Everyone present was used to Kizaru's sarcastic way of speaking.
Only Sengoku frowned and said:
"Borsalino, we'll talk about the problem between you and Zephyr later.
What do you think of Luffy?"
"Well, he is a pretty strong lad. I guess he will surpass me in a few years."
Kizaru pouted and said half seriously and half jokingly.
After hearing this, Garp laughed and patted his shoulder and joked:
"Borsalino, you little brat, if you work harder and make up for your shortcomings in armament haki and physical skills, you are definitely the strongest among the three admirals."
"Hey, hey, hey, Garp-san, Sakazuki and I are here, don't say that in front of us."
Kuzan held his forehead helplessly, very dissatisfied with Garp belittling him in front of him.
Garp laughed, pretended not to say anything, and continued to watch the battle on the field.
The chief staff Tsuru looked at the different expressions, especially Akainu who had been silent, and after thinking for a while, she asked:
"Luffy won't learn anything if he stays at the headquarters.
Are you interested in letting him join your ship?"
"Spare me, I already have a kid to take care of in the science unit.
Although Luffy's abilities are somewhat similar to mine, I don't have the energy to teach another one."
Kizaru was the first to refuse.
Then Akainu finally spoke.
"My focus is still on the New World, and it is too dangerous to take him with me.
If such an excellent marine dies early, it will be a loss for the marine."
The two admirals refused in succession.
Kuzan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse for Garp's sake. After thinking about it, he was about to speak.
"Forget it."
Garp said, crossing his arms and looking at the child in the field with pride.
"Luffy has his own road to take, and we adults should not interfere too much."
Tsuru looked at Garp with a proud look on his face, shook her head and said nothing more....
The battle on the field is not over yet.
Luffy has discarded his long sword, and his fists are filled with lightning and armament haki, and he is fighting Zephyr in a fierce fist-to-flesh fight.
"Ha!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive heavy punches hit Zephyr's lower abdomen. Zephyr only took a few steps back to stabilize his body.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zephyr smiled and taunted:
"Soft fist, little boy, are you tickling me?"
"You've been beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and you're still talking big. Come on!"
Luffy ignored his taunting and stood in a defensive position.
"Heh, arrogant brat."
With a smile on his face, Zephyr rushed forward and knocked Luffy's blocking arms away with a knee strike.
Then, without any hesitation, he punched Luffy's lower abdomen with three heavy punches.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ugh, poof!"
The last heavy punch directly knocked Luffy back more than ten steps. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground.
"Ahem, teacher, I think you can retire now.
Your fist is as light as cotton, I can't feel it at all."
Wiping the corner of his mouth, even though it was a bit difficult to get up, Luffy still didn't let the opportunity to tease Zephyr.
"You little devil..."
Zephyr's face sank, and he almost laughed at this stubborn idiot.
"Really? If you don't feel anything, then just take a few more punches from me and see how long you can keep being stubborn."
"Just try it, I can fight you for a whole day!"
They both said teasing words, and they gathered their strength and prepared to fight for another 800 rounds.
"Enough!"
Sengoku's voice suddenly sounded from outside the field.
Luffy, who had already turned into lightning and started to attack, almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
On the sidelines, Sengoku led a few people towards this side.
"That's enough, it's just a test, no need to hurt yourself"
"Fleet Admiral!"
Looking at the people coming, Luffy immediately stood up and saluted.
Then he greeted all the big guys one by one.
Nodding and smiling at him, Sengoku retracted his gaze and looked at Zephyr and asked:
"It seems that you have trained another monster for our marine.
What are you going to do with this kid?"
Zephyr dusted himself off. He had already made a plan for this.
"I had an idea a long time ago, which is to form a marine guerrilla team to hunt pirates.
I want to build this team with Luffy as the core and select a few outstanding students to assist in the establishment."
"Do you want to form a team that does not belong to any branch and can catch pirates everywhere in the four seas and even the Grand Line?"
Sengoku is also a smart man. He instantly understood the other meaning of Zephyr.
However, if this is the case, the scope of responsibility of this team will be too large.
And what if there is a conflict between the guerrillas and the local branch?
Just listening to Zephyr's idea, Sengoku felt a headache.
"I think it's great. Some branches are becoming less and less efficient.
Not only that they can't catch pirates, but some can't even protect their own areas.
A special guerrilla force should be formed from the headquarters to fight against pirates and investigate those corrupt marine officers.
I support the formation of a marine guerrilla force."
Akainu said a lot of good things seriously under the surprised eyes of several people.
After that, Sengoku had a headache.
Good guy, not only do they have to take care of pirates, but now we have to take care of the corrupt marine.
Once this guerrilla team comes out, he is afraid it will be terrifyingly powerful.
Sengoku looked at Tsuru beside him in embarrassment, but saw that she also nodded.
He actually felt that pirates have become more rampant recently, while the marine has become weaker.
It's okay to have the headquarters guarding the first half of the Grand Line, and the new world in the second half is not mentioned for the time being.
Let's talk about the four seas. Now the marine's control over the four seas is not as good as before.
There have even been more than a dozen cases where the four seas branches have been slaughtered by pirates.
This made the chief of staff worry.
She turned her head to look at Luffy, who had been listening silently, and looked at this child who had almost grown up with her since he was a child, and asked with a smile:
"Luffy, what do you think about justice? Don't worry, just say it directly"
'Justice? As long as the Celestial Dragons are here, the Marine has no justice. '
Luffy thought this in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
After thinking for a while, Luffy came up with his own answer.
"My justice is to eliminate all evil. I will never let pirates go, and I will never hurt civilians. This is my justice."
