The huge fortress of the naval headquarters was filled with a cacophony of voices from the rooms on the top floor.

"Karp! You guy, you left your post without permission. Sengoku roared at Karp, his emotions were uncontrollable, and his words were accompanied by spittle, and it was difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a naval marshal would behave like this.

Karp waved his hand and said casually, "Well, don't worry about it, aren't all things almost settled."

Seeing Karp behaving like this, Sengoku became even more angry, and with nowhere to vent, he had to take a deep breath, adopt a strategy of not being out of sight, and looked down at the copywriting on the table.

Fang Xing stood aside and watched this scene blankly, thinking that Karp would take him to training, but he didn't expect to bring him to this place, I don't know what the intention is.

"Warring States, I came this time to ask you for leave."

Click!

Sengoku pinched off the pen that was reviewing the documents.

"You guy, if you don't want to work, you just don't want to act without permission, and you still want to ask for leave!"

"Doesn't this see that the sea is basically stable? … The old man also wants to go home and take the children, and the purpose of this time is to ask you to approve me to take Fang Xing back to the East China Sea. Karp laughed.

Sengoku was silent, "Do you want to leave this place too?" … It's because of that system. ”

Bang! Just then, there was a noise from the main entrance.

Once again, the door has been treated with destruction.

However, Sengoku surprisingly didn't scold, because it was Zefa who broke the door, and he has always been steady, why did he come here, Sengoku knew it.

Zefa, who broke through the door with a punch, walked in, and the blue cheeks and the green tendons that came out of the ravines on it fully showed the anger in his heart at this moment.

"Sengoku! You explain to me clearly, what the hell is the Seven Martial Seas system!? Zefa strode over to the table and asked sharply.

Sengoku stood up from his chair, looked solemnly at Zefa and responded, "You calm down first." ”

"How do you tell me to calm down? It turns out that you asked me to train in advance, and the reason for leaving is this! I owe you so much for believing in you. This feeling of being betrayed by his comrades-in-arms deeply pierced Zefa's heart.

Warring States said helplessly: "This is also a way out of the way, I know that you must not accept this system, if it is you, it will definitely make a big fuss, with your current influence in the navy, I don't have to make this decision." This system must be implemented, and although it is true that cooperation with pirates is a fact, the strength of the navy is now difficult to maintain the stability of the sea, and external forces must be needed to check and balance. ”

Zefa ignored Sengoku's explanation and scolded: "The checks and balances of bullshit, for that kind of thing, you have to abandon justice and cooperate with pirates, and rationalize the plundering occupation?" Are you kidding! I would never agree with it! ”

"But for this bullshit in your mouth, how many naval soldiers have paid with their lives, they also have families and children, they are also individuals, aren't they afraid of death?!"

Warring States, who has dedicated most of his life to the word justice, naturally does not want to implement the Seven Martial Seas system, but this is a helpless thing, while guarding the justice of the sea, he also has to protect the justice of his subordinates.

Zefa was surprised to pause, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"But as a navy, didn't you decide to pay your life for justice from the beginning?"

"....Although I understand your feelings, I still insist on the implementation of this Seven Martial Seas system, and use pirates to counterbalance pirates.

Zefa's expression froze

"The Seven Martial Seas System... Pirates to counterbalance pirates? ”

As if he were an unknown word, he repeated it.

Zefa propped his hands on the table, and the anger in his heart was expressed on the trembling table, which seemed to collapse the table at any moment, and from the table came a low moan.

He roared at Sengoku, "I'd rather die than accept the help of pirates!" When....when did our navy become an existence that needed pirates' help to protect justice?! You are defiling justice! ”

Sengoku looked at the angry Zefa and said seriously: "At this point, I will never back down!" Every navy soldier is a respectable subordinate, they have paid with their lives to maintain the stability of the sea, and their families are also at home longing for their return, you who have lost your family must know how it feels best!"

Hit the pain point, Zefa's expression was hideous and painful.

It was because of the loss of his family that he understood the pain.

Although he hated pirates, he could not let others suffer the same pain as him because of his whimsical willfulness.

At this moment, he hesitated.

As if making a compromise, Zefa said weakly: "....I will not admit it, at least I will not admit this ridiculous system of the Seven Martial Seas, as long as they appear on the occasion, I will not participate." ”

Then he silently left the room.

After this incident, the mood of the Warring States was a little melancholy.

Karp pretended to be nothing, and said with a haha: "Warring States, you guy, was scolded by the old man Ze, hahahaha.." It seems that he wants to alleviate the melancholy in Sengoku's heart in this way.

Fang Xing also stood aside with a surprised expression, it was hard to imagine that Zefa, who had always been steady, looked so out of shape. Even during the period of time between entering and leaving, I didn't notice him standing aside.

It's no wonder that being deceived by close comrades-in-arms and using pirates to maintain the stability of the sea has had a great impact on it.

Not participating in the appearance of the Seven Martial Seas is even more of its cry and determination for this system, perhaps this is the reason why Zefa did not participate in the top war.

When his family was killed by pirates, he still adheres to the principle of "not killing", but he hates pirates no less than any other, and can only be said to be suppressed by his concept of justice. And at this moment, even the justice in his mind has mutated, and he can't be blamed for behaving like this.

In this state, if he encounters an accident two years later, and the students are slaughtered by pirates, he will doubt his belief in "not killing". Plus after the top war, the enemy Edward. When Weibull becomes the Seven Martial Seas, all his beliefs will be shattered, and there will be a defection to the navy.

Perhaps, as Doflamingo said, the greatest hegemon of the seas is not any one pirate, but the navy and the world government.

"I've approved your leave, Karp." Sengoku sat down, looked at the papers piled up in front of the table, and said slowly.

"Haha... The old man has changed his mind, and it would be nice to go back later. ”

"Do you want to stay and comfort me? Karp..., I'm not going to spare any of my labor. ”

"It's not, I just think it's too troublesome to take care of children."

Karp digged his nostrils and said with a blank face.
