Chapter 674 The One Who Controls Everything! (Two in One)
The battle ended, and the once luxurious Dragon Palace City was reduced to ruins.
Although this battle did not last very long, the noise it made was enough for everyone on Fishman Island to clearly feel what was happening.
After sheathing the sword, Yoriichi Tsugikuni then picked up the head of Saint Peter.
At the moment when he was about to pass through the teleportation array, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash arrived first. In front of Yoshiichi, Pitt Saint's protective domineering aura seemed to be non-existent, like a piece of rotten newspaper that would break with a poke.
Although his body passed through the teleportation array smoothly, his head remained outside the teleportation array and now fell into the hands of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The functions of the body and the head are obviously completely different. At this moment, Saint Peter watched his headless body sink into the teleportation array, and then the black teleportation array quickly disappeared from his sight. He felt like the sky was falling.
When he realized his fate, his eyes darkened and he fainted from anger...
Although the Five Elders have extremely strong vitality, so strong that they do not seem like normal humans, they are still within the scope of intelligent creatures.
With my head held by Tsugumi Yoshiichi, is there any point in running even if my body runs far?!
"An unexpected gain..."
Ji Guoyuan whispered to himself with a smile on his face.
This attack was not fully successful, allowing Garin Sheng to escape from Fishman Island smoothly. Not only that, but Yoriichi also revealed his existence, which would turn the World Government's attention back to the New Navy.
Although he killed several of the Five Elders, Yunyi understood that these people seemed high and mighty, but in fact they were nothing more than slaves and puppets of Im.
As long as Im is alive, she can have as many Five Elder Stars as she wants. Every Celestial Dragon can be endowed with the power and authority of the Five Elder Stars. This can be seen from the way Jigoku Yoshiichi fought after Garin Sheng became a Five Elder Star.
But even so, Tsugikuni Yoriichi gained a lot.
The dead Five Elders were of no value to Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, but... the head of Saint Pitt in his hand now is priceless!
His body had passed through the teleportation array, which meant that he had completely lost his combat effectiveness and ability to resist.
If information about the holy land could be obtained from him, it would be very helpful for Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's next actions.
Saint Pitt is one of the five elder stars. His understanding of the holy land and Im must be far beyond that of ordinary Celestial Dragons.
Those Tianlong people in the holy land were kept in captivity like pigs, and there was not even any intelligence value in them.
But... Peter Saint is different!
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had no intention of waking Peter Saint and interrogating him on the spot. He wasn't good at this sort of thing, so letting Vegapunk handle it was the "professionals doing professional work" approach.
Just then, the sound of dense footsteps came from a distance.
Tsugikoku Yuanyi casually threw away Topman Wakulisheng, who had turned into ashes, and looked sideways in the direction where the footsteps came from.
As an information outlet, Ji Guoyuan only needs one. Withholding the heads of the Five Elders is actually a huge risk. No one knows what kind of power these people have. In order to prevent any accidents, one head is enough for Ji Guoyuan to keep an eye on.
“This…this is…”
At this moment, it was Admiral Magellan who led his men to the battlefield. Behind him were hundreds of navy officers in white uniforms and dozens of CP agents in black uniforms.
When the Five Elders gathered to meet King Neptune, they did not have any guards around. Magellan himself did not actually stay in Ryugu Castle during this period, but was sightseeing in the city. He also asked his subordinates to come forward to appease the panicked people of Fishman Island.
A huge change took place in Ryugu Castle. The new navy was killed in the street and Jinbe was arrested.
All these incidents made the people of Fishman Island uneasy.
Even though Magellan used to be the warden of Impel Down, his heart was not as terrifying as his appearance, but rather unusually soft.
Unlike the Celestial Dragons, he did not treat the people of Fishman Island as "livestock" or "slaves."
Therefore, when Magellan noticed the movement in Ryugu City and brought people there, everything had already been settled.
On the devastated battlefield, there were several headless animal corpses.
Ji Guoyuan stood on an open space, his long red hair dancing in the wind.
When Magellan looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Yoriichi also looked at Magellan and others.
When their eyes met, Magellan saw Tsugokuni Yoshiichi's face clearly, and he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
“You…you are…”
Magellan opened his mouth slightly, his inner emotions were so strong that he could not calm down at all, so much so that his speech became a little halting.
Yuichiro Tsugikoku!
Hanging in Magellan's office is the calligraphy of "Clear Justice" written by Zefa that was left behind by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had left the Marine Headquarters a long time ago, his departure was not the end of his time at the Marine Headquarters. A part of his political legacy and ideas were left behind and were also absorbed by later generations.
Magellan, who walked out of prison, was one of them.
Magellan, who had just become a naval admiral, was more or less confused. Having dealt with criminals for half his life, he suddenly stepped onto the stage and needed someone to guide him.
At that time, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was called "the future of the navy" by the navy, and naturally became a role model for many soldiers to worship and emulate.
From this perspective, Magellan is actually a fan of Yuichiro Tsugikuni...
That's why he was able to recognize Yoriichi Tsugikuni at a glance.
"The new admiral, Magellan?!"
Ji Guoyuan's smile remained unchanged. He looked around and continued:
"What? Are you, the Marine Headquarters, going to attack me like the Five Elders?"
Just one sentence separated the Navy Headquarters and the World Government.
This actually sounded a bit strange to the ordinary navy behind Magellan. After all, in their view, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters were one and the same.
However, Magellan keenly captured the intention revealed in Ji Guoyuan's words.
He did not want to confuse the Navy Headquarters with the World Government, and his words also gave Magellan a way out.
If these words were spoken by someone else, they would only be regarded as arrogant boasting, showing that they did not take the admirals and the Navy Headquarters seriously.
But if it was Tsugikoku Yoshiichi who said this... it was a ladder for Magellan and the others to retreat, and it depended on whether they wanted to get off it or not.
Magellan took this opportunity to quickly scan the entire room. When he heard what Ji Guoyuanyi said, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Now, when he saw what he had said, he was also shocked.
Magellan's gaze then focused on the head in Ji Guoyuan's hand, which was facing away from him. The hairs on his body stood on end, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The Five Elder Stars... Jiguo Yuanyi said that the Five Elder Stars attacked him?!
So what are these headless beasts on the battlefield...
Magellan didn't dare to think about it any further. He pondered for a moment, suppressed his inner trembling, and asked aloud:
"What on earth happened here, Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi?!"
"Why did you suddenly appear here?"
Magellan didn't know how to face Yoriichi Tsugakuni at this time. After all, this matter was a bit embarrassing because this was Fishman Island.
And just recently, he helped the Five Elders defeat Vice Admiral Jinbe, the guardian of Fishman Island.
Although Magellan did not continue to participate in the subsequent operations, now that Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro has stood in front of him, Magellan understands that if this matter is not handled properly, he and his subordinates may have to stay in Fishman Island.
Although Yoriichi Tsugakuni had been missing for many years and was rumored to have died in the Kingdom of Alabasta long ago, no matter what the rumors were, the fact was that Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared in front of him alive.
Moreover, Magellan would not doubt that the other party had the ability to kill all of them.
"Shouldn't you be the one asking me this question?"
"I think I should ask you, why did people from the Navy Headquarters appear on Fishman Island and also appeared in Ryugu Castle?"
"Magellan, take your people and leave Fishman Island."
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi shook his head slightly and did not answer Magellan's question.
He did not choose to continue attacking Magellan simply because he wanted to unite some forces that could be united. Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was also aware of Sengoku's attitude towards the new navy over the years.
He knew that the top brass of the Navy and the Celestial Dragons of the World Government were not completely on the same page.
Obviously, the war that the Celestial Dragons forced the navy to launch against the New Navy under coercion was deeply engraved in Zhan Guo's mind.
After the battle on the Origin Island, the top navy suffered heavy losses. Zhan Guo also silently kept this hatred in his heart and blamed it on the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
Those who died in the battle were Zhan Guo's former leaders, teachers and close comrades. Zhan Guo himself was a lonely man, and the closest people in his life besides his parents were these people.
The war on the Island of Origin dealt a heavy blow to the Warring States period.
If it weren't for the World Government's selfish desires, the relationship between the Marine Headquarters and the New Navy would never have reached that point.
Sengoku has always had a positive view of the new navy. He has always felt that the new navy under the leadership of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni is the X factor for stabilizing the new world and an indispensable force.
Sengoku's feelings towards the new navy are actually very similar to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's feelings towards the headquarters of the navy.
Yoshikazu Tsugikuni also felt that the Marine Headquarters was an important force that was indispensable for stabilizing the four seas, but this force must never be under the control of the Celestial Dragons!
The reason why they did not continue to attack Magellan was actually a kind of tacit understanding between Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Sengoku.
Hearing Ji Guoyuan's tough tone, Magellan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say to Ji Guoyuan.
Just retreat like that?!
That wouldn't work either. Jialin Sheng, one of the Five Elder Stars, came here with him. Now Jialin Sheng's whereabouts are unknown. If he just goes back like this, he won't be able to explain.
Magellan was unaware of the dirty dealings between the top levels, and he placed the status of the Five Elders a little too high.
"Mr. Tsugikuni Yoriichi, we will leave Fishman Island as you said."
"But there's a Celestial Dragon who came to Fishman Island with us. Can you tell me exactly how Saint Figaland Garin is doing now?"
Magellan did not see Garin among the corpses of animals on the battlefield. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he did not dare to ask in detail at this time and only asked Garin Sheng.
As he said, the only one who came with the Marine Headquarters was Garin Sheng. As for the other Five Elders, they had nothing to do with him.
The repeated questioning had already made Tsugikuni Yoshiichi lose his patience. He frowned slightly and was about to draw his sword when the head of Saint Peter in his hand suddenly changed.
Peter Sheng, who was originally in a coma, suddenly woke up for some unknown reason. Even though Tsujigoku Yuichi hadn't done anything, he howled in fear: "No! No!!!"
Just as Jiguo Yuanyi was looking at Peter Saint's head in confusion, the head was suddenly tightly wrapped in a black flame.
It happened suddenly, and the next moment, a shrill scream came out of Peter Saint's mouth, and the scream was deafening.
"Squeak—"
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's palm was burned by the black flame, and golden flames emerged from the blurred flesh and blood in the palm of his palm, wrapping around the black flame. Yoriichi wanted to use this method to extinguish the suddenly ignited black flame, but the black flame's resistance was very strong and there was no way to break through in a short time.
At the same time, Saint Peter, who was wrapped in black flames, was burned motionless in just a few breaths. His flesh, blood, and skull were also quickly burned in the black flames.
“.”
A few seconds later, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's golden flame tore through the black flame's defense. However, at this time, Pit Saint was completely dead, deader than dead.
Feeling that Peter Saint's vitality had completely disappeared, Ji Guoyuan gently spread out his palm and let the remains of Peter Saint fall to the ground.
"Yim's control over the Five Elders is surprisingly strong to this extent."
"Even though he's far away in the Holy Land, he still firmly holds the lives of these Five Elders in his hands."
The death of Pit Saint made Tsugikuni Yoriichi sigh softly, and at the same time, it also made him more determined to get rid of Im.
The strength of the enemy may be beyond Tsugikuni Yoriichi's expectations.
The scene that happened in front of Ji Guoyuan was also seen by Magellan and other navy officers.
The ordinary navy did not know who the head in Ji Guoyuan's hand belonged to, but Magellan, who had caught a glimpse of a corner of the heavenly palace, was suddenly shocked.
He was in Dragon Palace City for such a short time, but the things he saw still shocked him.
At this moment, he was so shocked that his breathing became a little softer.
"Succession of the country."
Magellan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the air without any warning.
The next moment, lightning fell to the ground and quickly condensed into a solid entity.
Sabo's figure emerged from the lightning. He ignored the shocked Magellan and gently pulled Magellan's arm, whispering:
"General Magellan, please go back first."
"I'll tell you about this in detail later."
After saying that, Sabo looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuin and bowed slightly to him as a greeting.
"You Sabo?"
"Why are you here?"
“This is you.”
Sabo's sudden appearance and the words he said contained so much information that Magellan didn't know what to say.
When Yoshiichi saw Sabo appear, there was no surprise on his face. He ignored Magellan and walked towards the dungeon where Jinbe was imprisoned.
