The red sun gradually rises.
Up until now, the night sky has gradually retreated, and the corner of the sun in the east gradually rose and turned into dawn.
Many Marines on the beach had stopped and stood quietly in a circle.
In the middle of the Marines, Kuro pulled out Autumn Water and swung it, throwing out a ball of blood.
Zephyra had already fallen to the ground when Kuro pulled out his sword.
There was still a smile on his face. There was some relief and some satisfaction in that smile.
"Ha…"
Kuro sighed and sheathed Autumn Water. He stared at Zephyr with a complicated expression.
All the surrounding generals had complicated expressions.
Kuro looked at it for a while and closed his eyes. "Goodbye, Teacher Zephyr."
Zephyra died under their siege.
The people who were personally taught by them in the past completed the killing feat, especially Kuro, who was the last to be taught.
"Looks like it's over."
Polusalino walked over and looked at Zephyra's body. There was a strange light flashing in his sunglasses. He looked at the ice wall and said, "Speaking of which, is this guy Kuzan here?"
Old man, you know the answer.
Kuro rolled his eyes. Is he coming or not? Logically speaking, you should have known long ago.
However, this matter did not matter.
"Zefa's body, how to get it?" Kuro asked.
"Of course we have to bring him back. Although he is no longer a Marine, he is not wanted. There is no rule that says Marines cannot bury civilians." Kizaru shrugged.
"Okay, but…"
Kuro leaned over to Zephyra and held his right hand. With a force, he removed the prosthetic limb.
"This is a souvenir," Kuro said, holding up his prosthetic arm.
No one had any objections.
After all, they were dead. It was normal to want a memorial.
After collecting Zephyr's body, the group of people dispersed.
They wouldn't stay in this place for long. After all, most of the Marines are here. They are the base commanders of important places or have missions. If it weren't for Zephyr, they wouldn't have all gathered here.
They did not even stop. After completing this mission, they directly sailed away.
"Kuro, aren't you leaving?"
Kizaru asked Kuro at the port.
"I'm a little tired from staying overnight," Kuro said.
Kizaru nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you in the headquarters. It's time for you to take office."
With that, Kizaru boarded the ship and left.
After they left, Kuro shook his head and looked back. "Hey, it's been so long. Shouldn't you come out?"
"Ah, did you find out, Kuro."
On the high slope, Kuzan scratched his head and walked out. "I thought we wouldn't be discovered."
Kuro's mouth twitched. Do you think people are stupid? Do you think people can't see such a big ice wall?
"Teacher Zephyr!!"
The moment Kuzan appeared, two more people ran out behind him. Ian and Bintz rushed over and threw themselves on the broken robotic arm on the beach, crying loudly.
"That's it. I wanted to leave, but these two people are my junior brothers and sisters. Ah… they are your senior sister and senior brother, right? After all, you joined the sect the latest." Kuzan said.
"Stop joking!"
Kuro's forehead burst with blue veins, "Is this thing still divided by seniority?! I have never heard of it!"
He is a Great General Substitute, is he considered Junior Brother Ian?
I accept that I cannot!
"Anyway, this is what happened. Can I take this robotic arm with me?" Kuzan pointed at the robotic arm and said, "After all, I am not Marine anymore. If I want to keep it, I can only rely on other items."
"It's up to you. No one wants that thing. To be honest, Vegapunk is a fool. He just needs to install a prosthetic arm. It's not a good thing to install a robotic arm or foreign objects." Kuro smacked his lips.
"Hey, you don't have the right to say that." Kuzan pointed to his waist.
"Shut up! I am a swordsman and an ability user! Not a physical expert!"
Kuro said angrily, "Are you done? If you have nothing to do, get out of my sight, or I will arrest you! Arrest you, a pirate of the Blackbeard Pirates!"
"Ah la la, is your speech so harsh…"
Kuzan scratched his head and looked at Zephyra. He paused for a moment and said, "Well… it's not bad. It's still very cool for a man to fulfill his long-cherished wish in the end. Speaking of which, what should we do with these two people? NEO Marine defeated many pirates before. If Teacher is gone, it will be difficult for these two to survive."
"If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Kuro chewed on his cigar and came over, kicking Bintz, who was still crying.
The two stopped crying and looked at Kuro.
"I once said that if Teacher Zephyr can't do it, I can come and take care of you. You used to be Marines, but now you can only be regarded as leaving and can be hired back. How about it, are you interested in working under me?" Kuro asked.
Not only did he accept Zephyr's favor, but these two people are also his fellow disciples. There is no reason to watch them struggle in the New World.
Indeed, as Kuzan said, without Zephyra, the NEO Navy is like a pile of loose sand. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed by the jealous pirates.
Those soldiers are easy to deal with. Anyway, no one knows them. If they want to retire, they can retire directly. If they want to survive in the sea, I have a place for them in G-3.
But these two can't be left alone.
"Do your men work? Rejoin the Marine?"
Ian was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm already disappointed in Marine. I decided to spend my life with Teacher Zephyr's grave."
"Me too!" Bintz shouted.
"Huh? That won't do. I didn't discuss it with you."
Kuro said, "You two NEO Marine cadres will be targeted by pirates sooner or later. As fellow disciples, I feel sorry that you are going to die like this. Secondly, the two of you are metahumans. If you cause trouble for Marine, it will not be good. Let me watch you. Master Zephyr was also worried about you when he was alive. This old man can fulfill his long-cherished wish to die, but your long-cherished wish has not been completed. If you want to fight pirates, it is best to join Marine."
"Otherwise…"
He pointed at Kuzan. "You don't want to hang out with this Madao, do you?"
"Hey hey hey, what do you mean by 'MADAO', it feels like a very bad word," Kuzan shouted.
"Oh… then I'll be blunt, wandering uncle, unemployed person, confused person." Kuro rolled his eyes. "Especially you, Kuzan, from Marine Admiral to wandering uncle, you are the worst."
"This is really heartbreaking, Kuro." Kurzan scratched his head and said to Ian and others: "However, it is indeed not good to follow a wandering uncle like me. It is better to join the Marine again, there is nothing bad. You want to deal with pirates and go back to your old profession."
