Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

Malinvando.

Naval Headquarters Building, Marshal’s Office.

Zefa was sitting on a couch, looking at Warring States sitting on the sofa opposite the coffee table, who was slowly making tea with a tea set. He sighed for a while:

“Alas! The overall quality of this batch of military academy graduates is worrying. It really makes me feel like each batch is worse than the last…”

“There is nothing we can do about it…

The era of great pirates caused too many ambitious young people to flock to the sea under the banner of pirates, making the situation in this sea even more chaotic. And our navy is a profession destined to be the enemy of pirates. Not only is the risk high, the mortality rate is high, and the wages are low…

Recently, I applied to Wulaoxing to improve the benefits of active-duty navy soldiers and those who retired due to disability, but I was directly rejected!

The income of ordinary people as pirates is several times or even ten times higher than that of being in the navy!

Since the risks and mortality rates are high, most people think that instead of having nothing after death, they might as well become a pirate and try their best to make a lot of money…”

Warring States placed a teacup in front of Zefa. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of steaming green tea for him.

“If we can eliminate those famous great pirates, we may be able to effectively stem the tide of the great pirate era!”

Zefa murmured to himself while sipping the tea in the cup.

“Oh~! Maybe!

However, none of those big pirates are simple characters. If they force the other party, they can do anything. Our navy is not completely sure and cannot act rashly…”

Warring States shook his head slightly and sighed, as if he remembered something, he paused slightly:

“Speaking of which, Red-haired Shanks has also been very active recently. Many islands have planted his flag and have been taken under his command. Moreover, he recently had a conflict with Kaido due to territorial issues, but the two sides did not No winner has been decided…

The fourth sea emperor who rules the sea, some people have begun to call him this among pirates! ”

“In other words, in the eyes of the pirates, the strength and power of Red-haired Shanks can already be on par with Kaido of the Beasts, Whitebeard Newgate, and Big Mom Lingling?” Zefa said slightly surprised.

“Huh!? To be honest, apart from the crew of the Red Voss, Red-haired Shanks’ large fleet is simply…simply…” Sengoku said. He stroked his goatee and looked a little strange.

“Huh? Are they all incredibly powerful monsters?

That’s right. To be able to become the fourth sea emperor in the new world that Whitebeard and others have ruled for many years, I think his fleet should also be full of talents…”

“No! According to my investigation, those guys are ridiculously weak…

I feel that even if we randomly pull out a somewhat famous pirate group in the park, they will be better than them! ”

Zefa: “…”

Warring States found that his old comrade was looking at him with an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?” He couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Those guys are basically weaklings…huh?

It should be said that many of those guys are ordinary civilians who went to sea to become pirates because they admired the red-haired Shanks.

If Red-haired Shanks hadn’t lent them the flag, they probably wouldn’t have been able to survive in the chaotic new world…”

“…”

Hearing this, Zefa did not speak. He just drank tea one mouthful at a time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Click!

The office door was opened from the outside, and Sephiroth, who was holding a form in his hand, didn’t care about the rules and etiquette at all, and walked into the office with steps that he didn’t recognize.

“Hey! General Zefa, you are here too!”

With a smile on his face, Sephiroth said hello to the purple-haired old man sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Then, he handed the resignation report to Warring States.

“Hehehe! Commander Kong has already agreed to my resignation.

All I need now is your signature and seal, Marshal Warring States Period, so that I can carry out the relevant work handover and officially withdraw from the Navy…”

“…”×2

Compared to Sengoku’s expressionless face, Zefa was much more excited. He quickly snatched the resignation report from Sephiroth’s hand, and frowned and said:

“Sephiroth, why do you want to resign?”

“I wrote the reasons on the form.”

Hearing this, Zefa lowered his head and looked at the words on the resignation report.

content.

Immediately, with an expression full of black lines on his face, he read out the reasons Sephiroth filled in as the reason for his resignation:

“The world is so big, I want to go out and see it.”

“Four years ago, you reported that you wanted to quit the navy. Now after so many years, you still haven’t changed your mind?” Warring States sighed.

Sephiroth sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said helplessly:

“It’s so frustrating to be in the navy without freedom…”

Although he usually uses his bat clone to work and catch fish, he uses his consciousness to remotely control the clone’s work.

but……

From time to time, the Navy Headquarters would issue orders to him to capture some of the more difficult and dangerous pirates, or to handle the travel escort work for the royal family of certain countries.

These distractions really made him feel very bored!

He is now the boss, why should he still work for others and suffer the consequences…?

Wouldn’t it be nice to drink fine wine every day, hold a beautiful girl in your arms, do whatever you want, and spend every day carefree?

Warring States: “…”

“Alas~! Sephiroth, did you finally choose to leave the navy and no longer insist on your own justice?”

Zefa’s eyes were dim, and there was a hint of regret in his tone.

“justice?”

Sephiroth seemed to have heard some funny joke, and he couldn’t help showing a slightly sarcastic expression on his face.

“The navy is not synonymous with justice…!

Whether it’s you, Sengoku, Garp, or Cyborg Kong, don’t you know this?

Otherwise, you would not let the students you teach in the military academy find their own justice!

Pretending to be asleep and immersing yourself in a false dream is not a commendable act! ”

“…”×2

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became silent.

Sephiroth stared at the silent two people for a while, and then he continued:

“Forget it, since I have to resign and leave, I will tell you a few words from my heart today.

The navy has the word justice written on its cloak.

but……

Is the Navy justice?

No, this is just a cover-up and publicity!

I do not deny that there are indeed many righteous people in the Navy, but the Navy itself is not rooted in justice, and it has also done a lot of shitty things secretly…

In the final analysis, the Navy is nothing more than a violent institution used by the Draco to intimidate the countries that join the World Government!

The Celestial Dragons kill people, and you have to help prevent fires. The Celestial Dragons rob civilian girls, and you have to help catch them…

Just like the O’Hara incident in 1500 AD 13 years ago.

Just because a group of scholars came across a hundred years of blank history when studying history, those historical taboos unknown to the Celestial Dragons, the Five Old Stars ordered the navy to launch a demon-slaying order to destroy the entire Ohara, Not even an innocent civilian was spared…

oh! No, it seems that an eight-year-old girl escaped at that time, named Nicole Robin. She was accused of destroying seven large Demon-Slaying Order battleships in the Navy, and a bounty of 79 million Baileys was placed on her! ”

boom!

Sephiroth slapped the table hard, with a little anger in his tone:

“damn it!

The eight-year-old destroyed seven large battleships of the Demon Slayer Order. Your expectations for this girl are really high!

Is it Charlotte Lingling who sees her as the next natural destroyer?

Wouldn’t your conscience hurt if you charge a child with such a crime?

What is the difference between such a bottomless navy and the dog-legged bodyguards who work for a noble young master? ”

“…”×2

Faced with Sephiroth’s scolding, both of them were speechless. These were naked facts and they had no way to refute them.

O’Hara’s incident has also been spread among the top brass of the Navy. Many navies with righteous hearts have been severely affected by this. The current Navy Admiral candidate Aokiji is one of them…

After O’Hara, Aokiji, who was confused in his heart, began to question the actions of the Navy. He changed his original “passionate justice” into “lazy justice.”

From then on, Aokiji became a navy who clocked in from 9 to 5. During holidays, it was almost impossible to see anyone. During non-working hours, whenever there was an urgent task, it was almost impossible to find anyone else. ….

Realizing that he seemed to have lost his composure, Sephiroth cleared his throat and put on his cynicism again.

In a tone of voice, he continued:

“Therefore! Even if you are powerful and become a naval admiral, you will only be a high-level bodyguard at best!

Maybe he has to do chores like pouring tea and water for the Celestial Dragons, and in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, the navy marshal is probably about the same as the bodyguard captain…

Warring States Period, I think even if the Celestial Dragons were pointed at and scolded unreasonably, you would not dare to go up and give the Celestial Dragons two big slaps, right?

The corruption from the upper echelons of power cannot be restrained by the navy at the lower echelons of power.

Therefore, no matter how much the Navy wants to uphold justice, it can only say one thing and do another…”

Warring States: “…”

As a naval marshal, Sengoku was very aware of the limitations of the navy, and he was also very aware of the virtues of the Celestial Dragons who controlled the world government.

Because of this, he didn’t know how to refute and scold the silver-haired young man in front of him.

The sarcastic smile on Sephiroth’s face became more and more obvious, and he said in an extremely emotional tone:

“The unrealistic illusions I had about the navy in my heart were completely wiped out by the Tianlong people’s wanton actions as early as the Chambord Islands!

In the navy, the higher you stand, the more darkness you see…

On the navy cape, there is the crooked word justice. I don’t know why, no matter if I look horizontally or vertically, I can only see ‘hypocrisy’!

Therefore, I really don’t want to pretend to be blind like you, continue to stay in the Navy, and live a life of silence.

Moreover, even if I really want to practice my justice, I don’t need to stay in the Navy. I am fully capable of doing what I want to do! ”

Listening to the determination in Sephiroth’s words, Warring States knew that at this point, he could no longer retain him…

So, he stretched out his hand to push the glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded slightly and said:

“Now that you have decided to leave, I will no longer try to keep you here!

I agree to your resignation application!

When the time comes, remember to hand over the relevant work…”

“Wait a minute! I have something to say!”

Zefa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted Seng Guo’s words.

Then, he turned to look at the silver-haired young man and said:

“Sephiroth, after all, the Navy has trained you for so many years, you can’t just leave right away!?”

“Uh!? Commander Kong and Marshal Sengoku both agreed that I should leave. What else do you want to say…?”

Sephiroth looked at Zephyr with a speechless expression.

“You were also a student taught by me in the military academy, so you should repay the favor…right?”

“What do you want?”

“Before you quit the navy, you have to go to the military academy and be a swordsmanship instructor for me!”

“ah!?”

Hearing this, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Sephiroth’s face.

Although he knew that this old guy Zefa had the habit of recruiting outstanding graduates of the military academy to return to the military academy to temporarily serve as an instructor in a certain subject.

but……

He never expected that the other party would actually find him…?

Seeing this scene, Zefa suddenly widened his eyes and said with a dissatisfied look:

“Why, do you still want to refuse?

This is the custom of the military academy. Just like your former swordsmanship instructor Ghost Spider, I took him back to the military academy to serve as a swordsmanship instructor for you who are still students…

Kake and Gion, they also went back to the military academy to teach for one semester.

If you don’t believe it, feel free to ask them! ”

From time to time, some very powerful people will emerge among the graduating military academy students.

In order to allow military cadets to receive better teaching content, Zefa often invites graduates to come back as instructors of a certain subject.

By the way, he will also ask the other party to incorporate those useful experiences and skills into the teaching materials to contribute to the military academy’s career in cultivating talents!

As the greatest swordsman in the navy, Sephiroth has even refined a black sword. Naturally, Zefa has been eyeing him for a long time and has always wanted to find an opportunity to let him return to the military academy to be an instructor for a period of improvement. The level of swordsmanship classes in military schools.

However, Zefa never found a suitable opportunity to discuss this matter with Sephiroth.

Now, seeing that Sephiroth is about to quit the navy, it will be too late if he doesn’t speak up.

Therefore, Zefa could only ignore him, put on an arrogant and unreasonable attitude, and forced the other party to return to the military academy to serve as a swordsmanship instructor.

Sephiroth looked at the purple-haired old man in front of him who was angry with him. He couldn’t help but cover his face with his hands, feeling deeply helpless.

He recalled that when he was studying in the military academy, he served as a taijutsu

The instructor Zefa also gave him a lot of guidance on physical training. It would not be appropriate if he refused directly…

So, he could only agree reluctantly:

“Okay! After teaching the first batch of military cadets, I will leave…”

“Yeah! This is right!”

Hearing this, Zefa immediately laughed and patted Sephiroth on the shoulder, his face full of relief.
