Chapter 706 New World! (2 in 1)

Drums of liberation.

As the name suggests, just as those ancient survivors who know the truth of the world hope in their hearts, when the sound of the drum of liberation appears in this world, it will be the day when they are liberated from the adversities of life.

And on the same night that Yoriichi Tsugakuni completely destroyed the holy land, the drum of liberation sounded throughout the world.

IWC.

Xiong and Abel, who were sleeping, seemed to sense something and woke up almost at the same time. The sound of drums came from afar, long and distant, and clearly echoed in their ears. But it seemed that only the two of them could hear the sound. No one else on Cake Island heard such a noise. The night on Cake Island was as peaceful as usual.

“What’s that drum sound?”

Abel quickly got up from the bed, simply put on a coat and hurried outside. He was a senior officer of the new navy and had his own house on Cake Island. Although the living area was not large, it was in the most core area of ​​Cake Island.

The area where he lives is populated by the highest-ranking officials of the new navy.

However, when Abel heard the noise and walked out of the house to check the source of the sound, he found that the other houses were quiet and there was nothing unusual.

He seemed to be the only one who noticed something was wrong.

Abel looked around, and the drum sound that echoed in his ears soon disappeared. After the drum sound disappeared, Abel's face showed some doubts.

"Is it my illusion?"

At this moment, Abel couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with his hearing. There were many strong people on Cake Island, and there was no reason why he was the only one who heard the drum sound and came out to investigate.

Just when Abel was about to return to his house, someone flew onto the roof of a small courtyard not far away. The other person's huge body was so conspicuous under the night sky that Abel spotted him at the first moment.

After seeing the figure clearly, Abel also stopped, and then his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

"Xiong, why are you out so late?"

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

In a flash, Abel had already arrived next to the tall figure. The person standing next to Abel at this time was none other than the bear.

At this time, the bear was looking up in the direction of Redchiled Island. He could clearly see that was the direction where the drum sound came from.

Hearing Abel's words, Xiong also slightly side-glanced, chuckled, shook his head, and asked:
"Abel, don't you hear the drum of liberation calling you?"

The call of the drums of liberation.
Abel's pupils shrank when he heard this. He was different from the ancient survivors like Bear who had a legitimate heritage. Abel's understanding of Joyboy, the liberation fighter, was extremely limited. Although he could hear Joyboy's drumbeats like all the other "peers", he couldn't tell the source of that drumbeat.

He heard the drum sound and went out to investigate. After seeing the bear, he was actually wondering in his heart whether the bear heard the same sound as him, but in order to avoid embarrassment he asked the question. Unexpectedly, as he expected, the bear not only heard the drum sound, but also knew the origin of the drum sound.

"Drums of Liberation?!"

Abel murmured softly, with a look of deep curiosity in his eyes.

"Bear, what did you say that sound was?"

Before Abel could finish, Xiong interrupted with a hint of excitement: "Liberation fighter Joey Boy has appeared."

"That sound you hear is the beating of Joyboy's heart. We call it the drum of liberation."

"We've finally waited for it"

Xiong seemed to be in a bad state at this moment, with great emotional fluctuations. When he said this, his eyes were already filled with tears. I don't know what he was thinking about at this moment, the hardships he had endured in the holy land since he was a child, or his parents who had passed away long ago.

In short, the appearance of the drum of liberation touched the bear's mind.

"Joey Boy? You mean Joy Boy?"

Abel's face was filled with shock when he clearly heard the name Joyboy from the bear's mouth.

Abel is different from Bear. Bear had an extremely miserable childhood, and what supported him through that miserable time was the stories his parents told him about the liberation fighter Joey Boy.

When Bear was little, he regarded Joyboy as his belief and believed that someone would help him escape from his miserable life.

After growing up and meeting Ryu and Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, Kuma finally took control of his own destiny. But even so, Joy Boy still holds a very high position in his heart.

And Abel has relied on himself all the way. Maybe on a certain night, Abel also fantasized that Joyboy would come to liberate him.

But what has supported him to this day is Kaido and his own sword.

Although he also believes that Joy Boy is real, he has never regarded Joy Boy as his own belief. He only believes in the strong, who used to be his eldest brother Kaido and now is Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

However, Abel knew very well that if Joyboy really reappeared in this world as Xiong said, it would be hard to predict what kind of turmoil would happen in the world.

People like the Liberation Fighters should be able to chat with Mr. Yuichi Tsugikoku.
As Abel digested the shocking clarity, this thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Abel, I need to go out for a while. Please tell Mr. Yixiao for me tomorrow morning."

Just as Abel was lost in thought, Xiong suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Abel was startled when he heard this and asked, "Go out? Leave Wan Guo?"

"Was it because of that drumbeat we heard? Looking for Joyboy?"

Abel looked puzzled, not quite understanding what the bear was thinking.

Today, Xiong is no longer alone. He has a family and friends in the new navy. Xiong and Ginny have been married for a long time, and they even gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, a few years ago. The couple lives in love and harmony.

Xiong himself is a person who attaches great importance to family. Since he had a child, he rarely left Wan Guo. Yixiao and Zefa always took Xiong's needs into consideration when assigning tasks and rarely sent him out.

Whether it was because of the so-called "Drum of Liberation" that Abel left Wanguo, he really couldn't understand Xiong's decision.

"Well, Joyboy is calling me, and I plan to go over and see for myself."

Xiong nodded seriously, and his words made Abel's expression even more confused.

"call?!"

"Tsk, I heard that drumbeat too. Is he calling me too?"

"Should I go when he calls me? Who does he think he is?"

"Liberation fighters."

"Haha, if he is really a liberation fighter, I think we will soon be able to find out about him through other channels."

"If he stands with our new navy, we will help him." "There is no need to rush over just because of the drumbeat."

"Bear, we are not only representing ourselves now, we are also representing the new navy and Mr. Tsugukuni Yoshiichi."

Although he didn't know what was in the bear's head at this moment, Abel would not run over to look for the so-called Joey Boy just because of the drum sound.

What could the Liberation Fighters do? Abel really didn't believe that there was no force in the world that could ignore their new navy, and he didn't believe that there was any strong man who could ignore the existence of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Even if Joey and Boy really reappeared in this world, if this liberation fighter really wanted to do something, he would not be able to avoid their new navy.

In the New World, even Joyboy can't do anything without the approval of their new navy!
This is Abel's absolute confidence in his own strength, as well as a strong sense of centralization. Compared to Xiong, Abel is the one who truly knows his position.

Although Xiong has a simple and honest personality, he is also a smart man and naturally understands what Abel meant.

Hearing this, Xiong shook his head: “Abel, you don’t know Joyboy.”

"The reason why the liberation fighters are liberation fighters is that they are guided by fate."

"I am also very clear about my current status. Going to find Joyboy is not only for myself, but also for our new navy."

"It's not just you and me who can hear the call of the drum of liberation. There will be many people who will hear the drum and then obey the call and gather around Joyboy."

"Soon, a terrifying force will gather around him that even our new navy will not be able to ignore."

"And this terrifying force will be guided by fate and sweep across the world."

"I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person he is. Our new navy must prepare for this early."

After hearing Xiong's explanation, Abel realized that he had been thinking wrongly. Xiong has a family. How could a man like him abandon his family to pursue the so-called Joey Boy?
The reason they wanted to go to sea was probably because the bears saw the power that could be accumulated behind the name Joyboy, and the risks that this power posed to their new navy.

"Xiong, I think we should not rush this matter."

"It's just a drum beat. It doesn't mean anything."

"Besides, Mr. Tsugukuni Yoriichi and Mr. Zephyr are not in Wan Guo at the moment. We should at least wait for them to come back before discussing this."

"We will inform Mr. Yixiao of the situation tomorrow."

"This is about Joyboy. If it's true as you said, the impact of this incident will be huge. We must be cautious."

"Bear, if you go out alone, there will be no one to take care of you if something happens."

"Let Mr. Tsugukuni Yoshiichi and the others make the decision. If you really need to send someone to check on Joy Boy, I will ask to go with you."

"Even if you don't consider your own safety, you should consider Ginny and your two children."

Abel gently tugged at the corner of Bear's clothes and spoke to him earnestly to comfort him.

He knew Xiong's character well, so he brought Xiong's family out when trying to persuade him.

"."

Sure enough, Xiong fell silent after hearing this. What Abel said made sense. Although Xiong didn't think that Joey Boy would be a dangerous person, from a macro perspective, this matter was not something he could decide.

Ultimately, it is the senior leaders of the new navy who need to make the decision.

"Go to sleep first. We will go to see Mr. Yixiao together tomorrow morning."

Abel patted the bear's arm, and when he saw that the bear had calmed down, he turned around and left silently.

The bear stayed on the roof for a moment, then returned to his house.

But even after returning to their room, Abel and Xiong still couldn't sleep all night.

It wasn't just Xiong and Abel who heard the call of the Drum of Liberation. Many people in the New World also heard the sound of the Drum of Liberation.

These people are different from the bear and Abel. Joyboy is deeply engraved in their minds like a belief. After hundreds of years of "missionary work", Joyboy's existence has long been worshipped as a god by those people.

Hearing Joyboy's call, these ancient survivors took action one after another, and people all over the world were responding to this drum of liberation.

However, as the instigator of this incident, Luffy was currently sleeping soundly in the cabin of the Sunny. He had no idea what was happening in the outside world, nor did he know how many people would not be able to sleep tonight because of him.

"meat"

Luffy's mumbling sounded in the cabin, followed by a slight snoring sound.

The next day, the dawn was just breaking.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the cemetery of Marlene Ford.

Zefa, who had not slept all night, stood in front of the grave of his wife and children with a tired look, his eyes already moist. In front of him, several sailors in plain clothes were gently digging the soil with shovels.

Today is the day that Zefa will commemorate his wife and children and move their graves.

Perhaps because the sight of the objects reminded him of someone, Zefa couldn't help but recall every moment of his life with his wife and children, and he could hardly suppress the sadness in his heart.

Behind Zefa, Ji Guoyuan changed his favorite red shirt into a black suit. Beside him, Zhan Guo watched the soldiers helping to relocate the graves without saying a word, with no expression of sadness or joy on his face.

At this moment, he was thinking about the future of the navy, and for this reason, Zhan Guo had not slept all night.

Today, Zefa's relocation of the graves for his wife and children was just a small matter that could be easily handled. The real trouble was the upcoming summit meeting between their naval headquarters and the new navy.

The holy land has been completely destroyed by Yoshiichi Tsugumi, and all the Celestial Dragons have died under Yoshiichi Tsugumi's attack.

Next, the world will be dominated by their naval headquarters and the new navy.

Where exactly they want to lead the world is something that must be carefully considered.

Zhan Guo had thought of many plans in one night, but those plans could only be carried out after discussing with Jiguo Yuanyi.

Moreover, compared to those plans, to be more practical, the generals and officers of the Navy Headquarters are more concerned about whether their military rank can be retained!

In the cemetery, there was a heavy atmosphere brewing as if a storm was about to come.

Some high-ranking naval officers looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Zephyr intentionally or unintentionally, and they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. After Sengoku came back, he did not hide the news. In fact, many well-informed people already knew about the collapse of the holy land that night.
