Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 43 Conversation with Zefa
A seagull with white feathers rested on a stone on the shore.

With its sharp eyes, it looked at the sun that was gradually sinking into the sea. When it could no longer be seen, it got up and flew away.

Because night is coming, the water is about to rise, and the waves can already hit the rocks where they rest.

Akainu followed Zefa for a walk along the coast, admiring the sun sinking into the sea.

"Today's sunset is not beautiful." Zefa sighed.

"But the starry sky will be beautiful tonight." Akainu looked up at the brilliant starry sky that was already showing its first glory.

Zefa also looked up and saw countless small silver dots scattered all over the sky, as if waiting for the darkness to come, because only in this way can the shining stars be fully highlighted.

Akainu spoke softly: "Teacher Zefa, do you know why the stars we see shine?"

"Don't stars shine on their own?"

"Of course not. The light from the stars is illuminated by the sun, just like the main structure of the current naval officers was illuminated and grown by Teacher Zefa."

"Hahahahaha." Zefa laughed heartily, "It turns out that the light of stars comes from the sun. Sakaski, you also know astrology."

Akainu smiled and then said directly, he always likes to be direct.

"Teacher Zefa, are you willing to return to the Navy Headquarters?"

This question that got straight to the point immediately silenced Zefagan, who had been laughing loudly just now.He turned to look at the increasingly dark sea and changed the subject.

"The pirates who attacked the prison island today were the Shichibukai. Have you thought about the consequences? Have you ever thought about the impact of being a naval marshal who directly attacked the Shichibukai? The top government officials will hold you accountable."

Akainu: "The Marine guerrillas are also the navy. It was the Shichibukai who broke the rules first. Even the Five Old Stars can't blame me for this matter."

"As for what Doflamingo or the other Shichibukai think, I don't care what the pirates think. If there is a big trouble, just cancel the Qibukai system."

"Hahahahaha!" Zefa laughed again, but he was laughing at Akainu's ignorance.

"The Navy is just a subordinate department of the World Government. If you want to cancel the Shichibukai system, you have to vote for approval from the top government officials and many participating countries."

"On the other hand, the Shichibukai was set up to balance the power of the sea. If it is canceled rashly and the balance is broken, who will supplement it?"

Akainu knows that in the original work, the Shichibukai system was canceled at the World Conference two years later.The biggest consideration in this is not the vote of the franchised countries, but the fact that the World Government has obtained more powerful war weapons through Vegapunk, so it no longer needs the Shichibukai.

Therefore, the key to abolishing the Qiwukai lies in strength. Akainu is confident that he can obtain the power to abolish the Qiwukai before Vegapunk's research is successful.

"If Teacher Zefa is willing to help me, I can abolish the Shichibukai system within a year."

Zefa was moved by Akainu's affirmative tone.He couldn't believe it, because the disgustingness of the so-called legal pirates had always been a pet peeve of his, and now Sakaski actually said that it would be abolished within a year?

"What are you going to do?"

Akainu: "There are a lot of things to do. It is said to take a year, but it is also a long and arduous process, so Teacher Zefa is needed."

Zefa was silent again.

Akainu was not in a hurry and waited aside.

After waiting for a long time, when the night fell completely and the stars in the sky revealed their true appearance.

Zefa spoke again: "Sakaski, do you think the Navy really represents the side of justice?"

Akainu looked at Zefa, looking at his majestic figure under the starry sky, and saw his mechanical arm that represented the pain of the past.This may be a key issue in whether Zefa can be persuaded to return.

"Of course not. Shuzuo's words are right. The navy's justice is a false lie."

"This is a lie to deceive the people of the world. The main purpose of the navy's existence is to maintain the dominance of the Celestial Dragons. In other words, it is a tool used to rule the world. However, the tool cannot directly reveal the intention to rule and needs to occupy the moral high ground, such as justice. Whitewash.”

Hearing Akainu's answer, Zefa was obviously a little excited.

"Then why do I want to return to the Navy? Why do you want to be this marshal, Sakaski?"

Faced with these two questions, Akainu did not answer directly, but said: "I want to tell a story. Teacher Zefa, please listen to it first."

"There is a country on the sea. The royal family of this country has tens of millions of people attached to it like blood-sucking worms. However, the government of the country has failed to control it effectively. The country has actually been divided into large and small forces."

"It stands to reason that such a country and its royal family should be overthrown soon, but the royal family has the most powerful force in their hands. If they can't be overthrown, the people can only bite each other at the bottom and continue the vicious cycle, no matter good or evil. .”

"Over time, this country no longer has positive values, because justice and evil, kindness and cruelty, everything is misaligned and everything is upside down."

"So children born in this country have received chaotic values ​​since childhood. Some people do not think thieves are thieves, but think they are heroes of freedom. They are even proud to be the king of thieves."

"Of course, such people may be good in nature. Anyway, the world is already in such a bad state. It's just a name and it doesn't matter."

"If one day in the future, the Pirate King overthrows the Celestial Dragons and changes the world, then the values ​​of this world will be completely reversed, and all children will be proud to be pirates."

"On that day, good will be bad, bad will be good, the navy will be evil, and the pirates will be righteous..."

"So Teacher Zefa, it doesn't matter what naval justice you are struggling with, because there is no such thing at all. The key is what you do."

Akainu said a long list, and Zefa was a little confused. He had never thought of these problems.It doesn't matter whether it's good or evil, it's just a name.

"Then how do we do it?"

Akainu was very satisfied with Zefa's reaction. On the surface, he had been circumvented by him.

So he didn't hide it and answered directly: "Of course it is our navy that will overthrow the Tianlong people, transform the world, and lead the upside-down and chaotic world back to the right path and return to positive values."

Zefa was shocked: "You said you want to overthrow the Tianlong people?!"

"Why not? It's better to say that only by overthrowing them can we change the world." Akainu didn't finish his sentence. What he wanted was not to overthrow, but to abolish this system and class just like the abolition of the Shichibukai system. Of course, he talked about those , Zefa must not understand it at all.

"Hahahahahaha!" Zefa suddenly laughed wildly.

"I almost fainted because of you, Sakaski. Stop saying those unreliable things."

Akainu chuckled and shook his head: "Teacher Zefa doesn't believe it so much? Don't you want to try it?"

"I tried."

Zefa suddenly sat down cross-legged, and his tall and strong figure actually looked lonely and thin at this moment.
