Chapter 259 The Tianlong people’s escort mission! (2-in-1)

Although Mihawk's voice was not gentle at all, Irene looked happy when she heard Mihawk's words. She immediately put her hands on her hips, straightened her lower body, and replied happily:

"Irene, my name is Irene!"

Looking at the messy-haired child in front of him who looked like a savage, Mihawk suddenly thought of something and said, "You answer one more question for me, and these will be given to you."

"Did you see a red-haired marine when you were on the island?"

"There is a flame-shaped mark on the forehead."

With that said, Mihawk stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, indicating.

"Um!"

"I've seen it before. That big brother is really awesome!"

As Erin answered, she couldn't help but recall the warm feeling when she was wrapped in that navy suit, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Irene's expression, Mihawk nodded slightly, picked up the tray and stood up, walked towards Irene, then bent down and handed the tray to Irene.

After the other party took the tray, Mihawk also took the wine in the tray. When Erin saw this, she looked startled. She looked at the wine that Mihawk took away, sniffed, and couldn't help but ask: "Um, can you change this for me too?"

Erin asked greedily as she stared at the red wine in Mihawk's hand.

"This is not something a kid your age should drink."

Mihawk chuckled, took the wine glass, and turned back to the cabin. Seeing Mihawk leave, Irene was not shy and immediately grabbed the piece of meat with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth.

The wonderful fragrance filled the mouth. It was the first time for Irene to eat meat with this kind of flavor in her whole life. A happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, and her chewing movements could not help but slow down a lot.

The sun was rising slowly from the coastline. Irene raised her head, eating meat, squinting her eyes slightly and looking at the sparkling sea. A sense of peace that she had never felt before enveloped Irene's heart.

"There must be more delicious food in the outside world."

With this thought in her mind, Erin followed Mihawk's example before, picked up a fork, inserted the meat into her mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, an additional figure appeared on the observation deck of the warship.

Mihawk leaned on the railing, glanced at Erin who was "eating slowly" on the deck, and then turned his head to look at the sea. In addition to the half glass of red wine, there was another plate in his hand. BBQ.

Ji Guoyuan led the navy to spend almost two days and finally passed through layers of dense forests and returned to the coast.

The speed of returning was much faster than the speed of going into the forest to investigate. After all, they had to collect along the way when entering the forest. And when you come back, you just need to concentrate on your journey.

Just after returning to the deck of the warship, Ji Guoyuan saw at a glance that there were two figures, one large and one small, fighting in the center of the deck.

As the thin figure kept rushing forward, the sound of "ta-da" tapping could be heard in the distance as the bamboo knives crossed each other.

"Eh? Isn't that child the one who attacked us on the island? His name is Irene!"

Felander, who was standing next to Ji Guoyuan, recognized at a glance that the boy who was fighting Mihawk at this time was the savage he met on the island.

Unexpectedly, the other party would appear on the warship, and he immediately let out a strange exclamation.

At this time, Alin no longer looked like the "walking bird in the sun" before. He was wearing a pair of loose and unusually large pants on his lower body, and a large white short-sleeved shirt with a blue seagull pattern printed on his upper body.

Her long hair was also tied into a ponytail, hanging down her back.

Erin, at this time, was also holding a bamboo knife and was attacking Mihawk crazily.

Hearing Ferrander's call, the marines who boarded the ship one after another also looked at Mihawk and Irene curiously. They were also curious about why Irene appeared on the ship, and it seemed that this child got along well with the "difficult" Mr. Mihawk.

Yuan Yi watched for a while, then turned around and saw that all the navy were stunned. He waved his hands and said:

"What are you doing standing around? Do whatever you need to do."

"Go back and take a shower, and disinfect and clean all the clothes you changed out of."

"Have a rest today and set sail back to Mystria Island tomorrow."

"Don't be stunned, hurry up."

In the greeting of Enichi Jiguo, the sailors dispersed and entered the cabin. Tsukikuni Enichi also returned to his room, took a shower and changed his clothes before returning to the deck.

At this time, many marines had gathered on the deck. These guys surrounded Mihawk and Irene, who were still fighting, and "pointed" from time to time.

"Hey! Eileen, the force of the sword is too great! You have to save some strength!"

"Attack him on the left, eh! Go on the left!"

Several young marines linked their arms with each other. Seeing that Irene's attack was easily resolved by Mihawk, they suddenly transformed into swordsmanship experts and started giving instructions loudly.

Not to mention, Erin, who was sparring with Mihawk, really listened to the advice. Originally, she tried her best every time she took a shot, but after receiving the "pointers", she knew how to control her strength, and her attacks suddenly became more powerful. One feels at ease.

Mihawk noticed Irene's change, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

At first, Mihawk was just bored.

Ji Guoyuan took everyone on the boat away. He had nothing to do on the boat alone. Later, Irene got on the boat and pestered Mihawk to ask him to help him make food, but Mihawk was not a cook. , it’s okay to make a portion when you eat it yourself, but spend time to make it for Eileen? Are you kidding me?

However, this kid Irene was also difficult to deal with. Seeing that Mihawk refused, she kept following him, which made Mihawk a little annoyed, so she gave the other party "100 million points" request.

As long as he could touch himself with the sword, he would fry meat for Irene in addition to his usual meals.

After hearing this request, Eileen agreed directly without thinking.

However, for several days, he was unable to eat any extra food besides the main meal.

As soon as Ji Guoyuan looked at the sparring on the deck, he silently walked to the side of the ship and looked at the two people fighting in the field.

Irene is very young. Judging from his movements, there are obviously no traces of swordsmanship training. This can be explained by his posture, the smoothness of his attacks, and the weaknesses in his body when Irene attacks.

However, Irene's reaction speed was very fast. Although the attack was unstructured, she was able to make some reactions when Mihawk raised his knife to counterattack. Although it was Mihawk who deliberately let off steam to give Erin time to react, this was already a pretty good response for a teenager.

Very talented, this child right now is very talented in practicing swordsmanship!

The surrounding marines all cheered and shouted for Irene in a familiar manner. Mihawk mostly used his sword to defend. After blocking more than ten or twenty swords, he would symbolically fight back, and his strength was also controlled. Very good, just enough to repel Erin.

For Mihawk, it would be better to say that he was just using Irene to pass the boring time by letting him practice with him.

"Bang!"

After watching for a long time, after Mihawk's counterattack, Irene lay on the deck panting, finally having no strength to stand up and fight again.

Erin has been able to live on such an island for so many years, mostly relying on his Devil Fruit ability. He can communicate with giant creatures, and can even parasitize those creatures and control their actions.

Relying on those giant beasts, he was able to survive on this island.

But if his own strength is measured by Dao power value, it is only about a hundred, which is far superior to ordinary humans, but to say how powerful it is, it is not enough.

"I can't, I don't have the strength anymore."

"Mr. Mihawk, let's eat first."

After getting along with Mihawk for a short time, he already knew Mihawk's name. At this time, Irene was lying on the deck, sticking out her tongue, shouting at Mihawk, without any concern for other marines.

After glancing at Erin, Mihawk shook his head and said, "It's not time to eat yet."

Then he put away his bamboo knife and walked towards Yuanyi.

Seeing Mihawk approaching, Jiguo Enichi smiled and raised his chin towards Irene and asked: "Mihawk, what's going on with this kid?"

Mihawk sat down next to Jiguo Yuanyi. After hearing this, he casually replied: "Just a kid who eats and drinks."

"It's quite interesting though."

Mihawk was smiling when he spoke. Seeing his appearance, Ji Guoyuan smiled and shouted to Irene on the ground:

"Eileen, we are leaving this island tomorrow."

"Are you going to sail with us?"

After hearing Enichi Tsukuni's words, Irene jumped up from the deck and asked hurriedly: "If I go to sea with you, can I eat barbecue every day?"

Hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi tilted his head in confusion, glanced sideways at Mihawk, and replied: "What we eat every day is decided by the navy's cooking class."

"But this guy has always been running his own small stove. If you have a good relationship with him, you should be able to eat barbecue every day."

Ji Guoyuan pointed at Mihawk beside him. Although he didn't know what kind of relationship Mihawk and Irene had established, he could see that Irene and Mihawk got along well. not bad.

"ohh~"

"I'll go to sea with you!"

Erin shouted excitedly, and the fatigue from the previous battle was wiped away at this moment. Seeing Irene's excited look, a smile appeared on Jiguo Yuanyi's face.

Although I don't know why this child changed so suddenly, it is always developing in a good direction.

"Eileen, you should become a trainee navy first."

"Welcome to join our navy!"

Early next morning.

Under the watchful eyes of several giant beasts on the shore, the Dawn warship slowly sailed away from the island.

After Kuniyuan named this uninhabited island Holy Spirit Island, the navy's navigators have completed the production of the island's permanent recording pointer. At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, the navigators also used Dressrosa's A permanent record pointer marks the island's location on the chart.

In the new world, the compass is indeed of little use, but as long as the location of an island is clearly known, the permanent record pointer of that island can actually be used as a compass.

But this is just a rough direction. If there is no permanent record pointer, if you want to land on this Holy Spirit Island again, you will need accurate charts of the surrounding waters and rich navigation experience of navigators.

The warship sailed at sea for another ten days. By the time Jikunoyunichi led the troops back to Mystria Island, the construction of the naval branch here had already begun.

The number of craftsmen recruited by the navy is not large, but there are also many people who are willing to work. In the early stages of construction, it was a lot of simple physical work, so in the early stages, the speed was still good.

There is no cement or lime available on Mystria Island, so the navy also adapted to local conditions and used pure wooden structures to build branches.

The most important thing at this stage is to set up the branch structure first, and the details will be slowly advanced later.

After the major in charge of branch construction briefly reported the progress to Enichi, he took out a package and delivered it to Jiguo Enichi.

"General, this was sent by someone from the headquarters, saying it is what you want, General."

"I haven't taken it apart and looked at it. I plan to hand it over to you directly when you come back."

After receiving the package from his subordinates, Enichi Jiguo showed a smile on his face. While unpacking the package, he murmured to himself:

"Has what I wanted finally been delivered?"

"The efficiency of this department is quite good."

As he spoke, the package in his hand had been completely opened.

The thing in the package was a scabbard, all gray and white. Mihawk, who was standing next to Jiguo Yuanyi, looked startled when he saw this thing, and asked in surprise: "This is a knife made of sea floor stone." sheath?"

"Is this what you asked the Navy Headquarters to get for you?"

Just as Mihawk said, what Jiguo Enichi is holding in his hand right now is a scabbard made of sea floor stone!

"ah!"

"Only the navy in the world has mastered the method of processing sea floor stones. Of course I will make good use of it."

"This thing is very helpful to me."

As soon as Ji Guoyuan said this, he took out the long knife from his waist and put it into the sea tower stone scabbard.

"Ta!" The clear sound of closing the sword sounded. Ji Guoyuan stroked the scabbard with satisfaction, and then said to Mihawk:

"I also asked my headquarters to make scabbards for you, Koushiro, and Cyrus."

"It will probably be delivered soon."

"I made a pair of gloves for Tiger and Jinbei."

Mihawk didn't seem to care much about this kind of thing. When Yuanyi said this, he just shook his head and deliberately wanted to refuse: "I don't need this kind of thing."

However, regarding Mihawk's "swordsman's pride", Enichi Tsukuni just smiled and consoled him with a few words:

"There are some things you can use without, but you can't live without them."

"Fighting is a matter of life and death. You are a swordsman, but your enemy may not be a swordsman."

"And as for the scabbard, does it have a knife? You can use it if you want to use it, and don't use it if you don't want to use it?"

Hearing Jiguo Enichi's words, Mihawk could only nod slightly. Weapons are weapons after all, and how to use them still depends on the person.

While Kunienichi led a group of marines to occupy Mystria Island, Jinbei also led dozens of marines back to Fishman Island after coating the Shampoo Islands.

King Neptune and Princess Otohime heard that Jinbei had listened to the order of Admiral Enichi Tsukuni to build a naval branch on Fishman Island, and they immediately gave their support.

King Neptune even transferred some people from the Kingdom Guard to Jinbei, allowing Jinbei to expand the strength of the branch.

With the strong support of King Neptune and Princess Otohime, the construction speed of the Fishman Island Naval Branch was much faster. In just a few weeks, the number of people expanded to 500. The branch base is located In the most prosperous Coral Street on Fishman Island.

This was the result of Jinbei asking Jinbei to raise his recruitment requirements after Kuniyoshi learned the news. Otherwise, the navy branch on Fishman Island would expand faster.

Becoming a navy on Fish-Man Island and being taken away from Fish-Man Island after becoming a navy are completely different things.

The people of Fishman Island don't trust humans, so they won't go to the sea. But they need the rights and reputation that the navy has.

With the name of the Navy, not only is it logical to kill the pirates who enter Fish-Man Island, but you can also claim credit from the headquarters.

Therefore, the Fishman Island Navy Branch attracted many fishmen to participate.

For example, Aaron and his gang from Fishman Street suddenly transformed and became part of the navy. They didn't join the Navy because they had justice in mind. They just wanted to use the Navy's intelligence network and the name of "justice" to openly attack the humans who entered Fish-Man Island.

I am a navy, if I say you are a pirate, you are a pirate!

This is what Aaron thinks deep in his heart.

Although Jinbe doesn't know what Aaron is thinking in his heart, he knows that Aaron's purpose of joining the navy is not simple. Therefore, Jinbe has a strong binding force on Aaron. When he goes on a mission, he will basically take Aaron and his group with him. Easy to control directly.

Since the navy branch of Fish-Man Island was established, the number of pirates who can successfully pass through Fish-Man Island has indeed decreased a lot.

While the navy branch on Fish-Man Island was developing smoothly, a group of navies led by Tiger also established a foothold on Ridchiled Island.

During the steady development of the Sword of Dawn branch, in 1503, it quietly passed away with the passage of time.

January 1504.

"Bulu Bulu~"

In the Naval Headquarters, Marshal Sengoku's office, a phone call broke the noon tranquility.

Warring States, who was reviewing documents at his desk, frowned when he heard the sound, then opened a drawer under his desk, took out a phone bug, and connected the phone.

"Warring States."

"Deploy 20 warships to protect the Tianlong people."

The low words came from the other end of the phone. When Warring States heard the words, his pupils shrank slightly, he turned his head and glanced at the calendar on the desk, and then slowly put down the phone.

Looking at the calendar, Seng Guo's face was gloomy.

"Dragon Man"

"Don't you have a long memory? Are you starting again?"

"Where will it be this time? Is it because the world has become too peaceful?"
