Chapter 189 Don't Run Away! Tsugikoku Yoriichi! (Two in One)
With the death of Moonlight Moriah, the shadow controlled by him was completely out of control.
Unlike Sucrose's ability of the Childlike Fun Fruit, Gekko Moriah's ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit completely lost its effect with the death of its owner.
Cyrus on the warship received news from Tsugikuni Yoriichi and his men. After the battle, he quickly brought the few navy men on the ship to the shore. After quickly arriving at the castle, he took the pirates back to the warship one by one under Yoriichi's order.
There were less than ten pairs of seastone handcuffs on Yoriichi's warship. In that era, the navy's secret factory that processed seastone had very little output. Not to mention Yoriichi Tsugikuni's naval branch in the New World, even the navy headquarters had very few seastone handcuffs.
The navy's weak control over the sea is closely related to the scarcity of seastone weapons.
There are countless people who possess Devil Fruits in this ocean, and to deal with Devil Fruit users, domineering help is often needed. Not to mention the rare natural Devil Fruits, even ordinary superhuman Devil Fruits, or ordinary animal-type Devil Fruits, as long as the user develops them a little, they are not something that ordinary people can resist.
For ordinary people to deal with people with special abilities, they often need to undergo rigorous training, through which they can break through the limits of the human body. However, compared with the speed at which nature creates people with special abilities, this training cycle is far too slow.
The existence of devil fruits has greatly helped the world become as out of control as it is today.
The name of the devil fruit is not derived from its side effects.
Eating a devil fruit is equivalent to gaining the power of a devil. Most people tend to become inflated because they suddenly gain power far beyond that of ordinary people.
With the help of the devil fruit, human desires will be infinitely magnified and eventually turn into the most terrifying demon in the world.
Due to the scarcity of seastone handcuffs, the navy's speed in escorting pirates back to the warship became quite slow because they were unsure whether any of the surviving pirates had the ability of devil fruits.
After taking these people on board, Cyrus began to lead people to identify these pirates.
Gekko Moriah has a large number of subordinates, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi's warships are unable to carry so many pirates. Moreover, Yoriichi does not want to waste precious food on scum.
The purpose of screening is to find out the pirates whose bounty orders say "ONLY ALIVE". As for the pirates who have no bounty or whose bounty orders say "DEAD OR ALIVE", there is only one fate waiting for them.
The castle destroyed by the meteor shower was still burning in the sea of fire. The flames lit up the entire sky red, and in the harbor where the warship was docked, the blood had completely dyed the river red.
On the deck, the pirates' screams, curses, and pleas before death made the eerie and terrifying atmosphere on the island even more intense.
The occasional sound of people falling into the water also created a terrifying atmosphere on the Dawn warship.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has returned to the ship at this time. The fire in the castle has not been extinguished yet. Seeing that the fire seems to last for a long time, in order not to waste time, Yoshiichi asked Yixiao to bring a few navy officers over and planned to let Yixiao use his ability to clear the fire scene so that the marines can search for the property stolen by Gekko Moriah.
Yoshiichiro himself stayed on the warship to prevent any capable pirates from suddenly rising up and harming his crew.
"Lieutenant General, are we being too cruel?!"
On the deck of the warship, one "execution" after another was taking place. A young sailor seemed unable to bear to watch such a cruel scene, so he walked up to Tsugikuni Yoriichi and asked in a low voice.
The navy on Yoriichi's ship were basically transferred from the Garp warship. Although they were no longer considered new recruits, many of them had never seen such a scene of execution.
If they were fighting with pirates, under the influence of hormones, even if they killed the enemy head-on, the young sailors might not feel so bad. But seeing these people crying and having their heads chopped off would still make people feel a little sympathetic.
There is no shortage of compassionate navy officers on Yoriichi's ship.
"cruel?"
"Whether it's cruel or not depends on the person being treated."
"Please use your compassion on ordinary people."
"To kill all the evildoers is to protect the good people."
Upon hearing this, Tsukuni Yoshiichi tilted his head slightly, glanced at the young marine standing behind him, and spoke calmly. Although Tsukuni Yoshiichi said this calmly, the young marine's hair stood on end after hearing this, and he felt a deep sense of fear.
He subconsciously straightened his back and saluted towards Yoshiko Tsugakuin and Yoshiichi, and the young navy quickly left Yoshiichi's side.
This screening and execution lasted for nearly three hours. The result was that no one in Moria's pirate group had an "ONLY ALIVE" bounty order, but there were dozens of bounty prisoners, and the total bounty was nearly 500 million.
The heads of these pirates were also photographed for record and then soaked in preservative fluid.
Yixiao, who went to the castle ruins to search for Moria's heritage, also led the team back to the ship. More than a dozen navy men, each carrying a huge box, ran back and forth several times before moving all the valuables back to the ship.
After counting and storing, the construction funds of Jiguoyuanyi increased by another 300 to 400 million.
It must be said that these pirates fought tooth and nail, but the money they robbed was not worth as much as their heads. However, it was understandable to Yunyi. After all, with so many people to support, if the pirate captain was not diligent enough, he would probably not be able to support his subordinates.
After all, not all pirates can carve out land and collect protection fees like the future Four Emperors.
After doing all this, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's warship slowly set sail and left the "island".
Thick fog once again enveloped the terrifying three-masted sailing ship. Under the influence of the ocean current, the crimson color in the river slowly returned to the color of sea water.
No one except Tsugikuni Yoriichi and his fellow sailors could possibly know what transpired aboard that terrifying three-masted sailing ship. Gekko Moriah and his men would eventually be forgotten by all as time passed.
And the same thing happens every day on this ocean.
"Hey, Yixiao, why do you want to change the scabbard?"
"Even if it's just a cane, it wouldn't be a problem if I used Qiu Shui's scabbard as a cane, right?"
"This cane is just a decoration for you, right? And is it necessary to replace not only the scabbard, but also the blade and handle of Qiu Shui's sword?"
The warship began to return. It would take nearly half a month to sail on the sea to return to Dressrosa.
Having just received a smile from Qiu Shui, he sat on the deck and began to transform and process Qiu Shui.
And Yunyi was also called by Yixiao to help Yixiao "transform" the sword.
I don't know what's wrong with Yixiao, but he actually wants to replace Qiushui's scabbard, blade, and handle, intending to turn Qiushui into his "cane."
Yuanyi was very puzzled by this and couldn't help but complain.
Ryoma's sword, the famous sword Shusui, not only has the excellent quality of its blade, but all its accessories are "top-notch", including the scabbard, blade, and handle.
However, Yixiao seemed not completely satisfied with Qiu Shui.
"I'm blind and used to using a cane to find my way. It would be inconvenient without it."
"For me, holding a cane is more comfortable than holding a knife handle."
"Excuse me, please help me transform it."
Tsugikoku Yoriichi and Ichisho sat together, each holding a long knife in one hand and sharpening a stick. Behind Yoriichi, Cyrus poked his head out, watching Yoriichi's movements with curiosity, and was amazed at Yoriichi's "carpentry skills".
"With your swordsmanship at this level, you can even whittle a wooden stick with perfection!"
When Yunyi heard Cyrus' praise, he was not happy. He felt that this guy was mocking him.
Ignoring Cyrus, Yunyi helped Yixiao sharpen a wooden stick while picking up Yixiao's original "cane" for comparison. Sometimes, he even used the Qiu Shui with the handle and blade removed to compare.
Soon, Jigoku Yoshiichi had "rolled" out a smooth, round stick. He then had Cyrus light a brazier, and after briefly warming the stick in his hand, he compared it to the curvature of the Qiushui blade and bent it slightly.
Comparing the handle of Yixiao's cane, Yunyi cut off a piece of wood from the stick, and then without Yunyi carving a hole on the handle, he directly inserted Qiu Shui into the handle.
Then he picked up the wooden stick and inserted Qiu Shui's blade directly into the stick. Under the pressure of the wood, the scabbard was completed in an instant.
"Here, it's done." After handing the re-equipped Qiu Shui back to Yixiao, Yixiao took the knife with both hands, grasping the handle and pulling it back and forth. A smile immediately appeared on Yixiao's face: "Thank you very much."
Yixiao seemed quite satisfied with Yuanyi's "crudely made" cane, and he used it quite smoothly.
"Yixiao, you really are such a wasteful guy!"
Mihawk looked at Yixiao's satisfied face and for a moment didn't know what to say so he could only sigh.
The famous sword Qiushui, on Yixiao's side, has unexpectedly become so simple.
Although both are famous swords, his Black Blade Night is much more "gorgeous"!
You may not believe it, but Mihawk is an exquisite man!
As Yuichiro stood up, a series of rapid calls of Den Den Mushi came from his arms.
"Um?!"
"Moses Moses?"
Yunyi brushed off the wood chips on his thighs, looked down at himself, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms, picked up the receiver, and asked with a smile.
However, just as Tsugikuni Yoriichi finished speaking, Koshiro's urgent voice came from the other end of the microphone:
"Lieutenant General!"
"Traces of Pirate King Roger have been found on the island!"
The words coming from the other end of the phone startled Yixiao, Mihawk, and Cyrus, and they all looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who was holding the receiver, narrowed his eyes, fell silent for a moment, and replied in a calm tone, "If he doesn't do anything strange, then don't worry about him."
"Don't contact him, wait until we come back!"
However, just as Tsugikoku Yoriichi finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter came from the other side of the receiver:
“Hahahahahaha!”
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't do things like this!"
"I'm a pirate! How can you, the navy, ignore me?"
A strange voice came from the receiver of the Den Den Mushi. The moment Cyrus heard it, an anxious look immediately appeared on his face. When Ichijo and Mihawk heard the voice, they couldn't help but walk over to Yuichiro and pricked up their ears.
When Ji Guoyuan heard this voice, he did not show any panic, but replied with a smile:
"I didn't expect that the person I was talking to was you. Pirate King Roger!"
"Are you calling me to inform me that the Marine Branch has been occupied by you?"
Yunyi smiled and joked that he did not feel any fear towards the Pirate King Roger.
Perhaps the name Roger is indeed a name that can stop children from crying, but Yunyi still has some understanding of Roger. This person is very different from ordinary pirates.
Even in Dressrosa, Yoriichi was not worried that Koshiro would be in any danger.
"occupied?!"
"Ah! If you think so, that's fine."
"You must come back soon. If you come back too late, I can't guarantee what will happen to your naval branch."
"I called you this time to let you know."
"I'll be waiting for you in Dressrosa. Don't run away, Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
After saying that, without waiting for Yoriichi to say anything, Roger hung up the phone directly, and a busy tone came from the receiver of the Den Den Mushi.
Looking down at the receiver in his hand, Tsujikuni Yoshiichi's eyes became a little deep.
"Why did Pirate King Roger come to Dressrosa instead of enjoying the rest of his life?!"
"Could it be that this guy came all the way to see me?!"
Jiguo Yuanyi frowned slightly and thought to himself.
"Hey~Roger, you came early today!"
"Is it still Bremeister?"
That morning, in a bar called "Three Guns" next to the Dawn Naval Branch, the owner welcomed his first customer.
This is already an old customer. For nearly half a month, this man named Roger has been coming here frequently.
"Ah! Sorry to bother you, same as usual."
"Uh-huh."
Roger pushed open the cowboy door and slowly walked to the bar. As soon as he sat down, he felt an itch in his chest and started coughing violently.
"Hey, Roger, I've heard you coughing for days!"
"Do you want to see a doctor? And don't drink today's wine?"
The bar owner was also a good man. Seeing Roger coughing so badly, he immediately tried to persuade him.
"ah?"
"That won't do!"
"If there's no wine to drink, life would be too boring."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm fine, bring me the wine!"
Roger paused for a moment, and seeing the boss's worried look, he immediately smiled and waved his hand, grabbed the wine that had been placed on the bar, opened it casually, and took a sip.
Seeing Roger like this, the boss hesitated to speak, then sighed lightly, and stopped persuading him, but changed the subject.
"Roger, I see you've been on the island for quite some time. What's the matter, great pirate like you? Are you planning to settle down in Dressrosa?"
After so much time had passed, Roger's identity had long been exposed, and he had not concealed his name. The bar owner was terrified when he first knew that the man in front of him was the Pirate King, but after getting to know Roger, the bar owner became more relaxed.
Although the bar owner still feels a little unreal, his interactions with Roger seem much more normal.
"settle down?"
"Hahahaha! No."
"I'll be leaving soon!"
"I'm afraid there's no way I can drink your wine anymore, hahahaha!"
When Roger said "leave", he seemed unusually relaxed and carefree. The bar owner obviously didn't hear the hidden meaning of Roger's words and said with a smile:
"How can you not drink my wine? If you come, I always have wine here to entertain you!"
Listening to his boss's words, Roger laughed without explaining.
After drinking and chatting with the bar owner for a while, Roger suddenly looked serious. He stood up silently, threw a stack of Baileys on the bar, and then grabbed the bottle and walked out of the bar silently.
The bar owner was confused and called out to Roger a few times, but there was no response from Roger.
After leaving the bar, Roger walked towards the harbor.
When Roger arrived at the dock, a ship happened to come into his sight on the distant horizon.
That's a warship.
