When he found Zephyr, they were strolling around the Sabaody Archipelago. Smoker put away his former edge and greeted Zephyr with Tina: "Teacher Zephyr, you are finally here."

Zephyr patted Smoker's shoulder vigorously, his eyes full of satisfaction, "Smoker, you did a good job! I haven't congratulated you in person yet. Congratulations on your promotion to admiral."

At this time, the three disciples following Zefa, Ein, Binz and Xiu Zuo, also stepped forward and saluted Smoker.

An anxious Ein asked first: "Admiral Smoker, where is the pirate you mentioned who can help the teacher recover his arm?"

Smoker explained, "He should be wandering around the island, but that's okay, I'll take you to the naval base and then send someone to call him back."

Although the group was confused about the agreed location with the pirates, they still followed Smoker to the naval base.

When the team arrived at the naval base, the murloc soldiers quickly conveyed the news to Tashigi who was busy sorting out documents.

After hearing the report from her subordinates, Tashigi knew that the previous task was about to be accomplished, so she quickly called Al and walked out to greet him.

Smoker went straight to the point and introduced Zephyr and his disciples, and asked about the whereabouts of Al.

Dashiqi replied: "I have contacted him and he will be back soon."

At this time, Zefa also learned the information about the new base commander of the Sabaody Archipelago from his disciples.

He said earnestly: "Dashiqi, on the way here, I saw that the people here are very satisfied with the navy, which proves that you are more suitable to become an excellent naval officer."

In response to Zephyr's teachings, Dashigi did not refute, but politely replied: "Thank you for your praise, Master Zephyr."

Not long after, Al, wearing a hooded robe and a mask, walked into the hall. "Mr. Zephyr, welcome here." Al greeted enthusiastically.

Zefa asked cautiously, "I have heard of your name, former Shichibukai Eir. What is your purpose in seeking me out?"

El smiled and replied: "Mr. Zefa, you worry too much. I came to you to repair your limbs. But in exchange, I hope you can introduce some kind and righteous navy to Tashigi."

Zephyr originally did not intend to agree to El's request easily, but after seeing Tashigi's outstanding ability in commanding the navy in the Sabaody Archipelago, he was moved by her talent.

Even though El may have ulterior motives, he will do his best to help Tashigi protect the base.

So he nodded and agreed: "I agree to this condition. If you can really restore my original broken limbs as you said, I will use my reputation to recommend some navy officers for you."

Seeing Zefa's cooperation, Al continued to explain: "If you want to restore your arm, you need to draw your blood for cloning, grow a new arm, and then ask a professional doctor to reattach the arm through surgery."

Although Al described the whole process in a light-hearted manner, Ain and others still couldn't help but frown when they heard such a plan.

Ian asked, "Mr. Al, how long does it take to clone a new arm? How is the operation performed? Can the arm really be completely restored to its original appearance?"

Al began to explain, "If everything goes well, the new arm will be ready in about half a month, and the expert responsible for performing the surgery will probably arrive at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Zefa thought for a moment and nodded. If he could really recover his arm, waiting for half a month would be nothing.

So, Al returned to the room and took out the prepared blood drawing device.

Although it cannot be compared with the equipment in the Vegapunk Research Institute, it is enough to properly preserve the bloodline factor for a period of time.

When he returned to the hall, he found Smoker waiting for him outside the door.

"What's wrong? Smoker."

Smoker hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Al, can this treatment method also be used on Kuzan?"

Only then did Al remember that there was also a problem with Kuzan's foot, but he had ignored the problem because he had not seen him.

"I think that's possible." Al continued, "Or you can contact Kuzan, and when he arrives, I will make a clone limb for him."

After drawing blood, Al left with the bloodline factor on the pretext of something, and contacted Sakya to add an order for Kuzan's left foot.

And Tashigi continued to talk with Zephyr, because El had something else that he needed to convey to Zephyr through her.

"Lord Zephyr, I heard that the pirate who cut off your arm is now receiving attention from the World Government, and they seem to be interested in inviting him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

This sentence was like a bombshell, and Zefa's face turned pale in an instant. The only two survivors, Ian and Binz, could not hide their anger.

Smoker knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly asked, "Dashiki, is this true? Where did you get the news?"

"This is what our captain told me before. When he was negotiating with CP0, the other party mentioned this matter."

In fact, CP0 never mentioned this matter, but what she said was not completely groundless.

There have been frequent reports about Whitebeard II in newspapers recently, which has attracted Al's attention.

Considering that Whitebeard II did join the Seven Warlords of the Sea during this period, Eru guessed that this was the World Government building up momentum for him.

That's why Al asked Dashiki to make this matter clear, hoping to change Zefa's mind first.

Looking at Zephyr's unpredictable expression, Dashigi continued, "Lord Zephyr, our captain asked me to return to the navy because he hopes to establish a new and more righteous naval force in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"New navy?" Zefa's curiosity was aroused and he asked.

Chapter 199 Zefa's Wavering

"Yes." Dashigi nodded affirmatively and continued to explain: "There are many problems in the current naval system. My captain, Al, saw with his own eyes the chief of the East China Sea naval base forging military merits and oppressing the people. He could no longer bear it and chose to leave the navy and seek justice as a pirate."

Then, she continued to give examples, "My companions have lived under the shadow of pirates since they were young, and the reason why those pirates can get away with it is because they have colluded with the navy and received undue protection."

Seeing that teacher Zefa was lost in deep thought, Binz could not help but ask, "Then how can you be sure that the navy you created with your own hands will not repeat the same mistakes and become a mixed bag of good and bad people like the navy today?"

Dashigi shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this. After all, everyone has their own thoughts and will, which cannot be completely controlled by any force."

Ian then asked, "So according to what you said, won't your new navy also face the same problem?"

Dashigi shook her head again and said with a firm look, "Although Elta is actively looking for a suitable solution, but before that, all I can do is to do my best to cut off all pirates' hopes of reaching the New World from here. From now on, all pirates who dare to set foot on the Grand Line will meet their end here and be judged by justice."

There was a determination and firmness in Tashigi's words, which touched Zefa's heartstrings to a certain extent.

However, he did not express his opinion immediately. He just turned to Smoker and said, "Smoker, please go to Mary Geoise and find out about this matter for me."

"Okay, Mr. Zefa, I'll go check it now."

After Smoker finished speaking, he hurriedly left the naval base with Tina and headed towards Mary Joa to find out the truth of the matter.

At the same time, Al had contacted Law through Kaya and invited him to visit the Sabaody Archipelago.

In exchange, Al will reveal to Luo the news about the historical text of the second signpost.

After learning the news, Luo accepted Al's invitation without hesitation.

At this time, he was busy hunting for pirates' hearts, intending to use these trophies to exchange for the qualifications to become a Shichibukai.

And Marijoa is the final destination where he will submit the Pirate Heart and apply to become a Shichibukai.

When Al stepped into the naval base again, he saw Tashigi sitting alone in the hall, brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something important.

Seeing Al coming, Tashigi talked to him about her conversation with Zefa and the others.

Hearing Dashigi's question, Al shook his head slightly, with a bitter smile on his face: "I really have no way to solve this problem. No matter how perfect the system is, as long as time passes and the organization expands, various problems will inevitably arise."

After a brief silence, Al gave a possible speculation: "Perhaps we can try the cloning technology created by Reiju's family. Only clones of this kind that completely obey orders and are not affected by any external factors can supplement and improve the system and maintain its purity."

At the same time, Ain, Binz and Binz were discussing their teacher's plans in private, and they were filled with anxiety about the future.

"Teacher Zephyr, if what Brigadier General Dashiqi said is true..."

Before Ian finished speaking, Zefa waved his hand and interrupted him, "It's too early to say this now. Even if this really happened, it only means that the top leaders of the navy have deviated from their original intention."

Shortly after Zephyr returned to the battleship, Binz also brought intelligence about recent events in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Zephyr read the information carefully, and his satisfaction gradually increased. Tashigi's approach was obviously in line with his expectations for the new generation of navy.

So Zephyr immediately took action, contacting his former students through Den Den Mushi and began to recruit the kind of new soldiers that Tashigi wanted for the Sabaody Archipelago.

With his profound influence in the navy, he quickly recruited batches of new soldiers from all over the place.

For his former students, giving up their current positions and going to the Sabaody Archipelago might be a difficult task, but it would be easy to dispatch some kind and righteous soldiers from under his command.

Thanks to Zefa's efforts, several troop transport ships began to transport new recruits to the Sabaody Archipelago from bases in various places.

Soon after, Smoker and Tina came to the warship again and brought the latest news from Mary Geoise.

"Teacher Zephyr, I have personally inquired carefully with Spandam, the former head of CP9. The World Government is indeed in contact with Whitebeard II, but the specific plan on whether to invite him to become a Shichibukai is still uncertain."

There was a hint of heaviness in Smoker's words. "I also contacted Marshal Sakaski, but he knew nothing about this matter. The World Government did not inform the Navy of this plan. Marshal Sakaski said he would negotiate with the World Government."

After hearing Smoker's report, Zefa's mood suddenly became heavy.

After letting his disciples leave, he closed the door alone and fell into deep conflict and thought. He had begun to question and distrust the navy.

In this contradiction and struggle, Zefa began to look for his own answer, an answer that could lead the navy to a new life.

On this night, as the moonlight shone on the sparkling sea, Jinbe led Moria's huge and terrifying three-masted sailing ship slowly into the harbor of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Perona happily hugged her childhood playmate Kumasi. Ever since she returned to the Thriller Bark and found the bear doll, her face has been filled with smiles.

Tashigi, who had received a notice from Perona in advance, had already arranged for the fishmen to transport daily necessities to the harbor for loading onto the ship.

The navy loaded cargo in an orderly manner and made final preparations for tomorrow's voyage.

At this time, accompanied by Tashigi, Al came to the outside of the Navy Guerrilla's warship.

After hearing his disciple's report, Zefa temporarily put aside the heavy emotions in his heart.

He walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck, facing the sea breeze, and met Tashigi and Al.

Although his face looked a little haggard, his eyes still sparkled with determination and courage.

Tashigi turned her head and looked at El, their eyes met in the air, and they understood each other tacitly. Zephyr might have already learned the news that Whitebeard II became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Although Whitebeard II was a mentally handicapped guy, his mother, Bajingom Stussy, was a shrewd person.

As long as the World Government invites her, she will never easily refuse such rights and status.

Chapter 200 Closing Operation

Facing Zefa's current state, Dashigi briefly explained the purpose of her visit: "Lord Zefa, our ship has arrived, and we are ready to start the operation to capture all the pirates on the island and take them away for detention."

Zefa nodded slightly and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Is it because of a shortage of manpower? I can let everyone cooperate with your actions. If you plan to send them to Impel Prison, our warships can also help escort them."

Dashigi shook her head and explained, "Thank you, Master Zephyr, but only those pirates with huge bounties will be sent to Impel Prison. As for those ordinary minions, I plan to send them directly to labor reform. This will save resources and allow them to contribute to society."

Then, Tashigi took out several maps, which detailedly marked the resting locations of all the pirates on the island and their information.

This is the information collected by Horry, the only one who escaped before, through his men's hard work.

Since the underground forces were completely wiped out last time, the survivor Huo Li found Xia Qi.

After being hit hard with a bamboo stick by her, he was introduced to Xia Qi.

From then on, they acted as the Navy's secret agents and continued to collect intelligence needed by the Navy in the Sabaody Archipelago.

It was based on Xia Qi's intelligence that Al knew that Hori and his men's main target was the pirates' luggage, so he decided to let them go.

Tashigi spoke clearly to Zefa, "Lord Zefa, according to intelligence, some pirates are only anchored on ships near the coast and are not resting on the island. I'll trouble you and your fleet to capture these pirates."

Tashigi handed Zephyr a map with detailed location of pirate ships on the coast and the corresponding bounty order.

Zefa took the map, examined it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will handle these targets at sea. However, there are more pirates on the island than here. Do you really not need my support?"

"Please rest assured, the pirates on the island will be dealt with by our captain himself." Dashigi continued, "Also, Jinbe, a former Shichibukai, will block the coast to ensure that those pirates cannot escape from the Sabaody Archipelago."

After the two parties reached a consensus, they immediately took action separately.

Dashigi stayed at the central base, ready to respond to any emergency that might arise at any time.

Garrott patrolled the air using Moonstep, ready to provide support at any time.

Perona was responsible for protecting the safety of the terrifying barque, while the other fish-man navy quickly set out to various target points to arrest the pirates who were knocked unconscious by El.

[Mission Name: Operation to Close the Net in the Sabaody Archipelago]

[Task type: Kill]

[Mission Objective: Kill the Devil Fruit users among the pirates and collect their Devil Fruits]

[Task Reward: Calculated based on killing the Devil Fruit ability user]

When everything was ready, Al took the lead and swept the archipelago in a carpet-like manner.

There must be pirates with the power of devil fruits on the island, and these people are the main targets of his operation this time.

The creation of the artificial surgery fruit, in addition to Law's bloodline factors, also requires a large amount of psychic devil fruits as materials. After all, his plan is not just an immortality surgery.

With his magical ability of the Voice of All Things, no pirate could escape his perception and they were all knocked to the ground by his powerful domineering aura.

Then, he used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to carefully check whether there were any Devil Fruit users around who were attracted by gravity, and took immediate action once he locked on the target.

Shortly after he left, the fish-man navy quickly arrived at the scene and surrounded the inn where the pirates were staying.

The store owner did not dare to be negligent and immediately cooperated to open the door and allow the navy to enter the store and take away all the pirates.
