Chapter 237: A Word of Advice: Planting the Seeds of Doubt! (Two in One)
When dealing with Celestial Dragons like Muse Garrudo, Yoriichi Tsugakuni did not hide his murderous intent at all.
After sighing, Tsugikuni Yoriichi moved his gaze away from Muse Garrud, and then slowly walked in front of Cyrus, leaned down slightly, and whispered in Cyrus' ear:
“So many people are watching.”
"What does it look like to kneel on the ground?"
"What justice looks like is something that is to be painted by the hands of people like us."
"Get up, we still have a long way to go."
Patting Cyrus's shoulder gently, Tsugikoku Yoriichi walked past Cyrus, whose "heart of Taoism was broken", and walked towards Muse Garrud.
Seeing Yoriichi Tsugakuni approaching, Muse Garrud trembled even more violently. Although Yoriichi Tsugakuni did not exude a ferocious aura like the fishman just now, in Muse Garrud's eyes, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who was walking towards him with an expressionless face, was far more terrifying than the fishman who wanted to kill him just now.
It is a fear that comes from human instinct.
Muse Garrud's body trembled even more violently. As Tsugakuni Yoshiichi approached, Muse Garrud subconsciously shrank behind Princess Otohime.
Princess Otohime, who was born with the ability of Observation Haki, also noticed the approach of Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Although Yoriichi Tsugakuni did not show any emotion on his face, Princess Otohime, with her keen sixth sense, also sensed the murderous intent surging in Yoriichi Tsugakuni's chest. She opened her arms and blocked Muse Garrud behind her.
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, what are you going to do?"
"You're a marine!"
Princess Otohime frowned slightly and shouted at Tsugikoku Yoriichi. At the same time, King Neptune and the Royal Army squeezed out of the crowd and saw Princess Otohime, who was protecting Musgard behind her and vaguely confronting Tsugikoku Yoriichi.
He immediately shouted to Jiguo Yuanyi, "Please stop, Lieutenant General Jiguo!"
Although King Neptune didn't know what was happening for a moment, he immediately chose to stand by his wife and support her.
"Princess Otohime, you misunderstood. What can I do?"
"It's just that we want to bring the 'world nobles' and 'noble Celestial Dragons' under the protection of our navy."
Under the gaze of everyone, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi smiled gently. Hearing this, Princess Otohime also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Princess Otohime's Observation Haki is very strong, and her speed is far superior to that of ordinary fishmen, and she can even dodge bullets head-on. However, Princess Otohime is a self-aware person. If the world-renowned Yoriichi Tsugikuni ignores her and attacks the Celestial Dragons directly, she will be helpless.
This encounter also allowed Princess Otohime to see the "horror" of this group of navy.
The vice admiral of the navy, who was full of murderous intentions towards the Celestial Dragons, actually dared to swing his sword and chop the Celestial Dragons' navy subordinates in front of so many people.
A group of navy officers like Tsugakuni Yoshiichi really refreshed Princess Otohime's preconceived impression of the navy.
She didn't believe a word of what Ji Guoyuan said about bringing the Celestial Dragons under the protection of the navy.
However, Princess Otohime really misunderstood Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
With the appearance of Princess Otohime, it has become impossible to kill Muse Garrud. Princess Otohime will never allow such a thing to happen on Fishman Island.
From Tsugakuni Yoriichi's perspective, it is not wise to clash with Fishman Island for the sake of a Celestial Dragon. The overall strength of Fishman Island is very weak, but Tsugakuni Yoriichi has never underestimated Fishman Island.
Whether it is the Princess Otohime in front of us or the future Princess Shirahoshi, Fishman Island definitely occupies a large area on the stage of world history.
The truth of history is still shrouded in mystery, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni firmly believes that Fishman Island is an indispensable force for his future.
Killing Muse Garrudo is just a matter of moving his hands, but because of this incident, Fishman Island will suffer retaliation from the World Government, which is not worth the loss.
It is impossible for Yunyi to stay here for a long time. If Muse Garrud dies here, things will become very troublesome.
Of course, if Cyrus had just killed the man with a knife, this matter would have been easier to handle.
Just report the truth directly to the Navy Headquarters, and then Kuniyoshi will use his power in the Navy to help Cyrus cover up.
In such a vast place like the New World, Tsugumi Yoriichi is still able to hide someone.
"Tianlong people, we in Ryugu City will protect him. Afterwards, I will send someone to send him back to the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, don't you still have military affairs to attend to?"
"To support your navy building, I will promote the navy recruitment campaign among the Kingdom Guard."
"If anyone is willing, we in Dragon Palace City will fully support them."
Princess Otohime clearly knew what Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's purpose was in coming to Fishman Island. Although she was a saint, she was no fool. After sensing Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's murderous intentions, she immediately proposed a "trade condition".
Princess Otohime believed that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was an upright navy officer, and she also believed that he was the kind of general who cared for his subordinates. However, precisely because of this, she was even more worried about letting Yoshiichi Tsugakuni take the Celestial Dragons away.
This is good for Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, at least that's what Princess Otohime thinks.
Of course, there is another main purpose. Princess Otohime hopes that the Celestial Dragon she rescued can become a bridge between Fish-man Island and the human world.
In fact, after being rescued by Princess Otohime and having escaped death, Musegard was truly grateful to her. After clearly sensing Tsugakuni Yoriichi's terrifying murderous intent, Musegard was also extremely panicked.
After hearing that Yoriichi Tsugikuni actually wanted to "take him under protection", Muse Garrud felt even more frightened. If she hadn't been so scared that she couldn't speak, she would probably have been yelling "Yamedie" at the top of her lungs at this moment.
"Well, Princess Otohime, you really are overthinking it."
"Protecting the Celestial Dragons is our navy's duty."
"But since you've said that, I'd appreciate your help in recruiting soldiers."
"Of course, the Celestial Dragons' ship was shipwrecked and crashed on Fishman Island. As a marine, I can't just turn a blind eye to it."
"Your Ryugu City also wants to escort the Celestial Dragons, and our navy also wants to escort the Celestial Dragons. This is a bit difficult."
"How about asking for the opinion of Saint Muse Garrud?"
Tsugakuni Yoriichi smiled warmly and looked at Muse Garrud. From where Tsugakuni Yoriichi was looking, Muse Garrud's body was shaking like a sieve. She actually reached out and tightly grasped Princess Otohime's arm, her eyes filled with pleading.
Muse Garrud tried hard to control his emotions and said tremblingly, "I... I asked the people of Dragon Palace City to protect me."
Passionate, kind, and full of love, in the eyes of Muse Garrud, Princess Otohime who guards him is truly an angel!
And that cold-faced and sinister navy man really deserves to die for actually being disrespectful to him, a Celestial Dragon!
And the marine just now deserved to die, for he actually dared to swing his sword at him!
Muse Garrud's emotions finally calmed down a little. He cursed these navy men in his heart and transferred all his hatred for the fishmen to the navy men including Jiguo Yuanyi.
He swore that if he returned to the Holy Land, he would make these navy pay the price!
What is in your heart will be revealed in your eyes.
Although Muse Garrud still looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with fear, Yoriichi saw full of hatred in the other's eyes.
Ji Guoyuan didn't care about this at all.
In the future, will the Five Elders, who will not dare to offend even pirates like the Four Emperors, really do anything to their own world-famous navy just for the hatred of a captive pig?
In other words, would the Five Elders be naive enough to think that Ji Guoyuan would be a piece of meat on the chopping board?
It's different!
This world has changed a long time ago!
"Since Saint Muse Garud wants Dragon Palace City to escort him, I will not interfere in this matter after reporting it to headquarters."
"Princess Otohime, please take care of the recruitment."
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi bowed slightly politely to Princess Otohime, then turned around, waved to Cyrus and other navy officers, and prepared to lead the team away.
Until this moment, the people of Fishman Island who were watching the show around still didn't understand what was happening and their faces were full of confusion.
When Muse Garrud saw that Jigoku Yoshiichi and others were about to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. The look she gave Jigoku Yoshiichi's back became presumptuous, and she did not hide the hatred in her heart at all.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to mention."
Suddenly, Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi, who was about to take his people away, stopped. The next second, Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Muse Garrud felt his throat tighten as he was stunned.
"!!" Princess Otohime widened her eyes slightly, and slowly turned her head as if she sensed something.
At some point, Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who had disappeared from her sight, had already arrived behind her. He had already grabbed Muse Garud Saint's neck with one hand and lifted him up from the ground.
“Hehe.”
Muse Garrud's face was full of pain, and she was breathing heavily in her throat. She grabbed Tsugikuni Yoriichi's sleeves with both hands and struggled weakly.
"There is something I feel I must remind you of, Muse Garud Saint."
"We are the navy! We are not anyone's dogs."
"On the contrary, you are just a breeding pig kept in the Holy Land. After eight hundred years, the Holy Land is still only this small, and there are still only this many Celestial Dragons. Do you know why?"
"If you don't understand this, you're going to die."
Tsugikoku Yoriichi brought Muse Garrud to him and whispered in her ear. After that, Tsugikoku Yoriichi smiled meaningfully, threw Muse Garrud to the ground, and turned to leave.
Under the shadow of death, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's words were deeply engraved in Muse Garrud's mind.
With the departure of Tsugakuni Yoriichi and others, Princess Otohime immediately called the guards to escort Muse Garrud back to Ryugu Castle. She also invited the best doctor on the island to treat Muse Garrud.
At the same time, Ryugu City also sent many people to clean up the wreckage of the luxury cruise ship and explore whether there were any survivors.
But unfortunately, the "child of destiny" may be only Muse Garrud. There are no other survivors on the entire cruise ship except Muse Garrud.
Muse Garrud received the best care in Dragon Palace City. After a few days of rest, Muse Garrud finally walked out of the shadow of death.
Recalling what happened a few days ago, and thinking about the care that Princess Otohime and Ryugugu had given him, Muse Garrud was filled with gratitude towards Fishman Island and Princess Otohime.
Muse Garrud is a bad person, but not rotten to the core. After experiencing such a big change, his temperament began to change.
At the same time, what Tsugumi Yoshiichi had said to him before became clearer and clearer.
yes
After 800 years, why is the holy land still so small?
You have to know that during the nearly 300-year-long Ming Dynasty, the royal family numbered millions. However, how many people were there in total among the descendants of 19 kings in the 800-year-long world aristocracy?
So the question is, where are the people?!
Once such a question arose in Muse Garrud's mind, there was no way to dispel it.
In the room, Muse Garrud stood at the windowsill, looking at the beautiful scenery of Dragon Palace City, and fell into deep thought.
Ever since the incident of the Celestial Dragons entering the island that day, Princess Otohime has kept her promise and has been "guaranteeing" Tsugakuni Yoriichi among the guards on Fish-man Island, promoting the navy's recruitment efforts.
After knowing the whole story, Tiger was also excited to find his former brothers and told them about the navy's attitude towards the fishmen and the world's nobles.
However, Tiger's propaganda seemed to have the opposite effect. When his younger brothers heard that someone in this group of navy dared to attack the Celestial Dragons, they immediately ran away.
Only a few people developed a strong interest in the navy after learning the whole story.
Among them is a whale shark-man named Jinbe, and a weasel-fish-merman named Aladdin.
Jinbe is a soldier in the Kingdom Army, while Aladdin is a mermaid from the back streets.
Of course, Tsugikuni Yoriichi also learned the news, and he was of course aware of Jinbe, the future Shichibukai.
However, when meeting the new recruits, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi just looked at Jinbe a few more times, and then incorporated him into Tiger's army.
It's called a troop, but in fact, it's just less than a person.
After staying on Fishman Island for almost another week, Yomiuri saw that he could not recruit any new soldiers, so he went to Ryugu Castle to bid farewell to Princess Otohime and King Neptune.
A week after Kuni Yoshiichi's Dawn warship left Fishman Island, Ryugu Castle arranged a ship to send Muse Garrudo away from Fishman Island.
During this time, Muse Garrud recuperated on Fish-Man Island and established a fairly deep friendship with Neptune and Princess Otohime. Before leaving, he promised King Neptune and Princess Otohime that he would contribute his own efforts to the Fish-Man Island immigration at sea.
However, Muse Garrud himself probably didn't know how much say a Celestial Dragon of his level had in this matter.
He probably himself could not have imagined that in the future he would be sentenced to death by the Knights of God just for letting some slaves escape.
Obviously, he is from the Celestial Dragon
On the contrary, it was Tiger, who also liberated the slaves, and later established the Sun Pirates. After Tiger's death, the "remnants" headed by Jinbe became the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the protection of Borsalino's "ambiguous justice."
It can be seen that the identity of a Celestial Dragon is really useless when it comes to the critical moment.
Strength is the foundation of survival.
Even a navy like Yoriichi Tsugikuni knows much more about how deep the water in the Holy Land is than a Celestial Dragon like Muse Garrudo.
"Bang!!!!"
On the calm sea surface, a surge of current suddenly shot out, splashing dozens of meters high.
As the sea water receded, a slender warship appeared on the originally boundless sea.
Two naval flags were hanging on the bow of the warship, fluttering in the wind.
“Huh~~~~”
"Finally we've reached the surface of the sea."
"I still feel that this kind of sunshine is more intimate!"
On the deck of the warship, Cyrus cried out in joy, and looking at the sparkling sea, he felt the depressed emotions accumulated in his chest swept away.
"Cyrus, contact Vice Admiral Garp and Mr. Zephyr."
"We are ready to take action!"
"This time, we must bring some peace to this turbulent world!"
"Sail!!"
Jiguo Yuanyi walked to the side of the ship, held the railing with both hands, looked out at the sea, took a few deep breaths, and shouted to Cyrus with a bright smile on his face.
"oh!!!!"
Hearing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's voice, the sailors on the deck shouted loudly.
Since Fishman Island, the morale of the troops on the Dawn has become more stable.
Want to know why?
For the sake of justice in his heart, Cyrus, who dared to take action against the Celestial Dragons, is still Tsugakuni Yoriichi's trusted deputy. The navy, who already have justice in their hearts, of course, have strengthened their beliefs and closely surrounded Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
Everyone believes that Vice Admiral Yuichiro Tsugakuin is the future of the navy.
And this is the future that everyone is willing to follow and support.
