"His Highness's established power classification?", A trace of surprise flashed in Sora's eyes, but thinking of how Rosse differed from others, she quickly understood.
'This kind of thing is indeed something Rosse would do.'
"Saint Rosse divided power into S to G, a total of eight stages," Zephyr was mostly focused on the battle in the distance, casually dealing with incoming beasts, while speaking offhandedly, "G level corresponds to ordinary people, F level corresponds to ordinary marines and regular pirates, E level corresponds to Marine Headquarters Ensigns, only at this stage do they begin to grasp some combat skills."
"D level corresponds to Headquarters Lieutenant Commanders, those who've learned the basics of the Six Powers, and swordsmen starting to touch the concept of cutting iron are included."
"C level corresponds to Headquarters Rear Admirals, those who can skillfully use the Rokushiki, swordsmen at the swordmaster level, and those beginning to access Haki, these all fall in this tier."
"B level corresponds to Headquarters Vice Admirals, possessing refined combat styles, physical strength reaching the limit of ordinary humans, and have one or both types of Haki: Observation and Armament."
"An ordinary person without talent, after countless life-and-death tempering, the final limit is B level," Zephyr stated calmly.
"B level? Since B level is the limit of ordinary people, from what you're saying, strong individuals at this level seem to be not many," Sora asked curiously.
"B level is the limit of ordinary humans, but how many can truly reach the limit?", Zephyr smiled self-deprecatingly, 'The limit of humanity isn't something you reach just by deciding to. Without enduring trials of near-death countless times, there's no opportunity to reach that limit.'
And whether through endless battles or extreme harsh training, most will likely die along the way.
Those who can truly reach B level strength simply can't be considered ordinary people, they're the elites among humans.
"That's indeed true...", Sora nodded lightly, deeply agreeing.
After all, humans are complicated creatures. Even knowing the path leads to the limit, if the journey is too hard, few can persist to the end.
Not to mention most die halfway, those who give up midway aren't few either.
"Then what about the giants?", Sora looked toward the distance, where she saw Brogy unable to withstand Rosse's attacks, stumbling backward.
Clearly, even in a direct clash, Rosse held the upper hand against Brogy.
Sora knew well that Devil Fruit powers were Rosse's trump card. She had seen many of Zephyr and Rosse's sparring sessions over the past days, so she was very aware of this.
"The giant race is blessed by nature. They reach B level strength just by growing up. Among them, standouts like these two giants, according to Saint Rosse's assessment, possess at least A level strength, and are even strong among A levels," Zephyr stated calmly.
"What kind of existence is A level?", Sora wasn't surprised that Rosse could easily suppress an A level. That was her chosen one, after all.
In her heart, Rosse was always the strongest one. Even if he might seem a bit young now, in the future he would definitely stand at the top of the world.
"A level is a height ordinary people can never reach. Those who can reach this level are all monsters with talent riding the seas. For them, numbers are meaningless. Every one of them is a powerhouse riding the tides of the ocean."
Zephyr grinned widely, openly admiring A-level powerhouses.
According to Rosse's classification, in an era when the Marine is in decline, A-levels could all serve as Admirals.
But even though it's now an era of flourishing pirates, the Marine is also at its peak. There are quite a few powerhouses above A level.
"Those famed across the New World, though not legends, should be at this level," Sora was quick to catch on and soon realized this.
People like Roger or Whitebeard were surely in the highest S level. Slightly lesser pirates, and people like Gion, should be around the A level range.
"That's right. If B level is the limit most normal humans can reach, then A level is the limit for most people with talent. As for the so-called S level, only true monsters can reach that," Zephyr couldn't help but sigh, looking off into the distance.

Unlike himself, who barely made it through desperate effort, Rosse was, in his eyes, a bona fide monster.
In just one year, he had watched Rosse grow from having only C level strength to now possessing S level strength.
If not for still lacking a bit in combat experience and technique, even he wouldn't be Rosse's match.
Just give Rosse a bit more time, and surpassing him would be an easy matter.
"His Highness is that kind of powerhouse, right?", Sora understood the hidden meaning in Zephyr's words and smiled brightly.
"Exactly. He's an impeccable monster," Zephyr nodded seriously, "Even Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom can't compare to him."
"Why those two? Isn't Whitebeard and Roger even stronger?", Sora asked curiously.
"I've fought both Whitebeard and Roger. Their physical strength is just the foundation, their true strength lies in their technique. Whitebeard even combined the Gura Gura fruit with Conqueror's Haki coating, and that's why he earned the title of the strongest at the time," Zephyr shook his head and continued explaining, "Kaido and Big Mom are the strongest human physiques I've seen. According to Rosse's classification, Big Mom was born with an S-level body. Kaido at birth was at least A level."
"There are people like that?", Sora found it a bit unbelievable.
Even knowing that the world had many strong individuals, to be born an S-level monster still felt a bit overpowered.
"Then why isn't Big Mom the strongest?", Sora found it odd, 'Though Big Mom is currently referred to as one of the quasi-rulers of the New World, shouldn't such a powerhouse be even more famous?'
"Because she never learned combat techniques and purely relies on her physique to fight," Zephyr grinned, "In terms of physicality alone, I'm no match for her, but if we really fought, she wouldn't be able to defeat me."
That's what he said, but Zephyr knew in his heart that he probably couldn't do much against Big Mom either.
With Big Mom's bug-level body constitution, he couldn't kill her. At most, he could suppress and restrain her, maybe use terrain to trap her.
"To be that strong just from physique… truly a monster," A different kind of light sparkled in Sora's eyes. After being trained by Rosse, she had developed quite a few dangerous ideas.
If she could obtain Big Mom's lineage factor, extract the portion related to physical constitution, and apply it to Rosse or Gion, then maybe their strength would leap forward.
'Kaido and Big Mom...', Sora silently memorized these two names.
'If I remember correctly, hubby will soon be heading to Wano, just in time to make trouble for Kaido.'
'With this event, maybe I can really get some experimental material.'
