One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 138 Zephyr returns and vows to kill Shiki!

A few days later.

"It's Mr. Zefa, they're back!"

"General Zefa is back?"

"Yes! It's over at Port No. 3. I've seen Mr. Zefa's former vehicle. It has now been transformed into a semi-living warship."

"I don't know if Admiral Zefa and his crew will have a smooth trip to the New World. I heard that the marines in those elite training camps are all great potential stocks."

"That will definitely go smoothly! With Mr. Zephyr leading the team, which pirate in the New World would dare to provoke us? We will have no choice but to fight them!"

"That's true, but which patrol unit are you from?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, look at this medal."

"Ah! Reporting to His Excellency Major General, I am a member of the Third Patrol Team, and now is the shift change time!"

"Well, do your best. I'm going to join in the fun first."

"Yes!"

As a huge iron ship sailed towards Marinford, many marines and officers came to join in the fun.

After all, this is the first training voyage of the so-called "elite training camp", and we don't know what the results and effects will be.

Moreover, this is the first patrol of former Navy Admiral Zephyr in many months, and it is in the New World with the highest risk factor, so naturally the expectations are high.

Even the Navy Marshal Kong and the Navy Admiral "Sengoku" Sengoku who were stationed at the headquarters came! It was quite a grand occasion.

"Ok?"

Beside Sora, Ross frowned. His "eyesight" was very good. Even though Zefa's car had just appeared not far from the sea level, he could "see" it clearly through his observation Haki.

"What's wrong Ross, is there a problem?"

Sora was attracted by Ross's intention and asked.

Ross nodded, and after a while he said:
"The battleship has suffered a lot of damage. Excluding Zefa, the target with strong vitality shows that there are only thirty-six people, four less. There are also some marines who are sailing with us, and at least half of them are gone compared to when we set sail..."

Ross's tone was heavy.

But there is also good news. Sakaski, Long and Kuzan are all alive and well, and their vitality is much higher than before they set out.

Especially Long and Sakaski, their height has more than doubled!
Yes, Kuzan was also brought to the Marine Headquarters by Ross, but he did not join the elite training camp. Instead, he watched and learned, and occasionally received training.

After all, Kuzan is six years younger than Sakaski and Long. Judging from strength alone, he can only be ranked in the middle of the entire training camp.

He is a genius who has not grown up. He will be placed in the third elite training camp.

The second phase has been decided. Except for some remaining members of the Nasdaq family, all of them are the Navy’s own people, and there are even two CP agents who have been brainwashed since childhood.

There is nothing we can do about the death order given by the Five Elders.

But it doesn’t matter much. Anyway, in the next episode, Ross will sneak back to his hometown Xianyu, and by the way, do experiments on seastone with his son Walter, or look for Wano Country.

It’s OK if you’re not the one who has the headache.

"The warship was damaged? Could it be that fellow Golden Lion?"

Zhan Guo's mind raced, and he analyzed the intelligence from this month.

"Big Mom" ​​Charlotte Linlin holds a Pirate Expo and invites two legendary pirates to participate.

Even if "Whitebeard" Newgate met Zephyr head-on, he would not choose to start a war, but would retreat peacefully.

Because he, like Zefa, has his own "future".

But Golden Lion is different, he is a real pirate! If he didn't have so few useful men under his command, he would have caused a bloody storm long ago.

That guy's squad leaders can't even find three swordsmen, and there are only a handful of pirates with strength of 100 million berries or more.

"Judging from the way the warship was damaged, it is most likely that it was. There are corners cut by the chopping wave, and dents from heavy objects. Only the guy named Golden Lion could leave these things under Zephyr's hands."

Ross nodded, agreeing with Zhan Guo's guess.

Golden Lion is a big threat!
When I break through, the first person I will kill will be him! Anyway, I am not a marine, so I will kill him. I will take Garp with me to ensure that I can kill him!

By then, the world government won’t be able to hold anyone accountable.

Moreover, he also coveted the Floating Fruit, a fruit that was powerful enough to allow his huge cloud island to move at high speed!

Ross horsepower can lift the entire Cloud Island into the air when it is fully powered, but it is extremely difficult to move it, even to move quickly.

After all, the cloud islands are not made of ordinary clouds. Those clouds have mass, and most importantly, they are too big!
If moving at high speed, Ross can only run away with the central area at most, and any more will exceed his ability limit.

"Golden Lion..."

Sora looked down at Ross, a pleading look flashing in his eyes. "That's someone I'm definitely going to kill. When the time comes, I'll call Garp along to kill him. I don't like the existence of someone who can threaten my family."

Ross spoke bluntly, his tone full of murderous intent, and he did not hide his murderous intent towards the Golden Lion at all.

That guy is not like Whitebeard and Roger, he is a real pirate and there is no room for negotiation.

The only reason he didn't come to Donghai Cloud Island, besides the fact that Ross could also take people flying, was Garp! He was also very wary of the relationship between Cloud Island and the Navy Headquarters.

The Golden Lion has his own ambitions and can still see hope, so he dare not go all out now.

"I understand. That guy Garp will be there whenever you call, I promise!"

Sora also made his own promise.

He had been unhappy with Golden Lion for a long time. In that New World War, the one who enjoyed killing the most was Golden Lion!
The "Lion's Power" that can mobilize the sea water and the islands that fall from the sky have unparalleled lethality to the Marines!

Even the destructive power of Whitebeard and Big Mom combined is not as great as his alone!
The most important thing is that guy can fight freely in the air! Except for the general's fighting power, no one can match him in the sky! This is the most important thing!
Charlotte Lingling had to step on two clouds, but that guy was flying with his feet off the ground. His flexibility was too high!

Time passed slowly.

The warship docked, and the sailors who had come to join in the fun slowly calmed down their emotions and fell silent as they looked at the tattered warship.

Especially when the injured Zephyr took the lead in getting off the warship, he became even more worried. In the New World, how many pirates can even hurt Zephyr?

Apart from some of the hidden ones, there are only three! Only three!
However, after seeing thirty-six familiar faces getting off the ship one after another, they were all surprised.

There were only four casualties in the elite training camp! That was a pirate who could rival Zephyr, and his followers and the aftermath of the battle were no joke!

I didn’t expect so many people could survive!
Many generals thought that at least half of these young sailors would die.

However, the remaining marines who came down also verified their initial guess. Almost half of them were dead, and were covered with wounds. Some were even missing limbs. Most of them were disabled.

The atmosphere fell into sadness again.

Thanks to Ross's reminder, Zhan Guo had already notified the people in the infirmary to come for rescue. Many nurses in white coats and pink coats came with medical stretchers, carrying a bunch of wounded away, or treating them on the spot.

"I'm glad you're back, Zefa. You did a perfect job. This is a new world after all!"

Kong stepped forward and patted Zefa on the shoulder, which made the other person's self-blaming expression feel a little better, but he still felt guilty.

How can there be no casualties in war, especially when facing a powerful opponent?

But it must be hard for him to watch his students die with his own eyes. Even if they killed multiple times more pirates, it would be useless. Dead is dead.

"Sorry Ross, one is missing..."

Looking at Ross and Sengoku who came later, Zefa lowered his head and said guiltily.

Ross was very angry and put the blame on Golden Lion. He shook his head pretending not to care and asked:
"Is it the old dog Golden Lion?"

"Yes, we were originally dealing with a pirate group with a total bounty of 2 billion on a remote island country, but we didn't expect to run into Golden Lion. He threw down two small islands without saying a word, catching us off guard!"

Zephyr nodded and recounted their encounter with the golden lion.

If Sakaski had not eaten a good nature fruit and destroyed an island together with the dragon, their casualties would have been even more serious!

He is very strong, but two fists cannot beat four hands, and destroying an island is already the limit in a short period of time.

"Teacher Ross, it's a good thing you told me to remember the appearance of this fruit before we set out, otherwise it would be dangerous this time."

Sakaski walked over slowly, followed by a group of people from the elite training camp.

One of his hands turned into magma and dripped onto the ground, demonstrating the ability of his fruit.

Natural magma fruit! One of the top natural fruits!

This is also what Ross told Sakaski before Zefa led the team out. If you come across this fruit, there is no need to hesitate, just eat it directly.

Unexpectedly, this reminder turned out to be a life-saving tip.

The strength of the fruit is linked to the person who has the ability of the fruit. Sakaski is very strong, so just by eating the fruit he can increase his combat power by nearly double!

After all, this is a top-notch fruit of the natural system. Even if a pig eats it, it can instantly rival a navy colonel! Whether it can beat him or not is another matter.

"Malva fruit? May the sea bless you, Sakaski. I'm glad you're all right."

Ross walked past Zefa and came in front of Sakaski. The 23-year-old Sakaski was taller than Ross and looked strong and upright.

Ross reached out his hand, straightened his tattered clothes, and straightened his hat that had been blown askew by the sea breeze.

He glanced at the group of injured guys behind him and nodded with relief.

Favorability +100
This prompt seemed to vaguely appear above everyone's head.

Behind them, Sengoku and Kong looked at each other. How could they have forgotten such a thing?
I really learned a lot.

This is what you have to do when a lieutenant general comes back from a dangerous mission!
"They should be happy that we can still see you alive..."
