Chapter 86 The Brigadier General’s Adjutant!
The main reason why Tsugikuni Yoshiichi left the Boeing Islands and returned to the Naval Headquarters was actually because the Naval Headquarters planned to mobilize 80% of the Navy's combat power to encircle and suppress the Roger Pirates.
According to the intelligence received by the World Government and the Navy, Roger has collected all four red signpost texts and is now preparing to head to the final island.
The World Government, upon hearing this news, was completely uneasy. The top leaders of the World Government seemed to know that something was buried on the Final Island and did not want anyone to land on it. Therefore, they stepped up their orders to the navy to encircle Roger in order to stop the Roger Pirates' plan.
It was precisely because it was the order of the World Government that Navy Admiral Sora mobilized the elites from all four seas and summoned all officers and soldiers of the headquarters to gather in Marineford to hold a combat meeting.
Garp and Zephyr both sensed that this would be an unprecedented war, so they brought Yoriichi Tsugakuni back from the Boeing Islands. Tsugakuni Yoriichi has now grown into a powerful warrior, but of course, Zephyr's purpose in calling Yoriichi back was not to allow him to establish any merits on the battlefield.
He simply wanted Yunyi to see the battle up close, to experience firsthand the strength of the top warriors on this sea. Broadening his horizons would be beneficial for Yunyi.
The combat meeting held in the headquarters auditorium lasted for a whole morning. Of course, it was called a meeting, but in fact it was just a unilateral issuance of orders.
The battle plan had actually been drawn up by Zhan Guo and He long ago. The meeting was simply to assign the plan content to each person and to the generals who would execute the corresponding links.
In fact, this combat meeting has nothing to do with Yunyi, who has just been promoted to colonel.
At his level, he was not even qualified to carry out "a certain link" in any plan. At most, he would arrive at the battlefield and follow the orders of his "superiors". He would charge when told to and retreat when told to. He had no autonomy at all.
I attend the class just to understand the overall plan and have a rough idea of it.
After the meeting, naval officers and soldiers walked out of the auditorium one after another. Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Zefa, Garp, Kuzan and others walked towards the naval family compound.
It was already noon when the meeting ended. Several acquaintances made an appointment to have a meal together. Zefa also called Zhan Guo and He, but the two were a bit busy at the moment, so they planned to have the meal in the office.
As for Garp and Kuzan, there wasn't much to do.
More than a year has passed, and Kuzan is still a brigadier general. His brigadier general is actually not much different from the colonel Yunyi. When it comes to war, just obey orders.
The midday sun dispelled the thick fog that shrouded Marinford, and the warm sunlight fell on the ground.
After walking out of the auditorium, Zefa stretched himself, took a deep breath facing the sky, and felt refreshed. He turned his head and looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who was wearing a neat white officer uniform with a golden medal on his chest, and said with a smile:
"Yuichirō, from today on, you will officially become a captain of the Marine Headquarters."
"According to the tradition of the Navy Headquarters, once you reach the rank of Captain, you are qualified to lead a warship to sea alone."
"However, my idea is not to rush. I think after this war, you should return to the Boeing Islands and continue to cultivate and improve. When you come of age, it won't be too late to return to the navy to fulfill your duties."
"Of course, this is just my opinion, Yunyi, what do you think?"
His words immediately attracted the attention of Garp and Kuzan, and they both turned their heads to look at Yunyi. Without waiting for Yunyi to answer, Garp interrupted and said:
"Well! Zefa is right. Although I don't know how much you have grown now, you are still young after all. The environment of the Boeing Islands should still be useful to you. There is no need to rush out to sea to carry out missions. It is better to accumulate experience and practice hard in the Boeing Islands first!"
It was rare for Garp to have the same opinion as Zephyr. Although Garp always believed that only the sea could cultivate excellent navy, Garp also knew that Tsugakuni Yoriichi's situation was obviously somewhat different.
Tsugikuni Yuichi's strength expanded rapidly, and his comprehension ability was also extremely terrifying. He could learn technical skills almost at a glance, and he could quickly integrate into the battle without much practice.
And according to the information he had obtained from Long before, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had already figured out how to use Tyrant a year ago. A year has passed, and Garp also knows that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi has mastered Observation Kill. God knows what level Tsugakuni Yoshiichi can reach now when he gives his full strength.
But even so, Garp knew that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's physical fitness had not been fully developed yet. He felt that it would be better for Tsugakuni Yoshiichi to use his energy on self-cultivation. There would be time to go out to sea for training in the future.
Kuzan didn't express any opinion. He hadn't seen Yuichiro Tsugikuni for more than a year. When he saw him today, Kuzan felt a strong sense of threat from Yuichiro.
Kuzan knew that Jiguo Yuanyi's current strength was probably very powerful. If he were to ask him, why would he still need to practice? He could just go out to sea and carry out the mission.
"Teacher Zefa, now that I'm a colonel at headquarters, does that mean I can lead a warship out to sea on my own?"
"To be honest, the Boeing Islands aren't really that useful to me right now. My physical fitness has been improving quite slowly lately."
"Even with the help of Life Return, I can feel the changes in my body starting to return to normal."
"It feels like the body has been 'full'."
"I want to go out to sea and see if fighting can help me become stronger."
Yoshiichi Tsugikuni did not accept the opinions of Zefa and Garp. With the ability to see through the world, he was very clear about his own situation. His daily growth rate was now "constant" and he no longer experienced the explosive growth of the past.
If Tsugikuni Yoriichi wants to continue to strengthen his power, he needs to work on increasing his Haki. However, strengthening Conqueror's Haki is a very subjective matter. Yoriichi thinks that going out to sea to see the vast world might help him grow stronger.
Moreover, for Yuichiro, the Boeing Islands are just a small island with plenty of food. Even when going out to sea, as long as he replenishes supplies frequently, he doesn't have to worry about affecting his growth.
"Do you want to go out to sea?"
"Well, you've been stuck on the island for over a year now, so it's good to go out into the world. As long as there's enough food on the warship, it won't affect your growth."
Sure enough, after listening to what Yoriichi said, Zephyr thought about it for a while and figured it out. He did not deny Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but nodded in agreement.
When Kuzan heard that Tsugikoku Yoriichi was planning to go out to sea, he immediately said with a smile: "Hey, Yoriichi, how about you become my adjutant?!"
"Although a captain here is capable of leading a warship on his own, you still lack experience, don't you?"
"You can serve as my adjutant for a while. After you gain some experience, there won't be time for you to lead the team out to sea, right?!"
"Hehehe, I still haven't found a suitable adjutant. I originally planned to ask Cyrus to come over, but after graduating from the Naval Academy, Cyrus went to the G-3 branch in the New World."
"This position has been vacant all along!"
Hearing Kuzan's words, Zephyr and Garp nodded at the same time. If they became Kuzan's adjutant, they wouldn't have to worry about Tsugikuni Yoriichi's safety.
Although Kuzan's domineering aura is not very strong, he is the user of the natural fruit ability, and the development of the fruit has reached a certain level. His personal strength is also absolutely the best among the new generation of navy.
If he were together with Yuichiro Tsugikoku, the two of them could take care of each other.
Of course, the more important thing is that both of them are young people, and they are familiar with each other, so they will not be treated as subordinates and ordered around.
Both Garp and Zephyr thought Kuzan's suggestion was good.
"Adjutant?"
"Um"
"What you said makes sense, right?"
After a little thought, Ji Guoyuanyi agreed. Although he had joined the navy for more than a year, to be honest, his sailing experience was almost zero.
Letting him lead the team out to sea by himself would not be a problem if it were to places with "reasonable" natural environments in the four seas, but if it were to the Grand Route or the New World, his limited knowledge of navigation would be insufficient.
He can't possibly encounter some whirlpool or tsunami, so as a leader, he should just use the Moon Step to run away, right?
It would be good for him to accumulate some sailing experience. After all, he is not Luffy, who has a great navigator to guide him.
"Kuzan, I'll leave it to you to take care of it from now on. Let me make it clear, I won't be firing the boiler!"
