I can finally take off my crudely made animal skin coat.
The mayor, Ekobai Oguli, arranged a guest room for Tsugukuni Yoshiichi and invited him to stay. Yoshiichi didn't refuse the offer. After taking a general look at the current world situation, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi was not in a hurry to reconnect with the new navy.
His appearance and visual age are now very different from before. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid everyone in this world has already thought he is dead.
This is not a bad thing for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, as it allows him to move from the light to the dark.
And more importantly, the new navy seems to be running quite well without him. If he appears among the nations, he will probably be noticed by someone with ulterior motives at the first moment.
With this information gap, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was able to secretly find out what he wanted to know.
I think after learning of his death, the defenses of the holy land would become loose.
This is a very good opportunity for Yoriichi Tsugakuni. His understanding of the Celestial Dragons is still not enough. At Yoriichi Tsugakuni's level, the Five Elders are just targets pushed to the front by the Celestial Dragons.
Yunyi knew very little about what specific abilities Im, who was hiding behind them, possessed.
He wanted to thoroughly investigate what was on the holy land, what kind of existence was Im hiding behind the scenes, and whether the ancient weapons they controlled were stored on the holy land?
Rested for a night.
The next morning, Eikobel Oliva knocked on Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's door.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan opened his eyes, he quickly looked towards the door, then quickly stood up and walked to the door.
The door opened slightly, and Ekobai Oliva's angular, square face appeared in Tsugumi Yoshiichi's sight.
"Mr. Jiguo, excuse me for disturbing you."
"My grandma has prepared breakfast for you, would you like to eat together?"
"Grandpa Oguli got up early in the morning and asked people to help prepare the boat for going out to sea."
"If you're in a hurry, you can go out to sea in the afternoon!"
"I'm very familiar with the waters near the island and can serve as your navigator and guide."
A simple smile appeared on Aikobel Oliva's face. If someone didn't know him, they would probably be easily fooled by his smile.
"Excuse me."
Yoriichi opened the door and spoke politely to Ekobel Oliva.
Although Oliva has now technically become his subordinate, people still need to show minimum mutual respect when getting along with each other.
Yuichi Tsuchikuni could feel the enthusiasm of Mayor Aikobel's family, and it was very necessary to maintain basic courtesy.
"That's the well over there. You can use the water yourself."
"I'll go over first."
"Excuse me."
Aikobai Oliva pointed to a well in the yard, bowed slightly to Ji Guoyuan, and then walked towards the living room.
The residence of the mayor Aikebai Oguli is a rare courtyard house. The low house where Ji Guoyuan lives is not in the same house as the low house where his family lives.
The buildings in this town are actually not "advanced". Looking around, there are only bungalows. It is hard to imagine that such a town is a relic from the era of a huge kingdom.
Jiguo Yuanyi has been to the Golden City on Sky Island; he has also seen the ancient ruins on Egg Island.
Compared with those places, this town looks really simple and has no sense of technology at all.
Looking at the tall figure of Ekber Oliva leaving, Jigoku Yoshiichi suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Oliva, are the mayor, his wife, and you the only three living in this house?"
"Where are your parents?"
Aikebaier Oliva is in his early thirties and is the grandfather and grandson of Aikebaier Oguli, but is there something missing between these two generations?
Now that he had decided to treat Oliva as his subordinate, it was very necessary to understand his family relationship.
As he left, Ekobel Oliva paused, then slowly turned around and looked at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. After staring at him for a long time, he finally sighed and replied:
"To be honest, sir, my parents ran away from home."
"They couldn't stand the isolated life and had their own pursuits. They went to sea when I was young." Aikebaier Oliva's face showed reminiscence and nostalgia as he spoke.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi carefully sensed the other party's emotional fluctuations and nodded to show his understanding:
"Feel sorry."
"After returning to the New Navy, I think you can use the New Navy's network to find the whereabouts of your parents."
"Although I know the chances are slim, it's still hope, isn't it?"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi said a few words to comfort him, but Ekobai Oliva did not answer. He bowed and then walked towards the living room, leaving Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's sight.
Yunyi had no intention of staying on this island for long.
After breakfast, Aikobai Oliva said goodbye to his grandparents and walked towards the beach with Ji Guoyuan.
Pluto is a mountain town. To reach the seaside, one needs to cross the high mountains and dense forests. Over the years, the townspeople have already opened up a mountain road, which is not difficult to walk on. On the way, Jiguo Yuanyi and Ekobel Oliva had the leisure to chat and enjoy the scenery:
"Oliva, is it okay to leave your grandparents at home and go to sea with me?"
"After joining the new navy, it may not be easy to come back."
"Although the management system of the new navy is not strict, everyone who joins the new navy will lose a certain degree of freedom."
"If you choose to go back now, I won't blame you."
Pluto Town was getting farther and farther away, and Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and Oliva had already reached the top of the mountain. On one side of the mountain was the mountain city, and on the other side was the sea.
The two of them were on a small platform on the top of the mountain, from where they could see the entire view of the mountain city.
Oliva stopped and looked towards the mountain city, revealing some reluctance.
"Going back?"
"Mr. Jiguo, since I have decided to follow you, I will never regret it."
Oliva shook his head, looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and spoke with a firm expression.
"Your grandparents are already quite old, and it would be inconvenient if there's no one to take care of them."
"This time you leave, maybe it will be the last time you see them both."
"Have you really made up your mind?"
Yunyi could feel the emotions surging in Oliva's heart. Although Oliva's strength was outstanding, he really wanted to introduce such an outstanding young man to the new navy.
This sea is extremely cruel. Even someone as strong as Oliva may not be able to live a peaceful life.
Moreover, if Tsugumi Yoshiichi wanted to sneak into the holy land, it would be easier for him if no one followed him.
Although Oliva cannot be considered a burden, it is impossible for Yunyi to take him to the holy land, so it will take some time to settle him down.
Yuanyi didn't know Oliva very well, so this was actually just a test for him.
"Are you worried about my grandpa and grandma's retirement?!"
"I'm not worried about that. Grandpa is the mayor and has great prestige. Too many people have benefited from his kindness. Even if I leave, the neighbors nearby will help take care of me."
"It doesn't matter if we can't meet. I can talk to Grandpa on the phone from time to time. I won't be lonely after all."
"Mr. Jiguo, I have made up my mind."
Oliva's words made Tsugikoku Yoshiichi a little concerned. He glanced at the small package carried by Ekobel Oliva, but Tsugikoku Yoshiichi did not sense the presence of a Den Den Mushi.
Call and chat? How to call and chat?
Oliva saw a hint of doubt on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's face, and he clapped his hands in sudden realization, then explained with a smile:
"Oh, I don't think I've yet introduced you to the abilities of our Ekobai clan."
"Mr. Yunyi, the Ekobai people have their own unique way of communicating with each other."
“As long as we have a common understanding, we can communicate no matter how far apart we are.”
Ekobai Oliva's words made Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's pupils shrink slightly.
What kind of racial talent is this?! A humanoid Den Den Mushi? Are your ancestors from the Zhongshan clan?!
But after a little thought, Jiguo Yuanyi no longer had any doubts in his heart.
Yes, they are the same race left over from the ancient kingdom period. There is no reason why Xiong and Abel can possess the so-called racial talents while he, Ekobai Oliva, does not.
Although this kind of communication ability cannot enhance Ekber Oliva's individual strength, in some ways, this ability is actually very terrifying.
The new navy can recruit a large number of people from the Ekober clan, and the communication between the headquarters and branches will no longer need to rely on Den Den Mushi, which can greatly increase efficiency.
Moreover, it does not rely on things like Den Den Mushi, and its concealment is high enough to be difficult to detect.
Thinking of this, Yunyi couldn't help but sigh softly.
We can't recruit soldiers on this island at this stage, let's talk about it later.
It took Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and Oliva nearly an hour to cross the mountains and reach the beach. Their speed was not fast for strong men of their strength. Yoshiichi was not impatient either. The preparations for the long voyage would not be so fast, and if they went too early, they would just have to wait.
Yuichiro didn't even think about flying with Oliva directly, as it would be too conspicuous.
When the two of them arrived at the shore, a small boat had already been pushed into the sea by the efforts of a strong man over ten meters tall.
Oliva greeted those men familiarly, and after a brief exchange, he quickly came to Yoriichi's side, and then handed a recording pointer to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
"Mr. Jiguo, this is a permanent record pointer to my homeland."
"We're ready. We can actually set off now, but there will be some wind and waves. The sea conditions will be slightly better in the afternoon."
"It's up to you."
Oliva had a full and comprehensive understanding of his own identity, and actually gave the decision on the sailing time to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Although this is a very small matter, it can be seen that this seemingly silly guy is actually a smart guy with high emotional intelligence.
"Thank you."
"Then let's go out to sea now."
“Leave early, arrive early.”
"By the way, what is the hometown you mentioned?"
Jiguo Yuanyi took the permanent progress pointer handed to him by the other party, took a look at the direction the pointer pointed, and then asked Oliva in front of him.
"My homeland is the holy land occupied by traitors. Malinjoa."
"That was originally where the Lunalia clan lived. We used to live there too!"
Things that surprised Tsugikoku Yoshiichi one after another, after hearing this answer, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi rubbed the permanent record pointer in his hand and looked at Oliva with deep eyes:
"Holy Land?"
"Then let's head towards the Holy Land."
The two men got on the boat. After Oliva got on the boat, he quickly went to the cabin, raised the anchor, lowered the sails, and the small boat slowly sailed away from the harbor.
Oliva was a skilled sailor. He didn't even need Ji Guoyuan's help with things like raising the sails and steering the ship. He completed all the work of operating the ship by himself.
Ji Guoyuan noticed his dedication and couldn't help but sigh at the boy's excellence.
Putting aside his abilities in other areas, Qin's appearance was completely different from the "scheming" feeling he had displayed before.
When Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his new subordinate Oliva left the island.
The negotiation among the top forces in the world has reached the most intense stage.
Cake Island.
In the large conference room of the new naval headquarters.
Zephyr, Ichigo, Mihawk and Kuzan sat on one side, opposite the large conference table. Captain Shanks and Vice Captain Beckman sat one in the main seat and the other on the side. The rest of the Red Hair Pirates elites stood behind the two, looking at the new navy members across the conference table without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the conference room seemed a little solemn.
"Mr. Zefa, we cannot accept this way of cooperation."
"We, the Red Hair Pirates, are helping you reclaim the islands occupied by Mr. Oden and Wang Zhi, but we don't have the right to manage them. This doesn't benefit us at all."
"A mere two billion berries, is that like hiring us, the Red Hair Pirates, to work for you?!"
"Are you underestimating us?"
Shanks put his hands on the conference table, sitting in a relaxed posture, as if he didn't feel any pressure from the new navy's strong men. He smiled and rejected Zephyr's cooperation plan.
The cooperation that Zefa mentioned actually means that he wants to spend 2 billion Beli to hire the Red Hair Pirates to help them take over Beehive Island and other four islands occupied by the enemy.
500 million per island? That's like asking a redhead to work for nothing.
Red-Haired Shanks would naturally not agree to such a cooperation plan.
"Haha, Shanks, if you have any requests, just let me know."
In negotiations, it is common practice to ask for a high price and then pay a low price.
Zephyr naturally knew that Red-Haired Shanks wouldn't be so foolish as to accept his cooperation proposal. Wasn't this something that needed to be discussed?!
"We, the Red Hair Pirates, can form a strategic partnership with your new navy."
"The island we captured will naturally be controlled by our Red Hair Pirates!"
"We will not join forces with those forces to attack your New Navy. This is the greatest sincerity we, the Red Hair Pirates, have shown."
