Zephyr's Intentions
Just thinking about this made Aokiji's teeth ache.
Suddenly, he missed Akainu.
If this guy were still here... perhaps things wouldn't be like this now. And we wouldn't be so short-handed.
"What????"
Sengoku had just hung up with Zephyr when Sengoku immediately called Aokiji. When Zephyr heard all this...
I was completely dumbfounded.
"The North Blue Branch has been occupied? T Bone has disappeared, Bastille joined Cavendish?"
Zephyr frowned involuntarily.
This news is absolutely explosive!
Because anyone with discerning eyes can see what this event foreshadows. If it's not handled properly, then the entire Four Seas, except for the East Blue, will be affected.
The West Blue, the South Blue, and the North Blue will all descend into chaos.
However, the Four Seas are an important foundation of the World Government. If the West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue were lost, the World Government and its navy would be greatly affected.
At that time, the World Government only had the East Blue and the Red Line, plus the first half of the Grand Line.
Once it becomes like this.
The World Government would then disintegrate under the combined pressure of various forces, and might even be overthrown...
At this moment, three people were standing next to Zephyr.
One is a beautiful woman with long, flowing, wavy, sea-blue hair.
She was wearing a purple tank top and black shorts. She had an X-shaped scar on her right leg and was holding a pistol named Geburu Shot. She wore black pointed high heels and a blue cloak.
She is Adomira Lu- Ain.
She is Devil Fruit User, and a rare one at that, Devil Fruit User.
Paramecia - Return-Return Fruit.
When using the ability, a pink flame similar to a will-o'-the-wisp will appear on the palm. The flame itself has no heat or offensive power; it can only activate the ability.
It claims that anything touched by it will Rewind-Rewind age by 12 years, and the age of anyone touched by it will also Rewind-Rewind by 12 years. Repeated touches may cause it to disappear. This ability also works on things other than living beings, causing them to Rewind-Rewind to their state 12 years ago. The only way to undo the Rewind-Rewind is to defeat the person with the ability.
It's an absolutely formidable Devil Fruit Ability.
The second one was a person dressed as a ninja.
He is Paramecia Devil Fruit User.
It allows you to manipulate nearby plants and accelerate their growth.
The ability requires body movement to activate, and the frequency and amplitude of the movements affect its operation. The maximum number of plants that can be manipulated is currently unknown, but it is estimated to be between several hundred and several thousand.
It's a pretty good Devil Fruit Ability.
He is Binz!
They were two of Zephyr's students, and only she and Binz survived the attack by the ability users.
When Zephyr formed the "Pirate Guerrilla Force" to hunt pirates, Ain and Binz also joined them.
The third was a very burly man.
Shuzo is one of the few radical and tough-guy marines. He was a favorite of former Marine Headquarters Admiral Zephyr and the captain of the NEO Marine Guerrilla Unit. He always followed Zephyr and helped Zephyr establish the NEO Marines. He was Zephyr's right-hand man and respected Zephyr very much. He was even willing to sacrifice his life for him. He had two direct confrontations with Luffy and was defeated in the third confrontation.
His strength is extremely formidable.
A master of the Six Powers, he has also Awakening Armament Haki.
At this moment, Ain, Binz, Shuzo all showed expressions of shock.
They then exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.
Qi Qi thought to himself, "It seems that the World Government and the Navy have truly reached a dead end..."
Now, even something like this has happened.
They can all be assigned here; after all, this is the Marine Academy!
Their teacher was already an instructor. Just an instructor... although, in this Marine Academy, the teacher's word was law.
However, this power has already extended beyond the academy.
At this point, Zephyr finally spoke up, "Going once isn't a big deal, since I'm taking trainees on a training mission anyway. But, is the Navy really that short-staffed right now? So much so that they've even assigned me?"
Zephyr looked on with a hint of disbelief.
"Well..."
Sengoku did not reply, but only sighed heavily.
But everything was contained in that sigh.
Zephyr: "..."
He was speechless.
He muttered to himself, "When did the navy fall to such a state?"
But as soon as those words were spoken...
He immediately shook his head again.
Because he remembered that even one of the Five Elders had been killed. The Navy had also lost an Admiral... and a whole host of colonels and admirals had been lost as well.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
And once the thought came to mind, it was impossible to suppress. Even the corners of my mouth unconsciously curled upwards...
"???"
Ain, Binz, Shuzo exchanged glances.
Because they could tell that Zephyr's smile was genuine. You see, ever since that incident, their Zephyr teacher...
She's no longer the cheerful person she used to be.
He would occasionally flash them a few smiles...
But... this is the first time I've ever felt this way from the bottom of my heart.
At this moment, Zephyr had already come to his senses and immediately nodded. "Don't worry! Leave this to me! This time, I will take Ain, Binz, Shuzo with me."
Moreover, the academy's students and instructors will be together. This time, I'm not only going to take down Cavendish, but also thoroughly cleanse the North Blue's forces."
Ain, Binz, Shuzo immediately showed expressions of shock.
Their good teacher hasn't been this motivated in a long time.
Sengoku and Tsuru on the other end of the Den Den Mushi were also somewhat surprised, but in their eyes, it was a good thing.
So, I didn't dwell on it too much.
After all, North Blue does need a major move to deter others.
It also serves to intimidate the entire Four Seas...
Sengoku and Tsuru exchanged a glance, both smiling. In their view, once Zephyr appeared, the matter of the North Blue would no longer be a problem.
Sengoku, Tsuru, and Zephyr exchanged pleasantries for a while before hanging up.
But as soon as he hung up, Zephyr's expression changed. It became serious, and he turned to look at Ain, Binz, Shuzo, saying in a solemn tone, "If, one day... I find myself on the opposite side of the Navy, what will you do?"
These words were a test, but more like a shift in mindset.
"???"
Ain, Binz, Shuzo looked puzzled.
However, the three of them nodded in unison. "Whatever decision the teacher makes, we will follow it."
"Hahaha..."
Seeing Ain, Binz, Shuzo's Zephyr, Zephyr couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction.
