He wore sunglasses, so people couldn't see his eyes, but his terrifying murderous aura made many people who knew Zephyr feel like strangers!
“That’s right!” Luffy tried to break free from his seastone arm, but he couldn’t. The weakness of a Devil Fruit user was too obvious!
"What's your name?" Zephyr couldn't help but ask when he saw Luffy's unrepentant attitude.
Zefa has been out of the spotlight for many years and doesn't pay much attention to things at sea!
Because his disappointment with the Navy wasn't something that had lasted just a year or two!
"Monkey D. Luffy!!"
"So you're Garp's grandson!" Although I've never seen Luffy's face, I've heard of this man who was active in the Marineford War!
Zephyr then threw Luffy out, before reuniting with Ain, Binz, and the others who had come to meet him.
Franky and the others were caught off guard and were trapped by Binz's Lush Fruit, which controlled the plants!
"Let's sink them, ship and all, with our warships!" Zephyr said, looking at the Straw Hat Boy he had thrown onto the ship.
[Apoko #2: Holy crap!!! It happened again!! The Straw Hat Luffy's connections really kicked in! He was practically in his grasp, ready to crush Luffy with just a little force! But then he heard Garp's name and threw him out!! Seriously, Garp's connections are way too strong! Even someone who defected from the Marines gives him face?]
[Kid #2: Although the order was to attack the ships and people, it was clearly giving them a chance to live! Sure enough, under the barrage of fire, although the ships were severely damaged, that freakish robot somehow managed to escape using some kind of blasting wind!]
[Capone Bege #2: I think Garp is the real "Face Fruit" user. Shanks is way inferior to him!!]
[Vice Admiral #2: After all, they saved Professor Zeff, so it's only natural that Professor Zeff would give them another chance!]
[Golden Lion #2: How did Zephyr betray us? He didn't join Kizaru, nor did he become a pirate; instead, he founded a new Marine! Sengoku, is your Marines even any good? Almost all the strong members have left!]
[Whitebeard #2: Decades have passed. The once infamous Admiral who never killed anyone, now harbors such deep hatred for pirates? Even his savior, if they're pirates, he won't hesitate to attack!]
Whitebeard was also deeply moved! It seems being a Marine isn't easy!
The video describes Zephyr from multiple angles.
Everyone now knew Zephyr's reasons for betraying them, and what he intended to do!
[Jack #2: Hey, seriously? There are three so-called End Island islands in the New World, and beneath them are three lava lakes. If all three are destroyed together, the ley lines will start to move, causing a massive eruption of fire and lava across the entire New World's oceans, destroying the entire New World!?]
[Marco #2: Wasn't this just a rumor? I can't believe it's true!!]
[Katakuri #2: This Marine has gone mad!! By doing this, not only will the pirates face annihilation, but the ordinary people and nations of the entire sea will also be completely destroyed!]
[Caesar #2: The Power Rock is indeed in your hands! Its explosive power is almost comparable to that of an ancient weapon!]
[Auntie No. 1 & No. 2: The world government really knows a lot.]
[Kaido #2: There's nothing strange about it. After all, they are the rulers of the world. They can basically get their hands on any good things in the world as soon as possible!]
[Number 1 & 2 Sengoku: Zephyr...]
Even the Sengoku period of World 1 was starting to panic.
Although everyone knew that the two worlds were very different, Zephyr's incident still served as a wake-up call for everyone.
[Rocks #2: Hahaha! You Marines are really something, recruiting the pirate who killed so many Marine cadets and cut off Zephyr's arm as a Shichibukai?! Isn't this forcing Zephyr to rebel?!]
[Rocks #1: It would be a disservice to the Five Elders not to rebel against this. It's probably because Zephyr has been dormant for too long, and the World Government doesn't value him much anymore. Even though he's trained so many Marines over the years, from the World Government's perspective, it's probably just a minor achievement!]
[Venus #2: If the situation on the high seas were stable, why would we need the Seven Warlords of the Sea?! The real source of trouble is you pirates!!]
The Five Elders immediately shifted the blame onto the pirates.
At the same time, I was also thinking about whether or not to include the pirate who killed Zephyr's student and cut off Zephyr's arm in the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
But the fact that he was able to cut off Zephyr's arm shows that he is very powerful!
That's enough to intimidate most pirates!!
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are changing frequently these days, so if we don't choose a stronger one!
If this continues, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system will become a mere formality!
"Let's decide based on the situation. If we really have to do that, we need to deal with Zefa first. Also, from now on, we need to strengthen the guarding of the Power Rock. It's our powerful weapon and the source of firepower for our ancient weapons. We can no longer completely trust Zefa to keep it alone!" After thinking it over, Venus made the arrangements.
"Understood, have someone do it immediately!"
[Garp #2: Zeff, has your anger reached the point where you want to burn everything to ashes? Is it really that unforgivable that you can't forgive us...?]
My former partners have now embarked on completely different paths from them!
Sengoku Garp's heart was filled with incredibly complex emotions!
They all knew what Zephyr had been through all these years!
Zephyr aspired to be a hero and became one, earning the reputation of not killing generals!
In his youth, he was full of vigor and made great strides, rising from a private to a naval admiral! It was a growth story that inspires awe and admiration.
However, during his prime, his wife and children were killed by pirates in retaliation, which disheartened him, and he left the front lines of the navy to become a naval instructor.
Seven years ago, when Zephyr was 65 years old, his naval training ship was attacked by pirates!
Only Ian and Binz survived, and he lost an arm as a result!
From Zephyr, who was kind to everyone, even pirates, to Zephyr who now hates pirates more than anyone else!
His life was filled with too much sadness and pain!
He dedicated his life to the navy, but those above him never seemed to truly consider his feelings or position!
In the video, a year later, that pirate even became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
This is something that would be hard for anyone to bear!
Even so, they want to destroy the entire new world! They disregard the lives of ordinary people!
This is a completely different person from the original Zephyr!
Even though he was weak in the beginning, he would still step forward to protect ordinary people!
But now, he's willing to risk harming ordinary people in order to eliminate pirates!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's... insane!
He has lost his original aspirations for justice and dreams!
But what drove him mad was the pirates, the navy... or perhaps the era itself!
However, no one could get a definite answer, or perhaps they had both!
The marines of Worlds 1 and 2, watching Zephyr in the video, felt no anger whatsoever!
All that remains is profound sadness!
This is their teacher, the man who once taught them to become righteous and outstanding naval officers!
But in the end, he embarked on this path of no return.
In fact, Zephyr's life also influenced the entire naval leadership, with many high-ranking officers choosing not to marry.
He is also related to Zephyr; his deeds serve as a warning to all marines!
Even if you've settled down and started a family, you might still face pirate retaliation if the pirates don't fight back!
[Jin #2: With Aokiji's help, the Straw Hat Pirates have found Zephyr's new Marines, and a new battle has begun!!]
……
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
The two exchanged blows, each punch landing with a satisfying force!
With overwhelming power and force, shockwaves raged across this final island covered in dynamic rocks!
This is the third island of the End! And here, "End" signifies the end!
The sounds of collisions and explosions on the island were continuous!
Zephyr possesses exceptional physical skills, and his enormous arms are like a real crusher!
It can fire light projectiles that explode in a terrifying blast upon hitting an enemy!
Luffy, in Gear Second mode, unleashed his full power, covering his body with Haki!
It's not that Luffy didn't want to use Gear Third and Gear Fourth! It's just that Luffy realized he couldn't defeat such a formidable opponent in a short time if he used them!
In a one-on-one fight, he would actually lose!
Moreover... Luffy enjoys this kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat with strong opponents!
Luffy had already learned what kind of person Zephyr was from the previous repairs of the Sunny at the port and the battle!
Luffy wants to fight, not kill!! It stems from his respect for his opponent!!
Zefa felt the same way; he hadn't seen someone so steadfast in their ideals for far too long!
Although he was a pirate, this reminded Zephyr of his past self! He too was fearless in the face of death, relentlessly pursuing his dreams!
My dream still exists, but after walking so many roads, it has long been covered in dust!
The battle with the Straw Hat Pirates, and that unwavering will, gradually wiped away the dust!
"Straw Hat Boy!! I will never allow pirates to have any dreams!"
"I don't care about any of that, I'm going to be the Pirate King!!!"
"Then let me see your resolve. This level of strength alone is not enough!!!"
