Chapter 1917 Battle of the North Sea (63)

However, as Zephyr gradually approached the area that was affected by the explosion, a strange feeling came over him.

He stopped and stared at the ruins around him, a feeling of déjà vu welling up in his heart.

"You guys continue the search and rescue here, I'll go check around."

Zefa said to the students around him, his voice low and serious.

"is teacher!"

The students answered in unison, and then followed Zefa's instructions and divided into groups to continue the search and rescue work.

Ze Fa Ze walked towards the center of the explosion without hesitation, as if that was his destination.

At the same time, after completing their respective tasks, Sengoku, Garp, Crane and the three admirals all rushed towards the center of the explosion like meteors chasing the moon.

When Zhan Guo and other senior generals arrived at the edge of the huge crater left by the explosion, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The pit was bottomless, as if the earth had been torn apart. The surrounding ground was destroyed beyond recognition by the impact of the explosion, with broken walls and broken rocks everywhere.

Zhan Guo's eyes widened in astonishment, and he let out an exclamation of disbelief from his throat: "This...!"

His voice trembled a little, and he was obviously shocked by the scene before him.

Garp's expression was equally solemn. He stared at the pit and muttered to himself, "What kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful!"

His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about the reason.

Akainu also said seriously: "This is definitely not something that can be achieved by human power!"

As the one with the greatest explosiveness and lethality among the three generals, he has absolute confidence in his own strength.

However, faced with such enormous destructive power, he had to admit that this was definitely not something that humans could create.

An idea suddenly flashed through Aokiji's mind, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that the World Government is hiding a huge secret. Could it be the King?"

He thought of one of the three legendary ancient weapons - the Heavenly King. It was said that this weapon had the power to destroy the world and was the most powerful weapon in the world.

I'm afraid only a being like the King of Heaven can create such tremendous power!

Aokiji's guess made many people present nod in agreement.

"The King!"

When Akainu heard this word, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Just then, a light sound of footsteps came from far away.

Everyone's attention was drawn over, and they saw Zefa walking slowly towards them.

"Marshal, this explosion feels familiar to me!"

As soon as Zefa opened his mouth, it was like a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar in an instant, and everyone present was stunned.

After hearing what Zefa said, Zhan Guo's expression suddenly changed. He immediately asked, "Zefa, what did you think of?"

Zefa didn't answer immediately, but slowly bent down, reached out and picked up a handful of dust.

He put the pinch of dust to the tip of his nose and took a deep breath, as if trying to sniff out some important information from the fine dust.

After a while, Zefa finally opened his eyes. His eyes became extremely serious. He looked at everyone and said, "No doubt about it, this is the breath of the Power Rock!"

"Power rock?"

Upon hearing this name, some generals present were very confused, as they knew nothing about this substance.

However, the expressions of Zhan Guo and He suddenly became serious, as if they had a deep understanding of the dynamic rock.

Akainu couldn't wait to ask: "What is the Power Rock?"

As a general who has not yet ascended to the throne of Admiral of the Navy, he obviously has not had access to confidential information of the Navy and is full of curiosity about this mysterious substance.

Zefa explained solemnly, "Dynamic rock is an extremely violent high explosive that only exists in the New World. Just a small bottle of it can easily destroy an island. I only came into contact with this terrifying thing by chance during a mission decades ago."

"A new world again!"

Garp, Aokiji and others couldn't help but exclaim.

The new world seems to hide many unknown secrets and dangers, and the appearance of the power rock is even more shocking.

Zhan Guo muttered to himself: "Dynamic rock..."

His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously very worried about the existence of this substance.

This thing seems to be strictly blocked by the World Government, and there is almost no news about it circulating in the outside world.

Zefa glanced at Zhan Guo, their eyes met, and they could each feel the worry in each other's heart.

"Marshal, a confidentiality agreement was signed at the time, so this matter was not reported!"

Zefa said with a serious expression.

After hearing this, Zhan Guo instantly understood what Zefa meant. He nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Zhan Guo glanced around at the senior executives present, then said solemnly, "We're all family here. I hope everyone can keep what I just said to themselves!"

His gaze lingered on everyone for a moment, especially on Akainu for a few seconds longer.

Crane, Garp, and Aokiji all nodded without hesitation, indicating that they would keep their promise.

After Akainu exchanged glances with Sengoku, he slowly nodded.

Seeing Akainu nod, Zhan Guo felt a little relieved.

Ever since Akainu started participating in the selection of the next Marine Admiral, Sengoku has paid more attention to him.

Moreover, Akainu secretly gained the support of the Five Elders, which made Sengoku even more wary of him.

However, Zhan Guo could not express these concerns directly. After all, they were all colleagues, and he could not easily attack Akainu without solid evidence.

Therefore, Zhan Guo always kept these thoughts deep in his heart and did not show any abnormality on the surface.

But this time, Zefa actually took the initiative to expose the matter, which made Zhan Guo realize that the situation might be a little bad.

He decided it would be better to be cautious so as not to get involved in unnecessary trouble.

"Whether this was caused by the World Government themselves or there's something else going on, we shouldn't care. Sometimes, it's better to be ignorant!"

Zhan Guo's voice echoed at the edge of the pit, and his eyes swept over the crowd, as if trying to see some clues from their faces.

Everyone was silent, and Zhan Guo's words made them fall into deep thought.

Crane, Garp, Zeff, Akainu, and Kizaru all nodded slowly, expressing their agreement with Sengoku's point of view.

However, when Zhan Guo's eyes fell on Aokiji, Aokiji's movements were a little slow. He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Zhan Guo sighed inwardly.
