Chapter 417 Unspeakable Weirdness
Over the years, the relationship between Lu Kai and Kuzan has become better and better. Even though they have not had direct contact in the past two years, their relationship has not been affected.
The two people who had drunk and chatted together many times had a lot of communication. Lu Kai also "inadvertently" expressed some dissatisfaction with the world government and his desire to fundamentally change the world.
Kuzan agreed with some of Luke's ideas and was even influenced by him unconsciously.
But Lu Kai's expression didn't change at all, instead he said, "I'm going to visit Mr. Zefa, do you want to come with me?"
Kuzan seemed a little disappointed when he heard Luke's words, but he still nodded, because he was indeed worried about Zefa and he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't go to see him.
As Luke opened the space channel, Luke and Kuzan quickly rushed towards the town where Zefa was.
Along the way, neither of them said a word. Lu Kai didn't want to say anything, and Kuzan was a little angry because Lu Kai deliberately avoided his questions.
He came to see Lu Kai today, having made up his mind. However, Lu Kai did not even give him a chance to speak and simply chose to avoid him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Soon, Lukai and Kuzan arrived at Zefa's door, but before they could knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.
An old man with white hair and beard and a wrinkled face appeared in front of the two people. It was Zefa who was rapidly aging due to decadence.
However, although Zefa was weak at the moment, his mental state was no longer bad. Instead, he was unusually calm, which surprised Luke and Kuzan.
"I was just thinking that the first one to come see me would definitely be one of you two, but I didn't expect that you two would come together." Zefa smiled, as if he didn't notice the two people's surprised expressions.
"Come in!" Zefa turned around and walked in first, sat on a chair in the living room, picked up the razor on the table, and shaved himself in front of the mirror.
Lu Kai and Kuzan couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw confusion in each other's eyes, and then immediately followed in.
After sitting down, Luke and Kuzan both saw an open newspaper on the table. What caught their eyes was a picture of Doflamingo and a report about him becoming one of the Shichibukai.
On the shelf next to Zefa, Zefa's navy uniforms were neatly arranged, including suits and capes, as if he was planning to put them on soon.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Kuzan asked Zefa worriedly.
Because Zefa's behavior at this moment was too abnormal, he was so calm that it was a little scary, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
But if Zephyr really didn't care, why would he put the newspaper reporting on Doflamingo on the table?
Lu Kai and Zefa are both experienced people.
If a person who has experienced complete despair and should be hysterical suddenly becomes unusually calm and starts to tidy himself up, there are only two possibilities.
Destroy others, or destroy yourself.
"You little brat, why are you looking at me like that?" Zefa said with a smile while shaving, "I know what you are worried about, are you afraid that I will commit suicide?
"Don't worry, if I wanted to commit suicide, I had countless opportunities in the past two years. I didn't do it before, and I will definitely not do it now.
"Doflamingo's report was not the last straw that broke the camel's back. Instead, it suddenly made me wake up."
As he spoke, Zefa had already finished shaving, and began to put on his suit, then tied his tie, and put on the cloak that once represented his status as an admiral.
"I have been in a daze for the past two years, like a walking corpse, and I can't find my direction." Zefa straightened his collar in front of the full-length mirror and then sat down again. "But this report suddenly made me find the meaning of life again."
At this point, Zefa's eyes suddenly became bright, and he said: "I once wanted to use my own strength to eliminate all the evil in this world and bring justice to everyone.
“As I went through more and more things, I began to feel that this idea was naive, so I gradually moved away from this original intention.
"But is this really a naive idea?" Zefa suddenly asked himself, "No, this is an ideal and a belief. I want to regain this belief, eliminate all the evil in this world, and bring justice to everyone."
Upon hearing this, Luke and Kuzan looked at each other again, both feeling strongly uncomfortable with Zefa's performance.
At this moment, Zefa doesn't look like an elder in his sixties, nor does he look like a frustrated person. Instead, he looks like a passionate young man in his early twenties, ready to accomplish great things at any time.
"What? Do you think I'm crazy?" Zefa saw the expressions of the two people and asked unhappily, "Have you two become arrogant after becoming admirals?"
"Teacher, how dare we? In front of you, we are always students." Lu Kai explained quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Kuzan also agreed, "I'm just... I'm happy for the teacher's cheering up."
Zefa rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "You two have both learned bad things. Luke was obviously taught by Garp, and as for you, Kuzan, you were obviously influenced by Luke.
"Forget it. I am too lazy to argue with you. But I am still clear about my current situation." Zefa continued, "Lu Kai, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Teacher, you can tell me as you like!" Lu Kai assured.
"Let Honey come over and treat me." Zefa said seriously, "I've been drinking all day for the past two years, I've been depressed, my body has been hollowed out, and now I'm no different from a waste.
"If you want to get back on your feet, you must have the corresponding strength. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk. How about this? Can you agree to my request?"
"Of course, I will bring her here personally!" Lu Kai nodded immediately.
The three of them chatted for a long time in a very relaxed atmosphere. It was not until after dinner that Lu Kai and Kuzan got up to say goodbye.
After leaving Zefa's yard, Luke and Kuzan's expressions suddenly became serious.
"Lu Kai, what do you think?" Kuzan asked with a frown.
"I don't know, I can't explain it, I just feel it's very abnormal." Lu Kai also frowned.
"You said..." Kuzan asked hesitantly, "Isn't it that Mr. Zefa has a mental problem because of the stimulation he received?"
"Uh..." Lu Kai was stunned and found that this was indeed a possibility, but he didn't think about it at first.
But after Kuzan's reminder, Lu Kai found that this was indeed possible, but the more this was the case, the heavier Lu Kai's mood became.
On the way back, Lu Kai and Ku Zan both seemed to be worried.
Luke and Kuzan should have been happy to see Zefa cheer up, but if it was true as Kuzan said that Zefa had mental problems, they would feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Kai has been using his observation Haki to sense Zefa's emotions and thoughts, and did not notice anything unusual. It seemed that what Zefa said was really what he was thinking.
Zephyr even revealed to the two that he planned to contact Sengoku and wanted to return to the navy to form a naval guerrilla force to make use of his remaining energy and continue to fight against evil.
