Chapter 499 Give me some face! (Two in one)

The content of the letter that Jiguoyuanyi sent to Shanks through Vergo's hand is actually very simple, or condensed into one sentence - please give me some face!

Enichi hopes that Shanks can help Vergo and others in their investigation, and if necessary, they can make good use of their "pirate" status to do something.

Between what he said and what he said, he didn't treat Shanks as an outsider at all. Shanks could also judge this through the words in Yuanyi's letter.

Jiguo Enichi's values ​​have not been affected by Malinford's extreme atmosphere. He also has his own standards for judging the good and bad of things.

The group of pirates is really too large. To kill all these pirates with one blow, the workload that the navy needs to do is too great.

Enichi simply divided the pirates into four categories.

The first type are pure pirates who are coerced by desire and power; the second type are "passive pirates" who are stigmatized by the world government but do not take any actual actions to harm ordinary people; the third type are "passive pirates" who rely on The name of pirate refers to careerists and adventurers who realize their ideals; the fourth type is ordinary people who are violated, coerced, and forced to go to sea to become pirates.

Different motivations for going to sea lead to huge differences in the behavioral logic of pirates.

In this world, there is the kind of pure black that purely enjoys killing and destroying, there is also the kind of gray that has residual reason, wandering between white and white, and there is also the kind of person who bears the name of a pirate just to achieve personal fulfillment. The pure whiteness of aspirations and dreams.

What is the ultimate goal of Shanks and his group? Tsukuni Enichi doesn't actually know.

The Red-Haired Pirates are not the innocent "pure white" like the Straw Hats, nor are they the ultimate pure black like the Blackbeard Pirates. If I insist on saying so, the Red-Haired Pirates are gray.

In their various behavioral logics, we can see the fierce and unreasonable side of the pirates, but we can also see the warm and friendly side of Shanks and others.

For Enichi Tsukuni and his new navy, if all the pirates in the world were like the Red Haired Pirates, there would be fewer disputes.

Although their relationship with "Justice" is not close at all, the emergence of the red-haired pirates can bring stability to an area.

Yuan Yi knew something about Shanks. Although this guy was free and loose, his values ​​​​were not distorted and he would not rely on his strong power to satisfy his desires infinitely.

When Yuanyi wrote this letter, Zefa and the others had not yet landed on Fish-Man Island. In Yuanyi's opinion at that time, the person who might be able to help Vergo and the others successfully break the situation was the red-haired Shanks.

However, the development of the world is often beyond what humans can predict.

"Captain, what did Jiguoyuan write to you?!"

Shanks finished reading the letter, gathered it up and stuffed it back into the envelope, then casually threw it on the table, seemingly not taking Yuanyi's words to heart.

Seeing this, Jesus glanced at the envelope on the table and asked curiously. When he asked this question, Ben Beckman and Lachie Lu and the rest of the crew also looked at Shanks with excitement.

Following the country's fate.

Today is different from the past. He is now the sea emperor who rules the new world and is regarded by the world government as the greatest threat.

"do what?!"

"Nothing to do."

"Someone is already doing it, we don't need to intervene."

Shanks picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, gently wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile.

All Nations, Cake Island.

The New Navy Headquarters paid close attention to everything that happened on Fish-Man Island. After receiving Vergo's message, Yixiao also found Kong and Yuanyi to talk about the matter.

The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.

Covered in sweat, Yixiao walked to the rest area next to him with his wooden knife. While talking to the people next to him about Fish-Man Island, he wiped his sweat with a towel:

"What is certain now is that Mr. Zefa should have some important information."

"But Jinbei and Vergo know very little information."

"A captain in the branch is missing, and even the second lieutenant Peacock who was monitoring the captain has lost contact."

"The missing captain is called Aaron. When the conflict broke out with the red-haired pirates, he was the leader."

"Could it be that they were secretly attacked and killed by the red-haired pirates? At the same time, they also killed the witness, Lieutenant Peacock?"

Yixiao didn't know much about it, so he could only rely on inferences and guesses about various events on Fish-Man Island. From his perspective, Fish-Man Island is full of fog, and many events have few clues.

"Aaron."

"Killed by the red-haired pirates?"

"Haha, no way."

Next to Yixiao, Ji Guoyuan shook his head gently and rejected Yixiao's conjecture with a smile. Different from Yixia who was covered in sweat, there was no sign of sweating on Jiguo Yuanyi's body. The previous sparring between the two did not seem to consume much physical energy from Yuanyi.

While speaking, Yuanyi gently leaned the wooden knife on his shoulder and looked at the blue sea in the distance.

He and Yixiao knew basically the same information, but compared to Yixiao, Yuanyi knew more about the red-haired pirates.

"If it was the red-haired pirates who killed him, his body would have been found long ago."

"They will not be secretive about their actions. They will not do things like murder and cover up corpses."

As he spoke, memories that had been sealed for who knows how many years suddenly emerged from the depths of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's brain.

Along

The name is like a key to open a memory box.

"Captain Aaron."

"That Captain Aaron, was he from Fishman Street before?"

"Um, a shark fishman, right?"

Yunichi's eyes showed some reminiscence, and he murmured.

"Hmm?"

"As expected of you, you even have an impression of a captain in a branch?"

"You really know everything about your subordinates!"

Suddenly hearing the accurate information about Captain Aaron from Yoshiichi's mouth, even if he smiled, he couldn't help but look stunned. In the communication with Yoshiichi just now, although he said that Aaron was a captain, he didn't reveal the information that Aaron was from Fishman Street and was a shark fishman.

These things are also the information he learned from the files when he deeply understood the whole story of the Fishman Island incident.

Unexpectedly, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who has been in a high position for many years, can actually tell the accurate information of the other party casually.

"Not really, this person is just a little special."

When Tsugakuin Yoshiichi confirmed the identity of "Captain Along" from Yixiao's mouth, the Fishman Island incident gradually became clear from Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's perspective.

Can a dog change its habit of eating shit?

If it is trained artificially from childhood, it is possible.

So can Along become a good person?

I'm afraid it's not as easy as imagined.

Yunyi doesn't have stereotypes about people, but he can see things like human nature clearly.

It's not so easy to change a person.

He has never been able to change his brother in his previous life. Now that he has come to this world, how can he believe that his new navy can easily change people like Along?

"Fishman Street"

"King Neptune's internal affairs management is really lax."

"After so many years, he still allows places like Fishman Street to exist."

"Extreme poverty is sometimes more terrible than pirates."

Although Fishman Island is prosperous, the gap between the rich and the poor is still relatively large. Fishman Street is synonymous with poverty.

Although this place has produced a group of young people with ideals, more people have embarked on other paths due to poverty and lack of education.

King Neptune is already a wise man, but his administrative level is really worrying.

Or in other words, the administrative level of most countries in the world is worrying.

This is a blind spot that the deep-rooted royal thinking cannot touch.

Princess Otohime has the great and glorious ideal of "harmonious coexistence of humans and fishmen", but she also ignores the fishmen in Fishman Street who are still struggling for survival in the country.

Isn't it ironic that Princess Otohime died in the assassination of the fishmen in Fishman Street?

"Yuichi, what do you think about the things on Fishman Island?"

"Our new navy has gradually gained a foothold in the New World. Next, we should be preparing to expand our influence to the first half of the Grand Line, right?"

"You are so concerned about the situation on Fishman Island. Do you have any plans?"

Jinbei felt a hint of different emotions from Yuichi's expression and tone, and asked.

"Communication is essential for the power of change to be transmitted."

"Our new navy has never intervened in the governance of Fishman Island. This situation needs to be changed."

"Otherwise, our influence will not go beyond the New World."

"King Neptune has no way to prove his administrative ability. In my opinion, he is not suitable to continue to be the king of Fishman Island."

Yuichi's eyes were deep, and he said such words out of the blue. His words also made Yixiao, who had always been closely standing with Yuichi, change his face suddenly.

"Fish-Man Island is a member of the World Government, and King Neptune's family has led Fish-Man Island for a thousand years!"

"And Fish-Man Island has always been well governed. Although there are some minor flaws, it is undeniable that King Neptune is a wise monarch, isn't he?!"

The signs revealed by Tsukuni Yoriichi's words just now are not right, and Yixiao has already vaguely noticed it.

Since the establishment of their new navy, although they have overthrown the royal rule of a certain country, the monarchs and royal families they overthrew are all tyrants with numerous atrocities. Their actions are inherently covered by a sense of justice.

But from Tsukuni Yoriichi's tone, it seems that he is planning to overthrow the royal family of Fish-Man Island? !

Overthrow the wise King Neptune and the kind Princess Otohime?

This is beyond Yixiao's imagination, and he can't keep up with Tsukuni Yoriichi's pace for a while.

The gap between people's thoughts is often reflected at this time.

Although Yixiao is well-informed, his thoughts are shaped by this world. He now holds a high position in the new navy and has unparalleled power, but in his mind, it is still natural for the royal family to rule the people.

Just as Alabasta needs a Princess Vivi who can't protect their safety; Fishman Island needs a daughter Neptune; Wano Country needs a general Momonosuke who has been wandering outside for decades and then crying to find his country.

Nika, who can beat the drum of liberation, actually liberated nothing.

"Yixiao, why are you so surprised?"

"If you don't do well, shouldn't you change?"

"After running Fishman Island for so many years, if he can't even take care of the slums like Fishman Street, why can't such a king be replaced?!"

"Even in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms still under the rule of Big Mom, you probably can't find slums, right?"

"Neptune... he doesn't even do as well as Big Mom Isn't it MOM?"

"Don't ignore their mediocre nature because of their kindness."

"When running a country, mediocre monarchs are not allowed to appear."

Facing Yixiao, Jigoku Yoshiichi did not hide his true heart. He withdrew his eyes from the distant sea, glanced at Yixiao and continued:

"Yixiao, a country needs a leader."

"But does the leader have to be a certain tribe?"

"Whoever does well will be promoted. Isn't this reasonable?"

"But the people of Fishman Island should also have the power to choose who will lead them forward, right? !"

"I have contacted Vegapunk. He is very interested in Fishman Island and promised me to develop Fishman Island well."

"In recent years, he has entrusted our new navy to collect history everywhere. His little tricks seem to have been noticed by the World Government."

"He feels very insecure now. Although I can bring him directly to Wanguo, his scientific research needs a place and a wide sea area for experiments."

"The industry here in Wanguo has basically taken shape. If a large area is transformed, the previous efforts will be in vain."

"Instead of this, it is better to redevelop a piece of 'white land'."

"Fish-man Island is deep under the sea, and the power of the World Government is difficult to affect Fish-man Island."

"Put him on Fish-man Island, he will have a way to protect himself."

"Moreover, with his ability, he should be able to make the lives of the people of Fish-man Island a new look."

"It will only take a few years for Fish-man Island to become the most developed country in the world!"

Tsugokuni Yuichi said, put away the wooden sword in his hand, and walked towards the office building in the distance. Yixiao looked at Tsugokuni Yuichi's slowly leaving back, and said nothing for a long time.

Yuichi's words kept echoing in his mind, and he tried his best to digest the information that Yuichi said.

It is impossible for his thoughts to change in a short time.

But Yixiao is a person who is good at thinking. If he can't figure out why, then just look at the possible results.

Fishman Island, under the rule of Neptune and his wife, may not see any big changes in 30 years. Will the people be more prosperous? Not necessarily.

If it can be rich, it would have been rich long ago.

What if, as Yunyi said, Fishman Island was handed over to Vegapunk?

Yixiao has been to Egrehead, where there is already a prototype of a future city. On that island, Yixiao saw many cutting-edge technologies that he had never seen before.

As long as the raw materials are put in, it can automatically make clothes, machines that make food, and various robots.

It is conceivable that when those things are integrated into human life, what changes will it bring to people.

They have introduced some equipment and instruments to process food, clothes, and shoes. Now their new navy uniforms are all made by machines, and the materials are also special materials newly developed by Vegapunk, which are flame-proof, breathable, and sweat-absorbent.

Compared with previous years, today's Wan Guo is much more prosperous.

When he thought of the development that Fishman Island could get after welcoming Vegapunk, the worry on Yixiao's face could not help but dissipate a little.

"That's your plan, Yoshiichi."

"It turns out that the Celestial Dragons were just one of your many targets from the beginning to the end."
