Pirate Bloody Hand Mary - Chapter 476
c475 Visit (Part 1)
Murphy City is not only the capital of the new government, but also the headquarters of the Navy in the new era.
Strictly speaking, there are a total of six different satellite cities built around Murphy City, each with different political functions. One of the satellite cities in the south is the headquarters of the New Era Navy.
In the training ground of the new navy headquarters, a strong old man with white hair was sitting in the stands, watching the training of hundreds of recruits.
These recruits are elites from all over the world, trained by him personally. After these recruits leave the army, they will be awarded the lowest rank of lieutenant colonel and go to various places around the world.
And this gray-haired old man is the former Navy Chief Instructor – Black Wrist Zefa, who is now famous on the sea.
He has brought out countless outstanding students. In the past, there were the three generals of the red, green, and yellow navy of the old era. Later, there were Blood Hand and Pansy (Ashe), who respectively represented the pinnacle of the navy in the old era and the CP of the former world government. Two people from an agency supernova.
It can be said that people who want to become his students are flocking to him, but now Zefa no longer accepts disciples.
Now his students can only call him Mr. Zefa, but not teacher.
Only half a year had passed since that battle, and Zefa’s hair had completely changed from dark purple short hair to pale, dry short hair. The years have finally left many traces on this old man.
He originally wanted to retire, but he has not brought up the matter. And Warring States and others also knew why Zefa was still here.
“Huh… the quality of this batch of students is pretty good, better than the previous batch.”
Ain walked over to Zefa, holding some clipboards in his hands. She is now one of Zefa’s vice-admirals, and her main responsibility is to assist Zuo Zefa in training new soldiers.
Binz led the last batch of recruits brought out by Zefa – the first batch of recruits recruited after the establishment of the new government to train in the new world. Although there are no pirates in today’s new world, the violent weather can still exercise the strength of the navy.
“It’s not bad.” Zefa nodded, “Although there is nothing particularly outstanding, the overall quality is very high. I think there should be many strong men with the strength of a lieutenant general in the future.”
“I don’t know if I can bring out a new generation of naval pillars in my lifetime.”
Looking at Zefa, whose face was somewhat solemn, Ain hesitated to speak.
The level of this batch of recruits is actually quite high. At least Ain feels that many of them are more talented than himself.
But…she can also understand why Zefa said this.
After all, I am afraid of comparison in everything. Which of the six students Zefa brought out recently is not the monster among monsters?
Compared with those few people, there really aren’t many people in this group worth paying attention to.
“Okay, why are you looking at me? Give me the clipboard, and then go do your work.” Zefa laughed and scolded, “You will take over my burden in the future, so you can get more familiar with the business now.”
“Yes!” Ain also smiled and saluted, handed the information in his hand to Zefa and turned to leave.
Zefa flipped through the record board in his hand and analyzed the specific situation of this group of students.
Then I skillfully wrote down a lot of training methods, and then started to arrange the training plan step by step.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but just as he was concentrating on the work at hand, a voice sounded behind him.
“Teacher Zefa.”
“Check.”
The tip of Zefa’s fast-writing pen suddenly stopped.
He no longer allows new soldiers to call him teacher. Those who can call him teacher are the older generation of navy.
Among these navies, there is one person whose voice is very recognizable.
Because there was only one person who called him teacher, and his voice was as childish as a child’s.
He stood up abruptly and looked behind him.
A petite figure wearing a black cloak stood behind him on the platform slightly higher than him.
For a while, the two of them stared at each other for a long time.
Mary took off her cloak and looked at the old Zefa with an embarrassed smile.
“Teacher…I’m back.”
“Kacha!”
Zefa abruptly broke the pen in his hand.
…
“It’s been more than half a year since you came to see me. I even suspect that you have forgotten me!”
Zephyr and Mary, one large and one young, walked side by side on the avenue of the naval base.
Zefa’s expression was quite unpleasant, and as he spoke, he hit Mary hard on the head with his fist.
Black Wrist’s physical skills should not be underestimated. Mary was staggered by one punch.
“How is it possible…how could I forget you, teacher…”
Mary covered her head and said with a playful smile.
Zefa snorted coldly and cursed:
“You haven’t contacted me for so long. I thought you died somewhere.”
“Huh, but it’s okay. My face looks a lot rosier. I’m having a good time during this period!”
And this scene also attracted the attention of many people in the base.
Zefa is also considered a celebrity in the naval base. Although Mary is also famous, she has not appeared in the public eye for more than half a year. Most people did not realize who the person next to Zefa was at first.
But it didn’t take long for someone to realize… Which children can chat and laugh with Zefa at the Navy Headquarters?
For a time, the news of Bloody-Hand Mary’s appearance at the Navy Headquarters swept the entire Murphy City like a violent storm.
Zefa and Mary arrived at the fifth floor of the Navy Headquarters Building. The conference room where the top brass of the Navy held major meetings was on this floor.
Pushing the door open and walking into the conference room, there were already many people sitting in the conference room.
Dragon, Sengoku, Garp, Vivi, Sabo, Akainu, Ichi…
Old acquaintances from the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and the Desert Alliance were all there.
“Zefa is also here.” Warring States nodded, “Then everyone is here.”
“call……”
Aokiji fell asleep on the table at some point, and Kizaru on the side kicked him to wake him up.
“What? What? Ahh… Mary is here.”
He raised his head in confusion, saw Mary in front of him, yawned and said.
Mary shook her head and smiled. Qing Zhi’s lazy look had not changed much since she first saw him.
After arranging Zefa’s place, Mary closed the door and sat on the main seat.
Now that she is sitting at the head of the table, no one has any objections.
“It’s been half a year, Mary. You don’t seem to have changed much.”
Long said this, he has gone through a lot of vicissitudes in the past six months.
In fact, except for Mary, a leisurely fisherman, the other top leaders of the new government have basically undergone many changes. Even the youngest, Weiwei and Sabo, began to have wrinkles on their faces.
Heavy tasks always make people exhausted.
“My body is like this, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Mary smiled and shook her head.
When she first traveled through time, her body panel clearly stated that her body was locked to a young girl.
“Okay, it’s finally time to get together. Now that Mary is back, it’s time to resolve the issues left over from before.”
He waved his hand and interrupted their greetings: “Let’s talk about what we want to talk about after we go to dinner… Now let’s talk about business in the conference room.”
After saying that, she glanced at Seng Guo.
Warring States nodded, then stood up, took out a dozen pieces of information and distributed them to everyone in the meeting.
“I have already put the training of the new generation on the agenda. The old guys like me, Garp, and He are already the previous generation, and it would be too shameful to stay in this position. These are the things I have done during this period. Some of the successors we have found can be trained more and take over our positions in the future.”
“Marshal of the Warring States Period just wants to retire and go fishing, right?”
Mary cursed with a smile as she took the document from Sengoku’s hand.
Warring States was also happy. He pointed at Mary and said:
“You brat, you still have the nerve to say that I want to fish? You are such a hands-off shopkeeper, you don’t know how tired Weiwei and I have been over the past six months!”
“Moreover, I am no longer a marshal.”
“It’s just that I’m used to it.”
Mary shook her head, and after accepting the file, she watched others discuss the matter.
She didn’t express any opinions of her own. Mary is very self-aware of herself. She only knows how to fight but not govern. The various thoughts she writes are based on the dictation in her memory, and she is not good at actual operations.
Just leave these political matters to others. At least she is gratified that the generation that created the new government is committed to the people.
Coupled with the theoretical guidance I gave them, even if they were completely allowed to operate freely, there would be no problem at all.
After about half an hour or so, this matter was discussed, and it was Long’s turn to stand up and hand over the information.
The content in these materials is about the red-haired pirates, Ace and others.
“The sentencing for the crimes of the Red-haired Pirates and others has basically been completed. We have also asked the people of the Red-haired Pirates, and they have no objections to these sentences.”
“However, they will not accept their sentence until you fulfill your promise, Mary.”
Long said looking at Mary.
Mary flipped through the information in her hand and murmured:
“Although he has committed a serious crime, given that he has had a relatively small substantive negative impact on the world and that he has made meritorious service to the revolution, should the sentence be reduced?”
“The entire regiment will be detained at level 6 for twenty years and will not be allowed to participate in the administrative affairs of the new government…”
Mary nodded, and then said to the others: “Everyone, please express your opinions on this item.”
“As for the promise to them, Mr. Long, contact them. I will go to the East China Sea to find them during this time.”
After that, she looked at the ceiling in a daze and said, “Some grievances are indeed time to be settled…”
“I will handle this matter.”
Mary put away Long’s information and expressed her attitude on this matter.
What is worth discussing is the prison term.
Garp and Long each had their own opinions on this issue, and they became more and more excited as they talked. The father and son, who originally disagreed with each other, looked like they were about to fight.
A group of people gathered around to watch the excitement, and Mary shook her head and laughed.
Then, she looked at Weiwei and signaled.
Weiwei nodded in understanding, took out a stack of documents from her briefcase and distributed them.
“There is one more thing here, please take a look.”
“Um?”
The two people who were arguing stopped, and everyone looked at Weiwei in surprise.
Weiwei is a very mature politician. She usually does not look for other people to handle matters, but others will come to her for advice when they encounter difficult things.
Now this is…
“Everyone, let’s take a look. This… is more important than the two things we just talked about.”
Weiwei’s expression was solemn.
Mary folded her hands gently on the table and showed a helpless smile.
…
“I didn’t expect the reaction to be so intense…”
Weiwei and Mary have already walked out of Murphy City. Recalling the meeting room that exploded not long ago, Mary couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“There’s no way, even I was shocked. Your Excellency Mary’s plan…” Weiwei shook her head, and then looked at Mary with a deep look in her eyes: “I was thinking about the theoretical guidance you gave us. It’s very difficult to do in reality…”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a way to resolve conflicts. Is this also your plan?”
“Hmm, this is indeed my plan.” Mary touched her chin, “Although it was just a temporary idea… but if you think about it carefully, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
“The premise is that they must be able to accept it.” Weiwei shook her head, “I don’t think Mr. Zefa will agree.”
“He will agree because he is my teacher. Because I promised him…” Mary shook her head as she spoke, and then looked at Weiwei next to her: “But in this case, did you accept it so easily? ?”
“The reason why I follow Your Excellency is because I think Your Excellency Mary can bring hope to the whole world… just like you did in Alabasta.”
Weiwei smiled and said: “Since this is your decision, and I can see the effect of this plan… then I can naturally understand it.”
“What’s more, if you really decide to do this, Mary, you will be the most sad, right?”
She sighed: “You always like to carry the uncomfortable things alone… This is not a good habit.”
After that, she stopped and said to Mary:
“We’re here. Your Excellency Mary, I have already notified your three companions. They should be waiting for you in front now.”
Weiwei bowed to Mary and turned to leave. There were still many things to deal with in Murphy City.
After Mary watched her leave, she turned back and looked at the giant golden tree in front of her.
“Lunalia…”
The breath of sleeping elves came from the giant tree.
She narrowed her eyes and strode forward.
…
There is a large cemetery near the Lunaria Tree.
All the soldiers who died in the War of Liberation of the Holy Land are buried in the cemetery, but not many people worship here.
Most people who want to worship go to the wordless monument in the center of Murphy City – it is the monument to the Holy Land’s Liberation War.
Those who come to the cemetery to pay their respects are usually the family members of these victims.
Mary paused for a long time in front of one of the tombstones.
“Enxia…”
Next to the tombstone in front of him was a rusty musket. Almost no one knew that this ordinary-looking musket sent the last strongest man in the world to his last journey.
No one knew that buried in this tombstone was one of the best snipers in the navy.
Mary looked at the concise and clear epitaph on the tombstone, feeling a little sad.
She realized this possibility when she saw Ai Xi carrying the gun that Enxia never left.
It was just when I was counting the victims at the end that I saw Enxia’s name – I was still a little bit emotional.
The Nxia in her memory did not get along well with her, and she was not very used to Nxia’s unconventional style of acting. But it has to be said that the other party’s caution and ruthlessness are also to her liking.
“I came to see you, Enshia. It’s the first time in a long time that I’m sorry.”
“…”
Looking at Enxia’s tombstone, Mary was silent for a long time.
She had never figured out why Enxia came to the navy before. She didn’t have a clear sense of justice like others, and she didn’t have the righteousness of the navy at all.
Until now, she didn’t understand.
But now, it doesn’t make much sense to care about these things.
“I don’t know what you want…” she said softly, “but I promise you, I will see it till the end.”
“Until it’s all over, new life…”
“I will slowly figure out why, as a bounty hunter, you fight.”
She straightened up, the autumn wind blew by, and the cloak on her body fluttered.
…
Under the Lunaria tree, Esdeath, Elio Hiiragisawa, and Enkidu were sitting on the ground.
The three of them are all characters summoned by Mary from other worlds, and they each know their roots.
After Mary came back from the cemetery, she walked straight towards the three of them.
“Yo, Mary.”
Esdeath saw Mary arriving and waved to her.
Of the three people, the one who was most familiar with Mary was Esdeath. After all, they all worked in the military system.
Mary nodded to Esdeath and sat next to the three of them.
“The four of us don’t need to say more, let’s get down to the business.” As soon as Mary sat down, she said very directly: “The three of you were not originally from this world. Now that the war is over, let me ask a question ——”
“What are your plans next?”
The meaning of Mary’s words was actually asking the three people whether they planned to stay in this world or return to their original world.
After all, they were people she brought from other worlds. If they wanted to go back, Mary respected their wishes.
Although Mary hasn’t found a way to get them back yet…
“I’ll just stay in the army here. Haha, this world is much more interesting than where I am.”
Esdeath grinned.
For her, a fighting maniac, compared to the invincible state of being in the world of Zhandou, the situation in the world of One Piece, where strong men gather together, is obviously more to her liking.
At this time, Esdeath probably hadn’t met Tazmi and was still more intoxicated with fighting.
“As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t make much difference wherever you stay.” Elio Hiiragizawa said with a smile, “But the little girl named Yamato is cute and silly. I quite like her.”
“Furthermore, the cultural development level of this world is very low, but it has a completely unmatched technological level. This may be related to the historical and philosophical development here…”
After that, he took out a book and said: “I will stay here until I study this knowledge clearly.”
Elio yearns for the unknown, and the new world is also very attractive to him.
Elliot and Esdeath expressed their opinions one after another, and Mary looked at the last person.
Enkidu waited for the two to finish speaking, then looked at Mary and said:
“The Tree of Lunaria is just sleeping, but it is still possible to wake up.”
“It needs a caretaker, and I am its caretaker now.”
After that, he smiled and said:
“When the next Watcher arrives, I will return to the Throne of Valor.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Mary nodded: “I will find a new caretaker as soon as possible.”
“sorry to bother you.”
Enkidu nodded to Mary in thanks.
Mary waved her hands quickly, then sat down and said to the three of them solemnly:
“Three of them helped me when I was in trouble and helped me get through it——”
“Thank you so much!”
“What a mother-in-law.”
Mary’s thanks were met with a disdainful curl of Esdeath’s lips.
