There was a brief pause in the bombardment of the Origin Island, which gave the Navy Headquarters fleet enough time to react.
Under Borsalino's command, the warships that fell into the sea in advance began to disperse and move at full speed towards the starting island.
As the distance between the two sides shortened, the warships at sea also fired artillery towards the starting island.
With Yixiao's ability, the island floating in the air was nearly a hundred meters away from the sea surface. Such a long distance was simply out of reach of the warship's guns. The soldiers of the Navy Headquarters naturally knew this clearly, but they did not stop their shelling.
Countless shells fell on the rocks below the island. Although the explosion was violent, it had no effect on the new navy on the island.
The Navy Headquarters tried to relieve the pressure through fire suppression, but their bombardment had no effect on rock fortresses like the Starting Island.
"Land on the island!"
Borsalino saw through the telescope that the bombardment of the fleet under his command posed no threat to the floating island, so he quickly changed his battle strategy and ordered the soldiers to land on the island to fight.
The navy they brought to the new world this time were the elite of the elite, and although their numbers had been reduced by more than half, landing on an island a hundred meters high to fight was difficult, but not impossible.
Under Borsalino's command, more than ten figures on the ships approaching the Starting Island quickly took off into the air. The soldiers were carrying long ropes on their backs and were rapidly approaching the Starting Island.
Dozens of flying claws pierced into the rock wall. After the officers succeeded quickly with Le Bu, they fixed the ropes and threw them directly into the sea below.
As the sea breeze blew, the long rope swayed violently. The soldiers on the ship grabbed the rope dropped by the officers and quickly fixed it on the ship. The soldiers gathered on the deck grabbed the rope without any hesitation and climbed quickly towards the starting island.
Everything the soldiers of the Marine Headquarters did was under the perception of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Although these elite troops of the Marine Headquarters cannot be called powerful, the fighting spirit they demonstrated made Yoriichi Tsugikuni feel somewhat moved.
The courage shown by these soldiers in taking such a great risk to land on the island made Yuanyi silent for a while.
"Elite, truly the elite of the Marine Headquarters."
"If these people were to die in this ocean, it would be a loss to the world."
At this moment, Tsugikuni Yoriichi hesitated. He looked out at the distant sea with a telescope in his hand, sighed, and finally made a decision:
"The Navy Headquarters has begun landing on the island. Tenma, have your men resist with all their might."
"Well, if the other party is willing to surrender, we can accept surrender."
In the end, Yoriichi couldn't bear to completely kill these ordinary soldiers of the Navy Headquarters. He had already killed many ordinary marines in the battle of Red Canyon, and Yoriichi didn't want to stain his hands with their blood again.
Thinking of this, he was neither willing nor hesitant. After instructing Tianzheng to convey his orders, he threw the telescope in his hand into Tianzheng's hand.
"Yuichi, what are you going to do?"
Mihawk noticed that Jigokuru seemed to be preparing to take action and immediately asked.
"You also said that all we can do is end this war as soon as possible."
"Then let me put an end to this."
As he was speaking, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was about to fly away from the island when a sharp scream suddenly came from the sky.
Attracted by the shrieking sound, Jiguo Yuanyi and others looked up into the sky and saw a warship breaking through layers of clouds and rapidly falling towards the center of the island.
Just as Yoriichi Tsugakuni was talking to Mihawk and others, the warship that fell from the sky had already landed on the Island of Origin, making a loud noise.
"boom--"
The 100-meter-long warship that fell from the sky created a deep pit on the ground. The strange thing was that the warship that fell from a height was actually intact. The hull was embedded in the ground, and there was no sign of distortion or deformation on the hull.
This sudden scene also alarmed the new navy on the island. Hundreds of new navy quickly surrounded the strange warship.
"What's going on? A warship fell from the sky?!"
"It's a ship from the Navy Headquarters. It fell from the clouds!"
"How is this possible? After falling from such a height, why is there no damage to the hull?"
A group of new navy surrounded the warship that crashed on the Starting Island. The strange phenomenon also made them hold guns in their hands and dare not act rashly.
“Wow——”
“It’s really amazing!”
"I didn't believe it when they reported it to me. I never thought you guys would actually create an island like this at the exit of the Crimson Canyon."
“That’s amazing!”
A burly figure flew out from the warship.
This was an old sailor, looking to be in his seventies or eighties, with a mohawk and a beard trimmed into a strange "M" shape. Although his hair was gray, his muscles were unusually strong, and his bulging muscles made his black training uniform look tight. When he spoke, his voice was like a bell.
"How could that fellow Zhan Guo possibly report false information to you, the commander-in-chief?"
"But the new navy is really generous!"
The old sailor who landed on the island was observing it as if no one was around. When he sighed, several figures flew down from a warship not far away.
Garp, wearing a white suit and a navy cloak, appeared behind the old navy man.
Commander-in-Chief!
This is what Karp called the old navy man before him.
The old navy man who appeared on the starting island at this time was none other than the former navy marshal Kong Gu who had already become the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.
In addition to Garp, two older veteran navy officers also landed on the island with Sora.
Vice Admiral Brugulus, a hunched old lady who is only 1.4 meters tall and wears a navy cloak, is the user of the Rider Fruit; Rear Admiral Roca, an old navy man with white hair and beard, a long goatee, a tall and thin body, and even a few light age spots on his face, looking sleepy and confused.
Four sailors crashed on the warship on the Starting Island, which only carried four sailors.
"Elite, that boy Yunyi has trained his subordinates well."
After landing on the island, Major General Roca slowly opened his eyes, squinted them, quickly looked at the new sailors surrounding him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Faced with these old navy officers who suddenly appeared on the island, several leaders of the new navy looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then gave orders.
"shot!"
The relationship between the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters is already like water and fire. Even when facing these old men and women, they have no reason to hold back.
And they have no right to hold back.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Intensive gunfire rang out, and Garp and Cyborg Sora stood in front and behind, tacitly protecting Brugulus and Roca in the center. The moment the gunfire rang out, Garp and Cyborg Sora quickly squatted down, and directly lifted two rock slabs from the ground, blocking them in front of themselves to protect themselves and the people behind them.
The bullet embedded itself in the rock slab and posed no threat to the people behind.
"Hey, hey, hey, you little guys are so rude to attack an elderly person without saying anything."
"Hasn't Yunyi taught you what it means to respect the elderly and love the young?"
When Major General Roca said this, his tone was full of complaints. As he spoke, Major General Roca clasped his hands together, and an invisible field quickly expanded with him as the center, instantly covering all the navy.
The new sailors had no idea what was happening. They suddenly felt a black screen in front of their eyes. The moment they were covered by Admiral Roca's domain, their vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, and perception were all deprived at this moment. Everyone lost control of their bodies and fell to the ground.
The scene happening before their eyes was also seen by Ji Guoyuan and others who were rushing towards this side.
Ten meters away, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi seemed to have noticed something and suddenly stopped, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to stop his companions behind him from moving forward.
"What's going on?!"
"It's not Conqueror's Haki. I didn't feel any Conqueror's Haki."
Abel's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly looked up at Steel Bone Sora and others in the distance.
"Oh! Finally it appeared."
"Long time no see! Yunyi!"
When Kong Ganggu saw the arrival of Yuichiro Tsugaku and his companions behind him, the smile on his face became even brighter. With a shake of his hands, he threw two rock slabs as tall as a person directly out.
"I never thought I'd see you, Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Sora, in a place like this."
"Long time no see, Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Garp, and Major General Roca."
As Ji Guoyuan spoke, his eyes fell on Roca, who was protected by Garp and Cyborg Sora behind him. At this time, Roca still had a smile on his face, and he slowly lowered his clasped hands. He looked at Ji Guoyuan in the distance and waved with a smile.
Of the four navy officers who appeared on the island of origin, Tsugikuni Yoriichi knew three of them.
Although he did not know the hunchbacked old lady, Yunyi knew that anyone who could appear here with people like Cyborg, Sora, and Garp must not be an easy character to deal with.
Of course, the one who surprised Tsugikuni Yoriichi the most among these people was Major General Roca.
In his early years at the Marine Headquarters, he had met this old Major General with Garp. In Tsugikuni Yoriichi's impression, this old Major General seemed to be a user of the Listening Fruit, but judging by what had just happened, the Listening Fruit probably didn't have the ability to make his subordinates fall unconscious without them noticing.
"Yuichi, we are here to help you."
"If you wish your companions and subordinates to survive, then surrender."
"As long as you can come back with us, your men will be able to survive."
After seeing Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Garp's emotions fluctuated violently. Without waiting for the commander-in-chief, Sora Akechi, to speak, Garp hurriedly said this to Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Sora Akechi and the others had no intention of stopping Garp. When Garp said this, they just stared at Yoriichi Tsugikuni quietly, observing the changes in Yoriichi's expression.
"help?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Karp."
"There is absolutely nothing to discuss between me, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons."
"And you should have seen the scene in the SeSe Canyon with your own eyes!"
"There is no friendship between me and the Navy Headquarters anymore."
As he spoke, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had already gently drawn the long sword from his waist. His attitude was clear enough.
Seeing that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi drew out the long sword from his waist, Mihawk and Abel beside him also drew their swords and stood there, looking at Cyborg Sora, Garp and others with unfriendly expressions.
Surrender? How could they allow such a thing to happen before their eyes?
Garp opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Major General Roca beside him gently stopped him with a hand:
"You can't change his will."
"Just like you couldn't change the dragon's will back then."
"Haha, young people nowadays are really more troublesome than each other."
After Major General Roca finished speaking, he gently clasped his hands together again, and the invisible field quickly expanded towards the location of Ji Guoyuan and others.
It is true that he has the ability of the Listening Fruit. His basic ability is to enhance his hearing. Even sounds from hundreds of meters away can be heard if he wants to.
However, after the power of this devil fruit awakened, Major General Loca's ability changed. He was able to create an invisible field, in which Major General Loca could deprive the enemy of their five senses at will.
At that time, the Navy Headquarters had only one branch base in the New World.
Why? !
Is it because the Navy Headquarters does not want to expand its sphere of influence towards the New World?
No, it was simply because the other bases established by the Marine Headquarters in the New World were uprooted by pirates, and only Major General Roca relied on his terrifying ability to support the G-10 branch.
In this new world where pirates are rampant, the terrifying power of the Marine Branch can still be supported. This is the fundamental reason why Major General Roca can have such a huge say in the Marine Headquarters!
Although the domain released by Major General Roca cannot be perceived, a strong man like Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has an extremely keen sixth sense about unknown dangers. Even if they cannot see or touch the domain released by Major General Roca, they can still react the moment the other party releases the domain.
"retreat!"
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's reaction was the most acute. He sensed the unknown danger coming towards him, let out a low cry, and quickly flew back, instantly putting some distance between him and Major General Roca and others.
Major General Roca's domain stopped after spreading out nearly 20m, unable to continue extending outward, and was unable to cover the rapidly retreating Ji Guoyuan and others.
"Mr. Jiguo, what happened?"
Abel's sixth sense was slightly weaker than that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Mihawk and others. After flying back dozens of meters, Abel quickly came behind Yoriichi and asked in a serious voice.
“Not sure”
"I can't see or touch it, but I can sense that there was danger approaching us."
Facing Abel's question, Yunyi also frowned, unable to give a definite answer, and could only give this answer. After hearing this, Abel did not doubt him. Although Yunyi was vague, Abel had unconditional trust in Yunyi.
He trusted Tsugikuni Yoriichi's judgment.
“Wow——”
"Very sharp!"
Seeing Yuichi and the others flash away and retreat, Major General Roca sighed softly and looked at Yuichi and the others with admiration in his eyes.
