Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Zefa took a deep breath and gathered all the power of his cosmos into his right arm.

His right arm muscles bulged high, and the veins protruded like earthworms.

The light emanating from the Saint Cloth seemed to illuminate the entire plaza.

"The dragon soars over Mount Lu".

This is one of the strongest techniques of the Libra Gold Saint.

A dazzling golden dragon shot out from his fist, carrying earth-shattering power.

"boom!"

A deafening roar shook the entire ancient city of Tesoro.

The surrounding buildings collapsed one after another, raising a huge cloud of dust, as if the end of the world had come.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Zephyr was still standing steadily in the same spot.

His right arm trembled slightly, but a hint of satisfaction was revealed in his eyes.

Gild Tezzolo lay on the ground, barely breathing. His body was mangled beyond recognition.

“You’ve lost, Gilder Tezzolo.”

Zefa stepped forward and said coldly.

At this moment, Garp also walked over, looked at Gild Tesoro lying on the ground, and said.

"Now, can we talk?"

Gild Tezzolo looked at the two people in front of him, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

He knew that he had completely failed.

"I surrender!"

"I promise you... whatever makes you happy..."

Gilder Tezzolo said weakly.

Zephyr and Garp exchanged a glance, a satisfied smile spreading across their faces.

Chapter 17: Fanny Meets Sengoku, Preparing to Return as a Pirate Undercover Agent

In the spacious yet somewhat oppressive offices at Naval Headquarters, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

Sengoku, Fleet Admiral of the Navy, the greatest traitor in the pirate world.

This once-renowned naval hero now has a furrowed brow.

Although his signature Buddha form was not revealed, the aura he exuded was still not to be underestimated.

Fanny stared intently at the seemingly cynical young man before him.

"So, kid, how many undercover agents are you planning to infiltrate?"

Sengoku's voice was deep and dignified, echoing in the empty office.

Fanny's lips curled up slightly, revealing a carefree smile.

The smile held a relaxed quality that seemed out of place in this serious setting.

He reached out and casually touched the little sheep that was working as a paper shredder next to him, then shrugged and said...

"Hey, that's fine, Grandpa Zhanfo."

"I have a fantastic method that can free the Navy from the clutches of those swine."

He even winked exaggeratedly as he spoke.

"Now, the decision-making power is in your hands, sir."

Fanny leaned forward slightly, placing his hands on Sengoku's desk, his eyes sharpening.

"You mean, 'the goddess Athena'?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhan Guo's eyes. He subconsciously sat up straight, his tone filled with doubt and anticipation.

"bingo!"

Fanny snapped his fingers excitedly.

"Moreover, the corruption problem within the navy should also be addressed."

"The Navy is under the control of the World Government, which boils down to three things."

Fanny found a chair and sat down in front of Sengoku.

He held up three fingers and shook them.

First, funding.

"Those Celestial Dragons are like greedy vampires, stuffing huge amounts of the Navy's funds into their own pockets."

"It's so bad that sometimes our navy can't even afford to repair a decent warship."

As he spoke, a look of disgust crossed his face, as if those Celestial Dragons were standing right in front of him.

"Secondly, strength."

Van Nistel continued.

"Although the Navy is full of powerful individuals, it is still slightly inferior to the forces secretly cultivated by the World Government."

"However, things have taken a turn for the better now."

He paused here, leaving the audience in suspense.

"There is a third, the power to destroy the world."

Fanny's voice deepened, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"This is of utmost importance."

"As for the funding issue, judging from the timeline, Garp and Zephyr should have almost resolved it by now."

Van Nistelrooy regained his relaxed demeanor.

“Old man Kapna may seem unreliable at times, but he’s actually quite capable when it comes to getting things done.”

"With Professor Zefa's assistance, securing the funding shouldn't be a problem."

"As for the issue of strength, Teacher Zephyr has already combined the training of Haki and Cosmo, and has begun training in the NEO Navy."

"Imagine a future where we naval soldiers each possess the dual power of domineering presence and inner strength."

"At that time, who will dare to underestimate our navy?"

"Now that the navy's overall strength has improved, it's only a matter of time."

"Finally, and most importantly, is the ability to resist that god's world-destroying power."

Fanny's eyes gleamed with a burning light.

"That's also my goal now."

He slowly walked to the window, looked at the vast and magnificent sea outside, and took a deep breath.

"Human-Human Fruit? Mythical Zoan type? Nika form, it has appeared."

"what?!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru, who had been sitting quietly to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Even her usually composed face showed a look of shock.

Sengoku also suddenly stood up and slammed his hands heavily on the desk.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true!"

Fanny turned around, a confident smile on his face.

"And he is also my target for this trip: Garp's grandson, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy."

"you sure?"

Sengoku's eyes were filled with suspicion. He sat back down in his chair, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Do you really think something that would make Shanks pay with an arm is just an ordinary Devil Fruit?"

Fanny raised an eyebrow and said with a mocking expression.

"Shanks is known for valuing his life, so anything he'd risk his life to protect must be something extraordinary."

Lieutenant General Tsuru pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Alright, kid, we agree."

"crane?"

Sengoku looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru with some surprise, seemingly puzzled by her decision so easily.

"The Warring States period may present an opportunity for our navy."

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a firm gaze.

"We can no longer be led by the nose by the world government."

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Fanny immediately put on a big smile.

"Lieutenant General Tsuru, you shall decide whether to accept or reject these Saint Cloth Stones."

"I have complete confidence in your vision and wisdom."

"Kid, you trust us that much?"

There was a hint of doubt in Zhan Guo's tone.

"Hey, the Navy has suffered under the World Government and the Celestial Dragons for too long. It's time to let them know what true justice is."

Van Nistel said with a smile.

"I believe that everyone in the Navy is a person with a sense of justice, but they have always been bound by the darkness of the World Government."
