Chapter 100: Target Shuixianxing Island, what a coincidence!
The next morning, a rapid knock on the door woke Tsugumi Yuichiro from his sleep.
After opening his eyes, Ji Guoyuan simply put on a piece of clothing and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a sergeant standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.
Seeing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi coming out, the sergeant saluted and reported anxiously:
"Colonel!"
"Something big has happened!"
"The prisoner. The prisoner escaped from prison!!!"
When Ji Guoyuan heard this, he just nodded slightly to show that he understood. His expression did not change at all and he still looked calm.
The sergeant thought that because Tsugikoku Yoriichi had just woken up and didn't hear what he was saying, he hurriedly added: "Colonel, the prisoner has escaped from prison. It's the prisoner we arrested yesterday who attacked our warship."
Ji Guoyuan glanced at the sergeant, said "hmm" softly, then turned around and walked into the room to change his clothes.
The sergeant saw this and was about to emphasize the seriousness of the "situation" again when Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly asked, "Have you reported this to Brigadier General Kuzan?"
"What did he say?"
The sergeant was startled by Tsugikoku's sudden question, and then he replied awkwardly, "I haven't reported it to Brigadier General Kuzan yet. I'm afraid."
"Go report to Brigadier General Kuzan. He will make the decision. You just need to follow his orders."
While speaking, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had already changed his clothes, then took his knife, walked out of the room and went to the deck.
When the sergeant saw that Ji Guoyuan had left, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on Kuzan's door.
After meeting Kuzan, he reported to him the escape of the prisoner.
The sergeant was mentally prepared to accept punishment, but unexpectedly, after hearing the news, Kuzan didn't say anything. He waved his hand, signaling the sergeant to leave, and then closed the door again.
Not long after, the door was opened again, Kuzan walked out, stopped at the door for a while, and then walked towards the deck.
When Kuzan came to the deck, he saw Yuichiro Tsugakuin standing at the bow and practicing with a sword. After hesitating for a moment, Kuzan walked towards Yuichiro Tsugakuin.
Coming to Ji Guoyuan's side, Kuzan lowered his head slightly, rubbed the back of his head, and then said in a deep voice:
"I really can't pretend that nothing happened."
"I don't want to send those people into Impel Down. That's not the justice I want."
"I understand that you killed them all, but I think your actions are unjust!"
"Not what a navy should do."
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi continued to swing his sword and did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Sharon Lily, what are you going to do?!"
Upon hearing this, Kuzan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "She didn't do anything. She doesn't know about King Sharon's affairs."
"Of course, I will never let her threaten your safety."
Hearing Kuzan's words, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi just smiled inexplicably.
He wouldn't let "her" threaten him? He was afraid he'd just chop her down!
"It's up to you." After saying this casually, Jigoku Yoshiichi ignored Kuzan and started practicing on his own.
After looking for a while, Kuzan sighed softly, and without staying on the deck for long, turned around and went into the cabin.
After what happened last night, Kuzan didn't know why, but he always felt a little insecure when facing Tsugumi Yuichiro. In his mind, he did think that he was the one who was right, but for some reason, every time he looked at Tsugumi Yuichiro, he always felt as if Tsugumi Yuichiro was right.
The other person's eyes seemed to have a strange magic that made people unconsciously feel that the other person was right.
Maybe it's because the other party is too determined!
After leaving the deck, Kuzan went to the cabin to take care of Sharon Lily who was still in a coma. Kuzan did not mention what happened last night. The navy on the ship did not know about it, and the few marines on duty last night also kept silent, as if nothing had happened.
At noon, the unconscious Sharon Lily woke up. No one knew what Kuzan and Lily talked about in the cabin. Anyway, Sharon Lily only stayed on the boat for more than ten minutes after waking up. She was then sent off the boat by Kuzan and disappeared at the dock.
At this moment, after finishing his morning exercise, Yoriichi Tsugikuni led a group of his subordinates to the branch of the Sharon Kingdom to collect the bodies of his companions and bury them on the spot.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not report what happened here to his immediate superior, Admiral Sengoku, but instead called Zephyr and briefly told him what happened in the Kingdom of Sharon. However, during the call, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not mention the small conflict between him and Kuzan.
Nor did it mention the attack on the Marine branch led by King Sharon.
It just said that someone from Sharon Kingdom colluded with pirates to attack the Navy branch, and there are still hidden pirates in Sharon Kingdom.
The truth of the matter was selectively concealed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Zefa's answer was to tell Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the others to repair the boat and then go to Narcissus Island according to the established plan, and not to worry about the things here.
In the afternoon, after Ji Guoyuan returned to the warship, he told Kuzan about Zefa's instructions. Kuzan nodded and ordered the crew to assist the shipbuilders to speed up the repair of the ship.
A few days later, after Kuzan's ship was repaired, it left the port of Dongwu Island.
On the day when the Kuzan warship left the port, in a corner of the dock, there was a graceful figure watching the warship leave.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi no longer cared about the matters related to Dongwu Island. He only knew that the Navy Headquarters had asked Major General Roca of the Navy G-10 Branch stationed in the Neil Kingdom to take over.
Kuzan's ship also quickly headed towards Shuixianxing Island.
Along the way, Kuzan and his crew encountered no other complications except for the occasional encounter with some pirates. However, after leaving Dongwu Island, the sailors on Kuzan's ship could clearly feel that the communication between Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Kuzan had decreased.
On the contrary, the two would often practice fighting on the ship, and the number of times was very frequent, and the fighting was not small. And the result of each practice was the same, and it ended with Commodore Kuzan falling into the sea.
During the frequent battles and training between Kuzan and Yuichiro Tsugakuni, the relationship between Yuichiro Tsugakuni and Kuzan gradually returned to what it was before.
After the warship had been sailing on the sea for nearly two months, the mission destination, Shuixianxing Island, finally appeared in everyone's eyes.
Mid-February of the year 1499 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The green warship docked at the dock of Shuixianxing Island. A long wooden ladder lowered from the ship. After a while, Kuzan led a group of navy men off the warship and walked towards the town not far from the port.
According to the headquarters' instructions, there should be 12 warships heading to Shuixianxing Island. However, at this time, there was only one warship belonging to Kuzan docked at the port of Shuixianxing Island.
Apparently, Kuzan's team was the first to reach their destination.
Shuixianxing Island is small, with only a small town of nearly 10,000 people. This is the deepest part of the New World, and the navy's influence cannot reach Shuixianxing Island at all.
Therefore, when Kuzan led the marines into the town, the residents who set up stalls on both sides of the road looked at Kuzan and others with strange eyes.
"Navy?! Why is the navy here?"
"Is the navy here to catch pirates?"
"Catch pirates? Don't be ridiculous. There are no pirates on our island! Which pirate would be interested in us?"
The discussions of the residents setting up stalls reached the ears of Kuzan, Ji Guoyuan and others.
Hearing this, Yoshikazu Tsuchiya released his Observation Haki and looked around the street in front of him. However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw a young man wearing a straw hat holding an oil-paper-wrapped apple at an apple stall not far away, looking at Yoshikazu Tsuchiya.
The young man suddenly looked at Ji Guoyuan one by one, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly dived into the dark path beside him and disappeared.
Ji Guoyuan watched the young man leave, and after a brief moment of daze, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he sighed:
"What a coincidence!"
