One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 26 You will become a symbol of justice!
"of course not."

In response to Zefa's question.

Roy's answer was resolute.

What kind of ability user? He's not an ability user!
Old man, don't talk nonsense!

“This is my talent, Admiral Zephyr.”

He said it without changing his expression.

“I have a naturally keen sense of perception – I can sense certain special things in the natural environment, such as moisture in the air and invisible fluctuations in the air.”

He said so.

Smoker, standing to the side, then gave a subtle look.

Because Roy had told him the same thing before, and he tried to learn the Hadouken from Roy to feel the so-called 'invisible wave'.

Unfortunately, he didn't learn anything from it.

"fluctuation?"

And clearly, Zephyr was in the same boat at that moment.

The former general, a master of physical skills and known for his domineering presence, frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

But seeing this scene, Roy remained calm.

Because Roy knew very well.

As his Devil Fruit abilities grew stronger, the variety of his abilities also increased.

Even if he tries his best to hide it, he will inevitably gradually reveal his unusual behavior.

Zephyr is definitely not the only one with similar questions.

Therefore, Roy had already made plans.

Rather than pretending to be an ordinary person and then having someone discover that something is wrong with you.

He should have shown some things from the beginning.

This is also why he didn't hide his 'Hadouken' when he faced Smoker before.

As for whether Zephyr would believe him at this moment...
"I see."

That is inevitable.

"To think he has such talent... that's truly remarkable."

At that moment, Zephyr uttered such a sigh.

That's right.

He was only briefly surprised by Roy's words before he stopped doubting them.

As for the reason, Roy was well aware of it.

"Ivankov can blast rocks open by winking."

“MISS. Golden Week can control people’s minds and actions through painting with pigments, and can even be used to enhance objects, which is more amazing than Devil Fruit abilities.”

"The fur tribe is naturally able to control static electricity and has a unique 'moon lion' form."

"Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, was able to kill a legendary hero of the giant race when she was still a child. Even without Haki, her body is terrifyingly strong."

"Not to mention the various special races. Almost every one of them has unique abilities."

This is the reason.

In this world of pirates, on this vast ocean teeming with powerful figures.

There are countless geniuses with 'special talents'.

And what Roy is playing at this moment is just one of them.

Therefore, for a powerful individual like Zephyr with broad knowledge and a wide perspective, he wouldn't have much doubt about it.

After all, isn't Zephyr himself a 'monster' who can become an admiral?

Of course, the only problem is...
With the 'talent' that Roy has shown this time, he is exceptional even among this group of geniuses on the high seas.

It was even enough to make Zephyr admire it.

"Your physical strength and vitality are so strong that they seem completely inhuman. Coupled with your talent, I even suspect that you might be a descendant of some special race?"

Even now, this former admiral has begun to dream.

"The ability to sense the fluctuations in the air and create this unique style of boxing demonstrates your strong combat intuition and physical talent."

“You just said you can sense the moisture in the environment, which is the key to the Fish-Man race’s ‘Fish-Man Karate,’ which means you have the potential to learn it.” “By the way, in Wano Country, there is also a ‘Foxfire Style’ that can cut flames in the air with a sword. It also requires a subtle sense of the surrounding environment, and you have a talent for that as well.”

"besides."

He murmured about some special martial arts styles he knew and looked at Roy.

"A monstrous physique and vitality, innate perception and talent for learning and developing various physical skills, and he is not even an ability user."

"Perfect, absolutely perfect."

Zefa murmured, his expression becoming even more serious.

Then, the general looked intently at Roy, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Roy—you lad, come and become my disciple."

As soon as these words came out.

The training ground fell silent for a moment.

disciple?

Upon hearing Zephyr's words, Roy was also taken aback: "General Zephyr, didn't Lieutenant General Bilos originally arrange for me to train with you?"

Smoker also frowned in confusion.

But at that moment, an unprecedented look of surprise flashed across Binz's face.

He looked at Zefa incredulously, as if trying to ascertain the truth of his words.

But at this moment, Zephyr's words confirmed Binz's guess: "No, that's not what I meant."

He looked at Roy: "I have indeed taught many disciples in my life, and they are all students I am proud of."

"But unfortunately, no one has been able to truly inherit my mantle so far, not even the most outstanding ones. Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, none of them can do it."

“But, Loy Amos—you have that talent.”

He stretched out his hand and grinned broadly.

"Therefore, I hope you will leave the detention center and come to my side—I will teach you properly, and then we will go together to defeat those pirates!"

When he spoke of pirates, a calm yet utterly cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, aside from Binz, who seemed to have known about it all along...

Roy and Smoker were almost completely stunned.

Smoker, in particular, had by now understood.

The disciples Zefa referred to were not the students he taught as an instructor.

Rather, they are the true disciples who inherit his power and martial arts style.

This concept is completely different.

It's worth noting that Zephyr's status within the Navy can be described as having "students all over the world."

The admiral and naval hero were his old friends, the three admirals were his disciples, and almost all of the navy's most elite vice admirals had been trained by him.

It can be said that unless Zephyr betrays the Navy, Roy, as his disciple, will inevitably inherit all of these relationships in the future.

But will 'Black Arm' Zephyr betray the Navy?

Smoker wouldn't even consider the possibility—if it happened, he'd just chew and swallow the cigar in his breast pocket.

So even he couldn't help but sigh, "Roy is really lucky."

But it was precisely during this time that Smoker was pondering these thoughts.

"."

Roy, upon hearing Zefa's words, also frowned.

After a moment, he asked, "General Zefa, when you said I have talent, were you referring to my physical body?"

Judging from Zefa's reaction just now, he could easily guess this.

"Yes."

Zefa nodded without hesitation: "The true essence of the physical techniques I created requires a monstrous body and vitality to master."

"And your talent is very likely to make you surpass me in the future."

He looked at Roy, his words revealing the deepest longing.

"At that time, you will become the symbol of justice on this vast sea."
