Chapter 94

"What is that? Why did it transform?!"

Gaban emerged from the wrecked cabin, looking at Zephyr, who was wearing a cloak and seemed to be Zephyr, somewhat puzzled.

But Zephyr didn't give him time to think it over.

Whoosh!

Zephyr a Hirenkyaku to dash forward, but it seemed he rushed too hard and crashed directly into Gaban.

Gaban was sent flying before he could even get his footing!

Zephyr pursued closely, exchanging blows with Jabba. With the added boost from his Blut Arterie, Zephyr overpowered Gaban, leaving him unable to retaliate.

"Asshole!"

Gaban roared and spread his arms wide.

With their twin axes crossed, they unleashed countless slashes, forming an impenetrable net of swords that ravaged the surroundings, leaving the warship's deck and masts covered in slash marks!

Zephyr's arms were crossed, enveloped within it.

When Gaban finished attacking, upon closer inspection, Zephyr had numerous fine cuts on his hands and body, and his clothes were stained with blood.

"Navy! I'm not afraid of you!" Gaban wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, where Zephyr had struck him.

Zephyr slowly lowered his hands and exhaled.

Hiss hiss~

Suddenly, white smoke billowed out, like steam, and swirled around Zephyr.

Gaban still didn't understand what was happening.

Zephyr's wounds were already healing themselves. With each breath Zephyr took, the injuries inflicted by Gaban were quickly healed.

Zephyr raised his hand, a flash of light appeared, and a deep red Reishi Bow appeared in his hand.

"What...?" Gaban exclaimed in surprise.

A red arrow was already flying towards Gaban.

Gaban instinctively turned his head to dodge, and the arrow grazed his ear as it flew to the side.

Just as he was about to turn back, his gaze suddenly shifted.

"Hero's Kick!"

Zephyr's two footprints landed squarely on Gaban's face! It was a flying kick, his cloak billowing behind him.

Bang!

Gaban's feet left the ground, and he flew backwards for dozens of meters.

They flew off the warship! They crossed the middle of the sea and flew directly back to their own ships.

"... Gaban?"

On the pirate ship, some of the pirates who remained behind were completely dumbfounded when they saw Gaban suddenly fly back and crash into the mast.

Gaban spat out a mouthful of blood, rubbed his face, and felt a little dizzy.

"Damn it! What's wrong with that bastard?!"

He thought for a moment, Zephyr deliberately shot an arrow to distract him, then instantly closed in and kicked him away with both feet.

It's easier said than done.

He quickly scrambled to his feet, otherwise he would be embarrassed if Rayleigh saw him.

As soon as he stood up, he saw Rayleigh.

"Rayleigh..."

"Call Roger back right now; we don't need to fight the Navy at all."

"That makes sense!"

Gaban said he was convinced by Rayleigh.

The two of them ran together to the bow of the boat.

Roger may have just exchanged blows with Garp, and landed on the bow of the ship after falling from mid-air.

"Roger, let's bypass the navy!"

"Good!"

Roger didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order.

The pirates quickly returned, and then the ship turned around and sailed in another direction.

"Vice Admiral Garp?"

"It's alright, don't worry about it."

Garp landed on the warship and waved to the approaching Marines who came to inquire, indicating that it was alright.

And so, the unexpected encounter between the Marines and the pirates ended after a brief skirmish, with one side retreating on its own initiative.

The sailors cleaned up the mess, treated the wounded, and repaired the damaged ships.

But the story isn't over yet.

"I'm a little tired."

Zephyr withdrew from the Vollständig and took a breath.

He noticed the gaze and saw Garp staring at him with a look of surprise mixed with deep emotion.

"When you brought me out of the Wandenreich, I wanted to ask you this: you've become Quincy now? Just like those surrendered Marines?"

Garp walked up to him, hesitated, and asked.

Zephyr had no intention of hiding anything from the beginning, and directly told Garp about his encounter with Kaya in the main hall and what happened afterward.

His thinking was that the Quincy had become a force to be reckoned with, even more dangerous than pirates.

Because no pirates are thinking of overthrowing the World Government, but the Quincy's goal is quite direct.

Therefore, Zephyr took the initiative to become Quincy in order to understand this power and prepare for possible future situations.

"The future? What will the future hold?" Garp asked.

"We don't know yet, but it will definitely be a super war that sweeps across the entire world." Zephyr's expression was somber.

When both of them remain silent, the world may be quiet for a while, but it will always be ignited again.

How long will it take? That remains to be seen.

"Vice Admiral Garp! Vice Admiral Zephyr! Vice Admiral Sengoku is calling!" A Marine soldier holding Den Den Mushi suddenly ran towards the two.

"Understood." Garp took the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello," came Sengoku's voice.

"I ran into Roger here, nothing serious, what's up?" Garp asked.

"On the World Government's side, after the Five Elders were all wiped out, a new system of one-person rule was reinstated."

"... who?"

"It is said that his name is Narona Imu."

Garp fell silent, exchanging a glance with Zephyr, neither of them knowing what to say.

They don't know this guy named Imu, but the news of the World Government changing its leader will soon spread all over the world.

Most surprisingly, this one person is in charge of the World Government? Doesn't anyone have any objections?

It feels a bit like a dictatorship...

"So what? Let's just change it then. Was it really necessary to make a special phone call?" Garp said indifferently.

"The World Government has ordered the Navy to begin World Military Draft. Mary Geoise is taking it very seriously; they might be preparing for some major war," Sengoku said in a low voice.

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Garp hung up the phone.

Garp and Zephyr stood at the bow of the ship, feeling the warship beneath their feet start up. Their feelings were different, but similar in complexity.

It feels like the world is going to fall apart...

Meanwhile, the Roger Pirates took a detour and finally arrived at God Valley.

But when Roger and his crew landed on the island, they were met with a desolate scene.

"So this is the God Valley?"

"Did we come to the right place?"

"Of course, don't question the navigator!"

"Pshaw! It's the middle of nowhere!"

Roger and his crew stood on the island, finding nothing particularly interesting, and many felt they had made a wasted trip.

At that moment, Rayleigh suddenly remembered something.

"Where's that Quincy? Didn't he say he was coming with us? Where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered.

Before setting off from Hachinosu, a guy named Basard suddenly approached us.

Basard claimed to be Quincy and knew the secrets of God Valley, while they, the pirates, went there and found nothing.

Roger thought it wouldn't hurt to bring someone along, so he brought Basard onto the ship as well.

Upon inspection, God Valley indeed contained nothing.

"Where's Basard?" Roger shouted.

"That guy... during the battle with the navy, it seems like nobody saw Basard." Gaban frowned.

The group searched the ship but found no one there; Basard seemed to have vanished into thin air.

This result left the entire group of pirates speechless.

"That bastard!" Roger yelled angrily.
