Chapter 253 Cutting off the route and having the first conversation with Jhin! (2-in-1)

The route that runs through the New World from Fishman Island to Dressrosa.

This is what Jiguo Enichi has been planning for these days. The second half of the Great Route is very different from the ocean environment in the four seas. Here, it is not easy to complete the voyage between the islands, and the existence of the recording pointer also limits the route to a certain extent. .

After operating in Dressrosa for so many years, Jiguo Enichi finally recognized the reality, that is, the pirates in the new world can never be killed by killing.

The aboriginal people of the New World were either lured and coerced by pirates, or their desires amplified and they went to sea to fight for their future. And the routes in the first half and second half of the Grand Route are not cut off. For these reasons, the number of pirates in the new world will not decrease, but will increase.

The number of pirates that Enichi Tsukuni and his Dawn Branch could kill were probably not as "consumed" by those pirates killing each other.

In order to completely change this situation, Ji Guoyuan thought of first blocking the front and rear sections of the Grand Route.

Regardless of whether it is the world government or pirates, only by sealing the shipping routes can Jikoku Enichi be able to calm down and slowly clean up the pirates in the new world and clean up the "soil" that breeds pirates.

Only by attacking pirates at the source can we create a relatively harmonious world environment.

And now the navy led by Marshal Sengoku is flexing its muscles all over the world, which is also a good thing for Jiguo Enichi.

If it weren't for the high cost of moving the branch, he really wanted to move the branch to Fishman Island, and then establish a naval branch on the three islands of Ridchiled Island, Thunder God Island, and Mystria Island to completely block it. route.

However, it is simply impossible to realize this plan. Fortunately, Fish-Man Island can say that if Tiger and Jinbe are allowed to return, with their abilities, they can establish a force to stop pirates on Fish-Man Island. The troops are not impossible either.

Even though the vast majority of fishmen and mermaids do not want to bear the name of the navy, if they fight on their own land to maintain the peace of their own islands, they will definitely get a response from many people.

The maritime environment of the two islands, Ridchiled Island and Mystria Island, is relatively stable. It is not impossible to establish a naval branch here. You only need to send a strong man to sit in the branch and seal off the routes.

But the most difficult place is Thunder God Island.

As the name of Thunder God Island implies, the sky above the island is covered by thunderclouds all year round, and lightning strikes will hit the ground from time to time. The risk of establishing a naval branch on this island is really too great.

Even Jiguo Yuanyi himself is not sure whether he can withstand the power of nature with his current ability. There is no way to compare the thunderous fruit of Enelu with pure natural thunder and lightning.

Of course, if even a pirate of Baki's level could withstand that kind of lightning strike, then Enichi Tsukuni was confident that he would have no problem.

But who knows whether the lightning that struck Bucky back then came from the ability derived from the Dragon Devil Fruit or Wang Luffy's true destiny, which triggered the wrath of the "Power of the World".

If possible, Yuanyi doesn't want to gamble.

Therefore, after much thought, his only solution was to use Fish-Man Island as a foundation, seal Ridchiled Island and Mystria Island, and then seal several islands that could be accessed after Thor Island.

But there is a problem with this approach, that is, there are not enough strong men in his navy branch!

There is no doubt that Enichi Jiguo needs to be in charge of Dressrosa, and Mihawk's temperament makes it impossible for him to be in charge of any island. Mihawk's favorite thing to do is to discuss and fight with Ji Guoyuan. After practicing, he drinks red wine, cooks and relaxes.

One thing to say is that Mihawk's cooking skills are quite good. Mihawk, who has been wandering the sea all year round, is a person who has high requirements for the quality of life. He will not eat anything that is too unpalatable.

This guy never goes to the navy's canteen. He has always made a small meal for himself. Sometimes Yuanyi will go to Mihawk's to eat and drink.

Apart from Mihawk, Enichi had very few subordinates that he could use. Koushiro Shigetsuki's strength completely stagnated after his marriage. In September of this year, when Enichi Sikuni was still leading people to fight abroad, Koushiro Shigetsuki His wife added a girl to Shuangyue's family.

Koushiro, who has a wife and children, usually teaches kendo to children at the Naval Academy in Dressrosa, and he no longer trains himself.

In this regard, Ji Guoyuan didn't say much.

Although Koushiro Shigezuki is a marine, before the navy, he is first a husband and a father. Yuichi cannot ask everyone to be like Mihawk.

Enichi respects every navy's choice, not to mention that Koushiro has already helped Enichi a lot by teaching kendo at the naval academy.

Except for Shigetsuki Koushiro and Mihawk, the only ones under Enichi who can take charge are Tiger, Jinbe, and Cyrus.

Tiger and Jinbe are both idealists, and the biggest ideal and tie in their hearts is Fish-Man Island.

Enichi plans to arrange for Jinbei to return to Fishman Island and arrange for Tiger to go to Reed Chiled Island to establish a naval branch. Ridchiled Island had just been baptized by pirates, and the navy rescued them from such a disaster. These people had a natural gratitude to the navy.

Although Tiger is a fish-man, he has an upright and gentle personality. The people of Ridchiled Island will definitely accept Tiger quickly after the disaster.

It is said that fishmen are cruel, and humans have a natural bias towards fishmen, but no matter how cruel they are, can they be more cruel than the Beast Pirates? What's more, this fishman is also a gentle marine.

And Cyrus

He is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Although he has become very close to Princess Scarlet of Dressrosa in recent years, he will never abandon military service for the sake of his children's personal relationship.

Enichi planned to let Cyrus sit in the Dressrosa naval branch, while he himself went to Mystria Island to establish a new naval branch.

This can not only take care of Cyrus's personal emotions, but also maintain control over Dressrosa to the greatest extent. Cyrus is a local. If one day, he and Princess Scarlet really get together, it will not be a bad thing for the navy or Dressrosa.

And Enichi chose to take action personally, in addition to considering Cyrus, the main reason was to strengthen control over the entrance to the New World. On Mystria Island, Enichi Jiguo could respond quickly and support Ridchiled Island at any time. and Dressrosa.

Although getting to Fishman Island is a little troublesome, it's not a problem.

In the Sword of Dawn conference room, Ji Guoyuan tapped the chart on the blackboard and told everyone in the conference room his plan.

In his subordinate position, Cyrus, Mihawk, Tiger, Jinbei, Koushiro and others all listened carefully to Enichi Tsukuni's plan.

Yixiao and Kizaru left the branch one after another, which indeed damaged the strength of the Sword of Dawn, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Those in power must focus on the overall situation.

There is no point in always thinking about your own little calculations.

After hearing Jiguo Enichi's arrangement, Cyrus looked solemn, immediately stood up from his seat, and said loudly: "General, aren't you sitting in Dressrosa?"

"Mistria Island, let me establish a branch!"

"Dressrosa cannot leave you."

Upon learning of Jiguo Yuanyi's arrangement, Cyrus was the first to express his objections. The reason is also very simple. He does not have the confidence to protect Dressrosa after Ji Guoyuan leaves.

He is the "old man" who has been following Ji Guoyuan for a long time. Cyrus is very clear about how many mines are buried in Dressrosa.

The posthumous son of Pirate King Roger, a survivor of Ohara, and a remnant of the Lunaria tribe.

If the identity of any of these people is exposed, people from the World Government will be attracted.

At the same time, Jhin is also Kaido's deputy. Until now, the Navy has not controlled Kaido's life and death. If Kaido is still alive, he will definitely come to save Jhin. Cyrus feels that he can stop such a terrifying guy.

In Cyrus's view, Dressrosa is like a volcano that may erupt at any time. The only person who can contain this volcano is Ji Guoyi. Dressrosa can be without anyone but the only one. We can’t miss the opportunity to inherit the country!

After hearing what Cyrus said, Ji Guoyuan in front of the whiteboard smiled, walked to Cyrus, patted Cyrus on the shoulder, and said:

"Cyrus, I know what you are worried about."

"But don't worry, I will quickly establish an intelligence network and will not let Dressrosa fall into that situation."

"I will take Jhin away. His identity has been leaked, and Kaido's life and death are unknown. I have a hunch that he should still be alive."

"I will never underestimate the ability of phantom beasts to awaken."

"As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. Just keep it as it is now. No special care is needed. Just let the children develop and grow according to their own will."

As he said that, Jiguo Yuanyi seemed to have thought of something and said to Cyrus:

"Cyrus, do you want to eat a devil fruit?"

"We now have two natural Devil Fruits in hand. If you need them, you can choose any one to eat."

"Don't you have confidence in yourself? With the natural system, you should have confidence, right?"

Yuan Yi smiled and said that he didn't care much about things like Devil Fruit at all. If his subordinates wanted it, as long as their merits matched it, they would give it to them.

Cyrus was obviously qualified to eat.

"Is it a natural devil fruit?"

"Forget it, let's leave them to those who need them more."

Cyrus shook his head and refused. After spending so many years with Enichi Tsukuni, he didn't have that kind of yearning for Devil Fruit abilities.

Natural system?

It's not like there were no natural-type people who died under Jiguoyuan's sword. Even the espers of the fantasy beast species were not defeated by Jiguoyuan.

Moreover, Cyrus fought side by side with Mihawk on Ridchiled Island, so he knew the limitations of ability users all too well. Cyrus did not want to become a landlubber.

When Ji Guoyuan saw Cyrus's refusal, he nodded and said nothing more.

Then the plan to divide the troops was finalized.

"In this case, then the matter is decided like this."

"Cyrus, in order to better fight the pirates, I have requested some support from Marshal Sengoku."

"Presumably, it will be delivered soon."

"You have to make good use of it!"

"Meanwhile, Cyrus, Tiger, and Jinbe, in view of your achievements on Ridchiled Island."

"I have decided to promote you."

"Cyrus, from today on, you are the base commander of the Naval Branch of Dressrosa, with the title of Lieutenant General."

"Tiger, you are the base commander of the Reed Chiled Island Naval Branch and have been awarded the rank of colonel."

"Jinbei, you will sit on Fish-Man Island and be awarded the rank of Major."

"I hope everyone will continue to contribute to the Navy in the future!"

With that said, Tsukuni Enichi turned his attention to Shigetsuki Koushiro and said, "Koshiro, you have done a very good job at the naval academy during this period."

"It has really trained many outstanding recruits for our navy."

"From today on, the Naval Academy is in your hands."

"Koshiro Shigetsuki, you are the chief training instructor of the Sword of the Dawn naval branch. You are responsible for the training of new recruits. You are also the principal of the branch naval school, and you are awarded the rank of major general."

After becoming a general, Jigoku Enichi's freedom increased unprecedentedly.

For matters like conferring a title, he would only need to report to the headquarters at that time. The Warring States Period would not constrain Jiguo Enichi at all in this regard.

Moreover, these people have merit as endorsement, and no one can say anything.

After a simple internal awarding ceremony, Ji Guoyuan personally selected two hundred naval recruits and took them aboard the Dawn warship after two days of inspection.

Then, amid the shouts of the people of Dressrosa, the warship sailed away from Dressrosa.

Before leaving, Jiguo Enichi left two natural Devil Fruits to Cyrus and told him that if he encounters force majeure, he must not force himself and make good use of these two Devil Fruits.

Mihawk also left on the Dawn warship with Enichi Jiguo. He had no interest in staying in Dressrosa. For Jean, where there are opponents, there is a destination.

Leaving the Dressrosa dock at the same time as the Dawn warship, there were also naval fleets led by Tiger and Jinbe.

Compared with Ji Guoyuan who brought only two hundred people, Tiger brought four warships and nearly a thousand people.

As for Jinbei, he only took 20 people to sail the boat.

After the meeting, Tsukuni Enichi found Jinbei privately and told him his thoughts.

After Jinbei followed Kunichi Enichi's advice, he planned to go to Fishman Island and recruit local fishmen and mermaids as the navy.

1503.

Across the year 1502, on the first day of the new year, the navy of the first class spent time on the sea.

This night, Ji Guoyuan did not let the navy continue sailing under the cover of darkness. Instead, he asked the crew to lower the anchor and enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of the festival.

The march's ban on alcohol was briefly touched on this day.

In the messy cell on the warship, after Ji Guoyuan deliberately asked someone to add a few more candles and dismissed the navy guarding the cell, Ji Guoyuan arrived carrying a giant food box and grabbing a giant bottle. In the cell where Jhin is being held.

"Crash, lala, lala -"

The sound of chains shaking sounded. Jhin heard the sound of the door opening. He raised his head and looked at the person. When he saw Jiguo Yuanyi, Jhin's eyes could not help but burst out with fire.

Jhin did not hide his hatred for the enemy in front of him who "killed" Brother Kaido.

However, Jhin's eyes of hatred turned into astonishment as soon as Ji Guoyuan put down the food box and wine.

"Your and my position means that we cannot be friends."

"It's normal to be hostile to each other."

"Because of you, many of my subordinates died!"

"The reason why you are still alive now is just because there are some things I want to know from you."

"But judging from your appearance, it's impossible to cooperate with me properly."

"Today is the first day, so I'll improve your food a little bit."

"Jhin, if you figure it out one day, you can call me at any time. I really want to know about your Lunaria clan."

After saying that, Ji Guoyuan turned around and walked outside.

The chain that bound Jhin was the Hailou Stone. Apart from this cell, Ji Guoyuanyi did not give Jhin any more restraints.

With him around, Jin couldn't escape even if he broke free from the Sea Tower Stone. Of course, it was impossible for a person with abilities to break free from the Sea Tower Stone handcuffs.

"Hehehehe."

"You want to know about the Lunaria clan?"

"If I tell you the truth about the Lunaria clan, you will die. Do you still want to know?"

Jin lowered his head and looked at the food box and wine in front of him. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the back of Ji Guoyi as he left, and asked with a smile.

"If it is true as you say, I will be dead from the day I bring you back to Dressrosa."

"Jin, your identity has been exposed a long time ago."

"The reason why I am alive today is not because of the pity of some people."

With that said, Ji Guoyuan smiled, closed the cell door, and turned to leave.

Looking at Ji Guoyuan's leaving figure, Jhin's mind couldn't help but recall the scene when he was chatting with Kaido.

"Jhin, I know who Joeyboy is!"

"Joyboy is the one who can beat me in the future!"

The flashback in his mind disappeared, Jhin slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, and gently opened the food box.

There are fish, meat, and some unnamed fruits and vegetables, which is extremely rich.

Jhin grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, then turned his head and looked outside through the small window of the prison. This night, the moon and stars were sparse.

After staring at it for a long time, Jin murmured:

"Is it true?"

"That wouldn't be bad if you really were Joey Boy."
