed his first class of students, including outstanding talents who would later become Marine Admirals, such as Akainu (23 years old) and Kizaru (26 years old).

At the age of 44, he meticulously nurtured his third class of students, including the 19-year-old Aokiji. Time flies, and at 50, he continued to train many outstanding naval personnel, many of whom became renowned vice admirals.

However, fate played a cruel trick on him at the age of 65. The training ship he was leading was fiercely attacked by a pirate, and this sudden disaster cost him too much. His beloved students, except for Ain and Binz, were all brutally murdered, and he himself suffered an extremely serious injury to his right arm.

The pain did not break him. At the age of 70, with the help of scientists, he transformed his right arm into a mechanical arm equipped with seastone, named "Crusher." This powerful mechanical arm became his weapon against those with superpowers.
