Chapter 678 Going Home?! (Two in One)



Restoring stability to Fishman Island wasn't a difficult task. Despite all the rumors these days, the vast majority of Fishman Islanders were simple and honest.

As long as there is no major turmoil in Fishman Street, which represents the chaos and disorder of Fishman Island, Fishman Island will not be in chaos.

Jinbe already has a very high prestige in Fishman Island. As soon as he appears, all the rumors surrounding King Neptune and the new navy are naturally refuted.

The appearance of Jinbei also calmed the restless people down completely.

Jinbe has done a lot of things on Fish-man Island over the years. He has defended Fish-man Island against countless pirates and has become the mainstay of protecting Fish-man Island. His presence is even stronger than that of King Neptune.

Although Jinbei was unwilling to be the base commander, he was born on Fishman Island and naturally did not want to see his hometown become chaotic and disorderly. Therefore, even without the orders of the upper echelons such as Tsugakuin, Jinbei would spontaneously patrol the streets, just like before, without showing any abnormality.

He was using this method to appease the people of Fishman Island.

And the effect of his actions was indeed very good. Although everyone knew that the New Navy had suffered a huge blow, people were relieved to see that Jinbe was the same as usual.

The people of Fisherman Island also have a blind worship of the New Navy. The New Navy, respected by the world as an "imperial" force, has undoubtedly stood at the top of this ocean. They do not think that the New Navy will sink because of such a defeat.

There are even some people who are looking forward to what kind of counterattack the new navy will launch against the World Government.

Order gradually returned to Fishman Island, although the lack of grassroots soldiers weakened the new navy's control over Fishman Island.

However, the name of the New Navy can always deter those pirates who have ulterior motives. Although the pirates know that the New Navy on the island has been attacked by the World Government, the World Government has now retreated, and Jinbe has returned to the public's attention.

The power of the New Navy on Fishman Island has not completely disappeared.

Moreover, the pirates also understood clearly that a powerful force like the New Navy would never accept the loss in silence and would inevitably launch a violent revenge against the World Government.

There is a high probability that Fishman Island will become the bridgehead for the New Navy to retaliate against the World Government. As chaos is approaching, the pirates dare not stay on Fishman Island for long. They just take advantage of the weakening of the New Navy's control over the island to step up the purchase of supplies, and then hurriedly leave Fishman Island and head for the New World.

Although Tsugikuni Yoriichi has not left the Fish-Man Forest in these days and has not entered the town to personally experience the current atmosphere of Fish-Man Island, his observation Haki is able to sense the emotional state of every citizen.

After he noticed that the atmosphere of the group had become peaceful again, Yoriichi knew that it was time to leave Fishman Island.

The transfer order for Tiger has already been issued through the International Headquarters. It is estimated that in the next two days, Tiger should receive a call from the headquarters and pack up to come to Fishman Island.

Tiger had no objection to returning to Fishman Island to rebuild the Navy branch. On the contrary, after learning that Jinbe was defeated and the Fishman Island branch was destroyed, Tiger was extremely worried.

He was worried about the safety of his younger brother Shi Ping, and he was also worried about whether his hometown had been destroyed.

For a moment, I was eager to go home.

When Yixiao and Tiger talked about letting him be the base chief of the Fishman Island branch, Tiger agreed without any hesitation.

However, in order to speed up the reconstruction, Tiger hopes to take away some key officers from the Redchiled Island where he is stationed. He plans to use these mature grassroots officers as the skeleton to let the Fishman Island branch grow flesh and blood again.

And his request was naturally granted.

To rebuild such a large naval branch, it is far from enough to rely solely on Tiger and Jinbe. Therefore, the request put forward by Tiger is not only not excessive, but also very reasonable.

But on the other hand, a problem also came to the headquarters, that is, who would guard the Redchiled Island after Tiger left?

The population of Redchild Island is very complex. Some of them were the original inhabitants of the island and were once prisoners or slaves of pirates.

Some of them were slaves rescued from the Holy Land by Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his men. Some of them were sent back to their hometowns, and the remaining slaves who had no families chose to stay on Readchiled Island and start a new life in a completely new place.

These people are different from people in normal countries. They are more sensitive and pay more attention to the safety of their living environment.

The reason why Ji Guoyuan and others chose Tiger to be the base commander of Lidchiled Island was because they considered that Tiger had similar experiences to them, and Tiger was a fishman, so he knew very well what it felt like to be discriminated against.

The warm-hearted Tiger was able to get along well with these sensitive people.

The development of Deqiled Island in recent years has also confirmed the original ideas of Yuanyi and others.

But if it wasn't Tiger, who should be sent to Redchiled Island became a big problem.

However, this kind of thing is not something that Yuanyi needs to worry about, so Yixiao has to take care of this difficult problem.

The sky over Fishman Island is always clear and sunny. After all, it is different from the land. There are no distinct four seasons and no changeable weather.

"Teacher Zephyr, it's almost time for us to leave Fishman Island."

"We're all here now. Do you want to go back to the Marine Headquarters and take a look?"

Seeing that Fishman Island had returned to peace, Tsugikuni Yoriichi also had the idea of ​​leaving Fishman Island, but he had no intention of returning to Bankoi. Instead, he asked Zephyr this.

Initially, their purpose of coming was to arrest Luffy, but now, because of the World Government, they have lost track of the Straw Hat Pirates and others.

Normally, they should return to Wan Guo first, but

Now that they have arrived at Fishman Island, and four of the Five Elders have died at Yoriichi's hands, Yoriichi has different thoughts in his mind.

Since his existence has been exposed and he has already fought head-on with the Five Elders, he might as well make things bigger and maximize his victory.

As it happened, Fishman Island and the Sabaody Archipelago were not far from each other, and it was only a three or four day voyage. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he planned to go to the Holy Land to see Im, and also to go to the Naval Headquarters and "say hello" to Marshal Sengoku.

The relationship between the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters is too delicate. Now that the World Government is weak, Yoriichi doesn't mind expanding his influence in the Naval Headquarters.

If possible, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi even wanted to completely divide the Naval Headquarters and bring it under his own control.

"Go back to the Marine Headquarters and take a look?!"

When Zefa suddenly heard what Tsugikoku Yoshiichi said, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yunyi's choice of words was very particular. The word "return" in his words made Zefa savor it for a long time. After pondering for a moment, Zefa suddenly came to his senses.

"Haha. Since you said so, let's go back and take a look."

"It's been many years since I've 'returned' to the Marine Headquarters."

"Now that you mentioned it, I really want to go back and take a look."

When Zephyr left the Marine Headquarters, the headquarters officially classified him as a "defection." However, this so-called defection was only circulated among the senior members of the Navy, and the word "defection" was never used in the external statements.

At the public opinion level, the Marine Headquarters is trying hard to downplay the fact that Zephyr and Kuzan left the Marine Headquarters.

Before joining the new navy, one of them was an admiral and the other was a former admiral. The impact of people of this level joining the new navy was simply too enormous.

The positioning of the New Navy in the minds of the people is actually very different from the positioning given to them by the World Government.

In the minds of the people, the leaders of the new navy are all senior officials of the former headquarters of the navy, whether it is the founder of the organization, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, or Zephyr and Kuzan who joined later.

These people all came from the Naval Headquarters, and the public would subconsciously regard the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters as one and the same. The labels they gave to the New Navy were mostly "internal strife", "failed to seize power", "exiles" and so on.

They believe that the emergence of the new navy is the result of internal strife within the navy. They are two "navies" with different ideas, and they are partners who can stand together in front of pirates.

But in the eyes of the World Government, the New Navy is a complete rebel and must be eliminated.

It is precisely this cognitive gap that makes the relationship between the Navy Headquarters and the New Navy extremely delicate.

Not only do ordinary people think that the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters are one and the same, even some grassroots soldiers scattered around the world do not understand the connection between them and have similar ideas.

The legitimacy and voice of the Naval Headquarters had actually been separated by the New Navy long ago, and this was exactly what Yoriichi Tsugikuni wanted to take advantage of.

After making up their minds, Zephyr and Yoriichi set off quickly, and when they left, they took Jinbei with them.

The affairs of Fishman Island were temporarily handed over to Shark Star, which were nothing more than some daily law and order maintenance and pirate arrests. Even if the new naval branch was destroyed, the guards of Ryugu Castle would still be able to handle some of the matters.

King Neptune has completely delegated power, and before Tiger led his men to Fish-Man Island, Shark Star was the supreme leader of Fish-Man Island.

Shark Star might not be able to deal with some powerful pirates, but that kind of thing can be left to Tiger and the others to handle.

Therefore, Fishman Island did not become chaotic again because of the departure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and others.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Magellan, who went to Fishman Island, has now returned to the Navy Headquarters with Sabo. The two reported to Sengoku in detail what happened on Opinion Island.

Upon learning that Tsugikuni Yoriichi had reappeared, Sengoku immediately convened a high-level meeting within the navy.

The new navy with Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the new navy without Tsugakuni Yoriichi are completely two different levels of organizations. Their naval headquarters must re-evaluate their relationship with the new navy.

"We have received accurate news, Tsugikuni Yoriichi is not dead!"

"He appeared on Fish-Man Island and clashed with the Five Elders. Except for Garin Saint, the other four all perished on Fish-Man Island."

"Tell me, what are your thoughts after hearing this news?"

The conference room was very small, and the attendees were all powerful lieutenant generals and generals of the headquarters. Officers below the rank of lieutenant general were not qualified to attend the meeting at all, and even those lieutenant generals with honorary titles were not present.

There were only more than twenty generals in the conference room of dozens of square meters.

Zhan Guo stood on the stage and spoke in a heavy tone, then looked at the other participants.

Generals Borsalino and Sakaski had received the news before the meeting, but when the meeting started, the two generals remained silent.

Even though Zhan Guo's eyes kept looking at the two of them, the two of them acted as if they were not involved and did not express their opinions immediately.

The two of them are veteran generals of the headquarters, and their say is second only to Zhan Guo.

Magellan's foundation was very shallow, and he had not yet built up his own power within the headquarters. His opinions and ideas were far less important than those of Borsalino and Sakaski.

"Borsalino, you go first."

Everyone in the conference room seemed to be still shocked by the news that "Tsugokuni Yoshiichi is still alive" and had not yet recovered. However, Sengoku started to call out the names and looked at Borsalino.

Although this guy looks lazy all day long, Borsalino is one of the most powerful people in the department.

"ah?!"

“As for me—”

"If you want me to tell you."

Borsalino, who was called, was cutting his nails. When he heard Zhan Guo calling his name, he slowly sat up straight and then slowly put away his nail clippers.

"Marshal, now that Tsugikuni Yoriichi has appeared, do we have any other choice?"

"Or is there anyone in the current Marine Headquarters who can stand up to Tsugikuni Yoriichi?"

"I actually have no problem with who gives the orders."

"As long as the Navy remains the Navy."

If everyone present had not heard Borsalino's words with their own ears, no one would have believed that these were words a general could say.

The situation had developed to this point, and Borsalino was almost slapping the label of "traitor" on his face.

Zhan Guo has always known that Borsalino is a man with a wavering stance. After all, this guy is "ambiguous justice." At this critical moment, Borsalino would make such a statement, which to some extent is really in line with his "ambiguous justice."

But for a general like Borsalino to say such a thing at such a meeting is really ridiculous.

"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Shut up!"

Zhan Guo scolded, and then looked at Sakaski.

This guy is an obvious hawk. He will show no mercy to anything that is detrimental to world stability.

He has always been very tough on pirates and the new navy.

However, when Sakaski noticed Zhan Guo's gaze, he remained silent.

It wasn't until everyone in the conference room followed Zhan Guo's gaze and set their eyes on Sakaski that he realized he couldn't hide. After briefly organizing his words in his brain, he spoke, shocking everyone:

"Let's talk to Jiguo Yuanyi."

"If we can't become friends, then gather all our strength and attack the nations!"

"Perhaps the Celestial Dragons would be happy to see us being so resolute."
