Chapter 254 My Captain! Wang Zhi! (Two in One)
February 1503 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Ever since the Pirate King Roger ushered in the so-called Great Pirate Era, the Navy has finally put the world back on the "right track" with its absolute military force.
People all over the world can clearly feel that the marine environment has improved a lot. Fishermen no longer have to be so nervous when going out to sea to fish, and merchant ships do not have to worry about pirates suddenly appearing to rob them when they are sailing according to official routes.
People living along the coast have not been attacked by pirates for some time, and the economy has begun to recover gradually.
Although small-scale crimes still occurred, overall, the rise of the Warring States had indeed changed things. At the same time, the Sabaody Archipelago became increasingly prosperous.
The foundation of economic development is peace and stability. When the situation in the four seas stabilizes, the Chabao Archipelago, which is located at the "end point" of the first half of the Grand Line, will also benefit.
"That guy Zhan Guo did a really good job."
"If all places could be like this, then the existence of the navy would truly benefit everyone."
A lone boat slowly approached the shore of the Chabao Archipelago. On board, a middle-aged man with long blond hair slowly stood up as the boat approached the shore.
The middle-aged man had a wrinkled black mustache and wore a pair of round-framed, narrow-rimmed glasses. He wore a floral shirt on his upper body and red slim-fit cropped pants on his lower body. He wore a white cowboy hat on his head and a pair of flip-flops on his feet.
Looking at his outfit, it's so gaudy and out of place.
The blond man, holding his cowboy hat with one hand, grabbed a small backpack from the side of the boat and lightly jumped onto the Sabaody Archipelago. The moment he landed, his observation Haki quickly swept across the island, and then, sighing, he walked towards the center.
On this day, Silvers Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, also known as Pluto, went to the prosperous island of Sabaody Archipelago incognito.
Since the death of Pirate King Roger, the crew members on his ship have gone their separate ways.
However, the people of the World Government have never given up searching for Roger's crew. For the World Government, the task of settling accounts with the Pirate King Roger has not yet been completely completed!
Over the years, Rayleigh has been traveling around the world in a small boat while avoiding the pursuit of the World Government.
By now, he had finally visited all the places he wanted to go. After that, Rayleigh came to the Sabaody Archipelago.
On the one hand, it is because Rayleigh is a person who loves to be lively and bustling, and on the other hand, the Sabaody Archipelago is the end point of the first half of the Grand Line. All the pirates in the four seas who want to obtain the "great treasure" will eventually gather here.
At the same time, the Sabaody Archipelago is close to the Naval Headquarters and the Holy Land of Marinjoa. This is the place with the most developed information in the world. No matter what happens in the New World or the Four Seas, the people of the Sabaody Archipelago will definitely be able to know it first.
Rayleigh just wanted to see with his own eyes whether a person like Roger would appear in his lifetime and truly obtain the great treasure!
It was too early when they arrived at Raftel. Rayleigh planned to wait in the Sabaody Archipelago for Raftel to truly open!
Rayleigh arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago silently. The people from the Navy and the World Government probably never thought that Rayleigh would come right under their noses.
The darkest place under the lamp is very useful no matter which world you are in.
And just when Rayleigh arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, the Dawn warship led by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni also officially arrived at Mysteria Island.
Strictly speaking, Mysteria Island should be called the Mysteria Islands.
Because there are three small islands around Mysteria Island, none of which are very large. The smallest one is only more than 10,000 square meters, while the largest one is more than 100,000 square meters.
The main island of the Mysterias Islands covers an area of 2,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of an ordinary prefecture-level city.
Although the island is very large, mountains and jungles occupy more than 90% of the island's area. There are more than a dozen towns on the island, with a permanent population of over one million.
There is no so-called kingdom or country on this island.
There is no so-called affiliation between towns, and the mayor is the largest authority on the island!
Since Mysteria Island is the first stop after Fishman Island and is also located in the New World, the people on the island are often robbed by pirates. Every household has no so-called "savings", and even the so-called mayors are generally respected old men.
My family is not much richer than others.
Due to long-term invasions by pirates, most people on the island do not live in towns, but instead live in the mountains. The lifestyle of the people on the island is also relatively primitive, relying on fishing, hunting and gathering for a living.
Of course, although the means of livelihood for most people are relatively backward, it does not mean that the living facilities on the island are backward.
After all, this island is bustling with people, some of whom are brave indigenous people or pirates who are tired of the seafaring life and have settled here and started some small businesses.
There are all kinds of entertainment facilities such as casinos and bars.
Of course, since there is no strong armed force on the island, any store that can be opened in the town is more or less tainted by corruption.
The navy led by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni chose a small coastal town on the north side of the island as the landing site.
A huge warship was docked at the dock. Although the sails had been retracted, Ji Guoyuan, who was standing on the deck of the Dawn warship, noticed the black sail at a glance.
In this world, generally speaking, only pirates use black sails.
After all, the skull has to be white, right? If the sails were also white, wouldn't it be invisible?
"Admiral, that ship parked on the shore must be a pirate ship. What should we do?"
Not only did Tsugikoku Yoshiichi discover this problem, but his crew members also discovered it.
The person who reported the situation to Tsugikuni Yuichiro was named Ferrand, a sergeant in his early twenties.
He is a "graduate" of the Sword of Dawn Naval Academy. With a yearning for justice and admiration for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the young Ferrand became a sergeant in just one year after joining the navy.
Among the subordinates that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi brought with him on this voyage, only forty or fifty were veterans, and the rest were new recruits.
This outstanding young man was also favored by Ji Guoyuan, who made him his messenger.
In name, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's adjutant is actually Mihawk, but
It's no problem for Mihawk to chop people, but asking him to run errands and be a mouthpiece for Tsugakuni Yoriichi? That's impossible.
Just as Sergeant Ferrand was asking Tsugekuni Yoshiichi, Tsugekuni Yoshiichi was walking to the right side of the ship, grabbing the railing with both hands, looking at the warship next to him.
While Ji Guoyuan was examining the warship, a young man on the opposite deck was also looking at him.
The moment the other party saw Yuichiro Tsugakuten, his pupils suddenly trembled. He seemed to recognize Yuichiro Tsugakuten, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Seeing the other party's expression, Ji Guoyuan said to Ferrand, "Ferland, pull the boat over and investigate the other party's identity to see if there are any wanted criminals."
As soon as Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, he jumped up and left the deck of the Dawn warship in an instant.
The moment Ji Guoyuan's figure disappeared, several blade beams suddenly flashed on the ropes used to fold up the sails of the opposite warship.
“Hua La La———”
After a loud bang, the sail that was originally raised fell down at this moment.
The young man who was watching Tsugikuni Yuichiro on the deck a second ago heard the noise and turned around to see that the sail of his ship had fallen.
On the deck not far from the young man, a red-haired young man wearing a navy cloak inexplicably appeared.
The black sail quickly opened up, and in the center of the sail was a bloody skull. The moment the sail fell, a strong smell of blood came directly to his face. The strong smell of blood made Ji Guoyuan frown involuntarily, and his expression immediately became cold.
“Swish——”
After a slight sound, the young man standing by the side of the ship stared blankly at Yuichiro Tsugikoro who was standing on the deck and slowly putting away his knife, with a confused look on his face.
The next second, the young man heard a whistling sound of wind. He turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw that the mast of his warship had been cut off at some point, and was now slowly tilting towards the stern.
"boom!!!!!"
The mast fell, and in an instant, wood chips flew everywhere. It was only then that the young man who stayed on the battleship realized something and screamed:
"The Navy! It's the Navy!"
"The Admiral is here!!!"
A scream pierced the sky, followed by the roar of the mast falling and heading towards the shore.
At the dock, the people who were still moving goods were startled when they saw the commotion, and they ran away shouting in fear.
In the bars and casinos on both sides of the street, some people heard the "noise" outside and came out to check the situation. When they saw the slender warship docked at the port, their faces froze.
Then they all looked at their own ships and saw the mast fallen on the ship. Some of the onlookers looked stern and quickly rushed towards the dock.
"Navy, Navy—"
The young man who stayed on the pirate ship was about to continue shouting when he saw a cold face appear in his sight.
The next second, the young man's throat was strangled and his voice stopped abruptly.
Ji Guoyuan pinched the neck of the pirate in front of him with one hand and looked at him for a long time. He found that the boy in front of him did not seem to be on the wanted list. After pondering for a few seconds, Ji Guoyuan thought about it and let go of his hand and threw the other party aside.
This pirate flag was something that Yoriichi Tsugikuni had never seen before.
He didn't know what kind of pirate group this was. Tsugikoku Yoriichi was not a person who killed indiscriminately, and if possible, he didn't want to kill anyone.
Jiguo Yuanyi didn't like the feeling of the long sword cutting into the opponent's body.
Of course. The premise is that these people are qualified to survive.
"Uh cough cough"
The young man who was released by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni covered his throat and breathed in the air greedily. After releasing him, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni slowly walked to the bow of the battleship and looked at the pirates who were gathering here at this time.
The scale of this pirate group is not small. After hearing the noise here, more than a hundred pirates gathered on the shore in just a few minutes.
As for why you know that the other party is a pirate?
Isn’t that simple?
A group of guys with weapons and ferocious faces are aggressively surrounding the warship. Can you still expect these people to be good people?
"That guy is"
"Admiral of the Navy! Yoriichi Tsugikuni!!"
Seeing Tsugakuni Yoriichi appear on the bow, the pirates recognized him immediately. Tsugakuni Yoriichi has been famous since he captured the Pirate King Roger, and now he has become one of the "supreme combat forces" of the navy.
Except for a foolish boy like Luffy, any normal pirate would recognize the faces of the navy admirals through the newspaper to know which navy can be provoked and which navy cannot be provoked.
"Buzz—"
His identity was exposed, so Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't waste any more words and released his domineering aura directly. A low buzzing sound exploded in the air.
In an instant, terrifying pressure was precisely applied to every pirate. Behind Yoshikazu Tsugakuin, a young man who had just escaped from Yoshikazu Tsugakuin was trying to escape, but the surging domineering aura directly overwhelmed him.
Unable to hold on for even a second, the young pirate's head tilted and he lost consciousness.
On the coast, under the pressure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni's domineering aura, the pirates fell to the ground one after another.
However, there was a burly man wearing plate armor who, under the influence of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's domineering color, just shook his body and stood firm.
Although the strong man looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni who was standing at the bow of the pirate ship with horror, his movements had recovered.
"Hmm?"
Ji Guoyuan murmured softly, jumped lightly, and flew down directly.
Seeing Jiguo Yuanyi flying towards him, the burly man in plate armor gritted his teeth and growled:
"My captain! Wang Zhi!"
"Let us go! Otherwise, your navy will be declaring war on our Beehive Island!"
Cries of terror were heard. The big man in plate armor obviously knew something about Tsugikuni Yoshiichi. He spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that he would be killed before he could finish what he wanted to say.
However, he seemed to be a little too nervous. In fact, from the very beginning, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had no intention of killing them directly.
He planned to capture them first, then screen and distinguish them. Those with a bounty would be executed on the spot, and those without a bounty would be given a chance to reform and sent to Push City.
"Beehive Island? Wang Zhi?"
A place name and a people came into Ji Guoyuanyi's ears, making his expression stiffen.
The figure quickly landed in front of the burly man. Seeing that Ji Guoyuanyi did not draw his sword and attack directly, the other party breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and a smile was on his face.
Look!
Beehive Island, the name of Captain Wang Zhi, even Admiral Tsugikuni Yoriichi dared not touch it lightly.
“Bang!!!!”
As he was thinking this, a loud noise came directly into the strong man's ears, and at the same time, a sharp pain came from his abdomen.
Ji Guoyuan punched the strong man one by one, and the plate armor on the opponent's body was directly shattered by Ji Guoyuan's punches.
The intense pain made the strong man unable to help but hunch his body. And Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also grabbed the other's head and smashed it into the ground.
“Boom!!!!”
After a muffled sound, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly stood up and looked at the pirate whose head was embedded in the ground and had already lost consciousness. He said to himself in confusion:
"Wang Zhi?"
"Sounds familiar, I forgot where I heard it before."
"Let the headquarters check it for me later."
"Beehive Island? It seems to be a pirate base. Let's interrogate them. If they're close, we can just destroy them!"
