Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Zephyr's original plan was to wait until the naval scientists had finished building his mechanical arm, and then leave the navy with a group of marines to hunt pirates as a "guerrilla force".

But that will present a problem.

That is, apart from Kaize himself, there were no other outstanding naval personnel in that "naval guerrilla force" who could stand alone.

To know.

Zefa's health condition is quite worrying.

In his normal state, Zephyr can indeed unleash combat power at the level of an admiral.

But Zephyr is sick!

And he was very sick!

Once the disease takes hold, Zefa will have difficulty even protecting himself, let alone maintaining his fighting ability.

In that situation, don't expect Zephyr to be able to protect the rest of the naval guerrillas.

He even needed naval guerrillas to protect him...

"Senior officers" of the naval guerrillas.

Zephyr has already scouted three men, all of whom are marines he personally trained.

Xiu Zuo, Ain, Binz.

The former is a martial arts expert and is currently Zefa's right-hand man in the recruit training camp.

The latter two are Devil Fruit users; the former possesses the Rewind Fruit, and the latter has the Lush Fruit.

It is worth mentioning that.

Ian and Binz were both survivors of the attack three years ago, and the only two survivors of that year's recruit training camp.

For now.

Shuzo, Ain, and Binz are all relatively... mediocre in terms of strength.

Having taught students for decades, Zephyr could clearly see the potential and upper limit of the three of them.

(bjff)

If we use the bounty amount of pirates as an analogy...

The upper limit for these three is estimated to be around 500 million Berries.

This is only the ideal situation.

The three people at this stage.

Shuzo, who is skilled in physical techniques, is quite good.

Ion and Binz probably don't even have the ability to deal with a supernova...

Zephyr's expectation for the "Pirate Guerrilla Team" is that he can lead this team into the New World and wipe out the trash and scum there.

But the entire "guerrilla force"

Apart from Zephyr himself.

The other three "senior officers" struggled even to deal with pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million Berries.

Pirates living in the New World with bounties exceeding 100 million are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

How is this played?

We can't put all the fighting pressure on Zephyr alone, can we?

Not to mention that Zephyr himself has quite a few flaws!

But now.

Ian's appearance gave Zephyr another direction to consider.

First of all, Ian is a purebred naval soldier, with impeccable revolutionary credentials.

Secondly, Ian came from the Sharp Blade unit and was very familiar with the "guerrilla" tactics;

Finally, Ian's own strength is strong enough to easily defeat two Shichibukai!

If such a navy could be brought into the naval guerrilla force, Zephyr's own pressure would be greatly reduced.

"Naval guerrillas?"

Ian pondered for a moment before asking the question.

"If I choose to join, do I have to leave the Sharp Blade unit?"

Why do you want to withdraw?

Zefa shook his head, denying it outright.

"My guerrilla unit is a separate organization, so you can also serve as a member of the Sharp Blade unit at the same time."

"Furthermore, I also know the significance and objectives of the Sharp Blade Force... The Sharp Blade Force and the guerrillas are actually the same in nature."

They all obey orders but not direct commands!

Ian nodded; he understood.

Before Ian could give a final answer.

Zefa continued speaking to himself.

"I'm still leading this year's recruit training camp. In any case, you have to finish what you start."

"Even if the guerrilla force is established, it will probably be a year from now."

“Ian, I can give you a year to think about whether you want to join the guerrillas.”

Zephyr gazed at Ian and spoke earnestly.

"I hope you can seriously consider this issue."

"No need to think about it seriously, I can actually give you an answer right now, Professor Zephyr."

Ian shook his head and said directly.

“I can join this ‘guerrilla’ team, but as you know, my current status is rather special, and it’s not appropriate for me to appear with the navy.”

"Of course! Of course!"

Zefa nodded repeatedly.

"You are now one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea... Since that's the case, it's settled!"

"After this year's recruit training camp is over, I will start preparing for the guerrilla operation, and then I will contact you again."

"it is good."

Ian responded solemnly.

He chose to accept Zefa's invitation.

It wasn't just because he deeply respected his teacher, Zephyr.

Furthermore, Zephyr's "naval guerrilla force" will eventually evolve into another organization—

"NEO Navy", or "New Navy".

Just like Crocodile said before.

The navy is the true king of this sea.

However, it is an organization under the World Government.

The Navy isn't always able to uphold its "justice"!

Even Ian couldn't see into the very distant future.

But one thing he was certain of was that his "harmonious" relationship with the World Government would not last forever.

And if Ian clashes with the World Government...

The navy will undoubtedly become a huge obstacle between him and the world government!

By the time.

Zephyr's "Naval Guerrilla Force," or rather, the "NEO Navy," could then come in handy...

Now join the naval guerrillas.

He will be the second-in-command of the new navy in the future!

This can be seen as Ian taking precautions!

Zefa hadn't expected that Ian would actually agree to his casual invitation.

The naval guerrilla force had not yet been established.

Zefa invited a junior who was outstanding in terms of ideas, ability, and reputation.

As for Ian's "radical justice"...

Zephyr, who "doesn't kill," might still find it displeasing.

Zephyr just wants him to "go all out"!

With his right hand restored and Ian recruited, two happy events occurred one after the other, making Zephyr's steps much lighter.

Zephyr quickly walked to Edward Weevil, who was still asleep, raised his newly created right hand, and wrapped it with Armament Haki.

Deliberate punch!

boom!

A dull thud was heard.

Zephyr's heavy punch landed directly on the head of the sleeping Edward Weevil.

The latter was jolted awake by the sudden, heavy blow, and jumped up in a daze. A huge bulge was growing on his head at a visible speed.

"It hurts!"

Edward Weebull clutched his throbbing head, tears welling in his eyes, and cried out for Buckingham Stussy.

"Mommy mommy!"

Zephyr stood before Edward Weevil, looking at the large man who was crying uncontrollably like a child, and a strange, subtle emotion welled up within him.

"Don't cry!"

Zefa clenched his fist, stepped forward, and said in a firm and powerful voice.

"Pirate!"

Edward Weebull had no idea who the purple-haired giant was, even though he was the one who had chopped off the man's arm.

The constant, excruciating pain from above filled Edward Weevil with fear; he just wanted to get away from this terrifying-looking, purple-haired giant as quickly as possible.

"Mommy mommy!"

Edward Weebull ran and shouted.

He could barely speak clearly, only calling out "Mom's" name.

Zefa's brows furrowed tightly, and a subtle emotion welled up inside him.

【shave】!

Zephyr vanished from his spot in an instant, appearing directly in front of Edward Weevil as if by teleportation.

He swung his right hand, and delivered another blow—

Deliberate punch!

boom!

Zephyr's fist struck Edward Weevil hard in the abdomen, sending him flying high into the air before crashing back down onto the ground of Long Ring Island, creating a deep crater.

First, he was forcibly woken up, and then he was hit in the stomach.

Edward Weebull also had a headache and a stomachache.

Unable to call for his mother, he simply gave up resisting, covered his head with his hands, curled up deep in the pit, and adopted a posture of accepting whatever beatings or scoldings he might receive.

However, Edward Weebull was still shouting at this moment.
