Chapter 218: Zefa's Big Event
The World Expo was held in the midsummer of 1490 in the Haiyuan calendar.
Although many islands in this world do not have the distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter, for Pentletes it is midsummer.
at the same time--
On the other side of the ocean, a shocking and horrific tragedy is happening!! ~
Marine Headquarters, Malinfando.
Family area.
Today, a group of unfamiliar faces came to the family area of Marinford, but as one of the busiest islands in the world, there are too many people coming and going every day.
As long as you do not trespass into a military area without permission, you will generally not be stopped.
Not to mention the family quarters.
Near Zefa's residence——
The pirates in disguise were quietly planning their next move—
"Brother, what do you say?"
"I have investigated thoroughly. Zefa's wife and son are both weak and powerless. Zefa's house is not heavily guarded, but only patrolled by a few ordinary soldiers."
"Gat, your Silence Fruit can eliminate the sound of our battle. We just need to quickly deal with the navy patrol soldiers passing by here, and then quickly sneak into Zefa's house. Humph! ~ Let's go all out and kill his family!! ~"
When the desperate criminals around heard that they could kill Zefa's family with their own hands, they couldn't help but look excited.
"We must take revenge on Zefa! What a bullshit! He has captured us but he doesn't kill us personally. Humph, teach him a lesson!"
The human heart is unpredictable and the world is hard to predict.
Zefa's justice of not killing not only failed to gain the repentance of these pirates, but instead brought him into a huge disaster.
All I can say is that most pirates are just a group of extremely evil villains who are not worthy of being human.

That afternoon——
Marinford let out a cruel roar, the sound was so shrill that it told of the great pain that the world had brought to him.
“Ahhhh!!~——”
Zefa knelt weakly on the ground, holding the bloody bodies of his wife and children, his eyes empty and blank, and the world was gray.
A group of senior naval commanders stood around, looking at Admiral Zefa's grief-stricken figure with sympathy.
This man has one of the best armed color domineering in this sea, but he cannot protect his family.
He had unparalleled physical skills, but he could not keep up with the speed at which his wife and children were dying.
He had the reputation of being the "general who never kills" that shocked the world, but it became the root cause of the death of his wife and children...
He gave the world a sincere justice, but what did the world give him?
Endless pain...
This man is experiencing the most important moment in his life, which will become the biggest turning point in his life.
"..."
Silence, silence as cold as ice, depression, depression like stagnant water.
Those generals with outstanding combat power and great reputation were like children who had done something wrong at this moment, and did not dare to say a word to Zefa, including Cyborg Kong.
a long time.
Zefa gently picked up the bodies of his wife and children, and step by step, waded through the blood, and left this sad place.
Upon seeing this, Kong Gang opened his mouth to speak, his lips moved but no words came out.
As a bystander, my heart couldn't stop beating just by watching this scene.
What's more, what about Zefa himself...
Black Arm Zephyr, his wife and children were brutally murdered by the pirates he once let go!
The justice of not killing has never been so shaken as at this moment.

Before the news was reported in the newspapers, Lex, who was far away in Pentleres, was the first to know the news.
Sengoku, Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru and others who were also at the Pentles World Expo had not even received the news.
Lex was talking to the Red Earl when he suddenly received the news that Zefa's wife and children had been murdered.
He put down the Den Den Mushi, stood up, and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, which pointed directly to Marinford. It seemed that he had passed through the vast Grand Line and saw the heartbroken Zephyr.
Lex said softly:
"What do you think, Master?"
The Red Count, who had just heard the news from Den Den Mushi, couldn't help but feel a little touched:
"...The justice he upheld became the culprit that ruined his wife and children, Zefa..."
Lex's eyes were deep:
"…Ah, Justice, I really admire Zephyr."
The Red Earl rarely takes the initiative to evaluate others:
“I admire that, too.”
You have to know that the two people who said these two sentences, one is a legendary pirate, and the other is the king of the New World.
However, from an objective point of view, Lex and the Red Earl both admire Zefa very much as a person.
This is a man with justice as heavy as a mountain, a true navy!
Although his justice may seem kind and weak, isn't it also a kind of persistence?

That night, Zefa didn't sleep a wink.
Alone, he sat in front of the coffins of his wife and children the entire night...
He became the loneliest wandering soul in Marinford.

at the same time.
Lex went out personally, bringing the Red Earl and Gion, and they traveled a long distance to the vicinity of Marinford.
Lex told Gion:
"Don't take the initiative to look for Zefa. Just be like the other generals. Do whatever they do. Wait for Zefa to calm down for a while."
Although Gion was puzzled, he still nodded obediently:
"What about you and Master?"
"The two of us, ... go and avenge the righteous General Fusha."
"Revenge?~"
Gion was surprised.
"Yes, there is no one more suitable than me and Master. We can read minds, and with our wide-range observation Haki and mind-reading abilities, we are more than capable of finding the murderer."
Gion understood, and immediately waved his fist:
"We must catch those bastards!~"
"That's inevitable."
As soon as the words fell, Lex and the Red Earl disappeared into the void.
this moment--
Those who avenge Zephyr include not only the entire navy of Marinford, but also a legendary pirate and the king of the New World.

In the marshal's office.
Cyborg Sora asked his secretary;
"Is Zefa feeling better?"
The secretary shook his head in a low voice:
"He still refused to eat or drink, and just sat in front of the coffin in a daze."
Cyborg Sora looked helpless:
"Alas, it seems that this incident has dealt him a greater blow than I expected."
After a pause, Steel Bone Sora continued to instruct:
"All recent missions regarding Zefa should be transferred to other people. Don't disturb this poor man. The justice of the navy still needs him. I hope he can come out of this."
"Yes!"
Cyborg Sora then asked;
"By the way, is the World Expo almost over?"
"Yes, the end date is getting closer and closer. Many people have left recently, and many people want to witness the closing ceremony of the Expo."
"Well, keep paying attention. By the way, besides Garp, let Sengoku and Kozuru return to Marinford as soon as possible. After what happened to Zephyr, many missions cannot be carried out. Sengoku and Kozuru are needed."
"Yes!"
After a pause, Kong suddenly thought of something and added:
"Also, the Shichibukai plan mentioned above should not be implemented for the time being. It is better to delay it as long as possible."
The secretary was a little puzzled, but still answered firmly:
"Yes!"
"Well, let's go down."
