Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 82 Justice
"Kuzan, did that guy give it to you too? Garp said you saw that guy too, I thought it was something else! Why did you go to see that guy if there was nothing going on? Now it seems to be true!"

"We've only met a few times, Mr. Zefa." Kuzan also picked up the things sent to him with a puzzled look on his face, and carefully glanced inside. After finding that there was nothing that couldn't be seen by the light, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his lazy look. Looking at the burly purple-haired man with only one arm in front of him, he said leisurely, "I'm not very familiar with him!"

"Not familiar? This kid... has been demoted for so long and has no achievements at all. He has been staying in the East China Sea and confronting some East China Sea overlord. He has not learned anything, but he has become more and more proficient in these things. I have to criticize him severely next time I see him."

Zefa sighed, looked at Kuzan who was holding the orange wine in front of him and looked at it curiously, and said cheerfully, "This is the orange wine produced in the East China Sea. It tastes pretty good. A few years ago, that kid always hoped that I could help him and ask the Navy Procurement Department to purchase it. He said that he was too poor and hoped to make some money!"

"..."

That guy is still poor?
There is no one richer than him in the entire East China Sea branch, and even in the Grand Line there are few branches that can compare with him.

Kuzan raised his eyelids, but didn't say much.

As for this orange wine, he had also drunk it during the Red Romance period and it tasted really good. But he didn't expect... that even though he had returned to the Navy Headquarters, that cunning boy would actually give it to him?
What do you want to do?
"It's a pity. I have mentioned it to the Navy Headquarters, but failed. However, that guy still sends it every year. He is really thoughtful." Zefa sighed and looked at the orange wine in his hand.

He was still very optimistic about Xia Che, and believed that he would definitely have a chance to become an admiral of the Navy Headquarters in the future.

Unexpectedly, after so many things happened, this guy was finally demoted and stayed in the East China Sea for so long.

In recent years, he has heard many people say that the former genius has fallen and has no ambition, but as a teacher, Zefa has always believed in that child.

Maybe he is a little frustrated now, but I believe he will regain his confidence in the future.

But I don’t know how long it will take?

He raised his head and looked at Kuzan, "Since Kuzan, you have also seen that boy, what do you think of him now? Has he given up his training? Has he really fallen?"

"As for that kid..." After hearing what Teacher Zefa said, Kuzan also understood why Teacher Zefa came to find him on purpose, and his mind couldn't help but think of the duel on the sea that day.

have to say……

That kid's swordsmanship is definitely worthy of the title of genius!
But that guy doesn't seem to have any good feelings towards the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. He has been hiding in the East China Sea and deceiving everyone.

"I'm living a good life. As for the rest..." Kuzan curled his lips and stretched, "It's just so-so!"

"so so?"

Just as Zefa heard Kuzan's words, he was frowning.

The female navy man with long, wavy, sea-blue hair, wearing a purple vest and black shorts, suddenly asked, "What about his kendo?"

With a nervous tone, "Have you given up yet?"

"This is Ai En, from the same class as Xia Che. He is also a very talented student. During the training camp, he was Xia Che's opponent. Unfortunately, this kid never won once. Even after Xia Che graduated early, he did not give up and always wanted to compete with Xia Che again."

Hearing what his student Ain said, Zefa seemed to remember something and sighed again, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "There are only a few children of Xia Che's generation left. It's all my fault. If I had been able to..."

The words are not finished yet.

"..."

Ian and Kuzan both fell silent. They also knew about the tragedy two years ago.

Especially Ein, who had experienced it personally, they knew that this incident had always been a thorn in Teacher Zefa's heart.

Ai En opened his mouth, "Teacher Zefa..."

But I don’t know how to comfort my teacher.

"Kendo?" And Kuzan...didn't say anything to comfort Teacher Zefa.

He was also quite clear about the character of his teacher.

At this point, it's no use any more consolation.

However, some time ago, old man Zhan Guo was preparing to apply to the World Government, hoping that the scientists of the World Government could find a way to help repair Mr. Zefa's broken arm, and the World Government had already agreed.

only.

Due to Vegapunk's sudden disappearance, this matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

Looking at the nervous Ein in front of him, Kuzan had also heard of this young female Marine under Teacher Zefa.

A person with special abilities and a female swordsman!
But he hadn't heard that the class in which the tragedy happened was the same class as Dander Shatcher?
It's really unexpected.

Kuzan touched his chin and pursed his lips as if thinking about something. When he noticed the nervous Ein, he seemed to have thought of something interesting. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's rotten! That kid's strength has long been rotten! Just like what the Navy Headquarters said, that kid has fallen and his strength has not improved at all. I also heard from others that the kid has been secretly playing with female pirates in the base for the past few years and has given up kendo a long time ago!"

He looked at Ain again and said leisurely, "You will definitely win. Don't be polite when the time comes. Remember to beat him up!"

however.

As soon as these words fell.

unexpected.

"Impossible!" Ainn was not happy, but looked at Kuzan angrily, "General Kuzan, you are definitely lying to me. Xia Che will never give up his swordsmanship, and playing with girls..." His cheeks were a little red, as if there was something difficult to say, "Pirate! He will never fall so easily! Then I will defeat him myself!"

"Okay, Kuzan, stop teasing Iin. I also believe that the kid will never fall like this." Zefa also shook his head, and with a firm tone, he raised his only arm and turned it into a fist, "If he really falls to the point of playing with a female pirate, I will use this hand to wake him up myself!"

"Really? When you beat him up, remember to ask me to come with you!"

"Why do I feel like you're gloating? Like you can't wait to see me beat him up?"

"Ahaha~, I'm really tired! If there's nothing else, I'll go down and rest first, Mr. Zefa."

"Wait a minute, Kuzan, I actually wanted to ask you this time..." Zefa stopped Kuzan who wanted to go back and be lazy, and said in a serious tone, "Do you think that kid... still carries justice?"

"Carrying justice?" Hearing what Zefa said and looking at Zefa who was staring at him, Kuzan fell silent. He thought of that cunning boy, but also thought of the Konomi Islands. He was silent for a while. Finally, he stretched lazily, yawned, and said slowly, "I don't know, but that guy... should also have his own justice!"

"Your own justice? That's enough." Hearing Kuzan's words, Zefa, who was staring closely, also showed a smile on his face.

He does not force his students to enforce his own justice.

After so many years, he also knows that the justice of the World Government and the Warring States is not really absolute justice.

Although he has gone through so much and his mentality has changed a little, he still hopes that his students can stick to their own justice.

Even if it is different from the justice of the navy, don't be like him and be confused about your own justice.

"I see. I can't wait to see what kind of justice that kid is going to show!" Zefa said with a smile, and then sighed, "I heard that the kid is being troubled by some East China Sea overlord. If nothing works, I, as his teacher, have to go and help him personally. Let's catch that East China Sea overlord."

"...That's really interesting! If you go, remember to call me, maybe I can help you!" Kuzan raised his fist lazily, and then yawned, "I'm really too tired, I'm going to rest first! Teacher Zefa~"

Having said that, feeling that there was nothing else for him to do, Kuzan slowly turned around and walked towards his office.

Only Zefa was left with a faint smile. After Kuzan left, Zefa shook his head and said with a helpless smile, "It seems that the brat has hidden a lot of things from me!"

"Teacher Zefa." Hearing what Teacher Zefa said, Ian looked a little surprised, "You mean..."

"Although I don't know what it is, don't worry, it's definitely not a female pirate!"

"Teacher Zefa!"

"Alright, alright! Stop teasing me, Ain. You can actually go to the East China Sea to find him. You don't have to worry about me!" Zefa shook his head cheerfully, "Teacher is not that fragile!"

"I... no need! We'll meet again when the time comes, and I'll see for myself whether he has fallen or not!"

"Really? Then let's go and take a look together. If that kid is really corrupt, the teacher will beat him up together! Hahaha~, maybe his secret will surprise us!"

After hearing Kuzan say that he had his own justice, Zefa felt relieved. Looking at the gift sent by Xia Che, he said leisurely, "That kid does send it every year, but what's the point of sending it to a useless old man like me?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have discovered something and suddenly became cheerful again.

"Hey, there's a gift for you this time, Ain. It's cosmetics. It seems that boy hasn't forgotten you!"

"Teacher Zefa! I don't use this kind of thing."

"Ah? You don't want it? Then leave it to the teacher! The teacher is old, it's time to take care of himself!"

"Teacher Zefa!"

……

Just as Ain and Teacher Zefa were looking at their gifts.

the other side.

Kuzan returned to his office and leisurely flipped through his gifts.

Orange wine, orange marmalade, canned oranges, and a small box of dried oranges, are these new products from the Konomimi Islands?

Yogurt with freeze-dried oranges?

I tasted it and it was pretty good, sour and sweet, with a hint of milk.

Kuzan nodded in satisfaction, threw the food into his mouth, and looked at the calm sea outside the window leisurely, muttering to himself, "What is your justice, Dande Shache?"

……

"Justice?" Xia Che frowned as he looked at Robin in front of him, "Isn't justice what our navy is responsible for? Tell those nobles of the member countries that our 16th branch of the navy will be here soon! We promise to recover the wealth stolen by pirates for them! Protect the peace of the East China Sea! We will definitely catch all those hateful pirates!"

That’s about it, it’s time to close the net.

After Mok's two incidents, it is estimated that the pirates in the East China Sea area will not need to recover in a short time.
