Chapter 180 Born from the ruins!
Faced with Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's judgment, Cyrus just nodded reluctantly and his expression improved a little.
Cyrus knew that this was most likely what Yoshikazu Tsugakuni said to comfort him. He had fought with many pirates during his years in the navy, and most of the pirates would just move to another place after making a move.
The highlight is flexibility.
Moreover, it is difficult to find pirates who have escaped from the sea even in places like the Four Seas where the navy has strong control. It is even more difficult to find them in places like the New World where the navy has weaker control.
However, Cyrus also ignored the difference between the pirates in the New World and the pirates in the four seas.
In the New World where the navy is rarely seen, the pirates' behavior is much more arrogant than those in the four seas.
The pirates of the Four Seas knew that if the navy learned of their location, they would come to capture them. But what about the pirates of the New World? If they knew that the navy was coming to capture them, they might even order their ships to dock.
However, Tsugikuni Yoriichi didn't say much about this to Cyrus. After all, it was just Yoriichi's guess. For their navy, after arriving in Dressrosa, the first thing to do was to start the construction of the branch as soon as possible.
Through the guards stationed on the coast, Jiguo Yuanyi and others met Tanculepound, the captain of the kingdom's army who was responsible for pacifying the people and guarding the port.
At the Royal Army’s base, Tankureponde met Jiguoyuan and others.
At this time, only Yunyi and Cyrus were on the island, while Ichixiao, Mihawk and the others stayed on the ship. Koshiro led the marines to disembark for supplies.
Before the branch is established, they will probably have to live on the ship for a long time and prepare supplies so that they can set sail to chase pirates at any time.
"Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters?!"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi?!"
When Tancurepound saw Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Cyrus, his eyes fell on Tsugakuni Yoriichi, his face full of surprise.
During the conversation, Tankurepond learned about the identity of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and was full of doubts about this young lieutenant general.
There is no way, Yuichiro Tsugakuni looks too young. Although Yuichiro Tsugakuni's height is quite good and he has grown to 180cm in recent years, the childishness on his face does not fade away with his height.
In Tancurapound's opinion, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was just an underage boy, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about such a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
Moreover, Tanculepound had heard of the name Yoshiichi Tsugakuni. This Marine who destroyed the legendary Flying Pirates by himself was actually such a young man. Tanculepound couldn't help but be suspicious.
The surprised tone and the stunned expression made Cyrus, who was standing next to Yunyi, frown.
Fortunately, Tankureponde didn't say anything excessive to Yunichi. Although he had doubts in his heart, he recognized Cyrus standing behind Tsugikuni Yunichi. Although the doubts in his heart did not dissipate, they were suppressed a lot.
Otherwise, Cyrus would probably be furious.
Having worked with Yuichiro Tsugikuni for such a long time, Cyrus has more than just a comradeship towards Yuichiro Tsugikuni. He has more respect for Yuichiro Tsugikuni.
Respect this young man who always upholds his own justice.
"As for King Riku, I can't make the decision. Of course, we in Dressrosa are a member of the World Government. If your navy wants to establish a branch on the island, our King Riku will not object."
"To be honest, Dressrosa was just attacked by pirates yesterday, and King Riku has a lot of things to deal with."
"If you wish to establish a branch in Dressrosa, then do so."
"But the land for the base needs to be purchased from the local people. I think you can understand that."
"I will report to King Riku regarding your situation. If he wishes to see you, I will inform you."
Tsugikoku Yoriichi and the others didn't even exchange a few words with Tankurepond before being "sent away" by Tankurepond. Dressrosa was so busy with yesterday's events that he had no time to bother with Yoriichi and the others.
The Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters is indeed very powerful, but as a high-ranking official of a member country of the World Government, Tancule Pond really doesn't have to worry about Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the others.
Such confidence does not come from one's own strength, but from the system that operates this world.
Moreover, Tancurepound is a realistic person. The most important thing for him now is to appease the people and carry out post-disaster reconstruction. He is responsible to King Liku, not to the navy.
Do whatever the Navy wants to do, just don't disrupt their normal operations.
"Lieutenant General, that guy's attitude is really infuriating!" Cyrus and Jiguo Yuanyi walked out of the Kingdom Army's base together. Thinking of Tanculepound's slightly perfunctory attitude just now, Cyrus couldn't help but complain.
"Well"
"You can see that he is really busy."
"This is normal, there's no need to lose your temper."
"For us, whether or not we meet with King Riku is not important. All that matters is that we get the proper notice."
Yoriichi waved his hand, unconcerned with Tankurepond's recent treatment. What good would a good attitude do? What bad would a bad attitude do? After all, Tsugikoku Yoriichi and the others had come to Dressrosa to do something, not to be flattered.
"What should we do next?" Seeing that Ji Guoyuan looked indifferent, Cyrus put the matter behind him and asked about the next plan.
"Let's take a walk around the harbor and choose a location to establish a branch."
"If all goes well, we'll finish site selection in the next few days and can start purchasing land and recruiting craftsmen."
As Tsugikoku Yoriichi spoke, he walked towards the dock. Hearing that Yoriichi was actually planning to establish a branch at this dock, he immediately asked in confusion:
"Establish a branch at the dock?! Why not in the city center? Wouldn't it be better to radiate the influence to the entire country if it were in the city center?!"
Cyrus had been traveling around the world for a long time, established a naval branch, and had a fixed impression.
"The situation is different. The vast majority of naval branches in the four seas are established in towns. Some countries, seeing that there are naval bases in a town, will not send so-called 'law enforcement officers' to that place. The navy is also responsible for the daily security of the town."
"But the New World is different, Dressrosa is different."
"Dressrosa has a massive army. We don't need to take care of the town's security. All we need is a base where we can go after pirates at any time."
"The port is the most suitable."
While Tsugakuin Yoriichi and Cyrus were chatting, they had already returned to the port. Looking at the houses burned by the pirates, Tsugakuin Yoriichi pondered for a long time, sighed softly, and said to Cyrus:
"Cyrus, contact the owners of those houses that were burned down by the pirates."
"Our navy is willing to purchase at normal market prices."
"If someone is willing to sell it, buy it."
"I plan to establish our Dawn Navy branch on those ruins!"
When Cyrus heard what Tsugikoku Yoriichi said, he was startled. Then he bowed deeply to Tsugikoku Yoriichi and replied loudly:
"I understand! Lieutenant General Tsugikoku!"
"Thanks you!"
Seeing Cyrus's serious expression, Yunyi patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "It's too formal."
The navy's acquisition plan wasn't going smoothly. Many of the houses burned down by the pirates no longer had any owners. The ownership of the houses was unclear. Some were lost to extinct families and returned to the kingdom, but others were inherited.
After hearing the news, Yuichiro realized that now was not the time to make an acquisition. After taking a quick look at the life circle at the dock, he returned to the ship.
Cyrus was in a bad mood that day.
At night.
Thick fog rose from the sea, and as time passed, the fog soon covered the entire Dressrosa.
At midnight, Cyrus, somewhat sleepless, came out on deck in his pajamas and looked out at the dock. The people who had lost their loved ones did not recover from their grief so quickly. That night, countless people huddled beside the bodies of their loved ones, shedding tears.
After standing on the deck for a long time, Cyrus sighed and was about to go back to the cabin to rest when he accidentally discovered a dim light on the sea, covered by thick fog.
"What is that?!"
