Chapter 79: World Nobles! (Subscribe)
Corsica.
Garp's warship docked at the dock of the small town of Xijia.
It seemed that the people here had not seen a ship from outside the island for a long time. At this moment, at the small pier, passers-by stopped and stretched their necks to look at the port.
"navy?!"
"What's the Navy doing here?!"
"Did something happen?"
"This warship doesn't seem to be the 23rd branch of the navy stationed in the Kingdom of Lulucia."
The residents on the dock gathered together, looking at the warship that was dropping anchor and talking in low voices.
Ji Guoyuan stood at the bow of the warship and saw the residents on the dock pointing and whispering at the warship, and a smile appeared on his face.
Once upon a time, he often saw such scenes. When the "intelligence officers" in the First Family Village saw outsiders coming to the village, their expressions were exactly the same as those of the Xijia Town residents who were now gathered at the dock.
Xijia Town was built along the seaport. Although it is a port town, the people of Xijia Town do not have much contact and communication with outsiders. This is mainly because Xijia Town does not produce any "specialties", and most of the residents in the town live a self-sufficient life.
The industry in the entire town is not very developed. As Ji Guoyuan looked around, the tallest building was only a two-and-a-half-story building.
It was early morning, and a cold winter breeze was blowing through the port.
The residents who came to watch the excitement watched for a while, then shrank back and gradually dispersed.
The streets were sparsely populated, with only bursts of laughter coming from some pubs and food shops on both sides of the road.
"Vice Admiral Garp, the anchor has been dropped."
"What are we going to do next?!"
After the warship came to a steady stop, Garp's adjutant Bogart trotted to Garp's side, reported to him, and asked about the next plan.
At this time, Garp was standing next to Yoriichi Tsugakuni, looking in a certain direction of the town, squinting his eyes slightly, as if looking for something.
Hearing Bogart's question, he said without turning his head: "The quartermaster will disembark to replenish supplies. The rest of the people will stay where they are and rest."
"Bogart, take a team and simply patrol this town to see if there are any pirates. If there are, eliminate them immediately."
"I have some things to do. When I get back, I'll set sail."
As Cap said this, Bogart saluted on the spot, shouted "yes" and hurried away to give Cap's orders.
Garp didn't wait for the crew to lower the wooden ladder before grabbing the railing with one hand, as if he wanted to jump off the boat. However, as soon as his hand grabbed the railing, he turned his head to look at Yuichiro Tsugakuin and asked, "Boy, do you want to go with us?"
"Goodbye."
"You're reuniting with Long and his son, why should I join in the fun?"
"I'll go patrol the island with Lieutenant Bogart later."
Tsugikoku Yoshiaki shook his head and refused Garp's "invitation". He already knew the reason why Long left the Navy, so he no longer had any interest in Garp and Long's reunion. He knew that Garp was most likely here to "persuade" Long to return to the Navy.
But in that kind of situation, Yunyi knew the outcome even with his ass. Every person who possessed Conqueror's Haki was a person of strong will. A guy like Long would definitely follow his will. Since the other party had made a choice, there was absolutely no way he could go back on his word.
Karp probably knows this very well, and his attempt is just his last effort as a father.
Even the future Caplian Kuzan couldn't "persuade" him to return to the navy, let alone Long.
"Yeah, that's fine."
"You've been alone in the Boeing Islands for so long. It would be good to go out with Bogart and interact with other people."
"If you want to be a good navy, you can't do it without knowing the living conditions of the people."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
As Karp said this, he turned over and jumped directly off the warship, then walked towards the west of the town.
Shortly after Garp disembarked, Bogart hurried back to the deck. A marine had already lowered a wooden ladder. Bogart walked up to the deck and saw only Tsugakuin Yoshiichi standing there. He couldn't help but ask:
"Yūichirō, where's Vice Admiral Garp? Has he left?"
Yunyi nodded when he heard this, then turned to Bogart and said, "Colonel Bogart, are you going to take people to patrol the island?"
"Take me with you?"
When Ji Guoyuan first met Bogart over a year ago, he was only a lieutenant colonel, but now he was a colonel. This aide-de-camp to Garp was a low-key officer, yet his promotion was rapid.
However, according to Guoyuan, Bogart's promotion speed is still too slow.
You have to know that Garp's future disciple, the man who always said he wanted to become an admiral of the navy, grew from a soldier to a colonel of the navy headquarters in just two years.
In this respect, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was far inferior to Kobi. He had been in the navy for a year and a half, and was still only a major. He had been promoted to this position more than a year ago. In the past year or so, his rank had not been promoted at all.
"Are you going too? Okay then."
"But patrolling isn't fun, so don't get bored then!"
Faced with Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's request, Bogart agreed without thinking.
After the crew lowered the wooden ladder, they called a few young marines on the deck and walked down from the warship.
It's just a small town with a population of several thousand. The composition of the population is quite simple, and there is no need for a big patrol. Including Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, there are only five people in Bogart's group.
Moreover, Bogart's method of searching for pirates is also very simple and crude. Once his Observation Haki is activated, he will patrol the area where people emit stronger "energy" first.
So as soon as he got off the boat, Bogart led his men towards the east side of the island.
Not long after Bogart led Jiguo Yuan and others away, a luxury cruise ship flying the flag of the World Government slowly sailed towards the port of Xijia Island.
At the bow of the cruise ship, a young man wearing a bubble mask and a white slim-fit suit was holding the railing with both hands, looking at the sea view in the distance.
This is actually a world noble, the legendary Celestial Dragon!
The young man was about 170cm tall, with a well-proportioned body. His facial features were not precise, but not ugly either. His brown hair was combed neatly, and combined with his clothes, he looked quite capable.
Judging from appearance alone, this young man is generally an ordinary person with an ordinary face. Of course, if compared with his "peers", his face can be described as handsome.
At this moment, looking at the island of Sigmaringa getting closer and closer, his eyes were full of longing.
"I heard that the Kingdom of Goa is the most beautiful country in the East China Sea."
"I want to see if there is really a place in the world more beautiful than Marinjoa!"
"Pah~"
At the Rock Bar east of Xijia Town, a team of navy men pushed open the door and entered.
After entering the bar, the sailors found a few empty seats in front of the bar and sat down.
"Boss, what kind of juice do you have here?"
A red-haired young man from the navy team sat down, tapped the table lightly, and asked the bartender behind the counter this question.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the originally noisy bar fell silent. After a short silence, deafening laughter broke out.
“Hahahahaha!!”
