Chapter 765: The Pusher of Fate, Decide to Attack! (2 in 1)

The expansion of the Straw Hat Pirates' military strength was indeed beyond the expectations of Yoriichi Tsugakuni. He judged the Straw Hat Pirates to be "non-threatening", but when their strength really reached that level, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, as the Chief of Staff of the Navy, also had to consider the threat that this huge force could pose to his plans.

The Straw Hat Grand Fleet has a strength of over 10,000 people. According to intelligence from Wano Country, the remnants of the Giant Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates have also joined the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, becoming the helpers of Straw Hat Luffy.

Although on the surface it seems that their military strength is far from comparable to that of the navy, but in fact, the pirates who are now part of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet are all pirates who roam the New World.

The strength of those people who were able to survive in the new world under the governance of the new navy must be unquestionable.

What's more, Jiguoyuan already had a certain understanding of the strength of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Those people of Wano Country had been personally contacted by Tsugakuni Yoriichi. They promised Tsugakuni Yoriichi that they would never become enemies with the new navy and would stay safely in Wano Country and live ordinary lives.

But now it seems
With the appearance of Straw Hat Luffy, it seems that the promise that Oden made to Yoriichi Tsugakuni is no longer valid.

After a little thought, Tsugukuni Yoriichi can actually roughly understand Kozuki Oden's mental journey. The Kozuki clan of Wano Country is essentially no different from the Bakhaniya clan of Kuma.

In fact, the successive generals of Wano Country have been tightly bound by the ghosts of the past. They have been closed off from the outside world for so many years, waiting for the so-called opportunity to "open the country."

But in fact, the Kozuki family's long rule over Wano Country has not made Wano Country truly prosperous. Although their isolation from the outside world has allowed Wano Country to reproduce for generations, the lives of ordinary people have never improved.

The technology of their country has long been out of touch with the world. Even if it is now founded, apart from being able to sell food to other countries, their country itself does not have much value to the world.

It was passed down to the generation of Kozuki Oden. In fact, by combining the relationship between Oden and the Whitebeard Pirates, it was easy to bring real changes to Wano Country, allowing Wano Country's technology and people's livelihood to climb to a new level.

However, in Wano Country, which is bound by the legendary prophecy, there is no one who can do all of this. Although Kozuki Oden is the kind of guy who has the courage to rebel against his family and go to sea for freedom, the chains of family history still bind him.

After traveling at sea, Kozuki Oden believed in fate even more after returning to Wano Country.

For such a person and such a family, the moment they came into contact with Nika Luffy, it was already a foregone conclusion that they would break the agreement with Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

Even Kuma, who was closely related to Tsugokuni Yoshiichi, was devoted to the "legend" passed down from generation to generation, so it is not incomprehensible that Kozuki Oden would have similar behavior.

Not only the Kozuki clan has a mysterious trust in the Liberation Warriors, the giants probably have the same mentality as these people? !

It seems that the giants of Elbaf have never gotten along well with the World Government from the very beginning. Over the years, the relationship between Elbaf and both the World Government and the Navy has been very tense.

Although there are some giant vice admirals in the navy system, some of them were deceived and induced into working in the navy by the navy of the previous generation of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

In this respect, Elbaf has been on the opposite side of the Navy from the very beginning.

In addition to these two powerful forces, there are also many pirate groups that originally traveled on the sea and joined Straw Hat Luffy.

The New World is still stepping up its efforts to gather intelligence about these people, but judging from the current situation, the Straw Hat Fleet is already qualified to challenge the Navy.

After awakening, Luffy is able to fight even against an admiral-level force. On his ship, there is a young man as powerful as Sanji. Strictly speaking, he should be at the level of a vice-captain. I am afraid that the vice-admirals of the navy cannot defeat him alone.

Let’s not talk about how many top fighters Tsugukuni Yoshiichi has in Elbaf, just those guys in the Whitebeard Pirates have made a great contribution to the combat power of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Kozuki Oden has the potential to be an emperor. If he had made progress over the years, he should have "reached the top". Marco and other captains of the team would not be easy opponents for him.

Even if the navy opened fire at full power and even if there was a chance to wipe it out, it would probably suffer heavy casualties and severe damage, which would be a fatal blow to Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's next plan.

If the Straw Hat Pirates were to lose control today, the threat they would pose would be even greater than Dragon's Revolutionary Army.

Unknowingly, the kid Luffy has already gathered such a huge force that even the Marine Headquarters has to treat him with caution.

However, even though Yoshikazu Tsugakuni had already thought that the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was very powerful, in reality, the power that the Straw Hat Grand Fleet truly possessed still exceeded Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's imagination.

In addition to the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Giant Soldier Pirates of Elbaf shown in the intelligence, the crew of the Iron Wall Pirates who lost their captain Red-haired Shanks also reunited with Luffy and his crew under the leadership of Ben Beckman.

There was no sign of Shanks' disappearance. Red Hair's crew had been searching for Red Hair's whereabouts for such a long time. The Iron Wall Pirates did not fall apart without their captain. Instead, Beckman shocked the people on the ship with his prestige, stabilized their mentality, and continued to search for Red Hair's whereabouts.

After hearing about Luffy's deeds, they also found Luffy. On the one hand, they informed Luffy of Red Hair's disappearance in the hope of using Luffy's reputation and power to find the captain. On the other hand, Beckman made some compromises in order to satisfy the ambitions of some crew members.

It is true that Red Hair is missing, but the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates are still very interested in the "Great Treasure". Now Luffy is the person closest to the Great Treasure, and Beckman hopes to help Luffy realize his dream of becoming the Pirate King.

In Beckman's opinion, Red Hair, who had been missing for such a long time, must have accidentally died in some sea area. Given the relationship between Shanks and Luffy, Beckman felt that Shanks would be very happy to see the day when Luffy becomes the Pirate King.

It's a pity that Shanks couldn't send Luffy to the throne himself.
Beckman plans to lead the crew to help Luffy accomplish what Shanks failed to accomplish.

With the bond between Shanks and Luffy, the power of the Iron Wall Pirates is also being rapidly absorbed by the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, so that the power of the Grand Fleet is gradually gathering the power of the other "two emperors" and is rapidly expanding.

After learning about the relevant information about the Straw Hat Pirates, Yoriichi Tsugokuni ordered Wanoku to step up surveillance and intelligence gathering on the Straw Hat Pirates.

He needs to systematically evaluate whether he needs to take preemptive action against the Straw Hat Pirates at this juncture.

But just a few weeks after hesitating, the latest news about the Straw Hat Pirates came from Wan Guo.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit reappeared in this world, and when Wan Guo just learned the news, the Straw Hat Fleet had already taken the lead and seized the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

According to subsequent information, the samurai Kozuki Oden from Wano Country ate the devil fruit and became a new ability user.

The world situation is changing too fast, and the Straw Hat Pirates' strength is growing so fast that it has far exceeded Tsugikuni Yoriichi's imagination.

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing the Straw Hat Pirates to move forward quickly. Whether it was the work of collecting landmark historical texts or the expansion of the team's strength, their strength was expanding very quickly.

And when their strength expanded to a certain extent, some opportunities also took the initiative to hit Straw Hat Luffy and others.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is just one manifestation of the rapid expansion of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet's strength.

“Is this the power of destiny?!”

"If this is fate, then do we need to end things between the Navy and Straw Hat Luffy?!" "What does the world look like in Joy Boy's eyes?!"

Marinford and Jigoku Yuanyi sat behind their desks, looking through various materials about the Straw Hat Pirates. After a long time, he put the materials in his hands aside, rubbed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair.

Tsugikoku Yuichi sometimes believes in fate, and sometimes doesn't
He is not originally from this world, so it is obviously impossible for him to have no belief in fate at all. If there is really no such thing, how could he appear in this world?

But it is impossible for Jiguo Yuanyi to completely believe in fate. He knows clearly that the reason why he can sit here as the Chief of Naval Staff at this moment is because of his strength and every choice he makes.

Now, it seems that Yuichiro Tsugikuni has once again come to a crossroads of choice. Which way he goes will determine his future.

"There is no time to hesitate any longer."

"Straw Hat Luffy's strength is expanding very quickly, and a decision must be made."

After muttering to himself, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi slowly stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the vibrant scene of Marinford, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's eyes became determined.

In just a few short minutes, Ji Guoyuan once again reviewed the path he had taken along the way, and he felt that everything he did was in line with his heart.

That's enough.

Next, he will act according to his own heart.

“The hidden dangers must be resolved.”

"Even if I don't take action now, fate will put Joyboy against me."

Perhaps in the eyes of Luffy and his companions, the day they become the Pirate King is the day when their dreams come true.

But in the eyes of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, becoming a pirate group is just the beginning of the real adventure for the Straw Hat Pirates!
What will you do after becoming the Pirate King, having wealth, fame, and power? !

Just go back to your own homes? After such an adventure, after becoming the Pirate King, disband the pirate group and return to a peaceful life? !
How is that possible?!

Power and wealth breed ambition; the more you have, the more you desire.

The closer the Straw Hat Pirates got to the Final Island, the more Yoriichi Tsugakuni could feel a dark cloud approaching their navy.

"Let's get rid of it completely."

After thinking for a long time, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was still unwilling to take such a risk.

Yoriichi knows that Luffy is different from ordinary pirates, but he will not gamble that Luffy will have no impact on the world after becoming the Pirate King.

That kind of thing is absolutely impossible. They assembled such a large fleet, and did nothing but play pirate games? !

Yuichiro Tsugikuni never underestimates any opponent, and never takes chances.

Luffy, who has grown to this stage, must use thunder.

Having already made up his mind, Yoriichi Tsugikuni used Den Den Mushi to call Sengoku and Borsalino, and then revealed his decision to the two.

Hearing that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was planning to attack the Straw Hat Pirates, Sengoku's face changed slightly. Luffy is Garp's grandson, and Sengoku was responsible for teaching and taking care of him for a period of time. Now that Luffy has become a pirate and has gathered such a large group of pirates to "rule the mountain", this is beyond Sengoku's control.

Yoriichi Tsugakuni has already developed the intention to kill Luffy, and after a brief thought, Sengoku had no choice but to agree with Yoriichi Tsugakuni's idea.

Compared to the only child of his old comrade, the future of the navy is more important. More importantly, Sengoku has no way of seeing any possibility that Luffy can become a navy.

Things had developed to this point, and Sengoku had to admit that he had failed to teach Luffy well and had led him astray.

"I plan to leave the headquarters and attack personally."

"During my absence, I'll leave the affairs to you, Marshal Zhan Guo."

Tsugumi Yoshikazu politely expressed his thoughts, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Sengoku was stunned.

"Attack in person?"

"Hey, Yunyi, you are the chief of staff, how can you do this kind of work by yourself?! It's against the rules!"

Zhan Guo questioned this when he heard it. He didn't think it was a good idea.

"No"

"I have to go for this matter."

"I will not give the Straw Hat Pirates any chance to take advantage of me. I will not send them any 'experience babies'."

"Since we have decided to attack, use the force of thunder to destroy them quickly!"

"I only trust myself in this matter now."

Facing the Straw Hat Pirates, Yoriichi Tsugakuni will not be at all arrogant.

He won't give the Straw Hat guys a chance to breathe. If he attacks, he will strike with all his strength!
He wanted to wipe out the loser, Joey Boy, from history once again, and this time, he would never give him a chance to make a comeback.

Including those affiliated forces, wipe them all out!
Seeing that Tsugakuni Yoriichi had made up his mind, Sengoku sighed after a brief silence. He knew that he could not stop Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

And this may be the most advantageous way for the navy!
