Chapter 238: Encirclement and Suppression, an Action That Shocks the World! (Two-in-One)
On an unknown island in the first half of the New World.
"Bululu~~"
As Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and his crew left Fishman Island, a Den Den Mushi (a communication device) suddenly began to ring. Soon, a hand pressed against the receiver, then slowly lifted it and placed it to his ear.
"Have you left yet?"
"That's the destination!? How is that possible?"
"Yeah! I understand. I'll tell Dad."
After a while, the receiver was put back on the back of the Den Den Mushi, and a figure opened the door and left the room.
The coast of the island.
Next to the beach, colorful coral reefs can be seen faintly in the blue sea water. As the waves ripple, the sea water washes the sand on the shore.
In the nearby woods, sunlight filtered through the leaves, and the sea breeze rustled the leaves, echoing across the coast. In the shadows of the trees, a group of people were camping and barbecuing on the shore. As they clinked glasses, the aroma of wine, mixed with the aroma of barbecue, wafted far into the distance.
Edward Newgate was smiling as he sat cross-legged on the camping blanket, his back against a huge coconut tree, surrounded by his sons, drinking happily.
During the feast, the young Lakyo performed an inexplicable dance around the campfire amid the cheers of his companions. Although his twisting body had no aesthetic appeal at all, it still drew applause from his companions.
Looking at the children happily drinking and eating meat, White Beard couldn't help but laugh, then picked up the wine glass and took a few gulps.
The malt beer paired with the fruit charcoal barbecue carefully prepared by Sachi has an indescribable wonderful flavor.
The warm atmosphere of the banquet also made Whitebeard's heart unusually peaceful.
The reason he went out to sea was to pursue a life like this. He could sail freely on the sea, and when he got tired, he could find a beautiful island to stay for a while, and have a meal with his family. At this moment, Whitebeard felt that his life was complete.
Turning his head and looking at the bright sea, Whitebeard squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying this rare harmony and tranquility.
"Dad! Something happened!"
“Dad!”
Just as Whitebeard was about to take a short lunch break after eating and drinking, a shout came from afar. The crew members who were immersed in the cheerful atmosphere stopped at this moment and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.
"Hey, Marco, what are you yelling about again?"
"You really ruined the atmosphere of the party!"
Sachi was standing next to a grill. Seeing Marco running over quickly, he placed the grilled meat on a tray beside him and complained to Marco.
"Ha~ Sorry, Thatch."
Marco passed by Thatch, grabbed a few skewers of barbecue, and then quickly ran to Whitebeard's side. While eating, he said to Whitebeard incoherently:
"Something happened, Dad."
"Navy. Fishman Island. Open."
Marco was chewing meat while talking about the information he had just learned.
Others couldn't hear what Marco was saying, but Whitebeard looked at Marco in surprise and asked, "Are you saying that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi left Fishman Island?"
"And the direction isn't back to Dressrosa, but to Redchiled Island?"
"That place. I remember it."
When Whitebeard heard the name of Reedchiled Island, he stroked his chin and thought. The name sounded very familiar to him. It seemed that his son had mentioned it to him before, but he had forgotten it for a while.
"Dad, it's Kaido, the Beasts Pirates and their territory."
At this moment, Marco finally swallowed the meat. Seeing that Whitebeard seemed to have forgotten, he immediately reminded him.
"Oh! Yes."
"After that kid escaped from Jiguoyuan's men, he went to Lidqiled Island."
"What you just said is that after leaving Fishman Island, Kuniyoshi's destination was Redchiled Island?"
Whitebeard's expression became serious, and he sat up slightly and asked Marco. In response to Whitebeard's question, Marco nodded heavily and said excitedly, "The Navy should be planning to take action against the Beasts Pirates."
"Didn't we receive news a few days ago that several warships from the Navy Headquarters had quietly left?"
"Among them is the ship of the naval hero Garp! But so far, there have been no reports of sightings of Garp's ships in the first half of the Grand Line."
"In my opinion, Garp has probably entered the New World."
"I think the Navy's deployment of Garp and Yoriichi Tsugikuni is definitely a big move!"
The Whitebeard Pirates have been deeply rooted in the New World for so many years and have become extremely powerful. Although Whitebeard himself is a man without any ambitions and just wants to live a peaceful life with his family, he cannot resist the dreams and aspirations of his sons!
Under the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates, many things are done very conveniently. Whitebeard doesn't have to worry about things like the intelligence network himself, his sons will report to him the most interesting things at the moment.
In today's world, apart from the great pirates active in the New World, what else is more eye-catching than Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Sword of Dawn Marine Branch and the Marine Headquarters?
A long time ago, the Whitebeard Pirates had been paying attention to the movements of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the Marine Headquarters.
And the movement route of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who appeared on Fishman Island, was also known to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi hadn't considered this matter enough. Fishman Island was, after all, the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. How could they truly have no control over Fishman Island? While it was true that the Whitebeard Pirates didn't interfere with King Neptune's rule, they knew every bit of information about Fishman Island.
After all, it is an important island connecting the first half of the Grand Line and the New World. Whitebeard's sons will not let go of such an important intelligence base.
"Big move?"
"As for Garp and Yoriichi Tsugakuni, if it were just the two of them, Kaido would have fallen into their hands if he didn't know the situation!"
"Gulala!"
"Over the years, the navy's reach has become increasingly extended!"
"That won't do!"
After learning this information, Whitebeard thought for a moment and couldn't help laughing. After a while, the smile faded and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Dad, what do you mean?" Marco asked with his eyes lighting up when he heard Whitebeard say that.
"The Navy went too far."
"If we let this go on, we don't know when they'll turn their attention to us."
"We need to make them behave themselves!"
"Get ready, we're setting sail!"
As he spoke, Whitebeard grabbed the Murong Yunqiri that was placed aside, then stood up and shouted to everyone.
The crew members were stunned at first when they heard Whitebeard's order, and then they all shouted excitedly.
"We have to make the navy more sensible! The New World is our pirate territory!"
"Let's go meet that Tsugikuni Yoriichi! That guy is causing trouble in the New World, and I've been annoyed with him for a long time!"
Amid the cheers of the crew, the Whitebeard Pirates quickly began to prepare for sailing. At the same time that Whitebeard received this information, the Beasts Pirates on Redchiled Island also sensed something unusual.
The reason is very simple, that is, in recent times, no foreign pirates have come to this Readchiled Island.
As one of the three islands after Fishman Island and one of the gateways to the New World, Redchiled Island sees foreign pirates arriving almost daily. However, up to now, no new pirates have arrived in nearly ten days, and several pirate teams that have been sent out have also disappeared.
This unusual aura made the leaders of the Beasts Pirates feel a little uneasy.
In the castle in the center of Reedchiled Island, Jin, holding a sea chart, led several cadres to knock on Kaido's door. The drunk Kaido opened the door and saw Jin, and said with a smile:
"It turned out to be Jhin!"
"Why are you here?"
"Want to drink with me?"
Upon hearing this, the cadres behind Jin looked at each other in surprise. When Kaido was drunk, he was just as unreliable as he appeared to be.
"Brother Kaido, there is something I need to tell you."
Jin said in a serious tone. Hearing his serious tone, Kaido sobered up a little. He moved aside and led Jin and others into the room.
Kaido's room is very large, with the office and bedroom integrated into one, and the decorations are very luxurious, but Kaido is not interested in such things. The room is filled with wine bottles, and the whole room is full of the smell of wine.
Jin walked into the room and looked at the mess. He couldn't help but sigh, kicked away a few bottles, and sat down cross-legged on the floor. While spreading out the sea chart, he said to Kaido, "Brother Kaido, your room is too messy."
"Hahahaha! Don't worry about it, Jhin!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Kaido walked to the side of Jinn and sat down. Hearing his brother's complaints, he laughed and didn't care at all.
Jin didn't say anything more. After spreading out the sea chart, he said to Kaido:
"Brother Kaido, it seems we are being targeted."
Hearing this, Kaido was stunned at first, and then he laughed out loud: "Being targeted? Who is so blind? Hahahaha!"
In Kaido's view, Jin is now like telling a joke.
After all this time, the entire Redchiled Island has nearly 10,000 pirates, including dozens of officers, all of whom are high-ranking pirates with bounties exceeding 500 million. With such power and strength, Jin said they were being targeted? No wonder Kaido laughed.
However, Jin was not as optimistic as Kaido. After spreading out the sea chart, he pointed to the sea area east of Reedchiled Island and said to Kaido:
"Here, 70 nautical miles from Redchiled Island, we have completely lost control of the area."
"We've sent out several teams, but there's no news from them."
"I don't think it was an accident."
"Brother Kaido, I've already made inquiries. That person hasn't appeared since he went to Fishman Island, and we haven't been able to track his whereabouts during this period."
Jhin raised his head and looked at Kaido, his eyes full of solemnity.
"That person!" The person in Jin's mouth was Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who once destroyed their Beasts Pirates and forced them to flee.
After the defeat in Migo Town, the Beasts Pirates, who had rebuilt their own power, kept a close eye on the movements of Dressrosa.
The Beasts Pirates knew about it when Tsugakuni Yoriichi was "cruising" in the New World with Tiger and others, and they had been keeping an eye on it since then. However, after Tsugakuni Yoriichi went to Fishman Island, they could no longer control Tsugakuni Yoriichi's whereabouts.
After hearing this, Kaido sobered up a lot.
Kaido has always been quite wary of the navy, especially after the defeat in Migo Town, and especially of the legendary navy, Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
"What do you mean?" Kaido's face darkened and he looked at Jin.
"It might be coming towards us!"
In the waters east of Reedchiled Island, more and more warships are gathering.
On the vast sea, there are more than 20 large warships parked scattered here and there. These warships were designed by Vegapunk and built by the Navy Headquarters with the highest specifications. Each ship can carry nearly 300 crew members.
If the ship's warehouse is fully loaded, it can support all the people on the ship to go out to sea for a month without having to go on the road for supplies.
At this time, all the warships parked on the sea had folded their sails and dropped anchor, as if they were waiting for something.
The main ship leading these warships is a relatively small dog-head warship. Compared with the other huge and majestic large warships, this main ship looks much smaller.
On the deck of the Dog-Head warship, Garp was lying on the railing beside the ship, holding a fishing rod in one hand, staring at the sea with boredom.
"Hasn't that kid Tsugikoku Yoshiichi arrived yet?"
"If we keep waiting like this, the other party will probably notice it."
"If you go back on your word, all our efforts during this period will be wasted!"
Capu held his chin and said in a deep voice.
Behind him, Zefa, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and with a neatly combed back hair, looked gentle and refined, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea.
Hearing what Garp said, Zephyr couldn't help but show a trace of worry in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "They contacted me four days ago. They have successfully entered the new world."
"Based on the speed of the Dawn, it should arrive in the next few days."
"I just don't know if this guy has driven the warship to its maximum speed."
"He wasted too much time on Fishman Island, and we arrived too early."
Zefa sighed lightly, then turned around and looked towards the direction of Readchiled Island.
In the field of vision, a small black dot suddenly appeared above the blue sky.
Zefa noticed the black spot, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the black spot with all his strength.
"What's wrong, Zephyr?" Garp glanced at Zephyr, and as if he had noticed something, he turned his head and looked in the direction Zephyr was looking. When he saw the black spot at the edge of the sky, Garp's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately shouted to Bogart who was not far away:
"Bogart, telescope!"
As he spoke, Bogart had already hurried to Garp's side and handed the telescope to Garp. Garp raised the telescope and just looked at the black spot in the distance.
At this moment, they saw in the sky a black birdman in the shape of a pterosaur. It was carrying flames on its back and was hovering in the air, flapping its wings, looking towards the sea where their warships were gathering.
"That guy is"
"King of the Beasts Pirates!"
Garp recognized the form of Jin and immediately threw the telescope in his hand towards Bogart beside him, and then immediately growled: "Zefar!"
As he spoke, Garp quickly tore off his cloak, took two steps to Zephyr's front, and jumped lightly. At the same time, Zephyr behind him was already punching and gathering strength, and the lavender shirt on his upper body was already stretched tight by his strong muscles.
"boom!!!!"
The next second, Zefa's fist hit the bottom of Garp's military boots directly. The next second, a "thunder" was heard on the deck of the Doghead warship, and the entire warship began to tilt sharply. At the same time, Garp's figure had turned into a white stream of light and suddenly disappeared on the deck.
“???”
At the horizon, Jin, who came to investigate the situation, had already discovered the unusual movements of the navy in the distance. When Garp and Zephyr took action, he had already seen the other party's actions clearly through the monocular on his eyes.
The moment he saw the figures of Garp and Zephyr, Jhin realized that something was wrong. He spread his wings and flew quickly towards the direction of Lidchiled Island.
As Jhin was fleeing at a high speed, a thunder suddenly sounded behind him. He didn't dare to look back to see what happened. The flames behind Jhin suddenly disappeared, and his flying speed suddenly increased a bit, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
That is, the next second after Jin disappeared, a ball of compressed and terrifying domineering aura suddenly flashed above his original position. The powerful domineering aura instantly sank into the sea surface, causing waves tens of meters high.
In mid-air, Garp's body slowly slowed down and he began to fall slowly while maintaining the posture of swinging his fist. Looking at Jhin who quickly disappeared from his sight, his face was full of gloom.
On the deck of the Dog-Headed Warship, Zefa, holding a telescope, frowned when he saw Garp's failure and shouted to Bogart:
"We've been noticed by the Beasts Pirates. Notify everyone and weigh anchor."
"We can't wait. Move towards Reedchiled Island and prepare for the attack!"
Zefa made a prompt decision and gave the order. Bogart straightened his body, saluted and hurriedly left the deck in response to Zefa, the semi-retired former admiral.
Not long after he left, Garp returned to the deck with his moon steps and said to Zefa in a deep voice, "Let him get away. We can't wait any longer, Zefa."
As soon as Garp finished speaking, he heard a "broadcast" from his dog-head warship. Zefa's orders were passed down layer by layer, and the surrounding warships also weighed anchor and began to adjust their courses for assembly.
Seeing this scene, Karp also showed a bright smile on his face.
"I don't need you to remind me, Garp!"
Zephyr had a faint smile on his face, and suddenly he missed the days when he was young and fought side by side with Garp, Sengoku and others.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"It seems that even though you've been relegated to the second line, your nose for fighter planes hasn't diminished."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amidst laughter, the Dog-Headed warship began to turn, quickly passed many other warships, and accelerated towards the Readchiled Island. At the same time, the other warships also raised their sails and followed behind the Dog-Headed warship.
A naval fleet marched towards Readchiled Island in a mighty force.
70 nautical miles can be easily crossed by these warships in just over an hour.
Jin quickly returned to Redchiled Island and reported the situation to Kaido. When Kaido heard that the people who came were Garp and Zephyr, a serious look flashed across his face, and then he directly ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle.
run?
Why run?
"Leave Zephyr and Garp on Redchiled Island! Let the navy know how powerful our Beasts Pirates are!!!"
In the square of Reedchiled Island, a pirate held a loudspeaker and mobilized the pirates gathered there.
Cheers and howls instantly resounded throughout the entire Reedchiled Island.
