One Piece: My Spirit

This sea has long been corroded by something. If the rotten roots are not cleaned up, the new seeds will never be able to germinate.

Zefa naturally knew exactly what Shire's words meant, but it was precisely because he knew the meaning that he suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Zefa spoke slowly:
"Are you also a revolutionary army?"

Charles shook his head and said, "Why do you think that only the revolutionary army can rise up against the rule of the Tianlong people on this sea?"

"The revolutionary army only represents a part of the will to resist, but it doesn't completely represent other people. Don't you know it in your heart?"

Zefa's eyes suddenly froze, and he stared at Charles coldly: "What do you mean? What do you know?!"

After seeing Zefa's reaction, Ciel showed a smile: "I? I don't know anything, but I understand one thing very well. As long as the justice in your hearts is not completely corrupted, then some things are bound to happen."

Zefa stared at Ciel's face, and after a few seconds, he snorted coldly, and then turned to leave.

"Mr. Zefa, in fact, you also understand very well that as long as the root of corruption still exists, the healthy branches will be infected, and what you have done is nothing more than tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall.

This kind of self-deception is really interesting! "

Charles' words were full of sarcasm, and exploded in Zefa's heart like a depth bomb. As soon as the words fell, the enraged Zefa on the opposite side punched Charles' head with a fist at lightning speed!

It's just that Shire didn't dodge at all, and Zefa's fist stopped suddenly when he was less than one centimeter away from Shire.

"Little ghost, you are still too immature with this level of provocative tactics!"

Zefa put away his fist, just as Zefa said, if the punch was really hit, it would mean that what Shire said was correct, and he became angry from embarrassment.

However, this scene also frightened Ain and Binz behind Zefa.

Ciel didn't care about Zefa's irony, but continued:

"What are you afraid of? The world government, or what is it about the Tianlong people that scares you so much?"

Zefa's expression froze when he heard Charles' words, he stared at Charles coldly, and said after a few seconds: "No, our navy believes in not only justice, but also loyalty!
Without the world government, there would be no navy today. The reason why the navy exists is precisely because of the existence of the world government. This is the fundamental reason. "

It’s like sailing on the sea. It is because of the existence of the ship that there are a series of existences such as the captain and the crew. It is not because of the captain and the crew that you can go to sea!

It is this essential difference that Zefer is talking about.

The navy is like the crew, once there is no ship, they lose their meaning of existence!

It's like a change of dynasty, a slave to a subjugated country, alive, but has no meaning to live.

This is not a question of whether to reverse or not, but a question of whether it can be reversed. If it is reversed, the foundation of the navy will also be overthrown. So what is the point of this after the reverse?
In essence, the world government and the navy are the trunk and branches of the same fate.

"Is there any meaning in existence?"

Although Ciel understood what Zefa said, he couldn't agree with it.

"So for such a reason, can you tolerate the various crimes of the Tianlong people? Can you tolerate the collusion between the world government and the pirates?"

Charles looked indifferent.

"Do you know where the biggest arms in this sea come from? It's not Doflamingo, let alone pirates like Kaido, but the World Government!

The world government is the biggest arms dealer in this sea!How many of the so-called 'emperors' of the dark world are actually puppets of the world government?Spokesperson?
On the one hand, it claims to maintain the peace of the sea and the incarnation of justice; on the other hand, for its own benefit, it indulges various crimes like a devil, letting crime and war ravage the sea.

The matter of Punk Hazard is enough to prove many things. The place that claims to be the most righteous and bright in this sea is also the biggest place where filth is hidden in this sea. "

Zefa's clenched fists creaked. Facing Charles' words, Zefa couldn't give any answer at all. Facts speak louder than words. After Zefa left the navy, he saw a lot of "darkness" that he had never seen in the navy!
And Zefa himself left the navy, to a large extent, because the world government made Edward Weibull, the murderer who bloodbathed the trainee navy ships, as the new Shichibukai.

"If you just wanted to laugh at me, congratulations, you did it!"

After leaving these words, Zefa seemed to no longer want to see Ciel, so he turned his head and left.

But Shire's words made Zefa, who was about to leave, pause.

"In this war-torn sea, not every place is as peaceful as the East China Sea. Perhaps at this time of our conversation, in a certain corner of this sea, a village or a town has been destroyed."

"Are you willing?"

Zefa turned his head suddenly, with a terrifying aura exuding from his body, staring at Shire, as if waiting for what Shire wanted to say!
"Are you willing to watch the people suffer from the flames of war and the ravages of pirates?

Old Ji Fuzheng, ambition is a thousand miles away!
In his old age, the martyrs are full of ambition!
Zefa, don't you want to do something? "

What Shire said not only made Zefa frown, but even Ain, Binz and the others seemed to understand the meaning, especially what Shire said made Zefa, even Ain and others feel extremely touched!
"What do you mean? You want to win me over?!"

Zefer glared at Ciel.

Charles shook his head lightly: "No, we never wanted to win you over, but...now the East China Sea may still have the value of a navy, but it is no longer necessary.

Once transferred to the "Great Channel" by the Navy Headquarters, it is just treated as cannon fodder. Don't you think it is a waste? "

Zefa seemed to understand the meaning of Ciel's words immediately, and he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and looked at Ciel again.

Ciel moved his body slightly, and gave Guina the next words.

Guina said straight to the point: "There are a total of 17 naval branches and a naval base in the East China Sea, with a total of 2153 people and a total of medium-sized ships."

Following what Kuina kept saying, Zefa's face changed constantly.

"The above is the full strength of the East China Sea Navy. Their warships are all new ships manufactured by our 'East China Sea Dockyard', and the same is true for weapons and ammunition.

If necessary, in addition to the naval base in Rogge Town, we can also set aside some islands for you to train these sailors. "

Zefa stared at Kuina and Ciel, his face constantly changing, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart. After a long time, Zefa sighed and said:

"What do you all want?"

After a few seconds of silence, Kuina slowly said:

"Mr. Zefa, you seem to have misunderstood it. It's not what we want? It's whether you want to do something!"

"If you are poor, you will benefit yourself, if you are rich, you will benefit the world. We are only doing what we can and what we think is right!
We just re-polished this 'sword that fell on the ground and was covered with gray' and handed it to you. Whether you want to use it or not is up to you to decide. "

After finishing speaking, Kuina bowed slightly to Zefa, and then Kuina turned around and left with Ciel.

Zefa stood there stunned.
The images from the childhood to the twilight years flashed through my mind involuntarily, and at the end, the words that Charles said earlier sounded.
Old Ji Fuzheng, ambition is a thousand miles away!
In his old age, the martyrs are full of ambition!
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"

Before he knew it, tears fell from the corners of Zefa's eyes.

"Since this is the case, no matter what conspiracy or wishful thinking you have, the old man will take it one by one! Hahahaha!!!!"

Zefer threw his head back and laughed.

Kuina and Charles looked at each other, and both had faint smiles on their faces.

"Hey, I'll give you a piece of advice!"

Suddenly, Zefa called out Kuina and Ciel.

"Whether it's the World Government or Kaido's pirates, they won't let the East China Sea go! Especially you, Ciel!"

Charles was taken aback for a moment, but then he waved his hands and said with a smile:
"Really? We are really looking forward to that day!"
