How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 148 Sorry, Gawain

When thinking of this, the Marines' eyes became red.

The same thing happened to Ian who was walking out of the deck at this moment.

just.

To her surprise, what appeared before her was a bustling port.

There were countless merchant ships coming and going, filling the entire port to the brim, and even the warships themselves had difficulty mooring.

"Why...is this different from what I thought?"

Ai En was stunned for a moment, and then he found the answer he wanted in the case studies within the Navy:

"Disguise! This must be a disguise!"

"Similar to Dressrosa, all the evil is hidden underground, and the peace is maintained on the surface!"

Recalling the information about Dressrosa, Ian felt so angry that his teeth itched.

Although the intelligence network within the Navy cannot be as omnipresent as that of the CP organization, it is much more developed than others imagine.

Undercover naval agents can be found in almost every major force.

The sword organization, which was established not long ago, was created specifically for this purpose.

Of course, he knew the actual situation in Dressrosa, but because of Doflamingo's identity as a Celestial Dragon and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he did not dare to act rashly.

At this moment, in Ain's eyes, Raven Harbor and Dressrosa have perfectly overlapped.

After all, even the model of the Raven Arena is exactly the same as that of the Dressrosa Bullfight Arena, isn't it?

Think of this.

She warned:

"Be careful!"

“The prosperity we see may be a false disguise just to trick more people into falling for it!”

"You have seen examples like this countless times within the Navy!"

The marines shouted in awe:

"Yes!"

The gangway is lowered.

Ian led the marines off the ship, but did not attract much attention in the port.

While she was wondering, she saw a blind man wearing a purple haori walking towards her.

"I have been waiting here for a long time at the request of Mr. Zefa. Come with me."

When Ainn heard that it was Zephyr's request, he trusted Fujitora a little more and asked with concern:

"How is Mr. Zefa?"

"It's nothing serious, and the injuries on my body have healed."

Fujitora spoke to comfort him, then changed the subject:

"He also designated you to go alone, saying that as a teacher, he wanted to give his disciple one last lesson."

"no!"

A man dressed as a naval officer suddenly stepped forward and looked at Fujitora with a wary look:

"We can't tell if this is a trap for Colonel Ain!"

"Doze!"

Ainn reached out and held down his subordinate named Doze, then looked coldly at Fujitora:

"I'll go with you. If I find out something is wrong, the warships in Raven Harbor and those anchored outside Raven Harbor will immediately open fire and raze everything here to the ground."

"You'd better be mentally prepared."

After saying that, Ain walked forward alone, followed Fujitora, and slowly walked into Red Dragon Street.

At this moment, she was concerned about Zefa's safety and no longer cared about her own life.

After all, that was a man she respected.

She had seen Zephyr's desperate look in front of the pirates, and she knew that for him, falling into the hands of pirates was almost a matter of life and death.

soon.

Ion disappeared in the distance.

Doze and a group of marines were guarding the port, looking vigilantly at the people passing by.

Unexpectedly.

However, they did not see any trace of fear on these people's faces.

Apart from the occasional curious glances, their existence did not even receive any attention.

And the man who had just won the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea never showed up from beginning to end.

It was as if I was just a speck of dust to him and to this place.

Sudden.

A few naughty children were chasing and playing in the distance, making bursts of silvery laughter.

But they were soon driven away by a tall man holding a spear. The latter's unintentional glance made the marines present feel a chill.

"He's a top sniper!"

Doze made an instant judgment, got goosebumps all over his body, and subconsciously assumed a fighting stance.

But Fan Oka had already gone far away.

He gently stroked the Qianlu in his hand, turned his head to look at the warships in the distance, and wondered in his heart how many shots he would need to detonate all the ammunition depots on the warships.

"Five shots?"

"No!"

"Two shots are enough!"

……

Duoze looked at the guards patrolling in the distance with a wary look on his face.

The marine standing behind him slowly put down his weapon.

Looking at the peaceful port in front of them and the smiles on those people's faces, they couldn't help but begin to doubt.

"Is this place...really a pirate disguise, as Colonel Ain said?"

“But are the smiles on the faces of those civilians and children really fake?”

……

As soon as the questioning voice arose, it was suppressed by Duoze's cold gaze.

He looked at the marines present and said calmly:
"Justice is absolute!"

"Don't be fooled by these appearances!" "You are facing the most cunning pirate in the world!"

The marines fell silent instantly, but the seeds of doubt had already been planted.

Is this blind faith without explanation really correct?

No one can answer the questions in their minds, but as long as the doubts exist, they will not disappear.

……

……

……

Red Dragon Street.

Fujitora led Ain through the streets, greeting the pirates passing by.

This scene even gave Ein the illusion that he was among civilians, but he could see traces of pirate symbols in their clothes.

The sense of disconnection even made him feel at a loss.

"Are these all pirates?!"

Fujitora nodded:
"They are pirates, and they were once civilians."

Ian's eyes turned cold in an instant, especially when he thought of what happened to Zefa.

"Even if they were once civilians, it doesn't mean that the crimes they committed after becoming pirates are justified. This is also true for pirates under the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"of course."

Fujitora nodded calmly, then said:

"But in addition to arresting pirates who are causing trouble, the navy should also think about how to reduce the birth of pirates from the root, right?"

Ai En was slightly startled, then looked up at Fujitora and said:
"As long as all the pirates on the ocean are defeated, no new pirates will be born."

Fujitora was silent.

He subconsciously quickened his pace and walked towards the fields behind Chilong Street.

soon.

The two found Zephyr and Smoker in a wheat field that had just sprouted new green shoots.

This was beyond Ain's expectations.

At this moment, Zefa was bending down, carefully clearing the weeds in the field, looking like an old farmer, and even chatting and laughing with the pirates around him from time to time.

"Zeff...Sensei?"

Ain spoke in disbelief, and then she saw Zefa's smiling face and was stunned for a moment.

It’s because Zefa’s hostility has completely disappeared.

He was as calm as when he was teaching at the Naval Academy and watching his students grow up to become naval backbones.

Calm, serene, even the expression on his face was filled with hope.

Yes! It is hope!
She saw hope in the eyes of the man in front of her again, not just an avenger supported by hatred.

moment.

Ain cried with joy, because the teacher who once led her on the path of justice had returned.

"Ain, are you finally here?"

Zefa smiled faintly, then pointed to the wheat seedlings in the field and said:
"Look."

"I planted all of these. In a few months, you'll be able to eat bread made from the wheat I planted myself!"

"In the end what happened?"

Ian asked in confusion.

She was surprised at Zefa's sudden change, because the man in front of her had been completely reborn, but she was also confused as to where this change came from.

Zefa said calmly:
"I have to thank the guy in the port for all this. He woke me up and made me start to look at the world, the navy, and our justice."

“Finally I found my answer.”

Accompanied by words.

The golden and warm sunlight fell from the sky and hit Zefa.

At this moment, Ain even had the illusion that Zefa was glowing. At the same time, a face appeared in her mind. She said in disbelief:
"That man... is he talking about the knight Gawain?!"

The next moment, Ain denied this answer:
"impossible!"

"He is just a pirate. How could he be able to do something that all the navy has never done?"

"No!"

Zefa interrupted Ain, even with a hint of gratitude in his tone:

"it's him."

"To be honest, if he hadn't become a pirate and even taken the title of Shichibukai, he would be the man most suitable to bear the responsibility of justice."

"Even Sakaski or Kuzan can't compare to him."

"Those eyes can see through the surface and see the essence."

"Whether it's about pirates themselves or the problems in the navy today, he sees it much more clearly than I do."

When the voice fell, Ain stood there in a daze.

She had never heard Zefa give such high praise to a marine, not to mention that Gawain was a pirate?
Even the current three admirals of the navy and even Sengoku, in Zefa's eyes, have more or less problems, but overall their merits outweigh their flaws.

But now Zefa's evaluation of Gawain has reached a level that she cannot understand.

"Teacher Zefa, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Ian was slightly startled, then turned to look at Smoger, who also nodded and said:

"That guy really went much further than us."

talking.

Smoker's expression was a little stiff. He turned his head to look at Fujitora, and after seeing that the latter was blind and could not see his expression, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Although I don't like to admit it, what that guy said is... right."

"There are huge problems with the ills within the Navy and the current path of the Navy. Our justice has deviated from the foundation of its growth and is also far away from those who truly need to be protected."

"That's why there are more and more pirates."

Fujitora was stunned, feeling the emotion in Smoker's voice, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Are you telling him you're sorry?"

Smoger's eyes twitched, but he did not deny it:

"Just say so."
