All kidding aside, Rocks really asked me to be the captain!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

After a tiring journey back to the Navy Headquarters, Zefa went directly to the hospital morgue and looked at his wife, whose body was covered with a white cloth and stiff, with a dejected look on his face.

On the way back, he received a call from Zhan Guo...

The two didn't say much during the call.

Zhan Guo just asked him to come back to the headquarters as soon as possible.

After a few days passed.

Under the auspices of the Navy Headquarters, Zephyr attended the funeral of the families of the generals who suffered, including his own family.

He is approaching middle age

His career in the Navy has basically reached its peak, and with his wife and son around him, he is a successful man.

However, this sudden murderous intent made this usually gentle and polite man panic.

The man who always had a smile on his face suddenly became silent.

Things were going very well a few days ago.

His wife and son waved goodbye to him at the door, asking him, as a father and husband, to be careful of pirates.

Now, in just a few days, he has become a lonely man who has lost his wife and son...

The breakdown of his family caused Zhefa, who was originally enthusiastic about the naval career, to lose his previous enthusiasm.

I no longer have the mood to take care of these tasks.

Ever since that day when he smashed the heads of an entire ship's worth of pirates and tortured them to death.

Zefa has already begun to have extremely strong doubts about the justice he has upheld for decades.

As one of the three most powerful admirals in the Navy Headquarters.

Zefa's own faction believes in justice that does not involve killing.

Even if the most vicious pirates were captured, at most they would be thrown into a huge underwater prison instead of being killed directly.

Zefa originally thought that his justice would more or less influence some pirates.

But at this moment, he fell into deep self-blame.

It was his justice that killed his wife and son.

night.

Zefa came to the Crescent Naval Port where he often took his children to count stars.

at this time.

The sky is dotted with stars, shining faintly like gems inlaid in the black night sky. Although these stars are tiny, they are numerous and densely distributed in the sky, forming a beautiful and spectacular picture.

Some stars twinkle brightly, as if showing their existence to people; while others are relatively dim and require careful observation to be discovered.

In this vast starry sky, the boundless vastness is revealed at all times.

In the past, whenever Zefa looked up at the stars with his wife and children, his heart would become very calm and peaceful.

In the busy life of the Navy Headquarters, such moments allow him to temporarily forget his worries and immerse himself in the beauty and magic of nature.

Perhaps it was because of the tranquility and beauty of having his wife and son by his side that Zefa himself began to develop a special liking for the lonely starry sky.

Now there are two less people playing around...

The starry sky seems a bit boring...

"Really...why did I rush into that mission?"

"If I had been on vacation that day and stayed at home... maybe this wouldn't have happened..."

Deep self-blame lingered in Zefa's heart.

Although I clearly know that I have nothing to do with this.

But Zefa could never get out of the barrier in his heart.

He has submitted his resignation as admiral to Admiral Konggu of the Navy Headquarters.

The heartbroken Zefa has begun to doubt his own inner justice.

Moreover, his wife Mary Ling mentioned a name called Ge Hao during a phone call with him a few days ago...

Zefa believed that if he remembered correctly, there was no one named Gehao among the pirates with a bounty of about 300 million berries on the sea!

This is like a pirate made out of thin air...

But without any evidence, he had no way to question the "hand" in the darkness.

The matter has become a foregone conclusion.

Instead of doubting everything, it is better to find a quiet place and stay alone for a while...

Ta-ta-ta~

Just as Zefa was looking at the twinkling stars in the sky in confusion.

A steady and powerful sound of leather shoes appeared behind him.

"Are you here to comfort me too? Stop kidding..."

"I am...Z~"

"This little pain...I will digest it by myself...it will be fine after a while..."

Zefa didn't look back, but he could clearly see the figure behind him.

The two tall navy officers who came to the port area at this time were the current Navy Headquarters' highest combat power admiral, Buddha's Sengoku.

And following closely behind him was the heroic Vice Admiral Iron Fist Garp, who also had a frown on his face.

"I don't know how to comfort people, but before that, I decided to let you see this photo~"

Zhan Guo's tone was quite low.

Then, under Zefa's puzzled gaze, he took out two photos from Garp's pocket.

"This is?"

Zefa took the photo casually.

The next moment his black pupils shrank rapidly.

The two photos showed his wife Mariling and his son being captured when they were killed by Ge Hao in the family quarters behind the Navy Headquarters!

One picture shows his son being strangled to death...

The other one was a picture of the wife's forehead being pierced by the so-called pirate Ge Hao with his finger, leaving a big hole...

"This is the Navy's Six Secret Techniques... the technique of using the finger gun..."

Decades ago, he trained hard as an ordinary marine until his current position as admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Zefa is very familiar with the Marine Headquarters...

Now take a look at the photo.

He could clearly recognize that these were the key points of the gun-pointing movements that he had once trained his troops on!

Even if he turned into ashes, he would recognize this posture!

But the so-called Ge Hao in the photo, he had never seen it on the Navy’s bounty order!

Absolutely not!

Among the pirates whose bounties can reach hundreds of millions these days, Zephyr has already memorized them all!

That is to say...

It has been confirmed that this Ge Hao was a guy sent by other forces!

"Although these agents were indeed very covert, they even created a series of fake identities by causing trouble at sea a few months in advance~"

"But such means are not enough to deceive the secret investigation team members in our Navy Headquarters~"

"The only way a pirate could get directly into the family quarters behind the Marine Headquarters is..."

Zhan Guo paused and did not continue speaking.

However, Zefa is naturally not a stupid person.

After seeing the fear in Zhan Guo's eyes, he also understood the cause of the incident.

"The World Government~"

"What interesting old guys~"
