Shock from Zephyr

"Moke!????"

Led by Reiju, Moke quickly arrived at Zephyr's location.

When Zephyr saw Moke, he was first stunned. Then his expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with horror.

How did you get here?

Zephyr's mind went completely blank for a while before he came to his senses. Then, their gazes fell on Reiju.

He glanced at Moke again.

Then he understood.

"So Cavendish was one of yours, or rather, just a smokescreen. Germa 66 has also been subdued by you and become part of your ranks."

"Germa 66... sent Cavendish to capture the Marine Branch. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Could it be that they intend to occupy the entire North Blue?!"

Although the last sentence was phrased as a question, he already knew the answer in his heart.

"Call..."

Zephyr took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then he stared intently at Moke: "Aren't you afraid that by doing this, the World Government and the Navy will go to any lengths to deal with you?"

"Regardless of everything?"

Moke laughed, "I was indeed afraid, which is why I initially had Cavendish openly attack the North Blue Marine Branch."

Upon hearing Moke's words, Zephyr had a bad feeling.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Then why did you show yourself? Weren't you afraid of the news leaking out? I am indeed old, and may not be your match... but I can still find an opportunity to send the message out."

"Hahaha..."

Moke burst into laughter. "You're trying to trick me! But I might as well tell you, since there's no need to hide my identity anymore."

He paused, then stated bluntly, "Because Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, leading the entire Revolutionary Army, has already begun to conquer the West Blue. Hawkeye's pirate crew has also set its sights on the South Blue. Now, of the Four Seas, only the East Blue remains calm; the other three seas are in turmoil. The World Government and the Navy simply can't manage it all!"

"Revolutionary Army Dragon? The new Four Emperors Hawkeye?"

Zephyr's eyes widened in disbelief.

Then, with a hint of confusion, he said, "A bunch of rabble... The World Government could easily defeat them one by one!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, seeing Moke's confident eyes and meaningful expression, her face changed again, and her voice involuntarily rose a few decibels. "You three have joined forces?"

If that were the case, the World Government would be in big trouble.

The strength of these three parties is overwhelming. The key is that a large number of powerful individuals in the New World are tied down. There are simply not many people who can be freed up.

If it's just a matter of dealing with one side, I'm quite confident.

Therefore, taking them down one by one is not a problem at all.

However, if the three parties have joined forces... unless the Knights of God and the army are dispatched to protect the Holy Land, there is simply no chance of victory.

The Four Seas and the Red Line are the foundation of the World Government.

Currently, three of the Four Seas are at risk of being occupied. This has completely crossed the bottom line of the World Government.

It's estimated that they will indeed send the Knights of God and the army. However, they probably won't dare to send out their entire forces... Otherwise, if their base is raided, the joke would be too much. But unless they send out their entire forces, there's no chance to quickly defeat these three parties and take the Three Seas back from them.

Zephyr's expression changed again, because he had thought of a problem.

Binz, Shuzo, Ain... That's right Binz and Shuzo went to meet Ain. They came from the same direction as Moke, just in case they ran into him.

Wrong!

Germa 66 had already been subdued by Moke, so from the very beginning, it was all a setup.

The purpose was to cramm him and everyone at the Marine Academy inside. And unfortunately, they are now all inside.

At this moment, Judge, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are probably dealing with Binz, Ain, Shuzo.

Upon realizing this, Zephyr became anxious.

It's important to know that Binz, Ain, and Shuzo are his most outstanding students right now. In addition, he has always been very concerned about his students.

How could we possibly just stand by and do nothing?

He glared at Moke and demanded, "What did you do to Binz, Ain, Shuzo?"

Moke laughed, "Looks like you finally thought of them. But don't worry, I've already given the orders. Leave these three alive!"

"Call..."

Upon hearing this, Zephyr breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He then scrutinized Moke closely and asked the question that had been bothering him, "With your strength, there's absolutely no need for you to pull this stunt. You could just lead your men to attack our doorstep... So, what exactly is the purpose of all this planning?"

Moke was very straightforward. "You! If I take you down, I'll have another Admiral- level powerhouse in my crew. I can also recruit many elite marines and cadets trained by the World Government's Beli, and even a group of experienced academy instructors... With you all, my Moke Pirates will have another talent training base."

In the days to come, they will provide our pirate crew with a continuous stream of manpower.

"I?"

Zephyr was stunned. He had never imagined, no matter how hard he tried, that Moke's target would be him, and the entire Marine Academy he controlled...

His gaze towards Moke immediately changed.

Only now did he understand.

The guy in front of me may just be a pirate emperor, but his mindset is completely different.

Ambition!

An ambition to replace the World Government —this is a dangerous individual, as dangerous as a dragon. However, whether in terms of strength, strategy, or methods of developing power...

They are all far superior to dragons.

"Hahaha..."

Zephyr burst into laughter. All along, Dragon had been the one the World Government most wanted to get rid of. Now it seemed how incredibly foolish they had been.

This one before us is far more dangerous than a dragon.

Although the dragon possesses considerable strength and dragon power, the idea of overthrowing the entire World Government in his lifetime is simply wishful thinking. All he desires is to liberate as many kingdoms as possible.

Then, his ideas will be passed down.

Just like Roger back then... they were figures who ushered in an era. But... they themselves did not become an era.

It is even more unacceptable to bring an era to an end.

But this guy in front of me is very likely to be one.

But who is he?

Zephyr!

He wouldn't let himself be taken down so easily. Thinking of this, Zephyr's aura changed instantly, becoming sharp and intimidating.

He was like a wild beast unleashed from its cage.

"Crusher!"

Zephyr launched the first attack, blasting Moke with his massive iron arm Crusher.
