chapter 325. different generals and different pirates
At Marineland Port, Kazan and Hancock are preparing to leave for Forshat Island.
However, the person who sent them back was a guy Kazan never expected.
No wonder there was no navy to watch them all the way, because there was no need for them at all.
"Hey, are you kidding me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, pirates, get on the boat and get ready to set off."
Standing on the warship in front of Kazan and Hancock at this time was a man with purple hair and wearing a distinctive cloak of justice.
"General 'Bu Kill' sent it to us specially. He really thinks highly of us."
Kazan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at the man in front of him with a forced smile.
"Oh! Twenty years have passed, and there is still someone who still remembers me? I'm still a brat... But, kid, don't think too much, I'm just picking you up along the way."
Zefa also did not expect that it has been twenty years since he officially stepped down from the position of general and retired to serve as an instructor behind the scenes of the navy, and news about him has basically disappeared from the sea.
However, even after being transferred to the position of instructor, he still maintained the rank of admiral because of the retention of the previous navy marshal Kong. Everyone thought that there were only three admirals in the navy, but they forgot that there was this admiral who lived in seclusion behind the scenes.
The previous term Sora had a very good relationship with this term's Sengoku, so he agreed to Zefa's request and downplayed his existence so that he could live a peaceful life as an instructor in the future.
Except for some old guys who have survived to this day from the previous era, basically no pirates outside know this 'black wrist' general.
Let alone a pirate, even some of the new generation of the navy don't know this general.
Even ten years later, when Zefa attacked Dyna Rock, there were captain-level naval officers asking Garp who "z" was?
This shows how well Zefa lives in seclusion.
Perhaps the reason why Zefa lives in seclusion is to hope that the pirates who have a grudge against him will not set their sights on his still weak students.
What happened twenty years ago makes Zefa still unable to forgive his stupid behavior of not killing.
After his family was killed by pirates, he devoted all his remaining passion to teaching students.
Nowadays, all the famous admiral academies in the navy, without exception, have students from Zefa.
Even Garp, who is known as the 'Naval Hero', admits that this is a man who believes more than anyone else in the justice that the Navy endures.
It's a bit rare that Kazan, a little guy who looks like a new era guy at first glance, can still recognize him, and even heard of him being called a general when he became a general more than 20 years ago.
If he had not read the original work, Kazan would not know about Zefa, a veteran general.
He will be like Hancock at this time, feeling strange and nervous about the man in front of him who has an incredible life force.
When Zefa officially retired from the front of the Navy to behind the scenes, Kazan and Hancock were not born yet, so it was normal not to know Zefa.
"Come on board."
"Um."
Hancock glanced at Kazan, and she could hear the serious tone in Kazan's voice.
This man who has never been seen before but is known as a ‘general’ must be very strong!
As soon as they boarded the ship, Kazan knew why Zefa was sent to see them off.
Because this is a training ship for new recruits, and the training place is in the sea near Forchart Island, which is close to the first half of the park. It happens to be on the way, so there is no need to waste troops. Just let Zefa take it aboard, and there is no need to worry about trouble.
.
There are many interns on the ship, but these interns are different from ordinary recruits.
Their strength is even stronger, and when they graduate from Zefa, they will directly obtain slightly more respectable military ranks.
"How's it going? Pirates, my students are pretty good, right?"
Zefa folded his arms in front of his chest and looked at Kazan who was slightly taller than him next to him, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
If Kazan hadn't heard of his name and couldn't recognize him, maybe Zefa wouldn't pay attention to Kazan at all, because he didn't want to expose his existence.
But since Kazan knew him personally, there was no need to hide it.
It's just right to have a chat with this different pirate.
When Zefa is teaching students, he will always pay attention to the pirates on the sea, not because he is interested, or because he plans to take action.
Just to remind the students who go out to be careful who they face.
He loves his students very much.
Therefore, Zefa naturally knew about Kazan's affairs, and even heard many "unbelievable" things from Kuzan, his third-year student.
In the West Sea, the pirate group led by this pirate once had a better reputation than the navy. It never took the initiative to take action against the navy. The pirate group it destroyed despite being a pirate was no worse than a naval branch from all over the world.
This kind of pirate is just like the "non-killing" general back then.
Same, incredible.
Same, naive and a bit stupid.
"Very energetic. If nothing else happens, he will be the future of the Navy."
"Hahaha, of course, what about you? Why did you become a pirate? Are you rejected? You are not suitable to be a pirate."
"I...I don't reject the navy. I even like some of the navy. However, I have irreconcilable hatred and conflict with the World Government."
"...Is it really a world government?"
"It's a Celestial Dragon. Whether it's my ambition or my family, that kind of creature cannot survive in this world."
"Kazan!"
When Hancock heard that Kazan said such words directly in front of a naval admiral, he immediately fell into an extremely nervous state of preparation for battle.
"Dragon people... Hahahahaha! If you can really kill these cancerous people, I will use my military skills to give your pirate group the status of 'ordinary people'."
Zefa burst into laughter after hearing Kazan's words. Since his family was killed, this general has become serious about his smile.
Zefa knows better than anyone what the Tianlong people look like.
He also knows better than anyone how outsiders view the Navy.
The ‘Eagle Dog of the World Government’ can also be said to be the ‘Dog of the Celestial Dragons’.
Just because of the existence of the Celestial Dragons, the navy's justice was questioned and suspected, which made Zefa angry and helpless.
He could only place his hope on his rising students, hoping to use them to uphold the justice of the updated navy.
He can only use the methods within his power to let the navy escape from the control of the Tianlong people step by step...
And the facts proved that Zefa was indeed successful.
From the moment he became an instructor, he was successful.
His first student, 'Akainu' Sakaski later became the marshal of the navy. After being tricked by the Five Old Stars several times, he directly disobeyed the orders of the World Government over and over again and began to lead the navy with his own 'absolute justice'
.
Later, the Shichibukai system was abolished, General Justice Fujitora Yisuke joined, and a new generation of navy who upheld true justice emerged from generation to generation, and a brand new navy also appeared in this world.
This is Zefa's success.
Unfortunately, by that time, he could no longer see it.
The surrounding interns were a little surprised to see their teacher laughing heartily, and they also became curious about the content of Zefa's chat with the two pirates.
"It would be great if we could really get this kind of status for us..."
Kazan murmured a few words, feeling a little regretful about the general Zefa... in his heart.
This is one of the few men in the navy of this era who upholds true justice.
Unfortunately, too many things happened later, and a man with the mentality of a protagonist had the same fate as a villain.
Not directly degenerating into a villain is equivalent to breaking the rules.
Hancock stood aside and stared blankly at the old general...
For the first time, she knew that there were different people in the navy and that there were also sober people in the navy.
No wonder, Kazan didn't care at all that Zefa knew about his plan to destroy the Celestial Dragons.
Because, Zefa also thought about doing the same thing.
However, by the time he discovered that there was a problem with the navy, it was already too late. His strength had begun to decline, and he no longer had the chance to spend his youth and blood.
Moreover, the position and environment do not allow it.
At this time, the surrounding interns were leaning in here intentionally or unintentionally, seemingly intending to eavesdrop on what they were talking about.
Zefa frowned and his face turned dark. How come these students are becoming more naughty with each passing year?!
"Hahahahaha, do you want to join my pirate group, General Zefa! Let's do something together."
Kazan suddenly laughed and stopped talking about such topics.
"Hmph, do you want to be killed by me?"
Zefa glanced at him. He hated pirates because they killed his family.
Even if Kazan is very attractive to him, and even if Kazan's goal makes Zefa want to support him, as long as Kazan becomes a pirate one day, Zefa will not be able to make himself like him.
What happened twenty years ago made it impossible for Zefa to forgive any pirate anymore.
"It would be great if we were from the same era. Then we might become rivals and confidants, just like Roger and Garp."
"Hahahahaha, you want to get rid of my tooth decay! How dare you compare yourself with Roger?"
After listening to Kazan's words, Zefa suddenly laughed with his belly in his hands. This time, his laughter was intentional and only sarcastic on the surface.
But there is also some recognition in it, if Kazan and he are really figures of the same era.
Perhaps, it will really be as Kazan said.
"I want to become the strongest man in the world, don't underestimate me!"
"The strongest in the world? Ask that guy in Newgate if he agrees."
Zefa smiled naturally, he was in a good mood today.
He knew it ten years in advance. It turns out that there are different types of pirates.
The students around Zefa were a little curious as to why Kazan, a pirate, could talk to Zefa so normally.
Based on their understanding of their teacher, throwing Kazan and Hancock off the boat halfway was already a situation that Zefa would be in when he was in a good mood.
Originally, they were all ready to fight at any time, but now it seems they don't need to.
"Teacher Zefa! Teacher Zefa! Look, look, I succeeded! Look, I can already make others go back five years!"
Suddenly a little loli trotted over wearing a large and baggy navy suit, and pulling a shota with a runny nose who was also a smaller size beside her.
However, the young lady looks a bit older, she has sausage lips, and she is wearing a discreet colored ninja uniform, which is very strange.
"Ain! Are you torturing Binz again?"
Zefa looked at Loli and Shota who ran to him, with a headache and undetectable kindness in his eyes. This man really treated his students as children.
"..."
No wonder they are inexplicably attracted to each other.
Hancock, who was standing next to him, looked at Zefa and couldn't help but look at Kazan again. Neither of these two people probably noticed that they would show the same expression when reprimanding their children.
"Wow! You two are so cute! Do you want to be my younger brother and sister?"
Kazan swore that he absolutely hated children before, but after raising so many dolls and getting older, he found that he couldn't help but like children.
He recognized who these two children were from the beginning. They were the same Ain and Binz whom he had seen on the way to the Shichibukai Conference.
Those with the ability to regress fruits and those with the ability to flourish fruits.
The Ain and Binzi I saw at that time were two older children, one a girl and the other a boy. Kazan didn't feel much about them.
But now, she is nothing more than a little baby, only about ten years old.
Kazan reached out and took the two little guys into his arms directly under Zefa's eyes.
Zefa just watched helplessly. Although he did not stop him, he was definitely keeping an eye on Kazan. As long as Kazan did anything bad, Zefa would definitely kill Kazan immediately.
Although after just getting along, Zefa had a pretty good impression of Kazan, and Kuzan had previously said what kind of man Kazan was.
However, it was impossible for Zefa to trust a pirate he saw for the first time.
"Damn it, let me go! It's just a pirate!"
"Well..."
Compared with the angry and struggling little girl Ain, the young lady Binz next to her was very interesting. She just let out a blank "Huh" and didn't struggle.
"What a grumpy little beauty, and you, is it really okay if you don't resist?"
Kazan looked at Binzi in his arms with interest. He was still more interested in Binzi than the little girl Ain.
Kazan has already trained several little girls. Although this is the first time he meets the grumpy little girl, it is obvious that the little brother attracts his attention more.
Because Kazan's little brother has not been very young since he joined the family, Kazan has not experienced the feeling of raising a young lady.
But Kazan forgot that the two of them just looked young, but they were not young at all.
"Um...Ain, why don't you remove the ability?"
Binz was obviously more mature than Ain, and he immediately thought of a way to break free from Kazan's arms.
