On the calm and dim sea, a dim light appeared without warning. Cyrus noticed the abnormality on the sea in the distance and quickly walked to the side of the ship, holding the railing with one hand and staring at the sea.
As the sea breeze blew, Cyrus vaguely heard the sound of waves.
However, the sound of the waves is a little different. It doesn't sound like naturally formed waves, but more like the sound of a ship sailing.
"guard!"
"Everyone, be alert, and sound the alarm."
"Turn on the searchlight. Target, the light in the northwest."
Cyrus stared for a while, and suddenly remembered what Ji Guoyuanyi said to him during the day. His hair stood on end and he shouted loudly to the marines on duty.
In fact, when Cyrus noticed something unusual on the sea, the marine on duty also noticed it. However, the marine saw Cyrus standing by the side of the ship and did not give orders immediately, so he did not pay attention.
Hearing Cyrus's cry, they immediately sounded the alarm on the ship.
Suddenly, a sharp alarm rang out throughout the harbor, waking the sleeping residents. Some quickly dressed and left their houses to investigate. When they saw the dim light on the sea, they were startled.
Then shouts were heard at the port.
The navy's alarm not only woke up the residents, but also woke up the royal army stationed at the port.
The moment the alarm sounded, Tankurepond, the captain of the Dressrosa army, who was fast asleep in his bed, leaped from the boat, grabbed the sword beside his bed, and walked out of the tent.
"what happened?"
"What happened? Where did this alarm come from?"
"Someone, tell me what happened!"
Tancurepound, who had just walked out of the tent, shouted loudly. A guard on duty hurried over to him and reported, "Captain, we didn't sound the alarm."
"It's the navy. The alarm was issued by the warship docked at the pier."
When the navy arrived at the port that morning, it actually attracted a lot of attention, whether it was ordinary people at the port or the Royal Army stationed there. However, due to Yunyi's orders, the navy did not have much contact with the locals.
While the guards were reporting, Tancurepound quickly ran up to the camp's watchtower and looked toward the dock. Their army was stationed on a cliff on the harbor side, high up, and the area they could observe was quite wide.
The guards actually noticed the strange dim light on the sea, but they thought it was emitted by a warship docked in the port.
Under the cover of heavy fog, the monitoring of the sea by the Royal Army stationed there is actually not as strong as that of the warships docked at the dock.
"navy?"
"What is that?"
"Quick, call everyone up, assemble, and head to the dock."
Tancurepound just took a quick glance at the sea, let out a low cry of horror, and immediately gave the order.
Because the moment he looked at the sea, the warships docked in the port had already turned on their searchlights.
It is worth mentioning that the lighting system on the Jiguoyuan ship is also the most advanced in the world today. Under such a dark night sky, seven or eight searchlights on the warship are directly focused on a certain position on the sea surface.
In the thick fog, the dark shadow of a huge ship was slowly approaching the dock.
Under the cover of thick fog, Lou Winter, the captain of the Giant Pirates, known as the "Beast of Destruction", was standing on the deck when he suddenly heard a sharp alarm coming from the coast.
Soon, a dazzling light penetrated the thick fog and shone onto his boat.
Lou Winter's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this scene. Instead of retreating because he was discovered by the people at the port, he licked his lips and showed excitement on his face.
"Captain, we've been discovered!"
On the pirate ship's observation deck, a pirate reported to Lou Winter on the deck.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I've discovered it. The more the prey struggles, the more excited I get!"
"No need to suppress speed. We've been discovered anyway. Speed up and approach the port."
"We've specially cleared out the warehouse today, ready to do some big work!"
Lou Winter's face was filled with excitement. Big business! Dressrosa, it was big business. Yesterday, he had simply raided the port, robbed some peasants living on the outskirts of the city, and seized a few merchant ships, and he had already made a killing. Today, he planned to charge directly into the town.
Let the noble lords of Dressrosa bleed.
If possible, Lou Winter would like to take his men into the palace and taste the princesses and queens.
Thinking of this, Lou Winter felt a surge of heat in his chest, and his enthusiasm grew even higher.
The pirates gathered on the deck, upon hearing the captain's call, also cheered excitedly. The pirates' cheers, carried by the sea breeze, reached the ears of Cyrus, who was standing by the side of the warship.
"Pirates, they are pirates indeed."
"Gather everyone, quickly inform Vice Admiral Yoshiichi Tsugikoku that the pirates are coming!"
While shouting to the marines on the watchtower, Cyrus quickly regained his senses and ran to the cabin and returned to his room. Without time to change his clothes, he simply put on his military boots and returned to the deck with his sword in hand.
When Cyrus returned to the deck, he found that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had already arrived on the deck.
It can be seen that Ji Guoyuan was also in a hurry. He was barefoot and wearing a loose and thin black pajamas. He held his sword Dawn in his hand and stared at the black shadow of the giant ship on the sea that was getting closer and closer.
In the sea breeze, Ji Guoyuan's long red hair fluttered wildly.
Not long after Cyrus returned to the deck, Yixiao, Mihawk and others also came to the deck one after another. They all came behind Yunyi and followed Yunyi's line of sight to look at the shadow of the ship on the sea.
"Lieutenant General, what should we do?"
Cyrus asked through gritted teeth, sword in hand, as he heard the pirates' cheers getting closer.
"Is that even a question?"
"Let them never return!"
"Follow me! Let these guys who disturbed our peaceful dreams pay the price."
As Ji Guoyuan spoke, he had already jumped onto the railing, and then his figure flashed and he rushed directly into the thick fog, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Is it really necessary to be so troublesome? Do we have to go up and engage in a boarding battle?" Mihawk murmured in confusion when he saw Yuichiro's figure disappear, and showed no intention of leaving.
Cyrus had already stood on the railing by now. Seeing that Yixiao and Mihawk were motionless, he turned around and asked, "Aren't you going up?"
Yixiao heard Cyrus' question, smiled and shook his head, and said: "Lieutenant General Jiguo, I only called you."
Cyrus didn't understand what Yixiao said, and without asking any more questions, he flew away and disappeared on the deck.
“Buzz!!”
Shortly after Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Cyrus left, a terrifying buzzing sound was heard from the sea.
The next second, dense thunder roared over the sea, drowning out the terrifying humming sound. A storm quickly spread out in all directions, and the thick fog that enveloped the sea suddenly disappeared under this sudden storm.
Even the thick clouds that blocked the sky had a big hole at this moment, and the starlight surrounded the moonlight and fell on the sea.
It was not until now that the people on the shore and the assembled royal army could see the scene on the sea clearly.
Mihawk and the others also focused their attention on the red-haired boy standing on top of a golden-statue girl a few dozen meters away.
On the deck of the pirate ship, the pirates were swaying. Even Lou Winter, whose bounty exceeded 500 million, looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi who suddenly appeared on the bow with some fear. His throat seemed to be blocked by something. After a while, he finally roared out with difficulty:
"Heroic Haki?!"
"Who are you?"
Lou Winter summoned up all the courage in his life, raised his hand and pointed at Ji Guoyuan one by one, and asked angrily.
"I don't like being pointed at."
Jiguo Yuanyi glanced at Lou Winter, tilted his head slightly, and said indifferently. The moonlight fell on the side of Yuanyi's face, and the flame-shaped mark on his forehead was unusually conspicuous against the moonlight.
"That marking."
"The red-haired one."
"Are you the Navy's Yoriichi Tsugikoku?"
The moment he saw the red stripes, Lou Winter also saw Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's face clearly. The moment he recognized Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, Lou Winter could not hide the fear in his heart and screamed.
Vice Admiral of the Naval Headquarters, Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
A young marine who rose to power by stepping on the legendary pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion. In this new world, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's name spread far and wide.
It’s okay for ordinary people, but any pirate who pays a little attention to the movements of the navy knows the name of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and roughly knows what Yoriichi Tsugakuni looks like.
Even Yoriichi himself didn't know that in the eyes of the pirates, he, the vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, was even more famous than the admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Buddha's Warring States.
Since the destruction of the Rocks Pirates, nothing has been more shocking than the annihilation of the entire Golden Lion Shiki Pirates.
Yoshiichi Tsugikuni had no intention of chatting with Lou Winter. Hearing his exclamation, Yoshiichi only felt that the other party's hand pointing at him was really annoying.
Lou Winter saw Ji Guoyuanyi slowly put his hand on the long knife at his waist. Suddenly, Lou Winter felt a hint of warmth on his face, and then the strong smell of blood rushed into his nose.
"what happened?"
"My my arm?!"
Lou Winter felt something splashed on his face. He wanted to reach out to touch it, but suddenly found that his right arm had disappeared without a trace.
What made Lou Winter even more horrified was that he did not feel any pain in his arm.
"ah!!!"
After several seconds, his nerves finally responded, and intense pain was transmitted to his brain. Lou Winter cried out in pain, clutching his severed arm with his left hand, and took several steps back, his eyes wide open.
Looking up at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, he found that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi seemed to have never left the head of the golden statue of the girl. He just held the knife with his right hand and looked at him indifferently.
"There's no mistake! It was him, it was definitely him who did it!"
"How did he do that? I didn't even see him draw his knife. What's going on?"
"Is it a devil fruit ability?"
"Damn it! That's really despicable! Such a devil fruit power!"
"There's no way to defend yourself! Was Shiki the Golden Lion killed by this guy using this ability?"
Lou Winter was absolutely convinced that the guy who cut off his arm was Yoriichi Tsugakuni, but he didn't see Yoriichi make the move, so he thought that Yoriichi Tsugakuni used some unknown devil fruit ability.
There are all kinds of strange things in this sea.
The abilities of devil fruits are even more varied. In Lou Winter's understanding, no matter how powerful a person is, if he encounters some strange devil fruit abilities, he will be killed.
However, Lou Winter probably never dreamed that Yoshiichi Tsugikuni was not a devil fruit user at all.
He didn't see Yoshikazu Tsugakuni draw his sword, simply because Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's Iai slash was too fast, and Lou Winter couldn't catch it with his naked eyes.
"Cyrus, now it's up to you."
"You must avenge the innocent people of your hometown with your own hands."
"You will be the one cleaning up this garbage. This is also your test!"
As Jiguo Yuanyi said this, he actually sat down cross-legged, put the knife beside him, and looked indifferently at the pirates who were still standing on the deck.
The Conqueror's Haki that Tsugakuni Yoriichi had used before was only to disperse the thick fog, mainly to improve his vision, and it was not directly applied to these pirates.
Using Conqueror's Haki to stun these people and then kill them would be too gentle.
To deal with vicious pirates, you have to let them taste despair firsthand, and then send them away!
"Yes!" As soon as Tsugikuni Yoshiichi finished speaking, a voice jumped out from behind Yoshiichi. From the perspective of the pirates, at this moment, a heroic figure overlapped with the moon.
Then, it landed steadily on the deck of the pirate ship.
This is a young navy man with a strong build. He holds a big sword in both hands and is staring at the pirates with a fierce look.
Feeling the aura of the navy in front of him, Lou Winter suppressed the fear in his heart and used roars to cover up his guilty conscience:
“Are you kidding me?!”
"Do you think you can defeat us, bastard?"
"Don't underestimate us pirates!!!"
The moment Lou Winter saw Cyrus, he found a way to survive.
As long as they could control this navy, they would be able to make Tsugeki Yoriichi afraid to act rashly. Although this idea was a bit naive, in the face of Tsugeki Yoriichi's terrifying ability, capturing Cyrus in front of them and threatening Tsugeki Yoriichi had become the only way for these pirates to survive.
Lou Winter had heard some things about Yoriichi Tsugakuni and knew that there was basically no pirate who could survive under Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
"Hooa ...
Lou Winter roared, and then, regardless of his injured arm, he rushed directly towards Cyrus. At this moment, Lou Winter's will to survive outweighed the fear in his heart.
When the pirates saw their captain taking the initiative to attack, they roared and followed Lou Winter as they rushed towards Cyrus.
The surging crowd soon rushed to Cyrus.
Lou Winter quickly came in front of Cyrus and smashed his huge fist towards Cyrus' head.
"Cyrus, be careful!" Jiguo Yuanyi, who was sitting cross-legged at the bow, narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded Lou Winter the moment he made his move.
In Tsugikuni Yoriichi's transparent world, he could clearly see the power contained in Lou Winter's body. Even though he had severed one of his arms, it would not be easy for Cyrus to deal with such an opponent in his current state.
What's more, the other side has so many subordinates.
If Cyrus isn't careful, he might die here! But if Cyrus wants to become stronger, he must have this kind of life-and-death battle!
Cyrus, who originally wanted to resist, immediately changed his mind the moment he heard what Yunyi said, and immediately shaved away from the spot.
The next second after Cyrus disappeared, Lou Winter's fist slammed heavily on the deck.
“Bang!!!”
With a muffled sound, wood chips flew everywhere. Cyrus, who had dodged several meters away, took a look at the big hole on the deck that was blasted by Lou Winter, and his expression became extremely solemn.
yes!
Although Lou Winter's arm was easily cut off by Yoriichi Tsugakuni, that was Vice Admiral Yoriichi Tsugakuni of the Marine Headquarters!
It doesn't mean that Cyrus can easily defeat the opponent.
