Chapter 230: Encounter with the Celestial Dragons! (Two in One)
In order to "welcome" the arrival of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the navy made a lot of preparations in advance.
The people of the Sabaody Archipelago don’t know what happened, but they only know that the navy has done a lot of “real things” during this period, and the security environment on the entire island has improved a lot.
The pirates roaming around the Sabaody Archipelago were captured in batches, and only a few escaped and hid among the ordinary people. When the warship Ji Guoyuan arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, they secretly came to the harbor to watch.
On the coast, in addition to the navy soldiers standing in formation and ready for battle, there were also many idle people watching the fun.
Everyone is curious about the reason behind the Navy's big move.
When everyone saw that the navy had mobilized so many troops just to welcome a warship, they were all stunned. They had thought that some great figure had arrived on the island, some world noble like a "God of Gods" or a "High-ranking Celestial Dragon", but they didn't expect that the navy would only welcome a warship.
"Where did this warship come from? It actually caused the navy to be on such high alert. This is more grand than even a general's, right?"
"Is this a world noble being escorted by the Navy Headquarters?"
On the shore, people were talking about it, and under their gaze, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi led a group of sailors slowly down from the warship. When Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's feet stepped on the land of the Sabaody Archipelago, the sailors on the shore saluted to him.
Although the navy officers did not speak, they felt a strong sense of oppression, and their eyes when they looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi were full of solemnity and fanaticism.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
This legendary vice admiral of the Naval Headquarters has rarely appeared in front of the sailors in the headquarters in recent years, but no one can ignore his existence.
I don’t know how many young sailors regard Yoriichi Tsugakuni as their lifelong goal.
"This feeling is really bad!"
As soon as he disembarked, he looked out at the endless fleet of marines and couldn't help but sigh. His original intention for this trip to the Sabaody Archipelago was to "quietly go to the islands," find someone there to coat him, and then secretly head to Fishman Island. He hadn't expected the Navy Headquarters to act like this after learning of his plan.
Putting aside the question of whether it would disturb the public, what he wants to do might be exposed to the public too early.
This is not a good thing for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who wants to secretly accumulate strength.
The bigger the show, the faster the death.
"Lieutenant General, what is our headquarters planning to do?" Cyrus followed behind Tsugikuni Yoriichi. Seeing such a scene on the coast, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, walked behind Yoriichi, and asked in a low voice with some concern.
He also felt that something was wrong. They came to this island on a secret trip and toured the New World. It was not entirely to wipe out pirates, but also to deliberately conceal the time when they arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
But now it seems that their movements are firmly under the control of the headquarters.
"Cyrus, be cheerful."
"Aren't the leaders of this headquarters very good to us? They just don't want us to see things we shouldn't see."
“This is taking care of our emotions!”
Jiguo Yuanyi said with a smile, glanced at the road in front of him which was formed by the navy's bodies, glanced at the direction of the town in the Sabaody Archipelago, deliberately did not take the road in front of him, and then turned a corner, trying to pass through the wall of navy people and head to the city.
"Lieutenant General Yuichirō Jikoku!" At this moment, a young man in a general's uniform flashed behind Yuichirō Jikoku and others, and hurriedly called out to Yuichirō Jikoku.
Slowly turning around, I saw the brigadier general calling out to Tsugikuni Yoriichi and asking with an embarrassed look on his face:
"Vice Admiral Jikuni, the Marshal and the Admiral know you're back at Marine Headquarters and are already waiting for you."
"How about you go to the headquarters first to meet with the marshal and the admiral?" The young brigadier general spoke in a soft tone, and even Tiger behind Yoriichi could hear that the other party's tone was "pleading". Seeing the look of this navy, he had a new understanding of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's prestige in the navy headquarters.
Tiger had no idea that the headquarters treated Yoshiichi Tsugakuni like this not because of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's prestige!
They were just worried that Ji Guoyuan might cause trouble under the "emperor's feet".
"Headquarters?"
"I have no intention of returning to headquarters. I will only stay in the Sabaody Archipelago for a few days. Once my ship is coated, I will naturally leave."
"The Marshal and the General are busy with their duties, so I won't bother them."
Ji Guoyuan glanced at the other person and replied indifferently.
The young Brigadier General hesitated for a moment, about to tell Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, "This is the Marshal's order," but the words faltered. He didn't know why, but Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't exude any terrifying aura, yet under his gaze, he couldn't bring himself to say anything forceful.
Just when the young brigadier general didn't know what to do, a hearty laugh came from the street not far away.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"You little brat, you've already reached the entrance of the Navy Headquarters, and you still don't come back to see me!"
"It's really sad that an old man like me has to come to pick you up, Yunyi."
A magnetic voice was heard, and everyone turned their heads to look. They happened to see a middle-aged navy man with purple hair, leading a team of young marines, slowly walking towards Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.
"Chief Instructor Zefa!" Seeing the person coming, the young brigadier general seemed to have seen a savior. After a low cry, his heart immediately relaxed.
The person who came was the chief instructor of the Navy, Zefa.
Next to Zephyr, Garp was walking with his legs spread wide, eating a donut and saying with a smile, "I told you, that Sengoku guy's method won't work."
"We two old men have to come and invite them in person!"
"Hahahahaha! I was right!"
The arrival of Zephyr and Garp immediately attracted the attention of all the people. The navy who could be personally "received" by these two people must be a very important person!
Finally, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who had faded from the public eye for many years, was recognized.
"That marine is Yoriichi Tsugikuni! The legendary marine who captured the Pirate King Roger!"
A cry of surprise rang out from the crowd, and the onlookers immediately erupted in excitement. The pirates hidden in the crowd also cast their eyes on Tsugikuni Yoriichi, wanting to see this legendary navy with their own eyes.
"Haha, it looks like I've caused an unnecessary commotion!"
"Yuichi, please don't affect the lives of ordinary people. Let's go back to the headquarters first."
Zefa said to Yuichiro Tsugikoku with a smile.
"I don't know who caused this unnecessary commotion," Jiguo Yuanyi sighed softly, then turned and said to Cyrus, "Cyrus, find a craftsman to coat the ship. After the coating is completed, we will head to Fishman Island."
"After everything is arranged, give the brothers a few days off to relax. You and Mihawk can take Tiger for a stroll around the island."
"Don't make things complicated. Of course, don't be afraid of trouble. As long as you do the right thing, I'll cover for you if something goes wrong."
As he spoke, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi looked at Zephyr and Garp. The two of them listened to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's arrangements, looked at each other and said nothing more, just smiled at Yoshiichi. After Tsugakuin Yoshiichi made the arrangements, Zephyr walked to Yoshiichi's side with a smile, put his hand on Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's shoulder, and said with emotion:
"I haven't seen you for a while, you've grown taller!"
"His shoulders have become broader and stronger. I'm afraid he can shoulder more responsibilities than an old man like me!"
"However, no matter how powerful a person is, they still need family to support them. Let's go, Yunyi. I haven't seen you for a long time. Now that you're back, come home and stay a few more days."
Zefa said, gently put his arm around Jigoku Yoriichi's shoulders and walked towards the depths of the island. Jigoku Yoriichi did not resist, Zefa was good to him, he still owed Zefa a favor, there was no need to get upset with Zefa over such a small matter.
Before coming, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had a premonition that the headquarters might not allow him to move freely in the Sabaody Archipelago, and the current situation was within his expectations.
Zephyr and Garp's warships docked in another location of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Yoriichi, Zephyr and Garp crossed the island together, boarded a warship on the other side of the Sabaody Archipelago, and then set sail towards Marinford.
After Kuniyoshi and others left, the navy on the coast began to disperse, but these navy did not retreat back to the navy headquarters. Instead, they began to closely monitor the movements of Cyrus and others.
After Yoriichi left, Cyrus gave the sailors a break, and he himself found a coating craftsman on the island to coat the warship. The Dawn warship was large, and the coating project was also quite large, requiring about ten days to complete.
After learning the news, Cyrus reported it to Yoriichi, and then went sightseeing in the Sabaody Archipelago with Mihawk and others.
The Chagos Archipelago can be said to be one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Cyrus and others, who have been sailing on the sea for such a long time, finally have the opportunity to take a vacation and want to take a good stroll and relax.
Tiger seemed to be a little afraid of the prosperity of the Sabaody Archipelago. When he was sightseeing with Cyrus and Mihawk, he wore his big cloak and did not dare to reveal his identity as a fishman easily.
Cyrus and Mihawk saw this, but didn't say much. They just took Tiger out for a drink and a stroll. Since Tiger joined the Sword of Dawn, he had developed a deep friendship with Cyrus and Mihawk.
Mihawk never considers the strength of his friends, because no matter how strong they are, it is difficult for them to be stronger than him.
Tiger has a bold personality and after accepting Cyrus and Mihawk as his companions, he will go through fire and water for them. Mihawk does not dislike Tiger's passionate personality.
The arrangements made by the Naval Headquarters are very complete, or rather, they are quite complete!
But the reason why an accident is called an accident is that when it happens, it is often unexpected.
Just as Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Garp and Zephyr boarded the warship back to headquarters, an unexpected incident came knocking on their door.
The navy is indeed able to clear out some of the darkness on the Sabaody Archipelago, but unfortunately, they can control pirates, nobles of small countries, and ordinary people, but they cannot control the Celestial Dragons!
On the wide street, Cyrus, Mihawk and others had just bought snacks on the roadside and were about to go sightseeing at the famous tourist attractions on the island when they heard a noise coming from above.
Just as they were about to go and see what happened, they saw a figure flash in front of them. The young brigadier general who had previously received Yoshikazu Tsugakuni appeared directly in front of them and blocked the way of Mihawk and others.
"Um?"
"It's you?" Cyrus recognized the sailor in front of him and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
The young navy man's face darkened slightly, and he said, "This is not the place to talk. Follow me!"
As they spoke, led by the young brigadier general, the group quickly left the stall and entered a narrow path beside the street.
Shortly after the few people left, the street became chaotic, and CP9 members dressed in black appeared on both sides of the street to clear the way.
Shortly after these CP9s appeared, a crisp sound of chains colliding came from the end of the street.
"What happened?" Cyrus stuck his head out from a dark corner and looked at the street. He happened to see a Celestial Dragon with green hair on his head, wearing a white slim suit and a transparent bubble oxygen mask on his head, appear in his sight.
Under the Celestial Dragon was a burly man covered in bruises. He was currently supporting himself on the ground with his hands, crawling slowly while carrying the green-haired Celestial Dragon on his back.
The Celestial Dragon held a long whip in his hand, and at his side, two CP9s each held an iron chain as thick as a fist, and the other end of the chain was connected to the neck of the slave who was carrying the Celestial Dragon.
The sudden noise coming from the street was the result of the Celestial Dragons' travels.
On both sides of the road, ordinary people knelt on the ground, their heads buried deep in the earth, fearing that their lack of respect would bring disaster upon them. The streets, which had been a bit noisy, became so quiet you could hear a pin drop as the Celestial Dragons passed by.
"Celestial Dragon!"
In a dark corner, Cyrus murmured as he looked at the arrogant Celestial Dragons on the street. Mihawk seemed to have no interest in what was happening on the street. He leaned against the wall, head slightly lowered, and remained silent.
Tiger, who also stuck his head out to check the situation, clenched his fists the moment he saw the Celestial Dragon.
There are also Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago
When Tiger left Fishman Island, his first stop was the Sabaody Archipelago. In that bustling auction house, he witnessed the actions of the Celestial Dragons and the "sins" of mankind.
Tiger not only has no respect for "God", but also has a deep disgust for him.
"Yes, Celestial Dragon!"
"You were so rash just now to go and see what happened. If you bump into the Celestial Dragons, you'll be in trouble!"
The young brigadier general breathed a sigh of relief and said with great relief.
Fortunately! Fortunately, Lieutenant General Jiguo Yuanyi has left!
“It’s really disgusting!”
Tiger cursed softly, and without looking any further, he turned and tried to leave through the other side of the path. Although he hated the actions of the Celestial Dragons, Tiger was not so reckless as to rush up and attack them.
He knew that the Celestial Dragons represented trouble, and he didn't want to bring trouble to the Sword of Dawn branch. Furthermore, in Tiger's subconscious, Tsugikoku Yoriichi, a member of the navy, probably wouldn't go against the supreme Celestial Dragons for his own sake.
In other words, in front of the supreme Celestial Dragons, Tiger felt that even Yoriichi Tsugakuni would have no way to resist.
"Pfft! This is really bad luck."
Cyrus couldn't help but spit. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly noticed that several CP9 members in black were suddenly looking towards the corner where they were.
"Saint Muse Garrud, we have discovered that some untouchables are spying on you."
After noticing the presence of Cyrus and the others, CP9 did not act rashly. Instead, they walked up to the green-haired Celestial Dragon and whispered.
Hearing that some untouchables were watching him, Saint Muse Garrud seemed to feel a great insult. He glared and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground around him. He didn't find anyone looking up at him, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
"Where is it?"
As he spoke, the CP9 pointed towards the street corner where Cyrus and the others were.
“We’ve been discovered!”
"Let's go, let's leave first!"
Cyrus saw the CP9's actions, frowned, and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from the street: "Go and catch him! If you don't kneel before me, you're already guilty of a capital crime!"
A loud shout rang out, and the CP9 figures behind him flashed and left the spot in an instant.
These CP9s who protect Saint Muse Garrud are actually all good players.
In the blink of an eye, Cyrus and others who were just about to leave were blocked in an alley by five CP9 members.
When both sides saw each other, they were all stunned and their faces became a little strange.
"navy?"
"CP9? Such quick reactions!"
