Chapter 219 Life Beyond Contradiction
Zefa is a man for whom justice runs through his entire life.
No matter his wife and children were killed by the pirates he let go, or his students were slaughtered by Whitebeard II and his right arm was cut off, he never gave up his pursuit of justice.
He once questioned himself, the navy, and the government, but he never questioned justice!
The man named 'Z' is undoubtedly a righteous man worthy of respect!
Lex admires such people in every sense of the word.
Therefore, it seemed reasonable to avenge his wife and children and catch the murderer.
For some unknown reason, the news of Zefa's wife and children being murdered has not yet spread across the sea, and no newspaper has reported this explosive news.
That afternoon——
Zefa's residence.
Zefa was alone in mourning for his wife and children. You could hear a pin drop in the courtyard. No one disturbed Zefa at such a critical moment. Everyone tacitly gave Zefa time to recover and catch his breath.
"...Tina, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."
He repeated the words countless times and murmured them unconsciously again. The circles under Zefa's eyes were dark purple, which were the marks left by fatigue and excessive sadness.
next moment--
A burst of azure light flashed, and Lex and the Red Earl stepped out from the void.
Zefa didn't move at all, and his observation Haki seemed to be just a decoration. He was completely unaware of the arrival of Lex and the Red Earl.
"...What can I do for you two?"
Zefa's voice was hoarse, as if his throat was rusty, but he remained motionless, guarding the tomb of his wife and children.
Lex and the Red Earl did not answer, but walked forward step by step and knelt down in front of the mausoleum to pay tribute.
After the memorial service, Lex looked at Zefa.
"Condolences."
"…Thank you. If there is nothing else, please go back to the New World. I don't want to see pirates now."
Zefa lowered his head very low, his voice was extremely low, and boundless depression and sadness were suppressed in his chest.
"I don't want to talk to you about whether I am a pirate or not. I just want to ask, do you want revenge?"
When Zefa heard this, his body finally trembled slightly and he looked directly at Lex:
"how you said that?"
Lex didn't waste any words. He just waved his hand. The azure starlight flickered, the space fruit was activated, and several pirates who were tied together appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.
!!! ~
When Zefa saw this scene, he stood up suddenly.
Lex ignored Zefa's actions and continued:
"Don't worry too much. There is no conspiracy here. I don't need to use any conspiracy against you. I just can't stand these bastards and I feel sorry for you, so -"
"I don't need your pity, just take them away..."
Zefa suddenly interrupted Lex and said something shocking, actually asking Lex to take away the murderer who killed his wife and children!
Is he really that weak?
The culprit who killed his wife and children is right in front of him, and he doesn't kill him?
Do not! !
This is precisely the personal charm of Zefa, truly practicing the justice of not killing.
To be honest, Lex was a little unhappy at this point.
"Hey, Mr. Zefa, why do you insist on your pedantic justice? Since the pirate killed someone, he should pay with his life. This is the law of nature. Why bother? If Mr. 'Don't Kill the Admiral' is merciful, then let me be the bad guy."
After saying that, Lex no longer hesitated and drew out the long sword from his waist - Budu Yuhun!
Immediately, in front of Zefa and the Red Earl, he stabbed the pirates in front of him one by one and executed them slowly! ~
Blood plasma flowed down the floor, dyeing the entire courtyard red. Lex did not allow these pirates to roar, but sealed their mouths to increase their pain!
Time passes and birds fly across the sky, proving that time has not been frozen.
The courtyard was dyed red with blood. Zefa knelt silently beside the tomb of his wife and children, still without saying a word.
When Lex asked him to kill his enemy himself, Zephyr refused.
And when Lex executed these people by slow slicing, Zephyr acquiesced.
This is also a contradiction in human nature.
There was silence and no one spoke.
Finally, Zefa broke the silence first:
"…If you think that you can change my position by such means, then you are overthinking."
Lex laughed:
"Hmm, do I look like a careerist who only knows how to scheme?"
"A bit like."
The Red Earl suddenly answered Lex's question.
Lex: “…”
"Ahem, anyway, Mr. Zefa, I don't want to kill your enemies for you. I just don't like them. As for what you think, that's not for me to know. Finally, I'm sorry for your loss. Goodbye."
Lex stopped talking and left with the Red Earl.
The azure starlight flashed again, and the figures of Lex and the Red Earl disappeared. Only Zefa was left in the courtyard, but there were corpses all over the ground.
Zefa continued to remain silent for a long time. He turned around and looked at the corpses on the ground.
In the past, Zefa has always been very disgusted by such bloody scenes.
How could a general who could even let the enemy go bear to see such a bloody scene?
But this time, Zefa smiled.
It was a sad smile, a pitiful smile, and a hearty smile.
"Hahaha……"
for a long time……
"Thank you, Leon Lex."
Zefa said the last sentence very softly, so softly that apart from himself, only Lex and the Red Earl in the different space heard it.
In a different space——
There is one thing that is still unclear about the Red Earl:
"How do you ensure that Zephyr doesn't doubt your motives?"
"Master, at our level, it is impossible to use such a despicable scheme. I did avenge Zefa. As for what Zefa thought in the end, didn't he just thank me? So the goal has been achieved."
"At the end of the day, you are still using this matter to gain profit."
Lex nodded:
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't, I avenged Zefa, and Zefa thanked me, that's enough. As for what you think, that's not for me to know."
The Red Earl chuckled;
"Hmm~"
"Are you not going back to Pentles with Gion?"
"No, let her stay in Marinford. I'll pick her up after the Expo is over."
