General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 559 Master and Disciple

"That bastard Morgans! He actually spread the news of Rorschach's capture like that. Now it's making a big fuss, and the whole world knows that our navy personally sent a naval hero who took the initiative to capture pirates to prison!"

Under the Fortress of Justice in Marinefando, at the entrance to the temporary prison, Sengoku looked like an angry bull, his face full of anger.

"How can such a thing be concealed? Besides, now is not the time to consider this. The top priority is to think about how to get the world government to stop targeting Rorschach."

Garp, who was standing opposite him, sighed, "Well, although I don't really agree with Rorschach's approach of killing all pirates, his loyalty to justice and the navy is definitely not false. Otherwise If so, with his strength, he didn’t have no chance when he was in Dressrosa..."

Garp didn't continue, but Sengoku completely understood what he meant.

However, even for him, a naval marshal, there is no good solution to the problem Garp mentioned.

Let's say Rorschach committed a crime. All he killed were pirates.

Although Doflamingo is a Shichibukai and an official ally of the Navy, he was the first to attack his allies and invade their territory. Rorschach's attack can only be regarded as Rorschach's legitimate counterattack.

Although Rorschach did not commit any crime, he indeed caused the deaths of three Shichibukai.

In the Alabasta incident, although Vivi was responsible for Crocodile's death, anyone who is not a fool would know that Crocodile was defeated by someone and was unable to resist.

In the Great Battle of Totland, although Akainu was protecting Rorschach and everyone unified his narrative, he told the outside world that Edward Weeble's death was caused by Katakuri.

And Katakuri didn't stand up to refute.

But how could Sengoku, the marshal of the navy, and the world government above not understand the truth?

After all, there were over 10,000 naval soldiers participating in that great sea battle, and there were always eye spies from various forces among them.

Warring States, Garp and others all knew that the reason why Rorschach killed Weibull was, of course, just to avenge Zefa.

In fact, when they heard the news of Weibull's death, almost all the naval admirals, including them, were happy and irritated.

Weibull's death naturally aroused the displeasure of the World Government.

But because Charlotte Lingling was successfully killed and Doflamingo, who was cooperating with the boss, came to power smoothly, the boss, despite being dissatisfied, reluctantly accepted it without saying anything more.

But now, Doflamingo's death has completely ignited the World Government's anger towards Rorschach.

Warring States knows that the Five Old Stars are not opposed to having a few generals in the navy with extreme ideas, similar to Akainu.

On the contrary, they would be happy to see a few more useful people like Akainu in the navy.

What they don't like is disobedience.

And Rorschach, after receiving orders from Sim and Green Gu himself to give up attacking Doflamingo, still went his own way and beat Doflamingo to a pulp in front of Green Gu. live.

This kind of behavior is tantamount to a slap in the face of the world government.

Coupled with the sensitivity of Doflamingo's own identity, many factors were added together to get a very bad result.

Even if Sengoku begged Wu Laoxing personally, even if he went to the commander-in-chief Sora to plead for mercy, he would only get a cold reply from Wu Laoxing.

Just two words, "severe punishment!"

The death penalty was out of the question.

The most likely problem is that he was imprisoned in Impel Down for a few years.

And the Warring States Period is now thinking of ways to shorten this sentence to the shortest possible time.

It's best to just shut it down for a few months and think about it, just to think about it.

If Rorschach really needs to be imprisoned for decades, then a monster-level seedling that has only appeared in the Navy for more than ten years will be completely destroyed.

And the impact on outside sailors is not good either.

Thinking of this, Warring States felt a headache.

"That guy Porusalino is really useless. He took action personally, but he didn't even stop Rorschach. I don't know if he really can't stop him or if he doesn't want to stop him. And Zefa, it's better to let him stop him. Student, he was good, he followed Rorschach and even beat up Gringou."

"It's okay now. Wu Laoxing was angry about this and revoked Zefa's position as recruit chief instructor and asked him to retire directly. You said, everything was fine before, but now it's like this. What's this?"

Warring States sighed, shook his head repeatedly, and walked towards the office.

Garp also sighed and took a deep look inside the temporary prison.

"Please stop saying a few words. The one who is most sad right now is Zefa."

Inside the prison.

The master and apprentice sat opposite each other across the stone fence of Hailou.

Rorschach didn't look sad about being arrested. He still had a faint smile on his delicate face, looking at the sad Zefa outside the fence.

"You kid, how can you still laugh? You know, if you don't handle it well this time, I'm afraid you will be imprisoned in Impel Down City for decades. As a senior general of the Navy, you blatantly disobeyed the orders of the World Government. It is a serious crime in the navy, and even a general, let alone a lieutenant general, cannot violate it."

Seeing the smile on Luo Xia's face, Zefa was so angry that he really wanted to go in and beat him up, so that this kid Luo Xia would have a good memory and not be so impulsive and reckless in the future.

"Shut it down, shut it down. If they really imprison me in Pushing City, I will join Uncle Magellan and become a prison bully in Pushing City, helping him manage the public security issues in Pushing City. I think that such a day should be better than Now like this, it’s easy and satisfying to fight the Yonko everywhere in the new world.”

Luo Xia chuckled lightly, pointed a finger at the top of his head, looked at Zefa and said: "In addition, Teacher Zefa, you may have thought wrong. If I really can't handle it well, I guess I will be dead." That old bastard Green Gu already has a grudge against me. Well, and you, hahaha. By the way, Teacher Zefa, what were you thinking at that time? Why did you really grab Green Gu’s old face and press it to the ground and rub it? Don’t give me any face, that old bastard is the commander of the Knights of God. Now, is the position of chief instructor gone?”

"Have you ever said that about a teacher? You bastard, you really don't know anything about respecting teachers."

Zefa glared at him and then laughed too.

"Hahaha, I can't help it. Who made that old bastard careless? Do you really think that I picked up my reputation as a black-handed general? That old bastard wanted to beat him up last time in Shampoo. Luo Xia, you don't know , even though Green Gu appears to be a fairy and full of magnanimity, in fact he is a cruel and cruel butcher. He also said that you are cruel. That guy was in the Valley of the Gods, no, earlier. , as a leader among the Tianlong people, he participated in several competitive competitions held by the Tianlong people, and the person who killed the most each time was him. This time it is not for you, but I just want to beat him! "

Zefa snorted coldly, as if remembering some unpleasant past, his eyes full of anger.

Rorschach's heart moved when he heard this, and he quietly released his domineering energy, covering the entire Marineland. He checked carefully and found no spies from the World Government near the temporary prison. Then he lowered his voice and asked Zefa some of his thoughts. Confuse. "Teacher Zefa, actually I have a few questions in my mind that I want to ask you and Mr. Garp."

Zefa nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and sighed: "If you don't tell me, I know what you probably want to ask. It's just why we old guys will sit back and watch the Tianlong people do mischief in those non-franchise countries. And why do we He knows clearly that the World Government’s attitude towards the world is so cruel and terrible, but he is still willing to act as a lackey of the World Government and work hard to maintain this false justice.”

Luo Xia opened his mouth half-open, completely unaware that Zefa had guessed exactly what he was thinking, and immediately looked at Zefa blankly.

Seeing the dumbfounded expression on Rorschach's face, Zefa smiled mockingly.

"Don't look at me like that. In fact, you are not the only one who wants to know from me the doubts in your heart over the past few decades."

There was a hint of memory and nostalgia for the past in his eyes.

"Many years ago, Polusalino and Kuzan both asked me this question. The closest one was Dolag."

"Dorag?" Luo Xia was shocked.

Zefa nodded, "Yes, Dorag also studied domineering and physical skills with me for a period of time. Before he betrayed the navy, he once asked me the above two questions."

"Why are you turning a blind eye?"

"Why do you want to help the tiger?"

Rorschach looked at Zefa outside the fence who seemed to have become much older in an instant. It was not an aging in appearance, but an aging in his heart and spirit.

This kind of aging is a state that neither pure gold nor ageless surgery can repair.

He didn't interrupt, just listened silently.

"Regarding these two issues, actually Rorschach, what I want to tell you is that no matter what we naval generals think in our hearts, no matter what concept of justice we work with, the navy is the world government from beginning to end. The violent organization established is a force organization created specifically to solve the troubles on the sea for the world government."

"Decades and hundreds of years before Garp, Sengoku, Xiaohe and I joined the navy, the navy was already the most powerful violent institution on this sea. Every generation of naval headquarters will Composed of a marshal and three admirals, this level of force cannot be matched by any pirate group on the sea."

"The navy at that time basically followed the orders of the World Government. When it came to dealing with pirates and many criminal incidents on the sea, it always had a resigned attitude and rarely took the initiative to attack and clean up. This is why the world before the Age of Rocks was much darker than it is now."

"The Navy at that time was a real lackey under the World Government. What they did every day was either helping the Celestial Dragons to have fun, or helping the World Government suppress those countries that did not pay the Heavenly Gold."

"When Garp and I first joined the Navy, we also had the idea of ​​changing the Navy and making it more just and kind."

"Why don't you stand up on your own, or simply become pirates, to enforce our justice? That's because the navy is too big, and it's too difficult to stand on its opposite side to enforce justice. We can't get the vast majority of the world's After all, the world government is the main political power in this world. If you go against a world leader, it will be more difficult to do things. Therefore, some of us at that time wanted to change this violence from within. Institution, let it gradually transform into a true guardian of justice."

"We are not the builders of the Navy ship, but if we are the helmsman of this ship, we have the right to choose the direction in which it sails. This is what we thought at the time."

"Facts have proven that after generations of people fighting hard for decades, the Navy has indeed undergone tremendous changes. Although it still has to obey the orders of the World Government, marshals, generals, and even lieutenants have all chosen to practice their own The power to exercise justice can lead to a different path of justice, and the ability to take the initiative to fight crime and pirates is part of the change that our countless heroic warriors have fought for with their blood."

"So, it's not turning a blind eye or helping others, but it has been quietly changing and influencing silently. It's just that the size of the world government is too large and its control over the world is too strong. As a result, in some major events, the navy has to Follow orders, otherwise, even me, even Garp, Sengoku, Porusalino, and Kuzan will all be replaced. So, look at that guy Porusalino, who is lazy on the surface, but actually in his heart It has been very painful, and I have been struggling in my heart whether what I insist on is true justice."

Saying that, Zefa let out a long sigh.

"It's not just Porusalino, Sakaski, Kuzan, me, Garp, and now you, it's actually like this. We both doubt the justice we are practicing now, and we keep our heads down. Do what you think is the right thing to do. Everyone is trying hard, but they are full of confusion and pain."

"Dorag believed that the change process took too long, so he chose a more radical approach, defecting directly to go against the World Government. Sakaski chose to be completely obedient, thereby gaining the greatest power support from the Five Old Stars. We are going crazy to kill all the pirates we can catch, trying to speed up the process."

"This is the Navy, this is Navy justice."

"This is also the reason why the world government is becoming more and more uneasy about the growth of our navy, and is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Garp and me. Because it is us who have made the current navy become more and more dissatisfied. Obedient."

In the cell, Luo Xia listened quietly to Zefa's story, and her thoughts couldn't help but swirl in her heart.

It turns out that everyone has always known it and is moving forward using what they think is the correct method.

Even Roger's purpose of starting the Great Pirate Age was nothing more than to muddy the sea so that the savior Nika could fish in troubled waters, unify the power of all pirates, and finally do the same thing as Dorag and Rorschach.

It's just the different concepts and methods used that lead to the current opposition and conflicts, as well as a lot of misunderstanding.

After Zefa finished speaking, he fell into silence for a long time.

After a long time, he looked at Rorschach and asked in a tired voice: "Rorschach, do you really choose to stay in the navy? If, if you want..."

"teacher!"

Luo Xia interrupted Zefa's words, looked into Zefa's eyes, and said seriously: "Since I chose to join the navy, I will not leave so easily. I will fulfill your unfinished wish, teacher, and become a member of the navy." Take the helm and guide it to the right future!”

The young man's face glowed with unprecedented confidence as he looked at his most respected teacher.

"Teacher Zefa, do you believe me?"

Zefa stared blankly at the young man in the cell.

Even if the navy treated him like this, he did not choose to follow the same path as Dorag.

The corners of Zefa's eyes suddenly became moist.

At this moment, Rorschach's voice repeated in his ears again.

Zefa could hear some inner hesitation in his voice.

"Teacher Zefa, do you believe me?"

Zefa smiled, very happily.

He nodded heavily and affirmed:

"I believe in you, Luo Xia. If you say it, you will definitely be able to do it! You are my most proud disciple, Zefa!"
