The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

When Luther's eyes met the other person's, the other person merely gave him a cold look before calmly looking away.

He looked at Luther as if he were a complete stranger, as if he had no idea who Luther was.

Seeing this, Luther raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself, "How interesting, already disliked the moment we met..."

The middle-aged man standing in the center was former Navy Admiral Zephyr, and also the head of the elite training camp.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire new generation of the Navy are his students.

“Your Highness, it must be because of me that Teacher Zefa is here.”

Gion apologized softly, believing that it was her betrayal of the Navy that caused Zephyr to have a bad impression of Luther.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Luther shook his head and smiled, saying:

"Even if you hadn't joined CP0, Chief Instructor Zephyr wouldn't have given me a friendly look."

Just as Gion said before, Zephyr seems to dislike the World Government's bureaucrats.

"That's true!"

hum!

Zepha, who was just a hundred meters away, suddenly appeared beside Luther and his companion.

Zephyr first frowned, looking at Gion's attire, and said:

"Why betray your own justice, Gion!"

He arrived so quickly that Gion didn't even realize what was happening until he finished speaking.

Gion's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her hand resting on the hilt of Kinpira's sword, her gaze unwavering as she said:

“Professor Zephyr, I never thought of betraying my sense of justice. I believe I am doing the right thing.”

Holding a knife against her teacher was something she could hardly have imagined before.

But when Zephyr appeared next to Luther, she instinctively gripped the knife, ready to strike at the slightest movement from Zephyr.

Zephyr knew Gion well, and seeing her actions, his eyes showed surprise.

"I'm a little curious, what did you promise Gion?"

Zefa glanced at Luther, completely disregarding his status.

Now that he has even resigned from his position as a general, he is all alone and has no ties to him, so he doesn't have many things to care about anymore.

When he was still an admiral, he witnessed many of the Celestial Dragons' evil deeds.

If it weren't for the fact that pirates were even more despicable, and that his family was also implicated, he would have lost his temper long ago.

"I'm just letting Gion come with me so she can see the world. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

Luther's lips curled slightly, and his domineering aura unconsciously emanated from him.

Zefa put a lot of pressure on him. Even though the other party had no intention of making a move, the pressure from Zefa was still very real.

Although he has stepped down from his position as general, it does not mean that Zephyr's strength has declined; he is still at his peak.

"Conqueror's Haki... You Celestial Dragon are quite different from the others."

Zephyr grinned; he roughly understood why Gion had chosen Luther.

Those who possess Conqueror's Haki possess a kingly charisma that irresistibly draws others in.

It's not impossible that a naive young girl from Gion would be captivated by Luther, the possessor of such power.

However, Zephyr didn't care. Given Luther's background and potential, it was a good outcome for him, at least better than staying in the Navy.

"Thank you for the compliment. It is the aura of a powerful figure like Chief Instructor Zefa that I admire even more."

Luther smiled slightly and then said:

"Chief Instructor Zefa, I also brought you a gift this time!"

As he spoke, he tossed a Den Den Mushi at Zephyr.

Zephyr subconsciously took the video Den Den Mushi and frowned:

"what is this?"

“It contains some things that might interest you. You can take a look when no one is around,” Luther said with a smile.

He didn't think the Den Den Mushi could change Zephyr's stance, but it was enough to make him change his attitude.

Even if you don't say it out loud, you still have expectations in your heart.

If he didn't kill General Zefa, did he really have no intention of killing the enemy who killed his wife and children?

If there really wasn't anything wrong, why resign from the position of general...?

"Hope isn't something bad."

Zefa eventually accepted it, vaguely guessing what was inside.

"Be careful later! As for your request for me to help you become stronger, we'll talk about that later."

Hearing Zephyr's somewhat off tone, Luther sensed something was amiss and frowned slightly.

"Chief Instructor Zefa, is there something you need?"

Whether Zefa helps him with training or not is secondary; that was just an excuse for him to come to Zefa.

Judging from what the other party is saying, it seems that someone is targeting him.

“I can see that you’re missing something right now. There’s an old guy who wants to cause you trouble. For the sake of this thing, I’ll give you some advice: face it head-on instead of running away. Alright, he’s here. I look forward to our next meeting.”

Zefa was halfway through his sentence when he looked up at the direction of the naval building, turned around and walked out, shouting for the cadets to follow him to the beach for training.

The elite training camp participants were naval personnel before they came here and had received professional training.

In just 30 seconds, the trainees had assembled and quickly left the training ground, leaving only an empty training ground.

"That old guy's giving me trouble..."

Luther frowned, pondering the deeper meaning of those words.

Naval Headquarters, there don't seem to be many old guys who would attack him.

Considering what he did in Ohara, it could only be that person...

Thinking of this, Luther's expression changed slightly.

He was a bit careless; that person really dared to fight a Celestial Dragon!

Chapter 25 The Old Guy Comes to the Door

hum! ! !

Shortly after the students left, a whooshing sound came from behind Luther and his companion, and a dark figure appeared behind them in the blink of an eye.

Gion turned around immediately and saw that familiar yet hostile face. Her expression changed drastically, but she still resolutely drew her sword and stood behind Luther.

boom!

The enormous fist slammed into Kinpira, and the immense force instantly tore through Gion's defenses.

A trickle of blood spilled from Gion's mouth, and her body flew backward limply like a willow catkin.

Luther had just turned around when he was hit squarely by Gion, who flew up and crashed into him. The force of the impact made him lose his balance and he could only stumble backward.

Fortunately, Gion had already reduced most of the force, but even so, Luther stumbled for dozens of meters before stopping, and his chest ached terribly against Gion's.

"Lieutenant General Garp!!!"

Luther gritted his teeth and stared at the man who had attacked him. It was a short-haired, unkempt middle-aged man standing there with his hands in his pockets and his right hand picking at his nose, as if he hadn't just thrown the punch.

He never expected that Garp would dare to attack him at Navy Headquarters.

Ultimately, it was his carelessness that caused the problem...

Just as Luther stood still, another figure appeared beside Garp.

General Sengoku.

He was about the same age as Garp, but judging from his neat white suit, well-groomed afro, and beard, he was clearly a man who paid attention to detail.

"Garp, don't be impulsive!"

General Sengoku stared intently at Garp, his muscles, hidden by his suit, bulging high, as if he were ready to pounce at any moment.

On the contrary, Garp raised his chin and glanced sideways at Luther:

"Kid, if you're a man, don't hide behind a woman."

Luther ignored Karp and stroked Gion in his arms with a hint of tenderness. The smooth and delicate skin on her back moved inch by inch against his palm, like a fish swimming in water.

In a different setting, such intimate contact would inevitably lead to further actions, but at this moment, he was only worried about Gion's physical condition.

He met Gion's gaze and saw a look of reassurance in her pomegranate-red eyes before raising his head to stare intently at Garp.

"Garp, you are a vice admiral in the Navy, a hero of the Navy!!"

His anger was almost overflowing, and his Conqueror's Haki pressed down on his opponent uncontrollably!

But that pale Conqueror's Haki was clearly no match for Garp.

Garp's face was full of displeasure. He spat and clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

"Today I'm not some naval hero, just an ordinary person seeking justice. You should know what you've done. You're more disgusting than those guys who cause trouble in the Sabaody Archipelago every day."

Upon hearing this, Luther's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint in them.

He naturally knew where his problem lay.

Naively thinking that pushing Kizaru out would solve his problems, he ended up getting himself into trouble instead.

Being disliked by the dove generals wouldn't have been a big deal for him; he had originally planned to abandon the dove faction in exchange for the support of the neutral faction, which Kizaru belonged to.

But the only one they overlooked was Garp, who was fearless and invincible.

Given Garp's strength and the achievements of a naval hero, as long as he isn't killed today, nothing serious should happen.

At most, they'd just fine him some of his salary and put him in solitary confinement, and that would be the end of it.
