After transforming Zephyr into Heroic Spirit Body, Luo Wen took Zephyr back to the headquarters of the Neo Marines.
"Congratulations to Teacher Zephyr on his return to his peak!"
Gion's eyes lit up, and she immediately offered her congratulations.
Seeing Zephyr's appearance, she immediately understood that Zephyr had transformed into Heroic Spirit Body.
She was somewhat surprised that this Heroic Spirit Body could regenerate severed limbs.
However, considering that Luo Wen could even resurrect the dead Olivia, it's not so bad that he could regenerate Zephyr's severed limbs.
"Same to me, same to me! Now I can contribute more to the Neo Marines!"
Zephyr looked at Gion and said with a smile.
Ain and Binz were stunned to see Zephyr like this, and it took them a while to come to their senses.
"Professor Zephyr, your hand!"
"Ain and Binz stammered."
If I remember correctly, that used to be a Crusher.
And now, Professor Zephyr's arm has miraculously recovered!
"Haha, it's all thanks to Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen! Not only is my hand healed, but I'm back to peak condition!"
Zephyr couldn't hide his smug expression.
With this newfound strength, he can now protect his disciples from harm.
"Thank you, Commander!"
Ain and Binz immediately bowed to Luo Wen.
Zephyr was like a teacher and a father to the two of them, and now that he had been cured by Luo Wen, they were naturally extremely grateful.
"No need for formalities, just do your job well in the future."
Luo Wen waved his hand and said magnanimously.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
Ain and Binz spoke at the same time.
Binz decided that he must shine in the Neo Marines and never let Luo Wen.
Ain secretly resolved not only to excel in her duties as captain of the guard, but also to take good care of Luo Wen.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Luo Wen and Gion exchanged a glance and began the formal conversation.
"Zephyr, what are your thoughts on Whitebeard Jr.. joining the Shichibukai?"
Gion asked earnestly.
When this topic was brought up, Zephyr paused for a moment, then said, "This is a disgrace to the Navy, and a decision that chills the hearts of everyone in the Navy. Whitebeard Jr.. not only has a deep-seated hatred for me, but also a deep-seated grudge against the entire Navy."
"If someone like that can be recruited into the Shichibukai, I can only say that the Navy is utterly rotten. If it weren't for this incident, I probably wouldn't be here."
As he spoke, Zephyr's face showed an expression of exasperation at his son's lack of ambition.
He devoted most of his life to the navy, and as the saying goes, "the deeper the love, the higher the expectations," so he was naturally extremely disappointed with the current navy.
"Chief Instructor Zephyr, I'm sure you're not the only one disappointed with the Navy in this matter."
Luo Wen asked with a smile.
"That's right, when I left, some of my disciples also wanted to leave." Zephyr looked at Luo Wen and said, "You mean..."
Judging from Luo Wen's current expression, it seems he wants to poach all of his disciples!
"That's right! Rather than letting so many heroes suffer in the Navy, why not let them come to the Neo Marines and make a name for themselves!"
Luo Wen stated bluntly.
Although he didn't know the level of the people who told Zephyr they wanted to leave, given Zephyr's special status, those people must be quite powerful.
"This..."
Zephyr showed a struggling expression.
When he left, he was determined not to interfere with the disciples' judgment.
He also made a promise: he would pull them away once he had made something of himself.
He changed his tune in just one day; he's really holding back!
However, thinking of the exceptional treatment he received from Luo Wen and what he had seen and heard along the way, Zephyr suddenly became determined.
The navy is rotten, and the Neo Marines is so good; he wants to get Hōshō and his men to abandon their evil ways and come to the light.
This isn't exactly a major change.
He earned Luo Wen's favor and was second only to Luo Wen in the Neo Marines, on par with Gion.
And since Gion was also his student, he was slightly higher in rank than him.
This can be considered a breakthrough, and calling the disciples over doesn't mean breaking my promise.
Moreover, since the Navy has wronged him and his disciples, it's quite normal for them to leave the Navy.
"Okay, I'll contact them, but whether they come or not depends on their own wishes!"
After some thought, Zephyr made a decision.
As I said before, he respects his disciples' personal choices.
"No problem. With you as the persuader and the facts before us, I believe they will agree."
Luo Wen readily agreed.
That's perfectly fine. If they don't agree, forcing them won't work!
Even if they don't agree this time, consider it a good loosening of the soil; it'll be easier to dig into the corner next time.
"However, it seems like something's missing?"
Luo Wen stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
Now everything is in place, and Zephyr has agreed, but he still feels like he's forgotten something.
"Luo Wen, you should give Professor Zephyr a formal title."
Gion spoke up to remind her.
Since Zephyr's role was not yet defined, Luo Wen did not give a specific position.
Now, if Zephyr is to act as a lobbyist, a suitable position is essential.
"Oh, right, right, right!" Luo Wen slapped his forehead and said seriously, "Chief Instructor Zephyr, your current identity is Neo Marines Admiral Chief Instructor, Black Arm Zephyr!"
"Admiral Neo Marines and Chief Instructor of the Neo Marines!?"
Zephyr became excited.
It wasn't that the position was particularly powerful, but rather that it reminded him of his glorious youth.
Moreover, this position once again demonstrates Luo Wen's emphasis on talent, and it can serve as an incentive for them at Hōshō.
"Now everything is ready, we can contact the navy."
Luo Wen said with a smile.
"Yes, I understand."
Zephyr replied in a deep voice.
He couldn't wait to call his disciples over to work together to build the Neo Marines.
The only question is, wouldn't doing this be too detrimental to the Sengoku?
Um...
Hurt your mother my ass!
Lao Tzu wanted to show the Sengoku period the consequences of making mistakes!
With excitement, Zephyr dialed the Transponder Snail.
