Chapter 392 Just a Chip
Chapter 392 Just a Chip
In general, this person's strength is above that of elite vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters and ordinary division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, but slightly inferior to Marine admirals. His strength is comparable to that of Vista, Jozu, and others, placing him in the same tier.
However, this person is relatively simple-minded and lacks the ability to think and judge independently. This makes him an easily manipulated character; whoever becomes his leader can easily determine his behavior and personality.
For example, if he were to recognize Baggins Stussy as his mother, he would be completely obedient to her, carrying out whatever she asked without hesitation. In this scenario, he could very well become a wicked person, since Baggins Stussy might not be a kind one.
Conversely, if he recognizes Garp as his father, he will be influenced by Garp's ideals of justice and become a vanguard of justice in the Navy. In this case, he will uphold the principles of justice and fight against evil forces.
Furthermore, if he obeys Aini's orders, he will become Aini's most loyal henchman. Aini can make full use of his strength and use him for his own purposes.
Such a subordinate is undoubtedly extremely valuable. He can play a vital role both in battle and in other aspects. Therefore, anyone who sees such a subordinate would be eager to have him, and this person himself is also very envious of such an opportunity.
However, that's not all. This person also has another important use: to persuade Zephyr. Zephyr is a former Marine Admiral, known as "Black Arm." He has defeated many pirates in the past, but has never killed a single one.
Zephyr, the legendary naval instructor, trained numerous outstanding naval commanders throughout his life. Later admirals such as Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu were all his prized students. Zephyr was not a Devil Fruit user, but his strength was not to be underestimated; like Garp, he earned everyone's recognition entirely through his own abilities.
However, fate played a cruel trick on this great instructor. During a return voyage, Zephyr's fleet was attacked by Whitebeard Jr. This sudden disaster plunged Zephyr into an unprecedented predicament. Whitebeard Jr., this ruthless enemy, showed no mercy, slaughtering Zephyr's entire navy, with only two survivors managing to escape. Even more heartbreaking, Zephyr's arm was severed by Whitebeard Jr. in this brutal battle.
Whitebeard Jr., who claims to be Whitebeard's biological son, appears alongside Bakkin, who claims to be Whitebeard's woman. Their appearance brings endless fear and chaos to the world. Two years later, Whitebeard Jr. surprisingly becomes a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and enjoys certain privileges.
This fact was undoubtedly a double blow to Zephyr. He couldn't accept that such a demon, whose hands were stained with the blood of his students, had become an ally of the Navy. This absurd situation completely corrupted Zephyr's heart. His former beliefs in justice crumbled at this moment, replaced by deep disappointment and anger towards the Navy.
Therefore, Whitebeard Jr.'s becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was a devastating blow to Zephyr, leading him to completely lose faith in the Navy and ultimately resign. However, unexpectedly, Zephyr didn't choose to seek revenge against Whitebeard Jr., but instead decided to establish his own new Navy, attempting to destroy the entire New World.
So, the question arises: why did Zephyr choose such an extreme method of revenge? Why didn't he just go and fight Whitebeard Jr. directly? The reason is simple: with Zephyr's strength, seeking revenge against Whitebeard Jr. would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, courting death. After all, Whitebeard Jr. is not someone easily defeated.
Back then, Whitebeard Jr. easily defeated Zeff and his Marine Corps, even cruelly severing one of Zeff's arms. It was a brutal battle; Zeff was ultimately defeated, and his arm remained on the battlefield forever.
However, it's important to note that Zephyr's defeat wasn't entirely due to a lack of strength. In fact, Whitebeard Jr. used Zephyr's students as hostages, which made Zephyr hesitant in the fight and unable to unleash his full power. In other words, Zephyr was forced to lose to Whitebeard Jr. while protecting his students, and his prized and most powerful arm was mercilessly severed in the fierce battle.
Even through the manipulation of his students, Whitebeard Jr.'s strength remains incredible; his power is immeasurable. It's no exaggeration to say he possesses at least the strength of a Shichibukai. Faced with such a powerful opponent, if Zephyr insists on fighting Whitebeard Jr., the only outcome will likely be his own demise. After all, Zephyr is now old, frail, battered, and even seriously ill; how could he possibly contend with Whitebeard Jr.?
However, after his transformation, Zephyr's hatred was no longer limited to Whitebeard Jr. He craved the lives of all pirates. He had lost not only his students but also his family. It was the pirates' revenge that had brought such horrific deaths upon his loved ones. Therefore, he wanted these pirates to pay for their sins, to take their lives to atone for his family's tragedy.
Moreover, Zephyr hoped to restore peace to the world through his actions. He knew all too well how much pain and disaster the pirates had brought to the world, and only by completely eradicating these evil forces could the world possibly return to peace. Therefore, Zephyr resolutely chose an extreme method—destroying End Point with explosive rock.
There are three endpoints in the New World. If all the endpoints are destroyed with explosive rock, the New World will perish on its own, and all pirates in the New World will be completely wiped out.
It must be said that Zephyr's methods are indeed ruthless! However, it's undeniable that this method is extremely effective. But in doing so, the innocent civilians of the New World will suffer; they will become the casualties of these pirates.
This is precisely why the Navy mobilized almost its entire force to stop Zephyr.
Do you think the Navy and the World Government are unaware of such tactics?
