"Wano Country?!"
As for the Wano Country mentioned by Rayleigh at this time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni had actually already had the idea of going there to find out what it was like.
The reason is very simple, because the source of the historical text circulating in this world today is the secret text passed down from generation to generation by the Kozuki clan in Wano Country.
It can be said that the characters used in the historical text recorded on the stone tablet were created by the Kozuki clan.
To be honest, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi has never been able to understand: if the purpose of recording historical texts is to allow these words and the truth of the world to be passed on to future generations, then why use this kind of text that is difficult for others to understand?
This allows the world government to influence people's correct understanding of history.
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to disseminate historical truths using the texts that are now widely circulated on the mainland?
And more importantly, due to the special material used to write the historical text, even the powerful world government cannot destroy that material or erase the words recorded on the stone tablet.
Since we already have such ability, it doesn’t matter if we just write down the historical truth, right?
Could it be that during the 800 years of the world government's rule, a cultural gap has appeared between ancient civilization and modern civilization, making it impossible for modern people to decipher the ancient texts?
However, this argument doesn't make sense either, because the characters that are widely circulated in Wano Country are the characters that the general public uses today. Wano Country has always been isolated from the outside world, and the influence of the World Government has never reached Wano Country.
It can also be seen from the development of Wano Country that the characters used by the vast majority of people today are of the same origin as the ancient characters.
There are too many secrets buried in Joyboy. If you want to find a way to kill Im, you may have to look for the answer in history.
The direction pointed out by Rayleigh may bring unexpected gains to Yoshikazu Tsugikuni.
"Wano Country, I'll go there if I have the chance."
"After Whitebeard's death, his crew gathered together, and after several years of development, they are now active on the sea again."
"The new navy is also under tremendous pressure. If I have the chance to go there, I can solve all the problems at once."
Tsugumi Yuichiro's tone was calm, but Rayleigh and Xia Qi could smell a strong smell of blood from Tsugumi Yuichiro's words.
What does it mean to "solve all the problems at once"?
Would Whitebeard's sons surrender to the new navy so easily? That was an impossible thing to do.
So what methods can Tsugikoku Yoshiichi use to solve all these troubles?
There seems to be only one way to do it.
When he thought of this, Rayleigh felt a little anxious in his heart, and said with forced calmness:
"If you really want to find out what the World Government is hiding, Wano Country is very important to you."
"Especially the Kozuki clan that controls Wano Country. Some of their secrets are passed down from generation to generation, and others don't know them at all."
"If you go too far, those secrets might remain buried forever."
"Although I don't know why you suddenly mentioned Im, but since you can't completely destroy the World Government, I think there must be some difficulties that you can't solve."
"Those ancient families who are well-versed in history might be able to help you in some way."
For someone like Yoriichi Tsugikuni, coercion and bribery are meaningless, and Rayleigh is naturally well aware of this. The citizens of Wano Country have nothing to do with him, but now, the leader who leads Whitebeard's sons is Kozuki Oden, with whom he has a very good relationship.
He didn't want to watch his former partner die at the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, let alone Yoriichi Tsugakuni would notice that Wano Country was also influenced by him.
Of course, he couldn't just sit back and watch Kozuki Oden die because of him.
"Don't worry, I will never take my anger out on others again."
Xia Qi added more wine to Jiguo Yuanyi. After Yuanyi finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all again.
"Again?!" Reilly also keenly noticed a key word in Ji Guoyuan's words. Seeing Ji Guoyuan drinking after saying this, he glanced at the other person a few times and fell silent.
Yoshiichi Tsugikuni has already obtained the "things" he wanted from Rayleigh. The purpose of his coming to the Sabaody Archipelago is to find out his next direction. While collecting intelligence, this island is also the easiest place to wait for Oliva to come and meet up.
Unlike Yoriichi, Oliva needs to pass through Fishman Island if he wants to cross the Red Earth Continent. Although he is traveling alone, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is very confident in Oliva.
During the time when the two of them went out to sea together, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi also noticed that Oliva actually had very rich sailing experience, and more importantly, although this guy looked honest, he was very delicate and cunning in his heart.
With his cunning and ability, it is not difficult for him to survive in this ocean.
This time, Oliva was asked to act alone in order to further train his abilities.
If Oliva has no way to come to the Sabaody Archipelago, it only means that this guy's ability is limited to that extent, and Tsugikuni Yoshiichi will not bring him with him again.
From the day he decided to go to sea, Oliva needed to be responsible for his own life.
Jiguo Yuanyi stayed for a while on the Sabaody Archipelago. Xia Qi not only had a tavern open to the public, but also could provide accommodation for drinkers.
It is not convenient for Yoriichi to walk around freely on this island. The security in the Sabaody Archipelago has become increasingly strict during this period, which may be affected by the holy land.
Xia Qi's bar is a relatively quiet place.
It must be that the senior navy officials knew the details of this bar. The martial law on the island did not affect the operation of the bar, nor did it affect the lives of Xia Qi and Rayleigh.
More than 10 days later, the time limit agreed upon by Tsugukuni Yoshiichi and Oliva was approaching. Just when Yoshiichi was about to abandon Oliva and leave first tomorrow, Oliva, dressed like a wealthy businessman, suddenly pushed open the door of the tavern and came into the bar.
At this time, Yuichiro Tsugikoshi was sitting by the window of the bar, reading a newspaper to pass the time. When he sensed Oliva's arrival, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Tilting their heads slightly, their eyes met.
"Sir, I'm here!"
When Oliva saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni again, his tone became very excited.
During this period, his experience was nothing short of wonderful. After parting with Tsugumi Yoshiichi, Oliva headed towards Fishman Island with the help of the permanent record pointer in his hand, but he was also very clear that it was impossible for his small boat to reach Fishman Island.
To achieve his goal, he pretended to be an ordinary shipwrecked man, hoping to get help from passing merchant ships. He didn't expect those merchant ships to take him to Fishman Island, he just wanted to go to a place with more developed transportation so that he could have a chance to find a ship to Fishman Island.
However, the development of the matter was beyond his expectation. The ship that came to help him was not a merchant ship, but a pirate ship.
The pirates took him on board as a coolie. Oliva did not resist as long as his life was not threatened. On the night he was taken on board, he assassinated several officers on the ship and became the captain of the pirate ship by overthrowing his superiors.
Things became very convenient after that. He lowered the pirate flag, pretended to board a ship and went to Readhilled Island. With the wealth accumulated by the pirates on the ship, he recruited a coating craftsman, and then went to Fishman Island, and then went to Shampoo Land.
Although the pirate minions on the pirate ship are full of banditry, only the captain is wanted by the new navy. He is not a super pirate with a huge bounty, so he is not taken seriously at all.
The new captain, Ekbal Oliva, is also a white man.
This pirate ship also successfully passed various inspections along the way and arrived at the Sabaody Islands smoothly.
In the bar, Oliva briefly told Yoshikazu Tsugakuni about his experiences during this period, and also told him about what he saw and heard on Fishman Island.
In recent years, Fishman Island has developed very rapidly. As an important hub connecting the front and back halves of the Grand Line, Fishman Island has also found its own position. Although it has completely turned to the New Navy, it still maintains harmony with the World Government on the surface.
Moreover, the World Government is very tolerant of the Fish-Man Island ten thousand meters below the sea. Even though the Celestial Dragons know that these fish-men are colluding with the New Navy, they have no way to deal with them.
Thanks to the policies of both the New Navy and the World Government, Fishman Island has developed into an important commercial hub, and the living conditions of the people on the island are becoming better and better and more prosperous.
Today, Fishman Island has not only built a number of unique tourism industrial parks, but the number of humans settling on the island has also increased.
This change was unimaginable to others in the early years.
Of course, only the citizens under the control of the new naval forces can be granted permanent residency on Fishman Island.
Although it was only a small step forward, this method also accelerated the integration of Fish-Man Island and humans.
This kind of commercial development not only has benefits for Fishman Island, but also has some disadvantages.
After the "death" of Kuniyoshige, the old nobles represented by the Celestial Dragons revived, and the slave trade became popular again in the first half of the Grand Line. The Navy Headquarters also turned a blind eye to these trades, and their practices were exactly the same as before, without any changes.
In just a few years, the slave trade had developed into a new industrial chain.
The mermaids on Fishman Island are hot-selling items in the slave market. Although the new navy represented by Jinbe has been guarding Fishman Island strictly and investigating passing ships, there are always criminals who can find some loopholes and transport the kidnapped slaves away.
There were more than a dozen missing persons cases every year, and it had become a well-known fact on Fishman Island. Even Oliva, who hadn't been on Fishman Island for very long, was able to find out about it.
“There has been no effective solution to this problem.”
"This world really is like a makeshift team. No matter how hard people like us try, we are always powerless."
"When I was there, the new navy never completely stopped this kind of thing from happening."
"I didn't expect that even the new navy under the leadership of Mr. Zephyr couldn't completely put an end to such things."
Hearing this news made Ji Guoyuan feel very sad.
As long as there is a market for things like the slave trade and as long as there are huge profits, many people will take the risk.
No matter how tough the new navy's suppression is, there will always be a lot of people who are not afraid of death.
Rayleigh was also drinking with Yunyi and the others. After hearing the news, his face was unusually calm.
Raleigh had seen countless things like this. During the period when the slave trade was restored, he would sell himself from time to time to make some money.
He knew it couldn't be stopped.
"Sir, it's not that the new navy isn't doing a good enough job."
"No matter how the new navy on Fishman Island closes the sluice gates, there's nothing they can do about the constant flooding from upstream."
“It’s going to overflow eventually.”
"Only by closing the upstream sluice gates can this situation be reversed."
"Effort pays off, sir!"
Oliva, who was very thoughtful, seemed to sense some of the depression in Tsugumi Yuichi's heart, and immediately smiled and comforted him, cheering him up.
In fact, Yunyi did not completely lose confidence, he just complained after hearing the news.
However, Oliva's comfort also made Tsugikuni Yoriichi feel much better.
"Yeah, hard work pays off!"
"You should have a good rest tonight and explore the island for a few days. We will go out to sea in three days."
"I plan to go to the Kingdom of Alabasta to see for myself the effects of the ancient weapon bombardment."
"Assess the power of ancient weapons."
Originally, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was not interested in ancient weapons, but since his first body was destroyed by the attack of ancient weapons, he also became interested in ancient weapons.
If necessary, he will take control of the sea king
"yes!"
Oliva was very happy. Although he was no longer a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, he was full of curiosity about the prosperous Chabao Archipelago as it was his first time to visit the island. It was his dream to have a good time on the island for a few days.
A few days later.
Oliva used Rayleigh to send his pirate minions to the navy stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago.
He and Jiguo Yuanyi boarded a small boat and hurriedly left the Sabaody Archipelago under the cover of night.
A naval patrol boat in the nearby waters spotted them as they left, but to their great surprise, their advanced warships couldn't even catch up with the small boat that could only accommodate two people.
That night, the officer in charge of the patrol submitted a report on what happened, but the lieutenant colonel in charge of all patrol ships did not submit the report because he was afraid of being punished by his superiors.
The former site of the Arabat Kingdom.
The originally vast land has long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only a circle of shallow sand surrounding the island.
The former ruins of the Alabasta Kingdom, which was deserted in the early years, now show signs of human life.
On the beach, a girl in a short skirt with a wicker basket on her waist was picking up shells.
Nefertvivi should have been a princess living a life of luxury, but now she has become a fisherman's girl who goes to the sea to collect shells.
