Kaizen looked calm, without any exaggeration.
"Zefa-san, don't be ungrateful. You know I hate publicity, but for more important things, I have to make an exception. Saying goodbye to friends is a big event in life. Don't you agree?"
Kaizen moved his wrist and said confidently, then added, as if recalling something.
"We're already friends, right? Zefa-san?"
Friends? Ridiculous!
How could Black Arm Zephyr become friends with a pirate?
Isn't this the most absurd thing in the world?
However, Zephyr looked back at Kaizen. The wind blew his hair slightly, and his face, with a hint of a beard, showed the meaningful wear of experience.
Is he really a pirate?
Would a pirate be like him, unwilling to even say a harsh word?
Searching every corner of his face, no arrogance or despicable thoughts were found.
Zephyr was full of questions.
His smile seemed to know everything in the world, and the confidence in his chest was different from ordinary people.
Who is this man?
In the end, there was only this endless question.
"Tch, he's such a nosy guy. Let's have a fight next time we meet! If you lose, follow the path of justice with me."
As Zephyr spoke, he left without looking back. His words contained both a farewell and a challenge.
Kaizen did not watch him go. There was no need for sympathy in a farewell between men. As long as you survive the days to come, and I am not dead, we will meet again on this sea.
"Then let's deal with these menacing guys in front of us!"
Kaizen stared at the huge pirate ship and the ferocious pirates on board, speaking coldly yet with interest.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Seeing Kaizen's prepared stance, Buggy panicked, and his hands flew over to grab his collar.
"The Marine generals are gone, and they don't want to deal with this trivial matter. There's no reason for us to take over this mess. You must know the other party is the Brand Pirates with a thousand crew members!"
Buggy then came over and said softly to Kaizen.
"Oh? Captain Buggy, what do you mean?" Kaizen asked knowingly.
"Let's run away!" Buggy thought Kaizen didn't understand, so he widened his eyes with expectation.
"Escape? It's too troublesome. It's easier to go up and teach these arrogant people a lesson."
Behind him, Fujitora held the hilt of his sword and said in a ready tone.
"Hey! Blind man, shut up!" Buggy couldn't bear to hear such words now, so he quickly stopped Fujitora.
At this time, there was a commotion on the Brand pirate ship.
Seeing Zephyr leave made them excited, and several big and powerful pirates came down from the ship.
These pirates had ferocious eyes, machetes in their hands, and faces full of menace. They were clearly not good people.
As they passed Kaizen and the others, the pirates didn't even glance at them. Their goal was clear: to catch Zephyr.
It seems these arrogant guys don't know who they're provoking.
Really, in this era, there are still people who don't know Black Arm Zephyr. These short-sighted guys truly deserve their fate.
"Hey! Excuse me, gentlemen, where are you going?"
Kaizen put his hands in his pockets, bent slightly, and asked with a hint of menace.
"You know we're bad guys and you dare to greet us? Normally, we'd rip your head off."
The big men didn't bother, as if they received orders from their captain to ignore distractions.
"Stop!" Kaizen saw they had no intention of attacking him and were only chasing Zephyr. He immediately became angry and shouted at them like an order.
The pirate crew stopped and turned back to stare at Kaizen seriously.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"Maybe his brain is broken!"
They stared at Kaizen and discussed, as if he were an obstacle.
"Is your captain Brand?" Kaizen asked calmly.
"Do we really have to answer this idiot?"
"If we're late and don't catch the guy with the mechanical arm, the captain will kill us."
They ignored Kaizen's words and planned to leave.
"Your Captain Brand is undoubtedly the most useless being on this sea."
Kaizen suddenly said this with such confidence that Buggy couldn't stop him.
In an instant, a thick silence filled the area around the pirate crew.
"You actually provoked us, you're seeking death!"
The pirate crew turned and charged at Kaizen, waving their machetes.
Kaizen stood coldly, found the right moment to strike the leader, and then punched with force, taking down the pirates behind him.
With just one punch, he defeated them all.
The others on the pirate ship couldn't help but applaud if it weren't for the fact that it was their own crewmates who were beaten.
Kaizen didn't dwell on his impressive move but kept his eyes on the pirate ship.
"These guys won't give up! Then let me take the initiative!"
Since action requires decisiveness, being hesitant and overthinking is not what a man does.
As he said this, Kaizen used force in his feet and jumped onto the pirate ship.
"Let's join the fun!" Fujitora followed closely, keeping pace with Kaizen, and easily jumped onto the deck.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're all hot-blooded, but there are a thousand people on the other side, they will die!" Buggy stood by, shouting at their backs, almost in tears.
"Tch! Damn it. The worst case scenario is dying with you. I can't be a captain who abandons his crew!" Buggy finally gritted his teeth and boarded the pirate ship.
"Damn it! Damn it Marine, don't blame us for bullying the minority, because we are pirates who want to kill everyone without a sense of civilization at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless guns were pointed at Kaizen and the others who had just boarded the boat.
Previously mistaken for a pirate, now mistaken for a Marine.
Whichever side you choose, you become the enemy of the other!
Damn it, haven't you had enough fun for me?
Kaizen patted his forehead, thinking helplessly.
So why did he get on the pirate ship to deal with these pirates?
To punish evil and promote good, or to keep a promise?
None!
For him, the most important thing is to be spontaneous, do whatever comes to mind, live without restraint, and live a carefree life is the best.
