Zephyr and Kizaru

One of them was wearing a white naval justice coat with gold epaulettes, a purple shirt underneath, a tie, and white trousers. His overall attire made him look extremely dignified.

He himself was tall and strong, with well-developed pectoral muscles that made his clothes stand out, short purple hair, and a tough and upright face.

The other person was also wearing a white navy justice coat, but with a yellow striped shirt underneath. Unlike the first person's tough appearance, this person's face was nothing but sleazy.

In short, it boils down to two words: sleazy!

Looking down at the purple lightning crackling around Kyle, he couldn't help but purse his lips and say:

"That lightning is terrifying! Is it the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? But I remember the lightning from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit isn't purple!"

That's right, this person is none other than Kizaru Borsalino, one of the three admirals of the Navy, and the other person is Zephyr, who is also an admiral!

Although Zephyr has been relegated to a secondary role for quite some time now, serving as the chief instructor of the Navy's elite training camp, he still retains the title of admiral and remains one of the Navy's three admirals.

Looking down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured softly:

"That little guy is... the grandson of the Sengoku period?!"

"Yes, Professor Zephyr, he's the grandson of the Sengoku period marshal. I think his name was something like... Kaeya? Or Kayle?"

"Uh, I'm getting old, I forgot!"

Kizaru scratched his head.

Zeya glanced at him and said in a low voice:

"Borsalino, as a Marine Admiral, do you look like one at all? You're just loafing around all day, doing absolutely nothing!"

Kizaru raised his hands, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Professor Zephyr, I graduated from the elite training camp so many years ago, is there any need for him to lecture me again?"

"snort!"

Zefa flicked his sleeve, turned around, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

This place wasn't far from the location of the elite training camp, so the commotion Kyle made naturally didn't escape his notice.

So he came to take a look.

Now that we've seen it all, there's no need to stay any longer. But one thing is different from before: Zephyr isn't heading towards the back of the elite training camp, but towards the Marine Headquarters office building!

After Zephyr left, Kizaru pursed his lips again, his expression becoming even more lewd.

He murmured softly as he gazed down at Kyle, who was bathed in a sea of ​​purple lightning.

"Looks like things are about to get turbulent!!"

Before he finished speaking, Kizaru's figure turned into a yellow flash and slowly disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared at all.

Kyle and Luffy below were indeed completely unaware of the appearance of Zephyr and Kizaru.

That's normal. What's Kyle's strength now? And what about Kizaru and Zephyr's?

They hadn't even awakened their Observation Haki yet, so how could they possibly sense the arrival of the two?

The purple lightning surged again for a while, then Kyle waved his hand gently, and the surrounding purple lightning vanished instantly.

He picked up the Purple Lightning again and gripped the hilt.

This time, Kyle drew the blade with ease, without any resistance.

The blade was engraved with lightning patterns, and as Kyle drew it, it emitted a dazzling purple lightning flash, crackling incessantly.

This was purely the lightning inherent in the Purple Lightning; Kyle did not activate even a fraction of the Devil Fruit's power.

He picked up the knife and brandished it several times.

Even though Kyle had never had much contact with knives before, nor had he systematically studied swordsmanship, he inexplicably didn't feel any difficulty with it.

The Purple Lightning Blade was perfectly suited to him. Although he was not skilled in swordsmanship, the famous blade seemed to possess a spirit, guiding him in its movements.

After a while, Kyle stopped what he was doing and looked at the purple lightning in his hand, liking it more and more.

He's decided; he's going to learn swordsmanship from now on!

Three of the four rewards have already been claimed, so only...

With a thought, the red light in the system space disappeared instantly, and at the same time, Kyle felt a power awaken deep within his body.

boom--

The newly awakened, fiery Conqueror's Haki swept outwards from Kyle, creating a faint shockwave.

Luffy, who was peeking out from not far away, was struck by this Conqueror's Haki. His pupils instantly turned white, he lost consciousness, and collapsed.

After a while, Kyle suddenly withdrew his Conqueror's Haki, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

While Conqueror's Haki is basically only useful for clearing out mobs before mastering advanced usage, it's an essential ability for showing off.

It's absolutely essential!

After receiving these four rewards, Kyle's strength has increased many times over compared to before.

However, he is not yet clear on the specific level he is at.

After all, there's no point of reference.

But that's not a problem at all.

At the Navy Headquarters, where powerful individuals gather, you can find opponents of all skill levels. To figure out your own strength, it's as simple as fighting a few battles.

"Since that's the case..."

A slight smile appeared on Kyle's lips.

"Let's give this Marine Headquarters a real shock!!"

Kyle had no intention of hiding his strength.

What era are we living in? Stop pretending to be weak to fool others! Don't end up actually becoming a pig yourself!

Why not showcase your strengths?

He's not without powerful backers; if anything goes wrong, Sengoku will cover for him. What's there to be afraid of?!

As for now...

Let him test his powerful physique first.

He wouldn't waste his talent like that old lady; that would be pure idiocy.

"Phew~"

Kyle let out a deep breath, and the next moment...

It's sizzling!

Its entire body was crackling with purple lightning.

The next second, a flash of lightning, and Kyle's figure vanished from the spot.

Boom—

A loud noise followed by the sound of a tree breaking, and Kyle appeared next to a tree several dozen meters away.

At this moment, Kyle was sitting on the ground, touching his head.

Beside him, a tree was broken in the middle, its edges charred black.

Kyle was familiarizing himself with his Devil Fruit ability when he lost control and crashed into a tree.

But Kyle felt no pain whatsoever.

Sure enough, having a stronger physique than other middle-aged women of the same age is truly impressive.

If it were him in the past, such a collision would have caused him pain for a while, and he might even have developed a bump that wouldn't heal for a day or two.

Kyle slowly stood up, his eyes filled with determination.

One failure doesn't mean anything; as long as there is progress, it is a success.

Given his current situation, he has a clear plan for himself.

The primary focus is on developing the fruit's abilities, while learning swordsmanship is secondary.

So, let's keep going!

It won't hurt anyway!!

Lightning flashed again, and Kyle's figure vanished once more. Then, the sound of trees snapping echoed from the other side, one after another…
