Chapter 426 Zefa
Chapter 426 Zefa
"Mr. Zefa, you must be very careful..."
The muscular old man with flying purple hair was lying on the hospital bed. Although he still looked very strong, the instruments inserted into his body showed that the chief naval instructor was seriously ill.
The person who was in charge of Zephyr's physical examination was Trafalgar Law, a young doctor from Frevans who had become famous in recent years. With his superb medical skills and unique devil fruit abilities, he quickly made a name for himself in the medical community. Many people believed that Law would be the world's number one doctor in the future.
The great pirates who roamed the New World, the kings of the underworld, the wealthy businessmen, the high-ranking officials of the World Government, the kings of the allied countries, and even the world's noble celestial dragons, countless big figures in the pirate world all vied to extend olive branches to Law, just to ask him to help them check their bodies.
Even the Navy Headquarters had to ask Luo for help.
The Navy’s medical technology is quite advanced, but there are inevitably some difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be solved, or operations that are difficult to perform.
The one who came most often was the chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters, Zefa. He had an old problem called asthma, which was difficult to cure, and he had to ask Luo to check it out almost every few months.
Coincidentally, the establishment of this relationship between the Navy Headquarters and Law is closely related to Zephyr.
At the beginning, Zephyr was seriously injured after the battle with Edward Weeble. In emergency, he went to Wano Country for treatment, and the operation was performed by Luo.
Zephyr praised Law's medical skills highly. From then on, organizing senior naval officers to go to Wano Country for physical examinations became an unspoken project of the Navy Headquarters.
Logically speaking, as a naval general, privately contacting "pirates" is an act of violating military discipline.
But Luo's examination was really effective. Several naval generals underwent surgery by Luo, completing the first surgery in their lives.
Considering that Profek is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Law is not a pirate in the strict sense, so this behavior is tacitly approved.
As a result, nowadays in Wano Country, you can often see the generals of the Navy Headquarters. Wano Country is even jokingly called another major base of the Navy in the New World besides G5.
It is said that among all the senior naval officers, only two have never been to Wano Country - the current Marshal Sengoku, and "Akainu" Sakaski, one of the three admirals of the navy.
In response, Profik said that these paparazzi may have some vision, but they are still too naive.
Sakaski aside, Sengoku actually came to Wano Country. When Zephyr was injured, Sengoku, who was worried about the safety of his old comrade, went outside the Marine Headquarters and Marijoa for the first time after becoming the Admiral of the Navy.
As a result, after arriving in Wano Country, Sengoku discovered that Zephyr, who was originally seriously injured, had already been out of danger under Law's treatment and was in the "hospital observation period". Under the recommendation of Zephyr, an old friend, the Navy Admiral also experienced the medical technology of the Pirate Country.
"How is the teacher's health?"
A female navy with long, smooth sea-blue hair and wearing a navy "Justice" cloak rushed into the treatment room.
"Ain," Zefa stopped his favorite student's impulsive behavior, "It is not appropriate to interrupt the doctor's treatment."
"Mr. Zefa is in very good health, but he has suffered too many injuries over the years, plus..." Luo hesitated and turned his head to look at Zefa.
"Kid, who do you think I am?" The old navy glared at the young doctor angrily, "Just say what you want to say!"
Trafalgar Law continued, "Plus, he was seriously injured in the battle with Edward Weeble, which made his asthma worse. If it weren't for his strong physique, it would be a miracle that he is still alive."
Although Luo was young, he was already a very experienced doctor. Among the patients he had seen, the injuries accumulated on Zefa were enough to be considered shocking.
"You must take your medication on time every day to control your condition. It's best not to do strenuous exercise, let alone fight. Although I've said it many times, I still have to remind you that fighting will make your condition worse. If your asthma attacks during a fight, the consequences will be disastrous."
"You should have a deep understanding of this."
In that battle a few years ago, it was because of an asthma attack that Zefa lost an arm. If Profik, who happened to be doing business nearby, had not received the distress signal and arrived in time, the entire cadets of the naval training camp, and even Zefa himself, would have been in danger of death.
"Teacher Zefa..." Ain's eyes were full of worry and guilt.
The main reason why Zefa's physical condition deteriorated to this point was to protect these students. If Edward Weeble hadn't gone crazy and attacked the naval cadets on the warship, Zefa could have retreated calmly even if he had an asthma attack.
If...if she had been a little stronger at that time, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
"Don't look so sad!" Zefa laughed loudly, wantonly showing the cheerfulness he had gained from decades of fighting on the sea. "Don't worry, I won't give up until all the pirates in this world are wiped out!"
Zephyr is an old-school navy man. He doesn’t care about his health. As long as he can wipe out the pirates, it is worth it even if he dies on the battlefield.
"Why, Mr. Zefa," said Profick, who was sitting nearby, half-jokingly, "are you going to 'eliminate' me too?"
"You are the last one." Zefa said half seriously and half jokingly.
The two have met many times and are already quite familiar with each other. Zephyr's impression of Profik can be considered "good". Profik's existence has even affected Zephyr's attitude towards the pirate group to a certain extent.
His wife and children were killed by pirates, but his own life was saved by pirates. Zefa couldn't help but sigh that life is really unpredictable.
Profek muttered, "Really, I thought I could get away with it!"
Profique did not take the threat from the old navy officer too seriously. Zefa was old, his physical condition was deteriorating, and his combat power was no longer as strong as before. Although he could still maintain the strength of an "admiral" for a short period of time, he could only get weaker, not stronger.
Although Profick has been active in this sea for more than ten years, he is only in his thirties. His physical strength and physical fitness have not even reached their peak. He will only become stronger in the future and is not afraid of Zefa's pursuit at all.
Besides, there are countless pirates on the sea, and none of them resist. They allow Zefa to catch them, and he will catch them until the end of time. When it is really "Profek's turn", no one knows when it will be.
"Mr. Zefa, the medicines to be sold to the navy this time are also ready."
Hearing Profique's words, Zefa stood up and said, "It's time for me to leave."
Zephyr came to Wano Country and told the outside world that he was responsible for purchasing and escorting the latest medicines purchased by the navy from Wano Country.
Before leaving, Zefa shook hands with Profik.
"all the best!"
"all the best!"
After Zefa left, Profik turned his eyes to a piece of paper in his hand, which Zefa had secretly slipped into his hand when they shook hands.
The note said: "Be careful, the Five Elders may take action against you."
Profik's expression suddenly became solemn.
