Setting the Whole Sea Aboard!
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 Marine Headquarters.
A seventy-year-old man, and a seriously ill one at that, formed his own Marine Guerrilla Unit, wreaking havoc on pirates in the New World, even plotting to detonate Dyna Stone 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, the World Nobles, and cleanse the seas of their sins...
So why was Zephyr unwilling?
Isn't the New Marines's mission to uphold justice and punish evil?
Are pirates the only ones who are evil?
Celestial Dragons not evil?
Zephyr took a few breaths, pressing his hand against his slightly stuffy chest.
He was so emotional that he experienced slight physical discomfort.
"Teacher Zephyr ..."
Storm frowned as he looked at Zephyr.
"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 Whitebeard.
For example, Zephyr.
Storm knew that Zephyr's body could last for at least a few more years.
However, if it could extend the old marine's life by a few more years, he wouldn't mind lending a helping hand.
"Cough cough..."
Zephyr coughed lightly twice, barely relieving his discomfort, and then changed the subject.
"Storm, you just said that 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 Aokiji, Admiral Zephyr, and Kizaru."
"You guys don't have the idea that 'the son of the Pirate King must die,' do you?"
Storm knew very well 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!
Even now, many newspapers regard the Revolutionary Army's leader, "Dragon," as "the most vicious criminal in the world."
However, the title of "Pirate King" is definitely more prestigious than this title of "World's Most Dangerous Criminal"!
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 Summit War will be that he inherited the so-called "evil bloodline" of the Pirate King Roger.
Storm scoffed at this.
It's perfectly justifiable for the navy to kill pirates.
But if you insist on calling their bloodline sinful...
Why don't the World Government and the Marine 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 have no such pointless thoughts..."
I don't agree with that statement either.
"Roger certainly caused great harm to this era, but that has nothing to do with his children..."
The three naval leaders in front of Storm were all considered "moderate."
If Akainu were standing in front of him Akainu...
That navy officer who upholds "Thorough Justice" would probably raise his giant lava fist and shout "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 Marines.
But if everyone could be less hot-tempered...
Nature is the best.
"Don't worry, I'm not."
Zephyr shook his head, then changed the subject.
"Storm, you just said that 'White Dragon Emperor' and 'Red Dragon Emperor' won't join the New Marines..."
"I won't ask you what your relationship is with the 'Red Dragon Emperor'..."
"But if you don't join the New Marines, who can take your place?"
Zephyr invited Storm to join the Marine Guerrilla Unit because he recognized Storm's abilities and intended to have this somewhat unconventional guy serve as his second-in-command in the New Marines.
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 Marines.
Zephyr's earlier plan to have Storm secretly join the New Marines could also be seen as a means of "severing ties"—separating Storm's reputation from his personal life.
"First and foremost, of course, is Nami!"
Storm smiled and patted Nami on the shoulder.
Zephyr 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 the navigator."
Storm smiled and said, "That's simple... Just have the New Marines establish a secret operations unit similar to the 'Sword Unit,' and then add you to it, right?"
Zephyr's expression turned somewhat strange at Storm's suggestion.
However, he also felt that it was a good thing to have one of Storm's clean-cut subordinates join the New Marines.
Nami made a face, "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."
"'Chivalrous' smiled, a blind swordsman, Devil Fruit User the Paramecia - D Denk-Denk Fruit."
"In my opinion, Mr. Issho's strength is no less than that of Kizaru."
As 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 Tokikake."
Chaton Tokikake, Marine Headquarters, Admiral Candidate.
Kizaru was very familiar with Chaton Tokikake, and he had also heard that Chaton had a "friend" whose strength was no less than his own.
Although Kizaru once thought Chaton Tokikake's statement was a bit of an exaggeration.
After all, Chaton Tokikake is Admiral Candidate.
What does "Admiral Candidate" mean?
A naval powerhouse who can be promoted to Admiral anytime, anywhere, whenever needed!
The Admiral Candidate's skill level is also at the top of the pyramid on the high seas.
How could a monster with strength comparable to Admiral Candidate just appear out of nowhere?
But judging from Storm's tone now...
That friend of Chaton Tokikake 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 Marines."
Admiral?
Zephyr's brow twitched.
Is it time to talk about this now?
"This... isn't urgent?"
Zephyr glanced down at the deck of the naval warship beneath his feet.
The New Marines 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 Marines —no, it should be called Marine Guerrilla Unit.
The method for Marine Guerrilla Unit to expand their influence is quite simple.
No guns, no cannons, the pirates made them for the navy!
Who said the navy can't rob pirates?
But now.
The Marine Guerrilla Unit had only one ship.
At this point, the discussion began about who would become the New Marines Admiral of the navy...
Isn't this a bit too early?
"Yes, there's no rush."
Storm nodded and said seriously.
"Even if the World Government wants to establish Admiral, they must undergo rigorous testing."
"Although I think terms like 'Lazy Justice' and 'Ambiguous Justice' are too frivolous, 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 Zephyr.
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.
Was that what he meant just now?
Zephyr remained silent, and Storm then 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?
Zephyr was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at his two disciples.
So much has been said about the various plans for the New Marines...
Zephyr, however, has consistently ignored the opinions of Aokiji and Kizaru.
And it is quite obvious.
Aokiji and Kizaru were also quite surprised by Storm's "invitation".
"Ah la 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 definitely wanted to visit Whole Cake Island.
But he hasn't decided yet whether or not to leave the Navy!
Storm's words... were so abrupt!
Upon hearing Aokiji speak, Kizaru quickly followed suit.
"That's the same thought I have~"
Kizaru still identifies with his identity as a member of the Navy.
Besides.
Why did he leave the "old" navy and join the New Marines?
Does Zephyr have a foul mouth?
"Oh, that's such a shame..."
Storm sighed.
"In that case, Kizaru can go and stay in jail!"
"As for Admiral Aokiji, shall we have a spar?"
Aokiji practically delivered himself to our doorstep!
Anyway.
Storm also wants to drag Aokiji onto the "thief's" ship!
Second update.
Good night.
