Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 64 Zefa visits the wounded soldiers
Tezoro can't count on money for the time being, and Akainu really has no intention of killing the goose that lays the goose, unless absolutely necessary.

Then, Akainu suddenly remembered Tulip Hidden, the Carter who had been imprisoned on the guerrilla prison island.

Let someone summon Carter.

It didn't take long.

His hair and clothes were tidied up, his complexion improved a lot, and Carter, who walked without trembling, came to Akainu.

"Marshal, are you going to find the tulip secret?"

Since Carter returned to the Navy Headquarters with Akainu, he has been staying in the room and not daring to go anywhere. After all, he was a pirate and he did not dare to wander around the Navy Headquarters.He just stayed in the room and waited for Akainu to summon him.

Akainu was short of money, so he naturally thought of him.

"It's better than nothing, go ahead and give it a try. Are you feeling okay?"

"Thank you, Marshal, for sending someone to take care of me. My old body and bones are much better now. I can now withstand the wind and waves on the sea."

"Well, I will send a naval officer to drive a warship and go with you to Cicillo Town to look for it."

"Wait a minute, Marshal, I just said that there is information about the treasure in Sisiro Town, but I didn't say that the treasure is in Sisiro Town." Carter was panicked, fearing that Akainu would convict him of it later.

"fine."

Then Akainu was in trouble. There was no one he could trust around him to do this. Just sending an officer would not work.

"Is the marshal trying to send someone to make trouble?" Turan saw Akakenu's thoughts.

Akainu nodded.

"Then I have a recommendation, Colonel T. Penn. I was taken care of by him when I first joined the Navy. Although that uncle looks very fierce and scary, he has a great sense of justice and cares about his subordinates. He can definitely complete the marshal's mission. Task."

Akainu also thought of this person. After thinking about it, he thought it was good and summoned him.

When T. Penn walked into the office, he felt like a walking zombie.

He was dressed in armor and had a helmet on his head with long red feathers on the top.He has long curly black hair and a bony face with one upper tooth missing.The skin also takes on a bluish-gray color.

"General, Colonel T. Penn is reporting in." T. Penn's military salute was very deft.

Akainu heard what he called him, and remembered that he was not from the Zefa system, so he was not on the list in the conference a few days ago.

However, Akainu thought that he was not resentful of himself. This person was just doing business. In name, he had not officially handed over yet.

"T Penn, your reputation among the navy is very good. I admire you very much. Although I did something like that a few days ago, my intention was for the good of the navy. You have been in contact with the grassroots all year round, so you should be better than me. Understand better."

T Penn's eyes were straight and serious.

"I am just a colonel and am not qualified to express any opinions on how to run the navy. All I do is stick to my heart."

"That's good." Akainu stood up with a smile and walked up to T. Penn, who was taller than him. However, he did not try to oppress him. Instead, he introduced Carter next to him.

"The Navy has financial difficulties. This old Carter knows about a treasure. You take him to see it. You will have full authority to direct any actions along the way, including him."

T Penn looked at Carter, who was almost as thin as him, and nodded.

Carter showed some fear of T. Penn, who was like a living skeleton, and said quickly: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will obey this officer in all my actions."

"Very good, let's set off. The target is the town of Cicillo. A warship will order 666 sailors."

T. Penn tilted his head in confusion: "Why do we need 666 sailors?"

"Auspicious numbers, seek good luck." Akainu smiled and waved for T Penn to hurry up and set off.

When T. Penn went on a mission, Akainu asked Turan to summon the person in charge of the maintenance of the naval headquarters, and to find relevant people to ask about the "capital move".

……

Akainu was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. Sawa, who was invited back by Akainu, had a relatively leisurely time and acted more like a flag.

As if announcing to the entire navy: Teacher Zefa, who has been away from the navy center for many years, is back!He believes in supporting Akainu!Akainu will definitely make the Navy stronger and the world a better place!
sunset.

The warm setting sun shrouded the Navy Headquarters, but it could not warm the scars of the war that had not been repaired, whether it was buildings or people's hearts.

Navy headquarters hospital.

Zefa came today to see the brave sailors who were wounded in the war on the top.

Those with minor injuries have already been discharged from the hospital, while those with serious injuries are still lingering in the hospital bed, and many more have broken limbs and legs that will be useless for the rest of their lives.

Zefa held back his tears and expressed condolences to each of them. Among them, he saw a large number of his students. All of them were good men and sailors, but now they were the most seriously injured.

In war, only those who are smart survive.They hid in the back, paddled in the water, and ran around, and they got by.

Some of them even jump out and accuse, saying that those who rush to the front are fools!It’s the fangs of war!It's a puppet!They were fooled by the world government and it would be a shame to die!
Zefa understood that his students were such a bunch of fools.

Therefore, when Zefa walked out of the hospital, when there were no outsiders, he could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The faces and their words came to mind.

"Aren't I dreaming? Teacher Zefa, are you finally back?! Unfortunately, my legs are gone and I have become disabled. I can no longer follow Teacher Zefa."

"Teacher Zefa, can you help me ask when my son's pension will come down? I'm such a bastard, how can I let him go to the battlefield when he is just an adult?"

"Teacher Zefa, is our Navy really just? Does everyone think so? I really feel that I have been deceived and betrayed by the people above."

"I killed five pirates. If I hadn't stopped in the end, I could have killed more. Although I am already dead, my life is enough! I can also explain to my family after I die. I made five pirates pay for their lives."

"When I was on the execution platform, my lungs were burned out by fire. The doctor said I wouldn't live long. Can Teacher Zefa ask someone to go back to my hometown to see my brother?"

……

Zefa, a tall man, squatted on the lawn, with the setting sun shining on him, his shoulders shaking as he broke down in tears.

After a long time, Zefa recovered, wiped away his tears, and saw a somewhat familiar figure walking towards the end of the lawn.

"Old friend, long time no see." The person who came to greet him first turned out to be the naval hero Garp, picking his nose with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Long time no see." Zefa pushed the frame of the mirror, his voice cold.

"Hahahahaha, I miss you so much. I remember when I was called Iron Fist and you were called Black Wrist, and we dominated the sea. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have all become old men."

Garp came closer and patted Zefa on the shoulder affectionately.

But the next second, Zefa opened Garp's hand, walked away a few steps, and distanced himself.

No matter how arrogant Ren Karp was, he finally noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, "What's wrong? Did Sakaski tell you something?"

Karp put his hands back in his trouser pockets and said in a colder voice: "Sakaski was too cruel to his colleagues. As an older generation, I should have taught him a lesson at the dock that day."

"What did you say? What lesson?" Zefa was confused.

"You don't know?" Garp was stunned.
