In an instant, the two moving figures each swung their sword.
In the clash, people already noticed the tangled energy between them.
"Hmm? This makes it hard to tell who is 'Driven'."
On the edge of the North Sea, Zephyr stood on a Marine warship with his hands behind his back.
He looked up, watching the distant, swirling weather phenomena, which showed that two of the world's top swordsmen were fighting.
Originally, after making a deal with "Driven," he wanted to use this information to figure out who "Driven" was in the real world. Zephyr believed that the Twilight Hermit Society would rule the future world, so it was necessary to prepare to fight them early.
Especially...
There should also be pirates in the Twilight Hermit Society!
So he couldn't show mercy just because they were fellow members of the Twilight Hermit Society. If any of them were actually pirates, Zephyr would kill them!
"Marine Hunter and Red-Haired Shanks, huh? Well, no matter who is 'Driven,' they're going to die today."
Zephyr said coldly.
He didn't go directly to the Land of Music, only letting a mirror image sneak in to investigate, and that was for a reason.
If he went there openly, he might reveal his identity as "Mirror."
But lately, he wasn't that worried, because he could now even use magnetic force to change some of his appearance.
He didn't know if "Driven" had the same idea, but he did.
He lured "Driven" to the North Sea using information about the Ice Snow Demon, hoping to figure out his identity.
But he was surprised that two people came, Red-Haired Shanks and Hawkeye Jora Keel Mihawk. Both of them were pirates, so they both deserved to die!
Even if one of them was "Driven," a member of the Twilight Hermit Society, it didn't matter. Adam never said that infighting was forbidden in the Twilight Hermit Society when he recruited them.
So, if he killed them, would he get their Hermit cards?
If one of them was "Driven," and he killed him, would Adam take back his "Driven" card, or would he get it?
If he could get the "Driven" card, his power would definitely increase again.
Just like the "Mirror" card, the strong power inside the Hermit card had helped him a lot, so what would happen if he got more Hermit cards?
If he could get more of these cards, he'd be closer to his dream of wiping out pirates from the world.
The fight...
Continued.
And judging from the weather, the fight would go on for a very long time.
Zephyr didn't expect two pirates to have a duel. He just came to confirm "Driven's" identity, and if he turned out to be a pirate, Zephyr believed he could handle it.
But now, he hadn't even confirmed "Driven's" identity and he saw Shanks and Mihawk dueling. If he had known this was going to happen, he would have called for some of the Marine's top fighters.
Even if he didn't call An and Ah Xing, the two Admirals, he should have at least called Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino.
In the New World, pirates ran wild, and the Marines had little control over them. But in the Four Seas...
The Marines had a lot more control.
But it was too late to call them now.
"Well, just the two of them; I can still handle it myself."
Zephyr's power now...
Was very strong!
He was depressed for a while, but then he joined the Twilight Hermit Society, got the "Mirror" card, and got the Emperor's Supreme Book. He realized that his Armament Haki was nothing compared to the magnetic force in the Emperor's Supreme Book.
But they were both kinds of energy, life energy. With his original foundation, his magnetic force progressed quickly.
Now, he was stronger than he was at his peak, much stronger!
But when he followed the weather signs to the island, he realized he was wrong.
Completely wrong...
"Whitebeard..."
Zephyr frowned as he looked at the fluttering pirate flag.
Why was Whitebeard here too?
Whitebeard was the strongest pirate on the sea today.
When Roger was alive, he dominated everyone, not just pirates, but even the Marines were suppressed by the Roger Pirates.
But under Roger, there were also several great pirates.
After Roger died, they became the symbols of piracy.
One of them was Whitebeard...
"Damn it! What are those people at headquarters doing?!" Zephyr was furious, and he shouted at the Marines around him, "Whitebeard came to the North Sea, and Marine headquarters didn't even know?!"
The Marines trembled, but to be honest, the Marines didn't pay too much attention to where these great pirates went.
As long as the great pirates weren't meeting each other, it didn't matter if they went to the Four Seas.
Zephyr understood this, but he couldn't help being angry, because this was a great chance to wipe out two great pirates, but Whitebeard might ruin it.
Zephyr didn't believe that Whitebeard was just watching Shanks and Mihawk fight.
Anyway, Zephyr forced down his anger and jumped up, flying straight toward the Whitebeard Pirates.
He was calculating his chances of beating Whitebeard.
(In the Great Pirate Era, Whitebeard hasn't fought much. If he only has the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he's nothing to worry about. But he had a Shikon Jewel shard from the start, so how could he not have improved by now?)
Whitebeard was one of the first people to get a Shikon Jewel shard, and Zephyr knew that Shikon Jewel shards were attracted to each other, or that people with Shikon Jewel shards could better sense where other Shikon Jewel shards were.
So, after all these years, did Whitebeard still only have one Shikon Jewel shard?
Zephyr hated pirates, but he wasn't blinded by hate.
Thinking this, he flew off toward Whitebeard's pirate ship.
He didn't know why Whitebeard was here, but he'd at least test his power.
Thinking this, Zephyr arrived on Whitebeard's ship.
"Zephyr, long time no see. You've changed a lot."
He landed on Whitebeard's ship from the air, and Whitebeard seemed to know he was coming, sitting in his seat waiting.
Seeing Zephyr's arrival, Whitebeard was a little emotional.
Since Roger died, he rarely saw anyone from that era anymore.
Whitebeard was quite moved by how much Zephyr had changed.
