The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 483 The Bet

It has to be said that this is also a kind of implicit irony.

Charlotte looked at Zephyr's gloomy and uncertain face and continued speaking.

"Actually, what's the big difference between the Navy and the Four Emperors' crews? It's just that their beliefs and interests are different."

Zefa looked up at Charlotte in surprise, seemingly disagreeing with her statement.

"The Navy is the Navy, and pirates are pirates. How can they be the same?"

Zephyr interrupted him, but his gaze quickly dimmed; the Navy had ultimately betrayed him.

Charlotte chuckled softly.

Was the God Valley incident just? Was the Ohara incident just? Was the extermination of the non-affiliates by the Buster Call just?...

Charlotte's every word pierced Zephyr's heart.

As a former high-ranking naval officer, how could he not know the truth about these things?

He did go too far, but it was out of necessity. He still disagreed with Charlotte's words: a thief is a thief.

Charlotte remained calm and asked, "Then is it just to abandon hardworking veteran marines?"

Hearing these words, Zefa felt a chill run down his spine; they were so real and cruel.

This finally drove this legendary veteran, who had fought countless battles and dedicated his life to the navy, to utter despair.

Charlotte just watched quietly; those words were hurtful, but there was nothing she could do.

How else could he make Zephyr completely lose faith in the Navy?

Zephyr was lost in endless memories. As a young man, he harbored a dream of becoming a hero and believed that only by joining the Navy could he realize his dream.

On the battlefield, he was never afraid of death, fought bravely, and rose step by step to become a naval admiral, putting his beliefs into practice.

Those years were truly wonderful, without so many twists and turns, only a pure belief in justice.

justice?

His dream of justice!

Then his eyes suddenly hardened.

An idea finally took root in his mind: since the Navy's justice was not pure, he would form a new Navy to uphold the justice in his heart.

Charlotte was slightly surprised; he had naturally noticed Zephyr's sudden change.

"Hippefeller Charlotte, give up! There's no way I could ever become a pirate."

Zephyr firmly rejected Charlotte's invitation.

Faced with Zephyr's unwavering determination, Charlotte sighed softly.

Knew it!

His verbal skills are really lacking; he doesn't have the luck of the protagonist, Luffy!

You're really overthinking things.

Come to think of it, his accumulated wealth and strength were always built step by step through hard work.

Of course, he didn't show any anger at Zephyr's rejection.

If a legendary naval veteran were truly moved by just a few words.

He began to suspect that the other party might have ulterior motives.

Thank goodness!

He was prepared.

"So, you want to establish a new navy to uphold your own sense of justice?"

His calm tone and unwavering gaze surprised Zefa slightly; he hadn't expected the other party to have seen through his thoughts.

It's as terrifying as ever.

Zefa remained silent without denying it; once he took further action, it would be impossible to hide such a thing.

It doesn't matter whether you say it or not.

Charlotte was completely at ease; he naturally knew that Zephyr wanted to establish a new navy.

After all, that's how the story originally went, but establishing a navy requires warships, weapons, and ammunition...

That's just small change!

The number of Pelés needed is definitely not small, and given Zefa's current condition, it will probably take several years to succeed.

"How about we make a bet? If your mind hasn't changed by then, I'll give you some money to start a new navy, how about that?"

Charlotte looked at Zephyr, waiting for his reply.

"It's impossible for me to join the pirates."

Zephyr was not fooled by Charlotte's tempting offer; he knew his own limitations now.

It's impossible for him to beat Charlotte, and the other party didn't even mention his conditions for winning.

"We will not force you to join a pirate crew and will never make things difficult for you. The Hibernian family has always kept its promises and will not break the rules."

Zephyr was moved. Although the Heberfeller family were pirates, their commitment to keeping promises was well-known.

Even he, who despises pirates, had to admit the differences of the Heberfeller Pirates.

If he really doesn't keep his promise, he can just end his own life.

"What bet?"

Zefa voiced his doubts, reasoning that the risk was worth taking to save time.

"Come back to the continent of Heberfeller with me. If you travel there for a month and still hold fast to your current dream, I will give you funds."

Zephyr was slightly surprised. "It's that simple?"

Charlotte smiled. "It's that simple?"

Such simple conditions were truly unbelievable, and Zefa suspected that the other party had ulterior motives.

This made him hesitate. Would the other party threaten him with his disciple and force him to submit?

He was well aware of the cunning of pirates; otherwise, how could his family have met such a tragic end?

"Don't worry, as long as they follow the rules, I will ensure the safety of your disciples."

Zephyr was completely taken aback.

This was a promise made by Hibernian Charlotte himself, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, a promise he always kept.

He had nothing left to hesitate about.

"Okay, I'll take the bet."

He also wanted to see what the other party was up to.

But Zephyr suddenly spoke up, "How about we have a match before that?"

A contest?

Charlotte tilted her head. Was Zephyr still going to compete with her in this state?

To put it bluntly, Zephyr can't hold out for long under his command. Isn't he just asking for trouble?

Ze looked at Charlotte with a serious expression. He didn't want to leave with regrets and dejection, facing his former rival.

He wanted to see for himself just how big the gap was between the two who were once rivals.

This was the only remaining obsession in his heart.

Faced with Zefa's provocation, Hariri shook his head slightly, thinking that the opponent was overestimating himself in his current state.

"Great, I happen to have some free time!"

Charlotte replied with a "whoosh," and walked out of the hot spring wrapped in a bath towel.

This can be considered a perfect ending to the story of being hunted down by Zephyr!

……

……

Inside the massive canyon in the center of the island!

Two figures stood facing each other, a gentle breeze stirring up the sound of sand rubbing against each other.

Charlotte looked at the other person calmly.

Zepha's arm, equipped with a huge Seastone prosthetic, looked imposing, but it was also quite clumsy.

next second!

Zefa paused for a moment, then shot off with a "whoosh," creating a powerful shockwave as he hurtled towards the destination.

It arrived in front of Charlotte in an instant, and the huge Seastone prosthetic arm slammed down on Charlotte.

Charlotte lightly touched the ground with her feet and easily retreated.

"Boom!"

With a dull thud, the immense force of the impact instantly created a huge crater in the ground, and the rocky surface shattered like ocean waves, whipping up a gust of wind.

"Not bad!"

Charlotte nodded slightly. The attack was quite strong, which showed that Edward Weevil was indeed incredibly strong.

While Zephyr's struggles with his students were partly to blame, this cannot negate his strength.

Was Edward Weebull actually Whitebeard's son or a clone?

This is indeed very puzzling!

Even though he and Whitebeard had a good relationship, it wasn't appropriate to pry into such private matters.

My thoughts were churning!

Zefa roared, and the two began to fight.
