I, a Celestial Dragon!

Hearing Ain's words, Zefa raised his head suddenly. At this moment, his originally gentle and kind eyes had already turned fierce and numb!

He just spoke to his two disciples in a cold voice.

"The problem has never been with my hands, but with the navy behind me, and even more so with the world government behind the navy!

Tolerating evil, allowing Devil Fruit users to disrupt the sea, and even...even allowing the pirates who killed my disciples to be named Seven Warlords of the Sea!!!"

As he spoke, Zefa looked fiercely at the window beside the bed. When he looked through the glass, he saw the clouds in the sky outside the window.

His right hand felt a sharp pain!

"Ain, Binz... I'm sorry!"

Zefa suddenly said.

“I can’t stand living like this anymore!

Five years, five whole years. After that guy attacked me, only two years had passed before he hijacked Dressrosa's Tenjojin and used that damn thing to gain the title of Shichibukai!!!

Don Quixote Doflamingo!!!"

Muttering Doflamingo's name viciously, Zephyr took a deep breath, and then he stood up suddenly.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore, Ain, Binz, I have to apologize to you!

I can no longer stand staying in the Navy!

Relying on the current navy, it is impossible to avenge me!

That guy has been a Shichibukai for a year and a half, and his roots are in the New World, even Marijoa!

The Navy, haha, the Navy cannot have any influence on him!

In short, I'm going to leave the navy and temporarily form a guerrilla force to hunt down those damn pirates with special abilities on the sea!

If I die on this journey, then let me die in shame, because when I am alive I will only feel shame and unable to sleep!

But if I can gradually gather a team, I will form a new navy that will overturn everything now!

The navy should not become a scum colluding with the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They should resolutely kill every pirate, especially those with special abilities!

Only in this way can the Navy firmly establish its true position of justice!!!"

Having said that, Zefa reached out and pushed the dazed disciples aside.

Then, he strode towards the door, took the huge mechanical right hand that had just been connected, and punched his door to smash it.

Looking at the broken door, Zefa felt his own strength.

"Vegapunk's skills are indeed good. Although these two new hands are not even half as strong as I once was, they are enough to deal with most pirates!

Especially since it is made of seastone, this hand might be more suitable for dealing with people with special abilities than my previous one!"

After he finished speaking, Zefa strode towards the dock. Having made up his mind, he didn't want to stay for a moment!

The naval headquarters next to him, which he once regarded as a source of pride, now only made him feel disgusted!

The joys and sorrows of different people are not the same. At this time in the Navy Headquarters, soldiers and officers were all laughing and talking about how Sakaski was chasing the new generation Fourth Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks, to a pulp.

But to Zefa's ears, such words just sounded noisy!

Coincidentally, Zefa saw his two disciples still following him and walked towards the dock with him.

So, Zefa couldn't help it after all and spoke to his disciples again.

"I really don't know what those idiots were thinking. Sakaski worked hard to hunt down Red-Haired Shanks for two whole months, and even blocked him in the Sabaody Archipelago!

Shanks himself is the newly crowned Pirate Emperor, and his relationship with the old Four Emperors is already quite tense!

Among the Four Emperors of the New World, Kaido and Big Mom didn't react at all, only the old Whitebeard went to the door of the New World!

It would be simpler to just assign one general, or simply let that old guy Garp block Whitebeard.

With the navy's lineup in Sabaody and the navy headquarters, killing Shanks is easy! ! !

The result, huh!

Not only did the World Government not support my proposal, but it also asked Sakaski to stop hunting Red Hair and let him return to the New World!

In the past, when I still held on to the foolish justice of not killing, there were always people who advised me not to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

But now, I regret it. As a result, they have let the tiger go back to the mountains, which is something they will definitely regret!

Even so, those officers still had the nerve to talk about this matter with a smile. They actually thought this was some kind of damn honor!

Shouldn't they understand better than me that only dead pirates are good pirates!!!"

Having said this while cursing, Zefa waved his hands fiercely.

"And you two idiots, what are you doing following me? Do you think I am still your pride?

I no longer have the ability or qualifications to allow you to develop in the navy!

A general is not allowed to fail. Among all the generals in the entire ocean, I am the only one who bears the shame of failure!

Besides me, even Mr. Kong, who was the Marshal, immediately resigned from the position of Marshal after being defeated by the Red Earl!!!

Even though it was my first asthma attack and I didn’t know I had asthma, I didn’t bring any medicine with me, which led to my defeat by that damn flamingo!

Even if I have so many reasons, people will not remember those reasons. They only know that I lost!

Failed general, huh, in the past four years, the new recruits don’t even know my name!

Whether it's the World Government or the Navy Headquarters, they just want me to go to a quiet corner, to a place where no one will mention me!

Ain, Binz, even so, you still want to follow me!!!

You must know that I am no longer qualified to educate a new generation of marines, nor am I qualified to let you two fill the vacancies of rear admiral and lieutenant admiral as I originally thought!

I have become a thorn in the eyes of the higher-ups, and a shameful legend that cannot be spoken of!

So, the two of you should go find Sakaski and ask him, my second disciple, to grant you a general position on my behalf!!!"

After he finished speaking, Zefa sneered and waved his hand, then continued walking towards the dock.

He had stolen a naval supply ship a few days ago and parked it in a secluded location at the dock.

But when he moved again, Ain and Binz behind him looked at each other and immediately followed him without hesitation!

Feeling his disciples' movements, Zefa stopped in silence.

Turning around slowly, Zefa closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Of course, Mr. Zephyr!"

Ain's eyes were unusually firm, and she spoke to Zefa with great certainty.

“Five years ago, or to be exact, four years and nine months ago!

When you forced yourself to hold on to your asthma-suffocating body, you used your own right hand to catch the string that Doflamingo was supposed to use to kill both of us, and as a result, the nerves in your right hand were directly cut by Doflamingo.

Binz and I have decided to use our lives to replace your lost right hand and to accompany you forever!

So, Mr. Zefa, please never tell us you are leaving!

It's like you have hatred in your heart!

Binz's and my hearts have long been filled with hatred. How could we possibly do anything to obey the orders of the Navy?

If we receive an order to release the pirates, we will be sent to prison for disobeying orders, so why not follow you right now..."

"Cough cough!!!"

Hearing this, Zefa coughed violently, and then looked at his disciple with surprise.

"Hey, you two, I can feel your hearts, and I'm quite touched!

But what's with your attitude that this old man will definitely go down the path of crime!

From the day I became a Marine, I have been determined to carry out justice to the end!

Even if I leave the navy, I will just go find my own justice!!!"

After he finished speaking, Zefa took a deep breath, and then he nodded.

"Since you want to come, then come together. We will..."

prick! ! !

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling, horizontal bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the cloudless sky of Marinford!

The next moment, extremely violent thunder followed, bombarding the ears of every Marine.

Accompanied by violent thunder, the lightning paused for a short time before striking heavily near the dock!

At the same time, in the Navy Headquarters, whether it was Akainu who rarely stayed in the office, or Kizaru who was also slacking off in the office.

Or maybe it was the Warring States feeding sheep in the marshal's office.

All those who were strong enough quickly spread their Observation Haki!

While the strong ones were on guard, the weak ones turned into people having fun, chatting with each other about the strange bolt from the blue that had just occurred.

Near the Marinford Pier, Zephyr stared in disbelief and looked at Gawain who suddenly appeared!

At this moment, Gawain was only wearing a pair of pants with a lot of tears and blood stains, and his upper body was naked with purple bruises all over. He stood in front of Zefa with excitement and expectation!

What surprised Zefa the most was that Gawain's hand, which was lazily resting on the hilt of the sword, was covered in blood!

His thumb was almost cut off by the extremely sharp knife!

At this moment, Zefa couldn't believe his eyes.

Why did Gao Wensheng appear in front of him in such a miserable state!

I just called Sakaski and asked for a meeting with Gao Wensheng.

As a result, when I turned around, I hadn't even reached the pier.

Gao Wensheng actually came to him with injuries all over his body? ! !

At this moment, Gao Wen, who was covered in wounds, seemed to notice his injured hand, so he pursed his lips, bent down, tore off a piece of cloth from his trouser leg, and hastily bandaged his right hand.

While bandaging the wound, Gao Wen shook his head helplessly.

“Excuse me, when I heard that you were willing to see me, I excitedly put down my ongoing training and rushed towards Marinford.

As for these injuries, haha, when they trained me, they didn't allow me to use the power of the fruit to dodge their attacks.

If I could only resist, wouldn’t I end up like this…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain transformed his bandaged injured hand into the form of lightning, and then changed back.

However, his injuries did not disappear as he transformed into an element...

Looking at Gawain's wounds that couldn't be immuned by elementalization, Zefa swallowed hard.

Somehow, his eyes lit up a little, a look he would only show when he found a qualified student!

Zefa grabbed Gawain's injured wrist.

"Don't try. The knife wound that can't be healed even with elementalization must have been caused by the person who trained you using the technique of armament color entanglement.

Only by allowing the Armament Haki to penetrate the body from the inside out and affect the body of the user of the Nature-type Fruit ability can this kind of long-lasting damage be caused, which cannot be recovered even by elementalization!

Looking at the marks on your knife, your style is very different from that of Rayleigh and Yixiao!

It must be Gion who did it. Her strength has increased a lot in the past six months!"

"indeed!"

Listening to Zefa's explanation, Gao Wen nodded with relief. This teacher had a great eye. He could tell it was Gion's hand just by looking at the wound!

So he raised his uninjured hand and gave Zefa a thumbs up.

"Great job, Mr. Zefa, you can tell who did it at a glance!

Gion's sword has been getting heavier recently. It may be because the training environment on our ship is better. We have the Gravity Fruit and the Meat Ball Fruit as aids. These two fruits are very effective in improving strength."

"Don't!!!"

After hearing Gawain's words, Zefa immediately raised his huge mechanical right hand.

"Please don't call me teacher. I don't have a noble disciple like the Celestial Dragons. Even if you come to see me with injuries all over your body, I haven't decided to accept your invitation yet!"

"Ha ha!"
