Chapter 611 The flag bearer of the new era! (Three in one)

"United Kingdom?!"

Tsugokuni Yuichi's idea of ​​the United Kingdom was just a beginning. After hearing Tsugokuni Yuichi's next plan, Zefa showed a little surprise on his face.

In recent years, Zefa has been planning the future of the New Navy.

Now the military government model of the New Navy is obviously not going to last long. In a place like the New World, all countries are facing a huge threat from pirates. The powerful army of the New Navy is obviously very attractive to these countries.

Relying on the flag of the New Navy, they can peacefully "plant flags" on most islands in the New World to expand their influence.

However, such a military government model cannot be used in the four seas and the first half of the Grand Route.

In places like the East China Sea, although there are also threats from pirates at sea, pirates of the level of the East China Sea are not a threat to some powerful countries, just like psoriasis.

The military government model of the New Navy is obviously not feasible in such places, and the powerful countries do not need to find a "father" to help them resist the invasion of pirates.

The reason why the World Government can thrive in places like the Four Seas is mainly due to the accumulation of historical reputation. Of course, the most important reason is the power of the Celestial Dragons and the Navy Headquarters.

Who wouldn't be terrified to see a non-member country being wiped out in three years?

The thundering means of the World Government can naturally deter all countries that try to break away from control and make the citizens of these countries pay the Heavenly Gold obediently.

It is precisely because of this method of the World Government that the slave trade in this world will never disappear. The World Government must let everyone see that the end of violating the will of the World Government is "eternal slavery".

In the governance system of the World Government, except for the Celestial Dragons, everyone is a beast of burden.

However, the New Navy wants to snatch the right to survive from the World Government, but it cannot use the same method as the World Government.

Let's not talk about whether the World Government's "three-year annihilation of a country" is in line with the original intention of Tsugakuko Yoshiichi to establish the New Navy. Just say that in terms of this way of doing things, why should the member countries of the World Government risk being liquidated by the World Government to join the New Navy? !

Even if there is a possibility of a change of dynasty in this world, wouldn't it be better to wait until the day when the New Navy and the World Government decide the winner before making their decision?

So the New Navy must find another way out, and their way forward must not be the way the World Government is taking now.

At this stage, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's idea is to use the World Government led by the Celestial Dragons and the pirates rampant on the sea as the target of internal unity.

First, there is the name of the United Kingdom, and the New Navy becomes the absolute military and political hub, firmly combining all countries in the form of interest binding.

The influence of the World Government in the New World is very weak, and pirates are a huge problem that all countries in the New World suffer from.

Moreover, unlike the maritime environment of the Four Seas, the New World is the last sea area leading to the final island in the second half of the Grand Line. The pirates who can break here are all masters from the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line.

Pirates who can move freely on the sea in such a harsh climate are definitely not something that ordinary people can match. For civilians, even if they are given blades and guns, they may not be able to resist pirates of this level.

It is precisely because of such a harsh maritime environment that the new navy has the soil for survival.

Their new navy can continue to expand in such a place in the new world, in fact, it is also due to the chaos in the new world. If it is in a place like the four seas, the development of the new navy will never be as rapid as it is now.

Although the people there are burdened with heavy heavenly gold and exploited by the domestic aristocracy, their lives can always continue, but they are just a little harder to live. There is no need to follow the new navy and embark on a road of uncertainty.

For the vast majority of citizens in the new world, it is normal to be insecure, and the powerful new navy can provide shelter for ordinary people.

When faced with choices, people with shoes on their feet and people without shoes on their feet will choose completely different options.

Such truths, Zefa, who once sat in the high position of the admiral of the navy for more than ten years, can figure it out when thinking calmly. It is precisely because he understands these truths that he feels the future development of the new navy is very difficult.

Tsugikoku Yuichi's "United Kingdom" idea has a certain feasibility, but to be honest, Zefa is not optimistic.

At this time, the people in the office are all veterans of the New Navy and the most trusted partners of Tsugakushi Yoshiichi. Most of them have been with Tsugakushi Yoshiichi since the establishment of the New Navy.

From the beginning, Tsugakushi Yoshiichi and his partners had relatively simple demands, with only three goals.

Completely remove the slave trade from this world; pull down the Celestial Dragons who regard the people as grass from the throne, and let the World Government restore a certain degree of autonomy; the last goal is to clean up all the pirates.

However, with the vigorous development of the New Navy, these "start-up teams" have become more and more mature after experiencing the baptism of reality, which makes them realize that simply cleaning up the Celestial Dragons may not be able to solve all the current conflicts.

Even without the Celestial Dragons, the member states of the World Government have their own administrative systems, and the kings still govern their own countries according to their own wishes.

There are thousands of countries in the world that can be named, and it is impossible to expect that all the kings of the kingdoms are wise and powerful. There are always some people who follow the path of the Celestial Dragons and exploit the lower classes of their own countries for their own luxurious lives.

When the people are dissatisfied, they will find ways to change the status quo. They will find a ship and gather a group of equally dissatisfied people, and a pirate group will be born.

In other words, even if the New Navy can completely eradicate the Celestial Dragons one day, if the framework of the World Government is not completely changed, the final result may not be changed.

These senior officials in the New Navy have not thought about the future development direction of the New Navy, but the cruel reality and the difficult-to-change status quo make them only focus on the things in front of them for the time being, and dare not think about it any further.

Believe in the wisdom of later generations.

Sometimes, such thoughts flashed through Zephyr's mind. He selectively ignored some internal contradictions that might erupt in the future, and let the new navy enter the slow lane of development.

If you walk slowly, you should be able to be more stable, right?

Slow and stable, there is no such close connection between the two, but most people subconsciously think that slowing down can be more stable.

However, the appearance of Yuichi Tsugakuin has put the new navy back on the fast track.

Yuichi is very grateful to Zephyr, because it was he and Kuzan who joined and helped the new navy maintain its position until now.

Otherwise, during the period when Yuichi Tsugakuin disappeared, the high-end combat power of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters would have overwhelmed the new navy, and the Five Elders would never miss such an opportunity and would completely destroy the new navy.

Maybe the lives of powerful men like Yixiao and Mihawk, who are terrifying in strength, will not be threatened, but the new navy as an organization will definitely disintegrate with the death of Yuichi Tsugakuin.

However, the arrival of Zephyr and Kuzan has maintained a delicate balance between the high-level combat power of both sides.

Admiral Kuzan, who is at the peak of his powers, and former Admiral Zefa, who has a complex network of people in the headquarters, plus the top strongmen of the new navy, even if Jiguo Yuichi is not there, the Five Elders dare not act rashly.

Zefa has made an indelible contribution to the stability of the new navy.

But he is different from Jiguo Yuichi. Zefa can only lead the new navy to a smooth landing, while Jiguo Yuichi can lead the new navy to a higher level.

The upper limit of strength determines that what they can do is different!

Although Zefa is pessimistic about Jiguo Yuichi's idea of ​​the United Kingdom, he will not pour cold water on Jiguo Yuichi at this time.

Now that Yuichi has returned, all the senior officials of the new navy are excited, and the idea of ​​the United Kingdom also gives everyone the goal and direction of their efforts.

This is also the first step for Jiguo Yuichi to regain his prestige after his return. What Zefa can do is to check for omissions and fill in the gaps for his disciple, find a way to make the United Kingdom truly realized, and solve possible internal contradictions as much as possible after realization.

"Yuichi, now that you are back, with you in charge, the new navy will need some effort to unify the new world, but it won't be too difficult."

"What I want to know is what happens after the establishment of the United Kingdom?!"

"Will it be like the model of the World Government, where the member states are still highly autonomous and only need to pay dues on time?"

Zeffa naturally couldn't directly oppose his disciples, but he also needed to use some hints to let Yoichi Tsugakukoku understand how terrible the resistance they will face in the future is.

Deny the ruling power of the heads of the countries?

If so, the World Government and its member states will be closely united.

Copy the model of the World Government to form the United Kingdom? Then their new navy is just a new headquarters of the Navy, and these founding members of the new navy and their future families and descendants are just another group of Celestial Dragons.

Nothing will change!

"World Government?!"

"Of course we can't do it that way."

"After coordinating the new world and establishing the United Kingdom, we will set up a United Government."

"Let all citizens of the United Kingdom elect their own representatives, join the United Government, and form a new management system."

"Then use the laws of the United Kingdom to govern the country."

"If the United Kingdom is just a false facade like the World Government, what's the point?"

When facing Zefa's question, Yuichi Tsugikoro said this without even the slightest hesitation. The idea of ​​the United Government had been brewing in Yuichi Tsugikoro's mind several years ago.

If it weren't for the accident in Alabasta, the New Navy might have completed the coordination of the power of the New World at this stage.

But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to start now!

"Citizens elect their own representatives? Common laws?"

"Are you going to let the so-called United Government directly participate in the management of specific affairs of each member country?!"

"Isn't this a disguised deprivation of the legitimacy of the rule of the aristocracy of the member countries?"

"With this method, will there really be countries that voluntarily join us?"

"And, will this approach lead to greater unity on the world government side?"

"Those nobles should be very afraid of your United Kingdom and follow the World Government closely, right?"

Zefa finally couldn't hold back and spoke out his concerns. His words also slightly cooled down the originally heated atmosphere in the conference room.

After hearing this, Kuzan also looked thoughtful. In a short period of time, Kuzan could not solve the contradiction mentioned by Zefa. Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit cold, Kuzan also showed a smile and smoothed things over:

"Teacher Zefa, the matter of the United Kingdom is still Yuanyi's idea for the time being. We can discuss the details later."

"Before forming the United Kingdom, shouldn't we unite the new world first? It's too late to finish this matter first!"

Kuzan laughed, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere in this way.

When Zefa heard this, he also realized that he was a little quick to talk. He has been the top leader of the New Navy for these years. When Yuan comes back, he actually has to hand over the power. Zefa actually has no intention of taking over the power. At this moment, it is just Just discussing the matter.

Zefa is open-minded, but it does not mean that he is inexperienced in the world. Although Jiguoyuanyi is his disciple, Zefa also knows that he should not refute Jiguoyuanyi's face at this time.

After reacting, Zefa also realized that he was speechless. He followed the ladder handed up by Kuzan and said with a smile: "Haha, that's right."

"These are all things for later. Yuanyi said that we should integrate the forces of the new world and fight against the rampant pirates. I absolutely support it."

"Haha, if those pirates in the new world know that Yuanyi is back, they will probably run away immediately with their tails between their legs, hahaha!"

Zefa's words also revitalized the atmosphere in the conference room.

When Ji Guoyuan saw Zefa changing the topic, he understood Zefa's concerns in an instant. He smiled and shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Teacher Zefa, Kuzan, although we haven't seen each other for some years, our relationship shouldn't have to go to this extent, right?!"

"The new navy is not just a new navy for me, but a new navy for all of us."

"If you have any questions, there is no need to worry about it. Just let it be discussed. The system will become more perfect the more we discuss it."

"I have deduced the situations you just mentioned."

"The foundation for the new navy to gain a foothold is to stand by the side of ordinary people."

"Whether it's against pirates or against Celestial Dragons, the starting point has never changed."

"I know the resistance we'll face will be huge, but that's the price of change."

"The nobles won't like us, but we don't need their likes either——"

"And our new navy doesn't need to bear the pressure from the nobles head-on. Aren't there people who can help us share the burden?"

"Long, Mr. Garp's son, has caused quite a stir in the world over the years."

"And compared to them, our new navy is much gentler. At least, we take cleaning up pirates as our first priority."

"Their main purpose is to overthrow the existing nobles."

"Proper support supports the dragons so that they can free their hands and feet to fight. We only need to do what we should do."

"No matter what method or method is used, it cannot be perfect, and the voices of opposition will never disappear."

"It is not easy to satisfy the vast majority of the people."

"At least let them not have to worry about survival first."

Jiguo Yuanyi's words were also very realistic, and he did not want to avoid the problem. In other words, he had actually thought about Zefa's concerns.

What to do?

All we can do is fight.

From the beginning, change was a matter of life and death.

Yuanyi has been prepared to be the enemy of the whole world since the establishment of the new navy.

At that time, he was even alone, but now he has so many partners with him, and his strength is far greater than before.

He was already fearless.

When Yuanyi said those words, his tone was calm, but Zefa could see the indomitable fighting spirit in Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes.

This disciple of his had already made a decision and was mentally prepared.

Zefa, who realized this, smiled knowingly, and then seemed to be unable to hold back the joy in his heart, and laughed loudly:

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"You still haven't changed at all!"

"It's still the Enichi Tsukuni I know!"

Zefa was completely relieved. No matter where the new navy would eventually be taken by the country, Zefa did not regret leaving the navy headquarters at all.

He knows that hope lies in the new navy

That night, Enichi Tsukuni and his friends talked about his vision of the future world, talked about the strange things he had seen on the Holy Land, and talked about what he had seen and heard in Wano Country.

When talking about Wano Country, Enichi noticed that Koushiro's expression changed slightly, but his daughter Kuina was indifferent to the name Wano Country.

Thinking about it, Kuina probably didn't know that her family was a samurai from Wano.

Koushiro actually has no feelings for Wano Country. It was a long time ago when the ancestors came out of there. However, Tsukuni Yuen mentioned Wano Country in one breath, which made Koushiro couldn't help but think of himself. My father passed away a few years ago.

I heard from family members that his father often went fishing on the coast during the last period of his life, but Koushiro knew that fishing was not his father’s main purpose at all. He went to the coast to sit quietly and look at Wano Country. direction, just thinking about my hometown

As a person gets older, his only obsession is to return to the place where he grew up and take a look. If it weren't for Koushiro's busy schedule, Kozaburo would have wanted his son to bury him in his hometown.

Thinking of his father, Koushiro's mood became a little depressed, and he became a little less interested in the chats and discussions among his friends.

Guina seemed to notice that her father was a little depressed, and she strangely gently grabbed her father's forearm and shook it.

Zefa's conference room has now become a teahouse.

After briefly talking about the business, Enichi started chatting with his friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time and reminiscing about old times. Enichi also noticed Koushiro's sudden low mood. He was about to ask, but suddenly he heard a commotion outside the door:

"Hey, stop, the generals and lieutenant generals are having a meeting, you can't go in!"

Zefa is now regarded as the marshal of the new navy. Naturally, there are guards guarding the door of his office. After letting some generals who were familiar with Yuanyi come in, he ordered the door to be closed.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Zefa realized that someone seemed to be trying to break in?

"Meeting?"

"Why is it a meeting?"

"Have you seen Mr. Mihawk? Has he been here?"

Stars were twinkling in the sky, and Jiguo Enichi and his friends had been chatting for a while.

Outside the door, he tried his best to find the way back, but Zoro, who was brought back to the naval base by kind people, came to see Mihawk as soon as he came back. He judged the cake from Mihawk's expression when he left. There must be some uninvited guest on the island.

But when he came to Zefa's side, he was stopped by the lieutenant on duty.

Without seeing Mihawk, Sauron still couldn't let go and wanted to see Zefa or Mihawk with his own eyes.

"Mr. Mihawk? He is in a meeting. It's so late. What are you doing with him? Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

The lieutenant waved his hand towards Zoro, signaling Zoro to leave.

But if a person with Zoro's character hadn't confirmed it with his own eyes, how could he give up?

"Both of you, please do me a favor and tell me that my name is Nonoroa Zoro."

"I want to see Mr. Zefa or Mr. Mihawk with my own eyes."

"It's really urgent!"

The dispute between Sauron and the two lieutenants on duty had already been known to everyone in the room.

Mihawk, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, froze when he heard Zoro's familiar voice, and coughed lightly:

"I'll go out and take care of it."

But just when Mihawk was about to get up, Guina, who heard the movement outside the door, rolled her eyes and said continuously:

"Mr. Mihawk, just sit down."

"I'll go."

After Kuina finished speaking, she walked directly towards the door. Looking at her daughter who was acting in a hurry, Koushiro also touched his cheek with some embarrassment.

"Nonoroa Zoro."

Ji Guoyuan looked towards the door. At this time, Kuina also opened a small crack in the door and got out. She knew that the news of Ji Guoyuan's return needed to be kept secret, so she did not open the door wide when she went out. .

In this moment, Ji Guoyuan saw the green algae-headed young man outside the door.

"Grown up"

"With the new navy, it's time to have new flag bearers."
