Chapter 412 Zefa's Belief
It's not just the Poison-Poison Fruit. The Iron Army soldiers are also very experienced in dealing with many strange devil fruits.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Iron Army have no obvious weaknesses, but at the same time, their combat effectiveness is outstanding.
However, the number of Iron Army soldiers has been decreasing, not due to combat casualties. Some of them have been seconded to other troops, and others have been promoted and transferred because of sufficient merit.
There were three hundred people transferred by Su Luo to his side alone.
Now the three iron armies have only 1,800 people in total, and the rest have already gone to the headquarters or various branches.
Moreover, the Iron Army soldiers did not care about military ranks at all, so they infiltrated all levels of the navy, from major to admiral, and continuously increased Lu Kai's influence on the entire navy.
Of course, at present it is only influence, and no one has done anything against the will of the world government. But once the critical moment comes, as soon as Lu Kai raises his arms and shouts, countless people will respond immediately.
The more time goes by, the deeper Lu Kai's control over the Navy Headquarters becomes. If the situation continues to develop in this way, in four years at most, Lu Kai will be able to achieve full control of the Navy.
What's more, the new generation of marines in the Navy Headquarters were also trained personally by Lu Kai and Tie Jun. These people have always been baptized by Lu Kai's concept of justice that puts the people first, and many of them have firmly supported Lu Kai's justice.
Even if some people disagree with Lu Kai, they can't find any fault with him.
After dealing with Wang Zhi, Lu Kai used Den Den Mushi to transmit the photo of himself and Wang Zhi fighting back to the headquarters. Then Lu Kai reassigned tasks to the three iron armies and asked them to carry them out separately.
Lu Kai took the Mini Iron Army to the hometown of Zephyr, the former admiral of the Navy Headquarters, a small town on a small island. His purpose, of course, was to visit Zephyr.
Because for a long time to come, Lu Kai will have no time.
The Five Elders' intention of coming to attack Wang Zhi this time was naturally very simple, and the intention was to break the rumors from the outside world and continue to maintain Lu Kai's deterrent power.
But they also knew that Lu Kai had not really recovered. It could even be said that in their eyes, this time Lu Kai was just taking advantage of the power of the Iron Army.
However, the whole world knows that the Iron Army was trained by Lu Kai himself, so no one would think about it this way. They would only think that Lu Kai mobilized all the Iron Army just to better achieve the deterrent effect.
Next, under the arrangement of the Five Elders, Lu Kai will leave the Navy Headquarters and guard the Bank Restricted Area.
Because according to Vegapunk's report, he has made a breakthrough in the research of new weapons and is nearing completion.
The new weapon 'Seraph' is the hope of the Five Elders, so they don't want any trouble to happen at this time.
It just so happens that Lu Kai is relatively free now because his strength has not been fully recovered. Considering his "loyalty" to the World Government, this mission is perfect for him.
In addition to Lu Kai's prestige, as long as this matter is spread, I believe no one will dare to cause trouble in the Bank restricted area.
What's more, the Bank restricted area is guarded by two hundred iron army soldiers led by Latilos. The combat effectiveness of these people is extremely terrifying. With Lu Kai leading them, nothing will go wrong.
Zefa’s hometown is on an ordinary island in the New World. The island is not big, but the town on the island is quite prosperous.
The reason for this is that this place is an important transportation route with many ships traveling north and south, which has boosted the local trade and economy.
The second reason is that many people know that this island is the hometown of Zephyr, the former admiral of the Navy Headquarters. There were once reckless pirates who wanted to attack this island, but ended up with a tragic result.
So far, no pirates dared to cause trouble here. Even if there were pirates, they would leave after purchasing supplies.
Many people in this town are proud of Zefa, but what they don’t know is that their pride has already returned to the town in a disguised form and is living in seclusion in a remote manor outside the town.
Ever since all his students on the ship died, Zefa once wanted to take revenge. However, after Lukai killed Huangmu, Zefa was not happy about it, but became very depressed.
Zefa is a very sentimental person, but his loyalty and loyalty also make him a tragic figure.
When he was very young, Zefa admired heroes and always wanted to become a hero himself.
Once, Zefa saw a gangster bullying a little girl who was holding a teddy bear toy.
When everyone was angry but dared not speak out, Zefa stepped forward, beat the gangsters away and helped the little girl.
Since then, Punishment has often stood up for the disadvantaged and beaten up all the bad kids who like to bully others in the whole town.
Later, after seeing the battle between the navy and pirates, Zephyr became excited and had the idea of joining the navy.
So Zefa started training hard at the age of seven or eight, and finally joined the navy at the age of 14.
Zephyr's contemporaries include Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru. This group of navy is also known as the golden generation.
Over the next twenty years, the four men defeated pirates one after another and became famous.
Because Zephyr likes to fight with his fists and is good at Armament Haki, he began to be nicknamed "Black Arm".
Zefa has been kind since childhood, and his adherence to justice is different from others.
He always believed that people can be changed and no one is born bad, so he wanted to give everyone who made a mistake a chance.
So in the more than 20 years since he joined the navy, Zephyr has never killed any pirates, and has mainly focused on capturing them.
At the age of 38, Zephyr became the admiral of the Marine Headquarters and was given the title of the 'no-kill' admiral.
In high spirits, Zefa married his childhood sweetheart, and they had a son.
But although Zephyr spared all the pirates, the pirates were not grateful to him. Instead, they held a grudge against him.
So at the age of 42, the pirate who had been arrested by Zephyr and finally released after serving his sentence found Zephyr's home and brutally killed his wife and children.
At that moment, Zefa's faith collapsed.
His wife and children are everything to Zefa and the light in his heart.
He didn't understand why the pirates wanted to retaliate against him after he let them go. From then on, Zefa developed a strong hatred for pirates.
Having lost all hope at the time, the depressed Zephyr submitted his resignation to the then Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Cyborg.
But Zephyr was a top general at that time, how could Cyborg bear to let him go?
So Cyborg kept trying to retain Zephyr, persuading him to retain his rank of admiral while becoming the chief instructor of the navy to help the navy headquarters train trainee marines.
Zefa is an extremely responsible person, so after becoming the chief instructor, Zefa put all his energy into training students.
His first class included Sakaski and Borsalino, and his third class included Kuzan.
Of course, the three of them are only the strongest among them. In fact, over the past ten years, Zefa has trained countless outstanding naval generals.
