Behind him, Zephyr, who had just stood up, felt a sharp shock in his heart at the sight and frantically shouted at the group of trainee marines:
"Get out of the way!!"
Even from a distance, the slash Weevil unleashed made him feel a sense of threat, let alone the marines under his command.
If that slash landed on them, would they even survive?
However, at that moment, he could only shout to warn them; he wasn't fast enough, and the distance was too great for him to get over there and block that attack for them.
On the other side, the many marines also sensed a strong threat and turned their heads in unison.
What met their eyes was a slash that seemed capable of shattering everything.
!!
In an instant, everyone felt as if their hearts skipped a beat; even though it hadn't approached yet, the terrifying pressure radiating from the slash already filled them with dread.
They all frantically tried to flee, but the slash was too fast. The marines near the edge might escape its range, but those right at the center of the attack weren't so lucky.
"No!"
Zephyr couldn't help but roar in the distance, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes wide with rage.
Watching his students about to be killed while being powerless to stop them tore at his heart like a knife.
The slash drew closer and closer to the group of trainee marines, one hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters...
Just as it was about to tear through them, a bolt of purple lightning came streaking across the sky and appeared in front of the slash in an instant.
Boom——
The slash seemed to collide with something, immediately unleashing a massive shockwave that sent a large group of marines flying.
Rocks and debris scattered, and dust filled the air.
!!
This sudden development stunned everyone for a moment, and it wasn't until a few seconds later, when a thunderous boom echoed, that their thoughts snapped back.
In the distance, the worry had completely vanished from Zephyr's face, and a smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You brat, you sure arrived just in time!"
With that distinctive purple lightning and the accompanying thunderclap, there was no need to guess who it was.
"Whew~"
Zephyr couldn't help but let out a long breath, both because the slash hadn't harmed his marines and because he no longer had to worry about safety.
Since Kyle was here, what was there to worry about?
After all, Kyle's strength had long since surpassed his; dealing with someone like Weevil was no challenge at all.
While some relaxed, others naturally tensed up!
Weevil was now staring intently at the swirling dust ahead, as if he could see the figure within.
He sensed an extremely dangerous presence inside.
And his slash could advance no further; despite its continuous burst of power, it couldn't budge an inch.
Boom——
As another shockwave dispersed, the dust was blown away, revealing the figure within.
When the situation became clear, Weevil's pupils dilated even more.
What he saw was an extraordinarily handsome young man calmly pinching his slash with just one hand.
That's right, he had blocked his attack with nothing more than a single hand.
The next moment, Kyle's hand suddenly clenched, and the slash was crushed by the immense force, unleashing another shockwave.
He lifted his gaze, looking towards Weevil not far away.
His form flickered, instantly vanishing from the spot; as purple lightning flashed, Kyle appeared before Weevil.
Purple Lightning had also materialized in his hand at some point.
"Keichitsu!"
The faint sound of Kyle's voice escaped his lips as lightning flashed, and Kyle reappeared several dozen meters behind Weevil.
Weevil, however, seemed frozen in place, maintaining his pose without moving an inch.
A moment later~
The sound of tearing flesh was heard, followed by a scream from Weevil as a line of blood burst open across his chest. The wound stretched from top to bottom, covering almost half his torso, with blood gushing out endlessly, flesh and blood in a mess.
This wound looked far more severe than the one he had inflicted on Zephyr earlier.
Pwah!
Another gush of blood spewed from his mouth as he kept shouting:
"It hurts, it hurts! Mama, it hurts so much!!"
He even started rolling on the ground, trying to alleviate the physical pain.
But Kyle didn't care what he was trying to do. Turning around, he slashed his blade again.
A purple crescent beam shot out, racing towards Weevil.
Although Weevil was simple-minded, having reached this level of strength meant his instincts weren't dull. The moment he sensed the threat, he immediately rolled to the side.
He managed to dodge Kyle's slash.
The immense sense of danger also jolted Weevil fully awake, and he quickly got to his feet to face Kyle.
But what he saw was a dense, countless mass of purple crescent beams filling nearly half his field of vision.
These beams covered a wide area; Weevil couldn't escape their range.
He could only desperately raise his naginata to block, but it was useless.
Even the Weevil from ten years in the future wouldn't be a match for the current Kyle, considering that future Weevil was also defeated by Ryokugyu, and Kyle believed his current strength was definitely not inferior to Ryokugyu's.
So, forget about the current Weevil, with his mere Admiral candidate level strength—who did he think he was fooling?!
He only managed to hold on for a short while before he could no longer withstand the assault. Beam after beam struck his body, lines of blood bursting open continuously as wounds appeared across his chest.
"Weevil!!"
Stussy couldn't help but cry out loudly at the sight, then immediately turned her head to look at Kyle:
"Kyle, we surrender, we surrender!!"
"Take us to Impel Down, please, just don't kill Weevil!"
Stussy's heart was filled with terror; she hadn't expected Kyle to appear here.
Although it was her first time seeing Kyle, she had learned of his reputation long ago.
The earliest was when he defeated Moria, and two years later, he had even defeated pirates she was very familiar with, like Wang Zhi and Shiki.
As a fellow former member of the Rocks Pirates, she naturally knew the strength of executives like Wang Zhi and Shiki.
Especially Shiki, who had once been the third-in-command of the Rocks Pirates.
Apart from Rocks and Whitebeard, he was the strongest.
Although many years had passed, and no one knew if Shiki's strength had declined as severely as Zephyr's, who could say for sure?
In any case, the fact that he could defeat Wang Zhi and Shiki proved his strength was not to be underestimated.
And the current situation certainly confirmed that.
Her son was like a toy before him, completely unable to put up any resistance.
Such a massive gap in power left her with no will to fight back; she only wanted to save her son's life!
Even going to Impel Down was fine!
But that was what she thought; Kyle didn't see it that way.
Kyle's gaze turned towards her, his eyes filled with indifference.
"Surrender?"
"Sorry, but Impel Down doesn't have a cell for you to sleep in!!"
