The warship Dawn, which was owned by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, docked in the harbor of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
The people on the shore were all curious about this peculiarly shaped warship. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the big ship in the harbor.
The posture of the Post-Dawn warship is different from the ordinary warships of the Navy Headquarters. The slender warship hull and the metallic paint are rare technological products of this era.
When most people were still using wooden sailboats, the all-metal Dawn warship was a groundbreaking product. At the same time, this ship gradually became the symbol of Yuichiro Tsugakuni. As its reputation grew, the style of this ship became known to more and more people.
"That ship, that ship is Tsugikoku Yoriichi's ship!"
Someone on the coast recognized the origin of this warship, and the news that the Jigokuen warship had entered the port spread like wildfire in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
The appearance of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the Grand Admiral of the Navy, in the Kingdom of Alabasta is definitely a big deal.
Although they didn't know what Jigoku's purpose was, the moment Jigoku Yoshiichi's warship appeared in the harbor, the underground forces of the entire Alabasta Kingdom were suddenly shocked.
This summer island has a hot climate, and even on the coast, the air you breathe is warm.
Yunyi appeared at the bow of the ship in a short shirt, holding the railing with both hands and looking towards the island. He ordered the flying squirrel beside him: "Flying squirrel, send people to the island to purchase supplies and prepare to receive the criminals."
"We won't stay on this island for long. After picking up the criminals, we'll go to Judicial Island."
The purpose of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's trip this time is not just to inspect the Kingdom of Alabasta. If the power system of the Navy Headquarters is to operate smoothly, the Judicial Island must also be under his control, and there must be no mistakes in the operation of judicial functions.
However, before this, this part of power has always been in the hands of officials of the World Government. The main function of the Judicial Island is not to try criminals, but to maintain the rule of the World Government in disguise.
The Judicial Island is based on the needs of the Celestial Dragons and the member states of the World Government, not the so-called justice.
The scholar who judged O'Hara; the one who judged Tom for the Pirate King Roger.
It's not that these people have done anything evil, it's just that the Tianlong people need to judge them.
Tom took money to build a ship and was sentenced to death; O'Hara's scholars studied history and were wiped out.
But the strange thing is that after those pirates who caused trouble to one side took a walk around the Judicial Island, they were able to go to the underwater prison safely to serve their sentences.
Even for the Pirate King Roger who was publicly executed, the biggest reason why the World Government executed him was not because he was a pirate but because he tried to uncover the truth of history and go to the final island!
There are problems with the operation of Judicial Island, which is very clear to Yoshikazu Tsugakuni. At the same time, he also knows that the waters of Judicial Island are very complicated. The World Government has been deeply involved for so many years, and the internal relationships of important power organs such as the judiciary are naturally complicated.
And it was precisely because of this that he sent Mihawk to Judicial Island in advance to take charge.
Only someone of Mihawk's strength could hold down a place like that.
The power hidden in this huge prison is really too great. In the opinion of Yoshikazu Tsugikuni, it is a waste to bury a person like Warden Aizhelun in the underwater prison. Moreover, the waste of keeping those extremely vicious criminals has made the huge and bloated prison system slow down the process of the Navy Headquarters' recovery.
Those who deserve to die should be allowed to die peacefully, and those who do not deserve the death penalty should be made to work hard to atone for the sins they have committed.
Impel Down, which holds tens of thousands of criminals, is a time bomb, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni does not want to give this time bomb a chance to explode.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
After hearing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's instructions, the flying squirrel bowed to Yoriichi and then hurried away.
Jigoku Yoshiichi took a quick look at the prosperous harbor, and his observation Haki spread out, instantly covering the entire island, and he soon detected the presence of Kuzan and others.
Yunyi's figure turned into a golden stream of light and shot up into the sky. The people on the coast who did not know the truth did not see Yunyi clearly at all. They just pointed at the golden light that disappeared into the sky and talked about this strange scene.
The Holy Land of Marinchoa, between powers.
"Tsugikoku Yoshiichi left the warship and went to the island."
In the quiet hall, the low voice of Saint Marcus Maz suddenly sounded.
I don’t know what means the Five Elders used, but they were able to accurately grasp the movements of Yoriichi Tsugikuni even though they were far away in the holy land.
I think it was because there were still spies like the Five Elders in the Naval Headquarters. After Kuniyoshi took over the Naval Headquarters, he did not carry out a large-scale purge of them in the Navy. He made stabilizing people's hearts his top priority, and the matter of cleaning up the internal officers was temporarily postponed.
This also gave the Five Elders the opportunity to find out his various movements.
"Satan, take advantage of this opportunity to transfer that thing to the Kingdom of Alabasta. This is the best chance for us to kill Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
The voice of Saint Macas Maz resounded in the temple.
In the midst of power, the four Five Elders who successfully survived from the Island of Origin gathered together to discuss something.
"The fuel problem hasn't been completely resolved yet. That thing only has one chance to be used."
"Are you really not going to wait any longer? We can't wait for Yoriichi Tsugakuin to return to Bankoku and solve this problem once and for all."
Saint Satan seemed unwilling to use the thing that Saint Macas Maz mentioned. He crossed his fingers in front of him and spoke with a worried look on his face.
"Satan, do you think he will leave us time?"
"Let's not even talk about when he'll return to the World Nations now that he's become the Navy Admiral. Some of the things he's doing now have a direct impact on the World Government's rule."
"Lord Yim wants us to get rid of him before his influence spreads."
Saint Topman Vochuli also spoke up at this moment, and all the pressure was placed on Saint Satan.
The "that thing" they are talking about is a super weapon left behind by a huge kingdom hundreds of years ago. With just one strike, it can completely destroy an island.
If such a super weapon is to be used, there must be sufficient fuel. In all these years, it has only been used once, and the target destination was Judicial Island.
There is a bottomless sea pit in the sea where the Judicial Island is located. That "sinkhole" was not formed naturally, but was actually blasted out by ancient weapons.
Saint Satan, the god of science and defense, has been studying the fuel of the ancient weapon, trying to reactivate it, but the research and development of the fuel has hit a bottleneck and there has been no progress for hundreds of years.
It wasn't until the emergence of Vegapunk that this "project" saw some improvement.
Vegapunk's dream is to create a super fuel that can feed all of humanity, and his dream coincides with the ambitions of the Five Elders.
This is also one of the reasons why the World Government took such a big action after Vegapunk was taken away from Egg Island by Tsugakuin.
Now, various operations against Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the New Navy have failed one after another, and even the Five Elders have suffered casualties. The few surviving Five Elders have completely lost their patience and are planning to make a desperate move and use the last strike power of the ancient weapons.
After this use, the fuel will be completely consumed. The result is that Satan Saint will have no research materials at all, and the difficulty index of fuel research and development will increase exponentially.
This is why the Satan Saints hesitated to use that weapon.
"Satan, we can't wait any longer."
"As long as we can get rid of him, no matter what price we pay, it will be worth it!"
"Make a decision quickly!"
Saint Shepard ten Peter, along with several other companions, began to persuade Saint Satan. Saint Satan, who was full of thoughts, finally made up his mind at this time and nodded heavily.
"Then let's take action and bury the secrets of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Alabasta in the sea forever!"
After leaving the Dawn warship, Jigokuichi moved at a very fast speed. In just a few minutes, he had crossed the Kingdom of Alabasta and arrived at the palace.
Less than a week had passed since Crocodile was captured and Yoriichi Tsugikuni arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta. King Cobra, who had regained power, had taken back control of the royal palace. At the palace gate, dozens of royal guards stood on both sides, solemn and dignified.
The figure of Yuichiro Tsugakuin appeared in the square in front of the palace gate. Seeing Yuichiro walking towards the palace, the guards became alert and quickly surrounded Yuichiro Tsugakuin.
The captain of the guard at the palace gate today is a middle-aged man named Haisha. He has a square face, a full beard, and a sturdy build. The heavy armor draped over him makes his figure look even larger.
While on duty in such a hot environment, there was no fatigue in Haisha's eyes and no sweat on his face, which was a huge difference from the other guards on duty.
"Hey, stop, don't go any further."
"This is the royal palace. If you go any further, I'll consider you an enemy."
Haisha was holding a steel spear in his hand, looking like a medieval knight. Seeing Yuanyi getting closer and closer to the gate, he shouted sternly to stop him.
Yunyi glanced at the guards' attire and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He did not rely on his own strength to break in directly.
Gently smoothing his bangs, Yunyi introduced himself:
"I am Admiral Tsugekuni Yoriichi. I am here to hand over prisoners and transport Crocodile and other criminals."
"I'd like to trouble you to inform me."
"I heard that Aokiji was invited by King Cobra to be his guest? Just tell him about my arrival."
In fact, when Yoriichi introduced himself, Keisha already felt that Yoriichi Tsugakuni's face looked familiar. Although he had never seen Yoriichi Tsugakuni in person, Yoriichi's face had appeared in newspapers countless times, and the red mark on his forehead was so iconic.
Even though he didn't recognize him at first, Haisha was able to connect the face of the young man in front of him with the photo in the newspaper after careful identification.
"Marshal Tsutsumi Kuniyoshi?!"
Misa, who recognized Tsugikuni Yoriichi, couldn't help but let out a low cry. Although he was a good person, why did Yoriichi come alone to accept the prisoners without even bringing any subordinates?
But such doubts soon disappeared.
Why ask so many questions? He's just a palace guard, how could he possibly care about the Admiral of the Navy?
Although he had recognized Yunyi, he still had to go through the necessary procedures. Misa quickly came to Yunyi and said apologetically:
"Please wait a moment. I will report to the king immediately."
Haisha handed the task of reporting to his subordinates, and he led Yunyi to the small lounge beside the palace gate to wait for orders.
Yunyi was not in a hurry. He accepted Misa's kindness with a smile, without any airs of a navy marshal at all.
"Boom—"
When the guard who delivered the message returned to the palace gate, the sky above the Kingdom of Alabasta was suddenly covered with dark clouds. The thick dark clouds completely obscured the originally clear sky. At this moment when the dark clouds were pressing down, the air pressure on the island dropped a lot.
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and thunder roared in the sky.
After receiving the king's order, Haisha took Yuanyi and walked towards the palace.
On the way, Haisha also noticed the sudden change in the weather. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Haisha's face showed astonishment, and he murmured in a strange voice:
"thunderstorm?!"
"It's the first time I've seen such a scene in so many years."
"This rain will surely be heavy."
"Marshal Jiguo, please hurry up and don't get wet in the rain."
Haisha's attention was all focused on Neiyuan, and he didn't pay too much attention to the thunderclouds in the sky.
On the contrary, it was Yuichiro Tsugikuni who seemed to smell an unusual breath, and an inexplicable feeling of throbbing surged in his heart.
"What's going on?"
Yuichiro Tsugikuni didn't know why he felt this inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He suddenly stopped and looked up at the clouds above. He stared for a long time but didn't find anything unusual.
"Am I being overly suspicious?"
Yunyi frowned slightly, and then quickened his pace at Haisha's urging.
Finish your work quickly and leave quickly.
A bad feeling arose in Yunyi's heart. He wanted to finish his work quickly and return to the Marine Headquarters. He was afraid that during his absence, something unimaginable would happen in the Marine Headquarters.
Yunyi guessed that this throbbing feeling in his heart should come from the difficulties of the navy or the world.
The mysterious sixth sense of human beings
Even Ji Guoyuan couldn't figure it out for a while, but under the guidance of Haisha, the two of them soon arrived at a hall.
And at the moment when Yuichiro Tsugakuin walked into the palace, a flash of white suddenly appeared in the center of the thundercloud. The shape of this flash of white was like a human eye, quietly looking down at the Kingdom of Alabasta below.
A terrifying and violent aura was brewing rapidly in the clouds.
"Marshal Jiguo, is it really you?!"
"I didn't expect you to come in person. Excuse me! Excuse me! Why didn't you notify me in advance so I could bring someone to greet you?"
As soon as Yoriichi and Misa entered the hall, Cobra greeted him with a very enthusiastic look on his face. Inside the hall, Kuzan, Ace and the other three children were also there. When they saw Yoriichi Tsugakuin coming, they all showed some surprise on their faces.
Zephyr did not tell them that Yoriichi was coming to the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Just as Yunyi was about to say a few words to Cobra with a smile on his face, his observation Haki suddenly sensed a terrifying aura suddenly appearing above the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Not only him, even Kuzan's face froze and he quickly ran out of the temple. Yunyi had no time to pay attention to Cobra at this moment. His figure flashed and he appeared directly on the stone steps in front of the temple, looking up at the sky.
