A gust of wind swept through Marineford, making the coats of both Zephyr and Chiga flap loudly in the breeze.
Zephyr's tense posture suddenly relaxed. He looked at Chiga across from him and chuckled.
"Chiga, your strength has far exceeded my expectations. Honestly, the rank of admiral might be too small a seat for you."
Chiga rested his arms on his hips and smiled back.
"On the contrary, I think your current state, Teacher Zephyr, is more than enough to serve as an admiral again."
They both laughed heartily, as if they hadn't been trading fierce blows just moments before.
After the laughter faded, Zephyr rolled his neck and tossed his Marine coat aside, slowly unbuttoning his inner shirt.
"I've had enough of that title," Zephyr said as he worked the buttons. "It's better left to the younger generation. Now I just want to see your full strength, Chiga."
With the last button undone, Zephyr shed his shirt, revealing a body of iron-hard muscle glistening under the sun.
Taking the hint, Chiga threw off his own Marine coat and began unbuttoning as well. He knew—Zephyr was about to go all-out.
Zephyr let out a deep shout, and his body began to swell with power. Muscles bulged, veins rose, and dense black hair sprouted across his form. A pair of gray horns curled out from his head, etched with the same black patterns as a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
Thick bone armor formed over his shoulders, glowing faintly milky-white in the sunlight.
This was the power of the Bull Demon King Fruit, and Zephyr had entered his hybrid form.
Twin jets of white steam hissed from his now-bovine nostrils, and he grinned, showing off rows of sharp white teeth on a bull-like face.
His voice came deep and booming.
"I've waited a long time, Chiga. This is the hybrid form of the Bull Demon King Fruit. How do I look?"
Chiga raised an eyebrow. To be fair, Zephyr's form was imposing… but also hard to look at. A man's face twisted into a bull's snout wasn't exactly handsome.
Still, as his student, Chiga gave a reluctant thumbs up.
"Looks badass!"
"Bullshit!" Zephyr barked.
A question mark practically floated above Chiga's head. Did he say something wrong?
Zephyr scoffed. "You think I've never looked in the mirror? There's nothing badass about this face. Be honest with your teacher, you brat!"
Chiga sighed inwardly. Should've just told the truth...
Not wanting to argue, he activated the powers of his Asura Fruit, his body swelling with power, taking on a fearsome multi-armed, muscular form resembling a wrathful god.
Zephyr nodded in approval.
"So that's the power of the Asura Fruit. Impressive! Come—show me what it can really do!"
With a thunderous stomp, Zephyr sent a massive crack racing across the battlefield toward Chiga.
But Chiga wasn't grounded. Using his Heavenly Path technique, he soared into the air, where four of his arms transformed into laser cannons and began raining energy blasts down on Zephyr.
Zephyr's brow furrowed at the intense barrage. The attack reminded him of someone else—an old comrade who once wielded similar lasers.
What he didn't know was that Kaido had the exact same thought when Chiga first unleashed these lasers.
Planting his arms on the ground, Zephyr summoned a massive wall of reinforced earth. A swirling black pattern—like those on his horns—was etched into its surface.
BOOM!
The lasers pounded the earthen shield, kicking up a storm of dust. Zephyr narrowed his eyes—he could feel the wall buckling.
It wasn't just any wall. The Bull Demon King Fruit granted him control over the earth element, boosting its durability far beyond steel.
And yet, even that couldn't withstand Chiga's lasers.
Finally, the wall gave out, crumbling into a spray of shattered rock and dust.
But before the blasts could reach him, Zephyr absorbed loess from the ground and shaped it into hardened earth armor across his entire body. He raised both arms to guard his head as the next wave of lasers slammed into him, cloaking him in smoke and destruction.
When the smoke cleared, Zephyr remained standing—battle-worn but still upright. His earthen armor was cracked and crumbling, and points of light flickered across his body where the lasers had struck.
Chiga landed softly on the ground. Seeing Zephyr's condition, he winced.
Why does this feel familiar? …Did I just recreate that moment with Kizaru?
He hadn't meant to injure Zephyr this badly. Worry crept in—should he step in and help?
But Zephyr wasn't done yet.
Lowering his arms, he suddenly dropped onto all fours. His muscles surged again, and in mere moments, he transformed into a towering black bull, fully beastified, armored in dense bone plating.
This was Zephyr's final form—the complete beast transformation of the Bull Demon King Fruit.
He had realized the gap between their powers. Now he intended to settle it in one final strike.
His horns turned pitch-black as he channeled Armament Haki into them. The raw force was staggering.
This was no longer "Black Arm Zephyr."
This was Black Bull Zephyr.
Steam burst from his nostrils as he locked his massive eyes onto Chiga, pawed the ground like a raging beast—and then shot forward like a black bolt of lightning.
Chiga understood.
He raised his right hand. From it surged a violet-black destructive weapon, pulsing with overwhelming energy.
He met Zephyr's charge head-on.
BOOOOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion shook all of Marineford.
Back in his office, Sengoku nearly dropped his teacup from the sheer force of it. Scalding tea splashed across his lap.
He stared at the spreading stain on his trousers, stunned—then bolted to the window.
His eyes widened.
Far in the distance, where the training ground had once been, a towering mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
