Such an excellent book makes Zefa unable to say anything against his will
"I've read it, it's really excellent, a lot of things are very inspiring, but some of them are not very realistic."
"What if I say that this book is all based on reality? Are the unrealistic parts really unrealistic? Please wait a moment. I'm going to wash my face."
After knowing that Zefa had finished reading the book, Noah decided to show his hand. He took a gamble, at least the probability of being caught and continuing to communicate was 50-50. Removing his disguise and returning to his identity as the black-haired O'Hara survivor, Noah walked out calmly.
Looking at the somewhat familiar unfamiliar faces in front of him, Zefa thought for a moment, then stood up and released his Observation Haki to sense whether there was an ambush around.
"Great writer Adam, O'Hara survivor Noah, I never thought you would walk openly on the sea, amazing. What's even more amazing is that you dared to appear in front of me alone. Do you bet that I dare not catch you?"
Zefa's Observation Haki did not sense any signs of being surrounded. There were only a few waiters waiting outside the door for orders. He was a little curious as to whether this O'Hara survivor had any other conspiracy.
Noah walked to the dining table naturally, sat down, and said slowly: "Mr. Zefa, I believe in your character, so can you let me say a few more words? You are a former general, you won't be afraid of a junior like me."
"Humph, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. I won't be bewitched by you."
"Do you think what I said was misleading? Which of my words misled you? Which of my words was not true?"
He raised his arm, revealing his slave brand.
"Your navy's intelligence is still somewhat incomplete. See? This is called a slave brand, and it is the brand of a small slave ship belonging to the Four Seas. I am not actually from O'Hara, but just a poor person swept there by the waves.
Before I ended up in O'Hara, I was like many people who drifted with the tide and fell into darkness. I didn't know if I could see the sun tomorrow. Oh, I said it wrong. The slaves were not allowed to come out below the deck, so they couldn't see the sun tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, haha."
Zefa was somewhat puzzled and moved
"In O'Hara, I gained family love. She was the devil's child you wanted. She was a really good person. She saved my body and soul, and allowed a person who only had disgust and numbness towards the world to return to this world. And friendship. You don't know how interesting Dr. Clover is. But it was destroyed again, destroyed by the navy that represents justice. I was angry. When I was young, I vowed to change this world full of injustice and backwardness. This is my origin."
"So you want revenge on the Navy?"
"No, the navy is just a knife, a violent institution that claims to be just. What destroyed my life is this world, the world's system, and the group of greedy bugs standing on the system. So I want to burn all these things that shouldn't exist. Let us, the people, truly stand up. As long as we unite, there will be no force in this world that can stop us. Anyone who tries to hinder the progress of the times will be crushed into dust!"
There was no domineering aura emanating from him, but the sheer spirit and thought still shocked Zephyr. Noah continued his words.
"I have a friend who has been in hell for three years. That hell has a nice name called Holy Land Marijoa. It is a place where dignity has nowhere to live. It is a place where freedom is daunting. It is filled with blood, humiliation, darkness, and fear. He said that there is a lock on his body called the Hoof of the Sky-Soaring Dragon, and he wanted me to help him open it. I thought about it and decided that I couldn't just help him alone. I wanted to go there to pick up everyone and send them home! By the way, I want to tell the world that the voices of the lower-class people can also be deafening!"
"Free the slaves? You can't do that."
"I want to try."
Looking at the young man in front of him, with sincerity in his pupils, Zefa didn't know what he should do. Arrest him? But Zefa knew that he had done nothing, so should he not arrest him? The cloak of justice behind him reminded him of his identity.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I need your help."
"I'm a Marine."
"You are part of the Navy that represents justice."
Zephyr fell silent. Is this justice? From an ignorant boy to now retreating to the second line, his justice is also slowly compromising. Back then, he was dissatisfied and angry about slaves, Celestial Dragons, and many things of the World Government, but in the end he slowly compromised, learned to turn a blind eye, and forced himself to believe that as long as all the pirates were arrested, peace could be brought to the sea.
But now there was a young man standing in front of him, who had chosen the most difficult path and faced the challenge head-on. He didn't know what to say. He was just silent. But the warmth in his heart was ignited again, and little by little he seemed to have returned to the age when he first joined the navy.
"Only for Marijoa?"
"Only for Marijoa."
"What do you need me to do?"
Chapter 45 Entrustment
In the East China Sea, Voyager sails in calm waves.
"Ah, I haven't seen such a calm sea in a long time. Compared to the Grand Line, this place is so gentle."
The one who sighed was Robin. She had been in a happy mood since she entered the East China Sea. She was going back to Shimotsuki Village, she was going home.
Robin missed her house in Shimotsuki Village very much. She was always worried when she was in the Grand Line. Would it leak? Would the windows be broken? But this was actually another way of expressing her longing. She missed the peaceful days in the village.
She was about to return to Shimotsuki Village, and she was in a really good mood. Except for the occasional new pirate groups that would pop up and disturb her mood, everything else was fine. Of course, those pirates had already sunk into the East China Sea.
After returning to the port of Shimotsuki Village and picking up their luggage, Noah and Robin took the last few steps home. They greeted the people they knew and returned home.
The house was still the same, a little old on the outside, but there was nothing wrong with the appearance. When he opened the front door, a stale smell wafted out. As usual, he used his hand as a sword to create a gentle sword wind, sweeping the odor out of the room. Then he closed the door, put the luggage in the living room, and crossed his hands.
"Flowers and fruits, a dazzling array of flowers."
Is it necessary to use so much force? Hands grew out of everywhere in the room, and they began to clean up in unison. If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they might have a cardiac arrest.
With so many hands, cleaning is super fast. Soon, the floor is shiny and the sheets and quilts are washed and hung out to dry. Flowers and fruits, YYDS.
Then the two of them went out to buy food, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the East China Sea Village, picked out food for a long time, and then went home to cook. Noah cooked himself and made an ordinary dinner. In fact, Robin's cooking skills had long surpassed him. The Flower-Flower Fruit is a top-quality fruit in life, but after returning to this room, Noah had to be stubborn once, and the result was that he regretted it while eating.
Robin didn't regret this feeling, but felt very warm, because Noah cooked for her on her first night here. She still remembered it.
Back in his familiar room, Noah temporarily let down his guard and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Noah woke up naturally, stretched himself, washed up, and went to the Shimotsuki Gym with the gift he prepared for Koshiro in high spirits.
When I walked to the gym's gate, a little girl with navy blue hair came out holding a small wooden sword. She almost fell down due to the threshold, but was caught by Noah.
"Little boy, walk steadily and watch your step carefully."
Kuina looked at her current big brother and was about to thank her, but when she saw the hilt of the sword on Noah's waist, she was taken aback, as if she had seen this sword on a painting in the book collection at home.
"Thank you, big brother. Is the sword on your waist Wado Ichimonji? A divine weapon ranked among the great swords?"
Noah didn't expect that the scabbard had been wrapped in cloth, but a little loli recognized it on the handle. Next time, I have to be careful with disguise and can't be careless. She is only five or six years old, and her hair color is similar to Master Koshiro. Could it be Kuina?
"Not bad, you are very good kid, you even know Wado Ichimonji, are you Kuina?"
"Yes, big brother, how did you know?"
"Your father said so. I am your father's disciple. This time I am here to visit the master. Why don't you take me there?"
So the little Loli enthusiastically led Noah into the gym.
Koshiro was sitting by the corridor drinking tea at this time. Seeing Kuina coming back, he was a little curious.
"Kuina, why are you back again?"
Seeing the person following Kuina, Koshiro felt a sense of joy of reunion.
He let Kuina continue to do her own thing, and then took Noah to the quiet room.
"When did you return to the East Sea? I always see news about you in the newspapers. If your novel wasn't still being serialized, I would have thought something had happened to you."
Koshiro first showed concern for Noah's recent situation, and then criticized Noah for not paying attention to his own safety. He knew what would happen if Noah was exposed. Koshiro was still very concerned about Noah's safety. In his opinion, Noah was the orthodox descendant of Shimotsuki Kendo.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. This trip to the Grand Line was safe and nothing serious happened."
Noah would naturally not talk about the hardships and near-death experiences he had experienced.
"Well, I can't sense your strength now. Although you were already as strong as me before you set out for the Grand Line, I didn't expect that I can't even see your back now. I know the dangers of the Grand Line, and I also know that you must have experienced fierce battles to improve your strength so quickly. This is the path you chose yourself, and I won't persuade you, but I just ask you to think more about your family."
"Master, I have gained something from my trip to the Grand Line this time. This gift is very meaningful to you."
As he spoke, Noah untied a long black cloth bag from his back and handed it to Koshiro. Koshiro knew it was a sword without even touching it. With the aspirations of this disciple, it was normal for him to find a famous sword to return to himself after receiving the Wado Ichimonji.
However, after receiving the sword, Koshiro was stunned for a moment. The sword felt heavier than ordinary swords, and he seemed to hear the sound of the sword and had a connection with his own swordsmanship. This is...
Unpacking the bag, looking at the handle, it has the pattern of Wano Country. Pulling out the blade, the blade spine is thick, the blade is a large reverse T-shaped blade, the blade is black and purple, with red serrated patterns. This is...
Koshiro couldn't believe it.
"Black Blade Autumn Water"
The large sword that I had seen recorded in the family's collection of books, the national treasure of Wano Country.
"How did this come about?"
"In the Devil's Sea. Moonlight Moriah stole Senior Ryoma's body and Qiushui in Wano Country and made them into puppets. Later, Qiushui's sword resonated and self-destructed Senior Ryoma's body."
"Moria, you deserve to die"
Koshiro, who always has the image of a good guy, showed overflowing murderous intent, which shows his inner anger.
"I have defeated Moriah. I don't know if he is alive or dead. If he is not dead, I will kill him the next time I see him."
After hearing this, Koshiro slowly regained his composure.
Looking at the Qiushui in his hand, he sighed. This big sword has returned to the hands of the Shimotsuki family. But what happened in Wano Country?
There was no point in thinking too much, so he put Qiu Shui on the knife stand. Then he bowed to Noah. Noah quickly dodged.
"Noah, I am really grateful to you for Qiu Shui's matter. I can only treat you with great courtesy."
"Master Koshiro, let's not be like this between us. Without you leading me to the way of the sword, how could I have achieved what I have today? I came here this time because I want to ask you for a favor."
"Oh? You said that as long as I am able, I will help you do it."
"If something happens to me in the future, I will arrange for someone to send Robin back here. Please help me protect Robin. It would be best if she could live a peaceful life in Shimotsuki Village. But when she has the will to do something, you don't have to stop her."
Hearing Noah say this, Koshiro had a bad feeling.
"very dangerous?"
"Well, it's dangerous."
Koshiro did not ask if he could refrain from doing such things. His disciple carried the things and awareness that he carried, and he could not dissuade him from doing so with empty words.
"In the name of the Shimotsuki family, as long as I am alive, I will not let Robin come to harm."
Koshiro decisively swore an oath in the name of Shimotsuki in front of Qiu Shui.
Noah also gave a big gift in return, and Koshiro accepted it calmly. This is the agreement between men on the sea.
Then Noah returned to the village. He wanted to spend the next few days with Robin and enjoy a warm life. He also cherished such time.
Watching Noah walk out of the gym, Koshiro also returned to the quiet room. Looking at Qiu Shui, he was filled with thoughts. It seemed that what this disciple was going to do would be beyond imagination and dangerous. Was he entrusting his family to his ideals? Then he walked out of the quiet room and returned to the corridor to continue drinking tea.
At this time, Kuina came back.
"Father, the sword that senior brother just held was Wado Ichimonji. I've seen it in the family collection of books. I heard that it was your sword before, right?"
Koshiro smiled and nodded
"Then why give it to Brother?"
"Kuina, your brother is the one who wants to change the sea. A sword means nothing to him. It is just one of the few things I can do to help him."
Kuina seemed to understand but not quite.
Chapter 46 Acting
Noah stayed in Shimotsuki Village for 3 months. Besides training, he kept talking to Ryu and Ryugugu on Den Den Mushi to communicate the progress. After repeatedly modifying the details, when he learned that it was Admiral Kizaru who was going to the New World G1 branch, Noah knew that the plan could start. This highly mobile trouble finally left the first half of the paradise as expected.
Then Noah and Robin left Shimotsuki Village and set out for the Grand Line again. This time when Noah stepped out of the house, he had some concerns in his heart, wondering if he could come back here.
This time he went through the Grand Line via the Upside-Down Mountain, said hello to Crocus at the Twin Capes, then entered Laboo's body, and explained some things to Brook in a mysterious manner.
"Brooke, can you and Lab help me transport something from Fishman Island to here? And then help me transport it back. There are people who can pick me up in both places. This is Den Den Mushi. It's very simple and basically not dangerous."
"Of course it's no problem, Noah. Lab and I have always wanted to thank you, so leave it to me this time."
After that, Noah walked out of Lab's body and boarded the Voyager to Gaya Island. On the back of the island, Noah met up with Long. Long also brought two helpers. They were the Shemale King Ambrio Ivankov and the future Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma. These two also played a key role in this plan. After waiting for a while, the sea surface rolled, and Tiger and Jinbei also came to meet.
As middlemen, Long and Noah gave everyone a brief introduction, and after everyone got to know each other, they started talking about business.
This time the plan was made by Noah, so he should also be the one to explain it.
“This Marijoa liberation movement is our first shot against this old world, and it must be loud.
The primary goal this time is to liberate the slaves, and the rest is to give the world government a blow to the heart and spread our ideas. Let the people on the sea know that there are still some stubborn people who refuse to bow their heads.
But the reality is that the gap between our strength and that of Mary Geoise is too big. So we have to use blitzkrieg and try to complete all tasks within a few hours. Now let's analyze the opponent's top combat power.
Navy Admiral Sengoku, Hero Garp, Black Arm Zephyr, three candidates for Admiral: Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, World Government Army Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Sora, CP General. It is not ruled out that there are still hidden masters in the World Government. The Five Elders do not need to be considered for the time being, they should have some restrictions and basically will not take action. "
Everyone felt dizzy after hearing this. The enemy was too powerful. Can we really succeed with only this much strength? It was fine if others were shocked, but Noah was speechless when he saw Tiger was also shocked. In the original book, you killed your way to the Holy Land alone and liberated the slaves. I really couldn't accept your shock.
"But don't be afraid. I have made some preparations for this plan. First of all, Sengoku and Zephyr are almost done with each other, so they won't appear on the battlefield. Garp is in the East China Sea taking care of his grandson, so he probably has no plans to come back in the short term. Kizaru has gone to take charge of the G1 branch, and after we take action, even Flash Man won't be back so soon, after all, he didn't really turn into light."
When everyone heard this, although there was still a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, there was some hope.
"Then, I plan to implement a plan to move the Sea Kings away from the Calm Belt on Gaya Island, and have most of the CP division's combat power and at least one Marine Commodore come over. We can create a time difference so that we can raid the Holy Land of Marijoa."
Hearing this, everyone present admired Noah's plan.
