Chapter 220: Use your domineering power to gain wings! (Two in one)
Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who was leaving Migo Town and returning home, probably never expected that as soon as he left Migo Town, the people from the Whitebeard Pirates would come to the island and mark Migo Town as their territory.
This gives people the feeling that Yoriichi Tsugakuni has become the Whitebeard Pirates' thug, protecting the Whitebeard Pirates' future "territory".
After Marco returned to the ship, Whitebeard, who was sitting at the base of the mast, held his chin in his hand and asked Marco:
"Marco, is everything done?"
When Marco came to Migo Town this time, Whitebeard also followed him. Firstly, Whitebeard was worried about Marco, and secondly, Whitebeard himself was also very free.
His sons had to go out to work, and there was no one to accompany him. It would be really boring for this "widowed old man" to be left alone.
"ah!"
“It’s all done!”
Marco seemed very happy. As a young man, he needed to save face. When he arrived on the island and saw the people hiding in their homes in fear, Marco felt very proud.
"Now that we're done, let's go."
"We've been on that island for so long, it's time to go out and have some fun."
"Marco, how about we go to Wano Country? It's been a long time since I saw that guy Oden. Let's go visit him."
When Whitebeard mentioned Kozuki Oden, his face was full of smiles. Hearing Whitebeard's proposal, Marco also smiled and nodded, and responded:
"Okay! It's up to you to decide, Dad."
"I kind of miss Oda-san's sukiyaki."
Whitebeard's proposal not only won the support of Marco, but the crew on the deck also cheered when they heard that they were going to Wano Country. For a moment, the Moby Dick was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
January 1, 1502 in the Haiyuan calendar.
Dressrosa was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns today, officially welcoming the new year. Dressrosa had been experiencing rapid development throughout the past year, and its residents had been busy all year long. Finally, on this day, they could relax and unwind.
The construction work of the Sword of Dawn Naval Branch was completely completed before the end of last year. All the workers were able to have a good New Year with the fruits of their hard work.
Cyrus was patrolling the streets of the port military town with a naval team. As he walked through the streets, passersby smiled and greeted Cyrus. Facing these enthusiastic people, Cyrus also smiled and nodded in return.
After walking just a few hundred meters, Cyrus's face became a little stiff.
Behind Cyrus, the new recruits who had just joined the navy this year followed closely behind him, looking around excitedly. Seeing the people around him warmly greeting Cyrus, the young navy couldn't help but sigh:
"Major General Cyrus, you are truly welcome!"
"I want to be a navy like you in the future!"
As he spoke, the young sailor's eyes revealed a deep longing.
After returning to Migo Town, Tsugakuni Yoriichi used this as an excuse to promote Cyrus, Mihawk, and others. The Navy Headquarters gave Tsugakuni Yoriichi's subordinates a share of the profits for their efforts in assisting the ICE branch and destroying the Beasts Pirates.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni himself was already a vice admiral of the Naval Headquarters, and a few years ago, he also refused the invitation to be promoted to admiral. This achievement did not "add any bonus" to Yoshikazu Tsugakuni at all.
However, the destruction of the long-famous Beasts Pirates by the Marine Headquarters also had to be rewarded, so the rewards for these merits were given to Yoriichi's subordinates.
With the destruction of the ICE branch, the Navy Headquarters realized that the Sword of Dawn Navy Branch located in the middle of the New World was becoming increasingly important. While commending Yoriichi's subordinates, the Navy Headquarters also allocated one hundred new recruits, a main battleship and a dozen patrol boats to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The new recruits are all outstanding marines transferred from the Naval Academy.
Tsugakuni Yoriichi knew that among these new recruits, there must be "spies" of Marshal Kong Kong or Admiral Sengoku, and this was actually a "countermeasure" of the Marine Headquarters against Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
After all, it was Tsugikuni Yoriichi who first transferred Yixiao back to the Naval Headquarters. After seeing Yixiao, the senior officials of the headquarters immediately understood Tsugikuni Yoriichi's intention and tried to give Yoriichi some advice, which was considered a return of favor.
However, Yunyi didn't feel anything about this.
The headquarters had very little control over him. These "spies" could only report the branch's news back to the headquarters. In Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's view, there was nothing in his naval branch that could not be known to outsiders.
As for Ace and his mother? After such a long period of operation, the fact that Lu Jiu came from the South China Sea has long been lost.
If this matter can be discovered, then Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's long-term operation in Dressrosa will be a joke.
Cyrus, who had just returned from patrol, disbanded the team. Today was considered the "New Year's Day", and after the afternoon patrol, the sailors officially had a holiday.
After returning to the base, Cyrus immediately went to the training ground to look for Yoriichi Tsugakuni, but when he arrived at the training ground, he only saw Mihawk leaning against the wall, and did not see Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
At this time, Mihawk had his hands behind his back, his back against the wall of the training ground, hiding in the shadows and looking up at the sky, looking like he was in a daze.
Cyrus came to Mihawk's side, looked around the empty space, and asked in confusion:
"Lieutenant Colonel Mihawk, where's the Vice Admiral?"
Hearing the question, Mihawk lowered his head slightly, glanced at Cyrus, and raised his chin towards the sky without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Cyrus raised his head in confusion and looked in the direction indicated by Mihawk. As soon as he raised his head, Cyrus vaguely saw a figure in the clouds. The bright red hair was extremely conspicuous even under the sunlight.
Tsugikuni Yuichiro is actually flying in the sky?
"Hey, what's going on?"
Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the figure in the air, and exclaimed in shock. With Cyrus's eyes, he could see that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was not using the "Moon Step" in the air at this time, he was really "flying" in the sky!
Moreover, the speed is incredibly fast, and the figure can even turn freely while moving. Such an ability is simply not something that Yuebu can possess.
Moon Step, one of the Six Styles of the Navy, is a derivative version of Shave. In order to fly into the air, one needs to use the reaction force after stepping on the air. This also causes sonic booms to be heard in the air when people use Moon Step.
And due to the limitations of the Moon Step, the user of the Moon Step cannot change direction freely when in the air, because the only force they can use is their feet.
For example, if a Moon Step user is attacked in mid-air, they have no way to dodge downwards. The most they can do is upwards, or in other directions. This is because humans are creatures with their heads up and their feet down.
But at this time, Tsugikuni Yoriichi in the air was clearly maintaining a "standing" posture in the air, but he was able to move freely in the air. This ability was basically flying. More importantly, Cyrus did not hear the "sonic boom" from the air.
“He developed some abilities.”
"Hehehehe"
Hearing Cyrus's surprised cry, Mihawk couldn't help but show a strong excitement on his face after explaining.
Since returning from Miguo Town, Ji Guoyuan began to try to "fly" in the air. Until today, Ji Guoyuan has finally completely developed his "technology".
Looking at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi in mid-air, Mihawk couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. He had witnessed Tsugakuin Yoshiichi develop this ability step by step. In just a few months, he had developed the ability to fly. This terrifying talent was completely unheard of by Mihawk.
No, this can't be described as talent at all. Something that goes against "common sense" simply can't be explained by talent!
Mihawk and Cyrus stared at Yoriichi Tsugakuni in the air for a long time. Suddenly, a faint whistling sound was heard in the air, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni's figure quickly fell back to the ground. Although he fell from a height of dozens of meters, at this time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni's toes lightly touched the ground, which was indescribably light.
As Yoshikazu Tsugakuten fell, Cyrus felt a powerful domineering aura emanating from Yoshikazu Tsugakuten's body. This domineering aura had already taken shape and blew away the dust under Yoshikazu Tsugakuten's feet.
Falling back to the ground, Ji Guoyuan frowned and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The time is too short."
Cyrus trotted over to Yunyi's side and couldn't help asking, "Lieutenant General, what was that just now?"
Until now, Cyrus was still immersed in shock and stuttered when he spoke.
"Oh, Cyrus."
"You mean this? It's just a small application of Conqueror's Haki."
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuanyi's domineering aura surged, and his feet slowly left the spot, floating up dozens of centimeters. After maintaining this position for a while, Ji Guoyuanyi's domineering aura gradually subsided, and he slowly fell back to the ground.
Cyrus was stunned by this scene. It was the first time he knew that domineering energy could actually support a person's flight. He had never seen such an outrageous thing before, let alone seen it, he had never even heard of it.
The essence of domineering aura, to put it simply, is the "flowing" "qi", but normally, domineering aura requires a carrier, which can be the body or an object. Without the carrier, domineering aura cannot actually cause any substantial damage.
Only a few people can awaken the Conqueror's Haki, and when the Conqueror's Haki is cultivated to a certain level, this "qi" can break away from the carrier and affect other things.
The future Four Emperors' Conqueror's Haki was incredibly powerful, but at most it could only shatter the wooden side of a ship. But at this moment, Tsugikuni Yoriichi could actually use Conqueror's Haki to fly?!
Not only Cyrus couldn't believe such a thing, but even Mihawk, who witnessed the whole process of Yoriichi Tsugakuni developing new abilities, couldn't accept this reality until Yoriichi Tsugakuni was able to fly freely in the air.
"A little application of Domineering Haki?"
Cyrus still looked incredulous as he listened to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's explanation, but Yoriichi didn't say much about it. Cyrus was still far from his level.
Ever since the defeat in Miguo Town, Tsugumi Yoshiichi has been thinking about how to make up for the shortcomings of Moon Step. Finally, he came up with the idea of using Haki to assist in flying.
He had originally intended to use his Armament Haki to aid him, but perhaps due to the limitations of this world, his Armament Haki, like everyone else's, could only be attached to "objects." The most he could do was attach his Haki to "air," just like a Haki slash.
But at this level, there was no way to support him in the air.
Therefore, he set his sights on Conqueror's Haki. Unlike the slash of Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki does not require any carrier to affect real things. The slash made with Conqueror's Haki is a pure Haki slash.
Yoriichi's domineering Haki slash can easily cut an island in half, and he is also fully capable of using this level of Haki to support his flight.
After a period of trial and experimentation, Yuichiro Tsugikuni finally mastered his "flying" skill.
Tsugikuni Yuichi called this ability "Dancing in the Sky." Although the name seems to be the same as another ability, it can most intuitively "describe" this ability.
However, this flying ability consumes a lot of Conqueror's Haki. If he just flies without using Conqueror's Haki to attack, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Haki reserves can only support him flying for about five or six hours.
If you use Conqueror's Haki to fight, this time will be greatly shortened. The time you can hold out depends on the intensity of the battle.
"Cyrus, have you prepared everything for the New Year?"
"Brothers, you haven't had much vacation time for such a long time. You've all worked hard. Let's take this opportunity to reward everyone with a banquet tonight."
After a period of development, the number of people in Tsugakuni Yuichi's naval branch has expanded to nearly two thousand. In the past year, the sailors have been busy with training and patrols, with very few holidays. These rare good days also allow the sailors to relax.
As the sun sets, the cafeteria of the Navy branch is bustling with people.
The lights in Dressrosa were also coming on, and fireworks were set off in the castle in the center of the city. The colorful "sparks" lit up the entire night sky.
West Sea.
Under the cover of night, waves rose on the calm sea. The warship's searchlight hit a small boat on the sea. The next second, a huge black shadow flew down from the deck of the warship and landed on the small boat. As the figure fell, the stern of the boat sank and was about to capsize.
The man moved quickly and grabbed the woman who was paddling hard on the boat. He quickly jumped into the air and carried the woman back to the deck of the warship.
"I am Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Gvar Salon."
"Nicole Olivia, you're under arrest!"
The moonlight fell and shone on the warship.
A "giant" in a navy uniform casually threw the "woman" in his hand onto the deck and said in a cold voice.
On the deck, a slender white-haired woman raised her head and looked at the giant in front of her that blocked out the moonlight. After her expression changed several times, she quickly regained her composure.
Seeing Nicole Olivia pleading guilty, Salon slowly took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms, dialed the headquarters, and reported that he had caught the fugitive.
However, after the call was connected, the order given to Salon by the other end of the phone made Salon stand still, as if struck by lightning.
"Saron, after capturing Nicole Olivia, lead the fleet to O'Hara."
"Cooperate with other lieutenant generals to implement the Demon Slaying Order against O'Hara!"
