Through the coup, in just a few days, the World Government had successfully established a foothold on Fishman Island.
With the help of Ryugugu, the World Government quickly eradicated the new navy on Fishman Island. Even Vice Admiral Jinbe, who was stationed on Fishman Island, was captured alive by the World Government and imprisoned.
After parting with Luffy, Sabo returned to Fishman Street as soon as possible. Through learning from various sources, Sabo quickly figured out the source of the chaos on Fishman Island.
But he had no better way to solve this problem.
His devil fruit ability is too conspicuous in the navy.
Deep down, Sabo did not want a conflict between the Marine Headquarters and the New Navy, but he could not prevent the riot from happening because the people who led this coup were the Celestial Dragons. With his identity, if he rebelled against the Celestial Dragons, it would bring great trouble to himself and his brothers.
More importantly, things have already happened, and no matter what he does now, he can't stop the conflict between the World Government and the New Navy.
However, Sabo did not leave Fishman Island. Instead, he chose to hide on the island under an assumed name.
He wants to see with his own eyes how this matter will develop in the end. This is actually very important to Sabo. If Fishman Island under the control of the World Government can still be harmonious, peaceful, prosperous and developed as before, then Sabo will stand firmly on the side of the navy in the future.
But if Fishman Island becomes increasingly chaotic under the control of the World Government, Sabo's stance may waver.
Someone like Sabo would definitely change his stance if he finally found out that he was not standing with the justice in his heart.
The reason why Sabo has not yet discovered the darkness of the Navy and the World Government is simply because during the years he grew up, the Celestial Dragons have restrained their actions greatly because of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. If not, the ugly faces of the Celestial Dragons could not be concealed at all.
and
During these few days, Sabo has actually witnessed the cruel methods of the World Government. Although he acknowledges in his heart that the New Navy is the enemy of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, after seeing the collective punishment method of the World Governor, Sabo actually does not agree with it in his heart.
But the enemy is still the enemy after all. Even if he doesn't agree, he won't think that the World Government and the Marine Headquarters are so rotten that they cannot be changed.
He just thought that these people's way of doing things was as decisive as General Sakaski's.
After the new navy on Fishman Island was eliminated by the World Government, the riot on the island did not subside.
Because what the world government really wanted to do has not been completed.
Under the orders of the Five Elders, a large number of people were scattered throughout Fishman Island to search for the whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates and others, but despite such a high-intensity search, no trace of the Straw Hat Pirates and others was found.
Many pirates disguised as civilians were found, but the target person of the Five Elders had not appeared yet.
After searching for several consecutive days, the Five Elders gradually lost their patience. They had suspected that the Straw Hat Pirates had left Fishman Island, but in their opinion, the recording pointers in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates should not have recorded the magnetic field of this place.
However, the Five Elders did not leave Fishman Island because of this. Instead, they stayed on Fishman Island and issued an order to the Navy Headquarters to mobilize troops, ordering the Navy Headquarters to send troops to strengthen the defense of Fishman Island. They also asked the Navy Headquarters to transport some live broadcast equipment, intending to hold a live execution on Fishman Island.
The Five Elders believed that the news of Jinbe's capture had not been leaked yet. They felt that the new navy of the New World would not be able to react so quickly, and this period of time would be the best opportunity for them to consolidate their rule over Fishman Island.
Even without Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the New Navy is still a huge force.
But without the top powerhouses of that level, the Five Elders have nothing to fear.
After the navy sends its strong men out of Fishman Island, they will be able to deal with any action taken by the new navy with ease.
However, what the Five Elders did not expect was that while they were waiting for reinforcements from the Naval Headquarters to arrive, the ship carrying Zephyr and Tsugumi Yoshiichi had already arrived in the waters above Fishman Island and completed the coating.
New world.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, accompanied by rumbling thunder. There was a strong wind and waves on the sea, and a ship was tossing up and down in the waves, as if it would capsize at any time.
On the deck of the warship, Zefa and Jiguo Yuanyi walked out of the cabin one after another and came to the bow.
Zefa looked up at the sky, pursed his lips, and murmured: "The weather today is not very good. It seems that it is not very suitable for sailing."
Beside him, Jiguo Yuan leaned against the railing, silently looking at the sky without saying a word. After a long time, Yuanyi finally spoke:
"We're heading to Fishman Island. Whether the weather is good or bad, it won't have any impact once the ship dives hundreds of meters."
"Teacher Zefa, you worry too much."
Jiguo Yuanyi understood that Zefa's words had a hidden meaning, but at the same time, his words were also a disguised way of enlightening Zefa.
Jinbe had lost contact with them, and they had been unable to get in touch with him again for several days.
Combined with the last conversation between Jinbei and them before they lost contact, Zefa already had the worst-case scenario in mind.
"It's been so many days since Jinbei contacted us to report the situation on Fishman Island."
"It seems that it has been attacked by the World Government."
"Yuichi, how about we give up this operation?"
"According to Jinbe's intelligence, all of the Five Elders and a general should be gathered on Fishman Island right now."
"Their combat power is even greater than ours, and if it's Fishman Island, you won't be able to fully utilize your abilities."
"If someone accidentally breaches Fishman Island's defenses and causes seawater to flood back, everyone will die there."
"The Five Elders will have the opportunity to use their special methods to leave Fishman Island."
“This is really disadvantageous for us.”
Just as Zephyr was talking to Yoriichi Tsugakuni, a layer of transparent bubbles had already wrapped around the ship and was inflated.
The preparations for the dive have been completed, and Zefa's adjutant quickly came to Zefa's side and asked Zefa if he wanted to set off for Fishman Island now.
However, in response to his subordinates' inquiries, Zefa waved his hand, signaling them to leave first, without making any decision.
Of course, Tsugikuni Yoriichi understood Zephyr's concerns, but the current situation did not allow them to think too much. Fishman Island must not fall into the hands of the World Government.
There is one thing Zefa doesn't know, there is an ancient weapon called Poseidon on Fishman Island.
If the World Government successfully takes control of Poseidon, it will become impossible for their new navy to further expand its influence.
And the reason why Jiguoyuan insisted on this action was not just because of the Sea King.
There are not many things that can attract all the Five Elders to leave the holy land. For Yoriichi Tsugikuni, this is also a rare opportunity.
Although there is not much pure gold in hand, if it is used well, there is a chance to keep all the Five Elders on Fishman Island.
And more importantly.
Jinbe's whereabouts are unknown now. He is a very important partner to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and he wants to see him alive or dead.
Of course, Zefa's concerns are not unreasonable.
However, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was also absolutely confident that he could control the scope of the battlefield and prevent the bubble shield protecting Fishman Island from being broken by the battle.
"Teacher Zephyr, Fishman Island is very important to our new navy."
"Not only does the island contain important historical texts, but King Neptune's daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, is also capable of controlling sea kings."
"You've probably heard of ancient weapons, right? That Sea King is actually Shirahoshi himself."
"Ancient weapons must never fall into the hands of the World Government. Otherwise, we have no idea what they can do with them."
"And I want to confirm for myself whether Jinbe is still alive."
"If he dies, I will avenge him; but if he's still alive and we don't go to Fishman Island, we'll miss the chance to rescue him."
Ji Kuniyoshi's tone was soft and calm. Even though such a big thing happened on Fishman Island, his heart was still able to remain so calm.
And the calm words of Yoriichi Tsugikuni can also bring great strength to Zephyr. Zephyr understands that behind this calmness is absolute self-confidence and terrifying strength.
After hearing that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was so insistent, Zephyr would no longer express his opposition.
Although Yuichiro Tsugakuin is his disciple, this disciple of his is so outstanding that Zephyr can unconditionally support any decision of Yuichiro Tsugakuin.
"Sail!"
Zefa waved his arms and shouted orders to the crew behind him.
Upon hearing Zefa's order, the warship immediately sank its bow and dived towards Fishman Island.
The ocean is vast, and Tsugakuni Yoriichi and others who went from the New World to Fish-man Island naturally did not meet the Straw Hat Pirates who came out of Fish-man Island.
Because of the influence of ocean currents, ships leaving Fishman Island actually have no idea in which sea area of the New World they will float.
Similarly, there are several sea areas in the New World that can lead to Fish-man Island. In other words, if there is enough oxygen in the bubble, you can reach Fish-man Island by diving in any sea area in the New World. You just need to soak in the sea for a few more days.
Yoriichi didn't know that they had passed by the Straw Hat Pirates, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because the purpose of this trip to Fishman Island has changed, the people in the Straw Hat Pirates are not the focus of their attention.
The warship dived a hundred meters, and the surroundings became pitch black. The fog lights were turned on, and the warship quickly sailed towards Fishman Island in the direction indicated by the recording pointer.
"Teacher Zefa, just to be on the safe side, our ship should not enter Fishman Island."
"After approaching Fishman Island, I entered Fishman Island alone wearing my bubble suit."
"You will meet up in the sea. If my operation goes smoothly this time and I eliminate the people from the World Government, I will contact you."
"Before that, just in case, you should support me outside."
"I'm worried about the others staying on the ship, so I need you, Mr. Zefa, to take charge personally."
On the deck, as the ship got closer and closer to Fishman Island, Yoriichi Tsugakuni also told Zefa his thoughts.
When Zefa heard what Jiguoyuan said, the first thought that flashed through his mind was to object. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to say it, but then he thought again and felt that what Jiguoyuan said made sense.
He probably made this request because he was afraid that if the bubble protecting Fishman Island was destroyed, there would be no way to evacuate the island.
It is normal to have such concerns, and from Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's perspective, having such a backup plan will allow him to be more flexible.
"Um"
"Okay, I promise."
After pondering for a while, Zefa nodded seriously and agreed in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Zefa."
Hearing Zephyr agree, a gentle smile appeared on Tsugikuni Yoriichi's face.
The reason why he chose to do this was actually because Yunyi considered that after fighting with the Five Elders and others, he would not be able to take people like Zefa into consideration.
Zephyr's strength is indeed very strong, and he can provide some help to Tsugakuni Yoriichi in the battle, but the strength of the World Government entrenched in Fishman Island is too strong. For Tsugakuni Yoriichi, there is actually not much difference between having such help and not having such help.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Zefa pick me up outside the island so that I can completely let go and fight the enemy.
After reaching a consensus, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi stood at the bow of the ship, closed his eyes and began to rest, preparing for the next battle.
His right hand rested lightly on the hilt of the knife, and his left hand gently stroked the ring on his right index finger, waiting quietly.
Fishman Street.
The riots in the city have never stopped, and it is precisely because of this riot that some people with bad intentions have the opportunity to steal and commit crimes.
Fishman Street, the original slum and underdeveloped area on Fishman Island, is even more chaotic under such a chaotic situation.
In just a few days, local hooligans had fought several major battles over territory, forcing some ordinary people to hide in their homes, afraid to go out easily, and could only hope that the riots would pass quickly.
It was noon.
Only a few food shops were still open on the once bustling street; the other shops had either been smashed or were closed.
The former prosperity has become dead.
"call out--"
A dazzling golden light streaked across the sky and then landed in a secluded corner of Yuman Street.
After a while, a red-haired young man with a long sword on his waist slowly walked out from the corner of the street and came to the street.
Ji Guoyuan looked around and glanced at the chaotic streets. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, and his observation Haki unfolded. In just a blink of an eye, it covered the entire Fishman Island.
After a quick investigation, Jigoku Yoshiichi's originally frowned brows finally relaxed.
"Jinbei."
"I am coming!"
