Chapter 416 The last moment of life
However, Doflamingo was not afraid at all, but only excited. Under Doflamingo's order, the ship sailed at full speed towards the fleet transporting Tenjo Gold.
When the two sides were only two miles apart, a large number of white lines emerged from Doflamingo's body. After the white lines appeared, they gushed towards the sky like a volcanic eruption.
After reaching a certain height, the white lines scattered regularly in all directions, slowly forming a huge semicircular cage on the sea surface, covering both sides.
The birdcage is one of the special moves developed by Doflamingo using the String-String Fruit. As long as he does not actively unlock it, the person trapped in the birdcage has almost no chance of getting out, and the final result can only be being trapped to death little by little.
After doing all this, the members of the Don Quixote Pirates rushed towards the ship transporting Tenjou Gold.
The next day, a report spread all over the world that the World Government decided to recruit "Tenyasha" Doflamingo as the new Shichibukai, replacing Sheila who was defeated by "Red Hair" Shanks.
This news did not cause much reaction worldwide, but it caused an earthquake within the navy.
At least half of the officers in the Marine Headquarters hated Doflamingo with a vengeance.
The fact that Zefa was attacked and injured, and the trainee navy he led were wiped out is still vivid in people's minds. Later, Zefa retired because of this. There are even rumors that Zefa, who has completely retired, is now dying, like a walking corpse, and is probably not going to live long.
Doflamingo, the instigator of all this, has transformed himself into one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a member of the World Government. No navy is allowed to attack him again, which means that everyone has lost the opportunity to avenge Zephyr.
Many people find it hard to accept that this former admiral, who dedicated his entire life to the navy and diligently trained countless talents for the navy, received such a result in return for his efforts.
Especially those officers who had a deep relationship with Zefa felt extremely heartbroken.
……
In a dark and damp room, the dying Zefa's hands holding the newspaper could not stop shaking, and two lines of tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
But the room was silent. Although Zefa was crying, his old expression seemed to be smiling. It was a smile of despair, a smile full of self-mockery.
Zefa stood up tremblingly, tidied his appearance, then walked to the bed, tried hard to lie down, and then stared at the ceiling in a daze.
He originally thought that he didn't care about anything anymore and it wouldn't matter if he died like this, since he had nothing to be attached to anyway.
But at this moment, Zefa felt endless unwillingness in his heart.
why?
Why did he end up like this after helping so many people, defeating so much evil, and training so many good disciples throughout his life?
His beloved wife and children were killed by pirates, his cherished disciples were slaughtered in front of him, and when he was about to die, reality stabbed him hard in the heart.
The pirate who killed his own disciples suddenly became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and was protected by the World Government. All his past deeds were forgiven.
At this moment, Zefa suddenly realized that he was wrong. Not killing, world government, justice, all of them were bullshit. Zefa's heart was filled with endless resentment.
He always thought that he was kind and just, but if that was the case, why was his heart filled with only hatred when he was dying?
"Hahaha! I'm just a naive fool. My life is a complete tragedy." Zefa suddenly laughed wildly, and then started crying while laughing.
Zefa finds it ridiculous when he thinks about how he spent his entire life suppressing his personality and emotions for the justice advocated by the World Government, and investing all his energy into a cause that he thought was just, only to end up being an accomplice to the evil.
He hated himself for holding back his grief and not avenging his wife and children.
He hated himself for not standing up to avenge his disciples the first time.
He hated himself. Why did he firmly support the World Government from the beginning to the end and believe that the World Government was just?
He dedicated his entire life to the navy, and when he got old he lived in regret and pain every day.
His enemies were at large and were now protected by the World Government, leaving him with no chance of revenge.
What makes Zefa feel even more tragic is that when he realizes this, his life is constantly slipping away, and all the hatred in his heart seems to be a mockery of his own life.
In endless sadness, Zefa slowly closed his eyes as his vitality faded away.
……
The reason why Doflamingo became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was because he reached some kind of deal with the Five Elders by threatening the secrets of Tenjoujin and Marijoa.
Luke doesn't care about the deal between the Five Elders and Doflamingo. He cares about Zephyr.
What will happen to this elder who has taken good care of him but has become completely decadent due to the ravages of reality after being stimulated by this incident?
If things had developed along the normal trajectory, Zephyr would have sent out the navy to form the NEO Navy, intending to destroy all the pirates in the New World.
But now Zefa has left the navy and is dying. What impact will this incident have on him now?
Unlike the carefree Garp, Zephyr is a meticulous person and has to carry a heavier load.
So Luca planned to go visit Zefa immediately. He couldn't feel at ease without seeing Zefa's condition with his own eyes.
But before Luke could move, a figure appeared outside Bank's restricted area. It was the current admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji Kuzan.
Sensing Kuzan's presence, Lu Kai teleported and appeared in front of him.
Kuzan was no longer surprised by Luke's sudden actions and did not react too much, but he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Kuzan, why are you here? And you have such an expression, what happened?" Lu Kai asked curiously.
As an independent organization, the Bank Forbidden Zone is not under the jurisdiction of the Navy Headquarters. Except for Luke, the commander of the Navy's scientific forces, and his subordinates, as well as the navy that delivers supplies on a daily basis, other navy forces are not allowed to land on the island without the unification of the Five Elders.
Kuzan had never been here in all these years, so Lu Kai naturally asked this question, but he could guess the reason in his heart. What else could it be except for Zefa's matter?
"I just wanted to talk to you. By the way, you know about Doflamingo, right?" Kuzan asked.
Lu Kai sighed when he heard this, and then nodded solemnly.
"Can you tell me what you are thinking?" Kuzan continued to ask, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Kai, as if he wanted to see something different.
Lu Kai's observation Haki allowed him to clearly feel Kuzan's emotions and thoughts. He really didn't expect that Kuzan was actually planning to confront him.
