Chapter 682: Long time no see, Borsalino! (2 in 1)

The New Navy's Dawn warship was getting closer and closer, and its light blue paint looked a little white in the sunlight.

Some soldiers on the coast were perhaps illuminated by the light emitted by the warships, and they could not help but press down the brims of their hats and lower their heads slightly.

As the warship approached, everyone's expression became solemn.

After receiving the transfer order and gathering at the coast, the soldiers learned from other comrades why Zhan Guo asked them to assemble at the harbor.

The news that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi appeared on Fishman Island had not been widely circulated among the lower-level troops of the Navy Headquarters. After learning the news, the senior officers held a meeting to discuss future response strategies, but did not inform the entire navy.

Its purpose is very simple, which is to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Although Tsugakuni Yoshiichi left the Marine Headquarters early, his influence in the Marine Headquarters has always been there.

In the past, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's influence in the headquarters had been weakened a lot with his disappearance, but if Tsugakuni Yoshiichi appears and continues to be active on this sea, it will only stimulate the part of the navy influenced by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and accelerate the division and differentiation of the headquarters camp.

It was natural that the Sengoku would choose to conceal the news that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was still alive before considering what position the Navy Headquarters should maintain in the future world.

But things have developed to this point, and even if Sengoku wanted to hide the news that Tsugakuni Yoriichi was still alive, he probably wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

Since Yoriichi has chosen to show up, I think he hopes to bring something to the new navy through his own influence.

Sengoku was able to more or less grasp some of Tsugakuni Yoriichi's psychology, so he decided to go with the flow.

Tsugakuni Yoriichi wants to expand the influence of the new navy to the whole world, but relying on Morgans as a propaganda outlet, the effectiveness it can have is ultimately limited.

In all the member states of the World Government, Morgans' newspapers and reading materials are classified as "contraband".

This stuff is like modern pornographic books. Although the world government has tried its best to ban it and does not want people to read newspapers and periodicals about the new navy, in fact, this kind of stuff cannot be banned at all.

On the contrary, after the newspapers published by Morgans Newspaper became "contraband" in various member states, they sold better and even the price increased to a certain extent.

But even so, if the new navy's propaganda relies solely on Morgans, it will obviously be insufficient for their grand plan.

But in Sengoku's opinion, their naval headquarters can do things that even Morgans can't do!

"Rocks, the King of the World", "Roger, the Pirate King", "The Great Secret Treasure".

These various titles, which once influenced an era, were all supported by the propaganda machine of the Navy Headquarters.

The reason why Sengoku gathered almost all the combat forces of the headquarters was, on the one hand, to make a gesture, and on the other hand, he wanted to exaggerate the strength of the new navy and the sense of oppression that Tsugakuni Yoriichi himself possessed.

After today's events are reported, people will not only pay attention to the reappearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni who has disappeared for several years, but will also pay attention to the way the Navy Headquarters is treating the new navy led by Yoriichi Tsugakuni as if it is facing a formidable enemy.

This is also the effect that the Warring States hope to achieve.

Standing on the high platform and looking at the silent crowd below, Zhan Guo knew that his goal should have been partially achieved.

When the warship carrying Tsugumi Yoriichi and Zephyr was still a hundred meters away from the harbor, Sengoku cleared his throat, turned his head slightly, and winked at Borsalino behind him.

The latter recalled, nodded slightly, and then walked forward.

Borsalino's actions also attracted the attention of Magellan and Sakaski who were on the platform, and they also cast their eyes towards Borsalino.

"What is this guy going to do?"

Until now, Sakaski still doesn't know what kind of attitude Sengoku wants to take to deal with the new navy. Before figuring out Sengoku's intentions, Sakaski has no idea of ​​acting rashly. He has been taking a wait-and-see attitude, quietly watching Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's ships approach.

But now it seems that Borsalino and Marshal Zhan Guo have reached some kind of tacit understanding? !

Under Sakaski's gaze, Borsalino walked out of the team and quickly turned into a golden stream of light, rushing straight into the sky and disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

Sakaski looked up in confusion and found that Borsalino, who had flown into the air, had his hands crossed and bright golden light condensed at his fingertips. It seemed that he was planning to attack the Dawn warship near the coast without making any noise.

"?!"

Sakaski couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw this scene. If his memory was correct, at the previous high-level meeting within the navy, Borsalino's statement was somewhat in favor of the new navy? !
So why.
Before Sakaski could think deeply, dense spots of light shot out from Borsalino's fingertips and poured directly towards the Dawn warship near the coast.

Yasakani no Magatama.

Laser spots covered the sky above the Marinford Harbor, and the dazzling golden light made it impossible for ordinary sailors to open their eyes.

"General Kizaru has taken action?!"

"Is this a direct war with the New Navy?!"

Obviously, these navy men gathered at the harbor did not expect that their admiral would attack without saying a word. They were already somewhat afraid of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's reputation, and many of them were actually still hoping for a lucky break. They did not want the navy headquarters to go to war with Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's new navy, and thought that there might be room for maneuver in this matter.

After all, once the war breaks out, these ordinary soldiers will suffer.

But who would have thought that the top leaders of both sides would start fighting directly without any communication.
Seeing that they were about to fight with the new navy, the soldiers on the coast couldn't help but tighten their weapons. Some of them who could not wait even loaded their guns and looked at Borsalino in the air with nervous faces.

offshore.

At the bow of the Dawn, Ji Guoyuan looked up at the sky full of lasers and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't seen this scene for many years.

He and Borsalino had not seen each other for several years. He did not expect that when they met again, the other party would be so enthusiastic to give him such a big gift.

"Too enthusiastic, I can't accept it."

Yunichirō's observation Haki instantly locked onto Borsalino in mid-air, and then he swept his eyes towards the platform where Gao Zhan Guo and others were at the harbor, and casually drew the long sword from his waist. Under the gaze of everyone on the ship, Yunichirō jumped lightly, left the deck directly, and flew towards the sky full of lasers.

The firing speed of the Yasakani no Magatama was so fast that it appeared above the Dawn warship in just a moment.

However, just when the laser was about to destroy the large ship, a cutting machine shot out directly from the ship below.

The slash went up into the air and instantly dispersed the laser group aimed at the warship. After breaking Borsalino's attack, it attacked in the opposite direction where Borsalino was.

It was obviously the party that took the initiative to attack, but it was easy to attack and defend in the blink of an eye.

"It's so scary——"

Seeing the slash coming, Borsalino let out a soft sigh. Although he said some timid words, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

This domineering slashing power
There is no doubt that the overly young man who appeared in Marinford with Zephyr was indeed Yuichiro Tsugumi.

Although the eyewitness reports about Tsugakuni Yoriichi were personally reported by Magellan and Sam, and according to them, Tsugakuni Yoriichi even killed three of the Five Elders after appearing on Fishman Island, Borsalino has always been skeptical about this matter, and he must personally confirm whether Tsugakuni Yoriichi is alive or dead.

This concerns the future of the world, the future of him and his subordinates, so he has to be cautious.

When he saw Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's appearance from afar before, the doubt in Borsalino's heart had not dissipated, but when Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's slash appeared, he no longer had such doubts in his heart.

In today's world, there are no more than three people who can make such a slash.

Moreover, Borsalino saw it clearly. The slash that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi swung in the counterattack was as easy as eating and drinking.

There was no accumulation of power at all, and he looked very relaxed.

What is certain is that this level of attack is not at all the strongest strength for Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

But Yasakani no Magatama.
It is already one of Borsalino's stronger offensive means. Although the single power of the laser has not reached its peak, it is a laser attack created by the ability of the Pika Pika Nomi after all. Even if the single power is weakened in order to increase the coverage area, it cannot be dealt with by ordinary means.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Borsalino's figure turned into dazzling golden light in mid-air and then burst apart.

And just the next second after Borsalino's figure disappeared, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash cut through the air and soared into the sky.

"Boom——"

It was not until a few seconds after Tsugumi Yoshiichirō's slash disappeared that a thunder sounded in the sky.

Thunder roared in a clear sky, and the terrifying noise made the soldiers on the coast tremble subconsciously.

After his unsuccessful attack, Borsalino did not stop. After dodging Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's counterattack by using elementalization, his figure quickly condensed into a physical entity on the coast. At the same time, a light mirror appeared in his hands.

Before everyone on the shore could react, a bright beam of light shot out, refracted several times in the air, and shone directly on the bow of the warship. There, Zefa's pupils shrank and his face darkened slightly.

At the same time, Borsalino's figure re-emerged above Zefa. In just a moment, the admiral had crossed a hundred meters of sea and appeared on the Dawn warship.

"long time no see--"

"Teacher Zefa!"

Borsalino, who had re-condensed his body, spun slightly, and then kicked Zefa in the head at the speed of light.

He was giving it his all and not holding back at all, aiming to take Zefa's life.

The appearance of Borsalino also caused the new navy on the deck to exclaim in surprise.

Kizaru's attack came suddenly, and no one probably expected that the other party would actually target Zephyr.

However, Zefa remained calm in the face of Kizaru's attack. He did not even make any defensive moves. He just raised his head slightly, glanced at his former disciple, and said:

"You're still the same. You haven't improved at all."

"I don't have a stupid disciple like you."

At the same time that Zephyr was speaking, a black blade light had already emerged from the side of Zephyr. Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who had already flown off the deck, had returned to the ship at some point and drew his sword to block Borsalino's light-speed kick.

"Om-"

The elemental leg and Yoriichi Tsugakuni's blade collided with each other, and a dull groan sounded on the deck.

"Oh——"

"So fast! Tsugikoku Yoriichi."

"It's been a while since we last met. Your strength hasn't declined at all."

Borsalino felt the huge force coming from his feet, and he could not control his body and chose to withdraw the force actively. After his body quickly turned into elements, the light and shadow flew back, and he condensed his body again directly on the fence at the bow.

Borsalino stood on the fence with his feet and his hands in his trousers, looking down at Yuichiro Tsugakuin and Zefa on the boat with a look of relief on his face.

Ji Guoyuan glanced at Borsalino, who looked quite cool, and a slight smile appeared on his face:
"You too, you are still as charming as ever."

"but."

"Isn't it rude of you to suddenly attack us like this?"

"Was it Marshal Zhan Guo's instruction, or your own idea?"

It has been a while since I last saw Borsalino, and at this moment, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni didn't know what the other person was thinking.

Before you start, it's still necessary to confirm.

"Well"

"Marshal Warring States's thoughts are also my thoughts."

"If we allow you to break into the Navy Headquarters like this, how will others view us?"

"What do you think, General Tsugumi Yuichi?"

Brusalino's address to Tsugikuni Yoriichi made Zefa's pupils shrink slightly, and when he heard this, he instantly understood Brusalino's inner thoughts.

Jiguoyuan is a great general.
It has been a long time since Tsugikuni Yoshiichi heard such a name. When he first worked with Borsalino, the other party seemed to call him like this.

Apparently, even after all these years, Borsalino hasn't changed much.

However, this was also within the expectations of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

It's surprising how easily a person like Borsalino changes his mind.

“So that’s how it is”

"Long time no see, Borsalino!"

Ji Guoyuan greeted Borsalino with a smile, and the next moment, his figure appeared in front of the other party. He held the long sword in his hand and hit Borsalino directly on the chest.
