From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 211 Kuzan, Zefa and the King of the World!

In Zefa's office.

At this time, a group of people gathered here. Kuzan and Nico Robin sat opposite each other, and both of them had very strange expressions.

Robin was puzzled. This was Bane's territory. Why did Kuzan appear here? I had never heard Bane mention it.

What was strange to Kuzan was that, although this place was outrageous, it was still flying the navy flag. Nico Robin, a wanted criminal by the world government for many years, could enter and leave this place openly. Isn't it unreasonable?
"I didn't expect to see you here, Nico Robin." Kuzan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then spoke first.

Robin also nodded with a very complicated expression and said: "I didn't expect to see you here, Kuzan."

"So." Kuzan hesitated for a moment and said, "You are working for Mr. Zefa now?"

"No," Zefa, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled and waved his hand, "This is also the first time I've met Robin today, so to be precise, she is working for Bane now."

"Ms. Robin, nice to meet you. I'm Kinos. I'm sure Mr. Bane has mentioned me to you. I really need your help here." Dr. Kinos said excitedly.

Robin also responded quickly: "It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Kinos. Bane has mentioned your talent to me more than once. It would be my honor if I could help you in any way."

After some communication, Kuzan finally understood the situation.

It turns out that Nicole Robin had already joined Bane's team a long time ago. Not only that, she now helps Bane manage the huge dark world organization, Baroque Works. She has also made a big contribution to the construction and development of Melview. For example, the transport fleets he saw in the port before were actually assets of Baroque Works.

At present, the huge amount of funds needed for the development of Melview, except for a part provided by Bane personally, the rest is supported by the Baroque Works headed by Robin.

Today, with the demise of the Don Quixote family, the Baroque Works has begun to fully enter the new world, and Melville is just a node in this process.

Kuzan didn't have much time to think. Dr. Kinos obviously had no interest in this powerful former navy admiral, and soon took Nico Robin away to study the alien language.

After that, Zefa and Kuzan were the only ones left in Zefa's office.

It was at this moment that Kuzan seemed to notice that something was wrong with Zefa. He asked in surprise, "Teacher, your arm?"

"Oh? You just noticed it now? You really don't pay enough attention to the teacher." Zefa moved his healthy arms and teased with a smile.

"I'm sorry, everything I saw before was too unexpected and shocked me," Kuzan said with some shame.

"This is Dr. Kinos's technology, which can be called limb regeneration." Zefa smiled, then looked at Kuzan's left leg and said, "Sakaski is very strong, right?"

Kuzan was not embarrassed when he heard this, and nodded gently, "Better than me."

"Although it seems that it won't have any impact on you due to your ability, I still suggest that you take good care of your left leg like I did." Zefa said directly without any suspense.

Kuzan actually wanted to be reserved. It was just as Zefa said, with his mastery of abilities, although he lost a leg, it actually didn't have much impact.

However, looking at Zefa's face with a warm smile, Kuzan also felt that he didn't need to be too pretentious in front of his teacher, so he smiled and nodded and said: "Since it is your suggestion, of course I have no problem, thank you very much."

"Have some tea." Zefa picked up the teacup and said.

Kuzan also took the opportunity to drink tea together.

The master and disciple, who had not seen each other for a long time, started chatting, and the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious and friendly.

About half an hour later, Zefa finally spoke: "You originally wanted to leave the Navy, but I mediated and made you temporarily change your mind. I invited you to Melview this time. I'm afraid you have already noticed some of my intentions, so tell me, what do you think? Originally, what did you want to do after leaving the Navy?"

Kuzan put down the teacup in his hand, his expression became a little sad, and he said: "To be honest, I originally wanted to wander for a while. These years, the burden of the navy on my shoulders really made me feel a little breathless. I have been avoiding some things in the past, and I also want to have some leisure time to think about what I did in the past. Was it right or wrong? Is what the navy upholds what I wishfully believe?" "Things that I have been avoiding?" Zefa murmured this sentence softly, and his expression gradually became a little gloomy.

Both of them had served as admirals in the navy and had reached the highest position in the navy. Naturally, they had also witnessed the terrible darkness behind the navy.

Just as Kuzan said, but for many reasons, he had been avoiding facing the darkness before. Now he has "left" the navy. Looking back on the past, he doesn't know whether he was right or wrong?
Perhaps it was because of these things that he felt confused and at a loss.

After a moment, Zefa said in a deep voice: "The reason why you are at a loss is that what you have not been able to face so far is not the darkness, but yourself. You are unwilling to admit that the navy you have served for many years is so unbearable. You are also unwilling to admit that you have more or less become an accomplice of the darkness. You cannot see yourself clearly, so of course you feel confused."

Without waiting for Kuzan to say anything, Zefa said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Is it right or wrong? Do you still need to think about it? It must be a mistake, a sin, and an insult!"

Zefa's words mercilessly tore off the fig leaf. Kuzan's expression became a little agitated, and he seemed to instinctively want to refute something, such as it was all for the overall situation and order had to be maintained no matter what.

But looking at Zefa's deep gaze, Kuzan moved his lips, but he still couldn't say these self-deceiving words.

The crimes committed by the navy as accomplices of the Celestial Dragons cannot be justified at all!
As an admiral of the navy, the sins he bears are probably no less than those damn pirates.

After a long time, Kuzan's expression gradually calmed down. He sighed and said, "You are right. I just don't want to face the dirty self I once was."

Zefa picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and then said with a somewhat sad face: "When I was promoted to the rank of admiral, I also saw this darkness. Perhaps it was because I didn't want to go along with them that the ridiculous incident of the admiral's family being murdered by pirates happened in the so-called headquarters of justice, Marine Headquarters, Marineford?"

"After that, although I have realized all these, I am still deceiving myself like you before, holding on to thoughts like 'the overall situation is more important'. I thought that although the World Government has such a terrible side, without them, who knows what this sea would become. Someone has to insist, and someone has to find a way to change something. In fact, I am also very clear that whether it is Sengoku or Garp, they have all tried hard to change, but, as of now, they have all failed, and I have also failed." Zefa gradually put away the sadness on his face, and his eyes became more determined.

He looked at Kuzan and said, "The path we have taken cannot ultimately change the plight of the Navy. Decades of persistence seem like a joke. Therefore, I have given up those fantasies. Today, I have made up my mind to use real iron and fire to wash away these darkness and sins and make the Navy a pure Navy!"

"So you and Bane established Melview here?" Kuzan looked at Zefa and asked.

"Right!" Zephyr admitted without hesitation: "In fact, even without Bane, I have already started to plan something, but now I think about it, it was just an incompetent and crazy act. I originally planned to form a new navy and destroy all the pirates in the New World in the most crazy way. As long as the New World is completely destroyed, the navy will be able to get out of the endless quagmire war with the pirates. By then, the navy will have more energy to deal with the darkness of Marijoa."

After a short pause, Zefa laughed at himself and said, "Thinking about it now, I must have been crazy at that time, driven crazy by this damn world. I was so cruel and violent that if I really did something like this, I'm afraid none of you would forgive me, right?"

Kuzan looked at Zefa's self-deprecating expression, but actually couldn't quite understand the meaning of it. Although the teacher said something about completely destroying the new world, he didn't really understand what it meant.

But it was obvious that Kuzan had no intention of pursuing the matter.

After Zefa stopped talking, he asked, "What does the teacher want to do? What does Bane want to do? Perhaps only after getting these two answers can I really make a decision."

"Old man?" Zephyr laughed and said, "What I want to do is to kill these bastard pirates in the New World, and then drag all those sickening parasites in Marijoa to the guillotine and chop off their ugly heads, completely destroy the rule of the World Government, and let all those so-called Celestial Dragons die!"

At this point, Zefa paused, then became much gentler and said, "Then, we can make the navy, which is supposed to be just, become pure."

Kuzan smiled gently when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, I also want to help the teacher's ideal! But I still have to ask one more question, where is Bane?"

"Him?" Zefa mentioned this guy with a helpless expression, "That brat wants to be the king of the world."

"King of the World?" Kuzan was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed: "Hahahahahaha, I told Binz before that maybe I used to think that Bane was a guy with a strong desire for power, but I was too shallow. Now it seems that I reflected too early. His ambition is more grand than I thought."

However, Kuzan did not think there was anything wrong with this. In this world, whether one is willing to admit it or not, there are indeed people standing at the highest point, and it is not an exaggeration to call them "kings".

So, if Bane can bring about better changes and make the world no longer as corrupt and decadent as it is today, then what's wrong with him wanting to become the new king?

"Perhaps it won't be long before you realize that you still don't know him well enough." Zefa looked at Kuzan meaningfully and smiled.

Being the king of the world is not his end!
