Chapter 364

He still had no thought of defecting from the Navy, but instead withdrew to the rear, specifically supplying the Navy with elite talent.

From this, one can see.

How utterly loyal Zefa was to the Navy.

Yet at the very moment the World Government issued the Seven Warlords proposal.

Zefa's mindset began to shift.

He gradually began to doubt.

Whether all he had done in the past…

Was it worth it?

Had his past self been upholding the rulers' power—or protecting the peace of this sea?

Zefa had nearly lost his true heart.

Now, even pirates had become legitimate entities.

How absurd was this?

This proposal…

Did it not negate all the life-and-death sacrifices they had made for the Navy?

To fight pirates, they had braved fire and water, giving their lives without hesitation.

And now.

The very pirates they had once treated as mortal enemies had become legally recognized by the World Government, even forming cooperative ties with them.

From then on, the Navy could no longer launch major operations against pirates who joined the Seven Warlords.

Every time he thought of this, Zefa felt nothing but overwhelming rage.

After a long while,

Zefa finally suppressed the torrent of negative emotions within him.

He asked Lu En: "What do you think of this?"

"The times are changing…"

"Since it cannot be changed, one must accept it."

"Do your best."

"Focusing on oneself is what we must consider."

Lu En said after a moment of thought.

"Your attitude is remarkably steady, kid."

Zefa sighed.

Without having lived through the brutality of the old era…

How could one possibly understand?

Just how vicious these pirates truly were!

To make a group of villains into legitimate entities?

Absolutely ridiculous!

"Hmph…"

"The World Government is truly a band of short-sighted fools!"

Zefa sneered.

In response,

Lu En made no further comment.

What did the World Government matter?

He did not care.

They were merely rulers who sought only to preserve their own power.

How could they possibly care about the survival of the people of this sea?

What they cared about…

Was the power in their hands!

Nothing more.

Clearly,

Zefa's ideals clashed with theirs.

What Zefa sought to protect was not their power.

What he sought to protect…

Was the rights of all inhabitants of the sea!

Unfortunately,

His solitary strength was ultimately insignificant.

"Master Zefa, do you know my father?"

Lu En asked.

"Your father?"

Zefa's eyes flickered, his tone strange, "That leader and founder of the Revolutionary Army? The most vicious criminal in the world? Monkey D. Dragon?"

"What does Master Zefa think of my father's ideals?"

Lu En smiled.

"This!"

Master Zefa fell silent.

In the past,

he had felt nothing but contempt and disdain for the Revolutionary Army.

But now.

With the World Government drafting the proposal for the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

He suddenly felt.

That group of Revolutionary Army soldiers, who always hid their heads and showed their tails, didn't actually seem as hateful as before.

"If the future Master Zefa ever feels lost."

"You might as well go find my father and have a talk."

"I believe…"

"When that time comes, you will surely gain something from it."

Lu En suggested.

He was unwilling to see Zefa go astray.

983Zefa was a very qualified Marine.

His whole life, he toiled without complaint…

Working himself to the bone for the Marines.

Even his family had died tragically at the hands of a group of pirates because of the Marines.

Such a Marine, full of a sense of justice, should not have ended in such a hasty and careless manner.

His life should have had another choice!

Therefore.

Lu En, without the slightest hesitation, recommended his own father, Dragon, to Zefa!

A fellow dream-chaser whose ideals were fairly close to Zefa's.

He believed…

If the two of them could truly manage to calm their hearts and talk.

Then.

The two sides would surely have a most pleasant conversation!

Because…

The ideals of the two of them were almost identical!

Their dreams were almost the same!

It's just that,
