Sakaski was sent to the Dawn warship, and Yixiao arranged a ship doctor for him. Although he had been soaking in the sea for a long time, a strong man with Sakaski's physical fitness level would not die underwater for a while.
Although his consciousness fell into a coma, his breathing gradually became regular and his life was not in danger.
Akainu's capture did not affect Kuzan's actions. After Akainu's navy and Aokiji reunited, the navy headquarters continued to attack several islands outside Wano Country according to the established plan.
Kuzan's methods were gentle, and although the speed of the Navy Headquarters' attack was greatly slowed down, during the attack process, the Wan Guo side was unable to organize an effective resistance force.
The pirate groups stationed on the periphery are basically the most marginal subordinates of the BIG MOM Pirate Group. Not only do they have a low status, but their combat effectiveness is also not strong.
The closer you get to Cake Island, the more pirates there are and the stronger they are.
That night, Kuzan did not take any rash actions. After controlling the six islands around Wan Guo as planned, he ordered his troops to rest and regroup. He also sent out patrol ships to inspect the waters around the controlled area.
After fighting all night, even the elites of the headquarters need some time to rest. In order to be safe, Kuzan also plans to rely on the six captured islands to resist the next counterattack of the BIG MOM Pirates, while waiting for Kizaru to lead reinforcements to support him.
On Liquor Island.
The headquarters' navy completely controlled several ports on the island. At the same time, the navy also completely blocked the nearby waters. Except for the headquarters' warships, no "civilian" ships were allowed to launch.
Anyone who disobeyed the order would be sunk without asking the reason. The arrival of the navy caused panic among the people under the rule of the Big Mom Pirates.
Many people living in Wan Guo are "refugees" who fled from their original countries because they could not bear the oppression of Tian Shang Jin. In the eyes of the "officials", this identity is no different from that of slaves.
The people's peaceful lives were disrupted, and panic was inevitable, even though the navy under Aokiji did not do anything to the people on the island after taking control of the island.
At the harbor, more than a dozen large warships blocked all ports on Likojiu Island.
Bright sunshine shines from the sky.
Kuzan, who had slept for only a few hours, dressed neatly and came to the deck early to examine his subordinates who were busy.
The navy began to deploy coastal defense artillery at the port and set up camps near the port. They began to prepare for a long-term battle with the BIG MOM Pirates.
It will take about ten days for Kizaru's reserve troops to reach Wanguo, and Kuzan and his men need to gain a foothold during this time.
Kuzan walked out of the cabin and paced to the bow. He glanced at the camp that had already taken shape on the shore, and a hint of worry appeared between his brows.
The subordinates worked in shifts, and the fortifications were built very quickly. By the time the nations successfully gathered their forces to attack, the navy should have been able to complete the fortifications, relying on the geographical advantage and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.
What Kuzan was worried about was not the BIG MOM Pirates, but Akainu's safety.
Throughout the entire night, the patrol team sent out did not report any news about Admiral Akainu and the New Navy.
The lack of information in this area made Kuzan a little anxious. He didn't sleep well last night.
Although he and Akainu have different ideas, as both are admirals of the Marine Headquarters, there is more or less some friendship between them.
The new navy
Kuzan also has a close relationship with Yixiao and others.
The battle between the two parties, regardless of the outcome, was not what Kuzan wanted to see.
And the current situation makes him even more worried.
He was afraid that the strong men of the New Navy would be defeated and killed together with Akainu after the battle.
When he thought about what might happen, Kuzan's brows became even more worried, and he had no mind to appreciate the morning scenery.
After looking at the port for a long time, Kuzan couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"You're sighing so early in the morning! This is not a good sign!"
"A day's plan begins in the morning. If you sigh early in the morning, nothing good will happen to you the rest of the day!"
At this moment, there were some footsteps behind Kuzan. The slender figure of Vice Admiral He walked out of the cabin, slowly walked to Kuzan's side, looked at the scene above the port, and said with a smile.
"You're up really early, Vice Admiral Tsuru."
"I didn't expect someone like you to be superstitious."
Kuzan heard the voice and tilted his head slightly. After seeing the person coming, he forced himself to greet him. It was early in the morning, but He could see a hint of fatigue on Kuzan's face.
I understand it in my heart.
He smiled and shook his head slightly.
"What I'm saying is not superstition. It's the experience I've accumulated over the years!"
"Whatever happens, stay positive."
“If you fear difficulties, they will find you.”
"Look at your face, did you not sleep well last night?"
"Are the Big Mom Pirates putting too much pressure on you?"
Crane asked with a smile. However, after hearing Crane's words, Kuzan shook his head slightly and denied it: "No, no matter what reaction the Big Mom Pirates have next, I have the confidence to deal with it."
"I just"
Having said that, Kuzan paused and did not continue.
But with He's wisdom, how could he not know what Kuzan is worried about right now?
"If it's not because of the Big Mom Pirates, then it's because of the New Marines and Sakaski, right?"
"You and Yoriichi Tsugikuni were once partners in life and death. You once teamed up to fight against Shiki the Golden Lion, and he also helped you fight against the Beasts Pirates."
"The new navy was established by Ji Guoyuan, and he himself is not in Wanguo now. The person in charge of the new navy is his subordinate Yixiao."
"I once served as a lieutenant general under you."
"The attack on Sakaski was probably ordered by Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and carried out by the powerful men of the New Navy."
"Are you worried about the safety of Akainu and the New Navy?"
"When you have that level of strength, you can't just stop fighting in time."
"From this perspective, your concerns are not unnecessary."
He's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he saw through Kuzan's thoughts in an instant. When Kuzan heard this, the surprise on his face flashed away, and then he nodded silently.
"As expected of you, nothing can be hidden from you."
"I'm quite useless, aren't I? As a navy admiral, after my comrades were attacked, not only did I not rescue them, but I actually became concerned about the attacker's safety."
"I am a very incompetent admiral, right?"
In front of Crane, Kuzan took off his majestic mask of the admiral and opened his heart.
He's position in the navy is very special. She is a gentle, strong and intelligent female navy officer, and most young generals have been taken care of by her.
The same goes for Kuzan. In his mind, Crane's status is similar to that of Zefa.
"Is there still no news from Sakaski?"
"It seems that Sakaski was captured by the New Navy."
Glancing at Kuzan, He held his hands and suddenly spoke.
Hearing her words, Kuzan was a little stunned: "If you are caught, you can't be..."
Kuzan didn't say the words "die together". He didn't dare to think about such a thing.
Although Kuzan didn't finish his words, He understood what he meant. Looking at Kuzan, who immediately showed hope after being stunned, He shook his head and laughed:
"Of course it's impossible."
"You don't seem to have a clear understanding of the power of those people in the New Navy?"
"Yaxiao and Mihawk, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's right-hand men, are not simple characters."
"Although Sakaski is very strong, since Tsugikuni Yoriichi has ordered his subordinates to act, I think he must be fully confident."
"Sakaski can't win"
"Of course, you won't be killed."
"This is not in the interests of the new navy. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has been away from the navy for so many years and has never killed anyone in the navy."
Listening to Tsuru's analysis, Kuzan was actually a little confused. He didn't understand what Tsuru meant by "the interests of the new navy." And judging by Tsuru's words, she seemed to have already known what Tsugakuni Yoriichi's purpose was?
Kuzan asked in a serious tone, "The interests of the new navy."
"What is the purpose of the new navy?"
Hearing Kuzan's question, He glanced at him and asked, "What is the purpose of the new navy? Just look at what Tsugikuni Yoriichi is doing."
"What he is doing is what the new navy will do!"
Hearing He's words, Kuzan's face showed a look of sudden realization: "The target is the Five Elders!"
But soon, Kuzan became confused again: "Then why did he attack Sakaski?"
In response, He simply glanced at Kuzan with a calm expression, and suddenly muttered to himself irrelevantly:
"It seems that Tsugikuni Yoriichi has also planted people within our navy."
"And his status is not low."
With that, the crane turned and slowly left the bow, leaving Kuzan alone with his thoughts.
He didn't understand why Tsugikuni Yoriichi had people attack Sakaski, but he instantly understood what Tsuru said next.
The fact that the Five Elders would accompany the navy in attacking Bankoku was a secret kept secret within the navy headquarters. Even Akainu's own crew only learned that the Five Elders had boarded their ship after they approached Bankoku.
The fact that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's new navy was able to get the news in advance and enter Wan Guo to intercept the Five Elders is itself full of strangeness.
There is no doubt that there are people like Yoshikazu Tsugakuni in the headquarters of the Navy!
As for who
That scope is a bit broad. After all, during his years in the navy, Yoshikazu Tsugakuin has come into contact with many people, and most of them are high-ranking officials.
most likely
"Are Zefa-sensei and Yunyi still in private contact?"
The sunlight shines over the window sill and into the cabin.
Lying on the wooden bed, Sakaski, who had been dreaming all night, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling with a dull look.
Dreaming is really amazing.
People don't realize they are dreaming until the moment they wake up.
However, Sakaski's dream last night was too long, and he is still a little dazed until now.
“.”
After waking up, Sakaski still had to face the cruel reality. He sat up with great effort, and the quilt covering him fell off, revealing Sakaski's bare chest.
He subconsciously reached out to touch the rose tattooed on his chest, but a series of "ding-dong" sounds made Sakaski's face change slightly.
He thought that he felt weak because he had just woken up, but the reality was that he was wearing seastone handcuffs!
"here it is"
"Those guys from the Sword of Dawn?!"
Sakaski took a quick look at the furnishings in the cabin and saw a small flag of the New Navy on the desk. He immediately understood his situation.
There was no joy of surviving the disaster in his mind, but instead a deep anger filled his chest.
"A bunch of bastards!!!"
After an angry roar, the cabin fell silent. Sakaski had a gloomy face and said nothing.
There's nothing I can do but accept the status quo.
“Da da.”
Just then, there was a slight sound outside the cabin door.
After a while, the cabin door was pushed open. Yixiao pushed the door open, tapped the ground with the cane in his hand, and slowly walked into the room.
He tilted his head slightly to look in the direction of Sakaski and said with a smile:
"General Sakaski, hearing your energetic praise, I believe you have fully recovered."
He said with a smile, groped his way to the small desk in front of the bed, found a bench, and slowly sat down.
Looking at Yixiao, Sakaski snorted coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said coldly:
"What are you going to do?"
"Why did you rescue me?"
"If you're planning on threatening me with death, give up on that idea!"
"From the moment I joined the Navy, I was prepared for life and death."
Because of the influence of seastone, Sakaski did feel a strong sense of powerlessness in his body, but the determination and toughness in his words did not change because of the change in his situation.
Hearing Sakaski's decisive words, Yixiao shook his head slightly.
Then, under Sakaski's gaze, Yixiao took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and placed it on the table. Sakaski noticed that the receiver of the Den Den Mushi was separated from the base, and the Den Den Mushi was in a connected state.
"Don't worry, Sakaski."
"I won't threaten you with death. That's too low-brow."
"Capturing you and rescuing you is simply because our new navy needs to do so."
Yixiao didn't say anything, but a voice that sounded very familiar to Sakaski came from the receiver of the Den Den Mushi placed on the table.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi!!!"
Sakaski was no stranger to the owner of that voice and recognized him instantly.
"It's me."
Tsugakuni Yoriichi's voice came from the receiver. After receiving Tsugakuni Yoriichi's confirmation, Sakaski's pupils shrank slightly and he asked, "What are you going to do?!"
"I need a relatively complete Wan Guo."
"And your behavior did not meet my expectations."
"In order to prevent you from turning the islands of Wan Guo into ruins, we can only invite you to be our guest on board!"
"General Sakaski!"
In response to Sakaski's question, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had no intention of keeping the question in suspense and answered directly.
The war between the Navy Headquarters and the Nations has begun, and no one can stop it unless the winner is determined.
In fact, most of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's goal has been achieved.
It doesn't matter if we tell Sakaski. Even if we let him go now, the navy will know his purpose and will not stop attacking the nations.
"You want all nations?!"
When Sakaski heard what Tsugakuni Yoshiichi said, his expression immediately froze, and he immediately understood Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's plan. He also understood why the New Navy attacked him at that time.
After understanding the other party's purpose, Sakaski suddenly sneered and said with disdain:
"Are you planning on becoming a pirate?!"
"By hanging out with that trash, you're really going backwards."
"Now that you've left the Navy, are you still thinking about that crap all day long?!"
The people of Bankoku are collectively called trash and pirates by Akainu.
"Garbage?"
"Hmm"
"I was planning to let you go if the navy was not doing well or after the war was over."
"But now, I've changed my mind."
"It seems that Mr. Zephyr didn't teach you what the duties of a navy are."
"As your disciple, I will teach you."
Sakaski's face turned pale when he heard Tsugikuni Yoriichi deny his value as a navy officer. However, before he could even question him, Tsugikuni Yoriichi said a few words and hung up the phone:
"I smiled and left him on the boat until I got back."
