Chapter 147 The King Shichibukai Who Fell Prematurely

"Science Force? Zefa, what are you doing with Dr. Vegapunk?" In Marine Headquarters, in the Marshal's Office of Marine Fando, Warring States looked at the energetic Zefa in surprise. Zefa had been back at the Navy Headquarters for several days. However, he has been busy with official duties, and I heard that Zefa has been moving around a lot in the past few days. This is the first time we have met since the last time we said goodbye.

As soon as they met, he noticed the difference in Zefa.

The appearance is still the same as before, but the temperament of his body has undergone earth-shaking changes. The spirit of the whole person is completely different from before. The moment he saw it for the first time, he suddenly felt like he was back in time. Decades ago, back to the time when they were high-spirited.

At that time, Zefa was so high-spirited.

Unfortunately, since Zefa's family was killed, he has never seen the Zefa in his memory again.

"I want to ask you something, Warring States. What's so difficult about this?"

Zefa asked rhetorically.

"Yes, yes, but... In addition to the protection of the scientific force, even if I want to see Dr. Vegapunk, I need to submit an invitation. It is best to explain what is going on... Ze Fa, what do you want from Dr. Vegapunk?" Warring States said as he flipped through the drawer and took out a stack of application forms.

"You still have to fill out a form? It's really troublesome..."

Zefa took the application form, glanced at it twice, took out a signature pen from the Warring States pen holder, sat down on the sofa with the application form, leaned over the coffee table and started filling out the form. He has already developed the ability to write with his left hand. In other words, with his control over the muscles of his body, he does not need to practice hard to write with his left hand. "The reason for applying for a meeting...Customized prosthetic limbs? Dr. Vegapunk has Time?"

He looked up at Sengoku and asked.

"Prosthetic limb..." Warring States was stunned for a moment, not expecting this to be the reason. Zefa lost an arm a few years ago. When he was recuperating in the hospital, he mentioned that he would help install a prosthetic limb for him, but he was Zefa refused at the time.

Later, Warring States and others also asked a few circumstantial questions, and after receiving a unanimous rejection, no one mentioned it again.

Unexpectedly, Zefa would bring it up now.

"If you want to install a prosthetic limb, the hospital..."

"I want the best."

Zefa interrupted Warring States. He put down the pen in his hand and wiped the wound on his broken arm. He looked at Warring States and said seriously: "The prosthetic limbs in the hospital are not durable. I want to restore my strength as much as possible. If Dr. Vegapunk has time, I hope to ask him to customize my prosthetic limb."

Strictly speaking, this requirement is not excessive.

After all, Zefa is also a former general of the navy. He still retains the rank of general and enjoys all the benefits of generals.

only,

The problem is that Dr. Vegapunk is nominally affiliated with the Naval Science Force, but in fact, Marshal Sengoku is not able to handle this force very well, and his control is quite limited, especially Dr. Vegapunk, let alone him. Can be commanded.

so,

He could not make any promises to Zefa's request.

"I will send the application form to Dr. Vegapunk as soon as possible, but... Zefa, don't have high expectations. Dr. Vegapunk is currently obsessed with studying Bartholomew Bear. The ability of the Devil Fruit may not grant your request." Sengoku said slowly.

"Dr. Vegapunk may not refuse to help a former navy admiral regain his strength as much as possible."

Zefa had a different opinion.

Although he had no contact with Dr. Vegapunk, as the chief instructor of new recruits at the Navy Headquarters, his connections were so amazing that it didn’t take much effort to contact a group of people who were related to Dr. Vegapunk for various reasons. A naval officer who had come into contact with him.

From these people, he pieced together a general impression of Dr. Vegapunk - an idiot obsessed with scientific research.

Rather than promising any benefits, an interesting enough study would attract Dr. Vegapunk's attention more.

"...That's true."

After what Zefa said, Warring States also realized the character of Dr. Vegapunk. Perhaps Zefa's request could really be realized. After all, helping Zefa make prosthetic limbs would give him the opportunity to study a master at the level of a naval admiral.

Even if Porusalino helped Zefa with experiments, there would never be too much experimental data at the admiral level.

"Then it's up to you, Sengoku."

Zefa completed the application form and placed it on Sengoku's desk along with the signature pen.

"Zefa, you...you have changed!" Warring States did not read the words on the paper, but stared at Zefa intently, as if he wanted to see through Zefa's mind.

"Haha! I thought you could resist asking!"

Zefa laughed twice.

"I've heard this a lot recently. Ahe asked, Garp asked, and even Kuzan asked him a lot of questions, which made my head spin." He sat down on the sofa again. , picked up the tea that was no longer hot, and drank it all in one gulp without caring. In the past, he would not drink such cold tea for the sake of his health.

Warring States saw all this.

"Have you recovered from your illness?"

"Yes, it has been completely eradicated. As for how it was done...it was the court doctor of the Kingdom of Exmundo. More than a dozen doctors said that it could not be cured and could only be suppressed with medicine. They prescribed a lot of He gave me the medicine, but I forgot the order when I drank it, so I drank it all in one go, and... I was cured."

"...You guy!"

Sengoku sighed.

This is coaxing a child!

How could there be such a coincidence? But he also gave up on getting to the bottom of it. Zefa didn't hesitate to use such a clumsy lie to hide it. It was equivalent to making it clear that he didn't want to tell others the truth, and even if he pursued him, he might not be able to get it out of Zefa's mouth. Come out with the secret behind it.

As an old friend, he was so familiar with Zefa's stubbornness.

"As long as it doesn't have anything to do with the results of the surgery."

Warring States looked at Zefa deeply.

Surgical Fruit, this thing is what the world government has been pursuing. If used by people with enough talent, the Surgical Fruit can give humans "eternal life", which is the so-called immortality surgery. Although there are various difficulties in it, it is not just a random operation. can do it.

But even so, the World Government is still pursuing this thing feverishly. To this day, the World Government still has a bounty of 5 billion Beli. As long as the fruit of the operation can be found and handed over to the World Government, you can get 5 billion Beli. inside.

This price is almost equal to Whitebeard's bounty.

"Surgery fruit? I have never seen that kind of thing, and I have never encountered anyone with the ability to have surgery fruits, if there is one." Zefa's attitude was very calm.

Warring States slightly nodded.

He just asked casually, he just suddenly thought of it, but he didn't really suspect anything.

"I'll leave the matter of my prosthetic limb to you, Sengoku." Zefa stood up, said goodbye to Sengoku and left. After walking out of the marshal's office, Binz, who was waiting in the corridor, said quietly Followed behind Zefa.

Binz followed closely behind Zefa and said quietly: "Teacher, there is new news in the new world."

"Let's talk later."

Zefa stopped Binz's next words.

This is the Navy Headquarters, the heart center of millions of naval forces. The security is extremely tight. Not to mention the hidden monitors, there are also a large number of image phone bugs installed in many places in the building for surveillance.

Even though it is impossible to record the voice clearly, there are many talented people in the Navy Headquarters, and there are more than one masters of the art of lip reading.

Zefa and Binzi quickly walked out of this heavily guarded building. When they passed by an empty school field, Zefa stopped, stared at the deserted school field, and said: "Elwu What's wrong with that boy?"

His cooperation with Elus was not hidden from Ein and Binz.

These two most loyal students did not disappoint Zefa. Compared with the navy, they trusted Zefa. Even though Zefa said that he wanted to kick Warring States off the throne of marshal, he went to sit in that seat himself. Ain and Binz dared to stab Sengoku.

Ain and Binz are Zefa's students and his confidants.

besides,

News of the new world, this is also a code.

If Ain had something to report, Binz would directly say Ain's name. The New World was not referring to Ain, but to Elus.

"It has something to do with Sand Crocodile Crocodile. During the previous World Conference, Prince Eleus sent an attendant to Alabasta with King Kobra. Just now Crocodile was defeated and escaped with injuries. After the incident spreads, the world government and navy may remove King Crocodile's status as the Shichibukai..."

"Wait, Crocodile escaped? What happened? Tell me in detail."

Binz paused. Fortunately, Eleus explained it clearly enough when he contacted him. He sorted out his thoughts for a while and said: "About noon today, the Dylan of Prince Eleus, nicknamed The one who is the executioner, he went to war with Crocodile in the Kingdom of Alabasta..."

Push time forward a little.

The Kingdom of Alabasta, in the desert outside the Rainlands.

The battle between Dylan and the Baroque Working Society became intense. At first, Dylan, who was disgraced because of the strange abilities of the ability users of the Baroque Working Society, regrouped after finding out the specific abilities of the enemy. gained the upper hand.

This is not surprising at all.

The gap in hard power is too big. Although the abilities of several espers of Baroque Works are weird, they are not enough to make Dylan lose the ability to resist directly. With the powerful vitality and recovery power of the animal devil fruit, coupled with exercise, To the extremely high level of armed domineering, his counterattack is so powerful.

In his opinion, the most troublesome miss. Golden Week was the first to be defeated by Dylan. The girl's strength was all in her fruit ability, and her own fighting ability was not worth mentioning. She was in the state of a teenage girl. There is nothing special about it.

The second person to fall was Robin.

The Blossom Fruit's ability couldn't kill Dylan, but it could always disrupt his rhythm in battle, so he knocked down Robin second.

Without the constraints of these two people, Dylan was finally able to use full firepower and withstand Crocodile's attack, knocking down the cadres of Baroque Working Society one by one. Under this gap like a chasm, these cadres faced He couldn't even block Dylan's fist.

soon,

Just before Princess Vivi, Ikarem and others had recovered from the initial heart-wrenching state of Dylan's defeat, all the senior agents of Baroque Works, who seemed to be highly skilled, were defeated. Crocodile, the big boss codenamed mr.0, was left behind.

"I heard that you have also been to the New World. Why don't you practice your Haki?"

Dylan waved his fist and beat MR.1 completely until he fainted. At the same time, he looked at Crocodile opposite and asked questions.

"Sha Lan."

Crocodile did not intend to talk to Dylan at all. The sand crocodile with a tenacious character did not choose to give up. Even though he knew that the odds of winning were slim, Crocodile continued to fight. He keenly discovered that Dylan had been in the previous battle. Lun intentionally or unintentionally allowed all the aftermath of the battle to avoid Princess Weiwei and her group.

He knew immediately that this might be his only chance.

Instead of choosing a more lethal move, he used a large-scale attack like Sha Lan.

The sandstorm that escaped Crocodile's hand grew at an alarming speed. This powerful attack that could destroy an oasis rushed towards Princess Weiwei and her party.

"Cunning guy."

Dylan frowned. He threw away the MR.1 in his hand. The attack plan against Crocodile that he had already sketched out in his mind was forced to give up. He moved as quickly as possible to Princess Weiwei and the others. In front of him, he directly transformed into an Elastodon, using his physical body to bear the attack of Sand Storm.

First, the Kingdom of Alabasta is an important ally.

Secondly, after being in contact with each other these days, he also respects this kind-hearted princess. He feels that it is better to have more such a kind-hearted ruler, so in public and private matters, no matter from which point of view, he They don't want to see Princess Weiwei get hurt.

Sha Lan was blocked by Dylan.

Crocodile turned into quicksand and hid in the sand storm. He brandished a poisonous golden hook and stabbed Dylan fiercely. However... Dylan, who was covered in armed domineering aura, was not poisoned. , the golden hook was broken by his neck.

In Crocodile's astonished eyes, Dylan punched the cunning crocodile unceremoniously.

Crocodile, who was beaten until he vomited blood, finally admitted his defeat. He didn't even care about his subordinates and fled away in elemental form. Dylan chased for a while but failed to catch up. The desert environment was very favorable to Crocodile. , and worried that Princess Weiwei and others would be beaten back, he finally gave up the pursuit of Crocodile.
