From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 102 I heard you don’t have any children.
After enjoying two puffs of Zefa's high-end cigar, the former admiral, Smoker didn't smoke again and directly put out the cigar in the ashtray.

Because he knew that Zefa was not in good health and the smoke would affect him.

That’s right, Zefa suffers from severe congenital asthma, and the reason for his previous defeat was also related to the sudden onset of this disease.

Nowadays, his physical condition has deteriorated. When he gets excited occasionally, he even needs to inhale spray medicine to relieve his discomfort, which seriously affects his performance.

With the Navy's medical support system, it is difficult for Zefa to completely cure this congenital disease.

He can only be given conservative treatment. Some doctors have suggested that Zefa undergo some high-tech surgeries, but after the operations, Zefa would have to retreat to the second line and would never be able to fight with others easily again.

However, Zephyr was unable to accept this kind of treatment, because he still had hatred in his heart and did not want to completely lose his power. The admiral who was once known as the "non-killing" one now had blood on his hands. Later, when the pirate who killed many of his students became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he felt that he was completely betrayed by the navy and went to the real extreme.

"Bane is a good friend I met in the East China Sea. He also yearns for justice in his heart and will join our navy in the future. He told me a long time ago that he admires you, Teacher Zefa very much. This time he came to the headquarters and said that he hopes to visit you no matter what." Smoker, the middleman, quickly spoke for Bane.

"Hahahaha." Zefa laughed happily after hearing this, and then said modestly: "I am just an old man with illness now. Are you disappointed after seeing me?"

"How could that be?" Bane immediately shook his head and said, "Your injuries are a testament to your honor. You have made an indelible contribution to the strength of the Navy today."

"I am very pleased to be recognized and respected by young people like you." Zefa said with emotion.

However, Bane was keenly aware of the helplessness and pain that flashed across his eyes.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Dr. Kinos, a top biological scientist and my partner. I came to visit you specially this time in the hope of helping you solve some problems." Bane patted the shoulder of Dr. Kinos who was sitting next to him.

"Oh?" Zefa asked with some confusion: "My problem? What's the problem?"

"Some minor issues with your health," Bane said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa's expression became a little strange. He then looked at Dr. Kinos seriously and said, "You mean, this doctor can cure my disease?"

"Congenital asthma is mostly caused by some genetic defects and deficiencies. Conventional medical methods are indeed difficult to cure." Dr. Kinos pushed his glasses and said confidently: "But for me, this is not a problem."

Seeing such a confident Dr. Genos, Zefa was also surprised. He looked at Smoker again, and found that Smoker also looked confused.

Before the two of them could have a chance to talk, Dr. Kinos continued, "Not only that, I can also solve your disability problem. I have developed a very stable and safe solution to the limb regeneration problem."

At this moment, Zefa couldn't sit still anymore, and his aura couldn't help but emanate from him. He looked at Bane and Kinos and said, "If you come to tease me, I will be really angry!"

As he grows older and suffers from physical illness, Zefa's strength has declined by 70% compared to his heyday. When fighting with the enemy, he can only maintain his peak state for a short time, and then quickly fall into weakness. This feeling makes him, who is full of hatred and was once a top master on the sea, very uncomfortable.

If he has a happy life, it would be nice for him to just enjoy his retirement life in comfort.

But now, he can't let it go, so he has a great need to be able to restore his strength.

However, he couldn't easily believe that Bane and Kinos suddenly brought up such a topic after just meeting!
This communication is too crude! Is this what you said on your first meeting?
"Senior, this is the headquarters of the Navy!" Bane said in a deep voice, looking at Zefa who was a little excited.

These words also made Zefa's mind brighten. Yes, this is the headquarters of the navy. They came here from far away, there is no way they are here to make fun of him, and they dare not do anything to murder him here. Otherwise, there is no way they can walk out of this island alive!
He is an old man in his early seventies, so he shouldn't be targeted like this, right?
"What price do I have to pay?" Zefa quickly regained his composure and asked directly.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. He has been traveling across the ocean for decades and knows this truth very well.

"Senior, to be honest, I am an ambitious person. The reason why I want to join the navy is that on the one hand, I do have the idea of justice, and on the other hand, I also want to use the power of the navy to achieve my ambitions, so I need to quickly get strong support in the navy. After thinking about it, I think only you can give me this support." Bane also said directly. "So, you value my influence and prestige in the navy, right?" Zefa unconsciously lit another cigar and said.

"That's right," Bane admitted, nodding.

"I can accept you as my apprentice. There are many generals in the navy who are students taught by me. If you can become my disciple, we will become fellow apprentices. Many things will be much easier. In this headquarters, there will be someone to take care of you." Zefa exhaled a puff of smoke and softly gave his conditions.

In fact, for Zefa, this was a bit of a free-for-all. After all, Zhan Guo had just greeted him before, so Zefa had originally thought about taking Bane as his apprentice, not only Bane, but also his companions.

"Not enough." Bane said solemnly.

"Any more won't be appropriate, Bane." Zefa shook his head when he heard that.

He was tempted by the offer from Bane, but it was not so great that he could not refuse. He longed to restore his strength and health, but he could not meet Bane's conditions indefinitely.

The atmosphere fell silent. Dr. Kinos sat next to Bane without saying a word. It was obvious that he obeyed Bane's orders completely. Smoker felt very embarrassed. Bane was such a bastard. He didn't even tell him in advance about such a big thing before coming. He was now feeling uneasy.

After a few minutes, Ben spoke again: "Senior, I can promise that after getting your support, I will stand by your side unwaveringly and support you with all my strength!"

"Oh?" Zefa's eyes flashed with obscurity, and then he smiled and said, "I am now just an old man who has retired to the second line and can barely do some activities on the sea. What support do you need?"

Nothing can happen all at once, and the same goes for the new navy. The subsequent matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea can only be said to be a fuse that caused the powder keg of Zefa to explode. But in fact, from his formation of the pirate guerrillas, it can be seen that Zefa already had some ideas and preparations in his mind, but no one is thinking about it now.

After all, he is a former naval admiral. After all, he is the naval principal who has trained so many outstanding generals!

Before he really went crazy, who could have thought he would go this far? If Zhan Guo and the others had noticed it earlier, the situation would not have developed to such a bad point.

This is a completely illogical incident of "Why is Your Majesty rebelling?"

But now, there are less than two years left before Zefa sets up a new navy. Judging from the results, there is no doubt that Zefa must have had those signs in his mind.

"Well, you guys continue chatting. I'm going to go out for some fresh air. I'm craving for a cigarette." Smoker stepped forward and snatched Zephyr's cigar, then ran away.

He couldn't stay in this place for a moment!
After Smoker left, Bane spoke up, "To be honest, I have prepared trillions of Baileys in funds, as well as a huge intelligence and funding organization, which can guarantee a stable source of income and military supplies."

"Cough cough cough" When Zefa heard this, he was so scared that he started coughing and almost had an asthma attack.

After finally suppressing his emotions, he looked at Ben with a complicated look and said, "How do you know those inappropriate thoughts in my mind?
"There are many ways to see the future in this ocean, but they just haven't paid attention to you," Bane said generally.

As a big boss in the navy, Zefa has seen more of the world than Bane. After hearing this, he fell silent and didn't ask any more questions.

After a long time, Zefa asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

"Senior, I heard that you don't have any children and my parents passed away early. If you don't mind, I would like to take care of you in your old age!" Bane really dared to speak and looked at Zefa sincerely.

Zefa never expected that he would do this, and he just sat on the sofa in a daze.
