I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 361: A Lifelong Belief (7k)

"You guy!"

Zefa jumped up with gritted teeth and roared, raising the mechanical arm in his hand with all his strength, and light gathered in the center of the three torn fingers.

"Smash the bombardment!"

The mechanical arm in his hand fired a powerful bombardment, almost forming a beam of light that went straight over.

After a year, the technology seems to have changed, making the mechanical arm named "Crusher" even more powerful.

"Thunder!"

Boom!

As Sag's voice sounded, a black and red thunder dropped from the gloomy sky, striking hard on the artillery fire and creating a huge cloud of smoke and dust.

Soon, the smoke and dust were blown away by the strong wind, revealing Sag's figure.

"When it comes to using the power of external objects, I am better than you, Wind Blade!"

He grinned grimly, and swiped a finger to the side, creating a sharp wind blade that cut open the head of a neo navy officer.

"Sag kid! What the hell are you going to do?!"

Zefa took a step forward and flew over, pulling his mechanical arm back and hitting hard.

The fierce attack was steadily caught by a hand at this moment. The hand, which was as domineering as black flames, did not even completely catch the thick mechanical arm, but instead created a gap on the surface.

Sarge raised his head slightly, and smiled at Zefa, "Times have changed, old man."

Bang!
With a sudden clasp of his outstretched five fingers, the inside of the mechanical arm exploded, and parts and steel fell off, revealing Zefa's prosthetic limb.

"Now, I don't even need to bother to dismantle it. One move is enough!"

He couldn't deal with the hardness of seastone, but this was not the first time he had encountered this robotic arm. He had dismantled it once last year.

This time, he just needs to use his domineering power to penetrate those joints. Everything has secret holes. With his current strength, this one contact is enough to dismantle such a bulky object as a robotic arm!
The moment the mechanical arm fell off, Sage grabbed Zefa's prosthetic limb and pulled the body over, while his other fist hit Zefa's abdomen hard, causing him to hunch back.

Zefa gritted his teeth and was about to fight back, but before he could clench his fist, Sag slashed his shoulder with a knife. The heavy blow was so powerful that half of his body was numb.

Snapped!
The knife slashed across Zefa's neck along his shoulder. Even though he defended himself with his domineering power, he was still hit hard. Just one blow made his hunched body lean upwards.

The legs he tried to lift were blocked by his knees, and Sag took advantage of the situation to move closer and rammed his shoulder into the chest of Zefa, who was taller than him.

click!
boom!
There was a crisp sound of bones cracking, and Zefa flew backwards like a cannonball, crashing into the ground and creating a hole.

Sarge stood at attention, a look of pity in his eyes, "You look like a bug now."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Inside the pit, Zefa curled up like a bent worm, holding his chest and coughing violently.

It's only been one year, and the results are completely different.

"Your asthma hasn't gotten any worse, it's the same as last year, so has your weakened willpower made it so you can't even control the disease?" said Sager.

"Teacher Zefa!"

Ain, who was running and attacking at the same time, screamed and was about to take a step forward, but a sudden cold light found the opportunity and went straight to her neck.

The threat of death made her subconsciously stop and her pupils even began to dilate. Everything around her seemed to be slowing down, including the two-finger-wide rapier that was attacking her quickly, which could be seen in her dilated pupils.

Then she saw a lot.

When she was young, her hometown was ravaged by pirates. After she joined the navy as a teenager, the training ship was overturned by a guy with a crescent-shaped white beard, leaving only her and Binz as freshmen. When she grew up, she respected teacher Zephyr and followed him after he retired from the navy.
Everything flashed by quickly like a kaleidoscope, and Ian understood what was going to happen.

She is dying
"Lily, let her pass."

Just as the cold light was about to approach, a voice suddenly sounded in Ian's kaleidoscope of worlds. At that moment, the world that was gradually getting dark suddenly became bright.

The cold light suddenly turned around her neck. Lily danced the white thunder into a sword flower, dived forward, turned around on the spot, and stood sideways with the sword in hand.

This also made the world in Ain's eyes return to normal. She quickly ran into the pit, supported Zefa, took out the portable ventilator from her waist and gave it to Zefa. After spraying out the mist, his violent coughing was relieved a lot.

"I know you."

Sager looked at the woman with long blue curly hair and said:
"You seem to have a good ability, which is to reverse the time of objects. Let's use it to see. Now this old guy is useless, let's replace him with a younger body."

Ian pursed his lips and stared at Sage warily, but then shook his head: "Teacher Zefa's domineering aura is too strong for me."

"Ha! Then the level of development of your abilities is not good enough." Sager laughed.

He remembered the woman's ability, which seemed to be to make the objects she touched go back eleven or twelve years. Among the countless abilities in the sea, this was one of the best.

But as for ability, the most important thing is to choose the host.

The ability to regress means that this guy has a strong desire to go back to the past and he often thinks so.

It may not be appropriate to give it to others.

Thinking of this, he flashed and fell into the pit.

Ian was startled and subconsciously raised his gun to shoot.

"Leave far away."

boom!
Sag didn't even look at her, he just kicked Ain from the side, directly in the heart. After kicking her away, he pulled Zefa up and broke his respirator with a swing of his fist.

"Don't accuse me of bullying the elderly because you old guys don't even admit your age. Just wait and see."

Snapped!
He put two fingers together and tapped Zefa's chest hard, causing him to fly out again.

This time, Zefa steadied his body and landed steadily on the ground. He covered his chest and subconsciously wanted to cough, but at this moment, he suddenly froze.

Zefa blinked his eyes, took two deep breaths, and with his chest heaving, he exhaled sharply, completely ignoring the crack on his sternum.

He showed an expression of disbelief, "Sag kid, you..."

Asthma, healed.

This is a disease that has tormented him for many years!
"There are very few diseases that cannot be cured by me!" Sag laughed triumphantly.

Fist of the North Star is also a living fist.

Under Sage's practice, this fist can easily cure all diseases except for those terminal illnesses that are really incurable.

It's just asthma, no problem.

"Of course, it's impossible to heal with just one acupuncture. It requires a long period of secret hole recuperation. But it is definitely enough for you, because you won't live until tomorrow."

After saying that, he waved his hand again, and the wind blades he stirred up cut more NEO navy soldiers, either their heads were cut open, or their bodies were chopped into deep gashes, or they were cut in half.

Then, he swung his hand downwards, and several bolts of lightning came down, splitting a group of people into charred pieces.

Zefa's surprise at having his asthma cured disappeared in an instant, and he yelled, "Stop, Sarge!"

"Hahahahaha, you're an old navy man, and you actually told the pirates to stop?"

Sarge laughed and said, "I'm a pirate, how could I possibly listen to you? If you want to stop me, of course you have to use your strength!"

As he said that, he waved his hand again, and in an instant, wind blades rolled up and thunder came down, killing another group of NEO navy soldiers.

"Look, you can't stop me, that means you're not strong enough. You're not strong enough, Zephyr!"

Sag's almost shouting words made Zefa retreat repeatedly even though he was not attacked.

There was even a hint of despair in his eyes.

Yes
Not strong enough.

After all, he is an old navy man. Not only Sag discovered the gap, but Zefa himself also discovered it during the battle.

Not only did Sarge become stronger, he himself became weaker.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. He was in doubt, he was confused, and he was inevitably weakening.

When 'Whitebeard II' joined the ranks of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he began to doubt the justice of the Navy, so he quit the Navy.

But before that, he was already very weak.

A long time ago.
When his family was killed by an infiltrated user with special abilities, he was gradually weakening.

What is the meaning of not killing?
Is it to let those pirates seek revenge on me?

If they had been killed earlier, would their family members have survived?

If he is strong enough, then even if a pirate invades the new ship, he can kill him before that guy kills everyone on the ship, so at least half of the people can be saved and retreat.

But there is no if in all this. After years of confusion and weakness, he placed all his hopes on the navy.

But the Navy betrayed, no... the World Government betrayed.

It's not his fault, but is it the World Government's fault?
After so many years, I should have understood what it is like.

So, what is
Whose fault?
Zefa's pupils began to visibly dilate, and his willpower dropped to the lowest level.

At this moment, although he had a strong body, strong muscles and tall stature.

But at first glance, he looks no different from a frustrated, frail old man.

There is no threat at all.

"The sea is so cruel!"

Just at this moment, a sound like a Huangzhong Dalu resounded into Zefa's ears, which made his eyes regain a bit of spirit, and he subconsciously looked up.

Sag was like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep, stirring up a storm and thunder. With just a wave of his hand and a move, those men who followed him from the navy were either chopped into pieces or torn into pieces by wind blades. Their deaths were extremely tragic.

He stood on the black cloud, opened his hands, and laughed: "Only the strong can gain a foothold on this sea! Only the strong are qualified to sit at the table!"

"Justice? Evil? The whole ocean has its own reasons. Who is more reasonable? Of course, we have to fight to see who is right!"

Boom!

The black and red lightning that struck from the sky covered the entire island in black and red light.

But even the loud lightning and thunder could not cover up Sag's wild voice.

"And now, my reason is the greatest! I am righteous! My belief and will can be implemented most resolutely!"

Under the lightning, a figure suddenly approached Sag in the black cloud at a very fast speed. The sound of his fist breaking through the air was even louder than thunder. Sag did not even look back, but just curled the corners of his mouth and subconsciously punched forward.

"Sneak attacks won't work on me!"

boom!
The two fists collided, and the impact wave spread in the air. Under this impact, the figure flew backwards again, turned several circles in the air, and landed steadily.

The flashing black and red lightning retracted into the clouds, making the island quiet.

Sager looked down at Zefa standing below, looking at the domineering aura on his prosthetic limbs and left fist, and said with a slight smile:
"Your willpower has recovered a little. You are such a fickle person."

He sneered, "Ah, I forgot. You have experienced failure and cannot carry out your beliefs and will, so you are confused. But I am different from you. I have never thought of changing my will."

He paused, and his voice became firm: "I am extremely confident that I will carry out my beliefs to the end in my future life!"

Everyone has experienced failure.

Sag failed so badly that he had no food to eat and almost had to become a savage in the mountains, eating tree bark. It was obvious that with his strength at that time, he could definitely survive if he had settled down.

But he just wouldn't give up his entrepreneurial ambitions and his path to becoming a landlord.

He also firmly believed that no matter how many failures he encountered, he would definitely fulfill his dream!

Only by becoming a landlord who rules over everything can his damned, deep, and completely insatiable desire be released and have a brief satisfaction.

"I'm not worthy of being taught a lesson by a little brat. Shut up, Sarge!"

Zefa at this moment is completely different from before.

The domineering aura in his fists is a bit like the feeling last year, or even stronger.

"But I don't understand, what exactly are you going to do?"

Zefa looked up and saw that the sunglasses on his eyes had disappeared, replaced by extremely sharp eyes.

In response, Sager just grinned and raised his hands to the sky.

Boom!

Thunder and strong wind swept towards Zefa and the surviving NEO Navy soldiers behind him.

"Again, here we go again!"

"No!"

"Run!"

As human beings, the majority are afraid of death, but those few have the qualifications to become strong.

But obviously, no one in this group of people has this qualification, so they will be afraid and run away.

In front of the huge thunder and storm, the relatively small figure rushed straight into the air, and his prosthetic limbs and fists rolled up the flowing domineering aura like the wind, and slammed forward fiercely.

click!
The air solidified like glass. With this impact, the glass shattered, causing the scroll of storm and thunder on the glass to shatter as well.

"Evacuate!" Zefa landed on the ground with both feet, moved suddenly to the side, appeared in front of Ian, and punched him again, breaking a bolt of lightning.

"Ain, retreat with your men!"

"Teacher Zefa!"

Ian said in surprise: "You, you I won't leave, I want to fight with you!"

"This is an order! Don't you even listen to the teacher?"

Zefa punched the storm and thunder with his fists, and shouted: "I will protect you until you evacuate safely!"

The violent wind and fierce thunder were all shattered at this moment.

But at this moment, Zefa's arms were clearly cut with blood, and there were also black marks from the thunder.

The forces of nature are not so easy to deal with.

Blood flowed from the corners of Zefa's mouth, but his smile became wider and wider: "I am a hero of justice!"

"Teacher Zefa!"

Ian pursed his lips, trying to hold back his tears, looked at Zefa who was standing in front of him like an iron wall, and turned and ran.

The storm stopped.

Dark clouds dispersed.

Sag's figure slowly landed on the ground, also grinning grimly.

Compared to before, his domineering aura was even stronger, even stronger than the one I encountered in Rogue Town last year.

Zefa slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He's right.

It has nothing to do with belief or justice, it’s just that I’m not strong enough.

His changed philosophy, the philosophy of relying on the 'end' to destroy the New World pirates, had actually disappeared the moment he met Sarge, and it was only the resentment that kept him going.

Because he didn't know whether he could destroy the new world, but he knew that Sag came from the East China Sea.

It wasn't the New World that made him, but people like Sarge that made the Grand Line.

Even without the New World, there are still pirates.

And when he was sure that he was no match for Sag, he indeed lost his will and felt like not wanting to resist anymore.

But he seemed to be forcing himself to make a decision.
He didn't want to see that kind of large-scale killing, and he had to admit that Sager's words also woke him up.

He is indeed not suitable for killing. No matter how hard you try to force yourself to admit it, he is more suitable for 'not killing'.

Zefa has always been a very gentle person.

Being a righteous hero who does not kill has been his belief since he was a child!

Since we cannot achieve our current goal
Stupid!
He opened his eyes again, and Zefa's pupils flashed with the red light of observation. He looked directly at Sage and said:

"Sag kid, is this what you want to do? To make this old man regain his confidence, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Just to kill you."

Sarge smiled and said, "But I really have no interest in the weak. The weak are not worth my attention. As for you, I don't think you should be a weak person."

"Oh? Do you think I can defeat you?" Zefa smiled.

"Hehehe, the difference between strong and weak includes more than just strength."

Sarge raised one hand and said, "In addition to strength, those who have will, courage, status, power, and wealth far surpass those of ordinary people are not weak."

He looked at Zefa and said in a deep voice: "Your willpower now is worthy of my killing!"

"It seems that I have to thank you."

Zefa shook his head, looked at Sarge carefully, and sighed, "Garp is right. A guy like you will be a good navy officer."

"Hahahaha! There was no choice for that kind of thing twenty-one years ago."

Sarge laughed loudly: "I told you long ago that you would die in my hands. Now, use all your strength and energy to declare war on me! We will switch sides, Zefa!"

He suddenly pointed to the sky, and an extremely bright star suddenly appeared in the gloomy and thunderous sky.

Even though it's still daytime.
"See? Your death star is shining!" Sag grinned.

Zefa's whole body trembled, and he stomped his feet heavily, and the domineering aura in his hands entangled like the wind.

"Come on, Sager brat!!"

He stepped on the ground to make a dent, drew his left fist to his waist, and stretched out the prosthetic limb of his right hand, rushing forward like a cannonball.

zizi
Two black flashes suddenly burst out from the clenched left fist!
The ultimate in armed color!

After going through the stages of confusion, decadence and recovery, Zefa now shows some of his peak form!

Admirals of the navy, none of them are easy to deal with!
call!
Sag also took a step forward, and at that moment, a white cocoon wrapped around him and crashed into Zefa's fist.

"Hundred Demons Attack Blade!!"

laugh! !

Zefa's fist stopped moving forward. Right in front of him, Sag stood in a horse stance and stabbed Zefa straight in the middle of his chest with a knife, all the way to his back, allowing the knife with black and red lightning to penetrate out.

zizi
Sag's hair turned into blazing white flames, three domineering battle lines appeared on both sides of his cheeks and extended downwards, and black and red lightning flashed all over his body.

"Full form, thirty times."

The corners of his mouth curled up, "I originally wanted to use the compassionate face-breaking fist on you, but after thinking about it carefully, accepting the pain should be more suitable for you."

Blood kept pouring out of the corners of Zefa's mouth like water, dripping onto the ground.

The domineering aura on the fist also dissipated at this moment.

"This is really true."

He sighed slightly and grinned, "It's a very powerful force. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time that your special strength really hurts when you hit someone."

"As you should. You have no chance of winning against me," said Sager.

"That's hard to say."

Snapped.
The domineering aura dissipated, but the fist kept moving forward and hit Sag on the head.

Zefa blinked like a naughty old man and grinned, "I still managed to attack you."

Sager was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ferocious, "Stubborn old man, amazing!"

laugh!
He pulled his arm out and shook off the blood on his hand.

Zefa did not fall down with this action, but stood still, his eyes looking straight at the wide sea outside the edge of the island behind Sag.

Behind him, the NEO navy had already boarded the ship and started sailing towards the sea.

"Hey"

He opened his mouth gently, "As an enemy, what do you think of my life?"

“Who cares about this?”

Sager turned and left, "All I know is that you're dead!"

“That’s really your style.”

Zefa smiled gently, looking at Sag who was gradually returning to normal shape, then raised his hand tremblingly, took out a tobacco leaf from his waist, and tremblingly put it in his mouth with all his strength.

"I was actually taught a lesson by a young man. I am really..."

……

"Hero of Justice, Z!!"

The little boy at the port, with a piece of wood tied to his right hand, who had beaten away the bully, raised his arms high and spoke the words of his childhood.

……

"I'm getting old."

The old man sighed deeply, and stood there with the tobacco leaf in his mouth, gradually becoming stiff.

"Aren't you going to chase me?"

Lily put Bai Lei into the scabbard and looked at Sag who was walking over.

"You have put away your sword, so don't ask. The old man showed his courage in the end, and I will not be so unkind. I will give face to the dead. Go back."

He led his men all the way to the landing site, where a layer of ice inexplicably appeared.

"How long have you been here, Kuzan?"

Sag stepped onto the gangway and turned to look at the homeless man on the ice, who was leaning on his bicycle with his hands in his pockets and carrying a big penguin.

"When Mr. Zefa first recovered, we hadn't reminisced yet."

Kuzan scratched his head and glanced at Binz who was caught by Ajin among the pirates, "Can't we let that guy go?"

"I've already released a lot. I can use this guy. Why, do you want to fight with me?" Sag said.

"Oh, forget it, it's good."

Kuzan thought for a moment and said, "If we let that stubborn old man do what he did, he will die at the hands of us disciples within a year. In that case, think about it, dying at the hands of a great pirate like you is not bad."

He paused and added, "At least this time it's truly fair and square. Thanks, Sarge."

Sag sneered and stepped into the Death Star. Seeing that all the pirates were on board, Kuzan took a step forward and stepped onto the island.

"Hey, Kuzan."

Just at this moment, something suddenly fell from the boat.

Kuzan subconsciously reached out and saw a bottle of wine.

It has a water bubble pattern and the word 'JEREZ' written on it.

Kuzan turned his head and saw Sag's figure leaving the side of the ship. The Death Star retracted the gangway, and the entire huge black ship turned quickly, and a voice was heard at the same time.

"Take a toast to him for me."

……

On the Death Star, Renetia looked over curiously, "Sag, what did you just throw? I don't think I've seen you drink it before."

"Heres Sherry, poor wine."

Sager laughed, thought about it, and sighed slightly, "It is also suitable for those confused people with responsibilities."

"Zefa."

Lily looked at the island that was gradually moving away and said, "Except for the very last terrible moment, the rest of the time was nothing to worry about. Is this the weakening of will?"

To put it bluntly, Lily might still feel a sense of crisis about Zefa in Rogue Town, but when she met Zefa on the island, she felt like she could kill him, let alone Sage.

But that final moment was more terrifying than any other time.

Liberation
what is this else?
"Lily, the weakening of willpower is very scary. If a person completely loses his willpower, he will even become ugly."

Sager laughed and said, "I don't want you to become a dry, sticky old woman who swings branches around as swords after a few decades."

“It won’t be like that!”

When Lily thought of that posture, her whole body felt numb, as if an electric current was running through it.

"I'll never die!" Lily shouted, gritting her teeth.

Sarge shrugged, leaned against the fender, looked up at the sky, and then thought of something and sneered, "Upright? That's fucking funny."

Thinking back to the life of that stubborn old man.

When he was young, he was backstabbed and lost his family.

When he was middle-aged and old, he was stabbed in the back and lost his students.

Now he is being stabbed in the back and his career is gone.

What does it mean for an old navy man to be stabbed in the back all day long?
By dying in his own hands, Sager had fulfilled what he had said, and at the same time it did not disgrace the old man.

It wasn't long before news about Zefa came out.

Former Navy Admiral, current Chief Inspector of the Navy Guerrillas, Zephyr!
On the New World Dehbas Island, he fought fiercely with the 'natural disaster' Norton Sagger, and was eventually killed while protecting his subordinates' retreat!
Looking back on Zefa's life, he trained many backbone forces for the navy and truly led the navy into its golden generation.

He is famous in the sea for "not killing", and his pair of fists crisscross the sea, so he is called "Black Wrist".

And more importantly, the Navy announced to the world that this is a .
Hero of justice!
