Oran's words silenced Zefa. Zefa didn't like to lie, but he was also a man who attached great importance to principles.
In the original timeline, when his wife and children were killed, he suppressed his grief and anger and did not kill the pirates. Instead, he put them back in prison.
Now someone tells him to his face that he should go against his principles, and no matter how he answers, it feels wrong.
"this"
"It's just a joke. It's just a small favor. I won't make it difficult for you, General Zefa.
Now that you're back, we won't delay your family reunion. Fran, let's go."
After waving goodbye to Zefa's son, Orlan asked Frankenstein to leave the ward.
Looking at the smile on his son's face, Zefa's worries dissipated a little, but he didn't feel much relieved.
He owes this favor a lot, and it seems that it won't be easy to repay it.
"Father, what do you want him to do for you?"
Following behind Orlan, Frankenstein asked with a hint of curiosity.
"I haven't made up my mind yet, and there's no rush. Favors are no different from debts, and Zefa is a person who values principles very much. If I can grasp this level, it will be of great use in the future."
It is not a wise choice to talk about this matter every day and ask for repayment. This will cause disgust and even hatred in the long run. Oran wants to take this opportunity to develop a network of relationships with Zefa.
No matter what, Zefa is now one of the top fighters.
The heart is an extremely important part of this ocean. Once the heart collapses, the body will become out of shape and the strength will drop sharply. Such things will follow.
Today's Zephyr is no longer in a state of extreme mental breakdown, broken arms, and asthma. He is still the admiral of the navy who can confront Roger and Whitebeard head-on.
"I'm really curious whether Zefa knows more."
There were many more patrolling navy officers on the streets at this time. Because of this incident, the navy's vigilance towards Marinford increased a lot. Oran, a stranger, had his pass checked twice on this road.
"Father, you mean..."
"Nothing much, just a guess."
Thanks to Oda's peculiar thinking, the incident in Kamisama Valley caused the logic of many things to become weird.
With Zefa's character of not killing, he would definitely not agree with events like the Valley of the Gods.
The actions of the Celestial Dragons are escorted by the navy, and it is impossible for them to massacre the escort fleet every time. So it is very strange that no word of this matter has been revealed for so many years.
Perhaps the soldiers thought they were merely carrying out an ordinary escort mission, or perhaps they thought this kind of thing was normal and not worth mentioning at all, or perhaps there was a trusted fleet directly under the World Government that was specifically responsible for this matter.
There are still doubts about the soldiers, but what is certain is that every Marine Admiral is aware of this. The reason why Spacetime hesitated and asked Garp to go for support when the incident happened shows it all.
After all, the World Government would never allow someone who is not loyal enough to ascend to the position of Navy Admiral.
But this is not necessarily the case for high-ranking generals.
Although there is no doubt that Garp's actions after arriving in the Valley of the Gods were to join forces with Roger to defeat Rocks, before that, he did not know why the Celestial Dragons gathered on that remote island in the West Sea.
He even asked about the school trip, but Sora ended up getting rid of it by using Roger's appearance as an excuse.
The Celestial Dragons' entourage included a member of the Knights of God and the Five Elders, and they had enough high-end combat power. It was not surprising that they did not inform other senior generals about this matter.
There is no reason for superiors to report to their subordinates.
After all, Marinford is a military port town, not a place for travel, and there are many restricted areas. When Oran returned to his residence, Zack emerged from his hands again, but this time Zack's body was shaking all the time.
The fusion of the natural body structure allows Zach to adjust his size at will. Theoretically, before Zach's cell energy is exhausted, he can use mercury to make himself infinitely large.
But this does not change his body structure. At this time, Zack is obviously missing a part of his body, and that part of his body is now left in the hospital.
Zack wasn't trembling at this moment, but was sending Morse code through long and short symbols. He hadn't learned how to use body tissues to imitate vocal organs, and using his body to form characters was too complicated, so this binary code became a special way of communication.
At the same time, most of the patients in the hospital had fallen into a deep sleep, and outside the ward, in addition to Zefa, the general who was on night watch, the current Marshal Kong also came here.
"Zefa."
"Marshal Kong, I'm sorry to ask you to come all the way here. I can't get away right now."
"It's okay. I understand how you feel. The long period of peace at this headquarters has made people too relaxed, which ultimately led to this accident. As the Marshal, I cannot be blamed for my role."
"Accident. Marshal Kong, is this really an accident?"
Zefa's expression was a little complicated, and then he started talking to himself.
"I was born on a naval island, and the navy training every day made me yearn for it when I was young.
At the age of 14, I joined the Naval Academy. From then on, the game of playing the hero ended and the efforts to become a hero began.
When I graduated at the age of 18, I was serving in the G5 branch. Sengoku, Tsuru, Garp and others all joined around this time.
My military rank was not promoted quickly, but when I was promoted to junior non-commissioned officer at the age of 28, I had already mastered the Six Styles. At the age of 34, I was nicknamed Black Arm. Haki is a good thing. It allows me to better protect my subordinates.
He was promoted to general four years ago.
Marshal Kong, are you still sure this was just an accident?"
Zefa has many scars on his body. From a recruit to a general, he has always led by example. These scars are the medals of military honor he left in order to practice his ideals.
"I'm sorry, but it really was an accident."
This could only be an accident, and it had to be an accident. Kong gave Zefa the answer without much thought.
Among the three known marshals, Sora, Sengoku, and Akainu, Sora is undoubtedly the most loyal to the World Government. After Sengoku inherited his position, Sora directly became the commander-in-chief of the World Government's entire army, in charge of all the violent agencies of the World Government.
"I see. I understand. I'm so sorry to bother you so late, Marshal Sora."
Zefa closed his eyes and leaned against the wall behind him, looking like he didn't intend to say anything more. After that, Zack also stopped transmitting the code, and his remaining body slid into the inconspicuous crack in the ground like a drop of water.
"Father, he doesn't seem to have gotten the answer he wanted?"
"The answer is no longer important to him. No matter what the truth is, once suspicion arises, the charges will appear. It all depends on how long he can hold on. Rest, Fran. It's late."
After noting this, Frankenstein found a spot close to an outlet. The Marine Headquarters also had electricity, which was good news for her. She then inserted her finger into it and began her own electricity storage behavior.
