One piece: voyager

"That's good."

Zephyr looked at his immature face and nodded.

Looking at those clear and bright eyes, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the photo on the table.

The woman in the photo is holding a baby who was still a young kid smiling brightly.

"Blaze, have you killed anyone?"

Zephyr asked suddenly.

Blaze hummed.

"The old man have faced many pirate with his life on line to protect the civilians but the irony is that the old man's own family was killed by the pirates."

Zephyr said in a low voice, "I hate pirates!"

Blaze was silent.

"The old man is old, not as good as when he was young. The crusade against the pirates is already a bit difficult. But now the pirates in the sea are more powerful and lawless than before! The evil they have done is enough to fill up the whole sea!"

Zephyr clenched his fists and his tone was full of hatred for the pirate and unwillingness to grow old.

He took off his sunglasses and looked at Blaze, his eyes very solemn and serious:

"Blaze boy, your potential is great that the old man has never seen it before."

"If you are willing to join Marine, the old man is willing to give you a lesson! In less than five years, you will definitely become more than ten times stronger than now! Ten years later, you can become the youngest Admiral in Marine's history!"

Blaze shook his head.

"I don't plan to consider this for the time being."

Zephyr's face sank and he stood up abruptly.

He put on his sunglasses and looked down at Blaze.

Suddenly.

A strong sense of pressure fell on Blaze's shoulders instantly.

"Then I will let you take a good look at the evil of the pirate and then you can decide whether or not to consider it."

Zephyr strode out of the house.

soon.

The warship left the harbor and sailed out of Marineford.

Marine headquarters building.

Sengoku and Tsuru stood by the railing, looking at the warship that was leaving.

"Zephyr has been too paranoid about the pirates' methods over the years. I don't know if anything will happen."

Tsuru said with some worry.

"Although Zephyr is old and not as strong as when he was young, it's still Marine headquarter's Admiral Black Arm Zephyr after all." Sengoku wearing a Marine hat hugged his arms and said, "There should be no pirates crazy enough to provoke him ."

"I hope so."

...

Zephyr's warship left Marineford and sailed on the vast sea.

Marine freshmen performed their duties in an orderly manner.

Others exercised on the deck and competed.

Ain, who was unwilling after losing last time, approached Blaze again and wanted to compete with him again.

Since Blaze was trying to get more familiar with Rokushiki he couldn't ask for any other suitable and seductive sparring partner than her.

After seven days of competition.

Blaze became more familiar with Shave and Tempest Kick . And even Moonwalk had some clues.

soon.

The warship arrived at an island reported to be controlled by a pirate regiment.

"This is the Ghost hand Pirates, the leader of the Ghost hand pirates is a devil fruit user with a bounty of 37 million belly."

Zephyr spoke to the Marine soldiers including Ain, Binz and Shuzo in front of him.

"Your mission is to completely destroy the Ghost Hand Pirate Group! You can't let the pirates go! Did you hear it clearly?!"

Zephyr went to the front of the line and the soldier behind him started to get serious too.

"Order received, teacher Zephyr!"

"Okay! go now! Blaze, you too come with me."

Ain and other Marine freshmen disembarked first with weapons.

Zephyr walked behind with Blaze and several adjutants.

Some troops were also left behind on the warship.

[_ Ding, the host is in Sigile island . Sing-in can be achieved . Do you want to sign-in? _]

"Sign in."

[_ Sign-in successful :

>vitality value +10. _]

With the strength and weaponry of Ain and others, it was not difficult to deal with the pirate group that was offered bounty of 37 million belly.

Zephyr took Blaze into the island controlled by the pirate group without taking part in the fight.

A large number of ragged and scrawny civilians were digging in the mine. The women were like cattle and there are also many underage girls who were covered in only a layer of rags and their skin is full of bruises and their eyes were devoid of any light.

"Is this what you want to show me?"

Blaze's little shaky voice sounded behind Zephyr.

"It's not just these."

Zephyr pointed to the distance.

The pirates fought back frantically before being caught.

Especially the captain of the Ghost hand pirates, using the power of devil fruit by which his hands became like the hands of a beast with sharp claws. After being cut by Ain's Tempest Kick, he grabbed the companion next to him and directly pierced his sharp claws into his body ignoring his cries of mercy and used the fruit's ability to absorb the companion"s blood to restore his injuries.

"Betrayal, cruel, cold-blooded, crazy...this is pirate. They are the evil in this world."

Zephyr looked over there, his tone full of hatred.

Blaze glanced at the battlefield over there, then looked at the desperate and numb civilians around him and finally his eyes fell on Zephyr's tall back and after adjusting his mentality he spoke:

"I did see the evil of the pirates but at the same time I also saw the incompetence of Marine."

Zephyr turned his head slowly and stared at Blaze.

"Marine's... incompetence?"

"If it wasn't for Marine's incompetence, why could this kind of pirate be allowed to do this kind of work on this island for so long."

Blaze stared at Zephyr unceremoniously.

"Isn't Marine claiming the justice of the sea? Then why are these people so desperate and numb? Isn't it letting down their hopes again and again?"

"Admiral Zephyr is only speaking about the wrongdoings of the pirate but is completely ignoring the incompetence of marines? Don't tell me that marines didn't have any idea about the situation here for 4 years long . Or are the marines only supposed to protect the countries who pays heavenly tribute to the world government? "
