Chapter 57: Extremes lead to another extreme!
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's long sword was pressed against Kane's neck, and this made all the other Marines around him dare not act rashly.
The Marines all looked at Yuichiro Tsugakuni with shock on their faces. Although the guns in their hands were all pointed at Yuichiro Tsugakuni at this moment, they did not dare to put their index fingers on the triggers for fear of accidental discharge.
Colonel Kane felt the coldness on his neck, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his tiger eyes were full of shock and anger. He did not expect that Jigoku Yoshiichi would dare to attack him, and his speed would be so fast. In the first encounter, the opponent's knife was already on his neck.
"Private, Tsugikoku Yoriichi, what do you want to do?!"
"Are you going to kill me, a naval captain?!"
Kane tried hard to suppress his anger and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"I've already told you that I've received orders from Chief Instructor Zefa to arrest all officers above the rank of lieutenant in Branch 133."
"Colonel Kane, you just need to cooperate with my actions. Don't worry about your life."
"Chief Instructor Zefa has sent a trusted subordinate to investigate certain matters within Branch 133."
"A naval officer as upright as Captain Kane will be fine."
Yunyi raised his head slightly and looked at Colonel Kane, who was much taller than him, and said.
"Little ghost, did you make a mistake?"
"Chief Instructor Zefa has stopped interfering in other matters of the Navy a few years ago and has focused on teaching at the headquarters."
"It's impossible for him to give such an order. Even if he did, it would be useless!"
"Also! Do you think you've subdued me?!"
As he spoke, Kane's body suddenly changed drastically.
His originally bronze skin became unusually white at this moment, and his face actually began to transform into a beast. His originally high nose bridge turned into a long elephant trunk in an instant, and even two long fangs grew above his mouth.
His already burly body became even larger at this moment. The thick elephant skin, like a weathered white rock slab, wrapped Kane like armor at this moment.
"I'm the user of the Elephant-Elephant Fruit, kid. Do you think you'll win just by holding a knife to my neck?!"
Kane's eyes flashed with a fierce light after completing his transformation. His long trunk, like a whip, smashed directly towards where Tsugakugo Yuichi was. The moment the trunk smashed down, a whistling sound erupted in the air.
“Boom!!!!”
The elephant's trunk fell and hit the deck directly. Under Kane's attack, a large hole with a diameter of more than two meters appeared on the deck.
After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Kane looked at the empty deck in front of him, his pupils shrinking slightly.
"I don't want to kill anyone, so please cooperate, okay?"
At this moment, the voice of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni suddenly sounded in Kane's ears. Kane quickly turned his head and saw a fist shadow coming in front of him.
“Boom!!!!”
A muffled sound.
Kane had already suffered a heavy blow to the abdomen.
Even though he had used the power of the Elephant-Elephant Fruit and his defense had greatly increased, at this moment, Kane, who had suffered a heavy blow, still opened his mouth slightly and spit out a mouthful of digestive fluid. He flew backwards and slammed hard into the wall of the cabin in the distance, creating a huge hole.
Kane's figure suddenly disappeared from the sight of the Marines. The astonished Marines looked at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, only to see that Yoshiichi had a calm expression on his face. He lowered his head and looked at his fist, whispering:
"I put in a lot of effort, so I shouldn't be able to kill him."
"I'm having trouble controlling the force. I hope he doesn't die."
"The resistance of people in the pirate world cannot be predicted by common sense. Even in my transparent world, I can't tell what kind of attack they can withstand."
“Crash!”
Just as Ji Guoyuan was talking to himself, Kane, who had turned into a half-beast, bent down and stepped onto the deck. He held the wall with one hand and staggered out of the big hole. Kane's huge body rubbed against the upper edge of the hole, bringing down some wood chips.
Kane, who had walked out of the cabin, raised his head and looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi with a serious expression. His eyes were full of ferocity and he roared:
"Little devil!!!!"
Yuanyi looked at Kane who was roaring with a calm expression.
"It's too light, I can still stand up."
The next second, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi disappeared from the spot. Kane seemed to have noticed something and threw a punch straight ahead. At the same time, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly appeared in front of Kane.
Facing Kane's attack, Ji Guoyuan did not dodge or evade. His armed color domineering instantly covered his entire right arm, and then he directly hit Kane's fist.
The moment the two fists collided, Kane realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Crack!" A crisp sound of breaking bones was heard, and Kane's right finger bones broke. Kane, in pain, quickly retracted his fist, lowered his head and looked at his right hand that had been deformed by the beating. The rage in his eyes dissipated a lot in an instant.
What a huge gap in strength!
It was not until now that Kane finally realized what kind of humanoid monster he was facing.
"Bang!" However, at this moment, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's figure disappeared from Kane's sight again.
Ji Guoyuanyi used the shaving technique and the moon step to directly flash to Kane's head, grabbed Kane's head with one hand, and pressed it hard onto the deck.
“Bang!!!”
Kane was simply unable to withstand the immense force. With a loud bang from the deck, a basin-sized hole was left on the floor in front of the cabin. Kane, who had previously tensed his muscles, relaxed at this moment.
The power of the devil fruit also quickly faded, and he returned to his human form.
Ji Guoyuan lifted up Kane, who had rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm sorry, it's all your fault for not knowing what's good for you."
Casually throwing the unconscious Kane aside, Ji Guoyuan glanced at the other marines on the deck and said loudly:
"All officers above the rank of lieutenant, step out."
"As for the others, tie their hands and feet. After returning to the ship, lock them up in the branch's cells and wait for the arrival of the headquarters' investigators."
After hearing what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said, the Marines on the deck looked at each other and did nothing.
When Yuanyi saw this scene, he frowned slightly, his face sullen, and said in a cold voice: "Do you want me to do it?"
When the Marines heard this, although they still had doubts about what Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had said before, at this time, they did not dare to disobey Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's orders.
There was no way. Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's strength was too terrifying. If Tsugakuni Yoshiichi really had other ideas about the navy, with his strength, he could easily kill everyone on the ship.
Furthermore, they were only arresting officers above the rank of lieutenant, so for the majority of Marines, this wouldn't have any impact. As for what to do after apprehending these officers? That was an easy fix. As long as Tsugikuni Yoriichi didn't take action against these lower-ranking Marines, and returned to base to report the situation, that would be enough.
At that time, it will be possible to tell at once whether what Jiguo Yuanyi said is true or false.
If it is true, then cooperate with Tsugikuni Yoriichi, control all officers above the rank of lieutenant, and wait for the investigators from headquarters.
If it is fake, the Navy Headquarters can't just sit back and watch the branch's situation, right?
Some Marines who figured out the situation took action. After saying "sorry" to their superiors, they turned around and pointed their guns at some lieutenants in the team.
"You...you actually dare to betray the navy?!"
"Don't do it! Don't listen to that guy, he's lying to you."
"Damn it! Don't come near me. If you come any closer, I'll..."
Obviously, the lieutenants could not sit idly by and wait for death. Seeing that internal conflict was about to break out, Jigoku Yoshiichi had to take direct action to control some of the lieutenants who were resisting most fiercely.
After subduing the lieutenant on the deck, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi found the highest-ranking sergeants in the team and asked them to use Den Den Mushi to contact the Navy Headquarters to confirm what he had just said.
After doing all this, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not stay on the main ship, but directly used the Moon Step to go to other warships to "control" all officers above the rank of lieutenant.
All the other Marines did not dare to express any opinions. For those who had opinions, Yunyi did not allow them to move freely and sent them directly to prison.
After doing all this, Jiguo Yuanyi gathered all the controlled officers and soldiers in the prison of the main ship, called back Cyrus, and ordered to return.
Ji Guoyuan suddenly transformed himself and became the top leader of the 133rd Navy Branch. His vigorous and decisive style of doing things has nothing in common with his teacher Zefa.
