Chapter 9: CH-9
While he is looking at sky with emotions,
Zefa did not stay at home. Tonight, he has a meeting to hold. This meeting is very important to both of them, especially for Yoriichi.
In the fleet admiral 's office, Kong is sitting behind the desk, and in front of him are two stacks of documents. At this time,he is seriously flipping through them, creating a rhythmic sounds.
Not only Kong himself but also Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Sengoku, are present.
"Knocking!"
Suddenly, there is a knocking sound from the outside of the office.kong raised his head, and shouted sternly,
"Come in!"
The door of the office was pushed open, and that figure is none other than Zefa himself.he quickly walked into the room with a "justice" cloak.
"Why it's taking that long?"
"Is there a problem?"
Kong didn't answer Zefa's question directly, continuing to lower his head again, and flipping through the documents in his hand.
Seeing kong's appearance, Zefa shrank his pupils slightly as he took a deep breath.when he was about to speak, Tsuru raised her hand and stopped him:
"Don't worry, just sit on the sofa."
" there are some doubts, but it's nothing that serious "
Hearing this, Zefa asked in a deep voice,
"What doubt?"
Just when Tsuru was about to explain, Sengoku on the side answered:
"Yoriichi, the real age should be in his 12 years old age."
"According to information from the survivors of that island who are being rescued by Garp, he has indeed been living on the Island."
"His parents arrived on the Island 20 years ago. As for the origin, there is no way to verify it."
"When he was one or two years old, both of his parents died of illness when he was just 8 years old."
"He was raised by the neighbors, but suddenly he disappeared two years ago. When the townspeople saw him again, it was in the ship of garp."
Zefa has been frowning and listening to the words of sengoku. he said with a little dissatisfaction:
"Hey! what are the doubts you mentioned?!"
"Isn't this make him innocent?"
"The thing about he disappeared two years ago, was most likely because he got lost in the forest. There are many large beasts on this Island. "
"I knew you are suspicious about his sword techniques and his sword!"
"Maybe,they are being passed down by his parents. "
"This world is so big, it's not surprising that
such things exist!"
"Also, because of his talent that he can survive for that long and being discovered by garp!"
"So, Sengoku,what are the doubts?!" Zefa's words are full of defense for Yoriichi.despite his spending time with him is quite short, sometimes time doesn't matter in fateful ones.
he likes Yoriichi,a child full of talents and expression that quite unfitting for his childish like face. For a child of this age to be so mature,he must have suffered a serious heartbreaking moment.
"Well, don't worry."
"Listen to me, Zefa." Sengoku smiled and waved his hands like he perfectly understood the feeling that zefa is getting.
Afterall, he too is the same who is quite attracted to a orphan kid. Sengoku adopted a child named Rosinante. During that time, Sengoku didn't know the identity of that child, and thought simply.
Only after he searched for his background, he found that Rosinante was actually a Celestial Dragon, a member of the Don Quixote family. However, this incident did not cause any waves in the navy. It was not because of they are overly benevolent people but because of he, himself. Those who knew the news are the few people in the office at this time.
After the death of his family, Zefa devoted himself to the future of the navy, and cared for the juniors of the navy until Yoriichi came into his life.
Before him , no naval cadets had ever been treated like this. Zefa, like the sengoku back then, committed the same problem.
"Say!"
Zefa snorted softly, clasping his hands on his chest.
"The suspicious point is his weapon, and, according to Garp, he has also awakened conquerer Haki"
"At least from your talking,he seemed to have no idea that he have been awaken or he chose to omit its"
"Also, from the local's understanding about his family,they are not sword master either.They don't even know how to fight!"
"So,where those things come from?"
Sengoku said this before he paused, and turned his eyes to Zefa.After seeing Zefa's silent figure, Sengoku continued:
"I think you should have noticed that the knife in his hand is by no mean an ordinary!"
"However, it's also not one of the supreme swords."
"The person who can forge this kind of weapon can't be an ordinary person, right?"
"As for conquerer Haki,this is most dangerous aspect of him.we all knew that all the owner of this Haki are destained to become a something far greater than any one of us can imagine!"
"What if he walked to the wrong path with all the knowledge that we gave.....?"
As soon as Sengoku said this, Zefa seemed to have figured something out, shook his head, and continued: "I just hate your argument the most!"
"Yoriichi is Yoriichi. It has nothing to do with his sword or his inherent haki!"
"If you worry about him being a possibility of evil person,then it isn't our job to guide?"
Speaking of this, Zefa stood up suddenly, he already had a understanding of what their opinions about him and these were enough! As Zefa walked towards the door, Kong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:
"Zefa!"
"You're right. After all, he's just a child whose parents died young and needed to guide"
"Within 5 years, I will not allow him to leave Marineford! Moreover, I will not allow you to reveal the secrets of the navy, whether it is intelligence, haki, or even Six Styles!"
"Before he becomes an adult, he will focus on exercising his body and learning some necessary knowledge."
Hearing this, Zefa turned his head and snorted coldly: "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing, I know it too!"
"Boom!"
Afterwards, Zefa walked out of the office, and he slammed the door shut. Sengoku looked at Zefa who left, and sighed.
"I don't think I have anything more to do here. I'll go back first. that boy Rosinante is still waiting for me."
Kong looked at Tsuru, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
Crane is the brain of the navy, even if the other person is a woman.That why, he still attaches great importance to Crane's opinion.
"It's very clear, don't worry about anything."
"This child is just a blank sheet of paper. I believe that Zefa will teach that child well."
"Zefa is not Garp. he is reliable." Speaking of Garp, Kong couldn't help but clutch his forehead, feeling a big headache. Garp is a vice admiral who turned down the position of the admiral,and his son, Monkey D. Dragon, is also in the navy.but recently dragon has repeatedly disobeying the orders, and his actions have become unpredictable. This gave Kong an ominous premonition about that family.Everything they do is making trouble for navy!and this time is the same.
"Garp,I hope that you don't act recklessly if you knew this matter"Kong muttered at he looks at the night sky.
