Chapter 209 - The battle for justice

A few days later.

Navy headquarters, Ma Linfando, a meeting is being held.

The senior management of the Navy headquarters gathered in the conference room.

In the smoke, everyone kept silent and looked solemn, so that there was only the sound of flipping through documents in the entire conference room.

Wow——!

The Warring States Period sat in the main seat, looking at the CP organization, the information just sent and the transfer order from the world government, frowned:

"Is this day still here?"

"I knew that guy Ski was not a peaceful existence at all. He was his best move to mess up this sea."

"But the golden lion's legs had already been cut off by him when he escaped from prison, and the rudder on his head was even more deeply rooted in the skull, but he still had the combat power to easily suppress the Knight Gao Wen?"

"No. It should be said that it is Knight Gao Wen, who now has the combat power to escape from the Golden Lion?!"

You should know that when the name Gao Wen appeared in the sight of the Warring States Period half a year ago, he was still a pirate with a bounty of only 200 million yuan.

The top naval executives here can easily attack them.

But in just half a year, he first killed the original king's seven-war sea Hanavza, and then defeated the former naval general Zefa head-on.

If the Warring States Period could understand it, then the strength of the battle with the Golden Lion in front is already outrageous.

"Now, there are probably only a few people in the Navy who have the ability to suppress the Knight Gao Wen, and this growth rate..."

The Warring States Period began to doubt whether it was correct to ask Gao Wen to join the Seven Warriors Sea.

But he knew more clearly that in the eyes of Zefa, under that situation, neither the navy nor the world government had any choice.

"Maybe, in another one or two years, this guy will be able to compete with the Four Emperors on the same stage."

After saying that, the Warring States Period couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that his thoughts were a bit unrealistic.

However, the solemn faces of the senior naval executives in the conference room and the increasingly solemn atmosphere around him were constantly reminding him that such a thing was definitely not impossible.

"hiss--!"

Warring States Period took a deep breath and lowered its voice:

"What do you think about this?"

"With the danger of the golden lion, we must not let it go."

Akainu's face was cold and hard, and the cigar on his mouth lit up red, and the entire conference room became hot at the moment when he opened his mouth:

"Twenty years ago, that guy destroyed almost half of the Navy headquarters."

"In terms of the strategic threat to the navy alone, the Piaopiao fruit is enough to be on par with the Whitebeard's quake fruit!"

"You all here probably haven't forgotten it, right?"

"When I was beaten to run away with the Golden Lion Flying Fleet?"

"That's a navy's shame!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's brows frowned even tighter.

Most of the people who can sit in the position of lieutenant general step by step have experienced the era of the Golden Lion, and they are more aware of how much pressure the man brought to the navy.

"General Sakaski is right. The threat from that guy named Golden Lion must be killed as soon as possible."

"Knights Gowen, Clockdal, and Golden Lion, the three forces gathered in Alabastan, will definitely not be as simple as a coincidence, they must have some plans!"

"That's right, although that country is a franchise and one of the twenty countries that created the world at the beginning, everyone here should know that that country is an absolute alien."

"Maybe there is something ulterior motive hidden."

...

The discussions of the crowd gradually sounded, and the conference room became noisy in an instant, but in the next moment, it was interrupted by a sudden sound.

"I'll go and have a trip on this matter."

"Something happens to be something, I want to ask Knight Gaowen."

The moment the sound appeared, the entire conference room became quiet.

Even Kizaru, who looked lazy, sat upright at this moment and looked at a corner of the conference room.

Zefa was at the intersection of everyone's sight, but there was no discomfort on his face, only indescribable indifference.

His right arm had been removed from the crusher and replaced with a lighter prosthetic.

The whole person no longer had the courage he had before, but the domineering aura that was unintentionally dissipated made the people present feel indescribable.

After so many hardships, this man had already reached a state of depression, old age and physical weakness, and losing everything.

But because he was captured by the knight Gowen, he enriched his faith and revitalized.

What magic does that man have?

At this moment, not only the senior naval executives present, but even the Warring States Period had such questions.

After a brief silence, everyone's eyes focused on the Warring States Period, which made him suddenly clench the documents in his hand.

Since Zefa was captured by Gao Wen last time, his attitude towards the navy and pirates has undergone amazing changes.

He no longer avoided the struggle for discourse power with the Warring States Period, and even put forward many opinions that were contrary to him.

The whole person seemed to be more and more sharp, as if he had lived out in the second life.

The Warring States Period did not know whether it was good or bad, but a second voice appeared within the navy, which would inevitably lead to a decline in cohesion.

What is involved is the control of the four seas and the control of the paradise will decline rapidly.

Without waiting for the Warring States Period to speak, Zefa continued:

"In the Warring States Period, what I told you, the orders of the world government are not necessarily correct, nor do they necessarily represent justice."

“To truly understand what justice is, the first thing we need to understand is what evil is.”

"Is it the pirates that created this era, or is it the pirates that created this era, and what exactly caused countless civilians to survive-!"

Bang!

The documents in the Warring States Period smashed on the table, interrupting Zefa's speech. A little unconcealed anger appeared in his eyes:

"Zefa, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zefa did not give in and stood up directly:

"Then what are you afraid of?"

The Warring States Period was breathing suffocated, and the expression was extremely difficult to see, but it was not because of Zefa's confrontation.

He knew Zefa's past and knew what this man had paid for the navy and justice.

But because of his understanding, he hesitated again and again when dealing with Zefa's issue.

Ke Zefa blurted out today, which was already shaking the Navy's roots, which he could not bear.

How could he not know about the dark side of Zefa’s known problems, the world government?

But there has never been absolute justice in this world!

The final result of direct confrontation with the world government can only drag the world into the quagmire of war again.

Therefore, the person who dies will be astronomical, and compared with this little sacrifice, it is so insignificant!

Maintaining the balance of the overall situation and minimizing the civilians who sacrifice as much as possible is the only way out!

When he thought of this, the eyes of the Warring States Period had turned red, and two cold words blurted out from his mouth:

"go out!"

"Warring States Period!"

He suddenly spoke, but was one step late.

Zefa in the corner turned around and left without any hesitation.

Scream~!

The office door opens.

The dazzling sunlight shone in, hit Zefa, casting a tall back, covering everyone in the conference room.

When the Warring States Period looked at this scene, it felt indescribable guilt in its heart, but it became firm in the next moment.

This is for justice!

The righteousness of the navy!

“The meeting continues now!”

As soon as the Warring States Period was finished, Aokiji stood up. He raised his hand and clenched his head, his voice still as lazy as before:

"Ah~"

"I'll go and look at Teacher Zefa and stop doing anything impulsively."

The Warring States Period nodded indifferently.

Seeing this, Aokiji stopped stopping and turned around and chased Zefa's back and left.

Bang!

The meeting room door is closed.

The dim light fell on everyone's faces, reflecting faces with different expressions.

The Warring States Period took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and said coldly:

"Porusalino, Alabastan matter, you go and have a trip."

"The Shining Fruit has the ability to fly and suppress the battlefield in a large range, and was prepared to deal with abilities like the Golden Lion."

"It's time to use it now."

Kizaru nodded, angry but weak:

"Understand, sir ~"

...

Naval Officer School.

Teaching building.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Zefa stood on the rooftop, looking down at the energetic recruits below, with a calm and calm look on his face.

He once regarded cultivating a new generation of the Navy as his lifelong career.

But now I realized that there was something wrong with the Navy's roots. If this cannot be changed, no matter how much you do, it will be futile.

"Teacher Zefa!"

Aokiji chased after him, and saw that Zefa had no intention of turning back, so he took the initiative to hand over a bottle of Sherry wine as usual.

Zefa looked at the bottle body, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then took off the bottle plug and let out a deep mouth:

"Tsk-ha!"

"It has not changed for decades, but it still tastes like this, pure."

Seeing that Zefa seemed to be indifferent to everything he had just now, Aokiji felt much more at ease, but he couldn't help but be extremely curious about what Zefa had experienced during the period when he was captured by Gao Wen:

"Teacher Zefa, what did you experience during your time in Raven Port?"

"That's how this change happened?"

Zefa put the bottle at hand, and his eyes remained on the recruits below, and said lightly:

"Do you know?"

"I have been chasing pirates for decades, arresting countless pirates, and I have always believed that what I did was the right thing."

"But it was not until I heard what Knight Gowan said that I realized that I had never known the pirate group."

"I don't know why they went out to sea, and I don't know what they've experienced, but just blindly chasing the false justice portrayed on the naval flag."

The lazy look in Aokiji's eyes suddenly dissipated. Only by understanding the changes in Zefa can we untie Zefa's heart:

"What's the matter?"

"If there are any choices, except for a very small number of pirates like Skey and Rocks, who would be willing to be a pirate?"

“…”

Aokiji fell silent for a moment.

He remembered what the world government did in O'Hara, and also remembered that he had carried out countless missions to escort the gold in heaven.

At this moment.

Aokiji suddenly realized that those who have a knot might not be Zefa, but himself, but the entire navy.

Before Aokiji could speak, Zefa turned around and asked:

"What about you?"

"Have you ever known this?"

"As long as we used to be, we couldn't find the right direction, but we were still wandering like a walking corpse."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Aokiji twitched his mouth and said helplessly:

"I was worried that you couldn't help but chase after you. You were really no different from before, and you didn't care about the students' feelings at all."

“Hahahaha~”

Zefa's hearty laughter suddenly sounded on the rooftop.

Ke Zefa's eyes, as he smiled, there were a few more crystal tears:

"How come I don't know the idea of ​​the Warring States Period?"

"But those who were sacrificed to maintain overall stability should be born to become the nutrients for the continuation of the world?"

"Who has ever cared about their feelings?"

"What is the difference between peace created by the involuntary sacrifice of some people and the bread with blood?"

Aokiji was stunned for a moment, but turned to look at the innocent recruit below, feeling panic.

Zefa raised his hand and patted Aokiji on the shoulder:

"If you want to eradicate sin and maintain justice, you must at least know what sin is."

"Kuzan, open your eyes and see what the world really looks like."

"A confused fist cannot lead you to your own path."

Qingzhi nodded, but couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the knight Gao Wen who made Zefa enlightened:

"What kind of person is that guy?"

Zefa naturally knew who Aokiji was talking about. After pondering for a while, he gave his own answer:

"As a pirate, he is undoubtedly unqualified."

"But if he can become a king, he will be a good king even if he doesn't mention his level of governance. After all, I have only met this one in my life who can empathize with the pain of the lower class."

"How do you want to meet?"

Aokiji was stunned:

"The Warring States Marshal didn't say it just now..."

"What he said doesn't end."

Zefa grabbed Aokiji's hand and pressed it on Aokiji's chest:

"It's up to you if you say it here."

The wind from the rooftop blew for a moment, shaking the cloak on Aokiji's shoulder.

The word "justice" is extremely dazzling at this moment.

...

Inside the conference room.

With the deployment of the Warring States Period, a group of senior naval executives dispersed, but only the Warring States Period and the Crane were still sitting in their own positions.

"You shouldn't have said that just now."

"Zefa has paid too much for the Navy and justice. Even if it is a battle for justice, it should not hurt his heart at least."

Faced with the questioning of He, Warring States Period closed his eyes and remained silent. He felt extremely guilty, but he did not regret it.

After counting the breaths.

The Warring States Period said:

"How come we never had such an idea back then?"

"But the world is not a fairy tale after all."

"War, fighting, plunder, these things that are born from the darkness of human hearts cannot be completely eliminated."

“Justice is never omnipotent.”

“All we can do is to compress the unrest to the minimum range to the maximum extent.”

"Zefa... is too naive."

"well."

With the crane's sigh, the conference room fell silent again.

But she had an inexplicable premonition in her heart that the dispute at today's meeting might just be the beginning.

navy.

The weather is about to change.
