Chapter 296 No one knows better than him! (2-in-1)

"General, I have done what you asked me to do."

"But I still feel a little strange. Can that rubber fruit really attract the attention of the world government?"

"And if such news really attracts people from the World Government to the East China Sea"

“Will it undermine the long-standing peace and stability in the East China Sea?”

The bright sunshine poured on the sea, and a small merchant ship floated slowly on the sea, blown by the warm wind.

Ji Guoyuan sat cross-legged on a futon at the bow of the boat with his bare feet, holding the fishing rod in both hands and looking straight at the sea.

Tianzheng just walked out of the cabin, walked to Jiguo Yuanyi's side, and asked aloud.

The news that Ji Guoyuan was seeking rubber fruits in the East China Sea was spread by Tianzheng in the headquarters.

He is the section chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Navy Headquarters. There is probably no one in the entire Navy who knows how to "crime" better than Tian Zheng. It is extremely easy for Tianzheng to spread a piece of gossip without concealing it from the senior officials of the headquarters.

Although he did this according to Jiguo Enichi's wishes, Tianzheng still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know what kind of impact this would have on the headquarters. He couldn't sleep well during this period. .

It was not until today that Tianzheng mustered up the courage to ask Ji Guoyuan the doubts buried in his heart.

"confusion?"

"For ordinary people, it won't have a big impact."

"They will never make a big deal about the search for rubber fruits. That would make it weird, wouldn't it?"

"And if people from the World Government enter the East China Sea, it might be beneficial to the security environment of the East China Sea."

"It can be expected that in the future, pirates active in the East China Sea will be hit hard."

When Ji Guoyuan heard Tianzheng's words behind him, he smiled and said.

Suddenly, the tip of the fishing rod in Yuanyi's hand was heavy, and the swim bladder floating on the sea sank into the sea.

"In stock!"

Yuan Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly used force on his hands to grab the fishing rod. The next second, the fishing line was broken directly, and Ji Guoyuan raised his arm.

Fishhook -1.

"."

Ji Guoyuan quickly retracted his pole and grabbed the empty fishing line with one hand, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Sea fishing is a small hobby he has only recently acquired. He has never tried this kind of thing before. Whether in the world of demon slayers or the world of pirates, Enichi Tsukuni puts most of his energy into training.

Obtaining daily necessities only takes up a very small part of his life.

If you really want to eat fish or meat, you can get a big harvest in just a few minutes by diving into the sea with a knife.

Changes in living habits and interests also mean that Jiguo Yuanyi's personality has quietly changed slightly.

His nerves had always been too tense. During the time he was out at sea, the smile on Ji Guoyuan's face was much brighter than before.

Such a change also comes from the realization of Jiguoyuan.

After witnessing with his own eyes the tragedies caused by the conflict between people in this world, Ji Guoyuan no longer wanted to rely on the power of his generation to change the world.

The Celestial Dragons are the ultimate manifestation of desire. Under the Celestial Dragons, there are many people who cause tragedies.

It is impossible for human desires to disappear, and as long as desires exist, struggle will not disappear.

What people can do is to find ways to use external forces to restrict human desires.

To do this, absolute power is needed!

Tianzheng stood behind Jiguo Yuanyi, watching Jiguoyuanyi put the swim bladder on the fishing line again with a smile on his face, tied the hook and bait, set the hook again and started fishing, with a look of helplessness on his face. .

"General, are you too busy during this time?"

"We have been out at sea for quite some time, is it time to go back?"

Tianzheng follows Jiguo Yuanyi and can clearly feel the changes in Jiguo Yuanyi. Compared to the previous wariness and awe of Jiguo Yuanyi, Tianzheng now feels more helpless and disappointed with Jiguo Yuanyi.

Although Enichi Jikuni, who is active in doing things, is feared by the world government, Tianzheng admires Enichi Jikuni in his heart.

The current Jiguo Yuanyi is more peaceful, but this is not what Tianzheng wants to see. He hopes that Jiguo Yuanyi can be active, enthusiastic and have clear goals.

Instead of fishing and leisurely doing nothing like now.

"Hey, hey, Tianzheng, I'm not happy to hear what you're saying!"

"What does it mean to be too idle?"

"I have been in the navy for so many years, but I have always been very nervous."

"After so many years of fighting and killing, I still can't enjoy myself and take a vacation?"

"Besides, if I get busy, won't you be more unable to sleep?"

Ji Guoyuan joked with a smile, turned his head slightly and raised his eyes to look at Tianzheng. When Tianzheng heard this, he spread his hands and wisely chose to shut up.

"The trip ends quickly because we are about to reach our destination."

Ji Guoyuan looked at the sea and said softly.

"Du-du-du--"

The sharp siren suddenly spread throughout the G-8 Naval Branch Fortress.

"Commodore Jonathan, a merchant ship of unknown origin was discovered at sea and is rapidly approaching our base!"

In the G-8 Naval Branch Base, the door to Jonathan's office was suddenly pushed open. A young lieutenant walked in quickly and loudly reported to Jonathan who was sitting on the sofa at this time.

At this time, there was a chess board on the coffee table in front of Brigadier General Jonathan. Jonathan was studying the chess score on the board with a frown.

After hearing the report, Jonathan casually held the black chess king in his hands and let out a sigh: "He is no match for Mr. Luoka!"

While speaking, Jonathan slowly raised his head, looked at the young lieutenant, and asked, "Just drive away the merchant ships of unknown origin."

"Are you still reporting something like this to me? Second Lieutenant Drake."

Drake is not the future Red Flag .

"Sorry, Brigadier General Jonathan."

"We have been expelled, but the other party has no intention of leaving."

"We have now arrived at the entrance and are blocked by the fortress' sea iron gate."

After hearing Drake's report, Jonathan's face showed some surprise, he touched his chin and asked:

"What is the identity of the other party?"

"Is he a businessman who suffered a shipwreck? Need help from our navy?"

"Did the other party identify themselves?"

Just as Jonathan was asking Derek, there was another rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the office.

Soon, a beautiful and tall blond girl appeared at the door of the office. The girl's long blond hair was tied up in a simple bun on the back of her head, and she wore a chef's hat on her head. On his body, he wears a chef's outfit that is completely different from that of ordinary navy soldiers.

The whole person looks beautiful and capable.

"Brigadier General Jonathan, you had some carrots left at noon today!"

"Carrots are one of the best vegetables. A leader who is picky about food cannot be a role model for the navy!"

A blond girl dressed as a chef faced the base director of the G-8 branch, Jonathan, looking menacing. But when Jonathan heard this, not only was he not angry, but his face showed a bit of panic and helplessness.

"Jessica"

"It's working time now, can you wait a while to talk about something?"

"I promise, this won't happen next time."

The reason why Jonathan showed such a gesture towards this blond girl dressed as a chef is also very simple, because Jessica is his new wife.

Jonathan is a man who fears and loves his wife. He can be said to be completely obedient to Jessica in certain matters.

"operating hours?"

"Then I'm really sorry! Brigadier General Jonathan!"

When Jessica heard Jonathan's weak words, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, and then she walked directly into the office, came to Jonathan's side, and put a hand on Jonathan's shoulder. Looking at Drake, he had no intention of avoiding suspicion.

Drake was obviously not surprised by such things, and continued to report:

"The other party did not identify themselves."

"It must be because there is no amplification equipment on the other party's ship."

"I have sent out a pick-up boat to contact them."

"The reason I am reporting to you is because the lookout found a familiar figure on the other side's ship, who is suspected to be the admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Enichi Tsukuni!"

Hearing this, both Jonathan and Jessica next to him showed surprise on their faces. Jonathan quickly suppressed the shock on his face and asked in a solemn voice:

"Like General Jiguoyuan?"

"you sure?"

Although Jonathan is the base commander of the G-8 branch, he is far away from the center of power of the headquarters. But Jonathan graduated from the naval academy of the headquarters, and he and the current general Sakaski are still very close friends. Jonathan is very familiar with some information about the headquarters.

There is probably no one in this world who doesn't recognize Jiguo Yuanyi's name. As a Marine, Jonathan had heard many friends, teachers, and colleagues mention this young general.

The sudden arrival of the other party gave Jonathan an unusual feeling.

"Wow——"

The iron fence blocking the G-8 Naval Fortress slowly rose, and a navy tugboat slowly sailed into the inner harbor. Behind the tugboat, there was also a small merchant ship.

Jonathan was wearing a military uniform and stood on the shore quietly watching the small merchant ship sailing into the inner harbor. On the side of the merchant ship, Mihawk, who was carrying a black knife, was examining the surrounding environment.

Seeing Mihawk, Jonathan's pupils shrank.

The merchant ship slowly stopped at the door of No. 1 Dockyard in the inner harbor. As a long ladder was lowered, Ji Kunoyuan and a group of crew members stepped off the ship.

When Jonathan saw the leader, Enichi Jiguo, he immediately went up to him, bowed respectfully to Enichi Jiguo, and then introduced himself:

"Welcome General Ji Guoyuan to the G-8 Naval Branch!"

"I am the base commander of G-8 Naval Fortress, Commodore Jonathan."

Yuanyi looked at Jonathan, who was lean and had a square face, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He walked up to Jonathan with a smile, grabbed the other person's saluting hand with one hand and put it down, and then said with a smile:

"Coming here is going too far."

"I was just passing by on my way to vacation."

"My ship suffered some damage, and there was a shortage of supplies on the ship, so I came to this naval fortress."

"I hope Commodore Jonathan can help me and ask someone to help me repair the ship and replenish supplies."

"Of course, I won't make it difficult for you. I will reimburse you for the expenses incurred. I will also submit a report to the headquarters."

Hearing Jiguo Enichi's words, there was a hint of surprise on Jonathan's face.

The general in front of him was completely different from the one in the rumors. He had no aggressive sense of power at all. Before that, Jonathan thought that Enichi Jiguo was the same person as his friend Sakaski.

"General, you're welcome."

"Our fortress will sometimes assist passing ships when they encounter the sea. As you mentioned, even if you don't give money, our branch will help."

Seeing that Ji Guoyuan was easy to talk to, Jonathan's face suddenly burst into smiles.

"Yeah?"

"That's good."

"This is a problem for you, Brigadier General Jonathan."

"By the way, speaking of which, I have one more thing that I want to ask you for help with."

"I hope to establish an office of the Sword of the Dawn naval branch next to G-8 Naval Fortress. I wonder if Commodore Jonathan can help me with this!"

G-8 Branch Fortress.

The fortress, known as the "Iron Wall" in later generations, was located in the middle section of the first half of the Grand Route. Here, the entire first half of the Great Route can be radiated to the greatest extent. If the location of Malinjoa is the center of the world, then the location of this iron wall fortress is the center of the first half of the Grand Route.

The purpose of Ji Guoyuanyi's hope to establish a branch here is also very simple, that is, to strengthen control over the first half of the great route.

With the help of Bear's ability, his Dawn Sword Navy can use this place as an anchor point to quickly add troops to the first half of the Grand Line.

With Ji Guoyuan wandering around the world with Xiong Man, is it really because he has nothing to do?

no.

The purpose of joining the country is to take the bear with him personally, so that the bear can mark more places, and in the future he can use his ability to teleport people to all over the world.

Xiong's identity and ability are special. If Xiong is allowed to travel alone, Jiguo Enichi can't rest assured. His ability is very important to Jiguo Yuanichi. This is the ability that can change the entire world in the future.

"The office of Sword of the Dawn?!"

The picture is poor and the dagger appears.

What Ji Guoyuanyi said before was probably irrelevant, but what he is talking about now is the purpose of coming to the G-8 branch!

Just as Tsukuni Enichi's fleet arrived at the G-8 Naval Fortress of the Grand Line, Red-haired Shanks' pirate ship also arrived at the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea.

After Kunoyunichi released the news about the "rubber fruit", Shanks and the crew began to spare no effort to search for it.

Shanks had already been to the Kingdom of Moore and knew that the Devil Fruit was snatched away by pirates in the East China Sea, so he spent this time frantically attacking the pirates in order to get the rubber fruit.

It's just that after all this time, there is nothing gained.

When Shanks was investigating the whereabouts and whereabouts of the rubber fruit, he accidentally learned that Garp's hometown was the Kingdom of Goa. And I also unexpectedly learned that Garp had brought a child to the Kingdom of Goa a few years ago. That child was named Ace!

the name

It really made Shanks' imagination run wild. After searching for the rubber fruit to no avail, Shanks also thought of the information he got by chance and planned to go to the Kingdom of Goa to see the child named Ace with his own eyes.
