Three months later.

Inside the personal office of Shimasawa Law.

Zefa, who was sitting in his chair with coffee in one hand and newspaper in the other, enjoying a rare leisure time, suddenly frowned.

"Smack!"

The door of the office was pushed open, and then a navy wearing a navy "justice" cloak and a strange dog-headed mask on his head broke into the office of Zefa, who was now the highest-ranking military officer on the Justice Island.

Zefa didn't seem surprised by the other party's arrival at all, still slowly sipping his coffee and slowly checking the contents of the newspaper.

Taking off the dog's head mask, the one who revealed his true face was the legendary Lieutenant Admiral Monchi Munchi, who was hailed as a naval hero. D. Karp!

Karp, who knew the temperament of his old friend at the same time, was not polite at all to get himself a cup of coffee, and then he didn't know where to take out a large bag of senbei, and then began to pour bags of senbei into his mouth with coffee.

Zefa, who was sitting in his chair, completely ignored this, and his attention was still on the newspaper in front of him, as if the content on it was really very attractive.

Finally, after the "click" sound of Karp chewing the senbei stopped, he slowly put down the newspaper in his hand.

Karp, who completely disregarded the image, poured all the remaining coffee in the cup into his mouth, then casually pulled a clean tissue from the table, wiped it on his face casually, and then half lay on the sofa very indecently, and said to Zefa in a big grinning tone: "Zefa, that precious disciple of your family, is now in the limelight!" His 'great achievements' are flowing out of the whole great voyage, and his fame has reached the three proudest generals and students before you. Tsk, tsk, awesome! ”

Zefa also drank the coffee in his hand, and then put the cup away, and then said slowly: "These things may indeed be a fatal trouble for others, but for the little guy Tesla, I believe that these things are just small things that are not even troublesome to him." Now, with his current strength, even if he can't beat Newgate, it is impossible for the other party to keep him, so I'm not worried about him at all! It's you, Karp, I'm curious, what do you mean if Sengoku doesn't show up, just come by yourself? ”

Karp shook his head, the big grin on his face converged, and then said to Zefa seriously: "Zefa, Tesla is very strong, I believe this." But now, he is sitting on top of a volcano that will erupt at any moment. As long as that rumor is still going viral, then he simply has no room to hide or even dodge! You should know that according to the rumors, Tesla's attraction to certain beings will only be greater than imagined! Newgate may not be able to make a move, but what about his strong captains? And Charlotte Lingling and Kaido? Not to mention, there are some people who are also full of interest in the ability shown by Tesla in the rumors! ”

Zefa knew what the rumors were from Karp's mouth.

Almost the day after that incident, a storm suddenly swept through the entire Great Voyage, whether it was the first half of the paradise or the second half of the new world.

First, Tesla's methods against those pirates in the North Sea were exposed, describing them as more murderous and terrifying than the pirates, and then revealing Tesla's so-called secrets.

That is, Tesla's ability to use ice and electricity, and at the same time, he is not afraid of sea water and the like.

If the previous news about Tesla's origin is still true, then the latter news is equivalent to nonsense to most people.

A person must not eat two Devil Fruits at the same time and those with the ability of Devil Fruits will become landlubbers from the moment they take the fruits, and at the same time they will be cursed by the sea, and once they touch the sea water and the sea building stone, they will lose all their abilities, this kind of thing may still be a secret that only a few people know in the four seas, but in the Great Voyage, whether it is the first half or the second half, it is almost common knowledge that everyone knows.

As a result, most people laugh at the second half of the rumors about Tesla's capabilities.

But there are very few people who are very concerned about this.

In fact, whether it is Zefa or Tesla, they know very well who caused this wave of rumors, and there is no doubt that it must be the betrayer of the Draco in Dressrosa, who has now become the good work of Don Quixote Doflamingo of the Seven Martial Seas.

However, to make this matter worse, even to the point where Karp has to come to Zefa to discuss it in person, to say that there is no other higher-level existence in it, it would be too much to underestimate the IQ of these high-ranking naval officials in the pirate world.

They can even guess who is really behind it.

But so what.

Speculation can only be speculation.

The reason why Karp came to Zefa was also at the request of the Buddha no Sengoku, who was the marshal of the Navy at the time, and specially came to discuss with his old friend how to deal with this matter.

Unexpectedly, even after hearing these very serious words, Zefa's expression was still not the slightest nervous and moved, as if what they were discussing was not his most proud disciple at the moment: "Since everyone knows that it is a rumor, there is no need to care too much." It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but Karp, don't rumors stop at the strong? ”

A simple sentence, but Karp was stunned.

Because, this is the first time he has heard such explicit murderous language from the mouth of an old friend!

The so-called rumors stop at the strong, doesn't it mean that all the rumors are killed, and the rumors will disappear naturally?

If these words came from the mouth of Zefa's student Akainu Sakaski, Karp would not be surprised at all, but when these words came from the mouth of Zefa, a black-wristed Zefa with the name of "not killing", it instantly made Karp think that the old friend in front of him was replaced or simply a fake!

Fortunately, Karp still kept enough sanity and did not directly question Zefa, but frowned and thought for a long time before saying to the latter in a heavy tone: "Zefa, we are comrades-in-arms in the same issue, and we are close friends who can hand over our backs to each other." So, I need to explain, Sengoku, too. ”

"Explain? Scold? What to explain? What is the best way to explain it? Zefa pushed his glasses, then pulled open the drawer and tossed a sealed letter to Karp.

Karp, who looked solemn, suddenly changed color after seeing the big words written on the envelope!

After a while, he said to Zefa word by word in a very, very serious voice: "Zefa, are you serious!" ”

On the contrary, Zefa, who was sitting on the chair, took a sip after giving himself a cup of coffee, and then said without hurry: "Do you think I will use this kind of thing to joke?" ”

The corners of Karp's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that he was just entrusted by the Warring States to come to Zefa to talk to him, chat and blow water by the way, but inexplicably picked up such a heavy hot potato!

At this moment, Karp would rather fight the Golden Lion or Whitebeard than take the envelope in his hand.

But there was no way, he was already next.

This letter, in his opinion, will not weigh half a point weaker than the combat power of any whitebeard-level person!

Taking a deep breath, Karp shook his head and said to Zefa, "I can't be the master of this matter. And it's useless for you to tell me, I'll notify Sengoku now and let him come over in person! ”

Zefa nodded, as if he agreed with Karp's statement, and then instead of saying a word, he picked up the newspaper and coffee here, and slowly enjoyed a leisurely good time.

……

Almost as soon as he hung up the phone, Sengoku, who grabbed the navy "justice" cloak on the back of his chair, walked directly out of the office door, and then rushed straight to the dock.

In fact, he had no idea that he would hear such incredible news from Karp's mouth.

And this news was so important that there was nothing on his hand that could compare with it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to rush to Justice Island immediately.

At the same time, in the office of Justice Island Zefa, Karp stared at Zefa with an indifferent expression with a solemn expression, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly spit out three words:

"Why?"

Zefa knew what the question Karp was asking with these three headless words, but he didn't want to answer, or rather, he didn't want to wait a while to answer again: "There is no reason, when the Warring States come, I will naturally give you an explanation." ”

Hearing Zefa's answer, Karp knew that it would be in vain to ask any more, so he thought about it and casually found a topic: "Having said that, I'm also curious, whether the rumors about Tesla are true?" After all......"

"It's partly true, Tesla does have the ability to control the elements of ice and thunder, but he doesn't eat Devil Fruits." Zefa directly interrupted Karp's words, but the content of the words made Karp jump instantly!

"Nani !!" Karp said that his three views are being severely damaged at the moment.

At the beginning, he was also like most people think, thinking that although Tesla is powerful, it will never have the ability as rumored. After all, that's all nonsense that breaks all common sense.

Now, however, he had heard the most incredible answer from the mouth of one of the least likely lies, which made Karp say that his big heart was almost overwhelmed.

There was another eerie silence, and after a moment, Karp slowly confirmed in a voice that had unconsciously become unusually hoarse, "Zefa, this is not a joke? ”

"I'm not kidding, it's true!" Zefa answered Karp's question earnestly.

Just when Karp looked confused, the poor door of Zefa's office was pushed open again and again!

Warring States, who has always paid attention to image, pushed the door in with a serious face, then looked at Zefa, and the first thing he said was:

"Give me a reason!"
