At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

After bandaging the wound simply, Zefa looked deep in the direction of Mary Geoise, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Teacher..."

"Set sail and return to the Navy Headquarters."

Under the worried eyes of several surviving students, the wounded navy warship set sail again and headed for the Navy Headquarters, Marinford.

Half a month later, the news that the former Navy Admiral Zefa was attacked and only two students were left in the actual combat assessment of the Navy Training Camp spread in the Navy Headquarters.

At this time, in the Marshal's office, Zhan Guo's face was gloomy, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Suddenly, an unknown pirate who could defeat the former Navy Admiral appeared, and it was hard for him, the Navy Marshal, not to think in a slightly crooked way.

"Who is secretly framing us? The World Government? CP0? Or real pirates..."

"Report to Marshal Sengoku, General Zephyr is here!"

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The deputy turned and left. A moment later, when Zephyr stepped into the office, Sengoku's pupils were shocked.

"Your arm was..."

"The pirate chopped it off with the same big naginata as Whitebeard. He is really a young opponent. He gives me the same feeling as Whitebeard when he was young, except for his intelligence."

Hearing this, Sengoku felt relieved. He was really afraid that the most incredible one among his many guesses would become a reality.

"What are you going to do now? You have lost an arm, and the reputation of Black Arm Zephyr is..."

"What kind of reputation is there? He is just an old man who has been eliminated by the tide of the times. After all, he is in his twilight years."

At this moment, Sengoku felt a little emotional. This is probably the so-called hero's twilight years. I don't know if he can maintain this state before he retires.

"Regarding your arm, I have contacted the Navy Science Class. They can develop the latest seastone weapon for you, which can maximize your current combat power."

After hearing the news, Zefa lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion on his weathered face.

"Do you have any other clues about the pirate who hurt you?"

"Weibull, the last name is not clear, but the name is Weibull... Speaking of which, some of that guy's characteristics are really similar to Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, especially the white beard of the waxing moon."

For a moment, Zhan Guo laughed and thought Zefa was joking.

"How is this possible? If Whitebeard had married and had children, then the current Whitebeard Pirates would not exist at all, and I could retire early without worry."

Anyone who has heard of the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates on the sea knows that everyone under Whitebeard calls him "Dad", and they don't even know if he has a wife or children.

"I hope so. I remember the last time we talked, we parted unhappily after a dispute over the concept of justice."

"Now it seems that this topic is still too naive... It's okay, I'll go first and see the students who survived by chance."

Seeing that Zefa's attitude at this time has changed from his previous attitude, Zhan Guo's deep uneasiness has intensified.

"Wait, Zefa, is there really no other hidden secret about this attack?"

"Hidden secret? Are you saying that I lied to you? Zhan Guo, what do you think is a lie and what is the truth?"

"Sometimes, even your own eyes can deceive yourself. When it comes to justice, everyone sees it from a different perspective, and naturally has a different understanding of justice from others..."

After the voice fell, Zefa's back disappeared in the office. Zhan Guo's eyes were deep, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Half a month later, Punk Hazard, Naval Science Class

"This is the weapon developed by Dr. Vegapunk and Dr. Caesar Kulang, the Iron Arm Crusher."

"Not only is it equipped with seastone bullets, but the huge crusher can also repel the giant vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters with one blow. It is extremely powerful..."

"However, there are some minor flaws. While ensuring the power, it is inevitable that the speed is slightly lacking. We have considered adding auxiliary equipment, but it will cause further weight..."

"No, it's good like this, it's good like this."

Rejecting the introduction of the accompanying scientists, Zefa nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fell on the weapon in front of him that was enough to give him a new life, and a seed of doubt was quietly planted in his heart, waiting to sprout.

…………………………

At the same time, on the huge ship far away at the edge of the New World.

Huayue, who was in a deep sleep, frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of fish white appeared in the distant sky, breaking through the endless darkness.

"It's dawn, Your Majesty, yourThe dream is full of uneasiness..."

"Ah, turn the rudder and look in the direction that brings uneasiness. You can always sense where this uneasiness comes from..."

The emerald hair brushed across the naked chest. When the room was empty, the direction of the warship turned and sailed towards an unknown direction.

Putting on a robe, he arrived alone in the depths of the ship, in a room blocked by black strips.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sweat accumulated into deep puddles. Kuina was wearing a training suit and looked exhausted.

"After seven days and seven nights of fighting, you have reached the limit of what you can achieve. Follow me..."

"No, I will never stop here. I can become stronger and stronger! I want to stand at the top of the world's swordsmen and become the strongest swordsman. Who would stop here! "

Drenched in sweat, Kuina had long lost the feeling of muscle nerves. She had persisted until now with her willpower. She flatly refused, but noticed a smile reflected in her blurred eyes.

"What do you think the battle of swordsmen in this world is?"

"What do you mean, strength, speed, reaction ability, fighting skills, domineering... This is all the swordsman's battle..."

"No, this is the foundation of fighting, not the instinct of fighting, nor the determination of your sword. Follow me, the only person who can make you recognize yourself is you."

The space was surging, and Kuina had not yet recovered, and suddenly fell into the almost piercing milky white spring water.

"Where is this?"

"Come out after taking a shower, go to the sword in front and choose the one that suits you best, listen to the voice in your heart, and the choice you make will accompany you throughout your life. "

During the conversation, Kuina felt her fatigue swept away. She was silent for a long time. After her physical strength was restored to its peak state, she stood up and stepped into the dense swords unswervingly.

"Choose, feel your own domineering, understand your heart, say the name of your heart, contain your domineering and soul in it, and forge your own black knife. "
