Zefa is very upset now. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a bad thing when he was leading the navy to perform a mission as usual.
Just now, someone told him that his family was attacked by pirates who wanted to take revenge on him.
Zefa got married relatively late, marrying his wife when he was promoted to general four years ago.
Although the Great Pirate Era has not yet begun, the chaos on the sea has already arrived. Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and other monsters have begun to move around in various seas.
Even Garp, a street-slicker, was repeatedly hunting down Roger.
As an active admiral, Zefa naturally has no time to rest. Even during a short vacation, he has to be ready to respond to emergency actions at any time. In order to see his family more often, he had already brought them to Marinford.
This place has existed as the headquarters of the Navy for who knows how many years, and the surrounding family quarters have been built long ago. However, in this iron-clad environment, such a dark thing actually happened.
"What are you dawdling about? Why are you still so slow?!"
"Reporting to General Zefa, we are already advancing at full speed. The wind direction is not suitable today. We have tried our best."
"Shut up! It's not fast enough, it can be faster. Keep speeding up!"
"Yes, yes!"
The furious Zephyr made the soldiers behind him feel unfamiliar, super reliable, kind and gentle. This was the most intuitive feeling Zephyr brought to his soldiers. This was the first time he was so angry in the four years since he became the general.
"No. It's still not fast enough. Give me the permanent pointer of the headquarters!"
Even though the soldiers tried their best to speed up, Zefa was still not satisfied with the current situation. After asking the adjutant for a spare permanent pointer, Zefa stood directly on the turret at the bow of the ship.
"You return as planned."
"General Zephyr! It's still two days' journey from here to our headquarters! You..."
Bang!
The adjutant saw what Zefa wanted to do, but before he could finish his words, Zefa had already jumped into the air. The air was filled with explosive sounds as Zefa stepped on it. Using the Moon Step, one of the six styles, Zefa rushed towards the headquarters alone.
"What kind of hero is this if a hero of justice can't even protect his family, the people he should be protecting the most?"
Zefa's firm belief fluctuated for the first time at this moment, and his movement speed was a bit faster than before. It would take two days and two nights for a warship to travel at full speed, but he only took a quarter of the time to complete the journey.
boom!
In the square of Marinford, accompanied by a loud bang, two large pits were trampled out in the bricks and stones on the ground, and Zefa also walked out with smoke and dust.
"Where are they?"
"General Zefa."
"Let me ask you again, where are my family members now?"
"Zefa, calm down. They are fine. They were just a little frightened. They are recuperating in the hospital now."
He rushed over from the side and guessed the general situation from the fact that Zefa hung up the phone in a hurry when he informed Zefa what happened. When Zefa chose to travel alone, his adjutant also reported the information to the headquarters.
So He had been waiting for Zefa here for a long time. As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa disappeared again. It was obvious that he must have gone to the hospital.
Only after seeing with his own eyes that his family was fine did Zefa finally let go of his worries.
"How are they doing?"
"The lady has some burns and scrapes on her body, and Yeklik has some bruises on his abdomen. It's not a big deal, don't worry, General Zefa."
"Don't worry. How can I be at ease after something like this? Who are those two people? Why are they here?"
Zefa was still watching the situation inside through the window. He needed to calm down and couldn't just go in like that, but in the intensive care unit, he saw two people with pink hair.
"It was Dr. Sidiliel and his daughter. We invited them to provide guidance on prosthetics. They saved your wife and son. If it weren't for them, the situation could have been much worse."
The military doctor on the side told Zefa what had happened before.
It also explains why Orlan and Frankenstein remain here.
Even though Yeklik shouted that he wanted to become a hero like Zefa, he was just a child now. What happened before caused him a great shock, and he developed a sense of dependence on the savior at that time.
But Zefa frowned.
This had never happened in Marinford before, so he could accept the temporary slackness in defense.
He could accept that many people gathered in the square because of the celebration, but when these things came together, it was too much of a coincidence.
"What a coincidence."
"General Zefa, what did you say?"
The doctor didn't listen to Qingzefa's mumbling, put away the medical record and asked again.
"It's nothing. Go take care of the other wounded. Since they are fine, you don't have to focus your energy here all the time."
After adjusting his mood, Zefa gently pushed open the door of the ward.
"Are all people with special abilities so magical?"
"The abilities of the sea are varied and bizarre, from releasing fire and thunder to creating storms and earthquakes. There are many people with such abilities, and many of them can produce unexpected effects."
"That's awesome! I want to be a person with special abilities too."
This was the first voice Zephyr heard, and he discovered that his son had a yearning for the power of the devil fruit at this moment.
This is also a very normal thing. A child over three years old is at the stage of forming values. At this time, when he sees the "capable person" saving him, he instinctively feels envious.
With Zephyr's ability, it is not difficult to get a devil fruit, but he pays more attention to physical development, so he did not let Yekrik come into contact with the devil fruit too early.
He is just a three-year-old child. No matter how much training he does, he won't get much stronger. Leliana's case is an exception. There are not many people with such talent in the entire ocean.
As he marveled at Orlan's storytelling abilities, Jeklik's tone suddenly grew excited.
"My dad's back! He's an admiral in the navy, a super powerful guy. If my dad had been home before, those pirates wouldn't have stood a chance."
Yeklik noticed Zefa standing aside and enthusiastically introduced Zefa's identity to Oran.
Listening to his son's description of himself, Zefa felt a bitterness in his heart. He was almost going to lose all of this.
Forcing a smile onto his face, Zefa bowed to Orlan.
"I've heard about it. Thank you for saving my family. I owe you a favor."
Then Zefa stood up and continued:
"I won't forget this. If you have any requests in the future, just let me know. I will do my best within my ability."
However, Oran's reply interrupted Zefa's thoughts. Oran did not seem to be very excited about the admiral's favor, but asked another question calmly.
"What if this matter is within your ability, but violates your principles?"
