The black knife pierced through the chest, and the bloody blade pierced out from Blackbeard's vest. Golden flames attached to the blade, and the moment the long knife pierced through Blackbeard's chest, it began to burn Blackbeard's internal organs.
Blackbeard, who was trying hard to stay conscious, only felt a heaviness in his head. The strong dizziness made him at a loss, and his body involuntarily collapsed.
For some unknown reason, Blackbeard was unable to concentrate on mobilizing the power of the Instant Instant Fruit at this moment. The severe pain from his chest made Blackbeard's brain go blank, and the feeling of suffocation also made his mind dizzy. Blackbeard could feel that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
"how so?"
Blackbeard lowered his head, his mouth slightly open, blood already filling his throat. A sound of disbelief rang out from his mouth. He simply couldn't imagine that he, who had just obtained the double fruit, would die at the hands of Tsugakuni Yoriichi before he had the chance to show his strength.
He couldn't accept the reality before him.
Although Blackbeard's body structure is different from that of ordinary people, and he even has two more hearts than ordinary people, when the two normal-sized hearts in his body were pierced by Ji Guoyuan, the small heart in his chest cavity was simply unable to maintain his body functions.
This level of serious injury is enough to make Blackbeard completely lose his combat effectiveness.
The fact that Blackbeard has not died until this moment is already the result of his extraordinary talent.
"This is reality, Blackbeard."
"In fact, the moment you choose to go to sea, you are destined to have such a fate."
“Everyone who travels on the sea has his head on his belt.”
"Whether it's you or me, this day will come for all of us."
At this time, Blackbeard no longer had the ambition he once had in his eyes, and his body was becoming weaker and weaker. Blackbeard knew at this moment that it was impossible for him to escape from Tsugikuni Yoriichi's hands.
But it is precisely because Blackbeard knows clearly his own ending that he feels fear.
In fact, people like him will also feel deeply afraid when death comes.
In other words, the more a person is like Blackbeard, the more he fears death.
"destiny?!"
"It's really ironic to hear such words coming from a guy like you!"
"Does someone like you believe in fate?!"
Blackbeard showed signs of a last-ditch recovery. At this moment, his brain suddenly became clear, the brain fog in his mind dissipated, and his speech became much smoother.
Blackbeard still couldn't accept the reality, but he didn't struggle desperately either.
Blackbeard himself was very clear that in just these few seconds, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's golden flame had burned and melted part of his internal organs.
It is impossible for him to survive now.
Ji Guoyuan placed his hands on Blackbeard's shoulders and slowly pulled out the long knife that had stabbed into his body:
"I Believe"
"I believe that my appearance is to give you people the punishment you deserve."
Jiguo Yuanyi looked indifferent, his eyes swept over Blackbeard's body, taking in the other's physical condition, and the surging domineering aura also subsided.
“Hehahahahaha!”
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, aren't you and I the same kind of people?"
"And your ending will be the same as mine. Neither of us is the one who can change the world."
"Now I have already recognized this reality, but when will you be able to recognize this reality?!"
Golden flames burned in Blackbeard's chest. After saying these words, Blackbeard's eyes completely lost focus. His bright gaze became dim, and his burly body leaned forward and fell directly in front of Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
“Plop!!!”
Blackbeard was completely silent. As Jiguo Yuanyi looked at the Blackbeard lying in front of him, his cold eyes finally showed some fluctuation.
"I am a different Blackbeard than you."
After pondering for a long time, Ji Guoyuan gently took the long sword in his hand and put it into the scabbard.
After muttering to himself, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's gaze no longer lingered on Blackbeard. His figure flashed and he left the battlefield.
The war between the New Navy and the pirates on Beehive Island has entered a white-hot stage. The pirates' resistance is extremely strong. Kuzan finally orders the entire army to land on the island and carry out a final stranglehold on these pirates.
Without the top experts in charge, Honeycomb Island has no hope of winning this war.
The reason why the war was so intense was simply because the senior leaders of the new navy planned to use the Beehive Island to give their subordinates a trial of blood and fire.
Mihawk, Kuzan and other combat forces did not immediately enter the battlefield. Instead, they selectively cleared out some cadres of the Beehive Island and left more pirates to their subordinates to deal with.
These officers are more responsible for protecting the young sailors and resolving any situations their subordinates encounter with force majeure.
Under the strong pressure of the new navy, the war lasted only half a day before the pirates showed signs of defeat.
Without their leader, the pirates were like a pile of loose sand. After escaping from the front battlefield, they tried every means to use the familiar terrain of Beehive Island to continue fighting with the new navy.
The pirates themselves know that it is impossible to defeat the New Navy. They only hope to hold out against the New Navy for a little longer. If they hold out for a long time, maybe hope and a turning point will appear.
But such an idea is ultimately just wishful thinking.
The pirates who fought on their own were defeated one by one by the navy's concentrated forces, and their resistance was quickly broken.
In the evening, Kuzan ordered the troops to gather. Within a day, the new navy had established a simple temporary base on the ruins of Rocky Harbor.
During the day, countless pirates were killed and captured by the New Navy. The temporary prison was already overcrowded. Fortunately, Aramaki was the user of the Mori Mori Fruit, otherwise the New Navy's ship would not have been large enough to hold so many pirates.
Kuzan did not order the killing of all captured pirates.
He is a gentle person by nature. If he faces pirates who are resisting stubbornly, he will naturally show no mercy; but when facing captives, Kuzan will not take their lives directly without trial.
There are differences between pirates. Even if they are on the same island, the sins they carry are different.
The new navy wants to ensure the purity of the team and prevent the soldiers from going astray, so the trial process is absolutely indispensable.
Otherwise, many extreme people like Akainu will emerge in the new navy.
People with extreme emotions don't simply hate pirates and want to kill them all. If left unchecked, these extreme people will become people who regard life as nothing.
In a way, Sakaski is actually a good example.
At this point, he no longer just hates pirates. Even when facing ordinary people who get in the way, he will never show mercy.
Another example is Zephyr in the original time and space. After his values completely collapsed, Zephyr hated more than just pirates. He hated the entire world and planned to end the so-called Great Pirate Era by destroying the world.
It was precisely for this reason that the new navy did not kill all the pirate prisoners after capturing them.
Of course, it is impossible to expect the new navy to provide those pirates with good food and drink.
The fat and strong pirates would not starve to death even if they skipped one or two meals. In order to prevent accidents, the new navy never planned to feed the pirates enough.
At night.
The lights in Rocky Harbor were still on, and the two warships turned on their fog lights, illuminating the entire new navy camp.
In the camp, the sailors had dinner and took a short rest before becoming busy again.
Kuzan organized people to interrogate the captured pirates overnight. However, the purpose at this time was not to confirm the crimes of these pirates, but to try to deepen the understanding of Beehive Island through interrogation.
The Pirate Island has stood in this world for so many years, and there are countless dark rooms and mechanisms.
Moreover, the New Navy did not have enough time to clear the entire island in one day. There were still pirates at large hiding in the dark on this island who had not been found by the New Navy.
Kuzan doesn't think that winning this war means the matter is over.
Because Beehive Island was once cleared by the New Navy, but not long after, it resurfaced again.
In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the new navy's search this time will be more thorough than before.
However, this matter has little to do with Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Kuzan is the leader of this operation, and he is naturally responsible for coordinating all matters. Ji Guoyuan is just a "thug", and after eliminating the potential threats, he is free.
Yoriichi and Mihawk sat on the beach, looking at the sea in the distance, discussing the next actions of the New Navy.
"If we want to completely wipe out the pirates on Beehive Island, I'm afraid it will take more than a day or two."
"If we take action, it will be faster."
"But if we're going to train all of our subordinates, a conservative estimate is that it will take half a month."
"What do we do next?"
"Wait?"
Mihawk leaned on a reef, a long sword at his side, looked up at the night sky, and asked Tsugumi Yoshiichi beside him.
Since Tsugumi Yoshiichi's return, the new navy has regained its backbone, and the burden on Mihawk has been lifted.
Before Yoshikazu Tsugakuni returned, Mihawk was actually under heavy pressure.
His position in the new navy is not just that of an officer, but also the "ultimate weapon" to deter hostile forces at sea.
During that time, no matter what kind of battle it was, Mihawk absolutely could not fail.
If they fail, the enemies will realize the weakness of the new navy and will rush in to share this huge new navy.
Just like the Whitebeard Pirates in the past, as soon as Whitebeard died, the territory under his command was snatched away by various forces on the sea.
If Mihawk and Issho hadn't stepped up, the ending of the New Navy would have been the same as that of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Now that Yuan Yiyi is back, Mihawk naturally doesn't have to bear such a huge pressure.
When the sky falls, there is always someone tall to hold it up, and Yuichiro Tsugikoku is that tall person.
Just like today, Mihawk made some small mistakes in the battle with Blackbeard, but this still did not affect the final outcome of the battle.
But for a swordsman like Mihawk, the pressure he carries is actually his driving force to move forward.
Now that the pressure is gone, Mihawk is planning to find the motivation to strive again.
"wait?!"
"I'm afraid the time the World Government will give us won't be as ample as we thought."
"I have always been concerned about Im's abilities, and during the time I was away from the New Navy, I was looking for a way to kill her."
"Vegapunk actually has a solution, but we haven't been able to reconnect with them yet."
"We can't put all our hopes on Vegapunk."
"During this cleanup of Beehive Island, I saw the possibility of the Dark-Dark Fruit."
"The ability to negate devil fruits might have some effect on Im."
"Now that Teach is dead, it won't be long before the Dark-Dark Fruit reappears somewhere in this world."
"I plan to organize some people to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Dark-Dark Fruit."
"Of course, the unification of the new world will not stop. What happened on Beehive Island is just the beginning."
"Let Kuzan and the others handle the final things here. Tomorrow morning, let Xiong take us back to Wan Guo."
"After resting for a while, I plan to go meet Long."
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi spoke about his next plan. The integration of the new world is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, and the whole process is expected to last for several years.
Yunyi plans to reach a consensus with the revolutionary army led by Long first, and find a way to drive the nail into the world.
Replacing the World Government is not an easy task. Even if the Celestial Dragons are completely eliminated, it will not be easy to unite people from different countries and nationalities and unify their values.
Different countries have their own interests and national conditions.
The desire to completely eliminate war remains an elusive ideal.
"Negotiate with Long's revolutionary army?"
"I'm afraid it won't go as smoothly as you think."
"The Revolutionary Army and we have different attitudes towards the World Government. In my opinion, Dragon might be a potential enemy."
Mihawk shook his head slightly, not thinking that Yoriichi Tsugakuni could reach any consensus with Long.
The new navy intends to destroy and then rebuild, using a more authoritarian organization to unify the countries of the world and establish the so-called "United Kingdom."
However, Long's opposition only concerns the Celestial Dragons. He is more in favor of the current structure of the world government.
Each kingdom is independent and autonomous, and the role of the world government is to eliminate disputes between countries to a certain extent.
From this perspective, what Long has to do is relatively simple. No matter how big a fuss he makes, he will probably be able to get the support of some kingdoms.
As for Tsugakuni Yoriichi's United Kingdom plan.
I'm afraid it will be opposed by all countries in the world.
What king would be willing to be controlled by others? If a king cannot rule his own country, then what is the point of being a king?
"have no idea"
"If we and the Revolutionary Army really end up on opposite sides in the future, there's nothing we can do about it."
"When that day comes, we, the new navy, will be the villain intent on world domination!"
