Chapter 92 Zephyr
recruit training ground.
The former Marine Admiral Zephyr is training a new batch of Marines.
The quality of this batch of Marine is very good, and Zephyr is very satisfied.
But some of the news he heard recently made him despair.
The Whitebeard II who killed so many of his students was going to become a Shichibukai, which he couldn't accept.
Originally, his wife was killed by pirates, and he already wanted to retire.
After being saved by Sengoku, he continued to teach his students, but the students were also attacked by Whitebeard II.
A boatload of students!
Only two were left with him, which made Zephyr even more disappointed.
He even had the idea of leaving Marine to start his own organization.
Perhaps, when the news of Whitebeard II is confirmed, it will be the moment when Zephyr betrays Marine.
The pirate guerrilla group he founded has been running for two years.
If you leave Marine, directly lead these troops to continue hunting pirates.
However, in recent times, there seems to be no news about Whitebeard II.
This also allowed Zephyr to start teaching the new generation of Marine recruits.
"Ahem!"
Zephyr is called Black Arm Zephyr.
His hands can use "armor color hardening", hence the title "Black Arm" Zephyr.
But his life was unfortunate.
What a tragedy.
He got old and got sick.
"It's an old problem." Zephyr said calmly.
Asthma, Zephyr can be said to be really old and sick.
The student who took care of him was one of the only two people left on the student ship.
Binz.
Those with the ability to flourish fruits.
Can control nearby plants and speed up plant growth.
It is somewhat similar to the green cow's dense fruit, and may be a lower-level fruit of that one.
"It's time for you to rest." Binz looked at his teacher distressedly.
On that ship, if it weren't for Zephyr's strong resistance, the two survivors would have been killed by Whitebeard II.
"It's okay." Zephyr took a rest and continued training Marine recruits.
"You can't persuade the teacher." Next to Binz was another student.
Ain.
Those with the ability to regress the fruit can regress the age of others by twelve years if they touch it.
The retrograde ability of this fruit is related to the user's strength. Ai Yin's strength can only retrogress twelve years.
Touch it a few times and it will disappear from the world.
"Hey, that matter has always been the teacher's worry." Ai Yin sighed.
(To be honest, I never understood why Ain wasn't allowed to touch Zephyr and those old Marines a few times to bring them back to their peak, so I can only guess.)
Ain couldn't help it. His regression fruit could indeed restore Teacher Zephyr's body to what it was decades ago.
But this also comes at a price. He only needs to faint or lose consciousness once.
This ability is disabled, so you must put yourself in a safe place, just like the childlike fruit of sugar.
However, as the teacher has been chasing pirates, Ai Yin will sometimes play in person.
If the teacher suddenly loses consciousness while he is fighting with others, the teacher will really be in a desperate situation.
Also, Zephyr is very stubborn and is unwilling to let Ain move his body backwards.
This is also the temperament of the older generation.
As a student, Ai Yin could only follow the teacher's wishes.
He is a seventy-three-year-old comrade, so just follow his wishes.
If the teacher wanted to leave Marine, the two of them would also leave with Zephyr.
"However, there has been no news about Whitebeard II recently." Binz thought about it.
Whitebeard II is dead, but the World government doesn't know.
Just in time, Doctor Death Law submitted a hundred pirate hearts and asked to join the Shichibukai.
The World government agreed and Law became the new Shichibukai.
If there is no news about Whitebeard II, leave it alone. At worst, he will find other pirates.
.....
“This Marine class is very energetic!”
Zoro also came to the recruiting camp.
The recruits who can be pulled directly to Naval Headquarters for training are those who are different from ordinary people.
Maybe there will be a few Marine Vice Admirals in this class in the future.
"Zephyr Admiral."
Zoro came specifically to see Zephyr this time.
Zoro sympathizes with Zephyr, but disagrees with his original concept of justice.
Justice without killing.
If you don't kill those pirates, those pirates will kill your family.
Zephyr understands this truth deeply.
His concept of justice also continued to change.
He no longer believes in the justice of not killing, but kills all pirates.
"Huh? Zoro?"
Zephyr is not very fond of Zorro.
Zephyr was not around when Zoro beat Garp.
I don’t know why Garp retired, and the others are tight-lipped about the matter.
Although Zephyr is a Marine from the same class as Sengoku and Garp.
The relationship can only be described as average.
But we have worked together for decades, and it is said that Garp will come to teach Marine recruits after he recovers from his injury.
We are colleagues again.
"I brought you a gift when I came this time."
Zoro said as he took out Whitebeard II's iconic long beard.
"This is!"
"Weeble's beard."
Too familiar, Zephyr is too familiar.
That incident was deeply engraved in his mind, and he would think of that scene every day and every night when he dreamed.
Weibull hacked his student to death and left one of his hands on the ship.
The scarlet ship was strewn with the corpses of his students.
Weibull is hunting his students, and he only hates his lack of strength.
"Dead." Zoro said two simple words.
"You don't have to worry about him becoming a Shichibukai either."
When it comes to who is least likely to spread the news about Whitebeard II, Zephyr is definitely number one.
Zephyr tremblingly took over Whitebeard II's beard, which was still stained with traces of flesh.
But Zephyr doesn't care at all.
That guy is dead.
This is considered to be the fulfillment of one of Zephyr's wishes.
He would not let him betray Marine again, and Zoro was not willing to let Zephyr, who had worked hard for Marine all his life, meet a tragic end.
Zephyr didn't shed any tears, his tears had long since dried up.
"Thank you very much."
Zephyr himself had nothing to thank Zolo for for his help.
All I can say is thank you.
"Zephyr Admiral, you don't want this world to be plagued by pirates, right?"
Zoro continued.
This is still very tempting for the current Zephyr.
"You?"
Zephyr seems to have some doubts about Zoro, not about his strength, but about his age.
Are you so young and have such a big hatred against pirates?
But Zephyr doesn't care about this.
Kill the pirates, kill all the pirates.
It has almost become Zephyr’s inner demon now,
"How about it?"
Zoro also remembers the ability he received from Lafitte, Hypnosis.
It makes it easier for others to trust you.
Zephyr already had this idea, and Hypnosis only exacerbated it.
Not to deceive, but to let Zephyr follow his heart.
"Kill all the pirates."
I don’t know if Zephyr was affected by Zorro’s Hypnosis, or if that’s what Zephyr himself thinks.
Anyway, Zephyr agreed.
The two students behind him would not stop their teacher, they would just follow him.
