Chapter 98 Gray people, justice with a clear conscience!
More than ten minutes later, a green warship docked at the shore of Dongwu Island.
After stopping, only a few purchasing crew members came down from the warship, and the rest of the navy had no intention of landing.
Ji Guoyuan stood on the deck, looking at the bustling port, a little absent-minded.
After a while, Tsugikoku Yoichi took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and picked up the receiver.
"Bululu~"
"Bululu~"
"Gah~"
After a few busy tones, someone picked up the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and a powerful voice came from the other side.
"Oh! It's Yoriichi!"
"I didn't expect you to talk to me so soon!"
"Well? Have you thought it through? Are you going to join us?"
"I knew it, a guy like you."
When Ji Guoyuan heard this familiar voice, he interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "New World, Sharon Kingdom."
After saying this, Tsugakuin hung up the Den Den Mushi and took it into his arms. After taking a few more glances at the bustling port, Tsugakuin turned and walked towards the driver's cabin.
In a small town on an island in the East China Sea.
Monkey D. Dragon was sitting on a bench at the door of a cabin, with his legs crossed, looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand that was already busy, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
At this moment, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and a young woman walked out of the wooden house and sat down next to Long. Seeing Long's thoughtful look, the young woman asked softly, "Long, what happened?!"
The woman's voice brought Long back to reality from his thoughts. Seeing the woman sitting next to him, Long showed a gentle smile on his face. He gently hugged the woman and whispered in her ear;
"It's a call from an old kid."
"That's the boy I mentioned to you before, the one the old man took back to the navy."
"His phone number."
As she spoke, a look of surprise crossed the woman's face. She asked, "Is that the 'future of the navy' that father mentioned?"
Long nodded when he heard this, and then put the Den Den Mushi in his arms.
After giving the young woman a gentle hug, Long said softly, "Sorry, I have to go out for a while."
"I think I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, Long stood up and walked towards the wooden house. The young woman did not stop him and followed Long into the wooden house.
After a long time, Long walked out of the wooden house wearing a cloak. At the door, he kissed the young woman, and then Long's figure turned into a breeze and disappeared at the door of the wooden house.
The young woman stood at the door for a long time before turning around and walking back into the wooden house.
New World, Dongwu Island.
The marines who went to the island for purchasing have returned and stored the necessary supplies in the warship's warehouse. At the same time, several shipbuilders followed these purchasing marines to the warship.
Kuzan's "vehicle" itself can be considered to be in disrepair. After experiencing a previous war, the ship is already in danger.
The most serious damage to the hull was not the two large holes that Kuzan "drilled" with his body, but the slash released by Colonel Tsugikuni Yoshiichi himself.
The knife he used to kill Sharon Lawrence not only left a scar on the deck, but also spread to the hull below the deck.
In fact, in just over ten minutes of sailing from the sea to the port, a lot of seawater had already entered the hull. If the distance had not been short, the ship would have sunk into the sea long ago.
The sailors of the Naval Headquarters basically have the skill of "repairing" with both hands, but they are limited to knowing only two hands.
If it's just a matter of repairing the deck and the cabin walls, the Marines can still do it themselves.
But repairing the hull is not something that these "non-professionals" can do.
After several shipbuilders boarded the ship, they were also surprised that the warship was so seriously damaged. However, when they thought that the ship in front of them was a warship, these shipbuilders could understand it.
This is the New World after all.
Soon, with the help of the navy, the shipbuilders began to repair ships for the navy. While these people were repairing the ships, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also took the time to chat with these shipbuilders.
His original intention was to learn about the Kingdom of Sharon through the mouths of the lower-class people of the Kingdom of Sharon.
And from the answers of these grassroots people, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also got the answers he wanted.
"King! King Sharon may look ferocious, but he is actually a very kind person."
"The people of our country have the life they have today thanks to him."
“.”
"World Nobility?! Heavenly Gold? Colonel, I don't know what you're asking about."
“.”
"The Navy branch here! I heard they started closed training a while ago, and it seems like it hasn't ended yet."
“.”
"Taxes? Colonel, I'm not entirely clear on what you're asking! Please stop asking."
During the casual conversation with the shipwright, Tsugikoku Yoriichi got some information. Then Tsugikoku Yoriichi quietly got off the ship and secretly went to the navy branch of the Kingdom of Sharon.
It was not until the evening when the shipbuilders were preparing to pack up and leave that Jigoku Yoshiichi returned to the deck and agreed with the shipbuilders on the time to go on board to repair the boat tomorrow.
The damage to the warship was quite serious and it would take three days to complete the repairs.
After these shipbuilders left, Ji Guoyuan stood on the deck, looking at the sea, with inexplicable thoughts.
"Yuichi, don't you think that the King of Sharon Lawrence you killed was a good man?!"
"I heard everything you said to the shipbuilders. Do you feel any remorse now? You killed a good king who treated his people well!"
Just as Yuichiro Tsugakuni was standing on the side of the ship watching the sunset, Kuzan had come to the deck at some point, walked to Yuichiro Tsugakuni's side, and asked.
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan held onto the cold railing with both hands and said without turning his head:
"I have no regrets."
"Kuzan, do you know how many people are in the Sharon Kingdom Navy Branch?"
Kuzan frowned obviously when he heard Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's answer. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tsugakuin Yoshiichi ask this.
Hearing this question, Kuzan seemed to have thought of something and fell silent.
"Nearly seven hundred people, some of them young midshipmen, probably not much older than me."
"I won't say whether Lawrence was right or wrong. I only know that if I let Lawrence go, those dead sailors will blame me."
Kuzan listened, and for a moment he seemed to have not digested what Tsugikuni Yoriichi said. He frowned and asked, "What about the citizens of the Sharon Kingdom?!"
"To them, you killed their beloved King Sharon. What kind of character are you?!"
"The Navy of Justice?!"
"If you are called justice, then what is King Sharon who cares about them? Evil?!"
"If those people knew, wouldn't they blame you?!"
Kuzan seemed to be a little agitated. He was brooding over Tsugikuni Yoriichi's killing of King Sharon, not only because of Sharon Lily, but also because the justice in his heart was being impacted by Tsugikuni Yoriichi's actions.
Kuzan has long regarded Yuichi Tsugakuin as his friend and partner, so when his partner Yuichi Tsugakuin challenges the justice in his heart, Kuzan is inevitably confused.
"Kuzan, you really are so naive!"
"Humanity can never be defined simply as black or white!"
"I'm gray!"
"And the King Sharon you mentioned who worked for the people is not some pure little white rabbit. He is also gray."
"If I were me and he were him, I wouldn't do anything to him if I met him."
"But when I put on this outfit, I'm white, and he must die!"
Kuzan listened to what Tsugikuni Yoriichi said, and was silent for a long time. Then he said, "So, you are a navy, so you are justice?!"
"madness."
"Just because I'm a marine doesn't mean I'm righteous."
"It's because my companions are marines, so as a marine, I am justice to those who killed my companions!"
"Kuzan, your kindness makes you want to protect more people, and that's what I admire about you."
"But before that, you must first be able to protect the people around you, your comrades, your subordinates, and your companions."
"Think back, Kuzan, think back to your anger when you received the call for help from the branch marines a week ago!"
"If you've forgotten that feeling, go to the Sharon Kingdom's Navy Branch!"
"Kuzan, I have done all this with a clear conscience!"
"This is my justice!"
After saying that, Jiguo Yuanyi turned around and left the deck, leaving Kuzan alone, staring at the sea in a daze.
The sun was setting slowly over the sea in the west. At this moment, it was the transition between day and night, and the sky was gray at the junction of day and night.
On both sides of the junction, there are completely different scenery. On one side, there is a night sky dotted with stars, and on the other side, the afterglow of the sun makes the sky a fiery red.
