Chapter 43 Return, Waiting for the One! (Two in One)
After Roger's pirate group left, Garp's Dog-Headed Warship stopped chasing Roger.
Many of the navy members who had just fought with Roger's pirate group were seriously injured and needed some time to recuperate.
Garp's adjutant Bogart was unable to continue to perform his duties as adjutant due to serious injuries, and this position was temporarily replaced by Aokiji.
Not only were the crew members injured, but Garp's Doghead warship also suffered considerable damage due to his series of "silly" operations. After emergency repairs, it barely met the conditions for sailing. However, in such a harsh maritime environment in the New World, the Doghead warship could not go far at all.
It was for these reasons that Garp planned to go to the nearest port first, repair the warship, and then return to Marinford.
Roger's encounter with Charlotte Lingling was inevitable. He planned to find some strong major generals and vice generals after returning and reorganize the troops before setting sail.
As for sending an admiral into battle, Garp hadn't really thought about it. Because at that level, the action was no longer under the control of a vice admiral like him. Sengoku only obeyed the orders of the Navy Marshal Kong Gu, and most of the time he had to be stationed in Marineford.
Although in principle, Garp cannot appoint major generals and lieutenant generals, as long as Garp puts his arm around the necks of those major generals and lieutenant generals and says "give me some face", most lieutenant generals and major generals will still listen to Garp.
Garp knew very well that it would be very difficult for the subordinates on his ship alone to resist the Roger Pirates. If they continued to pursue them into the territory of Wanguo, they might be attacked by the Big Mom Pirates.
Those guys are different from Roger's pirate group. Putting aside the number of people, those pirates will not hold back when it comes to their navy.
If Garp were to be hindered by Charlotte Linlin, it would be hard to say how many of the crew members on the ship would be able to survive.
Don't act rashly without complete preparation.
Although Garp acts recklessly, he is different from Luffy in that he thinks before doing anything.
Just like when he breaks into the Beehive Island in the future, the people he brings with him are not the rookie sailors on the ship at this moment, but members of the elite force "SWORD".
Three days later, Garp's Doghead warship docked at the military port of the New World G-63 branch. After resting for a while at the branch, Garp's ship set sail again and headed towards Marinford.
The midday sun is like toffee, with a light and elegant taste.
On the sparkling sea, fish occasionally jump out of the water and play with the sun.
On the vast ocean, a dog-head warship covered with "patches" is sailing on the sea.
Two full months have passed since Garp led his team to leave Marineford, and the impact of the defeat a dozen days ago has not yet dissipated from the warship to this day.
Only half of the navy who participated in the battle have recovered their ability to move after these days of recuperation, and some are still lying in bed, too weak to get up.
The most complete group of people on the ship now are probably the sailors in the engine room, because the combat effectiveness of the sailors in the engine room is generally weak, and most of them could not withstand the domineering aura emitted by Roger at that time.
It was precisely because these sailors were unconscious at the time that they were avoided from being injured.
At this moment, only a handful of sailors were scattered around the warship, telescopes in hand, observing the situation on the sea. Normally, there would be at least twice as many sailors on the deck.
Unlike those sailors who were conscientiously sticking to their posts, on the deck at this moment, there was a red-haired young man in a navy service uniform, standing by the fence, staring at the sea in a daze.
The sea breeze blew, and the boy's red hair fluttered in the wind.
The sailors on the deck seemed to have gotten used to it and were minding their own business. No one paid any attention to the "serviceman".
Suddenly, the red-haired boy seemed to have suffered some secret attack. He slowly squatted on the ground with his right hand covering his chest. His left hand was tightly grasping the railing, his face full of pain.
"Brother Yunichi! What's wrong with you, Yunichi!" The boy's abnormality attracted the attention of the navy on duty not far away. He shouted and ran to Tsugikuni Yunichi and asked with concern.
Ji Guoyuan knelt on the deck with his head down and did not answer. The navy officer saw that the situation was not good and hurried to the cabin to call for help.
Not long after, Garp and Aokiji hurried onto the deck and surrounded Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Garp lowered his head to look at Tsugikoku Yoriichi's appearance, frowned, and asked with concern:
"Yuichi, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Or sick?"
"Ship's doctor, go get the ship's doctor!"
Seeing Yoshiichirō in pain, Garp became a little nervous and shouted hurriedly.
Until this moment, Tsugikoku Yoriichi seemed to have recovered and said, "No need."
"It will be fine in a moment, Vice Admiral Garp."
Tsugakuin's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, and Garp frowned, a little unconvinced. Soon, the ship's doctor arrived and, at Garp's strong request, examined Tsugakuin. However, after a brief examination, the doctor shook his head at Garp.
Seeing this, Garp's eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief: "What?! There's no hope?!"
As Garp's exclamation sounded, the other navy officers around him were all stunned, and Aokiji looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi in astonishment.
Seeing Garp and the others like this, the military doctor hurriedly explained: "No, no. Brother Yunyi is very healthy. I don't see any problems."
“.”
"Asshole! If you don't know, then you don't know. Why are you shaking your head?"
Garp cursed, pushed the military doctor away, squatted beside Yuichiro, and looked carefully at Yuichiro's face. Garp noticed that Yuichiro's expression had calmed down a lot, as if the pain in his body had dissipated.
During the moment that Garp squatted down, Yoriichi was able to slowly stand up by holding the railing.
"Yuichiro, what's wrong with you?" Garp asked with some confusion as he saw Yuichiro's face turn red.
"Uh, I'm fine, Vice Admiral Garp."
"It's just training."
Garp was even more confused after hearing this. Cultivation? Could cultivation cause any problems? And it wasn't just an external injury. Just now, after seeing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's appearance, Garp really didn't know what kind of cultivation could cause internal injuries?!
"Vice-Admiral Garp, it's really nothing."
"Look, I'm fine." As Yuanyi spoke, he stretched out his arms and looked relaxed. He really didn't look like he was sick.
Garp was worried, so he asked the military doctor to check on Yoriichi again. Only then did he feel relieved and returned to the cabin. He had just been discussing with others the possible next moves of the Roger Pirates.
Just a week ago, news came that Roger and the Big Mom Pirates had come into contact, but the two pirate groups seemed to have some friction. After a fierce battle, Roger's pirate group disappeared.
Garp would not think that Roger's pirate group was completely wiped out. He guessed that Roger had probably gotten what he wanted and started moving towards his next goal. What he discussed with other naval commanders was Roger's possible next destination.
Seeing that Yunyi was fine, Garp did not stay on the deck for long. He returned to the cabin and continued the meeting.
After Garp and the others left, Ji Guoyuan looked at the sea, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself:
"Finally. Success!"
"However, this is still in its early stages, so we need to proceed step by step."
During the return voyage, in addition to training the coverage of Haki, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also mastered the techniques of Haki flow.
In addition to training, Ji Guoyuan had some ideas about improving his breathing method.
That is to combine domineering power and breathing techniques!
It can strengthen muscle strength, increase the body's defensive power, and also strengthen breathing techniques to further exercise the body!
After trying for several days, Tsugumi Yoshikazu finally succeeded.
Breathing of the Sun - Form One - Round Dance!
Suddenly, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi drew out a long sword from his waist. As he breathed, Yoshiichi's heart made a muffled "boom" sound. The next second, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi slashed with the sword. A domineering slash of four or five meters long shot out into the air and hit the sea.
In an instant, a knife mark extending nearly a hundred meters appeared on the sea surface. Five or six seconds later, the knife mark disappeared on the sea surface with the backflow of sea water.
After making a slash, Tsugikoku Yoriichi snorted lightly, covered his chest and squatted down again, but at this time, Yoriichi's face was full of joy and excitement after success.
"Success! I succeeded!"
"Haki can be perfectly integrated into the breathing method to further enhance my physical functions."
"Although even a brief attempt now feels a bit overwhelming, this side effect will soon disappear as your practice deepens."
"If I can constantly concentrate this breath that embodies my domineering power, my strength will surely experience a qualitative leap!"
If Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had simply used his domineering amplification to split the sea like the slash just now, the sword light would probably only be able to extend for dozens of meters. However, after using his current breathing method, the power of the slash has doubled.
It could now create a slash of nearly a hundred meters, and the depth of the sea was also much deeper, because the time for the seawater to flow back was two or three seconds longer than before. It was precisely because of this that Yunyi was convinced that his experiment was successful!
Over the next few days, Tsugumi Yoshiichi would occasionally experiment with new breathing techniques, hoping to help his body adapt quickly. The breath techniques imbued with domineering power were very taxing on the body, but Yoshiichi, with his perceptive world, could clearly tell when his body was reaching a critical point.
Therefore, he practiced the new breathing method in a very restrained manner and it did not cause any harm to his body.
While practicing the new breathing method, Yunichi began to integrate Haki into the shaving. With the blessing of flowing Haki, Jigoku Yunichi's speed of shaving was much faster than before.
Now when practicing physical skills with Aokiji, if Aokiji does not use the ability of the fruit, he will be knocked away by Yoriichi at the first encounter. Now, in terms of physical skills, Aokiji has been left far behind by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Aokiji, realizing that Tsugakuni Yoriichi had made another terrifying improvement, now avoids Tsugakuni Yoriichi, fearing that Yoriichi would call him to practice physical skills. And when Yoriichi caught him several times, Aokiji also hurriedly excused himself.
Unable to find a sparring partner, Yunyi went to Garp, who would take time out to give Yunyi some pointers when he was not busy. But he would not know until they fought, as Garp knew why Aokiji was avoiding Yunyi.
Garp discovered that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had suddenly become much stronger. His terrifying movement speed, his increasingly powerful slashing power, and his increasingly powerful armament domineering all made Garp secretly shocked.
With the current strength of Yuichiro Tsugakuni, looking at the entire navy, there are only a handful of strong men who can be said to be able to suppress Yuichiro Tsugakuni.
If we ignore the ability of the fruit and only talk about physical skills, I'm afraid only Garp and his two old friends can suppress Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
"Hehehe, Zefa."
"I really know more about training the navy than you do."
"Just wait, when you see this kid, you'll probably be shocked!"
Garp's warship stopped and moved, clearing out the pirates along the way, and finally returned to the headquarters of the navy, Marineford, a month later.
Three months of sailing had left all the sailors exhausted. Even Tsugikuni Yoriichi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw land, and his mood brightened.
When they first went out to sea, Yunyi was extremely excited, but after staying at sea for so long, Yunyi couldn't help feeling tired.
Leaning his head out, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Marlinford in front of him, Yunyi couldn't help but sigh softly: "The Navy Headquarters is really unfamiliar to me. I've spent much more time at sea than here."
At this time, a large group of people gathered at the naval port dock. These people were the families of the marines who came to pick up the ship after hearing the news that Garp was returning.
These sailors on the Cap ship, in addition to their identity as sailors, are also sons to their parents, husbands to their women, and fathers to their children.
Behind every crew member is a family.
The marines on the ship had already packed their things. Before the warship docked, these marines who missed their families leaned their heads towards the dock, hoping to see their families.
Cap understood the crew's feelings. After arriving on the deck, he asked the lieutenants to take care of the wounded, and then ordered the crew to disband on the spot. At the same time, he gave the Marines a vacation of half a month.
The moment the warship docked at the headquarters naval port, the sailors on board could no longer contain their joy and couldn't help cheering.
The ladder was lowered, and some anxious marines hurried down the warship carrying their clothes, found their families in the crowd, and quickly left the naval port surrounded by their families.
After him, the sailors on Cap's ship disembarked one after another and reunited with their families. For a while, the dock was filled with laughter and joy.
Ji Guoyuan stood on the boat, his hands on the railing, looking at the reunion scene on the dock, with a gentle smile on his face, but this smile did not last long, and he felt a little lost.
It's wonderful that the Marines can be reunited with their families, but unfortunately, he has no one waiting for him.
Yoriichi withdrew his gaze, sighed lightly, and retreated back to the deck. Just as he was about to ask Garp where he was going next, Yoriichi noticed someone coming up the wooden ladder.
Not going down, but coming up.
Turning my head, I happened to see a middle-aged man wearing a cloak of justice slowly walking onto the warship.
As soon as the man stepped onto the deck, he looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, grinned, and said:
"Hey! Yunyi, I'm here to take you home."
"Why are you still dawdling on the boat?!"
"You're so slow in packing up! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiguo Yuanyi looked at the man who boarded the warship at this time, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would come here. When Yuanyi heard the word "go home", he was a little dazed for a while.
He didn't know how long it had been since he heard someone say this word to him.
After a long silence, Yunyi's face showed a bright smile. He looked at the person who came and nodded in response:
"Okay, Mr. Zefa, I'll be right there."
Brothers, after laying the groundwork for the naval network in a few chapters, we will begin our real voyage. We will never need to use the same sword a second time against the same enemy!
