Skip Chapter 398, Ain's Life
Soon after, he decided to form a "pirate guerrilla team" to hunt down wicked pirates. His students, Ain and Binz, joined the team without hesitation and fought alongside him.
However, fate's cruel jokes seemed to continue. At 73, he received shocking news: the pirate who had severed his arm and killed many of his students had actually joined the Navy and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! This news struck him like a bolt from the blue, causing him to develop strong doubts and distrust towards the Navy.
Ultimately, he resolutely chose to leave the Navy and establish the "NEO Navy" with the goal of annihilating pirates worldwide. This organization became his new stage to realize his ideals, and he was determined to seek justice for the students who had passed away in his own way.
At the age of 74, the gears of fate began to turn, and he unexpectedly encountered Luffy, thus beginning a thrilling and intense battle.
The battle was incredibly fierce, with both sides exchanging blows and refusing to give an inch. However, amidst the intense fighting, he was gradually moved by Luffy's sincerity. Luffy's courage, sense of justice, and unwavering loyalty to his friends showed him a different side of the pirate world.
In the end, he made an astonishing decision—to cover Luffy and the others' escape. Alone, he faced the entire Marine force without flinching. His massive iron arm crusher displayed incredible power, easily defeating even a Marine giant vice admiral.
Despite his exceptional strength, his advanced age has made his arms somewhat cumbersome and his movements slightly slower. To maintain his combat readiness, he needs to take medication before each battle.
His goal is not just to defeat pirates, but to use his unparalleled Haki and mechanical arm to destroy all pirates in the world. His hatred for pirates runs deep, and he is even willing to steal the DYNA Rock to achieve his goal by destroying the world.
However, the Straw Hat crew's obstruction and the Navy's all-out attack ultimately thwarted his plans. In this life-or-death struggle, he perished on the battlefield.
His life was full of legendary stories, and his name—Zeff—along with Garp, became one of the two great legends in the Navy. His story will be told forever.
Ain, a powerful woman with the power of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit, is also a highly skilled female swordsman. Her past is full of legends and has a close connection with the great Marine Admiral Zephyr.
During Zephyr's tenure as a Marine Admiral, Ain was one of the many new recruits he trained. However, a sudden attack by ability users changed her fate. In that horrific event, many lost their lives, but Ain miraculously survived, becoming one of the few survivors.
Having survived this life-or-death ordeal, Ayn held Zeff in profound respect. She regarded him as her mentor and benefactor, willing to give everything for him, even her own life. This loyalty and respect made her Zeff's right-hand woman, playing a vital role in both battles and daily affairs.
Ain's strength should not be underestimated; she has clashed twice with the renowned pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro. In their first encounter, despite displaying formidable power, Ain ultimately came out on the defensive. However, she was not discouraged; instead, she honed her skills, eagerly anticipating her next duel with Zoro.
Finally, the second confrontation arrived. This time, Ain gave it her all, but unfortunately, she was ultimately defeated by Zorro. This defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ain, but she was not defeated by the setback. Instead, she chose to move forward and continuously improve her abilities.
After Zephyr left the Navy, Ain, along with Binz and Zephyr's other students, defected and founded the NEO Navy. In this new organization, Ain remained a core member, and her abilities and experience made significant contributions to the development of the NEO Navy.
However, within the NEO Navy, Ain also faces some challenges. Among them, the competition with Shuzo is particularly fierce. Both aspire to be Zephyr's right-hand man, and thus frequently fight each other for this position.
On one occasion, Ain and Shuzo engaged in a thrilling duel. The battle lasted for over five hours, with both fighters giving their all and refusing to yield. Ultimately, Ain skillfully utilized her Rewind-Rewind Fruit ability to successfully defeat Shuzo, thus solidifying her position within the NEO Marines.
However, after Zephyr's tragic passing, Ayn's whereabouts became an enigma, remaining unknown to all. Where did she go? Is she still tirelessly fighting for justice? These questions lingered in people's minds like a fog, sparking endless curiosity and speculation.
While everyone was speculating about Ain's whereabouts, Shuzo was secretly plotting a shocking operation—he attempted to kill the pirate Panz Frey. When Ain learned of this, she was extremely anxious and immediately warned Shuzo that doing so would seriously hinder Zephyr's plan, and the consequences of failure would be something Shuzo could not afford.
Unfortunately, Xiu Zuo ignored Ain's advice and insisted on carrying out his plan. Ultimately, Xiu Zuo's conspiracy was exposed, and he was imprisoned in the Deep Sea Impel Down. Upon learning this, Ain was filled with guilt and unease, feeling that she had failed to stop Xiu Zuo in time, leading to this outcome. She immediately reported the matter to Zephyr and expressed her willingness to bear all the consequences of Xiu Zuo's actions.
However, Zephyr reassured Ain that there was no need to worry too much, because Xiu Zuo had not leaked his plan, and he was fully prepared to proceed as planned. Hearing Zephyr's words, Ain's mood calmed down a little.
Immediately afterward, Ain and Binz followed Zephyr to begin implementing their plan. Their goal was to use the DYNA rock to detonate the lava blocks of "ENDPOINT," thereby completely destroying the entire New World. During the mission, they successfully destroyed the first lava block, but at that moment, an accident occurred—Zeff was unfortunately blown away during a fierce battle with Kizaru.
Seeing Zephyr disappear, Ain was frantic with worry. Knowing that Zephyr's safety was of paramount importance, she didn't hesitate to lead everyone in a tense search operation. They searched everywhere, leaving no stone unturned, anxiously hoping to find Zephyr as soon as possible and ensure his safety.
