Chapter 522 Retreat
Just when the Kingdom of Adrian was quietly incorporating the Kingdom of Germa with the intention of occupying the North Sea, the navy was dispatched.
New World, the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Goodbye Bai Xiaoji, everyone. See you in a month!"
Oden and his retainers stood on a small boat and waved goodbye to the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Remember to come back on time, Oden. The banquet cannot be separated from your oden!"
Marco transformed into a human-beast form, grabbed the railing with his two blue claws, squatted down, and said goodbye to Oden and others with a smile.
Whitebeard stood aside and said with the same smile: "Be safe, Oden!"
Every year Oden would return to Wano Country for a period of time. He was not very worried, it was just a daily reminder.
"Don't worry, Bai Xiaoji, I'm very strong!"
Oden showed off his muscular body.
After saying goodbye, Oden drove a small boat and separated from the Moby Dick with his retainers.
After a while, one of the Whitebeard Pirates quietly left the crowd and went to the toilet.
He took out a special Den Den Mushi, put it to his mouth, and whispered, "Oden has left the Moby Dick and is returning to Wano Country."
Den Den Mushi replied, "Got it. Continue the ambush and don't reveal your identity."
The undercover agent hung up the Den Den Mushi, adjusted his mentality, walked out of the bathroom, and transformed into an ordinary member of the Whitebeard Pirates again.
The sky is blue, the sea is calm, but undercurrents are surging behind the scenes.
Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
"Kozuki Oden has left the Whitebeard Pirates' area of sea. The action has begun. Garp and Sakaski can begin the action!"
As the order was given, the two warships began to leave the port of the Navy Headquarters. Garp, Sakaski, five vice admirals, and 600 naval soldiers on the warships were the entire force.
Zhan Guo stood at the harbor, watching the two warships sail away, wanting to find someone to say something, but found that the chief of staff He was gone.
"Damn the Kingdom of Adrien!"
Cursing inwardly, Zhan Guo returned to the office alone. Without He to offer advice, he had more things to consider on his own.
At the same time, the staff officer Crane, whom Zhan Guo was thinking about, was reminiscing with an old friend.
"He, do you know why I want to join the Kingdom of Adrien?"
In the bright room, Zefa sat on the sofa, and Tsuru and Gion sat opposite him.
There was a stone table between the three of them, on which were placed several plates of snacks and various drinks.
"Because the World Government recruited Whitebeard II as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
Zephyr nodded, then shook his head.
"Whitebeard II almost killed all my students, and the World Government actually recruited him as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I can't take revenge even though my enemy is right in front of me. Do you think I am particularly incompetent?"
He remained silent. As an old partner, she knew that Zephyr had indeed dedicated his entire life to the navy, and the World Government's actions were indeed disheartening.
"Teacher Zefa, the death of that class of students is not your fault. You have tried your best." Gion comforted with a sad face.
She is also Zephyr's student and knows how much Zephyr loves his students. What the World Government is doing is undoubtedly pushing Zephyr into a desperate situation.
Zefa shook his head and said, "He, do you know how I and several other students survived?"
Crane frowned. Zephyr's report said that Whitebeard II was afraid of being surrounded by the navy, so he retreated first.
Now it seems that there is something hidden.
"Did people from the Kingdom of Adrian save you?" He asked uncertainly.
Zefa nodded.
"It was indeed someone from the Kingdom of Adrian who saved me, and you know this person."
Just then, the door opened and a man with short purple hair, a burly build and wearing a white military uniform walked in, supporting a woman with long orange hair, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but well-maintained skin.
He widened his eyes and looked at the two people who came in in disbelief.
"It seems."
They are indeed very similar. Tarvis and young Zephyr are almost exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Gion had never seen the young Zephyr, but he could tell that the man who suddenly appeared in front of him must be related to Zephyr.
"Sister He, long time no see." Lucia said with a smile.
She is Zefa's wife, twenty years younger than He, and she used to call He sister.
He looked at Lucia, then at Zefa beside him, and said in disbelief: "Are you Lucia?"
Lucia nodded.
"Then he is Talvis."
"That's right, Aunt Crane," Talvis said with a smile.
The shock on He's face grew even stronger.
"You are not..."
Halfway through her words, the shock on her face turned into genuine blessings.
"Great, you're still alive."
Gion, who was standing by, also realized who the two people in front of him were, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
She had also seen Zefa staring at the photos on his desk in a daze, and knew that Zefa missed his deceased wife and son.
Now that both of them are still alive, that is the best outcome.
In the following time, Lucia recounted the experiences of the mother and son over the years, naturally including what happened in Marinford.
After hearing Lucia's experience, Tsuru and Gion were silent. These things simply did not stand up to scrutiny.
A group of ordinary pirates actually knew who the admiral's family was, found their location accurately, and even killed them and escaped successfully.
That’s the Navy Headquarters!
Even the Four Emperors couldn't just leave easily after killing someone at Marine Headquarters.
"Tsuru, are the Navy fighting for justice, or for the World Government, or for the Celestial Dragons?"
He exhaled, his expression complicated as he said, "I know what you want to say, but the navy has Sengoku and Garp. I can't be their enemy."
Zefa didn't say anything, he had guessed the answer long ago.
"The Navy's Chief of Staff, Crane, is dead. He died when he caused chaos in Mary Geoise in the Kingdom of Adrien."
Crane said, looking at Zephyr calmly.
Hearing this, Zefa smiled with relief.
"I'm not here to persuade you to become an enemy of the navy. I'm just here to meet an old friend. The Kingdom of Adrian is huge, so adding another retired old man is not a problem."
Lucia also said, "Sister Crane, if you want to retire, I can help you. Don't you like birds? There are many bird Pokémon in the Kingdom of Adrian. I can find you a job. Feed the birds every day, and we can chat in our spare time."
He also gave a kind smile: "That would be troublesome."
After thinking for a while, she placed her old hand on Gion beside her.
"Gion, just follow Zephyr. My old bones are tired, but you are still young. Go do what you think is right."
Gion looked at Tsuru's kind smile, nodded, and replied, "I understand, Tsuru-nee."
From then on, the pirate world lost a naval chief of staff with extremely high IQ, and gained an old woman who tamed birds, and even the future Four Heavenly Kings of the Flying System, but that is a story for later.
