Chapter 194: The Secret After the Pirate King's Capture, the Strongest Man on the Island! (Two in One)
Rubber fruit.
The Devil Fruit that Pirate King Luffy obtained from Red-Haired Shanks. On the surface, this is a parahuman-type fruit. Anyone who eats the Rubber Fruit will have their body transformed into rubber, gaining strange abilities.
Relying on the power of the rubber fruit, Luffy grew from an unknown little pirate in the East China Sea to the fifth emperor of the ocean.
Later, during the assassination of the Four Emperors Kaido, he received a beating from Teacher Kai and successfully completed the awakening of the fruit.
It was not until then that everyone realized that the Rubber Fruit was not actually a Rubber Fruit. The true form of this devil fruit was the Nika Fruit known as the Sun God.
The power of the awakened Nika Fruit can turn a person into the male protagonist of a comedy comic, giving him the ability to fight as he pleases. Simply put, the power of this fruit can be summarized in two words - invincible.
When Yoriichi Tsugikuni heard the name of the Rubber Fruit from Roger, he understood a lot of things in an instant.
The fact that Roger knew the secrets that the world government had buried for hundreds of years was probably related to his visit to Raftel.
In the future, Red-Haired Shanks would think of stealing an insignificant rubber fruit from CP9. Perhaps the real reason is that Shanks also knows this secret.
Nika fruit.
In this fatalistic world, eating this fruit will, to some extent, qualify you to be a son of change.
Not the son of change, just the qualification of the son of change!
Because in the past few hundred years, there have been people who have eaten the Nika Fruit, but without exception, none of them have been able to awaken this fruit successfully.
"The rubber fruit?"
"I have no interest in anything like that."
"You may not believe this, but I have the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Smoke Fruit. If I wanted to become a esper, I could have become one long ago."
"Devil Fruits are not only of no help to me, but will also give me a fatal weakness."
Ji Guoyuan sneered at the rubber fruit that Roger mentioned and didn't care about this "secret treasure of the sea" at all.
When Roger saw Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attitude, he thought that Yoriichi didn't know the true nature of the Rubber Fruit, so he expressed his understanding of Yoriichi's attitude.
However, Roger didn't say it in detail, but only hinted at it: "Haha, believe me, young man."
"The rubber fruit will definitely not let you down!"
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't eat it, but I dare say that without the help of that devil fruit, you will have no way to protect the justice in your heart!"
When Roger said this, his tone was quite firm. He was obviously optimistic about Yuichiro Tsugakuin's talent, but he still said these words to Yuichiro Tsugakuin.
Hearing this.
Yuichiro Tsuchikuni turned his head and looked at Roger on the stone bed. At this time, Roger also turned his head and looked at Yuichiro Tsuchikuni who was sitting at the window.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Yunyi suddenly stood up, turned and walked towards the door.
Seeing that Yunyi was about to leave, Roger couldn't help but smile and shouted to Jigoku Yunyi:
"Are you leaving now?"
"Aren't you curious why I dare to make such a statement?"
"I dare to assert that you, the youngest vice admiral in the history of the navy, will not be able to uphold the justice in your heart in the future!"
Roger's words made Yuichiro Tsugikoku stop in his tracks.
It can be heard that Roger really knows a lot of things, and he firmly believes in what he has found out.
Tilting his head slightly, Ji Guoyuan turned his head to look at Roger and said:
"There's nothing to be curious about."
"In this world, no one can see the future that will be several years, dozens of years, or even decades away."
"I believe in fate, but the fate I believe in is not the one that some god has written for people from the beginning!"
"What I believe in is the destiny shaped by human hands!"
After Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, he opened the door, walked into the rain, and slowly disappeared from Roger's sight.
Looking at Jiguo Yuanyi's slowly disappearing back, Roger couldn't help but cough lightly, sitting up slightly, and sighed softly:
"How do you know that the fate shaped by humans is not the fate set for you by the Creator God himself?!"
The battle of fate never ends in a conclusion.
What people can do is to do well in the present.
After leaving Luo Jie, Yuichiro Tsugumi immediately went to his office.
The Navy branch in Dressrosa has already been built, with the exception of some dormitories. Since the branch hasn't officially begun expanding, the existing dormitories are more than enough for the Marines to rest.
For the rest of the project, the construction schedule began to slow down significantly.
Ji Guoyuanyi's office is located on the fifth floor and covers an area of nearly 30 square meters, which is not small.
To the east, there is a nearly two-meter-long table. There is nothing on the table, even very few documents. There is only a Den Den Mushi, which is relatively eye-catching.
On the wall behind the desk hung the inscription Zefa gave him - "Clear Justice".
There is a window facing south, from which you can see the harbor. Yunyi's office is located in this direction so that he can check the situation of the harbor in time.
On the west side, there is a long sword rack with four sword grids. On it are two famous swords, Ame-no-Habakiri and Enma, as well as a bamboo sword that looks out of place among the famous swords.
In the middle, there was an empty knife rack with no weapons placed on it.
Yuichiro's office is simply decorated and the furniture used has no texture at all. The whole office exudes a sense of simplicity.
After returning to the office, Jiguo Yuanyi walked to the window and looked out at the sea.
At that time, the sea was covered by a curtain of rain, creating a hazy and misty scene.
But just by looking at such a scene, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's heart could quickly calm down.
“Dongdong…”
After a while, there was a knock on the office door.
Without even turning back, Ji Guoyuan shouted towards the door, "Come in!"
Then Cyrus pushed the door open and saw Tsunekoku Yoriichi standing by the window. He saluted and reported:
"Lieutenant General, news just came from headquarters."
"Grand Marshal Sora has dispatched Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp to Dressrosa to extradite Pirate King Roger."
"We expect to arrive in Dressrosa in a month."
"Headquarters requires us not to leave Dressrosa easily until Pirate King Roger is extradited. We must keep an eye on Roger."
"At the same time, headquarters also reminds us to be prepared for the enemy. Headquarters has received news that pirates are planning to attack our Dawn branch."
Cyrus spoke a lot of important news. Jigoku Yoriichi narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully to Cyrus's report. After digesting the information, Yoriichi nodded to show that he understood, and then asked Cyrus:
"How are the things I arranged going? Is the ship ready for the voyage?"
The ship that Ji Guoyuan mentioned was for the purpose of going to the South China Sea to pick up Roger's wife and children. His warship was too conspicuous, so it was better to be more covert when doing such things.
Although Yunyi is not afraid of trouble, it is better to have less trouble if possible.
After Roger was publicly executed by the Navy, the World Government was afraid that Roger, the Pirate King who had been to Raftel, had revealed something to others before his death. Therefore, after Roger's death, the World Government would investigate Roger's whereabouts.
And the fact that Roger has a wife and children will also be exposed.
By then, Ace's hometown will be hit by a massacre.
Since Tsugikuni Yoshiichi has already planned to intervene in this matter, he will find a way to completely erase Roger's whereabouts on Patrilla Island.
The method is also very simple, all we need to do is to move all the people on that island who know about Roger's existence to Dressrosa! The World Government's tentacles may be able to extend to the South China Sea, but it is not easy to extend to Dressrosa.
What's more, not everyone can act wildly in Dressrosa.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
"Dressrosa has a lot of ships passing through recently, and the flow of people is quite complicated."
"I have secretly acquired a medium-sized merchant ship. It has been well maintained and is ready to set sail at any time."
Cyrus nodded. He hadn't concealed from him the fact that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was going to the South China Sea to pick up Roger's wife and children. Cyrus also agreed with this. If Pirate King Roger himself was unforgivable, then Roger's family, who had never enjoyed the benefits of the title of Pirate King, were innocent.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's behavior was in line with Cyrus's expectations of "justice".
"Okay, expand the cabin and bring everyone who knows about Roger's wife to the island."
"There's no need to force them. Just give them enough money to settle down. Use money to motivate them."
"One month later, after the headquarters has completed the handover with us, you, Yixiao, and Mihawk will go to the South China Sea to pick up the people."
Upon hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi nodded. Cyrus was still doing things very cautiously. When the time came, he would send the top combat forces of the two branches, Yixiao and Mihawk, so there would be no accidents in this matter.
As for Yoriichi Tsugakuni himself, he needs to stay in Dressrosa.
After having a base, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi finally understood why the admirals of the Marine Headquarters would not take action easily.
Because I was afraid that someone would steal my house.
Now, because of the successful capture of Roger, the Dawn branch has become "notorious" in the pirate circle of the New World.
There were countless eyes watching this place eagerly, making it so difficult for people like Ji Guoyuan to leave the island easily. At least, not all the top fighters would leave the island at the same time.
The fact that Yixiao, Mihawk and Cyrus were sent out at once was enough to prove how much importance Tsujikuni Yuanyi attached to this matter.
In a place like the South China Sea, there is no need for Mihawk and Yixiao to go out at the same time. In fact, just sending out Cyrus is enough.
But it’s better to be safe.
Time flies, and a month passes in a flash.
Early September.
The warship No. 0 that Sengoku and Garp were on finally arrived in Dressrosa safely. Under the guidance of the branch navy, the naval fleet from the headquarters docked in the naval port.
At the dock, Cyrus was leading more than ten marines to greet Zhan Guo and others.
As the wooden ladder was lowered from the warship, Sengoku and Garp led a group of naval officers to the shore.
"It didn't look very real when we were at sea just now, but now that we're on land, I can't believe this huge complex of buildings is actually the base of your naval branch."
"Hey, Cyrus, where did Yunyi get so much money to build such a huge branch?"
"Your branch only has about a hundred people in total. Do you need such a large branch?"
"Slaving the people is a serious crime!"
Coming to the shore, Zhan Guo looked at the huge naval building complex not far away, raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help asking.
This branch of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi is undoubtedly one of the largest naval complexes outside of the main headquarters. The construction of a branch of this magnitude requires a lot of manpower!
"General, you misunderstood."
"The lieutenant general made preparations in advance to facilitate future military expansion."
"As you know, the pirates in the New World are more powerful."
"Of course, Lieutenant General Jiguo has absolutely not enslaved the people. The money to build the branch was actually generously supported by King Riku!"
In response to Zhan Guo's question, Cyrus laughed and gave a half-truthful explanation. It was indeed King Riku who paid the money, but it was in the form of bounties, and the heads of the pirates were obtained by their navy.
"oh?"
"Yeah?"
"King Riku, you really spent a lot of money! Hehehe."
Zhan Guo glanced at Cyrus and sneered twice. He suddenly realized that Cyrus, the boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had learned to lie. He could lie without blushing or beating his heart.
However, Zhan Guo did not expose Cyrus. After all, he probably knew what was going on here.
"Where's Tsugikoku Yoriichi?"
"Where is he? Why didn't he come?"
Zhan Guo looked around the port and saw that he did not see the figure of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, so he asked Cyrus.
"Lieutenant General, he is guarding the Pirate King Roger."
Cyrus laughed, then extended his hand in the direction of the branch and continued, "General Sengoku, Lieutenant General Garp, and everyone else, I'll take you there."
Cyrus did not chat much with Zhan Guo and others. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly led the way for Zhan Guo and others.
Now Cyrus just wants to send Roger away quickly and then complete the task sent by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
Cyrus was the kind of person who always kept things in his heart after promising others, and felt uncomfortable.
When Cyrus brought Sengoku and Garp to the "prison" where Roger was, they were all shocked by Roger's living environment.
I thought Roger would be imprisoned in a prison with heavy guards by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
Unexpectedly, Roger's "prison" was actually just an ordinary dormitory. At best, the environment of this dormitory was a little simple, and the beds were made of stone.
But let alone the guards, Roger, the prisoner, was not even handcuffed.
When Sengoku and Garp arrived, Tsugakuni Yoriichi was sitting on a stool in the room, chatting with Roger.
Looking at the way the two of them interact, how could they look like a navy and a pirate? It was more like ordinary friends chatting with each other.
"What on earth is going on?"
Seeing this scene, how could Sengoku and Garp not know that there was something fishy going on? If Pirate King Roger was so easy to talk to, wouldn't Garp's pursuit for so many years be a joke?
"Hey, has the person who came to pick me up arrived?"
"Long time no see! Sengoku, Garp."
Roger was lying on the bed when he heard the door being pushed open. He raised his head slightly and looked towards the door, and saw Sengoku and Garp being led into the room by Cyrus.
The rest of the navy were guarding outside the door, and only the two leaders were allowed to enter.
Seeing Roger smiling and greeting him, Garp's expression froze slightly. He looked at Roger lying on the bed and Tsugikoku Yoriichi sitting on the chair with a relaxed look, and couldn't help asking:
"What is this?"
Before Garp could finish his words, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly stood up, smiled and greeted Sengoku and Garp, and then explained:
"General Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, long time no see."
"As you can see, I didn't actually capture Pirate King Roger. He surrendered himself."
"Therefore, he was not given handcuffs or anklets."
As soon as Yunyi finished speaking, Roger shook his head and said:
"No, this guy lied. He caught me."
"Look, I still have the wounds this kid gave me."
"I just didn't run away because of his pressure."
"Haha, young people nowadays are really scary!"
While Roger was speaking, he even opened his clothes to show his wound to Sengoku and Garp.
Looking at the appearances of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Roger, Sengoku and Garp couldn't help but look at each other, and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.
There may be unknown reasons behind the arrest of Pirate King Roger.
Garp opened his mouth, about to ask something. However, Sengoku glanced at Tsugikoku Yoriichi standing beside him, grabbed Garp, shook his head, and made a quick decision, shouting outside:
"Borsalino!"
"Bring people in and get the Pirate King Roger onto the ship!"
Zhan Guo had no intention of catching up with Jiguo Yuan. He just wanted to get Roger on board first.
Not long.
A young lieutenant general in a bright yellow vertical striped military uniform led his men into the room.
He glanced around at everyone in the room, and when he saw Roger without any restraints on his body, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he quickly regained his composure. While muttering, "Pirate King! So scary!", he put seastone shackles on Roger.
"Goodbye, little devil!"
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Before being taken away by Borsalino, Roger said goodbye to Jigokuen.
Sengoku and Garp came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After bringing Roger on board, Garp and Yoriichi exchanged a brief greeting and then returned to the warship.
Under the gaze of Tsugumi Kuniichi and others, the headquarters fleet left the port.
"Borsalino, once you're out of sight of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the others, return to Dressrosa."
"Look at what Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the others are planning to do!"
"I always feel that the boy is hiding something from me!"
On the deck of warship No. 0, Zhan Guo stopped Vice Admiral Borsalino who was planning to return to the warehouse to rest, gave him instructions in person, and privately instructed him to investigate the Dwan branch.
Hearing this, Borsalino was slightly stunned, scratched his head, and then nodded.
Dressrosa Naval Base.
After seeing off everyone at the Marine Headquarters, Tsugikuni Yoriichi immediately signaled Cyrus to leave.
After gazing at the sea for a long time and watching the warship completely disappear from his sight, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was about to leave when suddenly his observation Haki sensed a powerful aura rapidly entering Dressrosa.
“.”
"As expected of a wise general like the Warring States."
"Have you noticed anything yet?"
Ji Guoyuan paused slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he didn't care about the powerful aura that suddenly came to the island.
