Chapter 323: Zefa
Zefa can be said to be the soul of the navy.
Since his retirement, he has been serving as an instructor in the elite navy of the Navy headquarters, and it can be said that almost all of the officers of this generation of the Navy are from him.
Even the Pheasant and Akainu among the three current admirals, as well as the recently ousted Admiral Yellow Ape, are all his students.
Even the current general, Zilong, who is not his student, has to respectfully call him 'teacher' when he sees him, because he has also been instructed by Zefa in the past.
Zefa did not kill any pirates before he was 42 years old, and was called the Admiral of the 'No Kill', but when he was 42 years old, his family was killed by pirates, and he began to hate pirates again.
Having mercy on those sinners ends up hurting yourself.
Why didn't anyone look for revenge from Sengoku, Karp, Akainu, Green Pheasant, Yellow Ape and others, and why did those avengers find this 'don't kill' general.
This fully confirms the saying 'people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden', kindness is not wrong, but excessive kindness will only be considered weak.
When Qiu He joined the navy a few years ago, Zefa had already begun to prepare for the establishment of a pirate guerrilla, so Qiu He and this natural mentor had only met a few times and had not spoken much.
Seeing that his ship is now flying the flag of the NEO Navy, and thinking of the news some time ago, I think it is because Edward Weibull was recruited to serve as the Seven Martial Seas, Zefa is disheartened with the Navy and has broken with the Navy.
However, shouldn't he take it as his mission to annihilate the pirates of the world now, how could he be up to Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, does he think that in order to annihilate the pirates of the world, he must first annihilate the Four Emperors?
On top of the Mammoth of the Beast Pirates, a man with a ponytail and two braids, a strong physique, a metal jaw on his mouth, and two ivory-like ornaments on his head and shoulders, stood on the deck.
The man who closed his eyes and ignored the roaring cannon fire was none other than Jack, one of the three plagues of the Beast Pirates.
"Lord Jack, the kingdom of Somarez has arrived, and now it's time to act."
Although Jack looks a bit wooden and not good at talking, he is actually a saboteur with a violent mind and almost only knows how to fight.
Jack has always believed in the truth of 'you can do it and never beep', but it was only because this matter was about Kaido that he listened to the persuasion of his subordinates and endured it until this time.
"It's finally time to do it, you have to kill that old guy quickly, otherwise it won't affect Kaido-sama's mood at that time."
Standing at the front of the mammoth deck, he opened his eyes full of murderous intent and hideous blood, and looked coldly at the warship.
"Teacher Zefa, the other party has already docked."
On the warship of the NEO Navy, after Zefa received the news, he couldn't help coughing twice, and the sea-blue haired girl standing behind him immediately stepped forward and gently patted Zefa on the back.
Zefa is indeed old, he has always had asthma, and after taking out a bottle of spray and spraying it twice in his mouth, his symptoms have lessened a little.
Turning around, Zefa smiled at the sea-blue haired girl and said, "Ain, thank you, I'm much better." ”
The blue-haired girl was none other than Ain, the one who had the ability to regress the fruit, and was also a student of Zefa, one of the only two students left on the ship after Zefa was attacked by Edward Wibull.
Since being attacked, Ain and Binz have followed Zefa and become his right-hand men.
Not long ago, they were just planning to form a pirate guerrilla, but they didn't want to receive the news that their former enemy, Edward Weibull, had become the Seven Martial Seas.
Disheartened by the Navy, Zefa resolutely withdrew from the Navy and established the NEO Navy, and Aine joined the NEO Navy without hesitation.
After seeing that Zefa's situation was better, Ain squatted down in front of Zefa, looked at Zefa with a respectful face, and said, "Teacher, the other party is one of the Four Emperors, the Hundred Beast Pirates, or let's go." ”
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, is known as the 'strongest creature in the world', and if it was Zefa in his heyday, Aine was not too worried.
After all, Zefa in his heyday was a character who could compete with One Piece Roger and the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard.
However, now Zefa is old, not only has a broken hand, but also has asthma and other diseases, and his strength is not as good as before.
It's a pity that although her regressive fruit can transform Zefa into what he was when he was younger, it can't erase the diseases that have accumulated in him for many years, nor can she restore his hand.
"Can't go, Kaido's Jack won't let us leave like this."
Zefa shook his head slightly, got up and walked towards the deck.
Don't look at the artillery fire outside, in fact, this is not useful at all for ships with masters.
In this case, only the broadside battle can really end the quick battle.
The reason why there has been no broadside battle is because of the tacit understanding between the two sides, which is also a recognition of the strength of the other party.
Zefa is afraid that there will be too many casualties in the broadside battle, and Jack is afraid that he will damage the Mammoth and prevent him from meeting Kaido.
If Zefa really planned to leave, Jack would definitely let the boat rush up directly at all costs, and the arrogance in Zefa's heart would not allow him to run away like this.
Zefa can feel that he is indeed old, and his body is not as good as before, not to mention fighting Kaido, even if it is the current 'drought' Jack under Kaido, he does not dare to guarantee that he can win.
Fortunately, before leaving the Navy Headquarters, he had transformed his right arm into a mechanical arm equipped with Hailou Stone, which he believed would have a certain restraining effect when dealing with Jack, who was an animal-based Devil Fruit ability.
The warship docked, and Zefa jumped directly off the deck and landed on the soft sand.
The beach that was overcrowded before, and now there is only one person standing there, and it is Jack, who has just come off the mammoth.
"Old fellow, if you dare to influence me to greet Kaido-sama, I will tear you to shreds, and then kill all those people on your ship."
Jack removed the two ivory-like ornaments from his neck and removed the outer layer, revealing two Shortel knives that resembled the shape of a sickle.
A furious aura emanated from Jack's body and spread in all directions, and a terrifying bloodshot appeared in his eyes.
Before the fight began, Jack himself had already entered a state of madness.
Jack's momentum did not affect Zefa in the slightest, but it was his words that made the smile on Zefa's face fall silent.
"Then let's try it!"
Raising the huge mechanical arm, Zefa's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
