Chapter 90 A call for help from an unknown area!

The domineering aura released by Tsugumi Yoshiichi instantly covered the three pirate ships.

The pirates who rushed towards the deck of the warship were unable to withstand the influence of Jigoku Yoshiichi's domineering aura. Their eyes turned white and they fell down one after another.

Some pirates who were less lucky fell into the sea as soon as they stood on the wooden ladder and were swallowed by the waves.

Originally, Kuzan and Yoriichi were planning to train their troops, but as the marines on their ship were defeated by the pirates in one encounter, Yoriichi no longer had such an idea and took direct action to control the battlefield.

"What happened? The pirates fell in an instant?"

"What's going on?!"

The pirates fell to the ground silently. The marines on the deck were all surprised to see this scene and cried out in surprise. Kuzan looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi who released his domineering aura to overwhelm the pirates and raised his eyebrows. He couldn't help but sigh:

"After not seeing you for over a year, your control over Conqueror's Haki has reached this level."

"He can actually release Haki in the same targeted way as Vice Admiral Garp."

"Yuichi, what is your current strength?"

Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not answer Kuzan's words. To be honest, he himself didn't know what level of strength he had. He made a simple assessment and thought that his strength should have reached the level of a candidate for admiral.

but

If the admiral relies purely on the power of the fruit and does not have strong Haki, it is not impossible to defeat the admiral as long as he is given the opportunity to take the initiative.

He hasn't fought against any strong men recently, and doesn't know what methods the top strong men have, so it's better to be humble and conservative in his assessment of himself.

Seeing that Ji Guoyuanyi just smiled and didn't answer, Kuzan didn't ask any more questions. Whether Ji Guoyuanyi was strong or weak, he was still his adjutant.

Kuzan began to organize his troops and ordered the marines to clean up the battlefield.

The three pirate ships that attacked their warships seemed to be from the same pirate group. After the battle, the marines inspected the three pirate ships one after another and found the same pirate flag on different ships.

"Throw all the pirates into the sea. We need to hurry and don't have time to send these people to push the city forward."

"All food and fresh water should be stored in our own warehouse. All gold, silver and treasures on the pirate ship should be stored together and records should be kept."

"Everyone, rest assured, everyone will receive their due rewards after defeating the pirates this time. Don't keep them for yourself!"

"Carefully search the cabin to see if there are any pirates left behind, or if there are any civilians captured by the pirates."

"Spray, hurry up!"

Kuzan stood on the deck and loudly directed the crew to clean up the battlefield.

Several marines on the ship were at the forefront during the pirate attack and were seriously injured. After some people were arranged to take care of them, the remaining marines quickly began to act according to Kuzan's orders.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi wasn't watching at the moment, having gone to another ship to help the marines move supplies. Kuzan stood on the deck and watched for a while, relieved to see that his marines were doing their work in an orderly manner. He jumped onto the main mast in a few leaps and observed the situation on the sea from the observation deck.

“Plop!”

“Plop!”

The unconscious pirates were thrown into the sea one by one. The marines on Kuzan's ship had never experienced any brutal battles and were under considerable pressure when doing this.

There were also several young Marines vomiting while cleaning up the headless corpses on their deck.

For a moment, the warship was filled with a "strong" smell.

Soon, the marines stored food and other supplies on their warships, and then Ji Kuniyoshi swung his sword to cut off the three pirate ships, and then the warships slowly sailed away from the sea area.

The waves crashed over, covering up everything that had happened here before.

The first battle in the New World made Kuzan realize the shortcomings of his crew. After recognizing this reality, Kuzan also hardened his heart. When he encountered a pirate ship again, he no longer took the initiative to attack, so that the crew could get used to naval battles.

After a few rounds of bombardment, Kuzan will use the power of his fruit to freeze the pirate ship he encounters, and then a close-range boarding battle will follow.

The purpose is to allow the crew to accumulate enough combat experience.

However, the sailors on Kuzan's ship were too weak, and the pirates from the New World were too powerful for them. Therefore, the sailors would often be defeated at the beginning of the boarding battle.

Often at this time, it would be Yoshiichi Tsugikuni and Kuzan who would take action.

After sailing in the New World for a week, the supplies on Kuzan's ship were almost full. The marines had experienced more than a dozen battles, large and small. Although they all lost, the aura of these marines was very different from when they went to sea.

On the sea, the detachment led by Kuzan had just successfully defeated another pirate group. On board was a "big" pirate with a bounty of 20 million berries. This was the first pirate with a bounty of 10 million berries they had encountered since they went to sea.

However, the battle with the opponent ended very quickly. The "big" pirate with 20 million worth of money could not withstand the domineering aura of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

After spending some time together, the marines on the ship also learned about some of Tsugakuni Yoriichi's abilities and knew about the concept of Conqueror's Haki, so they were quite in awe of the young adjutant Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

"There are so many pirates in the New World! We've only been sailing for a week, and we've already encountered more than a dozen pirate groups, right?"

"And they were all 'chance encounters'."

"This world is truly a mess!"

On the deck, Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan stood together, watching the crew quickly clean up the battlefield, Kuzan couldn't help but sigh.

"Didn't you already know about this kind of thing?"

"Isn't that why you joined the Navy?"

Ji Guoyuan glanced at Kuzan beside him and replied casually. Kuzan nodded after hearing this.

Just as the two were chatting, a marine suddenly ran out of the cabin, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand that was "booming", and his face was full of anxiety.

"Brigadier General Kuzan, Colonel Jiguo Yuanyi, something's happening!"

"This is the emergency contact phone bug on our warship. There's movement!"

As the Marine said this, he handed the Den Den Mushi in his hand to Kuzan. Seeing this, Kuzan looked at Yoriichi and quickly picked up the receiver.

Before Kuzan could speak, a terrified cry for help came from the other side of the receiver:

“Great!!! Great!!!”

"Finally someone picked up the phone!"

"Save me, save us! Anyone can come, please save us quickly."

"This is Fuyuwu Island! I'm Hai from E-64th Branch!!"

After a scream, silence fell from the Den Den Mushi. Kuzan's expression froze, and he quickly called "Hello" several times into the receiver, but no one answered.

Just as Kuzan was about to put the receiver back and go to the cockpit to find the location of Dongwu Island, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the receiver:

“Slurp, slurp, slurp~”

"Navy?"

"I'm warning you, don't get in my way, or this will be your fate!"

As he was speaking, a shrill scream was heard from the other end of the receiver. The scream lasted for a while and then stopped abruptly. Then a sinister laugh was heard from the receiver and then it turned into a busy tone.

“——”

On the deck, the Marine who was delivering the message also heard the voice coming from the receiver. He felt his hair stand on end and was frightened by the screams. He stood straight for a moment.

Kuzan, who was holding the receiver, also had a gloomy expression on his face. The joy he had just felt after defeating the pirates was gone.

"This is a provocation to our navy!"

"Yuichi, we can't just sit there and do nothing!"

As Kuzan spoke, he felt a flame burning in his chest. He tried hard to control his emotions and forced himself to calm down.

Yuan Yi, who was standing next to Kuzan, glanced at Kuzan, nodded slightly, and said:

"Of course."

The two agreed.

Seeing this, Kuzan no longer hesitated and went directly to the cockpit to investigate the location of Dongwu Island.
