Chapter 167 New crew members! (two in one)
Joracle Mihawk followed Ji Guoyuan and they boarded the ship, but not as naval recruits.
Although Yuanyi said that Mihawk was a "reform-through-labour prisoner", in fact, after Mihawk boarded the ship, Ji Guoyuanyi did not really assign Mihawk any "servant" tasks, nor did he Mihawk put on the shackles that only prisoners need to wear, and it didn't even restrict Mihawk's movements.
Mihawk is like an ordinary citizen visiting the ship, even more free than many sailors.
After Guo Yuanyi returned to the ship, he privately asked Garp's intelligence officer to investigate Mihawk's past. He thought, if Mihawk has become a "Navy Hunter" now, then Mihawk's Reform through labor must become a reality.
However, what Ling Yuanyi didn't expect was that the result of the intelligence officer's investigation was quite different from what Yuanyi had expected.
Young Mihawk turned out to be a bounty hunter.
In other words, there is a record on the Navy's side about Mihawk handing over the head of a bounty prisoner in exchange for a bounty
As for other things about Mihawk, there are no more records from the Navy. Now Mihawk, who is only about twenty years old, is not well-known in this world at all.
Although I don't know why he will be called "Navy Hunter" in the future, or why he will be inseparable with the Four Emperors "Red Hair Shanks", but all these have become unimportant.
Now that Mihawk has been brought to the navy by Yuanyi, no matter what identity he is currently on board, he will only have one identity in the future. That is the navy!
Yuanyi has silently planned for Mihawk.
Not long after Ji Guoyuan and the others returned to the ship, two familiar figures appeared on the port.
The owner of Isshin Gym, Koshiro Shimotsuki, accompanied by his father, Kozaburo Shimotsuki, appeared on the pier with a package on his back.
When the two of them came to the pier, Ji Guoyuan was meditating on the bow of the boat, and Cyrus was the first to spot the two, standing on the deck and waving to the two on the pier.
On the pier, the two members of Shuangyue's family also saw the dog-headed warship docked on the pier, and also saw Cyrus who was waving at him at this time.
After Koshiro Shimotsuki glanced at Cyrus, he turned his head and said to Koshiro Shimotsuki with some guilt:
"Koshiro. I have wronged you!"
"There is no doubt that the navy knows Wano country very well, and he probably already knows that our Shimotsuki family is from Wano country."
"The Wano country hides secrets that can shake the world. I don't know how much that navy knows about our Shimotsuki family, but Koshiro, we can't bet."
"So that other people can live peacefully on this island, Koshiro."
Shimoyue Kosaburo spoke to his son with a heavy tone. Before he could finish speaking, Koshiro Shimotsuki interrupted:
"Father, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything."
"Although I don't know what their purpose is. But at least, they didn't tear their faces apart, did they?"
"And they just invited me to be in the navy. I just want to see the sea."
"To be honest, if I have the chance, I would like to go back to Wano Country."
"Father, you don't have to worry about me. Take care of yourself during my absence."
Shimotsuki Koshiro said his final farewell to his father on the pier. The father and son talked for a long time, and then Shimotsuki Koshiro walked towards the dog-headed warship with his own package on his back and a long sword pinned to his waist.
Cyrus on the deck had already realized what had happened at this moment, and asked someone to put down the long ladder early. When Shimotsuki Koshiro walked onto the deck, he smiled at Shimotsuki Koshiro and said:
"Welcome to join our navy, Mr. Koshiro Shimotsuki!"
"Thank you." Facing Cyrus who greeted him, Shimotsuki Koshiro pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, smiled and nodded.
Then, under the leadership of Cyrus, went to the bow of the ship to meet Ji Guoyuanyi.
Seeing Koshiro Shimotsuki's arrival, Ji Guoyuan was quite happy.
Unlike Mihawk's treatment, Koshiro Shimotsuki, who had just boarded the ship, was led by Cyrus to register relevant information, and then received a set of navy uniforms, officially becoming a navy.
At the same time, under the guidance of the quartermaster on Garp's ship, Mihawk and Koshiro Shimotsuki were assigned to a double room.
It has to be said that Ji Guoyuan still gave the two of them preferential treatment different from that of the ordinary navy, and he also did his utmost humanitarianism to Mihawk, a "reform through labor prisoner".
Koshiro Shimotsuki returned to the deck after putting on his navy uniform.
At this time, Ji Guoyuan had finished his meditation for the day, holding a bamboo knife in his forehand, and was exchanging ideas with Mihawk.
There were no entertainment activities on the navy's warship. During the time when the warship was docked and waiting for Karp to return, the sailors on board were doing their own things except for necessary patrols.
Some gathered to play cards, some exercised in the cabin, and some stayed in the room to sleep.
Anyway, except for the sailors on duty, the rest are very free.
Not to mention Ji Guoyuan and others who did not belong to this ship's establishment.
Mihawk is a fighting madman. Although he lost to Ji Guoyuanyi when he was on the island, Mihawk, who already had a clear goal, would not waste time "tasting failure" at all, but directly devoted himself to cultivation among.
And with the existence of Ji Guo Yuan Yi, Mihawk will not lack opponents.
Regarding Mihawk's challenge, Ji Guoyuan had no intention of rejecting it at all. Although Mihawk's current strength is somewhat different from his own, but as a training partner, Mihawk is fully qualified.
Before Mihawk boarded the boat, Yuanyi was worried about not having a suitable opponent. Yixiao is a devil fruit capable person, which is not suitable as a training partner, but Mihawk is a pure swordsman. For Yuanyi , it couldn't be more appropriate.
"Da da!!"
The sound of bamboo knives colliding kept coming out, and on the empty deck, the figures of Ji Guoyuanyi and Mihawk flickered and staggered.
Since it was training, Yuanyi didn't use the ability to kill with knowledge, and he also grasped a certain degree of domineering output, trying to fight Mihawk with the same strength and speed as his opponent. The confrontation between the two was more of a confrontation of sword skills.
But in this kind of confrontation of sword skills, Mihawk was at a disadvantage in the battle with Ji Guoyuanyi.
In Jiguo Yuanyi's transparent world, there is no way for Mihawk's every move to hide from Yuanyi's eyes. During the battle with Yuanyi, Mihawk felt very uncomfortable. He felt that he was naked in front of Yuanyi. Everything about him was completely understood by his opponent.
"Boom!"
On the deck, after being blocked by Yuanyi, Mihawk was chopped on the wrist by Yuanyi's bamboo knife. The hand holding the knife subconsciously let go, and the bamboo knife fell to the ground.
And Yuan Yi, who shot down the opponent's weapon, also stopped at the right time, and the tip of the knife touched the body of the bamboo knife on the ground, and with a light pick, he picked the bamboo knife to Mihawk.
Mihawk, who caught the bamboo knife again, didn't talk nonsense, grabbed the knife with one hand and rushed towards Yuanyi again.
Koshiro Shimotsuki, who arrived on the deck, watched the battle between the two, and silently walked to Yixiao and Cyrus, who were watching the battle, and asked suspiciously, "You two, what's going on?"
"Who is that young man who fought against Lieutenant General Ji Guo? It looks very strong!"
At this time, the clothes on Mihawk's body had already become tattered during the battle. Through the "holes" in the clothes, Koshiro could see that there were many bloodstains on Mihawk's body from the bamboo knife.
But Mihawk didn't seem to feel the pain in his body, and he attacked Yuanyi with excitement on his face.
Koshiro, who is also a swordsman, could feel Mihawk's vigorous fighting spirit, and was also full of curiosity about this young man, so he couldn't help asking.
"He, Joracle Mihawk, aims to become the number one swordsman in the world."
"Now Lieutenant General Ji is helping him grow up."
Hearing the words with a smile, he replied with a smile.
As soon as Yixiao finished speaking, the change in the center of the deck became prominent, and Ji Guoyuan once again struck Mihawk with a bamboo knife. This time, Yuanyi used a little more domineering power and directly knocked Mihawk out. .
Mihawk's figure suddenly disappeared on the deck and fell towards the sea.
"Plop!"
As Mihawk's figure disappeared, a column of water also rose from the sea.
"Ah?! Sorry, sorry!"
"Accidentally applied too much force!"
Seeing Mihawk being knocked into the air, Yuanyi immediately yelled apologetically, then ran towards the guardrail, saw Mihawk falling into the sea, turned his head and shouted to Cyrus:
"Hey~Cyrus, please, please bring that guy up."
"After taking this blow from me, Mihawk will be drowned if he chokes on water."
Ji Guoyuan smiled and said to Cyrus, seeing Yuanyi's appearance, Cyrus shook his head helplessly, and sighed to Koshiro: "As you can see, they are 'discussing' Woolen cloth"
Saying so, Cyrus jumped directly into the sea.
"Discussion?!"
"This is unilateral crushing, right? It's already considered beating."
Koshiro didn't say this out loud, but just thought about it in his heart, and then looked at Ji Guo Yuanyi, and couldn't help showing a little more awe.
If possible, during the time he was in the navy, he didn't want to compete with his lieutenant general.
Sensing Koshiro's gaze, Enichi turned his head and smiled at Koshiro. Although Enichi thought his smile was very kind, Koshiro's hairs stood on end at this moment, and he slightly avoided Enichi's sight. to the sea.
He was afraid of being caught by Yuan Yi to compete
Soon, Cyrus rescued Mihawk back to the deck. Following Guoyuanyi’s force just now, Mihawk who fell into the sea really choked on water. After returning to the deck, he coughed violently Then, the sea water spit out from his belly.
"Are you okay? Mihawk, I'm sorry!"
Yuan Yi squatted beside Mihawk, and asked with some concern.
And Mihawk just glanced at Yuanyi resentfully, wanting to say something, but coughed.
"Don't talk yet, let your breath go." Yuan Yi patted Mihawk on the back and said, however, his actions only made Mihawk's cough more severe
Sensing Mihawk's eyes that wanted to kill, Yuanyi stopped his hands in embarrassment, laughed, looked at the ragged Mihawk, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said with a smile:
"Let's stop here for today's training. Your clothes are torn. Go change."
"There are no prison uniforms on board, but you can wear navy clothes first."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Yuanyi patted Mihawk on the shoulder, stood up slowly, said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he winked at Cyrus. Cyrus, who received the signal, helped Mihawk up and led him back to the cabin.
Up to now, Mihawk has more or less known some of Ji Guo Yuan Yi's intentions, but he does not reject it. It doesn't matter to him whether he becomes a navy or not. The important thing is that he must defeat Ji Guo Yuan Yi, and then go to sea to challenge a stronger swordsman than Ji Guo Yuan Yi and become the number one in the world!
Getting stronger is what Mihawk is pursuing now!
As for the others? ! It doesn't matter what it is!
After Cyrus and Mihawk left, Yuanyi also put away the bamboo knife, walked to the bow of the boat, leaned against the railing, and looked at the sea.
As the sun sets, golden sunlight shines on the sea, sparkling. Seabirds flew over the sea area in front of Yuanyi's eyes, and the sea breeze came slowly, making Ji Guoyuan, who had just sweated all over, feel comfortable and couldn't help squinting his eyes.
"The weather is a bit cold." A laughing voice came from Yuanyi's ear, and the cloak of justice was put on Yuanyi's body again.
"Thank you! Smile."
Yuan Yi didn't turn his head, looked at the sea view, and said with a smile.
There was no response, just smiled and just stood quietly behind Yuanyi, looking at the sea.
Koshiro also came to Jiguo Yuanyi's side at this moment, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the serene lieutenant general beside him from the corner of his eye. will be linked together.
"Koshiro, welcome to join our navy."
Suddenly, Ji Guoyuan, who was looking at the sea view, said so, and before Koshiro could answer, Enichi turned his head slightly, stretched out his hand towards Koshiro, and said:
"I invite you to become a navy just because I think your ability is outstanding, there is no other reason."
"And I don't think people your age should stay in that small town."
"This sea is vast, Koshiro, can you please go and see it with me?!"
"Of course, if you change your mind now, I won't have any opinion. I'm sorry for saying that to you in the gym."
After fighting with Mihawk, Enichi's heart completely calmed down, and after calming down, Enichi couldn't help but reflect on whether it was appropriate for him to "invite" Koshiro Shimotsuki to join the navy in such a way.
He actually doesn't want anyone to be coerced into joining the navy. It is difficult for such a person to become a "seed of change".
Yuan attached great importance to the branch that he was about to form, and to a certain extent, Yuan Yi's plan was perfect.
As for Mihawk. He is not the same as Koshiro, Mihawk is a pure person and Enichi can easily dye him his own color.
"change idea?!"
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, you are joking."
"I joined the navy voluntarily. If I have the opportunity, I actually want to go back to Wano Country."
"I don't want to be like my father, guarding that village all the time."
"I'm actually looking forward to the life above the sea!"
Jianyuan opened up his words, and Koshiro also smiled and said what was in his heart. On Koshiro's glasses, Enichi's gentle face was reflected, looking at the young lieutenant general in front of him, Koshiro no longer felt any unhappiness in his heart.
"Welcome, Koshiro."
"This time, you are really welcome, you are welcome to join our navy!"
Koshiro's hand held Enichi's hand, sensing Koshiro's movement, Enichi's smile grew wider.
While the two were talking, Mihawk changed into a white navy shirt and black slim-fit trousers, and returned to the deck with Cyrus.
Seeing Mihawk and Cyrus walking towards him, Yuanyi's eyes fell on Mihawk's body, and he pressed his temple helplessly.
Is Mihawk a bit afraid of heat? ! Why are navy shirts not buttoned properly? !
After coming to Yuanyi's side, Yuanyi introduced each other to Koshiro and Mihawk, so that everyone knew each other.
The sun was setting and the sun was shining on the deck. The young people who had just met were chatting while looking at the sea view.
By the time Lieutenant General Karp returned to the warship after seeing his son, night had already fallen.
Those who greeted him were Ji Guoyuan and others.
Garp, who stepped onto the deck, saw two strange faces appearing behind Ji Guoyuan, full of doubts.
After subconsciously releasing the domineering aura of knowledge and feeling the breath of Mihawk and Koshiro, Garp's expression became very strange.
After scratching his hair, Karp couldn't help but asked Yuanyi:
"Yuanyi, where did you find these two treasures?!"
Yuanyi smiled and replied:
"No need to look for it."
"Fate will bring us like-minded people together."
When Garp heard this, he let out his nostrils, snorted softly, and said in a muffled voice:
"A brat. Pretentious."
"Let's go! Go back to the capital of the seven waters. After you go back, the design of your warship should also be ready."
"Go and see, what that guy Tom can come up with!"
