Chapter 60 I Want to See It Again

Although Zephyr had long since left the front line and resigned from the position of the general of the headquarters, he still kept a certain amount of attention on legendary pirates like Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion.

After all, Zephyr had fought with this group of guys many times and knew how dangerous they were to the sea.

"Are you sure they want to meet?"

Zeffer frowned and his face was extremely solemn.

Unlike the ambitious guy like Golden Lion, neither Roger nor Whitebeard had the ambition to dominate the world.

After the Battle of God Valley, the two of them had many conflicts, and each battle caused extremely terrifying movements, and even had exaggerated records of tearing up land plates and sinking small islands.

Even so, most of the conflicts between Roger and Whitebeard were impulsive, either because they were happy to see the prey, or because of their will. There was no life-and-death hatred, which led to a very subtle relationship between the two pirate groups.

Because of this, Roger and Whitebeard also had a sense of mutual respect and recognition.

If Roger's encounter with Golden Lion is likely to be a life-and-death battle, his encounter with Whitebeard is hard to say.

What if those two guys reach a consensus and unite...

Zhan Guo pinched his temple and pondered:

"The specific situation is not clear, but the route instructions are indeed like this... The government has begun to be vigilant."

"After the Battle of God Valley, Roger has been running around the world for these years... The Five Elders have begun to suspect that Roger knows something and is looking for something."

When he said this, a sharp light flashed across the lenses of Zhan Guo's black-framed glasses.

"So Zefa, you understand... I have to go to the New World in person and meet up with Garp."

"Although the probability of Roger and Whitebeard forming an alliance is very low, if something unexpected really happens, Garp will not be isolated and helpless."

"After all, Garp alone cannot face those two crazy guys at the same time."

Zeff was silent for a while, shook his head and said:

"The probability of them joining forces is not high. If Roger really wants to find something, Whitebeard will definitely not get involved in this mess."

"I have fought with Whitebeard many times, and that guy... doesn't have much ambition."

"He just wants to protect his "family" there."

Zengoku glanced at Zefa and sighed:

"I hope it's a false alarm, but no matter what, I have to make corresponding plans in advance."

"I will take away most of the combat power, including Borsalino... If there is really no other way, I am not willing to ask Darren to carry out this dangerous mission."

"Let's talk about this, I have to leave."

After saying this, Sengoku stood up and walked out the door.

But just as he was about to leave the office, he stopped.

"Zefa, I was serious about what I said to you last time."

Zhan Guo turned his back to Zefa, and the dark word "justice" on his thick navy cloak looked heavy.

"This era doesn't leave us much time."

"Especially at times like this, I really need my comrades to stand by my side and fight side by side with me."

Zefa stared blankly at Zhan Guo's slightly tired back, at the snow-white sacred cloak, and after a long silence, he shook his head and smiled:

"Zhan Guo, I have always fought side by side with you, haven't I?"

Zhan Guo was startled, and then he understood what Zefa meant.

He stopped talking.

He just strode out of the door.

Walking on the road leading to the naval port, the dazzling sunlight fell, and Zhan Guo felt extremely heavy.

Zefa... are you really willing?

The "black wrist" that was once famous in the sea should not be buried in that shabby teaching building, right?

Actually, I understand what you mean.

What you want to say is that you will spend the rest of your life in the military academy, and place your hopes on the younger generation...

This is your explanation to "justice" and the navy.

This is also the way you fight side by side with your former comrades.

Even if you are not by my and Garp's side.

But...

Zhan Guo let out a long breath, raised his head, and his eyes were blinded by the scorching sun.

He clenched his fists very tightly.

"I really want to see you again when you were full of vigor and led the navy to charge..."

He murmured.

————

The warship broke through the waves at a steady speed, dragging a white trail on the vast and endless sea.

On the deck, Sakaski stood at the bow with his arms folded across his chest, looking gloomily at the end of the intersection of the sky and the sea.

He had a lit cigar in his mouth, and the smoke of the cigar was blown up by the sea breeze and annihilated in the fluttering of the cloak of justice.

"So, what is the mission target this time?"

Darren walked slowly to Sakaski's side, stood side by side with him, and also lit a cigar.

Sakaski took an intelligence document from a young navy and handed it to Darren.

"Half a month ago, a major event happened in the 'Endless War Country' located in the Grand Line."

His tone was cold and stiff.

"In this country that has been at war for many years, tens of thousands of troops were killed overnight, and the entire country was burned down. No one, whether nobles or civilians, was spared..."

"The World Government was shocked when they heard the news. At first, they thought that the country had been attacked by a pirate like the 'World Destroyer' Bondi Waldo. After all, those who have the power to destroy a country are usually large pirates."

"But after our navy's investigation, we found a shocking truth."

Sakaski's mouth curled up with a cold smile.

"It was not some vicious pirate or the dark forces of the underground world that destroyed this military power, but a soldier."

"A soldier from the army of the 'Endless War Country'."

Darren slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the young man in military uniform and long golden hair in the photo on the intelligence file, squinted his eyes and continued Sakaski's words:

"-Douglas Barrett."

I guessed it right.

The pirate who has the destructive power not inferior to Bondi Waldo, who can make Sengoku and Sakaski afraid, and who appeared in this time period...

There is only Douglas Barrett.

This is a member of Roger's pirate group in the original story, and is said to be a "Devil's descendant" who can fight Pluto Rayleigh to a draw.

I just don't know how strong this guy is now?
