Pirates of the First Empire

"Little Crane, how about it?"

"There are many masters around. If the newspapers did not exaggerate, he may be the strongest himself. However, even Karp can't see his depth."

The conversation was exactly the conversation between Lieutenant General He and Sengoku who had returned to the office.

"Okay, I will report the details to Marshal Kong. The marshal's life is not easy recently, and the higher-ups have no plans for him to retire at all."

"Oh, it's an eventful time, it seems that this matter can only be shelved for now."

"By the way, Xiaohe, regarding the matter of inviting Jinpei, the sea hero of Murloc Island, to become the king of Shichibukai, the higher-ups have sent the invitation letter. Who is more suitable to do this in the headquarters now."

As Warring States spoke, he pulled out a delicately wrapped envelope and a document from a pile of documents on his desk.

"Now? Those who go must at least have the strength of a vice-admiral. The three of Kuzan and the others are not in the headquarters. Otherwise, let Xiao Gion go."

"Gion? Yes, although he is still a major general, there is no problem in terms of strength."

Gion and Tsuruichi sisters are commensurate, but in fact there is a big difference in age. Kuzan is 38 years old this year, and Gion is ten years younger than Kuzan.

At this time, Gion was still under Crane's command and served as an adjutant. Although his military rank was only major general, his strength was comparable to that of an ordinary lieutenant general.

……

"Hahaha, okay, okay, the old man was just joking, why are you serious now?"

Karp made a haha, quickly changed the topic, scratched his head and said.

"Let's go, if I remember correctly, Senior Figo should live here."

Doyle didn't care, just smiled and followed Garp's pace, and the others followed closely.

Along the way, not only the sailors who knew Garp would stop and say hello respectfully, even the family members of the navy in those small towns welcomed Garp very much.

The navy family town, on the surface, seems to be no different from an ordinary small fishing village, but it can be called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Many uncles and aunts are ruthless people who have had a bloody life experience.

In the past, those retired old naval officers usually returned to their hometowns to provide for the elderly. In family towns, most of the family members of active duty officers lived.

All the seemingly unreasonable arrangements must have hidden an unbearable past.

Since 20 years ago, Admiral Zefa's family was killed by pirates who deliberately sneaked in in the family town of the Navy headquarters.

Since then, most of the retired naval officers and even personnel from other departments of the world government will choose to stay in the family town of Marlin Vanduo for the elderly.

The purpose is to protect the rear of the navy soldiers so that they can fight for justice without any worries.

As he walked, Garp told Doyle and others about the customs of the town and the various stories that had happened.

"Compared to me and Sengoku who came from all over the world, Zefa grew up here since he was a child. His grandfather and father have dedicated their lives to the navy."

Speaking of the family town of the navy, Zefa, the "black wrist" who has gradually become a legend, is one of the characters who can't be spared no matter what.

"Of course we know the reputation of General Zefa, but..."

For a legendary figure like Zefa, he is still well-known in this world. At least Doyle and his group know a little about his story.

However, this time it was Victor who was the great pirate who spoke this time, and Victor's mood seemed to be a little different.

Both Doyle and Garp stopped, and both were curious about what they would think from the pirate's point of view.

"Admiral Zefa is famous for "don't kill", but he can't guarantee that all the pirates will be imprisoned in the city of advancement, but this is impossible, there will always be pirates who will escape..."

"Then, isn't it doomed from the very beginning to be plotted by the pirates to take revenge? He Zefa is powerful, and the pirates can't do anything about him.

But who are the pirates?Since they can't take revenge on Zefa, they will naturally attack everything around him. This is predictable, right? "

"So, the admiral of the admiral was overwhelmed by the incident of revenge, and has since retreated to the second line. This..."

Victor didn't know why, but felt that the more he talked, the more angry he became.He said all this because he thought of his past, every night he couldn't sleep for revenge.

After Victor was annihilated by Sakalski's army in the pirate group, his only reason to live was revenge, so he planned the great battle in the South China Sea.

In the end, that battle made him figure it out. On his own, he would not be able to reach the level of those monsters in this life, but even if he was desperate...

The reason why he finally persuaded himself to surrender is still because of Doyle's goal. To achieve that goal, he will definitely confront the navy in the future.

Therefore, he couldn't understand why, why the dignified admiral would lose his long-standing belief because of a preordained event.

……

At this time, a kind old man with a stooped waist and about the same height as Karp came to meet him, followed by a strong man with purple hair who was also tall.

Hearing Victor's exclamation, the purple-haired man spoke, his voice was very low and hoarse.

"exactly!"

"The old man is a coward, that's right!"

The invisible oppressive force on the purple-haired man was also being released, but the aura of his body was heading towards a trough.

"Zefa, you..."

When Garp heard the hoarse and low voice, he knew it was the Zefa himself they were discussing.

"All right!"

At a critical moment, the old man behind Zefa interrupted this meaningless conversation. He walked forward, dropped the crutch in his hand, opened his arms, and said kindly to the three of Doyle:

"Good grandchildren, long time no see!"

"Grandpa!" x3

The three of Doyle hurried forward and hugged the old man. The old man who was walking with Zefa was none other than the grandfather of the three of Doyle, Figo.

Because Kars' father was long gone before they were born, so although he called Figo Grandpa in normal communication, he still called him Grandpa when they actually met.

"Hey! The grandchildren of this old man have grown up so much!"

Figo showed a kind smile, that old face with wrinkles and scars mixed together, but at this moment, there was no fierceness, but only infinite pampering.

However, the scene was a bit embarrassing at this time. After being interrupted, Zefa and Victor also stood back behind Doyle and Figo, while the others had no intention of speaking.

"Um, Senior Figo, why did you come out?"

The scene of grandparents hugging, Garp also thought of his grandson Luffy, shook his head quickly, and said casually.

"Kap kid? Can you speak!"

"The old man is taking care of the elderly, not going to jail! Can't you go out for a walk?"
