Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Zephyr's "heart of justice" is among the purest in the Navy.

If his sense of justice wasn't pure, then he wouldn't have been able to forcefully leave the Navy after being betrayed by the combined forces of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

A septuagenarian, and a seriously ill one at that, independently formed a naval guerrilla force.

He wreaked havoc on pirates in the New World, even plotting to detonate explosive rocks to annihilate all pirates in the New World and indeed the entire world...

How could such a person not be pure?

Zephyr hates pirates.

However, he was not blind to the darkness and ugliness of the World Government and the World Nobles!

Since even a "pirate emperor" like Storm is willing to take the initiative to attack the World Government, attack the World Nobles, and cleanse the sea of ​​sins.

So why is Zephyr unwilling?

Isn't the mission of the new navy to uphold justice and punish evil?

Are pirates the only ones who are evil?

Are the Celestial Dragons not evil?

Zefa took a few breaths, pressing his hand against his chest, which felt a little stuffy.

He was so emotional that he experienced some physical discomfort.

"Teacher Zephyr—"

Storm looked at Zefa and couldn't help but frown.

"Afterwards, let's have Dr. Vegapunk give you a comprehensive physical examination!"

"Your illness needs treatment!"

Those who are strong in the ocean all have unusual physical constitutions.

However, there are also a few "sickly" ones.

For example, the white beard.

For example, Zephyr.

Storm knew that Zefa's body could last for at least a few more years.

However, if it could help the old marine live a few more years, he wouldn't mind lending a helping hand.

"Cough cough—"

Zefa coughed lightly twice, barely relieving his discomfort, and then changed the subject.

"Stromb, you just said the Pirate King's son is in your pirate crew?"

Upon hearing this, Aokiji and Kizaru immediately focused their attention on Storm.

Even Ain and Binz, who had always maintained a low profile, were no exception.

No matter what.

That's the son of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!

"That's right. If you want to meet him, I can help you get in touch with him later."

Storm nodded casually, then suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, there's Zephyr, Admiral Aokiji, and Kizaru."

"You guys don't actually think 'The Pirate King's son must die,' do you?"

Storm was well aware that the experiences of one's ancestors could very easily influence the lives of one's descendants.

In a sense.

The Pirate King is the greatest criminal in the world government's eight hundred years of rule over the seas!

There isn't even one of them!

Even now, many newspapers regard the revolutionary army's leader, "Drag," as "the most vicious criminal in the world."

However, the prestige of the title "Pirate King" is definitely higher than that of some other title like "World's Most Evil Pirate King".

Above "criminals"!

Roger's fame will definitely affect Ace.

There is no doubt about that.

But no matter what...

No one is born destined to die!

If Storm remembers correctly.

The most important basis for the Marine Headquarters' execution of Ace during the Marineford War will be that he inherited the so-called "evil bloodline" of the Pirate King Roger.

Storm dismissed this with disdain.

It is perfectly justifiable for the navy to kill pirates.

But to insist on calling their bloodline sinful...

Why don't the World Government and the Navy Headquarters dare to go to Elbaf and talk to those giants about the issue of "bloodline"?

Faced with Storm's pointed questions,

Zephyr, Kizaru, and Aokiji all shook their heads.

"I don't have such a pointless thought..."

"I don't agree with that statement either."

"Roger did cause great harm to this era, but it has nothing to do with his children. The three naval leaders in front of Storm are all considered to be 'moderate'."

If Akainu, the Marine who upholds "complete justice," were standing in front of him right now, he would probably be raising his molten lava fist and shouting "Eliminate evil completely!"

"That's good."

Storm nodded in satisfaction.

"In that case, I can rest assured."

Storm doesn't mind letting the Storm Pirates meet the new Navy.

But if everyone could keep their tempers from getting so high—

Nature is the best.

"Don't worry about me, but I'm not."

Zefa shook his head and changed the subject.

"Strom, you just said that the 'White Dragon Emperor' and the 'Red Dragon Emperor' will not join the new Navy—"

"I won't ask you what your relationship is with the 'Crimson Dragon Emperor'—"

"But if you don't join the new navy, who can take your place?"

Zephyr invited Storm to join the naval guerrillas because he recognized Storm's abilities and intended to have this somewhat unconventional guy serve as his second-in-command in the new navy.

However, Storm's rise to fame was too rapid, and his skill increase was too exaggerated...

Zephyr is now unsure of Storm's strength.

And just as Storm said.

The White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor must make a "just severing" with the new Navy.

Zephyr's earlier plan to have Storm secretly join the new navy could also be seen as a means of "severing ties"—separating Storm's fame from his personal life.

"First and foremost, of course, is Nami!"

Storm smiled and patted Nami on the shoulder.

Zefa hasn't answered yet.

Nami spoke first: "Captain, stop joking—I don't want to be separated from you and everyone else—I want to be a navigator."

Storm smiled and said, "That's simple—just have the new navy establish a secret operations unit similar to the 'Sharp Blade Force,' and then add you to it, right?"

Zephyr's expression was somewhat strange at Storm's suggestion.

However, he also felt that allowing one of Storm's subordinates with a clean background to join the new navy was a good idea.

Is a good thing.

Nami, with a pained expression, said, "Captain—..."

Storm pretended not to hear Nami's complaint and continued with the previous topic.

"Secondly, I recently recruited a new subordinate. I wonder if you, Professor Zephyr, have heard of his name."

"The 'benevolent knight' smiles, a blind swordsman, a user of the Paramecia-type Gravity-Gravity Fruit."

"In my opinion, Mr. Issho's strength is no less than that of Kizaru."

As a naval admiral, Issho's battle record is indeed rather poor.

This cannot be denied.

However, Issho is indeed a strongman of the "Admiral" level!

There is no doubt about that.

"I think I've heard this name before."

Kizaru stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

"It seems to be a friend of Jiaji."

Chaton Kake, Navy Headquarters Admiral Candidate.

Kizaru is very familiar with Chaton Kake, and he has also heard that the other party has a "friend" whose strength is no less than his own.

Although Kizaru once thought Chaton Kake's statement was a bit of an exaggeration.

After all, Chaton Kake is a candidate for general.

What does it mean to be a candidate for general?

A powerful naval officer who can be promoted to admiral anytime, anywhere, whenever needed!

The strength of the admiral candidate is also at the top of the pyramid on the high seas.

How could a monster with strength comparable to a general candidate just appear out of nowhere?

But judging from Storm's tone now...

That friend of Chaton Kake seems pretty amazing~

Storm glanced at Kizaru and continued.

"Mr. Yixiao is a chivalrous man with a benevolent heart and impeccable character. I recommend him to serve as the 'Admiral' of the new navy."

general?

Zefa's brow twitched.

Is it time to talk about this now?

"This—there's no rush."

Zephyr glanced down at the deck of the naval warship beneath his feet.

The new navy has ambitious goals, but in terms of "assets," it actually only has this one naval warship standing on its feet.

Before Zephyr arrived in the New World, he had already prepared for a protracted war.

The new navy—no, it should be called a naval guerrilla force.

The method for naval guerrillas to expand their influence is quite simple.

Without guns or cannons, the pirates made them for the Navy!

Who said the navy can't rob pirates?

But now.

The naval guerrilla force had only one ship.

At this point, the discussion began about who would become the new admiral of the navy...

Isn't this too early?

"Yes, there's no rush."

Storm nodded and said seriously.

"Even if the World Government wants to establish an Admiral, they must undergo rigorous testing."

"Although I think terms like 'lazy justice' and 'ambiguous justice' are too childish, Admiral Aokiji and Kizaru did indeed rise through the ranks step by step."

"If Professor Zephyr doesn't mind, you can personally assess Mr. Issho's strength later."

Yi Xiao faces off against Zefa.

Storm considered Zephyr's current physical condition...

He felt that Yixiao had a very good chance of winning.

Upon hearing his words, Zephyr's lips twitched involuntarily.

Is that what he meant?

Zephyr remained silent, and Storm turned his gaze to Aokiji and Kizaru standing to the side.

"Finally, besides Mr. Issho, aren't Admiral Aokiji and Kizaru also part of the new Marines?"

Aokiji?

Kizaru?

Zefa was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at his two disciples.

So much has been said about the new navy's various plans—

Zephyr, however, has consistently ignored the opinions of Aokiji and Kizaru.

And it is quite obvious.

Aokiji and Kizaru were also very surprised by Storm's "invitation".

"Ara la—"

Aokiji stretched out his right hand and scratched his afro.

"I can't stop Professor Zephyr from leaving the Navy, but I'm still a member of the Navy."

Aokiji really wanted to come and see Totto Land.

But he hasn't decided whether or not to leave the Navy!

Storm's words were so abrupt!

Upon hearing Aokiji speak, Kizaru quickly followed suit.

"That's what I thought too~"

Kizaru still identifies with his identity as a member of the Navy.

Moreover.

Why did he leave the Japanese Navy and join the new Navy?

Is Tuzefa foul-mouthed?

"Oh, that's a real shame—"

Storm sighed.

"In that case, Kizaru can go and be locked up in jail!"

"As for Admiral Aokiji, how about we have a spar?"

Aokiji has practically delivered himself to our doorstep!

anyway.

Storm also wants to drag Aokiji onto the "thief's" ship!
