Chapter 89 Severing the Cause and Effect of the World
late at night.
Allen walked into Zephyr's office.
It was already very late, but Zefa was still working on the students' training plans.
……
"What are you doing here?"
Zefa didn't turn around, and his voice was indifferent.
Seemingly oblivious to the distance in Zephyr's words, Allen leaned closer to look at Zephyr's notes, chattering, "Too light. I think Dor's training volume could be increased a bit more."
"Forget about Stock, he has neither talent nor perseverance. We should transfer him to an administrative position someday."
"Shirin... she does have talent, but look at this graph, her training performance has been declining sharply lately."
"this……"
"Shut up!!"
Zefa snapped the pencil in two, turned around and yelled angrily, "Who's the instructor, you or me? Who gave you the right to meddle?!"
Allen, with his hands behind his back, chuckled, "Old man, what's the matter? It's been so long, and you haven't even bothered to greet your beloved disciple."
"Hmph! I don't have a disciple that lazy. Besides being shameless, you don't have any other redeeming qualities!"
"Well, that does have its advantages, doesn't it?" Allen said softly, leaning closer.
"Zeffe-sensei, I know you're upset that I got involved in the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
……
Zephyr took a pen from the pen holder and continued writing: "There's nothing to blame you for, Uchiha Allen. I have nothing more to teach you. Graduation granted."
brush--
The officer training graduation certificate, signed by Zephyr, was handed to Allen, but he did not take it.
"What a stubborn old man..."
Allen stepped back and sat down on the office sofa: "Professor Zephyr, at your level, you should be able to see the reason why the Five Elders proposed the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"It's said to be to cope with the Great Pirate Era and make up for the Navy's insufficient manpower..."
"Actually, it's just a means for the higher-ups to forcibly keep me in check because they are wary of the increasingly powerful navy and fear that I will break free from their control."
"Then...wouldn't it be better for me to choose instead of letting the World Government make the selection?"
Zephyr's expression hardened, and his powerful Observation Haki spread rapidly.
After a moment's pause, he spoke in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, brat!!"
……
Allen leaned forward and said solemnly, "Many people understand this, including our Warring States Marshal."
"But for the sake of the bigger picture, he couldn't go against the Five Elders' decision."
"Ordinary marines can act for their own sense of justice, but the higher they go, the less they can act according to their own desires."
"Even if it's Vice Admiral Garp, even... it's you!"
……
……
Zefa stopped writing and said coldly, "What exactly are you trying to say!"
Allen's gaze was intense: "There are some things I couldn't say then, but now..."
"Professor Zephyr, don't you find it strange?"
"How were the pirates able to breach the heavily guarded family quarters and accurately locate and kill your family members?"
boom!!!!
The desk was slammed against the wall by the powerful blast of air, and the paper turned to dust.
Peng——
Allen sank into the sofa, Zephyr's thick arm pressing against his throat, his fingers gradually closing.
"Stop talking... brat!!"
Zefa's face was contorted, and the veins on his arms bulged.
……
A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Allen's mouth as he smiled faintly, "If you really want to, I'm pretty sure you're unconscious by now..."
"All... Zephyr-sensei..."
"I'm starting to mean something to you, aren't I...?"

With a strain of his knuckles, Zefa's face became increasingly distorted.
"Arian...shut up..."
……
Contrary to Zephyr's wishes, the blood welling up in Allen's throat did not stop him.
"Zeff!!"
"Face reality!!"
"You're a coward who knows the truth but dares not resist!!!"
His angry roar was accompanied by a spray of blood, which stained Zefa's face with crimson spots.
……
……
His trembling fingers gradually opened, Zefa's chest heaved violently, and he struggled to breathe.
"Drink—drink—"
His breathing was incredibly heavy. Zefa clutched his chest tightly until a medicine bottle was handed to him.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zephyr's thunderous breathing gradually calmed down.
His bloodshot eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, stared intently at Allen: "So... what can you do?!"
Zefa leaned back in his chair, looking forlorn.
"Faced with a behemoth that has ruled the world for eight hundred years, any resistance is futile..."
"The guy who dreamed of dominating the seas and becoming the king of the world failed."
"Roger, who conquered the Grand Line and was known as the Pirate King, failed."
"Garp couldn't do it, Sengoku couldn't do it... so what... can I do..."
……
……
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Allen calmly said, "Isn't that what you're doing?"
"Knowing the darkness at the top, you are willing to give up revenge and pass on your justice to the new era of the navy."
"anyway……"
"Isn't it cool for a man to uphold his beliefs throughout his life?"
……
He stood up and looked at Zefa, who was slumped over, powerless.
"Professor Zephyr, do you remember what I said when we first met?"
Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't.
"Just watch..."
"I will end it all."

In the silence, a domineering roar erupted violently, like thunder breaking through the clouds, heralding some kind of transformation.
……
……
Allen slowly walked towards the door, then stopped and turned his head.
"Occasionally, trust your disciple a little, Master Zephyr..."
……
……
Zefa watched the graduation certificate slowly drifting down from mid-air, his gaze falling on the innocent smiling faces in the student photo section.
Is that so...?
significance……
A slight smile crept onto Zefa's lips.
And aren't you the same?
This guy, who seems kind and warm to everyone but is actually colder than anyone else inside, actually cares about the feelings of an old man like me...

Unknown sea area.
Under the dim sky, a tunnel of ice crystals formed on the sea surface shimmered with a faint light.
Jingle Bell……
A bicycle is traveling on the frozen sea, with a rope tied to the back of the bicycle.
The other end of the rope was tied to a sled.
Aokiji, who was pedaling his bicycle, turned around and said helplessly, "Lady Mia, you can go ahead by yourself. I'm getting very tired this way."
On the sled was a stunningly beautiful woman with long black hair and a slender figure, with a short-handled lance beside her.
"Don't say that. It's a rare opportunity to act alone, and I really want to spend time with you, Lieutenant General Kuzan."
The woman known as Mia Palace smiled faintly, and that charm was enough to captivate countless people.
Unfortunately, Aokiji on the other side remained unmoved.
"Whatever... I'm going to sleep on the island ahead."
……
After a while, Mia Palace spoke.
"Hey, Kuzan, it's such a waste for a man with your strength to be in the Navy. Why don't you become my Servant?"
Aokiji said expressionlessly, "That's too much trouble, I don't want to."
"Sigh~ Really, won't you consider it? This is the only chance for someone who isn't born to join the world's nobility! I agreed immediately back then!"
"Let me think about it some more!"
……
"Too much trouble, no thanks."
