General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 353 Zefa loses contact
Ten days later, at the port of Shengting Island, a coastal city in Alabasta, Weiwei, wearing a snow-white princess dress, with her sea-blue curly hair hanging around her ears, being blown by the sea breeze, quietly watched the Qilin go away.

On her beautiful face, there was no sadness of separation, only anticipation for the day of reunion.

Rorschach and Skylark said that they would definitely come back to Alabasta again.

"I'm really looking forward to that day coming."

Thinking of the smiling faces of Rorschach, Skylark and others, Weiwei couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Weiwei, it's time to rebuild the royal capital. My father needs your help. Before Major General Luo Xia and others come again, we must use our own power to turn this country into a beautiful country where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."

Cobra shouted to Vivi who was standing at the port.

"Here we come! Father."

Weiwei took one last look at the Qilin warship, which was gradually disappearing from her sight, then turned and ran towards the crowd.

In front of her, Kobra took off the king's luxurious robes and put on a simple short jacket. He looked no different from an ordinary peasant. Behind him were Bell, Gakkar, Kosha, and countless kingdom guards who were also dressed. People of the royal capital, refugees.

Everyone has a smile on their face and expectations for the future in their eyes.

Above the vast expanse of blue waves, with the salty sea breeze blowing gently, the huge Qilin battleship unfurled its sails and sailed slowly towards the established route.

This time, Rorschach wanted to visit the upside down mountain.

As we all know, it is the transportation node leading to the paradise channel from all over the world.

Ships from the four seas traveling to and from Paradise and the New World must pass through the currents of Upside Down Mountain and converge to the Twin Capes, where the lighthouse of Rabu the Whale is located.

Although the two large sea areas, the North Sea and the South China Sea, are actually located in the New World.

However, due to the two windless belts that divide the ocean, except for the navy's large warships inlaid with sea tower stones, other ships cannot directly enter the waters of the New World from the North Sea and South China Sea.

Rorschach wanted to go there and see if he could wait and wait for some pirates coming from all over the world.

If you can't wait, then go back to Beihai or go to East China Sea.

During the last call with Jonathan, the old guy took his granddaughter and wandered around the East China Sea, but he killed many pirates in the East China Sea.

However, Jonathan still could not find Zoro, the pirate hunter who was exploited by Roshia.

I heard that he is currently staying at Zoro's hometown, Isshin Dojo in Shigetsutsu Village, drinking and discussing swords with Kozaburo.

Perhaps, he should go to the East China Sea to have a look.

After all, it is not only the starting point of the comic story, but also the starting point of this magnificent pirate era.

On the deck, Skylark sat alone on the unicorn dragon head, looking at the sea in front of him, looking a little depressed.

"What's wrong? Miss Weiwei?"

Rorschach walked behind her, put his hands on the two erect dragon horns, and looked at Yunque jokingly.

Skylark nodded, "Yeah, a little bit."

"If you miss her, then practice hard and develop this fruit as soon as possible. Then you can go to Alabasta to meet her and help Weiwei water her country."

Rorschach smiled and touched her head.

Like a kitten, Skylark rubbed Luo Xia's hand with his head, raised his little face, and said pitifully: "Will Brother Luo Xia also go with Skylark?"

"Yes, I will."

Rorschach's affirmative answer made Skylark very happy, and the depression on his face disappeared.

Although Xiao Nizi has only been with Weiwei for more than ten days, the friendship between the two girls has become extremely deep.

As peers, Yunque and Weiwei have similar high-level backgrounds. Since childhood, they have had few playmates, so they have always been lonely inside.

Just because of similar strong temperament, they rarely show it.

After waking up, Rorschach did not stop in the broken capital of Albana, but flew to Shengting Island on the Kirin that night.

The reason why he stayed there for ten days was because out of guilt for the destruction of the royal capital in the battle between Kaido and himself, Rorschach led his soldiers to help Cobra build some basic structures on Shengting Island. Buildings, catching a large number of sea kings and sea fish, so that the refugees in Alabasta have plenty of food.

It also used its ability to dig ditches, wells, reservoirs and many other water conservancy facilities to help this arid country store some precious water resources when the rainy season comes.

All the gold on the Qilin was kept by Rorschach.

However, a mere few hundred tons of gold is still far behind the destroyed thousand-year-old ancient capital.

Luo Xia also left Weiwei the contact information of the Seven Waters Capital and the Holy Poplar Kingdom to facilitate their future trade on sea routes.

No matter how much compensation, Rorschach can't afford it for the time being.

Kizaru had already left with Moria and some prisoners of war from the Flower Country, and returned to Malinvando.

Eneru and Skylark did not follow, and the Warring States side did not force it, especially since they already knew that Rorschach's strength had made great progress, and Skylark had also awakened the armed domineering power, so they decided to let Rorschach and the others go. The paradise is bustling.

With Rorschach's current strength, unless Kaido or one of the Four Emperors comes to cause trouble again, there will be no danger that can threaten him.

On the deck, all the navy soldiers, including Anilu, have started high-intensity physical training very consciously, which makes Rorschach feel very happy.

It seemed that Alabasta and his party still put huge pressure on them.

Only when you are under pressure can you be motivated. Only when you know your shame and then be brave can you work hard.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should release his armed domineering energy and practice it, the phone bug in his arms suddenly rang at this moment.

Rorschach took out the phone and connected it.

"This is the Qilin, and I am the rear admiral..."

"Rorschach, are you still in Alabasta?"

Before Rorschach could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from the phone.

It is the Warring States Period.

"Old man, we just left Shengting Island. What's wrong? Do you want to see His Majesty Cobra? I can turn around and go back. It's not far away anyway."

"No, I need you to start from Alabasta and go to the nearest windless sea area."

Luo Xia was stunned by Seng Guo's words. "Going to the windless sea?"

"Yeah!" Warring States' voice on the phone was a little deep and solemn, which made Luo Xia's heart suddenly twitch.

The words that followed immediately made Luo Xia's expression change suddenly.

"Zefa is missing!"

"What? Teacher Zefa...is missing?!"

Rorschach looked at the Warring States simulated by the phone bug in disbelief, and his body trembled suddenly.

how can that be possible?
Although Zefa lost an arm due to the accident four years ago, and his asthma relapsed, his strength was no longer what it used to be.

But with the addition of a Hailou Stone mechanical arm, he is still the dignified former navy admiral, Black-armed Zefa!

Like Garp and Warring States, he is also a legend who is still alive today!
With his powerful physical skills and two-color domineering power, even if he faced the four emperors of the new world, it was impossible for him to disappear silently.

Rorschach couldn't think of anyone who could make a strong man like Zefa unable to escape or call for help.

"Brother Luo Xia, what did you say? Grandpa Zefa..."

In front of Rorschach, Skylark's eyes widened when he heard the exclamation from Rorschach's mouth due to excessive shock.

Even the navy soldiers who were training behind them stopped their movements and put on their equipment silently.

Luo, Bebo and others came forward and looked at the phone bug in Rorschach's hand.

Luo Xia held the phone tightly and said in a deep voice: "Marshal of the Warring States Period, what on earth is going on?"

"We don't know exactly what happened. We just locked the general range and need you to go to the windless sea area to check the situation."

Warring States sighed and told the story of how Zefa was missing at his headquarters.

It turned out that just a few ten minutes ago, after Kizaru returned to the Navy Headquarters with Moria from Alabasta, Sengoku and the others learned that Zefa had not gone to Alabasta at all.

Out of absolute trust in senior navy generals like Zefa, the headquarters will not contact them casually without taking the initiative to contact them when they are on the field.

Therefore, Sengoku and Garp always thought that Zefa had arrived in Alabasta long ago and should be staying with Rorschach now.

Who knows, there is none.

However, Warring States did not panic at that time. He knew very well the strength and calm character of his old comrades.

But then, he called all the phone bugs on Zefa's warship, but none of them could get through.

It was only then that Warring States felt something was wrong.

After searching the communication records between the headquarters and Zefa, the Warring States Period locked the area where Zefa lost contact in the windless sea area, within a thousand miles from Alabasta.

Because Rorschach encountered Kaido and later fell into a deep sleep, Zefa set off from his headquarters into the windless zone and kept sailing at full speed. Therefore, according to the itinerary, he would arrive in Alaba two to three days after Rorschach woke up. Offshore.

"Don't be too anxious. Perhaps Zefa and the others have entered some sea area with an abnormal magnetic field, which has caused the phone bugs to be unable to communicate, or the warship to be broken. In short, you follow the coast of Alabasta and enter the nearest windless zone. Search the sea area all the way to see if you can find anything. With your ability, I think even if you encounter difficulties such as currents and sea kings, you can control the ship and fly into the sky to avoid it. Let's go now, there are If you find anything, contact me as soon as possible, and the headquarters will also send warships to investigate."

"Yes! Let's leave now!"

After listening to Sengoku's narration, Rorschach frowned and kept recalling in his mind whether there was anything particularly strange in the windless sea area near Alabasta.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he recalled, he could not find any description of this aspect in the comics.

The only force living in the windless zone is the daughter country of the pirate empress Boya Hancock.

But the place where Amazon Lily of the Daughter Country is located is in the windless zone not far from Impel Down City. It is more than a few thousand miles away from Alabasta?
"Grandpa Zefa, please don't let anything happen to you." Yunque had a worried look on his face.

Among the top generals of the Navy, Zefa is definitely the one who is most respected by everyone, bar none.

He started as a small soldier, used one percent of his talent and 90.00 percent of his sweat, and it took him ten years to go from a recruit to a second lieutenant.

After experiencing countless fights and battles, he accumulated experience and became the most dazzling naval admiral of that era.

He is just, kind and approachable.

After experiencing the pain of losing his family, he decided to devote himself to training new recruits for the navy and became a recruit instructor.

In Zefa's life, he trained countless outstanding sailors.

In today's naval system, more than 80.00% of the middle and high-level generals are his students.

A few years ago, this old man who had insisted on not killing justice all his life experienced the painful experience of a student being killed by pirates in front of him and having his arm cut off.

An ordinary person would be completely depressed if they were to suffer the blow of losing their family members and losing the students they cultivated day and night, even if they didn't go crazy.

But Zefa didn’t.

He still had the belief in protecting justice, and despite his asthma relapse, he asked the Naval Science Department to install a seastone robotic arm on him.

That mechanical arm represents Zefa's belief that he will never back down!

No amount of despair could knock him down.

It wasn't until two years ago that Akainu, who returned to Marineland from the North Sea, told him about Rorschach.

Zefa returned to his position as a recruit instructor and decided to continue to dedicate the rest of his life to the future of the Navy.

In one year, the old man not only taught him fighting skills, but also taught him life, how to behave, and his attitude towards life.

No matter what dangers lie ahead, Rorschach must find that respectable old man.

"Pamel! Expand the wings! Bebo! Activate all the wind-breathing shells! Everyone is ready for battle. We will set off immediately and head to the windless zone at full speed!"

Rorschach's roar echoed loudly on the Qilin.

"Roger that!"

The soldiers responded with a bang and performed their duties.

Rorschach took off his shirt and cloak, and his body swelled up. In an instant, he appeared in the form of a blue lin. He raised his hands, and the air currents between heaven and earth stirred up. He supported the huge hull of the Kirin and broke away from the bottom of the ship in the sea water. Amidst the noisy sound, he broke away from the shackles of the sea and flew towards the windless sea area designated by Skylark at high speed.
