Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 174

"Boy, I know about your attacks on Mary Geoise and Marineford. Now that you've arrived in the New World, what are you planning to do next? Are you going to challenge the Four Emperors and become the fifth Emperor of this sea?"

"If I said yes, what would Mr. Zephyr do?"

Ron smiled at him.

Zephyr gripped the massive crusher in his right hand and sneered, "Then I will ruthlessly destroy this ship, and then crush your legs."

"That's really bad."

Ron smiled and handed him a bottle of wine.

"Fortunately, I have no interest in becoming the fifth emperor, so it seems I won't have to be your enemy, Mr. Zefa."

"You don't intend to become the Fifth Emperor?"

Zephyr's eyes widened. "Don't tell me your goal is the position of the Pirate King."

Ron was somewhat helpless.

152, go settle the score with Doflamingo.

Before he could say anything, Zephyr had already reached out and taken the bottle of wine from him.

"No need to answer. I know you're not interested in that position; you were just saying it offhand."

As he spoke, he crushed the bottle neck and poured the wine into his mouth.

"Ron, you should know I hate pirates to the core, right?"

"Ah."

Ron knew, of course, that Zephyr's wife and children had died at the hands of pirates.

"There are many scoundrels among pirates, who attach themselves to the strong and bully the weak; they are everywhere," Zephyr said in a deep voice. "If you become a powerful pirate, even if you do nothing, many pirates will still admire and attach themselves to you. Whether you admit it or not, they will use your reputation to do whatever they want and commit all sorts of evil deeds, because you are pirates, the representatives of evil on the sea, a group that gathers evil. A false reputation will attract real evil. It will take root and sprout in some place you can't even imagine, growing into a dark flower of sin."

"Even if you do nothing, you may still bring enormous disasters to some innocent people that they cannot bear."

As Zefa spoke, he took another large gulp of wine and muttered to himself as if talking to himself:

"It's fine as it is now. As a traveler, even if you attacked Marineford and Mary Geoise and became an unforgivable criminal by the World Government, I would not feel disappointed or angry with you. Just... don't become a pirate."

Ron took a sip of his drink, seemingly lost in thought about what Zephat had said.

A hero is someone who can save others and the weak in times of crisis.

Protecting the lofty world government was never something Zeffa would consider or care about.

His eyes were always fixed on the weak and vulnerable people.

In Zephyr's eyes, most pirates are bad, and their existence is a disaster for the people. Even if there are some special ones, it is still difficult to change the nature of this group.

A large pirate crew often gathers countless smaller pirates around it. The large pirate crew may not do evil, but what about the smaller pirate crews? The Arlong Pirates alone can swagger around in the East Blue. What kind of evil can those small pirate crews with malicious intentions commit by relying on the powerful pirates behind them?

The word "pirate," representing evil, becomes even more intimidating with the emergence of powerful pirates! It instills fear and dread in ordinary people, and emboldens malicious pirates to commit even more heinous acts.

This is something Zephyr cannot tolerate.

Anyone who is a pirate, whether good or bad, weak or strong, is his enemy.

He didn't want Ron to become a pirate, which is why he came to see him today.

Ron and Zephyr both drank in silence, and the three of them remained silent for a while.

"correct!"

Ayn suddenly remembered something and immediately said to Ron, "Ron, you probably need to leave here quickly. News of your presence in this sea area has already spread, and the Navy should be making a move soon. They might already be heading this way."

Zephyr snapped out of his daze and nodded to Ron, saying, "This time the Navy is serious; Aokiji and Kizaru are both here."

"Two generals have been dispatched...?"

Ron frowned slightly, then released his Observation Haki, which covered an area of ​​tens of thousands of meters, and immediately spotted several warships approaching.

"Already here."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Zephyr and Ain's expressions immediately froze.

Zephyr unleashed his Observation Haki, but sensed nothing.

"Kid, what's the range of your Observation Haki?"

"It's roughly 60,000 meters in radius."

"!!"

Zephyr and Ein stared wide-eyed, speechless.

"Observation Haki's range can be this vast? Are you a monster?!"

"incredible!!"

"I'll take it as a compliment."

"Since the Navy is here, you should leave quickly. Use your Float-Float Fruit powers to float away from the sky," Ain said hastily, snapping out of her daze.

Ron pondered for a few seconds after hearing this: "Since the Navy knows my abilities, why would they choose to surround and kill me, and even send two admirals? They might have come prepared. It might not be safe in the air either."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Zefa, who was wearing a black coat, asked."

"I can leave first and lure them away; their main target should still be me."

As Ron spoke, he used his consciousness to check the system's sea chart and confirm his location. When he 'saw' the name of an island on the sea chart, he was first taken aback, and then the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

"Old man Zefa, would you like to come with me somewhere?"

"where?"

Dressrosa.

Upon hearing this name, Ai Yin's eyes narrowed sharply.

Zefa's gaze sharpened, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.

He gripped the bottle, making a crunching sound, and spat out a name almost through gritted teeth.

"Doflamingo..."

Ain, her eyes also filled with anger and hatred towards that Heavenly Demon, looked at Ron with an extremely serious expression:

"Ron, what are you planning to do in Dressrosa?"

"doing what?"

Ron gently placed his hand on the hilt of the black sword at his waist and said calmly, "Naturally, I'm going to settle the score with that guy Doflamingo from back then."

"It's not your place to settle accounts with him; I'm the one who should be settling scores with him," Zephyr said in a deep voice, looking at him. "But do you know why I haven't made a move against him all these years?"

"It's not because I cherish my old life, but because Doflamingo is not so easy to deal with. The forces and influence he involves are too great, and there are huge shadows behind him. He is far more than just a Shichibukai. He is now the King of Dressrosa. If we make a move against him, the entire Dressrosa will be thrown into turmoil..."

"I know all this."

Ron, with his eyes closed, slowly stood up and said calmly, "But what does that have to do with me settling scores with him?"

Zefa only remembered it at this moment.

This guy in front of me is the kind of guy who dared to attack Mary Geoise—he's incredibly audacious!

Do what you want to do; if you can't do it right now, wait until you can.

How could a guy like him possibly care about the consequences?!

The things I've been worried about probably don't amount to much in his eyes...

What a crazy guy...

Zefa grinned, his previously hesitant heart finally hardening at that moment.

"Alright, I'll go to Dressrosa with you and settle the old score with Doflamingo."

"I am coming too!"

Ayn said with a determined look, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

She has never forgotten the scene from that day!

153, Level 5 Conqueror's Haki! Earth-shattering!

At this moment, the warships drew closer and their heads emerged on the distant horizon.

"It's getting closer and closer."

Upon hearing his words, Zephyr and Ain both stood up from their seats and looked in that direction.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Kuina came out of the cabin, saw this scene, and asked Ron in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Aokiji and Kizaru are coming soon."

Guina's expression immediately froze.

"Kizaru and Aokiji together? Came for us?"
