Chapter 339: Encounter, the Navy Admiral is coming! (Two in one)
Inside Danjian Island.
The sharp alarm instantly penetrated the layers of walls of the laboratory. In the empty laboratory, Borsalino was lying comfortably on a bench. Next to him was a middle-aged man with a huge head.
The middle-aged man was of average height, but his head was as tall as his own, a strange sight. He was holding a thick syringe and slowly thrusting it toward Borsalino's arm, intending to draw blood.
The alarm exploded in the laboratory. Although the sound was not too loud due to the attenuation of the walls, the sudden sound in the quiet laboratory still made the middle-aged man tremble. He was obviously startled and stopped moving his hands.
"Alarm!"
"Dr. Vegapunk, something happened on the island."
"Hurry up and pull up the surveillance footage from the waters off Egg Point Island."
The alarm sounded for less than two seconds before it stopped abruptly. Although the alarm sounded, Borsalino, who was lying on the chair, rolled up his sleeves near his elbows and stood up from the chair while talking to the "big-headed" middle-aged man next to him.
A hint of solemnity appeared on his lazy face.
Egg Point Island, one of the Navy's many experimental bases, is headed by the Navy's chief scientist, Vegapunk. The location of Vegapunk's laboratory is a secret even within the Navy.
Only a very small number of people know where this island is.
Danjian Island is located in the middle and back part of the New World. The climate in the surrounding waters is extreme. Storms and heavy snow often occur at different times of the year.
Moreover, in the sea around Egg Point Island, there are mechanical sea beasts made by Vegapunk. These mechanical sea beasts are transformed from the Sea King series hunted by the navy. They will indiscriminately attack all ships trying to approach the island. Only warships equipped with special identification code devices on board can pass through the sea area guarded by mechanical sea beasts and approach or even land on Egg Point Island.
Now there are alarms coming into the laboratory, which means that someone has landed on the island, or a mechanical sea monster has been eliminated.
Even though those sea beasts are the products of Vegapunk's experiments, in the sea, the damage that a mechanical sea beast can cause is completely comparable to that of three or four warships with general-level officers on board.
Even if the navy wanted to deal with that kind of mechanical sea beast, it would have to have an officer of at least the rank of major general or above to lead the team in order to have a chance of victory.
It is unacceptable for the Navy for someone with such strength to land on Danjian Island, no matter what the reason, even if it is accidental.
Borsalino realized the seriousness of the matter. He stood up, quickly put on his suit, and walked towards the screen in the laboratory.
"Except for you navy guys, I haven't had any 'guests' here for many years."
"Are they pirates who stumbled in by mistake? If so, those guys are really unlucky!"
Vegapunk walked slowly to the front of the equipment with his big head, quickly pressed a few buttons on the console, and then the picture appeared on the black monitor.
On a large screen of 4 meters by 3 meters, 18 different surveillance images quickly appeared, three of which were from a bird's-eye view. When the images flashed, clouds and islands flashed across the screen. It seemed that it was a bird's-eye view from the sky.
Among the other 16 pictures, ten show the harbor, woods, buildings, and walkways. These are surveillance images of the island.
There are another 5 pictures that are from the deep sea perspective. As the pictures flash, unknown schools of fish flash across the pictures from time to time.
The remaining picture was a patch of white, with no scene projected onto the screen at all.
"There's nothing unusual on the island. Your navy's ships docked in the harbor have all drawn anchor and lowered their sails."
"No. 3 is not sending back any footage. It must have been destroyed."
Vegapunk and Borsalino quickly scanned the pictures on the screen. In just a few breaths, Vegapunk's sight was focused on the surveillance picture of the port.
In the picture, the warships that were originally docked at the port have now raised their sails, lined up in a row, and are slowly leaving the harbor, as if they are about to attack.
"Doctor, can you see what's happening at sea?"
Borsalino put on his suit, put his hands behind his back, looked at the various images on the screen, and then spoke.
In fact, when Borsalino was speaking, Vegapunk had already taken action. His hands were flying quickly on the console, and the three pictures at the top overlooking the island from the air flashed quickly, and almost at the same time they all switched to pictures of the sea.
"There."
Borsalino saw a strange ship flash by in one of the pictures and spoke up to warn.
Soon, all three pictures froze. In the center of the picture was a "small" ship. Next to the ship were the wreckage of a mechanical sea beast. The sea area around the wreckage had been polluted by yellow oil.
As the image quickly zoomed in, Vegapunk and Borsalino in the laboratory finally saw the figure on the ship.
Among them, the red-haired young man with a long sword slung across his body instantly attracted Borsalino's attention.
"It's him!"
"Why is this guy here?"
Borsalino recognized Yoshiichi Tsugikuni and was immediately stunned. He opened his mouth and muttered.
"who?"
Vegapunk turned his head in confusion and asked with some bewilderment. He had been absorbed in researching bloodline factors and human modification experiments in recent years. He had made a qualitative breakthrough in this area some time ago, and he hadn't paid attention to changes in the world situation for some time.
In other words, ever since the famous O'Hara was completely wiped off the map by the World Government, Vegapunk, feeling deeply threatened, has devoted all his energy to the bloodline factor and human modification experimental projects.
"How should I introduce him to you?"
"Former admiral of the navy, Yoriichi Tsugakuni."
"The guy I told you about before, the one who attacked the Holy Land and expelled the navy, is him."
Borsalino looked at the figure in the surveillance footage, scratched his hair, and spoke with some distress.
The good news is that the person who entered the waters of Egg Point Island and destroyed the mechanical sea beast was not a powerful pirate; the bad news is that Yoshiichi Tsugikuni is much more terrifying than those pirates.
Of course, with Borsalino's understanding of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, he didn't need to worry about the lives of the sailors who were currently attacking. However, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's arrival might bring him great trouble.
Jiguo Yuanyi is not a person who does nothing and likes to run around. He must have come here with a purpose. On Danjian Island, if there is anything worth Jiguo Yuanyi's personal efforts, it is probably only one thing.
Thinking of this, Borsalino turned his head slightly and looked at Vegapunk standing next to him.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi?!"
"Is that the young man who captured the Pirate King Roger?"
Hearing this name, Vegapunk's face showed a hint of surprise. He had heard of this name before, but had never seen the real person. He quickly turned his head to examine the group of people in the picture, and his eyes quickly locked onto the red-haired young man.
It wasn't because Tsugakuni Yoriichi was handsome and eye-catching. It was simply because Vegapunk sensed a different kind of calmness from Tsugakuni Yoriichi than from others.
This feeling is very similar to the feeling Borsalino gave him. This is the absolute confidence that absolute strength brings to people.
"Well, the one with long red hair and a long sword on his waist is Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
Borsalino's answer also confirmed Vegapunk's guess.
"I'll go see him and see what he's going to do."
"Doctor, you don't have to be nervous. Just do what you need to do."
"It's fine."
Borsalino said this as he slowly walked towards the door of the laboratory. Before leaving, he comforted Vegapunk with a few words.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi"
"Legend has it that the most talented young warrior in the history of the navy is one of them."
"If it's him, how strong would the bloodline factor be?"
Seeing Borsalino leave, Vegapunk turned around and looked at the red-haired young man in the picture, his heart burning with excitement.
On the sea, eight warships with full sails quickly sailed out from Danjian Island.
Ji Guoyuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the warships leaving the harbor in the distance, and fell silent. Suddenly, Ji Guoyuanyi seemed to realize something and quickly looked up at the sky. He found that among the clouds, there were huge birds circling over the ships.
Although there was no sign of attack, Jigoku Yoshiichi knew that the giant bird in the sky was probably from Danjian Island.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the giant bird suddenly appeared above their heads.
Not only that, there were undercurrents in the sea. When Ji Guoyuan used his Observation Haki to probe into the sea, he discovered that there was a giant creature in the sea swimming towards him quickly.
These new navy soldiers have been surrounded!
"General, what should we do?"
"There are naval bases on the island, and now they are all heading towards us."
"Given the current state of our ships, we can't even escape, let alone engage in a naval battle with those warships!"
"Are you going to fight them, General?"
On the observation deck, the lookout put down the telescope and asked loudly to Jiguo Yuanyi on the deck.
Hearing this, the young new navy officers who had just survived on the deck also looked at Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, but there was no fear on their faces at all, but rather some confusion.
With Yoriichi Tsugakuni around, the new navy members are confident no matter what opponent they face. However, when facing their former colleagues, the young people of the new navy really don't want to have a head-on conflict with the other side.
After all, they were once members of the navy.
"Wait until they come over."
"Even if a conflict does occur, you don't need to worry."
"As long as I'm here, you'll be fine."
Tsugumi Yuichiro walked to the bow of the ship, looked at the rapidly approaching warship, and spoke to the crew.
After hearing what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said, the new sailors looked obviously relaxed. Having just experienced the storm and the attack of sea beasts, they quickly lined up on the deck. It seemed that they did not want to show their previous fatigue in front of their former colleagues.
Jiguo Yuanyi noticed the actions of his subordinates, turned his head slightly, and looked at these guys holding their heads high and trying to be brave, and couldn't help but smile.
These guys don’t want to lose face!
The naval fleet was sailing very fast. Just as the warships were approaching quickly, a golden stream of light suddenly shot out from the distant Egg Point Island. In the blink of an eye, it flew over a thousand meters and landed directly on a warship leading the fleet.
"General Borsalino!"
On the deck of the first ship, the navy was busy loading ammunition into the cannons, preparing to directly fire cannonballs to sink the enemy ships once they came into range.
The existence of Egg Tip Island is a secret among secrets. No matter who the other party is, no matter whether the other party has already known the secrets of Egg Tip Island, they need to eliminate the potential threat.
Even if it means accidentally killing civilians who accidentally enter this sea area, it will not hesitate!
Borsalino's arrival made the faces of the navy who were on high alert even more solemn, and they all saluted Borsalino.
"Inform all ship commanders that no one is allowed to fire without my order."
After Borsalino finished speaking, his figure quickly turned into streaks of light and quickly disappeared from the sight of his subordinates.
The fleet commander, Borsalino's deputy, Rear Admiral Stoloberg, heard this without showing any surprise on his face, and simply replied:
"yes!"
In fact, Stoloberg had already seen the people on the ship through the telescope. He was a major general of the headquarters, so he naturally knew Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
His stance made him choose to let his men reload their weapons even when facing Tsugikuni Yoriichi. In fact, before Borsalino arrived, he had already prepared to die.
"Borsalino?"
"Why is this guy in a place like this? Isn't he at the Marine Headquarters?!"
The golden light shooting from the direction of Danjian Island was seen by Jiguo Yuanyi. When his observation Haki was unleashed, Jiguo Yuanyi caught the breath of an old acquaintance.
While he was surprised, Borsalino had already disappeared from the command ship in the distance, and golden light was rapidly condensing on the deck behind Ji Guoyuan.
"This is..."
The new sailors gasped when they saw the golden light rapidly gathering in the center of the deck. Rossinanti was also surprised to see this scene.
After a while, Borusali, wearing a bright yellow striped suit, walked out of the golden light, glanced at everyone on the deck, his eyes swept over Rosinante and Luo who was sticking his head out of the cabin, and then fell on Tsugikuni Yoriichi who was leaning against the railing at the bow.
"Long time no see—"
"General Jiguo Yuanyi!"
"I didn't expect to see you in a place like this."
"It's really surprising!"
Borsalino raised an eyebrow and greeted with a long drawl.
"Borsalino, it's been a long time."
"I didn't expect to see you here."
"As an admiral, why don't you stay at the headquarters of the navy and come to the New World?"
Ji Guoyuan looked at Kizaru and greeted him with a smile.
"I came to the New World on business, of course."
"I'm not as free as you."
"Some things, once ordered from above, must be done!"
"Is that what you said? General Tsugikoku Yoshida?"
"No, that's not right. It's the former general—Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi!"
Borsalino put his hands in his pockets, looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, and said. Hearing his words, Jiguo Yuanyi also showed some understanding. He grabbed the hilt of the long sword at his waist with one hand and chuckled:
"Well, I agree with what you said."
Ji Guoyuan nodded.
As he spoke, Borsalino clasped his hands together in front of his chest, then slowly separated them. In his palms, a lightsaber condensed and took shape:
"It's great that you understand!"
"Then please, surrender!"
"Traitor to the Navy!"
Seeing Borsalino taking a fighting stance, Tsugikuni Yoriichi quickly drew his sword and said with a smile:
"You are truly dedicated, Borsalino!"
