Yoriichi didn't stay long at the Marine Headquarters. Although he originally wanted to see Whitebeard off in person, the Marine Headquarters did not want Yoriichi Tsugikuni to get too involved in this matter.
Whitebeard was captured by Yoriichi's New Navy. In this matter, in order to maximize the impact of Whitebeard's execution and let the headquarters gain the reputation bonus brought by this incident, Sengoku must weaken the presence of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the New Navy as much as possible.
Sengoku has already planned to execute Whitebeard through live broadcast to publicize the power of the navy.
In this case, if Tsugakuni Yoshiichi appeared in the live broadcast, then everything the Navy Headquarters could do would probably become a hindrance to others.
In fact, with just a little thought, Yunyi could understand Zhan Guo's thoughts and plans.
He was willing to cooperate with such things, because after he and his new navy captured Whitebeard, their reputation in the minds of the people had already risen to a certain level. Even if Zhan Guo wanted to ignore the influence of the new navy, he could do these things.
However, there is no way to hide what Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the New Navy did. No matter what Sengoku does, in the minds of the people, the person who captured Whitebeard could not be changed from Yoriichi to someone in the Marine Headquarters.
Since his own interests will not be affected, Yunyi certainly cannot say that he opposes what Sengoku will do next.
And more importantly, Whitebeard's execution is epoch-making for this world.
If the death of Pirate King Roger ignited the ambitions of the people and opened the so-called Great Pirate Era.
Then the demise of Whitebeard will make this turbulent sea calm down a little.
For ordinary people, it is a great thing.
Against this backdrop, Yoriichi Tsugikuni stayed at the Naval Headquarters for less than three days before leading his subordinates on the Dawn to leave Marineford and head to the Sabaody Archipelago. At the same time, Yoriichi also informed Mihawk and others to change the rendezvous location.
The warship docked, and the people who were busy at the port noticed the unfamiliar golden phoenix flag on the warship. They stopped what they were doing involuntarily and looked towards the warship that was dropping anchor.
As a team of new navy soldiers in unfamiliar uniforms disembarked from the warship, people at the port looked at them with surprise and excitement on their faces.
"The new navy, that's Tsugikuni Yoriichi's new navy!!"
Some people recognized the identities of these unfamiliar sailors and couldn't help but let out low cries.
The existence of the new navy is already famous throughout the world.
In the eyes of the World Government, these people are thugs who dared to rebel against the Celestial Dragons. But for ordinary people, the New Navy is a legitimate organization that captures pirates and protects ordinary people.
"The Sabaody Archipelago, this place is still as prosperous as ever!"
"While we wait for Mihawk and the others to reunite, let's stay on this island for now."
"Everyone, listen up. On the warship, those on duty are on shifts. Those without missions can move freely on the island. This is considered a vacation."
"But there is one thing I must remind you of. Pay attention to military law."
"I think you know what to do and what not to do."
"I don't want to attack my own men."
Arriving at the coast, Yoriichi's observation Haki had already covered the entire Sabaody Archipelago. It was a little different from the previous times he came to the Sabaody Archipelago. There was no slave trade business on the Sabaody Archipelago now.
Yoriichi's observation Haki can feel the emotions in people's hearts, but he did not sense that deep fear and helplessness.
Perhaps the human traffickers on the island heard about the new navy's route of action and evacuated the island early; perhaps it was because the Navy Headquarters or the World Government was afraid that Yoriichi Tsugakuko would cause another big fuss, so they cleaned up the filth on the island before Yoriichi Tsugakuko arrived, preventing Yoriichi from taking advantage of the situation.
Nowadays, in order not to anger Yoriichirō's "fragile" nerves, the Celestial Dragons are trying their best to restrain their actions and avoid direct conflict with Yoriichirō Tsugikuni.
The Celestial Dragons are not iron-headed people. In front of the butcher's knife, they will also feel afraid and will learn their lesson.
Even without industries related to the slave trade, the prosperity of the Chagos Archipelago has not diminished at all.
This is the final destination of the first half of the Grand Line, and every year, countless adventurers and pirates, filled with dreams and ambitions, arrive here. Before entering the New World, pirates and adventurers will rest briefly on this island, preparing to enter the New World in top form and take on new challenges.
The large influx of foreign population naturally also boosted the development of local industries in the Chagos Archipelago.
The island's geographical location close to the naval headquarters also makes the security environment quite good.
In previous years, the Celestial Dragons would often walk down from the Red Earth Continent and spend their time on the prosperous archipelago below their feet. In order to ensure the safety of the Celestial Dragons, not only were the admirals of the navy stationed at the naval headquarters all year round, but there were also several standing ships in the port of Marineford.
Once there is a problem with the Celestial Dragons, the Navy Admirals will immediately go to Shabaodi.
It is precisely because of this "sword" hanging over the pirates' heads at all times that Shampoo has such a peaceful environment and can vigorously develop its economy.
Yoichiro Tsugakuni has rarely had his own life in recent years, and this time is a rare opportunity. Yoichiro did not stay on the boat. He sent away those subordinates who wanted to stay with him to "protect himself". Yoichiro Tsugakuni took off his military uniform, put on a loose training suit, and strolled around the Sabaody Archipelago.
In private, Yunyi was obviously more cheerful, with his hands tucked into his big sleeves, wandering aimlessly on the street.
The area he was in happened to be the amusement area of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Bubbles floated gently from the cracks in the grass, creating a colorful halo under the sunlight. The streets were bustling with people, and children sat in the distinctive bubble cars, led by adults, their laughter echoing from time to time.
Occasionally, schools of flying fish motorcycles would fly across the sky, but most people were so used to seeing that that they didn't even bother to look up.
There was a crowd of people surging under the giant Ferris wheel in the distance. When Yuan looked up, he was reminded of long-forgotten memories.
On both sides of the road, vendors were shouting their wares with all their might. The special snacks on the stalls gave off an enticing aroma, attracting many greedy little kids who pestered their parents to buy them food.
Yuanyi stopped where he was, looking at the Ferris wheel slowly turning in the distance, with the hustle and bustle of the city echoing in his ears. He was a little dazed for a moment.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Yunyi suddenly felt something hit his calf. He slowly turned his head back and found a little girl of six or seven years old sitting on the grass with her head covered. In the girl's other hand, there was an empty small cracker tube.
As if she had recovered, the girl looked up at the "wall" she had accidentally bumped into, and was stunned.
There was a blob of pink ice cream on Yunyi's trouser leg. The girl looked at the ice cream on Yunyi's trouser leg in a daze, then looked down at the empty ice cream cone in her hand. She stood up aggrievedly, tears in her eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Sir, I'm sorry!"
The little girl had good upbringing, but children are children after all. She couldn't bear the grievance in her heart and burst into tears just after she finished speaking.
"Ai Ai En!"
"How did you get there?"
"How could you be so careless? And you bumped into someone?!"
Not far away, a young couple who were snuggling together and buying food heard their daughter crying. When they saw this scene, they immediately ran over.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
"We didn't take good care of the child and caused you trouble."
"sorry."
The girl's father was less than 30 years old, of medium build, handsome, and with a very eye-catching blue hair.
After coming to Yuanyi, he knew what had happened at just a glance. He quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms, apologized, and squatted down to help Yuanyi wipe the cream off his trouser legs.
The man's wife squatted down, gently held her daughter in her arms, and whispered comfortingly: "Ain, are you okay?"
"I told you not to run around, but you still did, and you were so careless."
"Look, you're causing trouble for others."
"Stop crying and apologize to this uncle quickly."
"I'll buy you some ice cream later."
With her mother's comfort, the little girl quickly quieted down, tilted her head back, and looked at Yuichiro Tsugikoku with bright eyes.
"I'll do it myself."
"It's my fault too. I was a little distracted."
Yunyi slowly bent down, but did not completely reject the man's kindness. He took the handkerchief from the other's hand, wiped it casually, and handed it back to the other.
The man still felt a little guilty when he saw how roughly Yuanyi wiped him. He bent down and wanted to help, but Yuanyi gently held his arm and refused.
Until this moment, the man had time to take a closer look at Jiguo Yuanyi. Seeing Jiguo Yuanyi's slightly familiar face, the man's breath stagnated: "You... you are..."
He hadn't noticed him from a distance just now, but now that he was close, the breeze blew through Yunyi's red hair, revealing the red streaks on his forehead and face. The moment he saw Yunyi's face clearly, the man immediately recognized him.
Looking at the man's face full of astonishment, Yunyi waved his hand casually, slowly squatted down, and gently touched the girl's little head.
"I'm so sorry, little girl."
"Well, go buy a new one."
Yunyi looked at the little girl with a blue bob in front of him, took out a coin and placed it in the child's palm.
Looking at the coins in her hand, the little girl was obviously a little surprised. She didn't quite understand why this handsome uncle would give her money, but because of her family education, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, Yunyi had already stood up, reached out and gently patted the man's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't take it to heart."
He didn't stay here for long, turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
"My husband, that person is..."
The young woman took her daughter's hand and came to her husband's side. She looked at the back of Yuichiro Tsugakuin as he left. She was stunned for a long time. She pulled her husband's sleeve and spoke uncertainly.
"There's no mistake, it's Yoriichi Tsugikuni of the New Navy!"
"Although headquarters has informed us all that Tsugumi Yoshiichi will be staying in the Sabaody Archipelago."
"But I didn't expect to meet him in a place like this."
"and"
"He's a little different from what was rumored."
The man nodded slightly and said in a serious tone.
The father of the little girl Ain is not a civilian. He is a colonel in the Navy Headquarters and is currently on vacation.
“Wow—”
The waves gently hit the beach, and after leaving the amusement park, Jiguo Yuanyi slowly walked along the coastline.
After a while, a small bar near the coast appeared in Tsugumi Yoshiichi's sight.
"Xia Qi's rip-off bar!"
Following the powerful aura he sensed, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi arrived at the bar on the coast. Pausing at the entrance and glancing up at the bar's sign, Yoshiichi pushed open the denim door and walked inside.
“Dang—”
The welcoming bell rang in the empty bar.
Yuichiro stood at the door of the bar and looked inside, and found that there were only two people in this small pub.
Behind the bar, a beautiful black-haired woman was wiping a wine glass with a cigarette between her lips. On a seat near the bar, a sturdy, silver-haired "old man" was sitting, chatting with the beautiful owner behind the bar while enjoying a drink.
The welcoming bell rang, and the two people in the bar looked towards the door at the same time.
The sunlight streamed into the room, and the two men only saw a tall figure.
"I didn't expect that there are other customers in your shabby bar?"
Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and spoke jokingly to Xia Qi, the proprietress behind the bar.
"Big shot!"
Yunyi slowly walked into the bar. When Rayleigh and Xia Qi saw the newcomer, their pupils shrank slightly.
After a moment of astonishment, Rayleigh's face returned to its previous comfortable and lazy expression, and he spoke with a smile.
Xia Qi also took a deep puff of her cigarette and said with a smile, "Although I should be happy that there are customers coming to my bar, I don't know why I can't be happy."
"Hey young man, what would you like to drink?"
Xia Qi recognized Yuichiro Tsugikoku, but pretended not to know and greeted him.
Yunyi's eyes swept over Rayleigh and Shaki, a look of "as expected" in his eyes. He then walked over to the bar and sat down next to Rayleigh.
"Shirley, my teacher likes to drink that, let's try it."
Yunyi gently leaned the long sword at his waist against the wall of the bar and spoke to Xia Qi.
A glass was placed in front of Yunyi. Xia Qi put in some ice and poured in the wine, explaining, "This wine is strong. If you're drinking it for the first time, it won't be as strong as this."
"This is your first time here, is it for business? Or is it a personal matter?"
Xia Qi asked with a smile, and after hearing this, Rayleigh stopped the wine glass that was about to reach his lips.
"Waiting for friends and traveling at the same time."
After Yunyi finished speaking, Rayleigh slowly took a sip of wine and a smile appeared on his face:
"A big shot like you still has time to travel?"
Yunyi smiled at Rayleigh's slightly sarcastic question and said, "A big shot like you has the leisure to drink, so of course I have some time too."
"Whitebeard is going to be executed at the end of the month, so I have to be free, right?"
Yuanyi raised his wine glass, took a sip, and frowned slightly. He didn't like the taste very much, it was not as good as tea.
"Whitebeard..."
"That old man is still restless even at his old age."
"How many people will be affected by starting a war like this?!"
"How many people, both pirates and navy, will die on the battlefield?"
Rayleigh sighed and drank his wine in a depressed mood.
“The Age of Exploration has influenced many people.”
"We're just trying to figure out how to end this era."
"I will stay on the island until Whitebeard dies."
Yunyi didn't like sherry and didn't drink it anymore.
Rayleigh listened to Yunyi's words in silence.
