The situation in the South China Sea was even more rotten than he had imagined. The various forces in the South China Sea Navy were intertwined, which was really shocking.
Immediately report to Zhan Guo. After communicating with Zhan Guo in detail about the situation of the Nanhai branch, the headquarters reinforced with a lieutenant general and several major generals, as well as a large number of troops, to come and clean up Nanhai.
Zhan Guo had not expected that there would be so many problems at the grassroots level, but he had no way to solve these problems fundamentally. Some things were deliberately indulged by the higher-ups, and these could still be felt.
He knows how to compromise, so he only sent people to clean up a group this time, and waited for the next group to appear. The problem of the world government is more serious than that of the South China Sea. It has ruled the sea for 800 years. As long as the order is not overthrown by a large number of people, he can compromise.
In view of this, after cleaning up the South China Sea, Zefa will also go to the other three seas for inspection and investigation. The four seas are the important foundation of the navy, and the headquarters will not give up.
All parties reacted strongly to the navy's actions. We originally thought it was just a routine act to arrest a few unlucky people with no background, but after a series of small high-ranking officials were arrested, the nature of the matter changed. This is cutting off our source of income. Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents. We cannot tolerate this.
The local forces have no way to deal with the giant like the navy, but they have many tricks. The sky of the South China Sea is still the sky of the world government, or the sky of the member countries. The local snakes are no match for the powerful dragon, but they can pester the powerful dragon.
These people created great obstacles for Zefa's work. Basically, all kinds of supplies, docking and maintenance of the ships of the Navy Headquarters in the South China Sea became problems. Problems that had never been thought of before appeared. It was difficult to ensure the cleanliness of fresh water, vegetables, etc.
This was done by several major world member countries and some affiliated countries. It's disgusting. What can Zefa do? He questioned the person in charge, and the person in charge said helplessly that the recent situation is special. How is it special? I don't know.
Even if the other party offered him their face to slap him, he couldn't do anything. If he did, news would spread around the world that the navy was bullying civilians in the South China Sea.
This bought time for those problematic branch naval officers. Some took the opportunity to destroy the evidence, some refused to admit their crimes, some fled quietly, and some dragged everyone down with them.
The backing of these people is the connivance of officials within the world the strength of a few big countries, it is still easy to make friends with a few world government world government is very afraid of the navy, and mixing sand is a routine method.
In the end, the supply work was completed in some small countries, and these small countries were unified under an organization called the South Sea Federation. This made Zefa have complicated feelings about this organization. It was obviously developed by the Revolutionary Army, but it was quite supportive of the work of the Navy. It was too magical.
Because seeing that things were being dragged into a quagmire, some countries or individuals could no longer sit still, so the revolutionary army had to help this good comrade Zefa.
Of course we support it, we must support it, and we strongly support it!
Noah issued these orders at the Revolutionary Army headquarters. If Zefa needs supplies, we will provide them; if he needs intelligence, we will provide it. In short, we must seize this hard-won opportunity.
Princess Otohime's observation Haki can detect alignment and evilness, and through this method, a large number of incompetents in the navy were screened out. However, even if the Revolutionary Army added people, it would not be so easy to get rid of these guys and put them in power. There are always some basic laws for promotion, such as qualifications, background, merit, etc.
This time, Zefa actually helped the Revolutionary Army complete the task of cleaning up the South China Sea Navy, and arranged more opportunities and job vacancies for the Revolutionary Army's undercover agents.
The removal of the Navy's termites also means a large number of vacancies. It is not realistic to transfer people from the Navy Headquarters. Isn't this a waste of talent? We only need to place people in some senior positions, and the other positions will still be selected from the South China Sea branch. The four seas are so big, if we transfer people from the headquarters, what about the Grand Line? That is the lifeblood of the world.
The condition for internal selection is to have a certain level of strength, which is the most basic. In the era of the sea, strength is respected. Secondly, you must have excellent character, and you can't be the same as the previous group of people. In this regard, the people who came out of the Revolutionary Army are impeccable, each of them is excellent, and can be regarded as a role model for the navy.
Finally, having a certain level of education is a plus. I ran into the gun point. The basic literacy class had already been trained, and the navy had been mentally trained. In order to give ordinary people in the sea a better and safer life, I became a navy. I am so upright.
Sure enough, most of those who were promoted in the later period were from the revolutionary army.
With the unwitting cooperation of Mr. Zephyr, the control of the South China Sea Branch of the Navy is almost complete. I hope that Mr. Zephyr will accept this calmly after knowing it. After all, Noah didn't know that Zephyr could do it so well and so thoroughly. What the Revolutionary Army planned to do in 10 years was completed in just a few months.
If he reaches the maximum KPI, he can be awarded a medal.
In other words, if Noah takes this time to have a brief exchange with Zefa, the effect will be better.
Chapter 177: No Talk, Just Beat
It's another busy day. Zefa feels that the things he has dealt with during this period are too many and too complicated.
Moreover, the matters he dealt with were things he rarely dealt with. In the past, internal issues were handled by Ah He. With her extraordinary wisdom and experienced methods, she would definitely be able to handle them with ease.
Unfortunately, there is no one at the headquarters. The Red Hair in the New World is making frequent moves. Ahe takes the General Staff to the G1 branch to cooperate with Kizaru. The World Government's fear of the New World is second only to the Revolutionary Army. Those emperors were all from the Rocks Pirates, and they may have a certain understanding of the truth of the world. Their own combat power is also that of the sea emperor, which is more deterrent.
Red Hair's ascent to the summit once again broke the fragile balance of the New World. Strangely, the World Government was unexpectedly kind to Red Hair and did not arrange for the Navy to kill him.
Logically speaking, the other three emperors have fought against the top forces of the World Government and the Navy, but Red Hair's route is rather strange, and only the Navy has been paying attention to him.
This time, there was no staff from the navy to assist, so it was a bit difficult to rely on Zefa alone. His big fists with distinct joints were good for hitting people, but he was not good at holding a pen. Fortunately, although there were many problems in the South China Sea, as long as he was upright, he could solve them all.
He refused to answer any invitations to dinner from the countries that joined the world government, or any phone calls from certain officials of the world government.
I want to see if you have any other tricks! Back then, he fought with so many pirates on the sea and his will did not change. How can you do that?
Zefa just sat on his warship, following the fleet, not going anywhere.
It was not until he was at a port belonging to the South China Sea Federation that someone passed him a note through the local port manager.
"Meet at 10 o'clock tonight on a deserted island 20 nautical miles to the east."
This handwriting! Zefa's eyebrows were twisted, Noah!
You are so brave, you dare to come to see me! He clenched his fist, and the paper turned into fine powder and flowed out from the gap between his fists.
He immediately called his adjutant and told him that he needed to go out alone that night and not to worry. Then he began to frantically process the crowded documents to squeeze out more time for this meeting.
When I was almost done writing, I could finally come to an end. I stretched my muscles and bones, and they creaked. Even if I fought the enemy for 10 days and 10 nights, my body would not creak. After a few hours in this office, my body was like this. At this moment, Zefa had some admiration for the Warring States Marshal of Marinford.
Put on the coat of justice, say hello to the adjutant, walked to the deck, looked to the east, jumped out of the ship's side lightly, and then jumped away in a few months, heading straight to the deserted island.
At this time, on the deserted island, Noah had been waiting for a long time, holding Wado Ichimonji, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bright full moon in the sky, and his thoughts were emanating.
Moon, moon, how many secrets are there in the One Piece world? It is a mysterious place. Are there any space pirates on it? The mysterious Bika city, the ancient civilization. When the sea calmed down, Noah decided to open the door to the moon and explore the secrets.
Hmm? Here it comes. This momentum seems a bit fierce.
He quickly put on a handsome moonlit sword god pose, smiled slightly, and looked at the western sky. A small black dot fell from the sky.
Huh? Why isn't this landing? It seems to be falling!
I'm out of the way! A space door opened behind him, and Noah left this section of the cliff.
Sure enough, a fist fell from the sky and hit the place where Noah had just stood.
First there was a bang, then a crack, and the cliff collapsed directly. The rubble slid down the mountain and rushed straight into the sea, with a rumbling sound that shook the sky.
Two red lights flashed in the smoke and dust, and a figure rushed out and headed straight for Noah.
"Six-style·Finger gun·Continuous fire."
Zefa fired with both hands, like a machine gun, to contain Noah's movement. Then he stomped his foot on the ground and moved closer.
"Six Styles·Iron Block·One Punch."
A fist wrapped in powerful armed color, with the support of the iron block, hit the opponent. The wind from the fist tore through the air, causing a gas explosion.
He raised his eyebrows. You want to fight first, Comrade Zefa! Then it's as you wish. The sword was not unsheathed, and the whole Wado Ichimonji was covered with armed color, smashing towards the attacking fist.
Dang~~~
The sound of metal colliding echoed across the battlefield, and waves of air were generated from the collision points, sweeping in all directions.
The two refused to give in and continued to wrestle, leaving terrible cracks in the ground beneath their feet. The friction sounds of their fists set off sparks, and their fighting reached its peak right from the start.
Anyway, Zefa had thought about it on the way here, and he would start fighting right away, not giving that cunning little devil a chance to open his mouth. If he was allowed to open his mouth to talk, it would be very likely that the fight would fail, as that little devil's ability to bewitch people was too strong.
As long as I act quickly, I can finish the fight first. I guess we can finally settle all the old and new grudges.
You have used and plotted against me so many times, like the time with Mary Joa, ah! And this time with Nanhai, ah! You even dared to assign work to me. If I don’t beat you into submission this time, I don’t know what you will dare to do in the future!
Noah's original plan was to first use his eloquence to try to persuade Zefa to be less angry, and then throw out some terrifying secret information to divert attention. Finally, spread another wave of fire to make Zefa completely turn to their revolutionary army.
In the end, he was interrupted by Zefa's unreasonable opening kill. The more losses people suffer, the smarter they become. Let's finish the fight first.
Finally, the two of them worked together to push each other away. As soon as they stood still, Zefa rushed over and continued to hit them with his big fists.
I have to say that Zefa's use of the six styles is really perfect. Not only has he developed many derivative skills, but the timing of their use is also just right. He fully utilized his well-tempered body and launched wave after wave of tidal offensives, which really opened Noah's eyes.
There are unexpected moves like "Paper Painting·Bushin Storm Kick". When dodging the Wado Ichimonji with paper painting, a ground-level Storm Kick came lightly from under his feet. What kind of operation is this? It's the pinnacle of physical micro-manipulation.
It was not the first time that he had fought against a pure taijutsu master. For example, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kong Gang, had a taijutsu fighting style that was just like his name, full of toughness. He would charge and hit hard, that is, swing his fists, sprint, swing his fists, and sprint.
Ze Fa Fa is more like a master of physical skills, and has his own tactics in practical application. There is no difference between the two paths, but each has its own advantages.
Since the opponent is so serious, Noah can't show weakness. He uses a side kick to deflect Fei Lan's foot and uses all his strength to shake Zefa away. He is going to fight for real.
Chapter 178: The Man in the Overlord's Color
He drew the Wado Ichimonji out of the scabbard, and the great swordsman's sharp aura was released and then extremely restrained around his body, which was a posture of giving it his all.
The fact is that Noah lost the physical battle just now. He was suppressed by Zefa, so if he didn't unsheathe his sword, he would not be able to save the situation.
Seeing Noah draw his sword, Zefa threw away the cloak behind him, untied the tie at his collar, and went full fire!
"This guy, I can't beat him unless I take off my clothes, weird."
Zefa and Noah have never really fought, so the combat information of each side is only on paper and from their comrades.
According to Akainu, Noah is a top swordsman with a unique Conqueror Haki. His moves are sinister and unethical. His physical fitness is poor, and his hard power does not match his record. For example, he was very dissatisfied with his record of defeating a certain admiral of the navy.
In CP0's intelligence, Noah's combat power was raised to the level of a suspected great swordsman. Of course, Zefa didn't believe this.
He believes that Akainu may have belittled the opponent's strength because of his own experience, while CP0 exaggerated the opponent's strength in order to shift the blame.
Then it would be reasonable to say that the real Noah is the strongest one below the admiral level. After all, given his age, he is not even 30 years old, so the possibility of him advancing to a great swordsman is not very high.
This time, Zefa felt something was not right. He did suppress his opponent in the physical battle, but he was not sure of victory. The opponent was also a swordsman. If he could beat him like this without using the sword, then he must be a great swordsman, right?
Maybe, possibly, CP0's information is somewhat accurate.
He took a deep breath, and his muscles bulged again.
"Life Returns, Final, Battle Body"
The heart beats stronger and stronger, and the sweat on the body is evaporated by the heat of the high-speed flowing blood, forming white water vapor. The vitality stored in the body is released, the white hair turns black, and the wrinkles on the face are much lighter. The ligaments, bones, and flesh are greatly strengthened.
This is the pinnacle of the Six Styles, another application of Life Return. Spread your will to every corner of your body, unleash your hidden vitality, and return to the young and powerful admiral who dominated the sea - Zephyr!
As they get older, they feel their own fighting power is declining, so they create a variant of life return. As long as the body is healthy, the vitality will be slowly lost, and a part of it will be intercepted and hidden deep in the cells. When they encounter an opponent who really needs a fight, they can release it and restore the highest fighting power of their youth.
Because it requires a thorough study of each of the six styles, and the control must reach an inhuman level, within the navy, except for him, no one else has succeeded. It can be said to be a hidden skill.
The reason why it was used when fighting Noah was because this battle was more about Zefa's self-judgment of beliefs, ideals, peace, and justice.
Since you said you want to change the sea and start a world war, then defeat me first! If you can't even beat me, don't talk big. You can't defeat those guys who have been hovering on the throne of the sky for 800 years with your tricks.
Come on, Noah!
Looking at the veteran navy soldier who had undergone a major transformation in front of him, Zephyr's eyes clearly conveyed his meaning.
Then of course Noah would help him and let him see the power of the new era.
Domineering color, go all out!
With Noah as the center, the red domineering energy roared like a wave, sweeping in all directions, hitting all the objects in the real world. The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and the clouds kept rolling as Noah's domineering energy continued to rise, and the sound of lightning and thunder echoed between heaven and earth.
On the island, the ground was sinking, and the waves around the deserted island were flattened, but the people who faced this domineering force were standing upright.
"Crack, crack, crack"
Zefa's sunglasses and the gravel on the ground were crushed together, revealing the shocked pupils of the navy veteran. Is this really the Conqueror's Haki! ?
Why did he seem to be able to see one figure after another appearing in domineering manner, there were workers raising sickles and hammers, soldiers charging on the battlefield, mothers standing in front of disasters, fathers holding up the sky, madmen singing in the flames, and many more ordinary people.
Eventually, they all turned into the most intense red color, and were retracted around Noah's body. They then extended to his weapon, completely transforming the black sword into a red sword.
The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if nothing that had just happened had ever happened.
"Is this your domineering color?"
"This is my domineering color."
"What a courage! Come, come, come!"
The two men exerted force with their feet, crushed the ground, and began fighting in mid-air.
The high-speed battle caused the two people to suddenly appear and disappear, and their next meeting was a collision that caused a twelve-force gale.
boom!boom!boom! ...
The high-speed and intensive collision sound overwhelmed the thunder in the sky, and the entire island was torn apart by the aftermath of the collision. Seawater began to flow back through the cracks, and the impact of the water flow made the battle environment more dangerous, but this did not stop the two people's fighting rhythm.
Since this island was destroyed, then we can move to another one. There are so many deserted islands on the sea. The two of them sensed another island not far away with their observation Haki. They fought while walking, creating shock waves on the sea. It was common for fist winds to tear the sea apart, and sword energy split the sea every few miles.
In the end, the two men destroyed six islands overnight and stopped at the seventh island.
"I really regret not taking you down right away on the Grand Line. At that time, you were just a young man who had just stepped into the threshold of becoming a swordsman. I didn't expect that you have grown to this point now."
"Then I have to thank you for letting me go, Mr. Zefa. What's your last move?"
"Last move!"
huh~~~
The red light wrapped in the domineering color flowed continuously on the sword, forming the appearance of a lightsaber. After his whole mind was immersed in it, he calmed down instead. The deep red sword body became dull, and the sword intent, domineering power, and faith were all sealed in this strike.
Zefa also pushed his armament color to the extreme, the black domineering aura surged out of his whole body and finally concentrated on a pair of fists. This was the blow that decided the outcome.
