Zefa was a little surprised when he learned that the newly appointed admiral asked him something.
Although he no longer works at the Marine Headquarters and has been hunting pirates with his own pirate guerrilla team for many years, Zephyr is not completely unaware of everything.
He knew that the World Government had launched a worldwide conscription to expand the navy's strength, and that the two new admirals were both civilian masters who emerged from the conscription, rather than being trained by the navy.
In fact, Zefa does not really approve of world conscription. He thinks that only considering strength will allow a group of people who have made no contribution and have unknown character to hold important positions, which will have a huge negative impact on the navy.
Zefa has a special feeling for the navy.
When Zefa was young, he already had a sense of justice in his heart. When he saw gangsters bullying girls, Zefa would bravely stand up and help beat away the gangsters.
At the age of fourteen, Zefa joined the navy in order to realize the justice in his heart and began his long naval career.
During his naval career, Zephyr captured countless pirates, but never killed any enemy because this was the justice in his heart. Although these people committed crimes, they should not be killed directly by him, but should be judged by the navy and the world government.
He became a general at the age of 38. At the age of 42, he applied for resignation because his family members were killed, but his resignation was not accepted.
Later, Zefa retained the rank of admiral, but changed his job to become an instructor to train new recruits for the navy.
He served as the admiral for more than 20 years, during which time he trained a large number of outstanding navy officers. The three former admirals, Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru, were all his disciples, and many well-known vice admirals of the headquarters were also his disciples. It can be said that Zephyr was the teacher of a generation of navy officers.
Now that his family is dead, all Zefa cares about is "justice" and the navy he has been in all his life.
Zephyr on the warship looked at the approaching Navy Headquarters, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
"Teacher, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Ian asked.
In fact, they seldom return to the Navy Headquarters, and they never stay for too long.
Most of the people in the Navy Guerrillas hate pirates and wish to kill all the pirates in the world, so they are quite hardworking.
"About a week. You should take a good rest after fighting pirates for so many consecutive days." Zefa said with a smile.
The tragic experience did not defeat Zefa. When he was with his disciples, he still had many warm smiles.
Just as Zefa and Ein were communicating, the ship officially arrived at the Navy Headquarters.
What Zefa didn't expect was that this time when he came back it was not so deserted. Both Garp and Sengoku came to pick him up, and there was also a navy member he was not familiar with.
"Zeff, long time no see. It must be hard hunting pirates outside." Zhan Guo smiled and patted Zefa on the shoulder. He and Zefa are from the same class and are old comrades.
"Long time no see, Zephyr." Garp laughed and patted his old friend on the shoulder.
"You've really aged a lot. The last time I saw you, I remember your hair was still black, but now it's all white." Zefa sighed as he looked at Zhan Guo, whose hair and beard had turned gray.
"That's why it's not easy to be a marshal." Zhan Guo sighed. The great failure in the Battle of Marineford really turned his hair white overnight.
However, Zhan Guo soon laughed again. The fact that being a marshal was not easy had nothing to do with him as the previous marshal.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Fujiwara no Nagasawa, the new admiral of the navy." Sengoku introduced Nagasawa.
"General Zefa." Nagase greeted.
"Just call me Senior Zefa. I'm not a general anymore." Zefa said with a friendly smile.
Although he does not quite approve of the World Recruitment, with the introduction of Sengoku Garp, Zephyr has a good influence on Nagase.
Nagase nodded, then glanced at Ain and the other Pirate Guerrillas following behind Zefa, and praised:
"As expected of a team that you, Senior Zefa, personally formed. They look like elite soldiers with strong combat effectiveness."
No one doesn't like being praised, unless it's in a sarcastic way. Hearing Nagase's words, Zefa also smiled proudly.
Ian also began to like this unfamiliar admiral a little more.
"Oh." Yongze sighed at this time.
Zefa didn't understand why Nagase sighed, but Sengoku laughed.
"You're not going to say again that you don't have any useful subordinates, are you? It's no use telling us old guys, you have to go and talk to Sakaski." Zhan Guo said with a smile.
Nagase has repeatedly made it clear that he has no subordinates he can rely on and wants to transfer a few strong lieutenant generals to his side.
"Besides, you are too greedy. All you want are lieutenant generals like Aramaki and Smoker, not to mention Sakaski. I don't agree with that either." Zhan Guo advised.
Nagaze gave an awkward but polite smile.
After all, it would be a shame not to try. What if you give it to me? It would be a waste of time.
You can also try to influence them and bring them into the revolutionary army camp.
In fact, Nagase also wanted to get the fruit of Ein. The fruit of Ein was really not simple. It was a fruit of reversal that could even reverse time.
After hearing what Sengoku said, Zefa understood Nagaze's troubles. It was normal if you think about it. There are still disadvantages to jumping directly to the admiral.
Zephyr asked Ein and the others to disperse temporarily, and he chatted with Garp, Sengoku, and Nagase for a while.
When the reunion was over and the party was about to end, Nagase called Zefa and invited him to sit in his office.
Nagaze was very enthusiastic and kept praising him, not sparing any words like "teacher of the entire navy".
Seeing that Nagase was so enthusiastic, Zefa couldn't refuse, so he followed Nagase to his office.
But after arriving at Nagase's office, Zefa was stunned when he saw a piece of paper on Nagase's desk that looked familiar to him.
Zefa still hasn't forgotten that day eight years ago when he led his students to an internship and was attacked by pirates. His lovely students, the students he was proud of, died tragically in front of him.
Except for Ian and Binz, all other students died, and even Zephyr lost an arm.
Zefa changed his previous calm demeanor. He quickly grabbed the portrait on Nagase's desk, stared at it and asked, "General Nagase, what is this?"
"This pirate you mentioned is a target I am planning to attack in the near future. After all, as an admiral of the navy, I have to do something." Nagase explained.
Zefa clenched his fists, then relaxed them, trying not to let Nagase notice his loss of composure. Zefa took a deep breath and asked, "Nagase, I want to defeat this pirate with you."
"Senior Zefa, it will be no problem if you want to come and help." Nagase readily agreed and said that he would inform Zefa immediately if there was any news about Whitebeard II.
"It's a good deal for him to be able to have two generals join the crusade together." Nagase said.
Zefa didn't say anything. He had too many things on his mind at this moment.
… … …
The murder of the Celestial Dragons also caused a huge storm within the Revolutionary Army.
The Revolutionary Army were all very happy. The Celestial Dragons were killed. No matter who did it, it was a blow to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
In the past, the Celestial Dragons claimed that they were descendants of the Creator, were born noble, and enjoyed all the privileges.
But the White Devil used his actions to tell everyone that the Celestial Dragons are just the same people and will still be killed.
But the revolutionary army was also very confused. Who was this white devil who dared to kill the Celestial Dragons directly and even escaped the pursuit of the admiral? Why was there no news about him before? It was like a person who popped out of thin air.
With such courage to kill the Celestial Dragons, he should not remain unknown.
It was under such circumstances that the revolutionary army cadre Kerla received news from Xia Qi.
The message from Xia Qi was very concise, that is, someone wants to join your revolutionary army, and that person is the white devil who killed the Celestial Dragons.
After receiving the news, Kerla quickly reported it to Long, because this was obviously beyond her ability to handle.
Long was also quite surprised when he heard the news.
According to his speculation, the White Devil should be a powerful recluse who passed by the Sabaody Archipelago and might have taken action against the Celestial Dragons because he disliked them. He will continue to live in seclusion in the future.
After all, if a strong person of this level is determined to hide himself, it will be difficult for the World Government to find him.
Long had never expected that there would be such a good thing. A strong man who had done nothing actually took the initiative to ask to join the revolutionary army.
Long also showed great importance to this. The White Devil dared to attack the evil Celestial Dragons, and was very powerful, which was very suitable for their revolutionary army.
"Can you ensure the accuracy of the information?" Long asked.
Although he was happy, Long was not careless. He had to be alert to whether this was a trap set by the navy or the World Government.
After all, even in this era of great pirates where many heroes emerged, the person who was called the world's most vicious criminal by the World Government was not one of the Four Emperors, but Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
"It's the news from Aunt Xia Qi." Kerla said.
"If it's that person, there shouldn't be any problem. Reply to her. I will go and meet with the White Devil in person for the specific matters." Long Dandan said.
The Revolutionary Army is a very special organization. They gather together not for treasure or power, but for the countries and people around the world who are oppressed by the World Government.
Long needs to understand exactly what kind of person the White Devil is before he dares to let the White Devil join the Revolutionary Army. After all, this person is not a simple character.
After hearing the news, Nagase readily agreed and said that the meeting place would be decided by the revolutionary army and he would just go there when the time came.
The final meeting place was set on an uninhabited island not far from the Sabaody Archipelago in the first half of the Grand Line.
Because of Shaqi's previous information, Rayleigh temporarily ended his teaching of Luffy, although he was almost done.
After seeking advice from Nagase and the Revolutionary Army, Rayleigh and Xia Qi also followed Nagase to the island.
As for why he followed here, Rayleigh said that he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well go and see Luffy's father.
As for Xia Qi, since Rayleigh was still interested in her, she came along too, and there was no need to worry about any accidents.
After all, there are the Pirate King's right-hand man, Pluto Rayleigh, "the world's most vicious criminal" Dragon, and the White Devil. Even if three admirals come, they can't take him down.
Xia Qi and Reilly were aware of their role as bystanders; they did not say anything, but just watched quietly as Yongze and the revolutionaries met.
In addition to himself, Long also brought two people, one was the Revolutionary Army's staff officer Sabo, and the other was the Revolutionary Army's cadre Kerla.
"I am the White Devil. You can also call me by my name, Senju Tobirama, or Fujiwara Nagase." Nagase dropped a big bomb as soon as he opened his mouth, which stunned everyone.
Facing the revolutionary army that he had been planning to join from the beginning, Nagase had no intention of hiding it. The vest was used to deceive outsiders.
"Fujiwara Nagase... Isn't that the new admiral of the navy?" Kerla exclaimed, looking confused.
"Could it be that you have the same name as the new admiral?" Xia Qi couldn't help but ask.
This guy with white hair doesn't look like the Navy Admiral Fujiwara Nagase. He has black hair. Xia Qi doesn't think they are the same person.
One is a navy admiral, the other is a man who killed Celestial Dragons and wanted to join the Revolutionary Army. How could they be the same person
Not to mention Xia Qi, even Long and other revolutionary soldiers were extremely confused and couldn't figure out why this white devil suddenly did this.
"This is just one of my tricks." Nagase smiled, canceled the transformation technique, and returned to his original appearance.
"Actually, it was a coincidence that I became an admiral of the navy. I originally wanted to find the Revolutionary Army, but..." Nagase talked about his experience in the pirate world.
"Just like that, I became a general." Yongze spread his hands helplessly.
Xia Qi was confused. Who is this person? He got lost and met pirates and then the navy, and got acquainted with Garp and Sengoku. It happened to be the time for the world conscription, and he became an admiral at the speed of light.
I wanted to be a member of the revolutionary army, but because I couldn't find the way, I ended up becoming a general
"Awesome." Sabo gave a thumbs up. This experience was much more outrageous than his.
"Today's young people really can't be underestimated." Rayleigh said with emotion.
"Although I became a general, I only became a general because I thought this identity could help the revolutionary army, so I started looking for the traces of the revolutionary army again." Nagase continued.
At this moment, Long didn't know how to describe his feelings. If he had to describe it, it was like feeling paper in his pants that he hadn't worn for a long time. He would have been very happy if it was a banknote, but it turned out to be a large check, which was a double surprise!
"Won't the Navy become suspicious since you've been away from the Navy Headquarters for such a long time?" Kerla asked.
"Of course not, because I am still in the Marine Headquarters. The one talking to you now is just my clone." Nagase revealed another big secret.
Xia Qi didn't know how many times she had been shocked. It turned out that this was Nagase's clone. Even the clone could easily deal with Kizaru. If the clone and the real body were dispatched together, wouldn't they be equivalent to two generals
Even Rayleigh couldn't remain calm. How could Yongze, who was so powerful, be just a clone
If he could barely describe it just now, now Long can no longer describe his feelings.
