Chapter 447: Diverting Conflicts, a Lifeline! (Two-in-One)
Whitebeard, covered in blood, lay on the sand, breathing softly. Although he looked quite embarrassed, he still had a faint smile on his face.
Using the people on the island to exchange for the lives of his sons can be considered a transaction, but for Tsugikuni Yoriichi, it is also a threat.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi has never been the kind of person who would be threatened by pirates
"Know Me"
Yunyi pondered the meaning behind Whitebeard's words and murmured softly.
"If you really understand me, you wouldn't threaten me in this way."
"You should know that I will not make deals with pirates, nor will I be coerced by them."
Yoriichi was not in a hurry to take action. Whitebeard had already lost his fighting ability, but he didn't mind chatting with this legend of the sea for a few more words.
Of course, the main reason why Yunyi would talk nonsense with Whitebeard was that he was indeed controlled by Whitebeard.
Although he had concerns in his heart, when facing Whitebeard, Yunyi still used another excuse.
By being able to keep Whitebeard alive, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's strategic goal has actually been achieved.
When this news spread, the Wan Guo he ruled would have a firm foothold in the New World. The new navy, riding on the name of the Whitebeard Pirates, would become the most powerful force in the New World.
No one dared to provoke their new navy again.
More importantly, even if Yoshiichi Tsugumi is no longer in charge of Bankoku, the pirates on this sea will never easily break into the territory controlled by the new navy.
After achieving the goal of "deterrence", Whitebeard's life and death have limited value to the new navy.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni really couldn't do such a thing as ignoring the safety of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people on Milk Island simply for the sake of pursuing the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.
For the current Yoriichi Tsugakuni, cutting off Whitebeard's head is just a matter of moving his hands, but Yoriichi Tsugakuni cannot guarantee that Whitebeard will not use his ability to bury the entire Milk Island before his consciousness completely dissipates.
Yunyi did not dare to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the gambling table.
Yoshiichirō had an indifferent expression and a steady tone, showing no emotion at all, as if he didn't care about Whitebeard's coercion at all.
But Whitebeard still smiled and just looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni beside him without answering.
The two men just stared at each other in silence. After more than ten seconds, Jiguo Yuanyi closed his eyes slightly and moved the long sword in his hand away from Whitebeard's throat.
Seen through
"Gulala!"
A light laugh escaped Whitebeard's lips. "I told you, I understand you! Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
Whitebeard was smiling, but his clenched fists did not loosen at all. As Whitebeard said, he really "understood" Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Yunyi glanced at Whitebeard, shook his head slightly, and said:
"It's too early for you to be happy."
"Even if I don't hunt down your sons."
"Do you think they can live freely on this sea?"
"Without you, Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates will soon fall apart."
"You've been traversing the ocean for so many years. If your enemies were to join hands, they could probably circle the world."
"Without you, those people would have eaten all your sons."
With Whitebeard left in Wano Country, the reshuffle of the new world order has become a foregone conclusion.
Even if the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates left Banko, they would not necessarily be safe without Whitebeard's protection.
Hearing what Tsugikoku Yoriichi said, Whitebeard's smile remained unchanged:
"No child can live under the protection of his father forever."
"Each of them will embark on his own adventure."
"What the future holds is up to them!"
“Gulala--”
For a pirate of Whitebeard's caliber, there is nothing he cannot accept. His heartbeat has already changed.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's words did not affect his mood.
Hearty laughter echoed along the coast.
Seeing Whitebeard still laughing freely in the desperate situation, Jiguo Yuanyi unconsciously revealed a smile on his face:
"If only you weren't a pirate."
There was some emotion and regret in Yuanyi's words.
No one knows why such an emotion emerged in Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
"What nonsense! Gulala--"
Whitebeard felt the regret in Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's expression, and his smile became more unbridled. His clenched fists slowly loosened, and the guard in his heart seemed to be completely let down.
It was not until Tsugakuin no longer hid his emotions that Whitebeard truly understood Tsugakuin.
“.”
Whitebeard, who had lost too much blood, felt his body was cold and his brain was becoming increasingly dizzy. The laughter echoing over the beach was also becoming weaker and weaker.
The sea breeze blew gently, and Ji Guoyuan looked at Whitebeard who had completely lost consciousness, raised his head, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The warship in the distant sea slowly started and quickly headed towards Milk Island.
The warship docked, and a group of sailors wearing new naval uniforms rushed to the shore and quickly came to the side of Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Yixiao and Abel quickly came to the side of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi. Abel looked down at Whitebeard lying on the beach and was shocked.
Yixiao quickly came to the side of Jigoku Yoshiichi, silently stretched out his hand, and gently supported Jigoku Yoshiichi.
"Tie him up with seastone."
"Simply treat his wounds, put him in prison, and keep him under strict guard."
"In a few days, I will personally lead the team and send him to the Navy Headquarters."
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi gently shook off Yixiao's hand, shook his head, and then gave orders to the navy who had gathered around him.
"Send it to the Navy Headquarters?"
"Mr. Jiguo, Whitebeard, won't we, the New Navy, judge?"
"This is a great opportunity to publicize our strength to the people of the world. Why give it to the Navy Headquarters? We and them..."
After hearing Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's order, Abel's face was full of confusion, and he couldn't help but ask. The doubts in his heart were also the doubts in the hearts of all the new navy present.
Whitebeard. This is Whitebeard!
Capturing Whitebeard was such an amazing thing. If their new navy could publicly try Whitebeard, to what extent would the reputation of their new navy be raised?
By then, in the eyes of ordinary people, even the Navy Headquarters will not be able to compare with their new navy, right?!
"We, the New Navy, have become wanted criminals. We have become independent. Why are we still contacting the Navy Headquarters?"
"You all think so, right?"
"Haha. I'm afraid the Five Elders think so too."
"For us, the new navy, the moment we defeat Whitebeard, our fame will be something that no one can take away."
"His life is of limited value to us."
"But, by using him, we can plant a seed of doubt in the Five Elders."
"Also, if the Navy Headquarters decides to publicly execute Whitebeard like they did with Roger."
“What will those who leave from the nations today do?”
"The Whitebeard Pirates are more than just a few hundred pirates!"
Ji Guoyuan's eyes gleamed with a divine light, and in response to Abel's question, he didn't hide anything. After hearing Ji Guoyuan's words, Abel, Yixiao, and the others also showed some understanding on their faces.
Without further ado, Abel immediately had someone bring seastone handcuffs and personally escorted Whitebeard to the temporary prison on the warship.
Big Event! Whitebeard is Arrested!
The Legend Ends, Whitebeard Pirates Defeat!
Just two days after Whitebeard was captured by the New Navy, the New Navy spread the news throughout the world through its own "publicity channels".
The photo of Whitebeard being imprisoned also covered the entire page of the newspaper, and for a moment, the world was boiling.
Whitebeard, Bankoku, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and the New Navy.
These words kept appearing in the newspapers, shocking people's nerves. And the close-up photos of Whitebeard being imprisoned were also spread all over the world. Even though the public had doubts about the authenticity of this news, in the face of various irrefutable evidence, they had no choice but to believe such news.
The people who got the news jumped around to tell each other. Some people who had suffered persecution from pirates and hated pirates could not help but cheer after hearing the news that the great pirate Whitebeard had been captured. The people rushed to the streets and celebrated with their neighbors.
"Whitebeard was defeated by Yoriichi Tsugikoku and captured alive???"
The news spread very quickly, and Zhan Guo, who learned the news, immediately convened an emergency meeting.
This was a major event that could shake the entire world, with an impact even greater than the capture of Pirate King Roger. This was because the Whitebeard Pirates were different from the Roger Pirates, who were elite in nature. The Whitebeard Pirates were a large fleet.
Not only do he have countless crew members, but he also has countless islands flying the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!
A reshuffle of power is inevitable. Under such circumstances, their naval headquarters needs to take action to maintain world stability as much as possible.
In the headquarters meeting room, the generals attending the meeting all learned the news from Zhan Guo. After hearing the news, Garp also behaved a little out of control, slamming the table and standing up, his face full of disbelief.
Next to Garp, Zefa was also reviewing the information in his hand over and over again, looking at the photos on the information, without saying a word for a long time.
"This guy, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, has done something big again!"
A gleam of light flashed in Vice Admiral He's eyes, and he sighed with some emotion. Then he began to quickly calculate how the navy could maximize its interests in the future turbulent situation.
"It's really scary--" Borsalino put his hands on his chest, crossed his legs, sat comfortably on the chair, and sighed softly.
Beside him, Kuzan stared at the information in his hand for a long time without saying a word. A flash of shock flashed across Sakaski's face, and then he snorted softly, "That navy traitor has done something."
Malinjoa, Pangea.
After receiving the news, the Five Elder Stars gathered together. They reviewed the information they had received over and over again, without any trace of joy on their faces.
Izambaron V. Nasujuro said with a grim expression, "Whitebeard has been captured by Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Without his suppression, the pirates of the New World will probably be in chaos!"
Shepard ten Peter Saint held the documents in his hand and gently rubbed the golden beard on his chin: "That's not what I'm worried about."
"Whitebeard will probably be executed by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. By then, the New Navy's reputation will reach its peak, and the Whitebeard Pirates' territory will also be absorbed by him."
"The new navy will use this incident to expand again. They will become a behemoth that we cannot deal with."
Zeigolucia Satan nodded in agreement: "The threat posed by Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the New Navy is even greater than that posed by Whitebeard himself."
"After all, even that Whitebeard was defeated."
Makas Mazsheng: "So what should we do next?"
When Saint Maz asked the question, the other five elders fell into silence, and a depressing atmosphere hung over everyone's head.
What should we do? If we knew what to do, we wouldn’t need to gather together for a meeting.
Even the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't solve it, so could Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who is stronger than Whitebeard, and his gang find a way to solve it?
"Whitebeard or Yoriichi Tsugikoku"
“They’re not that person after all.”
Saint Topman Vochuli could only use these words to comfort everyone. After he finished speaking, the hall returned to silence again.
Everyone was silent for a long time.
In a certain sea area in the New World, newspapers fell from the sky.
On the deck of the Moby Dick, Marco stood at the side of the ship with a worried look on his face, holding his chin with one hand, looking at the blue sea.
“Daddy!!!”
A light sound came from the air. Marco raised his head and picked up the fallen newspaper in his hand. He gently spread it out and glanced at the content on the newspaper. Marco's pupils suddenly shrank, and after a low cry of pain, tears burst out of his eyes.
The pirates on the deck were all attracted by Marco. They gathered around him, took the newspaper from Marco's hand, and read the information on it. Their grief and anger instantly burst out.
"No! I have to rescue Daddy!!!"
Marco shook off his grief, his hands transformed into a pair of blue wings, and just as he was about to leave, Thatch grabbed him.
"Asshole, how could you possibly save Daddy by yourself?"
"Even my father is no match for Tsugikoku Yoriichi, what's the point of you going there!"
"Marco, calm down!"
Sachi hugged Marco's waist tightly and advised him, and Vista and others also reacted at this time and stepped forward to stop him.
Marco, pinned to the boat and unable to escape, flew into a rage and roared at his companions:
"What should we do then? Are we just going to ignore Dad?"
"Have you guys forgotten your father's kindness?"
Marco was so emotional that he could hardly control himself.
"Let's go to Wano Country! Didn't Dad already tell us? Let's go to Wano Country!"
"Oden, let's go find Oden and rescue dad together! If it's him, we'll definitely have a chance."
"Let's gather all our crew members! We'll definitely be able to rescue Dad!"
"Calm down, Marco!"
Thatch shouted while holding Marco's waist, and his words made the crew members on the ship cheer up, and their eyes showed strong expectations.
Kozuki Oden, the former captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, was born in Wano Country. Unlike other members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Kozuki Oden did not board the ship as Whitebeard's son, but as Whitebeard's younger brother.
Oden is very strong, so strong that he can fight against Kaido, the King of Beasts. After so many years, Kozuki Oden should have improved a lot.
Kozuki Oden, who possesses the qualifications of a "king", has become the lifeline of the Whitebeard Pirates' crew at this moment.
