Chapter 365: Ways to Invade the World! (Two in One)
In fact, Tsugikuni Yoriichi didn't know much about the "big guys" in the New World. His new navy's intelligence network now only covered the first half of the New World, and the intelligence he had was actually quite limited.
At most, he had only heard of the leaders of these major forces in the New World.
As for why he was able to recognize the birdman Morgans, it was thanks to the memories deep in his mind. The moment he saw the other person's appearance, the memories buried deep in Ji Guoyuan's heart emerged.
Behind Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, Ferrand was wearing a shirt full of holes and holding a notebook in his hand. After taking a look at the ships on the distant sea through a monocular, he immediately began to sketch with a pencil.
There was no way. The shortage of supplies in the new navy was not only reflected in the arms. Not only were their weapons a generation behind those of the navy at the headquarters, but even things like cameras were only "ordinary models". There was no way to clearly take a picture of the enemy's appearance at such a long distance, and they could only rely on hand-drawing.
Ji Guoyuan lay on the guardrail, observing the ships sailing on the distant sea. He compared the people and ships he saw with his existing intelligence one by one, and secretly memorized the appearance of those underground leaders in his mind.
After a long time, the number of ships in Ji Guoyuan's telescope gradually decreased. Ji Guoyuan looked for a long time, then put down the telescope, stretched, and waved to Ferland behind him.
The latter understood and handed the notebook in his hand to Yuichiro Tsugikuni.
"Morgans who control 'media hegemony'."
"The 'warmongering' Grand Duke Casse."
"And what is this 'all-knowing' thing?"
“All the names are so fancy.”
Ji Guoyuan flipped through the notebook and muttered to himself.
Seeing a hint of worry on Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's face, Ferland smiled and asked, "Captain."
"Where do we start?"
"I think we can capture Grand Duke Casse first. He's a well-known arms dealer in the New World. I heard he even has his own specialized weapons manufacturing and research and development factories."
"The guns and supplies for the New World pirates basically all come from him."
Listening to Ferrand's suggestion, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi nodded first, then shook his head: "Firearms are indeed very important to us, but in the end, they are just flintlock rifles."
"That kind of thing has very limited impact on improving our combat effectiveness."
"I plan to get that birdman first. He is actually the most important to us."
“The avenues for getting information to the general public are so limited.”
"Morganse's newspaper is very important to us!"
With Ferrand's knowledge, he had no way of appreciating the power of media hegemony. For the new navy of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, it was very important to have its own publicity and promotion channel.
"Morgance?!"
"What use are those people who write fake news to us?"
Ferrand asked somewhat puzzledly. He had a rather bad impression of Morganse.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You'll know later. Let's find a way to sneak in first."
"We still need to keep this a secret. If others learn of our intentions, complications will inevitably arise."
Although Ferrand did not know the importance of Morgance to the new navy, he was quite convinced of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. When he heard what Tsugakuin Yoshiichi said, he subconsciously straightened his body and was about to salute, but he saw Tsugakuin Yoshiichi waved his hand to signal him.
Seeing this scene, Ferland put down his hand awkwardly and laughed:
"I'm really sorry, it was a subconscious move."
"But, Chief, how are we going to sneak into Wan Guo?"
"The sea ahead is full of sea slugs. The sonar they emit can easily identify incoming ships."
"Even if we can invade from the air, the target is too big. It is very likely that it will turn into a direct war with the Big Mom Pirates."
"Although we are not afraid of them despite our strength, this goes against our plan, doesn't it?"
In response to Ferrand's question, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi revealed a faint smile and chuckled:
"Didn't the method of infiltration come to you on its own?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pirate ship suddenly shook violently. The side of the ship where Jiguo Yuanyi was standing seemed to have hit something and suddenly tilted. Mihawk, sitting on the deck next to Jiguo Yuanyi's feet, gently flicked the brim of his hat on his forehead, his eyes emitting a sharp murderous intent.
"what happened!?"
The sudden shaking of the pirate ship caused the new sailors on board to cry out in surprise, not knowing what had happened. Ferland's observation Haki had reached a certain level, and he looked at the empty sea beside the ship.
At this time, the sea surface around the pirate ship was very strange. The shaking of the pirate ship caused ripples on the sea surface, but in Ferland's sight, there were no ripples at all on the sea to the right of their ship.
"What is that?!"
When Ferrand saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly and he realized that something was wrong.
"Hehehehe."
"A strange pirate flag, and all of them are unfamiliar faces!"
"I don't remember Mama having a group of pirates like you under her command."
"Who are you, approaching the Ten Thousand Nations? What are you planning to do?!"
At this moment, a giant blue ship more than ten meters high slowly appeared in the sea in front of the pirate ship where Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and his friends were.
The big ship was tightly attached to the hull of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's ship. The reason why their pirate ship was shaking violently just now was actually the result of being hit by the giant pirate ship in front of them.
A sinister laugh came into the sight of Ji Guoyuan and the others, and they all looked up.
On the side railing of the visible pirate ship, stood a skinny young man in a flowery suit. In his hand, he held a huge brush with a hard tip. It looked like a sharp object, probably a weapon.
“Who is it?!”
Ferrand looked at the blue ship that suddenly appeared in front of him and the young man standing on the guardrail, and growled slightly in anger.
While the other party's attention was attracted by Ferland, Ji Guoyuanyi took out a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses from his trouser pocket, covered his eyes, and through the sunglasses, he carefully looked at the other party's boat and the young man in the flowery suit.
“Hehehehe!!”
"I'm the captain of the Rainbow Pirates under Big Mom! Howl—"
"It's the graffiti man who ate the graffiti fruit!"
"You guys, who appear here for no apparent reason, must have bad intentions."
"I'm going to take you to Lord Perospero, the Minister of Sweets, and let him deal with you!"
The young man in the flowered suit chuckled and leaped onto the deck behind Tsugakugo Yuichi and the others. As he landed, the crew of the Rainbow Pirates gathered at the side of the ship, looking down at their invading captain and cheering.
"Come on, Captain! Take them all out in one go!"
"Captain, you better hurry up! If you're late, MAMA will be angry!"
"Roar, roar, tatar ...
Howl's crew members showed no intention of helping, but instead started to make a fuss while staying on their own boat.
Ji Guoyuan turned around, glanced at Howl who was getting on the boat, and whispered to Ferrand: "Ferland, we need him alive. This guy is useful."
In the center of the deck, listening to the cheers of the crew, Howl had a smile on his face. Before he could even look at them, his attention was immediately attracted by the words of Yoshikazu Tsugikuni.
The smile on his face suddenly collapsed:
"I'm a pirate with a bounty of 88 million!"
"A small, unknown pirate group actually boasts like this?!"
"Ugh, I changed my mind."
"I don't intend to let Lord Perospero waste his time dealing with you. Let's get rid of you bastards right here!"
When saying this, Howl also glanced sideways at the pirate flag logo on the sail and confirmed that it was a pirate flag he had never seen before. He felt more confident when he said this.
"You talk a lot of nonsense, you really have the temperament of a pirate!"
Ferland curled his lips slightly, drew out the long knife from his waist, and rushed towards Howl in a flash.
shave!
Ferland was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, he was right in front of Howl. He swung the long sword in his hand quickly and chopped towards Howl's left arm.
"Very pirate-like?!"
"Woo~"
“Very discerning!”
As he spoke, Howar raised the brush in his hand and blocked it directly to his side.
"clang--"
As a golden sound rang out on the deck, a strong wind howled for a moment.
"The strength is actually quite good?!"
After blocking Ferland's attack, Howl raised his eyelids, gave a slightly surprised compliment, and then exerted force with both hands to directly block Ferland's long sword. At the same time, Howl turned his body quickly, twisted the sword in his hand around his waist, and stabbed the sharp tip of the sword straight at Ferland's fierce bullet.
Howl's brush movement resembled a spear, a counterattack. Facing Howl's attack, Ferrand braced himself with his left hand and did a backflip. As he did so, he kicked the brush, deflecting the opponent's attack. The moment he landed, Ferrand leaned forward and, with a push of his foot, charged directly at Howl.
Ferland was very fast, and Howl was holding the end of the pen with one hand. He had no time to defend himself. As Ferland came in front of him, he was hit on the jaw by the handle of the knife.
“Bang!!”
There was a muffled sound, and Howl's body tilted, with a strong feeling of dizziness in his head. Ferland, who had succeeded in his attack, did not hesitate at all, and then hit Howl's lower abdomen with a knee. The violent impact made Howl subconsciously bend his body, and he was knocked away by Ferland.
After flying several meters in the air, Howl's back hit the railing on the bow of the ship and then slid onto the deck.
Ferrand had no intention of stopping. He leaned over and rushed towards Howl, who was slumped on the deck.
Ferland, who had fought at sea for many years, had already developed a good habit, that is, to knock people unconscious when caught and to kill people when beaten!
“Damn it!”
"You bastard"
“You made me angry!!”
Howl raised his head and roared at Ferland who was rushing towards him, with blood foam flying from the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, the brush in Howl's hand "licked" his body, and the next second, Howl's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
“Crack!!!!”
Ferland's figure landed rapidly, and he hit the deck with a flying knee. For a moment, wood chips flew all over the deck. Feeling the touch of the collision on the deck, Ferland slowly stood up with a frown.
Gone.
At this time, there was no trace of Howl on the deck.
Ferrand looked around but couldn't find any trace of the other party.
"The esper, the graffiti man of the Graffiti Fruit?"
"It seems to be of no use."
Yoshikazu Tsugakuin leaned against the railing, watching the battle quietly. Seeing that Howl was nowhere to be seen, Yoshikazu Tsugakuin shook his head slightly and commented.
The other party used the ability of the fruit to blend into the surrounding environment, but in the eyes of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Howl had nowhere to hide.
His ability is, at best, a human version of the mimic octopus. In essence, it is even worse than the invisibility fruit.
Because the invisibility fruit can truly make one's body invisible and transparent, and can even erase one's own breath to a certain extent, but the graffiti fruit does not have such ability at all.
However, the Graffiti Fruit still has its advantages, that is, this ability can be applied to other objects.
"It's useless to you, but it's not so easy to deal with Ferland!"
Beside Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Mihawk raised his head slightly, muttered to himself, and then lowered his head again with a lack of interest. He had no interest in this level of battle at all.
In the center of the deck, Ferland, who was looking around for the enemy, also realized that the other party must have used the ability of the devil fruit. His observation Haki spread out for several meters, and he carefully observed the things around him.
Although he did not directly capture the opponent's trace, Ferland felt the whistling wind behind him at this moment. He quickly bent his body and then rolled forward several times.
Ferland supported himself with one hand and was about to stand up when he felt a strong wind coming towards him. He quickly turned his body to the side and rolled away from the spot.
"Bang——"
And just the next second after he left his original position, a slight sound was heard, and the deck where Ferrand was previously standing seemed to be attacked by some sharp object, and a big hole was torn out.
Howl's "invisible" attack did cause a lot of trouble to Ferland. After dodging it several times, Ferland was unable to find a way to break the deadlock for a while. Relying on his observation Haki, he could only dodge the opponent's attack, which was already his limit.
It is indeed difficult to fight back.
Jiguo Yuanyi watched for a few minutes and saw that Ferland was in danger of being killed by Howl's attack. He was about to intervene to stop the fight, but suddenly he stopped and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Ferland, we're here to help you!"
“Block it!!”
Two consecutive shouts were heard from the cabin. Ferland, who was once again attacked by Howl's "invisibility", was about to dodge when he heard his companions' shouts. He immediately crossed his chest with a long sword.
"clang!!"
A crisp sound was heard, and Howl, who was attacking Ferland, was slightly stunned, not understanding why the other party suddenly stopped dodging.
When he turned around and looked towards the cabin door where the sound came from, he saw several "ragged" new sailors holding wooden buckets and pouring the water in the buckets directly on his body.
"Um?!"
"This is... sea water!!!"
The amount of seawater splashed on Howl was actually not too much, and the slight feeling of weakness coming from his body also made Howl realize what the other party had done.
The power attached to his body had disappeared, and his figure was exposed to Ferrand's sight again.
"Don't"
At this moment, Howl suddenly realized something. He turned around hurriedly and only had time to let out a low cry, when he saw Ferland's figure flash by and already appeared in front of him.
"It's not enough to just rely on your abilities!"
"Ability user!"
Ferrand let out a loud roar, leaped in front of Howl, and kicked Howl hard in the cheek, knocking Howl out.
"call out--"
With a sound of breaking through the air, Howl flew several meters in an instant, and his body directly hit the outer wall of the cabin beside Yixiao. Then he collapsed and fell on the deck without consciousness.
"captain?!"
"Captain Howl!!"
Seeing that Howl was knocked unconscious by Ferland, the crew members of the Rainbow Pirates all let out a low cry. The furious pirates wanted to take back their captain, so they drew their sharp blades and flew down to the deck of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's ship.
As the pirates landed on the deck one after another, Yixiao, who was sitting on the bench "reading" the newspaper, closed the newspaper in his hand, slowly stood up, and sighed:
"It's truly an admirable friendship—"
It was hard not to admire the joke, but he did it without any hesitation.
In an instant, the terrifying gravity was exerted on the crew members of the Rainbow Pirates. They had no time to react when they fell on the deck. The moment the gravity hit them, they fell directly on the deck and could not even lift their heads.
“This ability is.”
"You guys. You guys"
Among the pirates, someone seemed to have recognized Yixiao's ability, and the originally slightly crazy faces became a little surprised. At this time, someone finally noticed Mihawk sitting by the fence, and saw the black knife on Mihawk's leg, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Ah, we are the guys you have in mind."
"Be good and obey, and I'll let you live."
"If you don't obey, you'll be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly walked to the side of a middle-aged pirate, slowly squatted down, and pushed the sunglasses on his nose, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
The middle-aged pirate, who was quite knowledgeable, turned his head to look at Tsugakuni Yoriichi. When he saw the red markings on the corner of Yoriichi's pirate hat, his pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing stagnated, and he nodded hurriedly:
"good!"
"Okay! No matter what you ask us to do, we will cooperate!"
"As long as you don't kill us, you can let us do anything!"
