After a half-year absence, I returned to Marinfando, and it was exactly the same as half a year ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huge fortress-like towers rise high, as if to suggest that the will here is looking down on the whole world. There are a lot of warships parked in the harbor, large and small, of various types, demonstrating the powerful force of the navy. The tall city walls, and the cannon behind the battlements, have turned this place into a giant hedgehog, and anyone who dares to go wild here will turn the ruthless artillery into ashes.

Karp's return means that the hunt for Roger has failed again, and the navy has become accustomed to it. If Roger is really so easy to capture, there is no need to vacate a general-level master all year round to keep chasing.

went to the marshal's office to report, and Karp left very freely, but before leaving, he left Chiba in the marshal's office, thinking that it was because of that incident.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the door to the marshal's office was pushed open from the outside, and a man one size older than Karp walked in steadily, with unparalleled might.

He had short purple hair and a face full of vicissitudes, but the terrifying muscles showed his unparalleled bravery.

Zefa, the former admiral, the future leader of the NEO Navy, known as the "Don't Kill" admiral, has strong combat effectiveness, and is especially good at using domineering, and has a great reputation in the entire One Piece world.

Karp wants him to teach Chiba and bring out all of Chiba's potential hand in hand, after all, Karp is really not good at training newcomers.

Chiba has no objection to this, he is eager to get power, it doesn't matter who the teacher is, as long as it can make him continue to be stronger.

Zefa looked down at him as he passed by.

Chiba could even feel a sharp gaze fall on him, like a steel knife, quickly swimming around his body.

"Marshal, I'm coming. ”

Zefa stood still at the empty half-empty table and marched a naval force.

"Zefa...... You have also seen Chiba, you know that he was originally Karp's disciple, but now, Karp has other tasks, so you need to be responsible for Chiba's cultivation. It just so happens that you're also the chief instructor of the Navy, haven't you already selected the first batch of students? ”

Putting down the documents in hand, he said in a deep voice.

deliberately didn't make Karp's mission clear, because he didn't want to provoke Zefa.

But in fact, Zefa was much stronger than he thought.

He looked at the empty seriously, "Is it chasing Roger? This job has always been done by him before, until I went out for a while in place of him, and I realized that this Roger is really not ordinary." Whether it is personality, habits or temperament, they are so dazzling that people can't ignore them. Such an enemy is the most dangerous one, because you can't give him any chance, or he will soar into the sky and completely change the world. So, if you need someone to help, please let me know that this time, I will not spare anyone, especially, a dangerous figure like Roger. ”

Sora was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh, "I know, but you better rest for a while." Not just for the Navy, but for you. Okay, Karp's disciple is there, if nothing else, take him with you. ”

The eviction order was vacant, because he could no longer face Zefa, especially Zefa's indifferent eyes.

"Yes. ”

Zefa nodded, then turned around and walked towards the door. Walking past Chiba again, he didn't even look at Chiba.

Chiba saluted and turned to follow.

……

The two walked through the streets of Marin Vando, silent all the way.

It wasn't until he was approaching Zefa's training ground that Zefa suddenly asked, "Karp left some time ago, is it because of you?"

When he asked this question, his fists clenched subconsciously, and green tendons appeared on his thick arms.

When Chiba heard this question, he couldn't help but glance at the other party, although he could only see the back, he still understood the other party's state of mind at this moment.

All along, Karp's job to hunt down Roger was Karp's, and Karp would never give it to anyone. It wasn't until nearly a year ago, when Karp had to leave for a while because of an incident, that Zefa was ordered to take Karp's place. However, while he was chasing Roger, Zefa's wife and son were killed by pirates.

Theoretically, if it weren't for this incident, he might have used his short time to spend time with his family, and they wouldn't have been killed by pirates, and from this point of view, it might have been the pirates who killed his wife and children. But the indirect cause is definitely inextricably linked to Chiba.

Chiba knows very well that even if he doesn't have himself, Zefa's family in the original book is still killed, but he has the golden finger of predicting the future, and others don't, even ordinary people will subconsciously link these two things together, not to mention the victim Zefa.

So this question is difficult to answer, and if the answer is not, it is a lie. Even if you can deceive for a while, you can't deceive for a lifetime, and you will still be known by the other party after all. The consequences of deliberately concealing the deception can only make Zefa run wild, and the person who can stop him when the time comes, Chiba can't imagine.

But if you honestly admit it, looking at the dangerous aura that Zefa is exuding from all over his body now, the consequences will ......

So after thinking carefully for a few seconds, Chiba nodded, "Yes." ”

That's right, honestly admit that it is very likely to directly detonate the other party, with Chiba's current strength, in the face of the rampaging Zefa, there is no doubt that he will be beaten to death by the other party. However, he believes in Zefa's character, the former admiral who is called "not killing", his heart is too soft, and he firmly believes that his duty is to protect, not kill the enemy. Even pirates can be let go by him, and Chiba, who is already in the navy, will be let go.

People like Zefa are also very disciplined, at least at this stage, Zefa is like this. Since Chiba was not the murderer of his wife and children, what reason did he have to kill Chiba?

So Chiba is actually gambling at this time, he bets that Zefa is not the kind of person who will anger others at will, he bets that Zefa is a principled person.

Thankfully, he got the bet right.

Zefa's fists tightened and loosened and tightened, his breathing kept accelerating, and the momentum of his whole body was soaring rapidly, and even his footsteps stopped involuntarily, no matter how he looked, he was about to go berserk.

But just a moment before the rampage, all this was calm again.

Zefa turned his back to Chiba, who couldn't see his expression clearly, and could only hear his calm voice, "Oh." ”

What a complex meaning is contained in just one word. In the end, Zefa's character still defeated the hatred in his heart, and he did not take his anger on Chiba, but put it all down and buried it deep in his heart again.

……

Following Zefa to the training ground, he saw more than a dozen young people training in the distance.

Each of these people was older than Chiba and stronger, especially two of them, whose identities Chiba recognized almost at a glance.

A man in a red suit, a red shirt, and a terrifying and scorching man with a super serious expression - "Akainu" Sakasky, the future admiral, is also the most hated person by most pirates.

The other was dressed in a yellow suit, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face, a lazy smile on his face, and a pouting mouth, as if whistling, and an indescribably lazy look -- "Yellow Ape" Polusalino, also a future admiral.

The reason why Zefa in the middle and late stages was able to become famous in the pirate world as a teacher was only because the three future admirals were all from his teachings. Although the three major generals have their own fruits, even if no one teaches them, the future will certainly not be too mediocre, but I have to say that a large part of their powerful combat effectiveness comes from Zefa's guidance, and this man can be said to have single-handedly supported the future navy high-level.

And not only the three major admirals of the navy, but also the famous lieutenant generals of the future navy, almost all of them came from him, and the navy can stand on a great route in the era of discovery, and Zefa has made great contributions.

It's such a man, but he can't avenge his relatives, and in the near future, he will suffer the pain of being slaughtered by his cadets and having his arm cut off, and he will form the NEO Navy, hoping to destroy all pirates by destroying the world, to a certain extent, it is actually completely understandable.

It's not him who is wrong, it's the world.

Chiba looked at Zefa's tall back and sighed silently. But soon he collected his mentality, followed Zefa into the training ground, and walked towards the future admirals.
