12 Ch 12: Zephyr

Around this time, the popularity of IIussion brothel had soared throughout the Grand Line.

Even the Marineford was bustling with people who could not wait to visit the Illusion brothel. But sometimes, the Illusion brothel could bring something more than just satisfying a person's lust.

Inside the Marineford, a beautiful girl with blue hair, Ainz had just heard the report of her subordinates about Illusion Brothel, and her eyes could not help but glimmer.

Of course, it was not like she wanted to visit the illusion Brothel on her own. Rather, she found this Illusion Brothel might be the key to helping her teacher heal the wound in his heart.

Even though the main business of Illusion brothel was to let someone have their "time" with a people of their choice, it doesn't mean that it was all it could do.

And Ainz guessed another usage of Illusion brothel.

She didn't waste any time and immediately went toward ex-Admiral Zephyr's room, where in her path, she met her partner, Binz.

" Hmm? Ainz, what the hurry?"

Binz said. It was rare for Ainz to be this temperamental, and he could not help but ask.

However, contrary to his expectations, Ainz didn't answer him and just drag his hand.

" Binz, what nice timing. Follow me. We should get to the teacher right now."

" ???? "

Binz had a lot of questions on his mind. Nonetheless, he still followed Ainz to Zephyr's room. Ainz later told both Zephyr and Binz about the Illusion Brothel and its possibility.

Both Zephyr and Binz at this time had shocked displayed on their face, and Zephyr was deep in thought as he heard the possibilities that Ain said.

" This… Is this possible.."

Zephyr's voice was filled with disbelief as he heard Ainz's explanation about the illusion brothel.

Though he knew it was all just an illusion, it didn't diminish the fact that Zephyr could meet his deceased family and students.

Zephyr might act strong in front of everyone, but he knew clearly that in his deepest heart, he had a lot of guilt for both his deceased family and students.

And it was the one that burdened him so that he could not even continue being a marine,

So if there was a chance, all Zephyr wanted was nothing more than to meet them one last time and apologize.

" Teacher.."

Ain saw Zephyr become silent, and a trace of worry appeared on her heart. What if the teacher actually dislikes the idea?

She was ready to persuade Zephyr one more time, but at this time, something happened.

The ex-Admiral. The one that brought fear to countless Pirates actually began to have his eye moist.

If not for the fact that he was in front of his two beloved students, Zephyr would have teared up. But in front of his students, there was still a face that needed to be kept.

Ain and Binz saw this and didn't say anything. They just smiled at each other as they felt their teacher might finally find what was lost in his life.

The silence continued for a while, and only after five minutes Zephyr finally recovered.

And now, he was looking at both Ain and Binz.

" Ain, Binz. This is a personal request of mine. Could you two accompany me to the so-called Illusion brothel? It might all just be an illusion, but I still wanted to meet them one more time."

Ain and Binz heard this and smiled. Looking at their teacher now had the light of hope in his eyes, their heart gradually grew warm.

After all this time, it seems their teacher was finally ready to untie the knot on his heart.

Without hesitation, the two immediately nodded, and they began to prepare to come to the Sullivan Kingdom.

. . . . . . . .

On Cade's side, he didn't realize that a Shicibukai and ex-Admiral were eyeing him.

Right now, Cade was thinking about how to get more people to go to Illusion Brothel.

About two years from now would be the Marineford war, it means that if nothing changed, the seas would be very turbulent in about two years.

Even if Cade had decided to not join the Marineford war and be salted fish, it didn't mean that he didn't have any worry in his heart.

In this world, without strength, he would only be an easy target for others, so now he wanted to increase his strength.

His Devil Fruit was unique. It could absorb people's Mental strength and turn it into his own.

Nonetheless, it also had a limit. Recently Cade felt the growth from absorbing civilians' Mental strength was too slow, and even if there was some Marine who would come and visit, the number was way too small.

At this kind of situation, a lot of thoughts began to emerge in Cade's mind.

Though he didn't want to admit it, maybe it was the right time to start acting on the pirates.

The Pirates might be lawless and barbaric, but Cade felt like the progress brought by them would be better than normal civilians.

An evil smile began to emerge on Cade's face as the plan on his head was formed, and when he saw the door was opened from outside and Lake come to bring him food, the smile on his face became wider than ever.

" Lake, my trusted subordinate, you really came at the right time."

Cade said, which for some reason made Lake regret he had come at this kind of timing.

Lake: "...."

Lake: ' Why do I feel like I've come at the worst time possible…'
