It was night, on the roof of a house in Marinfando.

Mawson sat on his knees, holding an open bottle of 'Sherry' in his hand, and sitting opposite him was Zefa with the same bottle.

The moon is bright and the stars are numerous, and the bright light is sprinkled on the two of them, reflecting different scenes.

Zefa's personality is very different from Sengoku and Karp.

He was too upright and too selfless, and even sacrificed his family for the sake of the Navy's position. Although Old Man Karp also believes in the justice of the navy, he undoubtedly has more of his own style, and he will not completely follow the path of the navy.

Sengoku is a man who is willing to do something that violates the bottom line for the sake of the navy.

Zefa can't do this under any circumstances.

If it is said that the Warring States that have not yet let go of themselves before stepping down as marshal, there are actually many similarities with Zefa.

As a former admiral, Zefa's style actually has a lot of similarities with Sakasky.

They were equally rigorous in their style and dedicated to ensuring the majesty of the navy.

What makes him different from 'Akainu' Sakasky is Zefa's benevolence towards his soldiers.

This can be seen from the purpose of his entry into the navy, he has been a pioneer since joining the navy, he is extremely gentle with soldiers, and wants to become a hero in the navy.

Zefa is also known as the general who does not kill.

For the soldiers of the navy, he naturally loves soldiers like children.

But for pirates, his non-killing benevolence is naturally pedantic in Mawson's eyes, and this will not be selectively ignored just because Zefa is his teacher.

"Mo Sen, as a teacher, I want to thank you, if it weren't for Sengoku telling me, I didn't know that you would personally go to the new world for my business."

Obviously, the rhetoric between Sengoku and Zefa is actually the one made up by Mosen.

In fact, Mawson couldn't explain to them why he insisted on attacking a little pirate, so they thought it was Mawson's feelings for the teacher, and he couldn't deny it.

To some extent, it is.

There is no shortage of tragic characters in this world, and even most of the famous guys have a tragic past.

But there was only one, and Mawson felt he didn't deserve it.

That's Zefa.

Aside from being too merciful to the pirates, this is a respectable figure in every sense of the word.

Just like those heroes on TV in the previous life.

You can't do that yourself, but when there are such characters around you, then you must maintain a minimum of respect because you are a human being.

The teacher and student sat opposite each other like this, and when Zefa spoke, he looked at Mawson's gaze with a sense of satisfaction and pride in his son's growth.

Mo Sen scratched his head and said: "Teacher Zefa is too polite to me, speaking of which, I can grow rapidly in the navy because of Teacher Zefa, and this time I happened to encounter this matter." ”

Zefa didn't turn his head, he silently took a sip of wine into his stomach, and looked up at the starry sky.

"Do you know Mawson, the most sorry thing I am in the world is their mother and son." Zefa's voice became a little distant and sad.

"I used to think that there was nothing wrong with what I insisted on, and my wife always encouraged me to go on like this, and she didn't say a word of my nos when they were killed by pirates, and even her last words didn't let me lose my perseverance for revenge."

This is the first time Zefa has confided in his heart, he has never told anyone before, not even Sengoku and Karp.

Mawson did not interrupt Zefa's words, but quietly listened to the old man's narration.

Yes, Zefa is now 65 years old.

Zefa grabbed the wine bottle with his hand and forced, and faintly saw the bruised tendons, which showed that his mood was not as calm as his tone.

"Slowly, I realized that my so-called benevolence and so-called naval reputation could not be exchanged for their lives.

The reason why I stayed in the boot camp to train soldiers for the Navy was because I wanted to train heroes to come out, not just because of my belief, but because my wife told me that she was proud of a heroic husband like me, and even she taught her children to be proud of his heroic father.

How can a husband be a hero if he can't even protect his wife and son. ”

Mawson couldn't help but exclaim: "Teacher, it's not your fault, those pirates ......"

"Mawson, you don't have to excuse the teacher, if you are wrong, you are wrong." Zefa laughed at himself, "I used to be called a general who doesn't kill, but now I sometimes think about it, and sometimes I think that it may be a wrong approach." ”

He turned his head, and there was a glitter of sparkle in the corner of his eye in the bright moonlight.

Zefa looked at Mawson with satisfaction: "Many of these students I have taught have achieved great things, including Sakasky and Polusalino, who have become admirals in the navy.

But you know I don't have a good relationship with them, and it's not because I have any personal conflicts with them.

Sakasky was an impeccable man in his personal practice, he was serious and diligent, but his beliefs were too strict, and he did not hesitate to destroy the good side in order to destroy the existence of evil.

Porusalino's personality is a bit bad, and if that's all it is, it's fine, but when I teach him, he's already quite strong, and his fruit abilities are even better.

Because he was a little slack on his physical skills and relied too much on the ability of the fruit, there were some conflicts and unhappiness between us, and now I still have the original opinion, but I won't bother with him anymore.

Kuzan was a student I always looked forward to, both in terms of personality and academics, not to mention the fact that you later came to the Navy headquarters to join the new barracks. ”

Zefa has more words today than before, and it seems that he has indeed held it in his heart for many years and has not confided in anyone.

Speaking of Mawson, Zefa's face was soft but also a lot more eccentric.

He looked at Mawson and continued: "Actually, I didn't have a very good sense of you when you first joined the boot camp, and your personality has some similarities with Polusalino.

But your attitude towards training, your dedication to getting stronger, slowly changed my sense of you. ”

This point is actually very easy to understand, Mosen naturally understands from the perspective of God that the body is the foundation of all abilities, so he cares more about physical skills than about fruit abilities or even knife skills.

At this point, there is no doubt that he is very consistent with the views of the two old men, Zefa and Karp.

This is a plus.

"Although I thought that your future road would definitely be much smoother, I didn't expect it to be smoother than I imagined, maybe it won't be long before your strength will surpass me.

The most important thing is that you always know what you want, that you are honest and compassionate, and that you have your own bottom line.

And you're never pedantic about pirates, even if you're a little more murderous, it's because those pirates have a way to die.

What you helped me do this time, I want to thank you for their mother and son, you are more like a hero in their hearts than me. ”

After Zefa finished speaking, he solemnly picked up the wine bottle and touched it with Mawson.

"Teacher toast you, thank you, Mawson!"

Zefa coldly praised Mo Sen a lot, which almost made him flutter.

You must know that this stern teacher has always been very good and so straightforward and praised.

Not to mention, it really feels like it...... It's kind of cool.

Mawson hurriedly touched you with Zefa, and also took a large sip of wine.

He then said: "How can I be as good as you say, I will be embarrassed if you praise me like this, teacher." ”

Zefa made a rare joke of Mawson: "Will you be embarrassed? Now who in the entire headquarters doesn't know the reputation of your stinky boy, and your cheeks can catch up with the thickness of the Red Clay Continent. ”

Mawson was dumbfounded.

It turns out that Mr. Zefa complained so ruthlessly!

How embarrassing is that to describe this?

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.

That night, it was the first time in all these years that Mawson had seen Zefa drunk.

Even last time he was there, the three old men were far more drunk than they were now, and they didn't get drunk like this.

But today, Zefa was just a bottle of wine, and the whole person was completely drunk.

Mawson had no choice but to send him back to rest with his own hands.

In Zefa's bedroom, Mawson could already hear his slight snoring as soon as he put Zefa on the bed.

He poured a glass of water and placed it on the head of Zefa's bed, ready to walk out of the bedroom.

As he closed the bedroom door, Mawson heard Zefa's muttering of dreams.

"Shirley, if our children hadn't died, they would be as good as Mawson by now.

Shirley ...... I'm sorry! ”

Mawson sighed and closed the door gently.

Shirley is both the Shirley of 'Shirley' wine and the Shirley of Zefa's wife.
