He got married to a beautiful young woman and had a son, both of whom were killed by a pirate he had arrested some years later. This event led to him quitting his Admiral position to become a Marine trainer. However pirates had invaded his ship and killed all his trainees (save Ain and Bins) and he lost his arm to another pirate who would later become a Warlord of the Sea during the timeskip. This was the last straw for Z, who left the Marines to form the Neo Marines]]. No wonder he hates pirates.
