Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

"I will."

Seeing Kuzan lowering his head to him just like Sakaski before, Rosen nodded slightly and agreed to the other party's request.

The moment he razed the Honeycomb Island to the ground, he already knew that the new world ahead would no longer be as peaceful as before.

With the death of Wang Zhi, one of the Four Emperors was removed from the list, and the balance among the three major forces that the Five Elders had tried their best to build had been completely destroyed.

The Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even all major forces will take action.

In other words, the difficulty of him single-handedly defeating a group of the Four Emperors will increase steadily, and it will no longer be as easy as removing Wang Zhi from the Four Emperors.

After all, the Four Emperors are not stupid.

If you are stupid, you can't be one of the Four Emperors.

Even if BIG MOM seems to become stupid in the future, it is only after she became one of the Four Emperors. After a long time, she could not see the possibility of defeating the other Four Emperors, nor could she see a way forward, so she chose to indulge in pleasure.

Seeing Rosen agreed immediately, Kuzan didn't say anything more.

I am not the protagonist today.

If it wasn't related to the matter of the Admiral of the Navy, the justice he upholds, and the future direction of the Navy Headquarters, he would not have discussed these things with Rosen at this time.

After completely conquering the last of the three admirals of the Navy after Sakaski, Rosen patted Kuzan on the shoulder, then passed by him and walked towards a man in the crowd in front who had never taken his eyes off him since he returned to the Navy Headquarters.

"Have you aged so much?"

"It shouldn't be!"

"Something must be wrong."

The moment Rosen's eyes fell on Zefa, he discovered that his teacher had aged visibly compared to seven months ago when he left the Marine Headquarters.

Before, the black wrist guard who accompanied him during his internship in Impel Prison still had the demeanor of a middle-aged strong man, but now he looked obviously old.

Originally, he didn't want to read Zefa's memory, but knowing the other party's character, he would never say it even if he asked, so he directly activated the Observation Haki.

"Medical report."

"The injury worsened rapidly."

“It’s gotten to the point where I need to take medication regularly.”

A large number of memories flashed through Rosen's mind like a short movie.

In an instant, he knew why Zefa had aged so much in just seven months.

It turned out that the pain had worsened.

Simultaneously.

He also understood why Zefa would have one arm chopped off by Edward Weeble in the near future.

It has already deteriorated to this point. In a few years, after being retired for many years and not taking any action for many years, coupled with the inability to perform high-intensity exercise, the pain will worsen.

The former black-armed warrior had fallen to the point of having one of his arms cut off by the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Fortunately."

“There’s still time for everything.”

After knowing everything, Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He at this moment is no longer the same person who left the Navy Headquarters seven months ago.

At that time, I only had a handful of meat dregs in my hand, which could not cure Zefa's old illness at all. In addition, Zefa's body was still healthy at the time and he did not need to take medicine, so I postponed it for the time being.

Not so now.

Just a Guanyin modified with Red Princess can restore Zefa to his original state.

"Rosen."

Zefa looked at Rosen, who was wearing a coat of justice and walking towards him like a pillar of the navy, and his eyes became dazed.

The young navy boy who graduated early has become the king who can lead the navy to ride the wind and waves in the cruel world of pirates.

He was no longer the student in Impel Prison who needed to be escorted by himself and Borsalino.

Just came back from a trip to Beihai.

Rosen had shed all his childishness, as if he had been transformed from a new king who had just ascended the throne into a tyrant dominating the world.

Even if he didn't deliberately use the Domineering Haki, there was still an alluring domineering aura lingering around him all the time.

Once you get close rashly, you will feel difficulty breathing, your heartbeat speeds up, and your body will feel like it is carrying a mountain.

Looking at the students in front of me who are familiar yet unfamiliar.

In a trance, Zefa seemed to see two long-lost figures.

Locks D. Gibek.

GOL D. ROGER.

He felt in Rosen the spirit that only the King of the World and the Pirate King possessed, even stronger.

"Teacher Zefa."

"I am back."

In front of Zefa, Rosen no longer had the stunning domineering spirit of stepping on the beehive and beheading Wang Zhi alone. He was no longer the navy overlord who could defeat the three admirals.

Now, he is just a student, an ordinary student who comes to visit his teacher and wish his teacher a happy birthday.

"Just come back!"

"Just come back!"

"Just come back!"

Zefa reached out and grabbed Rosen's shoulders, his five fingers exerting great force, and he kept repeating the same words over and over again.

prior to.

He watched Rosen's battle on Beehive Island through the live video broadcast, and this was the only thought in his mind.

Just come back.

No matter winning or losing, no matter success or failure, as long as my student can come back safely, that's enough.

"I am back."

Seeing Zefa repeating the same sentence over and over again, Rosen told him in an affirmative tone that he was back.

Very peaceful.

He killed four queens and returned unscathed.

"it is good!"

Zephyr grinned and nodded continuously.

"besides."

"This is the gift I brought you."

Rosen handed the frozen head of Wang Zhi in his hand to Zefa.

Before the time travel, giving a head as a gift at an elder's birthday party was absolutely extremely rude and offensive.

But in the world of pirates, especially for Zephyr, this head represents the end of hatred, represents the relief of the second half of life, and also represents a student's respect and love for the teacher.

No disrespect.

No offense.

Nothing unlucky.

There was only a strong shock, and a kind of emotion and relief that is difficult to describe in words.

"Wang Zhi."

Looking at the head of Wang Zhi handed over by Rosen, Zefa's eyes were very complicated.

It was the owner of this head who destroyed his life.

As a general, he retired early at the peak of his career.

As a husband, he knew nothing when his wife was murdered.

As a father, he was powerless when his son was killed.

All of this can be blamed on Wang Zhi.

It can be said that Wang Zhi destroyed everything of Zefa.

From a general, to a husband, to a father, every aspect of him was destroyed.

But now.

All of this was ended by Rosen.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Zephyr."

Rosen personally placed Wang Zhi's head in Zefa's hands.

It was just a light sentence, but it seemed to carry a huge weight, pressing on the hearts of every witness around him, as well as on Zefa's body and mind.

"it is good!"

“You are really nice!”

"This is the best, most satisfying, and favorite birthday gift I have ever received in all these years."

Even though he is over fifty years old, has experienced countless storms and witnessed the changes of the times, but at this moment, Zefa was still moved, and tears emerged uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

In full view.

In front of my old friends and my students.

He finally couldn't help it.

Old tears.

Not because of sadness, but because of happiness, excitement and pride.
