The golden flames covering the entire sea dyed the night sky golden.
The scene here also attracted the attention of many people. Many residents on the neighboring islands also noticed the abnormality of this battlefield and walked to the windowsill to look at the distant sky.
Even the navy far away on Cocoa Island noticed the abnormality in the sky in the distance. The navy on duty reported what they observed to the higher authorities, which eventually alarmed the Navy Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru who were resting.
Upon hearing the report, Kuzan hurried out of the cabin and looked out to the distant sea, but he could only see a golden hue where the sea and sky met. He flew up to the observation deck and, with the help of a telescope, the scene he saw became a little clearer.
"Fire?"
"Extremely large fire!"
"What is that place?"
Kuzan looked for a while, put down the telescope, and asked the lookout beside him.
"Report, there are quite a few islands in that direction. Baking Island, Wheat Island, Cream Island, Cake Island and other islands are all in that direction."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Kuzan couldn't help but frown. The islands mentioned by the lookout were all islands under the control of the BIG MOM Pirates.
Their navy did not take any action tonight. Normally, such large-scale fires should not have occurred on those islands.
Could it be that the Big Mom Pirates did this themselves? What are they planning to do?
Kuzan was secretly guessing in his heart that the fire of unknown cause that occurred in the territory of Wan Guo made Kuzan feel a little anxious.
For a military commander, the most troublesome thing is the unexpected scene on the battlefield.
The unknown on the battlefield often means huge risks.
“How terrifying—”
Just as Kuzan was thinking about whether to send someone over to check it out, a long sigh suddenly sounded from the deck.
Looking down at the deck slightly, Kuzan found Borsalino wearing a bright yellow silk pajamas, standing on the side of the ship and looking at the scene in the distance.
Borsalino said "how scary", but Kuzan could not sense any fear in Borsalino's tone.
The tone of emotion is more serious.
"General Borsalino, what do you think?"
"Should we send out a patrol to see what's going on there?"
"If I'm not mistaken, something might have happened to Wan Guo."
Kuzan's body on the watchtower turned into a ball of ice mist and fell back up in an instant. The ice mist floated lightly to Borsalino's side and condensed into a new body.
Kuzan asked, seeking Borsalino's opinion.
His troops have joined forces with those led by Borsalino, and now he can discuss many things with Borsalino.
It seems that half of Kuzan's say in the naval front was divided by Borsalino, but in fact, the attitude of Borsalino, the naval admiral, was a bit "lazy" in Kuzan's eyes.
For some things, he would only express his opinions if Kuzan asked him.
If Kuzan didn't ask, Borsalino would be happy to mind his own business.
Kuzan's workload has increased instead of decreased.
However, for Kuzan, although it is a bit hard, it is obviously the best thing to have someone to discuss with when encountering big things.
"How do I see it?"
“It’s no use no matter how I look at it—”
“You have to ask those people what they think!”
Borsalino tilted his head slightly, glanced at Kuzan beside him, then smiled bitterly and raised his chin towards the night sky.
Kuzan felt a little confused when he heard this, raised his head and looked in the direction of Borsalino's gaze.
However, the sky was pitch black and Kuzan didn't notice anything.
Just as Kuzan was about to ask Borsalino what he meant, the air flow suddenly changed slightly.
Countless auras suddenly appeared within Kuzan's observation Haki's perception range.
Staring intently at the night sky, Kuzan couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
After a while, the clouds above the harbor of Cocoa Island suddenly broke apart, and starlight shone down.
With the help of the sparse starlight, a slender warship appeared above the harbor.
Kuzan looked at the familiar warship and couldn't help but murmured, "It's the new navy!"
"Why did they suddenly appear here?"
Kuzan felt a little doubtful, but he soon thought of something. He looked at the "golden belt" on the horizon where the sea and the sky met, and had a vague guess in his mind.
The warship Dawn suddenly appeared above Cocoa Island. On the coast, the navy's sharp alarms soon broke through the silent night sky.
The sailors who were on high alert rushed out of the cabin and onto the deck after hearing the alarm. Someone noticed the warship USS Dawn in the sky. When the sailors saw the warship, they felt a sinking feeling inexplicably in their hearts.
The sudden appearance of the new navy in the middle of the night might be a sign of ill intentions.
Are the "partners" who fought side by side a few days ago going to become rivals fighting for life and death tonight?
The sailors didn't know and could only look at the warships above with vigilance.
What puzzled the navy was that even after the Dawn appeared for a long time, the enemy showed no signs of attacking. The headquarters navy also refrained from any rash action, and the situation remained at a stalemate.
As the alarms in the harbor gradually died down, the harbor fell into silence again. Only the sound of waves lapping against the shore could be heard by the soldiers from time to time.
On the command ship, Kuzan and Borsalino stood side by side, looking up at the warships in the sky, without saying a word for a long time.
They are waiting for the new navy to react first.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came down from the Dawn, nor did the Dawn show any obvious intention to attack.
Why did he come to Coco Island so late at night? Was he here for sightseeing?!
"What does this mean? What does the new navy intend to do?"
"Are you waiting for something?"
Kuzan muttered softly as he gazed at the warships overhead. Borsalino stared for a long moment, then lowered his head slightly, his lips curled slightly, as if he had guessed something.
"Golden Clouds"
"It must have been reflected in that golden sea of fire."
"It was Jiguo Yuanyi who took action!!!"
"Their purpose is to remind our navy not to act rashly!"
Borsalino instantly understood the truth just by guessing, and his words made Kuzan's pupils shrink suddenly.
"you mean"
Kuzan opened his mouth with a complicated expression.
“Da da.”
On the deck behind Kuzan and Borsalino, the sound of high heels tapping on the floor suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw Vice Admiral He slowly approaching the ship's side in a cloak. He glanced at the warship in the air and said to Kuzan:
"Kuzan, go up and ask them what their purpose is."
"Otherwise, all our navy might not have a rest tonight."
After hearing He's suggestion, Kuzan nodded and was about to leave the deck when he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye a golden streak of light shooting towards Cocoa Island from a distance.
The three of them noticed the streak of light that was flying towards them and looked sideways.
Kuzan paused and raised his eyelids.
The golden light flew over everyone's heads in an instant, and disappeared into the Dawn warship in the sky.
After a long time, someone suddenly jumped off the Dawn warship and fell rapidly towards their naval command ship.
"Da~"
Kuzan only felt his eyes darken, and the next second, a red-haired young man with a long sword on his waist fell from the sky and landed lightly on the railing in front of several people.
The cold moonlight illuminated half of the person's body. Several people looked up at the red-haired young man standing on the railing, and their expressions revealed a hint of understanding.
"Long time no see—"
"Everyone."
Ji Guoyuan was wearing a red training suit, holding a long sword in one hand, with a gentle smile on his face, and greeted Kuzan, Borsalino and He.
Standing behind He, Tina's beautiful eyes secretly observed Yuichi Tsugakuma who suddenly appeared on the boat. She noticed a long tear in his shirt on his chest, revealing his fair skin. Tina also noticed that the sleeve on his right hand was also torn.
Although Jiguo Yuanyi was still as handsome as ever, Tina could tell from the tears in his clothes that he seemed to have just had a fierce battle with someone.
What Tina can discover, Kuzan and others can of course also notice.
"It's been a long time indeed."
"It's just that meeting you in an occasion like this is not what I expected!"
"Yuichi."
Kuzan glanced at Yoriichi Tsugakuni briefly, then shook his head slightly and spoke.
"Yeah?"
"Then it's different for me. I can meet up with old friends, no matter what the occasion is."
Ji Guoyuanyi slowly squatted down, held the railing with his hand, and then sat down on the railing, talking to Kuzan with a smile.
But Kuzan's Qi cultivation skills are really not that good. He frowned and said in a deep voice:
"We haven't been friends since the day you left the Navy."
"There's no point in talking about this now."
"Just be frank. What are you planning to do so late?"
"Stop wasting each other's time."
"I suppose you're busy too?"
At this time, the deck of the command ship was already full of navy officers. The navy officers all noticed the presence of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and immediately gathered around Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
The navy men looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni with complicated eyes, including curiosity, awe, longing, and strong vigilance.
During this period, the newspaper controlled by Morgans published a "biography" about Tsugakuni Yoriichi. Different navies had different attitudes towards Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
"Indeed, my time is quite tight."
"After all, there are so many things I want to do."
"I came here this time to talk to you about something."
"Or rather, I have something to ask you, the Navy!"
"I'll make it short."
"I've already dealt with the Big Mom Pirates."
Tsugumi Yoshiichi's words made the sailors on the deck change color. After hearing the news, everyone looked at Tsugumi Yoshiichi with astonishment.
Kuzan looked calm at this moment and did not show any surprise; Borsalino smiled as if to say "as expected", his eyes rolled around and he remained silent; and after hearing this, He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi, waiting for what to say next.
He knew that what Tsugikoku Yoshiichi said next was the key point!
"Your opponent no longer exists."
"I hope our navy will withdraw from Wan Guo."
Tsugikokuen paused for a moment, then his gaze passed over Kuzan and Borsalino and landed on Vice Admiral Tsuru, and continued:
"From tonight on, Wan Guo will be the territory of my new navy!"
"My people will take over here!"
Although Kuzan and Borsalino are both admirals, and Tsuru is only a vice admiral, in some matters, Tsuru, as a naval staff officer, has more say than the admirals, especially in matters related to strategy.
"Let our navy retreat?"
"The New Navy takes over Banko? How can that be possible? If that happens, wouldn't our war with the Big Mom Pirates be a complete failure?"
"Is this going against the World Government?"
When the sailors on the deck heard what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said, they all started talking about it.
No matter how dumb the navy was, they would not understand Tsugikuni Yoriichi's intentions at this point. Their navy headquarters was making things easier for others!
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's words silenced Kuzan and the others. After a long silence, Kuzan saw that Tsuru and Borsalino were silent, so he frowned, shook his head, and said:
"What you said is impossible!"
"All nations must be brought back under the control of the World Government!"
"This will be a new country under the World Government!"
As soon as Kuzan finished speaking, Jiguo Yuanyi did not intend to refute. He just smiled and pointed at He and said, "Kuzan, don't rush to refuse."
"You might as well listen to Chief of Staff He's opinion."
"Or... ask Marshal Zhan Guo what he thinks."
As he spoke, Jiguo Yuanyi adjusted his sitting posture, leaning on the railing with one hand, tapping the railing lightly with his fingers, and continued:
"Come to think of it, I'm not asking for your opinion when I tell you this."
"Actually, no matter what decision the Navy Headquarters makes, I won't change my mind."
"I'll give you half a month to leave Coco Island."
"After this, I will come personally to reclaim Coco Island."
"If you think fighting the Big Mom Pirates isn't exciting enough."
"I can be your new rival!"
"I promise that the strength of our new navy will not make the Navy Headquarters feel bored!"
After saying this, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi tapped the railing with one hand, stood up, and was about to leave. But at this moment, Crane, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up to stop Tsugakuin Yoshiichi: "Wait a minute."
Hearing He's cry, Ji Guoyuan turned his head and looked towards He.
"Our navy came to Wano Country for more than just the purpose of defeating the Big Mom Pirates."
"You said that the Big Mom Pirates were defeated by you, right?"
"Then the main text of history is now in your hands?"
"Leave it to our navy!"
He is a smart person, and she also knows the Warring States very well.
Zhan Guo was a wise man. It is not very accurate to say that he was a navy man. Compared with his military identity, the current Zhan Guo was more of a politician.
As the naval marshal, Sengoku has only one goal, which is to stabilize the world.
As long as it can achieve this goal, he can compromise on many things.
Politics is the art of compromise.
The power of the New Navy far exceeds that of Bankoku, and the strength of Tsugakuni Yoriichi is probably above that of BIG MOM. The Navy dares to attack the BIG MOM Pirates directly, but if it fights the New Navy, there will be no false peace in this world.
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Warring States period.
Knowing this, He was very confident when negotiating with Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.
What she needs is to obtain as much capital as possible to make the "world stable". The historical text can be said to be the source of chaos and must be controlled by the navy.
"That broken rock?"
"I don't know where it is, so I can't give it to you."
"The contents of that stone tablet have already been made public. Whether it's recovered or not is meaningless to the Navy."
"Isn't it?"
Ji Guoyuanyi said perfunctorily that he had no intention of handing over the historical text at all.
Although the contents of the stone tablet have been made public, newspapers are often time-sensitive. Once the hype has passed, the attention will decrease.
Moreover, the World Government is now conducting large-scale searches of newspapers from that time, and it also releases some tampered content from time to time to confuse people's vision.
Within a few years, only a few people knew the correct text on the stele.
Yunyi is not so foolish as to think that what he has done before is a permanent solution.
The historical text is still useful.
Seeing that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi refused, Tsuru was not surprised. He changed the subject and talked about Akainu: "Sakaski was captured by your new navy, right?"
"In exchange for our navy's withdrawal, let him go!"
"Just release him. I will discuss your request with the headquarters."
Hearing what He said, Jiguo Yuanyi did not refuse this time: "Okay, when you leave, he will come back on his own!"
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan's figure flashed and disappeared on the command ship.
Shortly after Tsugikuni Yoshiichi left, the Dawn warship in the sky slowly rose into the air and flew out of everyone's sight.
"New Navy"
“It’s become a big deal!”
He looked at the departing Dawn warship and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Two days later.
A newspaper was spread all over the world through Morgans' propaganda tools.
"The Big Mom Pirates are destroyed, and the Emperor of the Sea is born!"
"New Navy, Overlord of the New World!"
