Chapter 557 Undercurrent and Night Talk, Seizing Power! (Two in One)

"Shut up, Kuzan!"

Before Kuzan finished speaking, Warring States shouted to stop him. He could understand Kuzan's current mood, but in front of so many marines at this time, there were some things that he absolutely couldn't say.

Warring States is a person whose reason is greater than emotion. He has been in a high position for many years. One of his biggest goals in life is to do his best to maintain the peace of the world.

It sounds like a very empty and unreal ideal.

However, the identity of Warring States still has the weight to say such words, and he also has the strength and status to match his ideals.

The contradiction between Enichi Jiguo and the World Government has been completely exposed. Even their navy headquarters itself has lost many top powerhouses at the hands of Enichi Jiguo.

But even so, in order to whitewash peace, the Warring States Period was still able to compromise on the fate of the successor country.

No matter who takes over the Navy Headquarters, as long as they can protect more ordinary people, no matter what kind of people they are, Sengoku will accept them.

Their navy headquarters has paid such a heavy price to maintain a delicate balance with Jiguo Yuanyi and the new navy.

The Warring States Period would never allow anyone to break this tacit understanding, not even General Kuzan!

"marshal?!"

Kuzan, who was stopped by the shout, also looked stunned and looked at Warring States in disbelief. Jiguoyuanyi killed the vanguard he led with a single blow in the Red Canyon, and thousands of naval elites were buried forever in the sea; Jiguoyuan even killed the naval hero Garp and the commander-in-chief Cyborg. null.

Kuzan couldn't understand why Sengoku could still stand on Jiguo Enichi's side.

Is the comradeship relationship between Sengoku and Garp fake? !

Although we haven't seen each other for some time, Kuzan is still the passionate young man.

Quickly standing up, Kuzan gritted his teeth, but he still did not choose to give up. His body suddenly disintegrated into thick ice mist, and a cool breeze suddenly blew up in the port of Marineford.

"Kaka——"

The water vapor in the air condensed rapidly, and crystal clear ice crystals formed on the eyebrows and beards of the marines standing on the coast.

The generals behind Yuanyi involuntarily took a step back under the cold wind.

Sakaski, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly raised his head and took steps to stop Tsukuni Enichi.

However, as soon as Sakaski made a move, he saw Jiguo Enichi in front suddenly waved his hand, stopping Sakaski from making any further moves:

"It doesn't matter, let General Kuzan vent."

As the cold wind howled, Kuzan's figure suddenly appeared next to Jiguo Yuanyi, holding an ice sword in his hand, and slashed directly at Jiguo Yuanyi's body.

Kuzan's attack was extremely ferocious, but Ji Guoyuan couldn't feel any killing intent from Kuzan's body.

after all

"You are so gentle Kuzan."

"How could you possibly kill me with your mentality like this?!"

"If you want to avenge them, such determination is not enough!"

Ji Guoyuan glanced sideways, quickly reached out with his right hand, and unexpectedly arrived first, grabbing Kuzan's neck directly.

"!!!"

Jiguo Enichi's speed was so fast that even Kuzan couldn't react for a while. By the time Kuzan realized that Jiguoyuan was fighting back, his own throat had already been hit by Jiguoyuanchi. system.

"Kuzan, as long as you want, you can challenge me anytime, anywhere!"

"If you can beat me, it doesn't matter if I give you the position of Navy Marshal!"

"If you want revenge, show me your determination!!!"

Ji Guoyuan exerted his strength and grabbed Kuzan with his domineering hand and smashed it to the ground. Kuzan, who was grabbed by the throat by Jiguoyuan, had no way to escape using elementalization.

"Boom!!!!"

A loud roar sounded along the coast of Marineford, and the thunder-like explosion soon spread throughout the island. As Kuzan's body was smashed into the ground, everyone could feel the island trembling slightly. It took a few seconds for the shock to subside.

In front of Jiguo Enichi, Kuzan's figure was no longer visible, leaving only a bottomless pit.

Kuzan was already seriously injured. After Ji Guoyuan's blows, the wound that had just healed burst open again. At the bottom of the pit, Kuzan was lying in a pool of blood. He tried his best to raise his head towards the sky above. He looked at the entrance of the cave, but after struggling a little, Kuzan felt his brain was dizzy, his head tilted, and he fainted.

On land, the violent aura restrained himself. Ji Guoyuan waved to the sergeants behind him and ordered:

"Send General Kuzan to the hospital."

"Others, go back and sort out the roster of your troops, and have a good rest tonight."

"After a night's rest, there will be a meeting in the auditorium at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. I have something to announce."

Ji Guoyuan lowered his head slightly and glanced at Kuzan, who had lost consciousness and fell into a coma at the bottom of the pit. After saying that, he led Yixiao and others to leave first.

After Guoyuan left, Sakaski, Porusalino and others also gathered at the entrance of the cave and looked at Kuzan at the bottom of the pit. Several people looked incomprehensible and didn't know what they were thinking.

The matter of arranging a residence for Ji Guoyuan and others fell into the hands of Major General Brannew.

He was originally the adjutant of the Warring States Period. Although the Warring States Period was forced to abdicate, he still hoped that the navy he was optimistic about could shine in his headquarters.

Although Brannew is not strong enough, he is meticulous in his work. He has been an adjutant of Sengoku for so many years and has experience in handling many things. Sengoku hopes that Brannew can continue to assist Tsukikuni Enichi and hopes that Brannew's experience can help Tsukigo. Guoyuan managed the naval headquarters well.

Although Tsukuni Enichi himself is the leader of the New Navy, the size of the New Navy is completely different from that of the Navy Headquarters, and there are many factions within the Navy Headquarters. It does not mean that Tsukuni Enichi can become the leader. The power continues.

If the people below are really dissatisfied with you, there are ten thousand ways to make it impossible for the "leaders" to do what they want to do.

Even if Jiguo Yuanyi formulates a "perfect" policy, the people below only need to implement Yuanyi's policy 120% if they want to sing the opposite, which is enough to turn the original good governance into bad governance.

Warring States had seen too many things here. He didn't want Ji Guoyuan to step into a trap, and he didn't want the Navy Headquarters to fall into meaningless internal strife.

The speed of information circulation among the navy in this department is very fast, and the news that Kuzan took action against the trusted admiral quickly spread throughout Marineford.

To say that there is no one behind this incident, I am afraid no one believes it at all.

Public opinion portrayed Kuzan as a righteous general who avenged his subordinates and did not hesitate to fight against his superiors. The news that Jiguoyuanyi killed Garp, Cyborg Kong and others was only spread in a small area; but at that time, the fact that Jiguoyuanyi severely wounded Kuzan and killed the vanguard of the headquarters was all the news. Everyone knows it.

As public opinion spread, "grapevine" even spread that Jiguoyuan killed Garp and Cyborg Kong.

For a time, the entire navy headquarters was shrouded in a shadow.

The impact of Ji Kokuenichi's return to the Navy Headquarters actually caused signs of division in the Navy.

When all this happened, Ji Guoyuan was unaware of anything.

On the night when the Dawn warship arrived at Marineford, Enichi Tsukuni's figure appeared in front of Zefa's mansion.

During the transfer of power, Zefa did not come forward at all. After learning that Ji Kunoyuanyi, Sengoku and others returned to the island, Zefa returned to his home and stayed behind closed doors.

After a busy day, Ji Guoyuan also planned to visit Zefa.

He knew that Zefa was hiding from him intentionally, but as a disciple under Zefa's care, Jiguo Enichi also needed to take the initiative to visit Zefa.

Although Zefa did not help Jiguo Yuanyi much in his growth path, Yuanyi was still grateful for Zefa's various promotions to him back then.

If it weren't for Zefa, Tsukikuni Enichi might not have chosen to join the Navy. Maybe after pretending to be quiet for several years, Tsukuni Enichi would have found an opportunity to leave the Navy headquarters.

Either venture on your own or find a peaceful and secluded place to continue your life.

The idealistic Zefa, Garp and others also have a great influence on Jiguoyuanyi.

The bright moon hangs high.

The cold moonlight was shining down, and the residential area of ​​Marineford was quiet, with only a few insects chirping from the grass.

Jiguo Yuanyi stopped in front of Zefa's door. He raised his hand several times to knock on the door, but he still lowered his hand hesitantly.

Zefa didn't know how to face Jiguo Yuanyi, and Jiguo Yuanyi didn't know how to face Zefa either.

Becoming a navy marshal in this way is definitely not what Zefa wants to see.

Moreover, no matter what the reason for the successor to the country was, Garp, a comrade who had been with Zefa for decades, eventually died in the hands of the successor to the country.

After hesitating in front of Zefa's door for a long time, Yuanyi finally sighed and prepared to turn around and leave.

"squeak--"

At this moment, the door of Zefa's house suddenly opened a crack, and Zefa, with a gloomy and complicated expression, also appeared behind the door. He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Guoyuan outside the door:

"It really doesn't look like you! Come in."

Zefa looked at Jiguo Yuanyi for a moment, then opened the door and said to Yuanyi.

"Teacher Zefa"

"Then excuse me."

When master and apprentice met, Jiguo Yuanyi and Zefa became much stranger than before. As the approach said, Jiguo Yuanyi's behavior at this time was somewhat different from the decisive behavior he had in the past.

tea room.

The sound of trickling water entered the room, and the frightened deer in the yard gently tapped the stone slabs under the influence of the water flow, making a rhythmic "ta-da" sound.

Under the moonlight, Jiguo Yuanyi and Zefa sat on their knees in front of the tea table. Zefa, who has always liked drinking more than tea, today carefully arranged the tea set and silently made Jiguoyuan a cup of tea. Had tea.

Looking from the outside, only the blurry black shadows of Yui Kunichi and Zefa in the teahouse can be seen.

Zefa and Jiguoyuan were silent for a long time. After all, Zefa was the first to break the silence:

"Cap's Corpse"

The relationship between Zefa and Garp was indeed very deep. Zefa asked about Garp as soon as he opened his mouth.

"On the starting island, I have already restrained the people. I will send Marinefodo to be buried in a while."

As soon as Ji Guoyuan knew what Zefa wanted to ask, he immediately answered.

"The Island of Beginning."

Although this was the first time Zefa heard the name of the island from Enichi Tsukuni, he could also guess that the starting island mentioned by Yuenichi was the place where Garp fell.

“very good name”

"How do you plan to arrange for those old guys like Sengoku and Tsuru?"

Zeffer's second question was about former Admiral Sengoku and Tsuru. Now that Garp is dead, Sengoku and Tsuru are his closest comrades.

"They are both experienced, in their sixties or seventies, and they are at the age of struggle."

"I hope they can teach young instructors how to become an excellent navy as staff members."

Facing Zefa, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't hide anything and answered directly.

"Sixties or seventies, is the age of struggle?"

"You kid, you are too inconsiderate to the elderly."

Zeffer shook his head and sighed after hearing this, and continued to ask:

"Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, what about the three of them?"

"I heard that Kuzan attacked you when you went to the island?"

Although Zefa has been staying indoors today, he has heard about what happened on the island. His third question is about the original three admirals.

"Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, these three admirals are important and indispensable forces for our Navy Headquarters."

"After the battle of the New World, the headquarters fleet was reduced, and we need these three admirals to continue to be active on the sea to maintain peace in the four seas."

"I plan to send Aokiji to the East China Sea."

"Send Borsalino to the South China Sea."

"Let Sakaski swim quickly in the first half of the Grand Line."

"It's a waste to let such a powerful force hide in the Navy Headquarters! Isn't it?"

Originally, the main purpose of the three admirals of the Navy sitting in the Navy Headquarters was to protect the Celestial Dragons on the Holy Land.

But for Jigoku, since he has already moved into the Navy Headquarters, why should the three continue to hide in the headquarters?

"Exiled?"

Zeff finally saw Jigoku Yoshiichi's deep intentions and pointed it out directly.

"Make the best use of them."

"They are strong and upright, and can take on more important responsibilities."

Tsukuni Yoshiichi shook his head and explained that letting the three admirals of the navy leave the headquarters to suppress the four seas is actually a means of decentralization.

Although Borsalino appears lazy, this guy is actually very smart; although the relationship between Kuzan and Tsukuni Yoshiichi has now reached a freezing point, this guy is upright and enthusiastic, and Yoshiichi is very confident that he can suppress the East China Sea.

Moreover, the East China Sea is Garp's hometown, but it is a disguised way to give Kuzan some time to sort out his emotions and remember his teacher.

As for Sakaski, this guy is a bit extreme. If he is placed in the first half of the Grand Line, he can still restrain him, but it is better to let him go to the four seas.

Zefa did not say anything more to Tsukuni Yoshiichi on this matter. Although he did not hear Tsukuni Yoshiichi's arrangements for the two seas of the North Sea and the West Sea, from Zefa's standpoint, after learning about Tsukuni Yoshiichi's next series of arrangements, he was much more relieved.

Not completely abandoning the generals of the headquarters means that Tsugakushi Yoriichi really wants to take the Marine Headquarters as his own power, and that's enough.

Under the moonlight, Zefa and Tsugakushi drank tea silently and did not discuss military affairs.

Although there was no other communication, the knot between Tsugakushi Yoriichi and Zefa was also loosened a lot.
