Chapter 442: New User of the Evil God Fruit

Chapter 442: New User of the Evil God Fruit

The power that Zefa holds in his hands now exceeds that of the other two factions even on the surface. With Zefa's forbearance and scheming, who knows how much more power he has hidden.

The Five Elders didn't even dare to suppress the Third Iron Army, let alone order the suppression of Zefa without absolute certainty. If they won, both sides would suffer losses, and if they lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So the Five Elders immediately summoned Zhan Guo in secret to discuss a detailed countermeasure.

Zhan Guo's mood has been as bad as it can be lately.

The Five Elders obviously had something against him, and his two most capable admirals were persecuted and left the Marine Headquarters. In addition, he took the blame for the Five Elders, so now many people in the Marine Headquarters don't take him seriously.

If he hadn't been fully aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered, and if he hadn't been unwilling to let Zefa get his wish, he would have quit long ago.

There is no doubt about Sengoku's personal ability, but nothing good has happened to him since he became the Admiral of the Naval Headquarters. Over the years, many people have privately questioned Sengoku's ability.

But they didn't know that this was not Sengoku's fault, and the situation would only be worse if someone else took over. The Five Elders saw this clearly, so they never thought of replacing the Marshal of the Navy Headquarters.

In the Hall of Power, Zhan Guo stood straight, as if waiting to be lectured, but his expression clearly showed emotion.

"Zhan Guo, you've worked hard recently." Woqiulisheng said gently, an attitude that made Zhan Guo a little uncomfortable.

Satan Saint spoke at this time: "We know that you have been having a hard time recently, and you have always believed that Lu Kai was wronged. In fact, we believe you, but the matter is of great importance and we cannot ignore it. And we didn't expect things to come to this point."

Peter Saint added: "But don't worry, we have already investigated Lu Kai's situation. He is innocent. The facts prove that you are right."

When Zhan Guo heard this, his eyes lit up and he instantly regained his spirit. The emotions that had been pent up for a long time were finally relieved at this moment.

"And we also took the report you submitted about Zefa very seriously, so we secretly conducted an investigation." Woqiulisheng continued, "We don't want Luke to have any problems, and of course we don't want Zefa to have any problems, because he is also an important force in the Navy Headquarters, but..."

"But the facts prove that everything that happened recently was Zefa's conspiracy." Mas Saint continued, "Perhaps you don't know that Borsalino has already defected to Zefa, and Sabine was indeed framed by him.

"But it seems that Borsalino framed Sabine, but in fact, it was Zefa who was the mastermind behind it."

Zhan Guo listened carefully at the side, comparing and verifying what he heard with what he knew.

"It was Zefa who submitted Lu Kai's crimes to us and requested a public trial." Woqiuli Sheng said, "We did give such an order, but our meaning at the time was very simple. The trial was fine, but it had to be fair, just and open.

“After all, this is not the first time that Lu Kai has been tried. Every time he was tried in the past, it was just a formality, so this time is no exception.

“So even we didn’t expect that Zefa would instruct Doberman and others to publicly oppress and humiliate Lu Kai, treat Lu Kai as a criminal in public without solid evidence, and directly convict him.

"Lu Kai was innocent and willing to be investigated, so he cooperated well in the next three days. But I didn't expect Zefa to capture Lu Kai's sister and force Lu Kai to leave the navy and go to the uninhabited island. He also planned a scene where Lu Kai massacred the navy soldiers."

Although Zhan Guo had always believed that Lu Kai was wronged, he did not feel truly relieved until he heard the Five Elders tell the whole story in person.

Woqiulisheng continued at this time: "Unfortunately, the results of our investigation came a little late. Although Lu Kai's innocence was proved, the matter has reached a point where it is almost irreversible. What do you think about this?"

Zhan Guo said solemnly, "Your Excellency Saint Woqiuli, to be honest, I have also been investigating this matter recently, and the results I got are the same as yours, and I also got even more terrifying information."

"Hmm? What information?" Woqiulisheng asked immediately.

"Based on the investigation during this period, we have been able to confirm that Zephyr is the new user of the Evil God Fruit." Sengoku said solemnly.

Zhan Guo's words were earth-shattering and frightened the Five Elders severely. They all stood there in a daze, staring at Zhan Guo in disbelief.

Zephyr is the user of the Evil God Fruit, which scares the Five Elders more than ten Zephyrs rebelling together, because they remember the fear that Sandra brought to them.

After confirming it with Zhan Guo several times in a row and Zhan Guo providing enough evidence, each of the Five Elder Stars seemed to be under a spell and did not move for a long time.

Three years ago, Sandra, who suddenly appeared, almost subverted the world. All he relied on was a devil fruit, which was the evil god fruit.

As the most special and terrifying fruit in the history of devil fruits, anyone who eats it will immediately gain the power to destroy the world.

At the beginning, Sandra had a low IQ and weak strength. She couldn't even use Haki, but she injured Marijoa several times, captured and killed many Celestial Dragons, and even almost broke into Pangu City where the Five Elders and Im were.

But now, this devil fruit has fallen into the hands of Zephyr, the former admiral of the Marine Headquarters who is meticulous, scheming and powerful. Thinking about how Zephyr didn't tell them a single truth today, the Five Elders felt a chill all over their bodies.

Zefa is not someone who can be compared to Sandra, so the threat he poses is naturally not the same.

However, Luke, the strongest person in the Marine Headquarters and the most experienced in dealing with users of the Devil's Fruit, is missing. What makes the Five Elders even more desperate is that they personally helped Zefa drive Luke away.

The Five Elder Stars all wanted to bang their heads against the wall at this moment. They didn't expect that they would actually instruct and help the most terrifying enemy to eliminate the person who could threaten the enemy.

The psychological quality of the Five Elders is absolutely strong, but at this moment they are almost about to collapse. At this moment they really want to find a corner to cry.

I regret it so much! I regret it so much!

Zhan Guo did not disturb the Five Elders, but he was not at peace standing aside.

After learning the news, Warring States' mood would not be much better than the Five Elders, and he might even be more desperate. Because of the importance and trust that the Five Elders have placed on Zephyr over the past year, they might think this is a good thing. This is why Warring States did not report this to the Five Elders immediately.

Fortunately, the Five Elders saw Zefa’s true face, otherwise everything would be over.

After ten minutes, Woqiuli Sheng finally asked Zhan Guo: "Zhan Guo, now that things have come to this, I'm afraid it's useless to say anything. Do you have any countermeasures?"

Because it was a secret meeting, in order not to alert the enemy, Zhan Guo did not stay for long.

After the discussion, the Five Elders went to the Void Throne to meet with Im and told him all the information.

Yim thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong. After confirming it several times, he finally got furious. He pointed at the Five Elder Stars and cursed them one by one. However, the Five Elder Stars knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not say a word.

"I really didn't expect you to be so stupid, and it is precisely because of your stupidity that things have developed to this point, but you didn't realize it until today..."

Im couldn't continue speaking. He sat on the empty throne and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
