Chapter 255: The General's Helplessness, Holy Spirit Island! (Two in One)
Beehive Island, Wang Zhi.
These two names were only a small impression in Tsugakuni Yoriichi's mind. After so many years in the pirate world, Tsugakuni Yoriichi knew very little about Beehive Island.
In fact, it is not surprising that Yuichiro Tsugikoku does not care about the "world situation".
For the Navy and the World Government, the things about God Valley and the Rocks Pirates are a "scar" that they don't want to mention. Within the Navy, even Garp, who personally experienced God Valley, is unwilling to mention the past.
After the destruction of the Rocks Pirates, his crew members embarked on their own journeys.
People like Whitebeard and Big Mom are already very powerful, and they have no loyalty to Rocks. They have their own ideas and ties, and later they also made a name for themselves on the sea.
Compared to Whitebeard and Big Mom, Wang Zhi has even greater ambitions.
After the destruction of the Rocks Pirates, Wang Zhi inherited the legacy of the Rocks Pirates, occupied the Beehive Island, and also accepted those pirates who were unwilling to leave.
Under Rocks' management, Beehive Island has long become a paradise for pirates. On the island, pirates and civilians have long been mixed together and have developed into a relatively complete social system.
Over the years, Wang Zhi has been content to be his own local emperor. His inner desires have more or less dissipated after living a luxurious life for so many years.
If you can enjoy the life you want by lying down, how many people are willing to go out to sea and fight for their lives?
Therefore, compared to the Whitebeard Pirates, which are rapidly expanding under the siege of their sons, or Big Mom, who has established her own country and embraced thousands of people, the Beehive Island, which is now governed by Wang Zhi, is somewhat less well-known.
After capturing the pirates, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni sent a message to the headquarters, asking for information about Wang Zhi and Beehive Island.
When Marshal Sengoku received the inquiry from Tsugumi Yoriichi, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked his subordinates to gather relevant information about Beehive Island and Wang Zhi and fax it to Tsugumi Yoriichi.
The Navy knew very little about Beehive Island. When Rocks was still there, the Navy had never actually landed on Beehive Island. After the Rocks Pirates were destroyed, many remnants of the pirate group escaped, and many of them gathered on Beehive Island again.
And because of Wang Zhi's presence, the navy did not wipe out all the pirates on Beehive Island.
Because Beehive Island is located in the sea area in the second half of the New World, and unlike the "young" pirate groups like the Beasts Pirates, there are many big pirates on Beehive Island where Wang Zhi is located who survived the battle of God Valley!
Moreover, Wang Zhi himself is also a super pirate with terrifying abilities. The navy does not want to waste its strength on these people. Steel Bone Kong will not do anything that is not worth the loss.
Beehive Island
"Is it actually a relic from the previous era?"
"Wang Zhi."
"If, as the intelligence suggests, they are truly great pirates on par with Whitebeard and Big Mom, it's really unrealistic to expect them to be easily swallowed up."
On the coast of Mysteria Island, Tsugumi Yoshiichi sat on the beach, looking at the information faxed from headquarters.
His subordinates have already entered the small town on the coast to gather information, and are preparing to acquire land and recruit craftsmen to build a naval branch.
As for the location of the branch, Jiguo Yuanyi didn't plan to spend much time on it, and just chose this seaport.
Mysteria Island is rich in supplies, and after their navy takes control of the entire island, the trade in this place will gradually develop, so Tsugikuni Yoriichi is not worried about the supply of supplies.
What he had to do was to understand the situation on Mysteria Island as soon as possible and establish a branch as soon as possible.
After briefly understanding the situation on Beehive Island, Jiguo Yuanyi knew that he would not be able to deal with those people for the time being.
When doing things, one must prioritize. Beehive Island is located in the second half of the New World. Even though Yoriichi Tsugakuni's Sword of Dawn has the support of the headquarters, they will go all out to wipe out the pirates on Beehive Island.
It is also difficult to change the situation of those people.
In Yoriichi's opinion, clearing out the pirates is not a difficult task.
The difficulty lies in how to prevent the people on the island from being harmed by pirates after clearing them out, so that they can live a relatively comfortable life.
Obviously, the navy cannot reach that far at the moment, so the benefits of attacking Beehive Island are equal to 0.
We must take one step at a time.
Yuichiro Tsugikuni was well aware of this.
He casually put the information in his hand beside him, and Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but let out a sigh. He put his hands behind his head, took a deep breath, and looked up at the sea.
Not far from Yoshiichiro, Mihawk was also sitting cross-legged on the beach, holding a piece of cloth in his hand, carefully wiping his long sword.
Seeing Yunyi put down the information, he couldn't help but ask: "How is it? Beehive Island, is it close?"
"What kind of person is the Wang Zhi that the pirate is calling?"
Tsugikuni Yoriichi had no intention of hiding anything from Mihawk, and told him directly about Wang Zhi's origins. When Mihawk heard that the other party had been on the same boat with Whitebeard and Big Mom, and was also a cadre under Rocks, he was slightly stunned.
Mihawk had witnessed Whitebeard's power with his own eyes, and it was hard for him to imagine what kind of person could make Whitebeard willing to become his subordinate.
"Locks?"
"I really want to meet him!"
“It’s such a pity.”
Mihawk couldn't help but mutter, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked Tsugikoku Yoriichi: "Then shall we go to Beehive Island?"
"Since we already know that there are so many pirates entrenched there, as the navy, shouldn't we clean up Beehive Island?"
"I think there should be many outstanding swordsmen in the Rocks Pirates!"
"I really want to fight those guys!"
Mihawk lowered his head as he spoke, continuing to wipe his sword. Hearing Mihawk's words full of fighting spirit, Jiguoyuan couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"No, even if we clear out the pirates on Beehive Island, we won't have the extra energy to bring Beehive Island under control."
"Wang Zhi's presence actually helps Beehive Island maintain its existing order."
"Perhaps this order is of no benefit to the people, but order is always a good thing, and it is always better than disorder."
"Leave it alone for now."
This is why Yunyi sighed. He knew that there were pirates on Beehive Island, but he couldn't take the initiative to do anything.
Mihawk was a bit surprised by Tsugakuin's handling of Beehive Island. He had thought Tsugakuin would lead his team into an attack without delay after hearing about this.
I didn't expect that Yuichiro Tsugikoku didn't have it.
However, after a moment's thought, Mihawk understood what Tsugikuni Yoriichi had said. Unless they cleared Beehive Island and sent the rescued civilians to the area currently controlled by their navy,
Otherwise, Beehive Island, as the former "symbol" of the Rocks Pirates, would definitely be snatched away by other pirates.
However, relocating refugees is not an easy task. If there are fewer people, this matter may be accomplished with the efforts of the navy.
If there are so many people, which country would be willing to accept these refugees of unknown origin?
A large number of refugees will inevitably impact the country's current political situation. No kingdom in the world will bring such trouble upon itself.
"It's really not easy for you!"
"Even if you become a general, you still don't have any freedom at all."
Mihawk glanced at Yoriichi Tsugikoku who was looking up at the sky, and suddenly sighed.
Mihawk's life goal is simple and pure. He won't even get involved in such troublesome things.
"General!" At this moment, Ferland, who went to the town to investigate, shouted and trotted towards Ji Guoyuan.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi and Mihawk turned their heads and saw Ferrand holding a roll of paper of something unknown in his hand, and excitedly coming to Yoriichi.
"General, I have already communicated with the mayor."
"He and the people of the town will fully support our naval construction branch."
"but."
Hearing this "but", Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and Mihawk looked at each other and knew that things would not go so smoothly.
"But this port cannot be used by us."
"Let us figure it out on our own."
Hearing this answer, Jiguo Yuanyi remained expressionless and nodded slightly to show his approval.
This is actually a very normal thing. The port here is so small that only a few ships can dock there.
Once Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's warship, the Aurora, stopped, the townspeople's fishing boats had no place to park.
As mentioned before, the people on this island have a relatively primitive lifestyle, and the coastal residents rely on fishing for their survival.
It is no exaggeration to say that ports are life for the people.
"Is this the only request?"
"What about the land? What's the purchase price?"
Hearing Jiguo Yuanyi's question, Ferland immediately showed a bright smile on his face and said to Jiguo Yuanyi:
"General, this is great news!"
"Except for the town, and within a kilometer radius of the town, you are not allowed to build a naval branch. You can build it anywhere you want."
"The wasteland on this island is at our disposal. There is no so-called title deed."
"In the words of the mayor, the entire island is nature's precious treasure to mankind!"
No charge.
This was actually good news. Jigoku Yoshiichi felt that the mayor of this small town was quite reasonable.
However, what Yunyi didn't know was that it wasn't that the mayor was so reasonable, but that the people who had suffered from the invasion of pirates had a natural "slave mentality" towards outsiders.
When the mayor heard that Tsugumi Yuichiro and his companions had dealt with a group of "disobedient" people as soon as they arrived on the island, he immediately treated them differently.
After living in the New World for so many years, the old mayor would not be so foolish as to think that the navy is the embodiment of "justice".
Just because their lives are primitive doesn’t mean their brains are primitive too!
Yuichiro Tsuchikuni had no intention of going to the town to express his gratitude to the mayor in person. Yuichiro Tsuchikuni did not like or was good at using personal connections.
For him, only those who are in the same industry are partners. As for others, it is enough to maintain the most basic relationship.
Tsugikoku Yuichi's site selection was carried out very hastily.
Since the port here is not usable, let’s open up a new port!
Ji Guoyuan was seen with a domineering aura surging from him, and he flew directly into the sky. He took a quick look at the overall picture of the island, and then saw Ji Guoyuan quickly draw out his long sword and slash at an uninhabited cliff.
The terrifying battle record sank directly into the mountain wall and disappeared without a trace.
He quickly fell back to the ground, and then, in front of Ferland's astonished gaze, Jiguo Yuanyi swung a knife horizontally towards the distant mountain wall.
In Ferrand's eyes, Ji Guoyuanyi just swung a knife.
But after a loud bang, the mountain wall in the distance turned into countless tiny pieces of rubble and soil, and flew directly into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, a flat open space appeared in Ferland's eyes. On one side of the open space was the open sea, and on the other side was a neatly cut cliff.
The open space is nearly ten thousand square meters, and the cliff stretches for a hundred meters.
When Ferrand saw this scene, which was his first time going out to sea with Ji Guoyuan, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Seeing his loss of composure, Mihawk gently patted his shoulder and reminded him, "The site has been chosen. Let's speed up the recruitment of craftsmen."
Mihawk was not surprised at all by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's "operation". It was not the first time he had seen Tsugakuni Yoshiichi "perform" such a thing as a thousand strikes with one sword.
"ah?"
“Yes, yes!”
Ferrand came to his senses, straightened his back, looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with eyes full of longing and enthusiasm, and then ran quickly towards the town.
The commotion caused by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi before also attracted a lot of people's attention. At this moment, many people came out of the town to see what happened.
When they noticed that a section of the mountain was missing, everyone was shocked.
And later when they faced the navy, they became even more enthusiastic.
The news that the navy had arrived on Mysteria Island and was starting to build a branch quickly spread throughout the island. In order to speed up the construction of the branch, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi spent a lot of money recruiting people.
However, the reality is that even though Yoshikazu Tsugakuni tried to mobilize as many people as possible on the island to work, although there were many people who responded, there were very few experienced craftsmen.
The vast majority of people can only do simple hard labor, which is called "laboring".
Without high-level craftsmen, the construction speed will naturally be slow.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had no intention of waiting patiently for the completion of the branch construction. He left some experienced navy officers on the island to promote the construction. At the same time, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi also led a team out to sea to search for pirates while familiarizing himself with the surrounding situation in advance to find out if there were any islands in this sea area that were not recorded by the navy.
And this investigation indeed allowed Yuichiro Tsugikuni to find an unusual island!
This is an island formed around a volcano.
In the center of the island is a crater with white smoke rising from it. The crater rises straight into the sky, and there is a circle of white snow around the crater.
The volcanic embers nourished the land, resulting in dense green vegetation covering the entire island.
On the coast, just as Tsugikuni Yoriichi's warship approached, Yoriichi saw some huge fruits hanging on some trees on the shore.
With his Observation Haki sweeping across the island, Yoriichi Tsugakuni immediately realized that there were many powerful creatures on the island. Judging from their aura, they were obviously not human.
"The primeval forest?"
"It seems like we've arrived at some extraordinary place!"
"The breath of those creatures"
“So strong!”
