Chapter 208: Troop Restructuring, Sword of Dawn! (Two-in-one)
The arrival of the Sengoku No. 0 warship was really beyond Tsugikuni Yoriichi's expectations.
In fact, when he met Sakaski before, Yoriichi Tsugakuni felt that the Marine Headquarters was making a big deal out of nothing and actually sent the headquarters' rare and powerful combat force to deal with such a matter.
And when he saw Admiral Sengoku personally taking action, Yoriichi felt that the Marine Headquarters was wasting its combat power.
If they were interested in helping the World Government kill pregnant women, couldn't they go out to sea and catch pirates? After Roger's death, the already turbulent sea became even more "turbulent" than before.
The navy trapped by Roger's ghost really made Yunyi speechless.
"Vice Admiral Tsugukuni, that's Admiral Sengoku's warship!"
"Should we attack? Or avoid?"
"I think it's probably unavoidable."
The three warships in the distance attracted the attention of all the navy on the deck. Borsalino discovered the other party without any reminder from the navy on the lookout tower, and said to Ji Guoyuan with a smile.
"attack?"
"Borsalino, if you want to, go ahead and do it."
"Are you going?"
When Ji Guoyuan heard Borsalino's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and asked back with a smile. Borsalino smiled awkwardly and spread his hands.
When Ji Guoyuan saw the other party's expression, he said nothing more. He walked towards the bow of the ship and shouted to Cyrus:
"Cyrus, give the order to have the Dawn warship approach, and the other warships proceed according to the established target."
"Let Yixiao and Mihawk escort them away."
"As for us, it's been a long time since we last saw the Warring States General. Let's go and catch up."
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni said calmly that when facing Admiral Sengoku, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had clearly gone against the will of the Marine Headquarters, but he did not show any guilt at all.
"Huh? Want to get closer?"
"That's General Zhan Guo's warship. If General Zhan Guo asks us to keep these pregnant women, what should we do? Will he tolerate our little tricks?"
"He's different from the previous Sakaski. He's your superior!"
Hearing that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was planning to let the boat approach, Borsalino couldn't help but touch his nose and asked with some guilt.
Facing Sakaski, who was of the same rank as Tsugekuni, it wouldn't matter if Tsugekuni Yoshiichi used a slightly more aggressive approach. Minor conflicts between his lieutenant generals were normal and nothing to be surprised about.
As for the fact that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni disobeyed the headquarters' orders and interfered in the affairs of Patrilla Island, this is actually a small matter.
With Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's current prestige in the navy, as long as he can bring those pregnant women back to Dressrosa safely, even the navy headquarters will probably turn a blind eye.
But if the person who intercepts you is a general of the Warring States period, if you don't handle it well and a conflict occurs,
That would be an act of insubordination. In a system like the Navy, let alone Yoriichi Tsugakuni, even the famous troublemaker Vice Admiral Garp has never made a move against Cyborg.
This principle is easy to understand. If two non-commissioned officers fight with each other, at most they will be punished. But if you, a non-commissioned officer, slap your division commander twice, the nature of the matter will be different.
In Borsalino's opinion, the best way is to pretend not to see it and just get rid of the other person.
However, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was obviously not as naive as Borsalino thought. Shake off? His Dawn warship did have the ability to shake off Sengoku's No. 0 warship, but what about the other ships?
Since the Warring States general is here, let's just solve the problem at once.
"No need to say more, just come closer."
Ji Guoyuan said, holding the railing with both hands.
"General Sengoku, it seems like the enemy is about to stop? Uh, no, the fleet hasn't slowed down and has already left."
"It seems that he doesn't take you seriously!"
On the deck of warship No. 0, a blond boy over two meters tall and wearing a lieutenant's uniform walked up to Zhan Guo and said with a smile as he looked at the fleet that was slowing down and approaching them.
"Rosinante, why are you acting so gloating?"
"This kid has caused me so much trouble again. Do you know how much of a headache it is for me?"
Zhan Guo rolled his eyes at the young man beside him, covered his head and said in a deep voice.
"How can I be gloating?"
"I haven't seen Yunyi for a long time. I finally have the chance to meet him. I'm so happy!"
"I never thought that in the blink of an eye, he would become a general and I am only a lieutenant."
“The gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and pigs.”
"So, we don't need to intercept the other ships? Besides the navy, those ships also carry many ordinary people from Patrilla Island, right?"
Rossinante watched as Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's warship penetrated the center of their three fleets, slowly stopped, walked towards the side of the ship, and looked at the deck of the opposite warship.
The only ship that was approaching Admiral Sengoku's fleet was Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's own ship. The other ships continued to move at the same speed. In a short while, they had already passed Sengoku's three warships and were heading towards the distant sea.
"Never mind that."
"The order I received was to bring Tsugikoku Yoshiichi back to take up the position of general."
"As for the rest, I don't know."
When Zhan Guo heard Rosinante's question, he crossed his arms over his chest and said indifferently.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the others thought that Admiral Sengoku was here to stop him from taking away the pregnant women from Patrilla Island. In fact, in Sengoku's view, it didn't matter whether those pregnant women were taken away or not.
Compared to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, this is just a small matter.
The most important thing is to bring Yoriichi Tsugakuni back to the Naval Headquarters to take up his post. It would be best to be able to control Yoriichi Tsugakuni's actions to prevent him from doing anything out of line in the future.
As for pregnant women, that is the world government's concern and has nothing to do with him.
Seeing Zhan Guo's nonchalant look, Rossinanti's face also showed a look of surprise. He thought that Zhan Guo came here this time to stop Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.
This made Rossinanti feel a little relieved.
Originally, he was somewhat concerned about the possibility of a conflict between Yunyi and Sengoku.
"Yeah?"
"In that case, I'll go say hello to Yunyi!"
As he spoke, Rossinanti grabbed the railing with one hand, jumped lightly onto the railing, and then leaped towards the ship that was gradually coming to a stop on the opposite side.
Seeing Rossinanti's anxious look, Zhan Guo smiled and shook his head, but soon the smile on his face gradually faded and turned into a serious expression.
"It may not be easy to bring him back."
As the warship came to a steady stop, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, Borsalino and others also moved to the side of the ship.
Just when Tsugumi Yoshiichi and others were about to go to the Warring States warship, a white figure suddenly jumped out from the opposite deck and attacked Tsugumi Yoshiichi directly.
Seeing this, Borsalino raised his eyebrows, and Cyrus, who was standing behind Tsugakuni Yoriichi, reacted quickly, drew out his sword and blocked Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
“Bang!!!”
A muffled sound was heard, and the man punched the sword in Cyrus's hand directly.
Looking closer, they discovered that the attacker was wearing a white lieutenant's uniform and a navy cloak of justice. Although he looked slender, he was quite tall and powerful when he attacked.
"Cyrus, don't hurt him."
Ji Guoyuan took a quick glance and recognized Rossinanti, then smiled and instructed Cyrus.
In fact, there was no need for Tsugikuni Yoshiichi to say much. When Cyrus saw the opponent's naval uniforms clearly, he knew what was going on.
After blocking Rosinante casually, he quickly reached out with his left hand and grabbed Rosinante's collar.
"shave!"
Facing the attack, Rosinante smiled slightly, muttered something with his mouth slightly parted, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot. When his figure reappeared, he had already reached Cyrus's side, raised his right leg high, and swung out a whip kick, his long leg fiercely kicking at the back of Cyrus' neck.
"Hmm?" Seeing the other party's excellent reaction, Cyrus couldn't help but let out a light exclamation. He raised the long sword in his hand and directly used the sword to block his side.
"Dang!" The whip kick hit the sword directly, making a sound completely different from the previous one.
Rossinanti's legs seemed to be made of metal, and when they hit the sword, they made a crisp golden sound.
"Using the iron block in an attack? That's a very good use of technique."
Cyrus made a casual comment, quickly turned sideways, grabbed Rossinante's ankle, and then rushed forward and kicked Rossinante's left foot with his right foot.
As soon as Cyrus counterattacked, Rossinanti suddenly lost his balance and could not maintain his body. He fell forward. After a "split", he covered his crotch with his hands and slid to the ground.
"Hiss--" Rossinanti, who fell to the ground, took a deep breath and then curled up his body.
"Hey, Rosinante, are you okay?" Seeing Rosinante in pain, Jigoku Yuichi couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"." Rossinanti turned his head with a painful look on his face and looked at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. He pursed his lips and was unable to speak for a while.
"Cyrus, you were too harsh."
"Although Rosinante has made some progress, he can't stand your torture!"
"Don't you think so, Rocinante?"
Jiguo Yuanyi walked over to Rosinante's side and held his shoulder. The pain in his crotch didn't subside so quickly. Rosinante blushed and didn't say anything.
"What's wrong with you, Rosinante?"
"Aren't you here to catch up? Why are you sitting on the ground?"
At this moment, Admiral Zhan Guo also came to the deck of the Dawn warship. Seeing Rossinante sitting on the ground with a painful look on his face, Zhan Guo also put on an expression of surprise and said.
However, when he said this, the smile on Zhan Guo's face could not be suppressed at all.
"General Zhan Guo!" On the deck, Cyrus and other sailors saw Zhan Guo coming and saluted and greeted him.
"Mr. Zhan Guo~"
Even Borsalino, who had been a bit lazy, straightened up, put on a smile, and greeted him.
"Yeah." Zhan Guo glanced at everyone on the deck and nodded slightly.
Then he fixed his gaze on Tsugikoku Yuichi and asked calmly, "Have you finished what you wanted to do?"
"When you're done, come back to the Marine Headquarters with me."
"You should have received the message as well."
"You have been promoted to Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."
"This time, I will return to the headquarters to serve."
Zhan Guo ignored Rosinante and looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi and asked in a deep voice.
"What do I need to do?"
"It's not finished yet."
"General Zhan Guo, I don't have any intention of becoming a general yet. Can you go back and talk to Marshal Gang Gu Kong for me?"
Jiguo Yuanyi looked at Zhan Guo and replied gently. Hearing this, Rosinante, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt the pain in his crotch disappear. He excitedly grabbed Jiguo Yuanyi's trouser leg and exclaimed:
"You don't want to be a general?"
"Such a good opportunity, why did you..."
Before Rossinanti could finish his words, Zhan Guo stretched out his hand in front of him, preventing him from saying the next words.
"Did that Garp guy say anything to you?"
When Sengoku heard that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was not going to be the admiral, the first thought in his mind was not to ask why, but to think of Garp.
"Hahaha, how could you have such an idea, General Zhan Guo?"
"This is my wish and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Yunyi laughed out loud and said, Garp's reputation is really bad.
"Isn't it?" Sengoku looked into Tsugikuni Yoriichi's eyes for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case."
"Then it's up to you."
"Yuichi, stop making things complicated."
“Not everything can be settled.”
"What if, I mean what if, Roger's child is born safely."
"If you follow Roger's footsteps and stir up trouble at sea in the future, can you shoulder the responsibility?"
Sengoku still maintained his gentle attitude and appeared calm when speaking to Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
"If that happens, I will kill him with my own hands!"
Jiguo Yuanyi replied without changing his expression.
Hearing this, Zhan Guo looked at Yuan Yi deeply, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Before you go, I have one last thing to say."
"Yuichi, it's impossible to solve all problems by force alone."
"Mark my words."
With that, Zhan Guo lightly jumped off the deck and returned to his ship. Seeing Zhan Guo coming and going in a hurry, Rosinante scratched his hair, waved to Ji Guoyuan, said "goodbye", and then followed Zhan Guo off the warship.
As Sengoku and others left, Borsalino and others also gathered around Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, and were a little surprised to see the No. 0 battleship slowly sailing away.
"This... is it over?" Cyrus asked somewhat puzzled, turning his head to look at Ji Guoyuan with a look of disbelief.
He originally thought that this time when General Sengoku came, there would be some big conflict between him and Yoriichi. Even Cyrus had made a silent decision in his heart that no matter what kind of conflict occurred between Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Sengoku, he was ready to stand firmly behind Tsugakuni Yoriichi and guard the justice in his heart.
Seeing the other party leave directly at this time, Cyrus had a feeling of unreality.
"It seems that I still underestimated your importance to our navy."
"Such a thing happened, and there was no punishment at all."
Borsalino said with surprise at this moment. He actually had the same idea as Cyrus, and did not expect that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi would escape punishment so easily.
However, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni was not as optimistic as the other two of them.
Things ended so simply that it made Yunyi feel like it had never ended at all.
"Let's go back to Dressrosa first."
Yunyi waved his hand, signaling. Soon, the Dawn warship restarted and quickly left the waters of Patrilla Island.
After Ji Guoyuan and others left, General Zhan Guo reunited with Sakaski. As soon as they met, Zhan Guo saw the horrible wound on Sakaski's chest.
After comforting her for a few words, Zhan Guo sighed softly, took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms, and reported the situation here to Kyōgoku Sora.
The pregnant woman on Patrilla Island was taken away by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni; Sakaski was injured by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni and "lost his combat effectiveness"; at the same time, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni refused to be promoted to admiral and led the team back to Dressrosa.
After Zhan Guo reported these three things one by one, there was a silence on the other end of the phone, which was surprisingly calm.
Zhan Guo was afraid that the other party didn't hear him clearly, so he added: "He said that if Roger's children really go out to sea and cause trouble in the future, he will solve the problem himself."
“Hahahahahaha!”
Hearing this, Ganggukong on the other end of the phone suddenly burst into laughter, but there was no anger in his laughter.
After a long moment, Gang Gukong's laughter subsided. "This matter ends here. The news is blocked and no one is allowed to mention it again."
"Warring States Period."
"I plan to establish a new army."
"This force is affiliated with our navy, and our navy will provide them with technical, equipment, and personnel support."
"However, this force is not directly commanded by our navy."
"This force has the right to deal with any matter related to 'justice,' but our navy bears no responsibility for these people. Even if they die, our navy has no obligation to avenge them."
"Of course, if it's a major incident, the other party must obey the call."
"What do you think of letting Tsugikoku Yoshiichi lead such a force?"
Hearing this, the Warring States general's pupils shrank, and his hand holding the receiver unconsciously tightened.
After a long silence, Zhan Guo replied in a deep voice, "I think so."
"good!"
"In that case, Zhan Guo, you draft the documents after you come back."
"Rename the Dawn branch of Tsugakuni Yoriichi to The Sword of Dawn."
"Sword of Dawn."
During the conversation between Sengoku and Kong Gu Kong, the Navy made a major decision to establish an unprecedented new concept force.
Sword of Dawn, this is actually a castrated version of the prototype of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
It is foreseeable that with the implementation of policies and documents, Tsugikoku Yuichi's power will once again expand unprecedentedly.
Unlike the "Blade" of the future world, the members of the Sword of Dawn will still retain their military ranks.
It is foreseeable that the Sword of Dawn may develop into a behemoth in the future, and more importantly, the policy launched by Kong Gu is to actively loosen the shackles on Yuichiro Tsugikuni.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's actions were already somewhat unscrupulous, and now that he has created such a force, wouldn't it only encourage this kind of atmosphere?
After giving Steel Bone Sora an affirmative answer, Zhan Guo frowned and wondered why the other party did this.
This is undoubtedly the most significant reform made by the Navy, and Kong Gang, who is now promoting this reform, is probably not a "pure loyal dog".
"Steel Bone Marshal Kong"
"What exactly is your purpose?"
