Chapter 124

"What about Zephyr, what happened to him?"

After all, they were Marines of the same era and used to be close friends; Tsuru and Garp cared most about Zephyr's life and death.

Sengoku sighed and said:

"Zephyr is dead. Vergo said in the report that Zephyr used the Dyna Stone, causing the volcano to erupt, and the magma destroyed his whole body."

Garp sat on the chair, his face showing endless sadness.

"Zephyr, you stubborn old man..."

Then he glared at Sengoku.

"Sengoku, this is all the sin of the World Government! Why let that Edward Weevil join the Warlords of the Sea!"

Sengoku stood up and said:

"Things have come to this; saying these things has no meaning. Although the World Government is indeed the culprit of this matter, I still have to report the results to them, because we are the Marines!"

Under the leadership of the World Government, what role can individual justice play?

The most Garp could do was to maintain himself and not be a running dog for the Celestial Dragons.

Sengoku went all the way to the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

He came to the Authority Room to meet the Five Elders.

Sengoku didn't salute, obviously his anger at Zephyr's death was still unabated.

"The Neo Marines have been eliminated, and Zephyr is dead; are you satisfied now?"

Sengoku's tone was very cold.

The Five Elders frowned:

"Watch your attitude, Sengoku!"

Sengoku turned and left directly, saying in his mouth:

"I just want to tell the Five Elders that this Zephyr incident has caused great dissatisfaction and shock within the Marines!"

"If you still expect the Marines to deal with the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, you'd better consider it carefully before making decisions in the future!"

The Five Elders looked at Sengoku's back with ugly faces.

One slammed the table: "Too presumptuous!"

Another said: "Might as well remove him as Fleet Admiral and let Akainu take over."

The other three Five Elders disagreed.

"No, Sengoku has great prestige in the Marines; there is no reason to remove him, and Imu-sama won't agree either."

Sengoku was dissatisfied with the Five Elders, and the Five Elders were also dissatisfied with Sengoku.

But in the current situation, they could only tolerate each other.

The Five Elders looked at the victory report on the table, and Vergo's name was printed in their eyes, making them remember it in their hearts.

Marine Headquarters Marineford.

Admiral Aokiji learned from Garp that Teacher Zephyr had died in battle.

He first went to see the Neo Marine prisoners sent by Vergo, and then went to the New World G-5 branch.

He was looking for Smoker.

Smoker was bandaged and was drinking in front of two cenotaphs.

Aokiji patted Smoker on the shoulder, sat down, and glanced at the bandages on the latter.

"Was your injury caused by Vergo?"

Smoker didn't respond, which was considered a default.

Aokiji said: "Don't have conflicts with your superiors anymore; this isn't Loguetown where you were the boss before."

Smoker drank heavily and clenched his fists:

"Vergo, that person is not a good person! The Marines had better investigate his background!"

Aokiji thought Smoker was still holding a grudge against Vergo because of Tashigi's death, so he could only sigh in his heart and said:

"Vergo made a great contribution by annihilating the Neo Marines this time; the Marine Headquarters has promoted his position to Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, concurrently serving as the G-5 branch base commander. Fleet Admiral Sengoku also thinks highly of him."

Hearing this, Smoker drank several liters of wine in one breath and roared angrily:

"Teacher Zephyr's death, Tashigi's death, I won't let him go, that bastard!"

Aokiji looked at the two cenotaphs and said in a deep tone:

"Isn't it very dashing to die for one's own beliefs? Let's see first, Smoker."

The real culprit who made Smoker miserable was leisurely enjoying the moon at this moment.

Looking at the moon, Luo Xing thought of Carrot.

Carrot in her Sulong form was truly unforgettable.

At this time,

a slender figure approached Luo Xing.

"My lord, your wine."

Luo Xing glanced over.

The figure had short blue hair, an exquisite oval face, very white skin, and was wearing denim shorts, showing amazing long legs.

It was none other than Zephyr's student, Ain.

Luo Xing took the wine and said: "Thank you."

The moment he took the wine, Ain actually touched his palm with her finger.

Luo Xing raised his eyebrows, revealing a half-smile in his eyes.

Ain's face changed drastically.

"Impossible, why didn't my Mado Mado no Mi ability have any effect?!"

Luo Xing drank the wine slowly and said:

"Any special type of Devil Fruit ability, if you want it to have an effect, you must exceed your opponent in Haki."

"On this sea, only Haki is above everything else; didn't Zephyr teach you that before?"

Ain's face changed several times.

It turned out that the Haki of the man in front of her was far above hers, which was why her Mado Mado no Mi ability was ineffective.

"Why do you want to do this?" Luo Xing asked lightly, "Aren't you going to inherit Zephyr's legacy?"

Ain was silent for a moment and said:

"I want you to let go of that female Marine named Tashigi."

Luo Xing was surprised by this answer.

It seems that Ain was a Marine after all, so it was inevitable that she would feel sympathy for Tashigi.

Luo Xing stood up and walked to Ain's side.

He stretched out his palm and slid it gently on the girl's cheek.

"I am a person who especially likes to collect; I like flowers, I like birds, I like to lock beautiful things in a room and appreciate them slowly by myself."

Ain's body trembled, and panic appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She wanted to retreat, but found she couldn't.

In front of this man's Haki, she had no power to resist.

Luo Xing's voice was gentle:

"Since you want to see the world of the future for Zephyr, you should be closer to me."

Luo Xing picked up Ain and asked while walking to the room:

"Does your Mado Mado no Mi have any effect on yourself?"

The next day.

Luo Xing walked out of the room refreshed.

Tashigi, who had returned to her twenties, came to Luo Xing angrily.

"You... you bad person, what did you do to Ain-sister?"
