face.That kind of smile, hiding sadness, despair, absurdity... it's heartbreaking to look at."Leia, she might have a pretty good life..."Gion said something comforting, even though she didn't believe...As soon as the words left his mouth, all the naval officers present were taken aback and pondered deeply.

They were all elite warriors handpicked by the Marines from every sea across the world. While their strength might not match that of monsters like Sakaski, their natural talent was undoubtedly among the highest on this vast ocean. They naturally understood what Zeff meant in his words very quickly.

Simply put, Haki may not have been initially developed as a fighting technique for combat, but rather as a comprehensive system of cultivation.

This is a set of techniques that allows cultivators to solidify their foundations, develop their physical potential, and thus master even greater power.

Darren's eyes also flashed slightly.

Teacher Ze Fa's words confirmed his inner guess about the Navy's Six Styles.

Every technique of the Navy Six Styles has extremely obvious flaws and defects when applied in actual combat.

The short-time rigidity, the excessive confidence of an iron block, the insufficient lethality of a finger gun, the damage of Raging Foot is far inferior to the chicken ribs of a swordsman's strike, the stagnation of paper drawing, the limitations of Moon Step...

Such a tactic would undoubtedly feel like a waste of time if used in actual combat.

But!

The role of the Navy Six Style in developing physical strength and potential is undeniable!

Even Darren began to wonder if the intense physical training he had undergone to build his resilience, was actually a form of forging himself like iron.

It's just that I "accidentally" trained too hard.

At its core, the Rokushiki is a method of training, not a combat technique.

For instance, push-ups are a great way for boxers to strengthen their arm muscles. However, if a boxer used push-ups to fight an opponent in the ring, it would be utterly ridiculous.

But, listening to Master Ze Fa's tone, he seemed to have some dissatisfaction with the cp department.

So listen up, don't rely too heavily on Rokushiki... In a real fight, you have to adapt to the situation flexibly.

Ze Fa smiled and then said:

And another important point is that the cultivation of Rokushiki will give you a direct relationship with developing your power further in the future, and even mastering Haki.

"This is because the cultivation of the Sixth Form of the Navy can help you break through the limits of your body and thoroughly master this power. Then, you will be able to pursue a higher realm and greater strength... By then, mastering domineering presence will be as natural as water flowing downhill."

"I believe Darren should have some thoughts on this, wouldn't you say"

Saying that, he looked at Darren with a smile encouraging.

“As you can all clearly see, Darren has already developed his body to a superhuman state that surpasses human limits. His body's defensive hardness reaches the level of 'iron block' even in its normal state...So it is quite natural that he can master Armament Haki.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Zefa's in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation shattered their previous misconceptions about "Navy Six Styles".

At first, they thought that only those who had cultivated to the level of "Superman" could perform the techniques of the Navy's Six Styles.

But in fact, that is not the case.

...But instead, through constant training in the Six Styles of the Navy... As time passes, when you master all six styles, your body breaks through to the realm of "superman."

Causation is as it should be.

Then, now, this old man will show you the Six Styles.

Ze Fa spoke in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the students. He looked at Jia Ji who was peering out curiously:

"Besides, you come and cooperate with me."

"Me"

He gestured to himself, a little hesitant.

"Yes, come on! Give me your best punch!"

Ze Fa grinned.

His face instantly became conflicted.

"Master Ze Fa... isn't this wrong"

Ze Fa puffed out his cheeks and glared:

"What's the matter, you think old man can't withstand your punch!"

"That's not the case..."

Hesitantly, he stammered with a troubled expression on his face:

"Only Ze Fa's teacher… You wouldn't lie to me, would you"

Everyone: "..."

Ze Fa: "..."

"Get out of here!!"

Ze Fa cursed angrily, then his gaze swept across the crowd again.

"Darren, come here."

Darren frowned, equally hesitant:

"Master ZeFa, are you sure"

Zefa, who had been increasingly irritated by the additions, snapped:

"Although I am retired, I am still a Fleet Admiral! Taking your punch is more than enough for me!"

"Rest assured, in order to demonstrate the specific effects, I won't use my domineering defense. Of course, you shouldn't use your domineering power either. Simply rely on your physical strength." he ordered.

"Well... okay."

Since Ze Fa said so, Darren stopped arguing and slowly walked out of the crowd.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.

They had seen the terror of Darren's power with their own eyes, a single punch collapsing an abandoned small military fort.

"As you can all see, the Marines' Rokushiki technique relies on building muscle density and strength to enhance their body's ability to withstand impact. This allows them to achieve a steel-like hardness, becoming impervious to blades and bullets."

Ze Fa let out a low growl. As blood coursed through his veins, his muscles bulged like magma, stretching his military uniform taut.

"Come on, Darren."

Darren nodded.

He took a deep breath, focusing his entire attention on the former Admiral of the Navy ten meters away. Every muscle in his body was compressed like a spring.

In previous duels, whether against Darmesia, Fire Mountain or Kuzan, he was unable to have a good, hearty physical fight.

He also wanted to test himself, with all his might, to see what kind of power he could unleash!

Crash... boom!

The ground beneath his feet seemed unable to bear the immense, ever-growing power, and visible cracks began to appear.

All eyes were wide with anticipation, holding their breath for fear of missing what was about to happen.

BOOM!!

Like a spring compressed to its limit, the ground beneath Darren exploded like a high-explosive bomb. The earth crumbled layer by layer, erupting into a gaping chasm that was truly shocking.

Propelled by the terrifying recoil, Darren shot out from his spot like a rocket, reaching incredible speeds.

This explosive force... is wrong!

Zefa's pupils constricted, and for some reason, a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

The moment his body instinctively unleashed its aura to defend itself, Seifa's gaze fell upon the expectant eyes of the students.

Zenfa's mouth twitched.

Just in that moment of stunned silence——

Boom!!

Darren's punch landed on his abdomen like a meteorite hammer.

A white wave of energy erupted behind Zefa, the powerful shockwave sending his body sliding backwards several meters before he managed to stop.

The army boots plowed two deep furrows in the ground.

Yellow sand dances.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Zefa let out a long breath and raised his head. With an unchanged expression, he smiled:

“Well, very good, quite a powerful…”

"In comparison to when I was young, I am in no way inferior."

Darren slowly exhaled a plume of air, seeing that his full-force attack had been completely ineffective. A tinge of disappointment crossed his face.

"Too strong!!"

"Master Ze Fa's iron block, it has actually been cultivated to this level!!"

"As expected of a former Fleet Admiral!!"

"He's so handsome, so cool!!"

"..."

The crowd burst into cheers and gasps of amazement.

"Hmm..."

Ze Fa smiled, and as the crowd looked at him with admiration, he slowly turned around and walked silently to the edge of the schoolyard. He paused for a moment.

Then,

Bending over.

"Ugh!!!"

The sound of a large amount of liquid gushing to the ground echoed.

Everyone: "..."

A few seconds later, Ze Fa wiped his mouth and turned back around, looking calm as he calmly said:

"Well, I ate too much for breakfast."

He calmly said:

"Alright, then, old man will now demonstrate and explain to you the Navy's Six Styles, power application techniques, and entry-level cultivation methods."

"Master Ze Fa, do I still need to cooperate" Darren asked.

"No need, the next demonstration is too dangerous. This old man fears he might injure you, and that wouldn't do."

"Oh."
