One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix.

"Luffy is really afraid of Miss An!"

On the embankment along the coast of KAZNAONSEN town, Brook and the others walked behind the two figures in front and said with sighs.

"Now, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is really the case."

"Yes! I remember when Luffy and Ace saw each other appear in Alabasta, their expressions immediately became serious."

Stroking the yellow railing of the river embankment, Kuzan suddenly laughed when he heard the conversation between Zoro and Sanji.

"Hahaha, it's really unexpected. The reckless Straw Hat boy actually has people that scare him."

With a yellow backpack slung across his body, Kuzan looked calmly, looking at the blue sea sparkling in the sun, and listening to the conversation coming from the front.

The slender woman grabbed the boy's ear and pulled him hard, while she kept scolding him.

"By the way, why did you quit the Navy?"

He handed over a lady's cigarette and lit it for the other party. Sanji also picked up a cigarette and asked tentatively while puffing away the smoke.

“Remember, there are some things in this world that are best not known.”

"Then why did you join the NEO Navy?"

Approaching quietly, Zoro also raised his own questions. After all, Kuina is now a member of this organization.

"Alala, this is all because of an agreement."

After hearing the story, Luffy, who was still being scolded, raised his head and looked at his sister with a bitter expression.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Kuzan talked about the past of the abandoned shipyard in Marineland 10 years ago.

"..."

"..."

"An, I remember you were only this tall at that time, right?"

Facing the little junior sister who was slowly approaching, the other person stretched out his hand and gestured, as if he was placing the justice on his shoulders on others, and the latter's mentality became much younger.

"At that time, Miss An was only a few years old, but she already had plans to overthrow the world government."

After listening to the story of the former Navy Admiral Aokiji, Brooke and the others trembled in their hearts and looked at each other with incredulous eyes.

"Okay, let's stop talking about old times."

"Luffy, you are chasing a guy named Z!"

An interrupted everyone's questioning and looked at Luffy.

"Ah, sister, how do you know, although that old man is quite powerful, I will definitely defeat him!"

"Of course he's awesome. After all, that guy is also a former navy admiral."

"well--!"

"That panting old man is actually a former navy admiral!!"

Thinking back to the previous fight, Luffy and the others did feel that the other party was strong, but they did not have the strong sense of oppression brought by the admiral.

"Admiral, that would be even better, I will definitely defeat him!"

After finding out the opponent's level of strength, Luffy was not only not afraid, but also became very interested.

"Alala, even if you are a retired admiral, that's not something you can handle now, Straw Hat."

There was no contempt in his tone, Kuzan was just telling the truth.

Using Luffy's strength two years ago as a reference, even if he is talented and intelligent, being able to master the use of Haki proficiently in just two years is probably the limit of his growth.

"Of course I know what it means to be an admiral, but I am not the weak guy I was two years ago." Lowering the straw hat on his head, Luffy's tone was full of confidence.

"Luffy, you..."

Zoro, Sanji, and Brook all looked at their captain with strange looks.

"Ah, you are really a single cell..."

Kuzan wanted to further elaborate on the greatness of Teacher Zefa, but suddenly An's voice interrupted him.

"Luffy, you don't need to participate in this battle, just continue your adventure."

"Sister, I can defeat that guy." Thinking that his sister didn't believe in his own strength, Luffy said quickly.

"I know, but I also said that your goal is ONE PIECE, don't waste time here."

"Sister, I..."

"Get out of here quickly!!"

"OK!!"

Luffy, who was originally planning to struggle, immediately calmed down.

"In this era of great pirates, on the sea, pirates targeting ONE PIECE are constantly appearing and being eliminated. The reincarnation is endless."

"In the waters of the New World, people on the sea have long been unable to tell whether ONE PIECE gave birth to pirates or whether pirates gave birth to ONE PIECE."

"As long as ONE PIECE still exists and the throne of the Pirate King remains vacant, the belief in becoming a pirate will never be broken."

"What you have to do is to defeat all the guys who stand in your way on the journey, go to Rafdru, take away the treasure left by my irresponsible father, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and pay for this absurd dream. Bring it to an end.”

……

"Alala, I'm curious why you have so much confidence in Straw Hat. You must know that this sea is full of thorns, and becoming the Pirate King is the most difficult road among them."

Walking towards the volcano in the distance of the town, Kuzan dragged Wilbu and MISS Bajin and asked.

"I believe in Luffy. After all, he is the savior that this world has been waiting for for 800 years, and I am just a passing tourist."

The second End Point location in the new world.

Among the sand in the sky, Zefa waved his black fist, and the hurricane he set off knocked away all the naval soldiers approaching him, and then fought with a rear admiral who rushed towards him.

After a few rounds, the black fist knocked away the opponent's seastone weapon, and a violent blow shot out of the air and hit the opponent's abdomen.

"Iron!"

Seeing this, the rear admiral's muscles all over his body twitched, his blood flowed at high speed, and his entire body turned into a piece of hard steel.

"boom--!"

The black giant fist hit the body, and the white air wave formed a ripple, rippling in the air. The latter's eyes turned white, and he fell towards the ground in front of him in pain.

"Your justice is useless!"

The fluttering dust fell, Zefa's black cloak took advantage of the afterglow, and his whole person was wrapped in the setting sun, looking at the new navy retreating from the crater.

"Whatever justice and freedom are, you all need to re-understand their meaning!"

The ticking timer sounded, and the explosive rock buried in the crater burst. In the huge explosion fire, the sleeping volcano was ignited, and the hot magma flew out, gushing towards the small town below the mountain.

Under the red clouds that filled the sky, Zefa walked towards the warship on the coast with the sound of explosions in the background without looking back.

"As long as this third End Point is destroyed, everything will be done. A sea without pirates will usher in a new future for the world."

"Ice Age!"

Just when Zefa was about to leave, the white cold air suddenly appeared, and a sheet of crystal ice covered the entire erupting volcano.

"Teacher Zefa, stop!"
