...

"Hello?"

"...Ah, it's me."

After finally getting through the call, Warring States immediately closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, but he didn't feel much relieved.

Because he felt something was wrong from Teya's tone. For a moment, Warring States didn't know how to say the next sentence, or even what to say.

On the other end of the phone, Teya stood at the stern of the ship. It was still raining lightly, but there were still a lot of blood stains on the deck behind him.

Thea's expression was very heavy, and he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth before continuing to speak.

"The guy who attacked the Kingdom of Seta is the same person who attacked the warship. He claims to be Whitebeard's son, Edward Weeble."

When Warring States heard these words, he immediately frowned.

Whitebeard's son?

Almost all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates are called his sons by him, but this is obviously not the same concept as what is known so far.

Could it be possible that Whitebeard really has an heir?

"What's the situation with the warship?"

"When I arrived, the enemy had already been seriously injured and fled. However, almost half of the new recruits died..."

Teya paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued with a choked voice: "Teacher Zefa, his right arm was severely injured."

"..."

There was silence on both sides of the phone, and then Teya heard a dull sound, which seemed to be Sengoku hammering the table.

But Warring States then said: "I understand, I will ask Lieutenant General He to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Sengoku's expression became particularly solemn. He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

On the empty playground, scenes of many recruits training seemed to gradually emerge, but then disappeared in front of their eyes.

Warring States rubbed his eyes twice, sighed, and began to make preparations for handling this matter.

On the warship at this time.

Thea stood at the stern of the boat, still holding the phone that had been hung up long ago.

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

The gray sky was like snow mixed with dust, looking dirty gray-white, but the thin lines formed by the raindrops hit Teya's cheek, and it felt cold...

Run quickly——

The long knife was broken into two pieces with a crunch, and the end with splinters of wood stabbed Zefa's right arm, and blood dripped down the wound.

But the other part hit the other recruits like a cannonball, tearing their bodies apart, and just the impact took away their lives. On the hanging heads, the lusterless eyes seemed to still have a trace of unwillingness.

die--

"Teacher Teya?"

As if the bloody scene suddenly dissipated, Thea turned around and found Ain holding his bandaged right arm. There was still some blood on his clothes, and even his thigh was bandaged.

The person who brought Thea back to reality from her thoughts just now was Ain.

And she stood there looking at Teya, her face seemed to be stained with tears.

But Thea knew that even when he arrived here, she looked more seriously injured than she was now, but she seemed to be numb and did not shed a single tear.

Only when she opened Zefa's coat and saw Zefa's badly injured right arm did she cover her cheek and endure not crying, but tears dripped down the gaps between her fingers.

Thea only regretted that he came too late, and going to the rescue was also the order given to him by Zefa.

Unexpectedly, despite his departure and Zefa's change of course, he still did not escape this disaster.

Although nearly half of the new recruits suffered casualties, in the original novel only Ain and Binz were left.

Zefa must have tried his best to protect these recruits, but the recruits still did not choose to evade, and unanimously chose to face the enemy.

Although they are like a mantis trying to use a chariot, they are also marines, and it is good for them to die in the battle.

"Teacher Teya, did I do something wrong?"

Ain's cheeks were still stained with dried tears, and the look in her eyes made people feel distressed.

After Zefa received treatment just now, he was already grieved by the loss of blood and the death of the new soldier, and fell into a deep sleep.

Binz was there watching, but Ain wanted to go out for a walk.

She thought that she had decided to rush out first and led everyone to kill them, but now she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.

If it hadn't been for her impulsiveness, perhaps those friends in the same class would not have died.

Teacher Zefa would not have her right arm severely injured in order to protect the recruits. Although Teacher Zefa’s final explosion almost severely injured the recruit, she still felt in her heart...

Thea looked at Ain who lowered his head and sighed deeply.

This matter may still be too heavy for her.

However, Thea still squatted down and looked at Ain, and said seriously: "I can't say whether you are right or wrong, because you need to find this problem yourself. I have been as confused as you, and even blamed myself."

"But..." Thea gently stroked Ain's head, and then continued softly, "Those dead companions had dreams and willpower just like you. We will eventually forget them. , but don’t forget their dreams and will, because those things will make you stronger and stronger.”

Ain was stunned. She looked at Teya, but her little body began to tremble. Finally, she gritted her teeth and threw herself into Teya's arms, hugging Teya tightly.

She had reached her limit and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Teya hugged her. Although she said not to cry, she suddenly felt her nose was sore and took a deep breath to calm down her emotions.

Perhaps because his nerves were stretched to the extreme, or perhaps because the pressure was released after the battle, Ain went from crying loudly to sobbing, and finally fell asleep in Thea's arms.

"well."

Thea sighed, but picked up Ain, then returned to the cabin and put her on the bed in the room to let her have a good rest.

After covering himself with the quilt, Thea turned around and left, but Ain whispered in his sleep, "Teacher Zefa..."

Teya, who paused for a moment, turned his head slightly and glanced, then turned and walked out of the door.

"Teacher Zefa is awake."

Binzi, who was standing outside the door, said to Teya, who became nervous and walked quickly towards Zefa's room.

Seeing Zefa lying on the bed, Thea suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but Zefa seemed to have recovered.

"Good boy, I finally waited for you to come back."

Although Zefa's arm was injured, Zefa did not show any pain, as if nothing happened.

The coat covered his right arm. Teya sat next to Zefa and said softly: "Teacher Zefa, I'm sorry."

But Zefa hit Teja with his injured right arm that was wrapped in gauze.

"You brat, although my arm is disabled, it is not compromised. I am a black-handed Zefa!"

Seeing Zefa like this, Teya felt even worse, but she still smiled.

This is the teacher Zefa he respects!

But a fierce light flashed in Teya's eyes, and sooner or later this debt would have to be settled.
