No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

Marie's heart trembled, and her fearful gaze seemed to pierce through the trash can, peering outside...

"It was hidden inside the trash can..."

"This is such a surprise..."

"Hahahaha~ The mission is complete~"

Gehao's excited voice reached his mother's ears, making her, who was already anxious, even more flustered.

She was powerless and didn't know how to protect her child.

Gehao acted swiftly, showing no disgust for the filthy garbage, and casually stirred it around in the trash can.

In less than three seconds, he grabbed a child with light purple hair from the trash can and grabbed him by the neck with one hand.

Mary Ling, her expression agitated, charged forward and began to violently attack the strong man, who was three or four meters tall, like a shrew.

However, they did not have any influence on the other party's actions at all.

But as a mother, seeing her child struggling and crying in the hands of this robber...

Marilyn's heart was breaking...

A child is born after a mother carries it for ten months...

This is my mother's precious child...

At that moment, how much Marilyn wished for her husband...

The powerful man who could offer her the warmest embrace could finally appear by her side...

But how could Zephyr, who received his mission orders early in the morning and had already headed to the sea, suddenly appear at home...?

At this moment, the only person standing before him was the demon gripping the child's neck!

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Zefa's woman to be so pretty!"

As Marilyn continued to pound his body with her tender fists, Gehao suddenly felt a perverse sensation.

"Watch closely! The person who killed your child is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 300 million Berries!"

Gehau gave a twisted smile, then suddenly tightened his grip on his fingers!

Click!

Right in front of the mother, he twisted the child's neck repeatedly...

Until he completely lost his support and collapsed to the ground!

Hahahahahahaha~

"This is what happens when you disobey, Zephyr~"

After letting out a hearty laugh, Gehao waved his hand, signaling his men to continue with the work.

A few minutes later.

The naval officers and soldiers from the Navy Headquarters arrived late.

The crowd, their eyes filled with tears of blood, remained silent for a long time as they watched their families shatter.

Countless bodies of family members were scattered haphazardly around the street.

“That’s Zephyr’s….”

The leader of the group, Sengoku, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

My heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, leaving me speechless. I could only tremble and point my finger out.

A bloody hole appeared on her forehead, yet she still tightly clutched the corpse of a child in her arms...

.....

A few years before the God Valley Incident, he was 34 years old and a Vice Admiral (admiral candidate) in the Marine Headquarters.

At the start of the God Valley Incident, he was 38 years old and, due to his powerful Armament Haki, was promoted to Marine Headquarters (Admiral).

He married in the same year he became a general, and his son was born in 1485.

Chapter 171 Zephyr the Murderer

The latter half of the Grand Line... on a certain sea area.

A warship flying a seagull flag is speeding forward, cutting through the waves.

"Mr. Zephyr is truly magnanimous!"

"Yes, yes, we were just misguided civilians, but the Navy's sense of justice has completely won us over~"

"You'll let us go like you did before, right?"

The makeshift prison on the warship held hordes of pirates.

At this moment, these pirates showed no fear whatsoever despite being captured by the Navy.

Because they knew that although the Admiral in front of them was powerful, he was a man who believed in justice and did not kill.

In recent years, Zefa's reputation has been booming in both the underworld and the legitimate world.

But absolutely no pirate is afraid of him.

Because he has never harmed a single life.

Even the most vicious pirates are lucky enough to survive if they encounter Zephyr.

However, these indifferent pirates were completely unaware of the purple-haired man in front of them, who had always been known for his gentle and refined manners.

At this moment, his face, seemingly shrouded in shadow and darkness, was so somber that his expression was impossible to discern.

The deep darkness, like a thick veil, completely obscured his inner world. Sunlight streamed through the warship's windows onto his face, but it couldn't penetrate the gloom, making his features appear exceptionally somber. Every line conveyed a sense of heaviness and oppression, as if bearing endless worry and sorrow.

“Marilyn…you must wait for me…”

Zeff, who was just about to let the pirates go, looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, whose signal had been abruptly cut off for some reason...

A hoarse whisper.

He had no idea what had happened at the family quarters behind the Navy Headquarters when he answered the phone.

But Zefa was certain that his wife and son were in an extremely dangerous situation at that moment!

And before he hung up the phone, he vaguely heard his wife shouting...the world...and then there was no more news.

In order to understand everything as quickly as possible and resolve the safety issue.

Zephyr has given the order for all marines to return to Marine Headquarters as quickly as possible!

He had originally planned to let the pirates go.

At this moment, under the weight of his heart and the influence of the noisy pirates, a strong desire to kill arose.

He looked at the still-smiling pirates with a dark gaze and said nothing.

He silently used the key in his hand to open the prison gate.

Seeing this, the other pirates naturally became even more excited.

A group of crazed pirates laughed incessantly, grateful to Zephyr for sparing their lives.

"Hahahaha!!! I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Mr. Zephyr~"

"Thank you for sparing our lives!"

"Then let's say goodbye. I hope I never have to see you again."

A pirate who seemed to be naturally outgoing approached the gloomy-faced Zephyr, patted him on the shoulder, and then casually strode away from the warship.

Bang bang bang! ! ! !

However, before the pirate could finish speaking, Zephyr's strong body suddenly leaped into the air, and his large foot stomped down, causing the pirate's head to explode, splattering blood everywhere!

His entire body was smashed into a pile of minced meat! The manner of his death was extremely gruesome!

hiss~

The marines who witnessed Admiral Zephyr's bloody scene for the first time gasped in shock.

With a mix of excitement and anticipation, he looked at General Zephyr, who had finally agreed to make a move.

"Admiral Zephyr's strength is indeed terrifying... He's never actually killed a Fire Pirate before, yet he's shown such a bloody side..."

"Hey, hey, hey, why do I feel like Admiral Zephyr's mood is a bit off today? Did something happen?"

"Who cares... these vicious pirates should be killed, anyway, I'll always follow Admiral Zephyr!"

Looking at General Zephyr, whose military boots were covered in bits of flesh, and the long trail of blood left by the police officers in the cell, one could see him.

The marines were absolutely overjoyed.

In their eyes, General Zephyr had finally managed to break free from his stubborn, non-killing mentality.

.....

Chapter 172 I am going to become the man of Kozuki Oden!

At the same time that Zephyr, enraged and furious, repeatedly smashed the heads of dozens of pirates in the temporary prison on the warship, leaving the floor covered in blood, he killed them all at once.

A sweet, innocent female voice, so endearing it evoked the atmosphere of Onigashima in Wano Country, the latter half of the Grand Line.

However, what sounded quite cute to others was extremely unpleasant to Kaido's ears, even reaching the level of being ear-piercing and noisy!

"Damn it! You're my son, Kaido's son! How could you say you'd become a useless piece of trash?!"

"Listen up, Yamato! You're going to be the heir to the Oni clan! You absolutely can't say you want to be like Kozuki Oden anymore!!!"

Kaido, his face reeking of alcohol, looked at the innocent and adorable child in front of him and solemnly reminded his daughter.
