Chapter 366: The Cookie Minister of Cookie Island! (Two in One)
If you want to enter the waters of the Ten Thousand Nations silently, you really don't need any special and sophisticated strategies.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni only needs to control the Rainbow Pirates and use their ships to enter the World of Nations.
Creatures like pirates...
Those who always cherish their lives are selfish. Some of Howl's crew members have already recognized Yuichiro Tsugakuni. Although they don't know why a person like Yuichiro Tsugakuni would appear in this sea area, to them, Yuichiro Tsugakuni's purpose is no longer important.
The most important thing is how they can save their lives from the hands of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his new navy have been standing in the New World for so many years, and he himself has long been notorious. Ordinary pirates would be scared to death even if they just heard his name, let alone confront Yoriichi Tsugakuni head-on.
In today's New World, the only person with a bounty exceeding 5 billion, besides Yoriichi Tsugikuni, is Whitebeard. The last person to have a bounty exceeding 5 billion was the now deceased Pirate King.
In the New World, it is often very simple to measure the strength of a "stranger". You just need to look at his bounty. The fact that Ji Guoyuan is so young but the World Government has paid such a high price for him is enough to show how threatening Ji Guoyuan is to the World Government.
In the world of pirates, an individual's threat is largely linked to his or her strength.
Howl and his crew believe that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni has reached the same level as Roger in the past and Whitebeard today, and that the word "legend" can be used to refer to Yoshiichi Tsugakuni.
The Rainbow Pirates' ship is a large ship that can accommodate nearly 500 people at a time. In fact, most of the pirate groups in the New World are large fleets.
After all, there is strength in numbers, and a large number of people also means a huge force. Elite pirate groups like the Straw Hat Pirates and the Iron Wall Pirates, which only have a dozen or twenty people, only occupy a very small number in the New World.
Without strong personal strength as a backing, the elite pirate group model cannot be played.
All the sailors accompanying Yoriichi Tsugakuni were left on the ship by Yoriichi Tsugakuni, along with Mihawk, Kuma, and Abel.
The only two people who followed Jiguo Yuanyi onto the Rainbow Pirates' ship were Yixiao and Ferland.
Mihawk's weapon is so iconic, and Kuma and Abel's size and appearance are also very prominent. After entering Cake Island, they will inevitably come into contact with other pirates, and the risk of exposure is too great.
Although Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Ichisho are much taller than ordinary people, their figures are relatively "common" in the world of pirates.
It is really easy to hide in a large fleet like the Rainbow Pirates.
The ship flying the Rainbow Pirates' pirate flag soon entered the Wanokoku waters. Tsugakuni Yoriichi did not completely trust the people on the Rainbow Pirates. Since boarding their pirate ship, he has been staying on the deck, silently observing the direction of the pirate ship.
When he noticed that the ship's route was not directly to Cake Island, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out his hand and gently patted the bruised "captain" beside him.
During the battle with Ferland, Howl was hit directly in the face by Ferland. Although the recovery abilities of the strong people in this world are terrifying, Howl has not successfully escaped the category of "ordinary people", and his face is still crooked.
Standing at the bow, Howl felt a weight on his shoulders, and his muscles tensed up. He showed an extremely ugly smile on his face, and said in a pleading tone, "Sir..."
"W-What happened?"
As he asked this, Howl's body trembled slightly, unable to contain the fear within him. He was afraid that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi might suddenly change his mind and attack him in such a place.
"Oh, don't be nervous."
"As long as you cooperate, I won't kill you."
"I'm just asking, the direction we're heading doesn't seem to be Cake Island?"
"Where are we going?!"
Ji Guoyuanyi's voice was very soft and sounded quite polite to outsiders, but when Haoer heard this, his knees went weak and he couldn't control his body and wanted to kneel down, but Ji Guoyuanyi grabbed the back of his collar and prevented him from collapsing to the ground.
Although he couldn't control his body, Howl explained very quickly:
"Don't get me wrong! I definitely don't mean to play tricks."
"MAMA's tea party officially starts tomorrow afternoon."
"Before the tea party begins, the 'guests' attending the tea party will take a break on the islands surrounding Cake Island."
"We, the Rainbow Pirates, are heading to Biscuit Island, located northwest of Cake Island."
"We won't go to Cake Island until tomorrow morning."
"Cake Island is where MAMA, her beloved children, and her officers live. Although we are a pirate group under Big Mom's command, to be honest, we are not qualified to stay overnight on Cake Island."
Howl spoke in a hurry because there was nothing at hand to prove what he said. Therefore, Howl became quite anxious after he said this. He stuck his head out and kept looking at the sea, hoping to see a passing ship to prove what he said.
"The actual date is tomorrow?"
When Ji Guoyuan heard the news, his brows slightly frowned. He had no plan to spend the night in Wanguo. The night is long and dreams are many. There are only a hundred people on the Rainbow Pirates. If they land on Biscuit Island and spend the night, it is hard to say that there will be no accidents.
At present, under the threat of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, people like Howl will cooperate obediently, but once these people see a chance to escape from Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's control, they will definitely betray him at the first moment.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni would not expect the pirates to keep their promises, and there was only coercion and exploitation between him and the pirates, and there was no trust or distrust.
After a moment of thought, Tsugokuni Yoshiichi's breath became a little deeper. Howl's sixth sense was very sharp, and at this moment, he had smelled the breath of death.
But this feeling was fleeting.
"In that case, let's follow the normal process and enter Biscuit Island to rest."
"There are some things I must warn you about in advance. Don't think that the Big Mom Pirates can protect you from me."
"I entered Wan Guo secretly simply because I didn't want to come into direct conflict with Charlotte Lingling, but I'm not afraid of a conflict with her."
"Do you get me?"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi leaned over and whispered in Howl's ear. Hearing this, Howl nodded repeatedly. Only now did Tsugikoku Yoshiichi let go of Howl's shoulders and walked to the nearby railing, holding onto it with both hands and looking out to sea.
Only when he saw Tsugikoku Yoshiichi leaving his side did Haoer let out a long breath.
Although there was no terrifying aura emanating from Tsugarukuni Yoshiichi, when standing next to Tsugarukuni Yoshiichi, Howl still felt as if a huge burden was pressing on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
This is actually a psychological effect on Haoer. The name of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi has too much prestige in his mind, so it is inevitable that he would have such emotions.
BIG MOM's territory is very large. After entering the waters of the World, the pirate ship still sailed for several hours. After passing through a number of islands such as Flavor Island and Soft Island, it slowly entered the port of Biscuit Island.
When they arrived, many pirate ships of various shapes and sizes were already docked at the port. The sails of the pirate ships were all furled, but some of the pirate ships still had pirate logos on their hulls.
Jigoku Yuanyi took a quick look and found that there were more than 20 to 30 pirate ships docked in the port of Biscuit Island alone. Moreover, looking at the appearance and decoration of these pirate ships, they did not have much similarity at all. It seemed that they all belonged to different pirate groups.
The logos painted on some of the pirate ships looked familiar to Yoshiichi Tsugikuni. The bounties on the captains of those pirate groups were basically over 100 million.
Because only a bounty of over 100 million can leave even a small impression in Tsugakuni Yoriichi's mind. And for a pirate to be remembered by Tsugakuni Yoriichi, the bounty must be over 500 million.
The port of Biscuit Island is quite spacious. Even with so many pirate ships docked there, a channel can still be reserved specifically for the transportation of supplies.
As the name of Biscuit Island suggests, the people on the island are best at making biscuits. In preparation for tomorrow's tea party, the dock is bustling with people, and exquisite food carts are constantly being pushed onto the transport yard.
It looks like it's going to be shipped to Cake Island.
The Rainbow Pirates' ship was unable to dock at the shore and could only dock in the sea a hundred meters away from the pier. After dropping anchor, Howl and others had no intention of taking the small boat to the island. Instead, they called out the pirates in the cabin, and a group of people gathered on the deck.
This time, before Tsugakuin Yoshiichi could ask, Howl hurried to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's side and took the initiative to explain:
"In the world, only the boats of MAMA children and officers are exempt from inspection."
"Everyone attending the tea party will need to confirm their identity before landing on the island tomorrow."
Hearing Haoer's words, Jiguo Yuanyi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This was the first time he knew that a simple meal was being scrutinized so strictly?!
According to Howl, wouldn't it be impossible for him to sneak into Cake Island and privately contact the leaders of the New World like Morgause?!
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's gaze fell on Howl. Under Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's gaze, Howl also felt an inexplicable pressure and his heart trembled slightly.
"Don't get me wrong, the inspection won't confirm everyone's identity one by one. The most important thing is to confirm the captain."
"MAMA doesn't think her pirate group will betray her."
"Because all the pirates who betrayed MAMA were killed!!!"
At this point, Hao Er couldn't help but sweat on his face, as if he had thought of something terrible. Seeing Hao Er's expression, Ji Guoyuanyi gently patted Hao Er's shoulder and said:
"As long as I don't reveal it, who will know that you betrayed Big Mom?"
"Of course, if I reveal it, everyone will know that you betrayed Big Mom."
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me peacefully, nothing will happen!"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi patted Howl's shoulder gently and said with a smile.
Now, Howl is like a mouse in a bellows. In his hands, he actually has no right to choose at all.
"Don't worry!"
Howl promised solemnly.
Not long after the Rainbow Pirates dropped anchor, a small boat approached.
Soon, several figures jumped onto the deck from the small boat on the sea.
There were five people in total, led by a young man with purple hair, shirtless except for a shoulder guard on his right shoulder. He looked rather thin, but his exposed upper body was brimming with muscle.
It gives people a sense of déjà vu of "Pork Rib Superman".
Behind the purple-haired young man were four short "soldiers" wearing silver armor and holding spears. Those little soldiers were probably only as tall as Tsugikuni Yoriichi's calves, and they looked like dwarves.
The Ten Thousand Nations include most of the world's races, so Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was not surprised to see the dwarves in such a place.
“ohhh~~~”
"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!"
"It's actually Lord Cracker himself who's conducting the inspection?!"
“It’s truly my honor!!!”
The moment Howl saw the purple-haired young man flying onto the deck, he let out a low cry and then quickly rushed towards Cracker with his subordinates.
As Howl spoke, he quickly walked to Cracker's side, smoothed his patterned suit with both hands, and bowed slightly respectfully to Cracker.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni wore sunglasses and mingled among the pirates of the Rainbow Pirates. Through the gaps between the people, he glanced at the purple-haired young man called Cracker.
Charlotte Cracker, the tenth son of the Charlotte family, who calls herself the Biscuit Knight, is the actual controller of Biscuit Island and one of the three dessert generals of the future BIG MOM Pirates. He is also the user of the Biscuit Fruit and has a bounty of 660 million Baileys.
When he saw Cracker's figure, Ji Guoyuan's eyes under his sunglasses couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt.
It has been a long time since then, and Tsugikuni Yoshiichi has forgotten some unimportant people and things. He doesn't have much impression of this Cracker, but he has heard of the Cookie Minister Cracker with a bounty of 660 million.
He had also seen the other party's wanted poster, but the strange thing was that on the wanted poster, Cracker looked like a strong man wearing armor and with a long beard, completely different from the purple-haired young man in front of him.
Jiguo Yuanyi didn't think that Howl had recognized the wrong person, because Cracker didn't show any surprise when he heard Howl calling his name.
It's not surprising that there are errors in the portraits on the Navy's wanted posters, right? Sanji, Franky?
After getting on board, Cracker had no intention of being polite with Howl. With his identity and status, did he need to be polite with the captain of a "small" pirate group whose bounty was less than 100 million?
Cracker glanced at the pirates gathered on the deck, putting on a businesslike attitude. After glancing at Howl's face beside him a few times, he didn't care and asked:
"How many people are here?"
"Are you ready for MAMA's gift?"
Howl wasn't surprised by Cracker's attitude. He pointed towards the cabin and replied with a smile:
"337 people are here, all on deck."
"Of course I've prepared a gift for MAMA and have already placed it in the cabin. I will definitely not let MAMA down."
Howl laughed, his face full of ingratiating expression, but he was secretly nervous in his heart. He followed Cracker's gaze and looked at the crowd.
"Um."
"Let's go check the cabin."
Cracker exhaled through his nose, hummed softly, and waved to the dwarf soldiers behind him.
Just as Howl was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed that Cracker's gaze stopped. Following Cracker's gaze, Howl's heart sank the moment he saw the figure.
"Captain Howl, that guy with the sunglasses, is he the new guy?"
“I’ve never seen that before!”
Cracker looked at Yuichiro Tsugikoku and suddenly asked.
Why did Cracker notice Tsugakuni Yoriichi in the crowd? Was it because Tsugakuni Yoriichi was wearing sunglasses? In the pirate world, there are so many pirates in strange costumes. How could he possibly take a second look at something like this?
It's breath.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's peaceful aura is just like that of an ordinary person.
There is no aura of a pirate on Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
How could such a person appear among the pirates in the New World without attracting Cracker's attention?!
