One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 80 Zefa's Sorrow
As time went by, the sea entered a rare period of calm, until a scandal spread around the world through newspapers.

"Extra! Extra! If the admiral, Zefa, is not killed, his wife and son will be killed! Extra! Extra!" A crew member was running on the Iron Islands holding a newspaper, and this newspaper also went straight to Lily's desk.

"Zeffer's family was killed by the intruding pirates?" Kaido frowned as he looked at the newspaper in front of him. He had just been resting at Lily's place, so he naturally read the newspaper as well.

"Now, the navy, which once had a good reputation, has fallen to the bottom again." Lily didn't care about the fancy words in the newspaper, but she had to say that Morgans was indeed a talent. He did his best to curse the murderous pirates, but successfully separated him from other pirates.

"Isn't this the trick of the World Government? God knows what they are thinking?" Kaido and Lily are not stupid. They know that the World Government is behind this. After all, the Navy Headquarters is not the palace of a third-rate country. Even if it is the Iron Islands, someone will get the news if they approach, let alone the Navy Headquarters. Moreover, the family of the admiral must be in the core position. How can a group of unknown pirates bypass the heavy blockade and go deep into the hinterland just to kill a helpless mother and daughter? If you have this ability, it would be more practical to poison the water in the Navy.

"Is the World Government treating everyone as fools?" Lily urged. She could not understand the World Government's stupid behavior at all.

"Aren't they just a bunch of inbred fools? Ulla hala hala." Kaido told a joke that everyone in the New World knew, and then burst into laughter.

"Indeed, only a fool like this would do that."

. . . . . . Dividing line. . . . . .

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

"I, I'm sorry, Zephyr, I didn't expect those guys would do this." Sora lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to look at Zephyr in front of him. He had just come back from Marijoa and had just had a big fight with the Five Elders. Since even outsiders like Kaido and Lily could see it, how could so many people in the navy not see it? Sora rushed directly into Marijoa and knocked down many CP0s along the way, but the Five Elders just said indifferently that they didn't know. These guys didn't even perfunctorily answer.

"It's not your fault, Marshal." Zefa lowered his head. After experiencing this incident, some white hair appeared on Zefa's head, who was in his prime. He had admired heroes since he was a child and joined the navy to protect others. He didn't expect that in the end, he couldn't even protect his own family. But he didn't blame Marshal Kong or his colleagues on the island. He, Zefa, would not vent his anger on irrelevant people.

"Ah--" Kong sighed, looking at the somewhat listless Zephyr, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Zephyr was his most promising subordinate, he was strong enough, compared to Sengoku, Zephyr would not worry about gains and losses, compared to Garp, he was more responsible and thought more, and Zephyr had a high prestige in the navy. Such a person was simply the best choice for the navy marshal, but his success or failure were both due to this person, this too high reputation aroused the suspicion of the World Government.

"Zefar!" The office door was pushed open, and Garp, who was panting, stood outside the door. At this time, Garp no longer had his usual smile, and his face was full of anxiety.

"Garp! Aren't you supervising the G-14 branch? Why did you come back without permission!" Kong was also startled when he saw Garp suddenly appearing. He was so distracted that he didn't notice the obvious footsteps of Garp at all.

"How can we have the time to care about the branch now? Zefa's family is gone! Those bastards! I'm going to ask them for an explanation!" Garp's face was full of indignation, and his entire face was red because of anger.

"Nonsense! Do you have any evidence?" Although Kong had done the same thing, he was different from Garp. Garp was now a benchmark in the navy. In order to stabilize the internal situation, Garp must not be allowed to make a scene.

"What bullshit evidence! Anyone with a brain can tell who did it! How could a few bullshit pirates come to the Marine Headquarters and cause trouble! Are our scouts and guards just there to eat for nothing?" Garp cursed and punched the marshal's desk. The solid wood table was smashed to pieces by Garp's angry punch.

"Haha, Garp, you old bastard, have you grown a brain?" Unexpectedly, the one who spoke up was the gloomy Zefa. "Zef! Let's go find those idiots and ask for an explanation. We can't just let the matter of my sister-in-law and nephew go like this." Garp turned his head and looked at his old friend, his eyes turned red. He is also a husband and a father. If he put himself in his shoes, he would definitely go crazy if something like this happened to his wife and children.

"Okay, Garp, don't make things difficult for Marshal Kong. I accept your kindness, but we really can't do anything about this matter." Zefa also wanted to ask the Five Elders for an explanation, but like Marshal Kong said, they really had no evidence in this matter. As subordinates, there was really nothing they could do without evidence. They couldn't just rebel, and apart from anything else, the pirates of the New World were still eyeing them covetously, and the navy must not allow internal strife.

"Zeff, you--ah--." After Zephyr said that, Garp naturally couldn't say anything more. He clenched his fists again and again, and finally loosened them.

"If there's anything I can do, tell me. Don't be polite, old brothers." Garp walked up to Zefa, patted him on the shoulder, and then sat down next to Zefa.

"Okay." Zefa nodded, without saying anything more, he turned around, stood up and looked at Kong.

"Marshal, may I resign?"

"No!" Sora said without even thinking about it, this sentence was too scary, a navy admiral was persecuted by the World Government, his family was killed by pirates in the navy headquarters, and then the admiral resigned, Sora didn't dare to think about what tomorrow's newspaper would look like.

"Zefah, don't worry. I know you are not feeling well. How about this, I will give you a year's vacation. You can go out for a walk and relax. Let's not rush, okay?" Kong said softly, trying to persuade Zefa as much as possible.

"That's right, Zefa, take a break and walk around." Garp also came behind Zefa. He also understood how much shock it would cause in the navy if Zefa resigned at this time.

"Okay, then I'll think about it." In fact, Zefa was reluctant to leave the navy, but now every time he walked on the streets of the navy, he could remember everything he saw when he returned home that day. Maybe it would be more appropriate to go out for a walk.

"Okay, then you just report to the sailing department and I'll allow you to use your warship for the trip. Of course, you can go on your own if you want. Don't worry about the official business, I'll take care of it." Kong wanted to write a list, but the table had been broken by Garp and the banknotes on it were scattered all over the floor, so he had to give up.

"Why don't you come over to my place? The New World has been pretty peaceful lately." Garp suggested, tilting his head and picking his nose.

"Stop it. I am an admiral after all. Even though you are not, you are no different from an admiral. If we both appear in the New World at the same time, aren't you afraid that those pirates will have a stress reaction?" Zephyr curled the corners of his mouth slightly. He knew that Garp was just looking for a topic. There was no way he couldn't understand such a small matter.

"Okay, where are you going?"

"Let's go to Sihai and take a look there. Remember to come to me if you need anything." Zefa patted Garp on the shoulder, then saluted Marshal Kong, turned and left.

Looking at Zefa's straight back, the two knew that Zefa was not knocked down!
