Chapter 406: A bit like Whitebeard, except for his IQ
At night, the moon and stars are rare.
After simply bandaging the wound, Zefa looked far away in the direction of Mary Geoise with a deep gaze. No one knew what he was thinking.
"teacher……"
"Set sail and return to the Navy Headquarters."
Under the worried gazes of several surviving students, the battered naval battleship set sail again and headed towards the naval headquarters, Marinford.
Half a month later, news spread throughout the Navy Headquarters that the former Navy Admiral Zefa had been attacked and that only two trainees were left in the Navy Training Camp's combat assessment.
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 appeared who was able to defeat the former admiral of the navy. It was hard for the navy marshal not to think in a slightly crooked way.
"Who is behind this? The World Government? CP0? Or real pirates..."
"Report to Marshal Sengoku, General Zefa is here!"
"Let him in."
"Yes."
The deputy turned and left. A moment later, when Zefa walked into the office, Zhan Guo's pupils trembled.
"Your arm was..."
"The pirate cut him with the same large naginata as Whitebeard. What a young opponent. He gives me the same feeling as Whitebeard when he was young, except for his intelligence."
After hearing this, Zhan Guo felt much more at ease. 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 lost an arm, and the reputation of Black Arm Zefa is also..."
"He has no reputation at all. 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, some emotion emerged in Zhan Guo's heart. This was probably the so-called hero's old age. He wondered if he could maintain this state before he retired.
"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 no emotion appeared on his weathered face.
"Do you have any other clues about the pirates who hurt you?"
"Weibull, the last name is not clear, but the first name is Weibull... Come to think of it, some of that guy's features are really similar to Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, especially the crescent-shaped white beard."
For a moment, Sengoku laughed, thinking that Zefa was joking.
"How is this possible? If Whitebeard had married and had children, the current Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't even exist, and I could retire early without any worries."
Anyone who has heard of the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation on the sea knows that all of Whitebeard's subordinates call him "Dad", and they don't even know whether 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... If there is nothing else, I will go first and see the students who survived by chance."
Seeing that Zefa's attitude at this time had changed somewhat from his previous attitude, Sengoku's deep-seated uneasiness became more and more intense.
"Wait, Zefa, there is really no other hidden story 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 you. When it comes to looking at justice, everyone has a different perspective, and naturally has a different understanding of justice..."
After he finished speaking, Zefa's back disappeared in the office. Zhan Guo's eyes were deep, and no one knew 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 Arm Crusher."
"Not only is it equipped with seastone bullets, but the huge crusher can also defeat the giant vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters with one blow. Its power is extremely powerful..."
"However, there are some minor flaws. While the strength is guaranteed, the speed is inevitably a little lacking. We have considered adding auxiliary equipment, but it will cause further weight..."
"No, that's fine. That's fine."
Rejecting the introduction of the accompanying scientist, Zefa nodded with satisfaction. His eyes fell on the weapon in front of him that was enough to give him a new life. He quietly planted a seed of doubt in his heart, waiting for it to sprout.

At the same time, on a huge ship far away at the edge of the New World.
Huayue, who was in a deep sleep, frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes. A hint of white appeared in the distant sky, breaking through the endless darkness.
"It's dawn, Your Majesty. Your dreams are filled with anxiety..."
"Ah, turn the rudder and look in the direction that brings the uneasiness. You can always sense where the uneasiness comes from..."
The emerald hair brushed across the naked chest, and when the room was empty, the battleship changed direction and headed off in an unknown direction.
He put on a robe and arrived alone at the deep end of the ship, where he entered a room blocked by black strips of cloth.
Ding!Ding!Ding!
Drops of sweat accumulated into deep puddles. Kuina was wearing training clothes and looked exhausted.
"After seven days and seven nights of fighting, you have reached your limit. 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?"
Kuina, who was drenched in sweat and had long lost the feeling of her muscles and nerves, and had persisted until now entirely by willpower, flatly refused, but noticed a hint of a smile reflected in those blurry eyes.
"What do you think the swordsmen in this world fight like?"
"What do you mean? Strength, speed, reaction ability, fighting skills, domineering... This is what a swordsman's battle is all about..."
"No, this is the basis of fighting, not the instinct of fighting, nor the determination you have to swing your sword. Follow me, the only person who can make you recognize yourself is yourself."
The space was rippling with waves, and before Kuina could come to her senses, she suddenly fell into the almost icy milky white spring water.
"Where is this place?"
"Come out after taking a shower, go to the swords in front and choose the one that suits you best. Listen to the voice in your heart. The choice you make will accompany you throughout your life."
During the conversation, Kuina felt all the fatigue in her body disappear. She was silent for a long time. Only after her physical strength recovered to its peak state did she stand up and step into the dense swords with unwavering determination.
"Choose now, feel your own dominance, understand your heart, speak the name of your heart, contain your own dominance and soul, and forge your own black sword."
