Chapter 133 The Road to Revenge, 1
The wandering life at sea is actually not comfortable, even if you are aboard the navy's best active warships. The pirate guerrilla warships come from the navy headquarters. Not to mention ordinary sailors, senior officers like Ain, well, In terms of military rank, she is only a mid-level officer, but she serves as Zefa's student and secretary.
Her status is actually below one person and above the others.
So Ain enjoys the living conditions of a senior officer on the ship. She has a private room with a bathroom and toilet, and even a small refrigerator in the corner of the room. However, the total area of the room is only 20 Square meters, of course, this is a luxury compared to a pigeon cage with six crew members crammed into one room, which may be able to accommodate more people depending on the situation.
But no matter how you say it, for a young girl, such a small living space cannot be said to be very comfortable. She has to take time to take a bath every day, and hot water is not in unlimited supply. Sometimes I couldn't even take a shower for many days.
If it weren't for her faith and ideals supporting her, if it weren't for the teacher who still straightened her back, standing on the deck like an unshakable flag, Ain might have left the navy after surviving that nightmarish incident. .
that matter,
It was her lingering nightmare.
The faces of so many friends always appeared in his sleep, which made her sleep quality not very good. She had another dream during her nap today and saw the familiar face that she had never forgotten, and she could not sleep anymore. At that time, Zefa sent someone to look for her. When she came to the deck to see the teacher, she learned a piece of news that made her fall into a huge confusion at this moment.
"Teacher, are you telling the truth? Have you really found out... the whereabouts of that guy?"
Standing on the deck, Ain felt like she was in a dream. She wondered if she had been overworked recently, which caused her to hallucinate. She calmly stabbed the tiger's mouth with her nails, and the sharp stinging dissipated. Her escape mentality was not a dream.
"It's Elus. His people discovered that guy's whereabouts."
Zefa understands the students' unsettled emotions.
Isn't he the same? The storm in his heart has not subsided yet. He relied on his strong perseverance accumulated over the years to suppress all the fluctuations on the surface, and tried his best to maintain the calmness and wisdom needed by a commander.
As the supreme commander of the pirate guerrillas, he is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of sailors under his command.
Yes, the size of the pirate guerrillas has expanded.
From the initial 6,000 people to the current tens of thousands, with the enthusiastic support of Elus, the size of the pirate guerrillas continues to expand. More than half of the supplementary soldiers come from the Kingdom of Exmundo, and even Many people were originally members of the Navy of the Kingdom of Ekmundo.
Elvus's little tricks couldn't be hidden from Commander Zefa.
However, Zefa did not restrict this. He did not know what Elus's true purpose was, but as long as Elus's identity remained unchanged, as long as Eleus was still the prince or the prince of the country that joined the World Government. The king, as long as these subordinates can wholeheartedly fight against pirates, he doesn't care about such small actions.
As for whether Elus's true purpose will have any adverse impact on the World Government or the Navy.
to be honest,
The old man no longer cares very much. From the first day he joined the Navy, he has not had the slightest fondness for the World Government, the Holy Land, or the superior Celestial Dragons. The only Navy that made him give his sincerity has also repeatedly let him down over the years. Disappointed, especially the appearance of the bullshit King Shichibukai.
A group of legal pirates?
This is simply humiliating.
He had quarreled with Warring States many times over this, and he still feels resentful about it.
The navy... is no longer the navy he joined back then. Zefa scratched his head, his fingers scraping from his scalp like a comb. His short purple hair was raised high. His hair was of good quality. The body is not as tough as that bastard Garp, but the hair still maintains the luster of his youth.
"Teacher, are you sure you read it correctly? Over the years...the navy has not made any discoveries..."
"That damn guy is in the New World."
After hearing Zefa's explanation, Ain closed his mouth.
New World... This is the best explanation. The New World itself is full of fog. In addition, there are many powerful countries and forces on this sea that have not joined the World Government. For example, Wano Country has samurai. Our country has never submitted to the rule of a world government.
The navy's foundation in the new world is so weak. Just monitoring the movements of the four emperors has taken up most of the navy's resources in the new world. Finding someone with the remaining manpower is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
In contrast,
Elus is the undisputed overlord of the new world.
He has always maintained a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates. Although the relationship with Big Mom is bad, Big Mom, who recognizes the Black Prince's strength, will not easily provoke him. Kaido also has this preference. The suicidal madman seemed to have reached an unknown deal with Elus, and the Beast Pirates gave up the war with the Kingdom of Exmundo...
In short, after clearing all the obstacles, Elus's shipping network is getting bigger and bigger in the New World. Even the World Economic News Agency dare not say that it can receive goods faster than Elus. The latest information about a certain place.
Just because the Navy hasn't found that guy's whereabouts for so many years doesn't mean that Eleus can't find him.
Although this discovery was indeed an accident.
But if you really want to think about it, this so-called meaning is not a real accident. The expansion of the shipping network has not stopped. He will not invade the territorial waters of the four emperors, but no one can stop him from rushing towards the Black Thorn Flower Island. This type of area was originally located on the edge of human activity areas.
Even if this accident hadn't happened, sooner or later the fleet flying the golden coffee tree flag would land on Blackthorn Flower Island.
This is the inevitable result.
It was just accidentally triggered in advance.
"Ain, get ready. Let's go to Bikaxi Island first." Zefa looked at the sea, and the sunglasses hanging on his face made it impossible to see the changes in his eyes. "Nearly six years have passed, and finally we can see Hope comes." His sigh was blown away by the sea breeze.
But the sea breeze cannot extinguish the burning inner fire.
I'm afraid that even if you pour all the water from the world, you can't extinguish the flames of anger, regret, and self-blame in Zefa's heart.
"Binzi is still on Obilu Island."
Ain warned.
"Contact him using the phone bug and ask him to go directly to Bikasi Island to meet us."

Black Thorn Flower Island.
This is a little-known island. Not only it, but also the sea area where it is located is so inconspicuous. Except for the local residents, even the residents in the adjacent sea area do not know the names of the neighbors next to it. Paradise is different.
The sea in the New World is partly natural and partly man-made, divided into sea areas with different styles. For example, the juice sea area on the territory of the Big Mom Pirates. The juice-like sea water gives it an extremely unique scenery.
There is also the toothed whale sea area of the Kingdom of Exmundo. The reason why it is called this is not only because the three islands of the whale head, whale belly, and whale tail look like a whale when connected, but the main reason is that there are many islands in this sea area. There are a wide variety of toothed whales, from the gentle white dolphin to the triangular beluga that can easily knock over a large battleship... This is a paradise for toothed whales.
The sea area where Black Thorn Flower Island is located is called the ‘Black Sea Sea Area’.
Black algae is a unique species in this sea area. This special seaweed secretes a layer of black oil on the surface, which is amazingly sticky and corrosive. It is not only unfriendly to living creatures, but also to ships. Will be attacked by these algae.
In history, there are also some people who have been whimsical and tried to study the benefits of these black algae. Unfortunately, from the fact that the black algae sea area is still an inconspicuous and remote place, it can be seen that those researchers must have failed. These inexhaustible black algae are causing harm. The creatures of the sea and the passing ships on the sea.
Fortunately, over the years, people have not discovered the beneficial uses of black algae, but they have also figured out some techniques to protect ships from being corroded by the black oil secreted by black algae.
"Coating technology? This technology has many uses."
Elus stood at the stern of the ship and looked at the battleships following the flagship. The bottoms of these battleships were all covered by a translucent film, including the flagship under his feet, which also had the same membrane. Protective film to prevent sudden attacks from the sea.
It is interesting to say that black algae are plants and do not possess any intelligence, but their survival instinct makes them constantly attack and prey on all possible targets. Even the warships passing by on the sea are these thousands of long Meter giant plant prey.
Yes, you read that right. The shortest length of this damned plant is three to four hundred meters. There is no reliable data on how long it can grow. Only records of 10,000-meter-long black algae were found in some local materials.
"This is just a degraded technique. The complete coating technology can withstand heavy water pressure below 10,000 meters. This degraded version can prevent kerosene or other corrosive liquids from causing damage to the warship."
Zefa stood beside Elus.
After they met at Bikaxi Island, under Zefa's urging, a joint fleet composed of pirate guerrillas and the Navy of the Kingdom of Ekmundo soon sailed towards the Black Sea Sea, guided by Farug's life card. Next, except when it had to stop to replenish fresh water and other supplies, the fleet continued all the way, crossing the vast sea at the fastest speed and arriving at this sea area.
"However, there are few opportunities to make such preparations in actual battles. Battles at sea are often encounters, and there is no time to make such preparations. It can only be used to avoid certain natural disasters in situations like now. It can come in handy when the time comes.”
The craftsmen who coated the bottom of the ship were from the pirate guerrillas.
This technology was originally developed by the Navy's scientific force based on the coating technology of the Chambord Islands.
Zefa has done enough homework for this operation. He has brought all the technical arms of the pirate guerrillas. No matter what kind of unexpected situation occurs, he is confident enough to overcome it. Of course, he can reach the destination smoothly. the best.
"... There's black algae appearing... It's a big one! It secretes so much grease that even a piece of steel will be corroded quickly. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is very harmful to the protective film. It's of no use." Zefa kept saying.
Elus: "······"
"Here we go again, this is the sorrow of being without wisdom. You are obviously doing useless work, but you don't know how to give up..."
Elus: "······"
"The weather doesn't look good. There may be a storm tonight. Prince Elus, how far is it from the Blackthorn Flower Island? If we can't arrive before the storm arrives, we need to find a way to deal with the storm. The coating on the bottom of the ship can prevent the corrosion of black algae oil, but it cannot stop the impact of waves caused by storms."
"...Instructor Zefa, are you nervous?"
Elvus finally took the opportunity to speak. He did not answer Zefa's question, but instead questioned Zefa's state.
"Nervous? How is that possible?"
Zefa flatly denied it.
"Okay! Then I'll treat you as a chatterbox today." Elus didn't argue, just shrugged, and casually added another strange persona to Zefa.
Talkative······
After being told this, Zefa suddenly fell silent.
After his overheated brain cooled down, he realized how abnormal his state just now was. He did talk a lot. After all, he had served as the chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters. He had educated so many students, and he couldn't do it if he didn't know how to speak.
It's just that he never showed off his speaking skills outside of the classroom.
This is the first time it has gotten out of control like this.
"If you don't like killing, there is no need to force yourself to do such a thing. Handing it over to our country's judges will give him the punishment he deserves." Elus enlightened.
"It has nothing to do with this matter...I can't say it has nothing to do with it at all, but I have made up my mind. I will personally judge that damn bastard." Zefa clenched his fists, with an aura as powerful as a towering mountain. Released.
"It's fine if nothing happens. Although I've helped you get rid of the bad disease, don't forget your age. Feelings of great sadness and joy are not good for your body. I don't want to scatter your ashes into the sea so early. By the way, Are you really not going to send your ashes back to your hometown when you die?"
The topic inexplicably turned to matters after death.
Zefa's brewing emotions were completely destroyed, and he just wanted to punch this little bastard Elvus hard. He's not dead yet! There are ashes in every mouth and ashes, and the ashes can be revived even after death.
