Chapter 676 Chess Pieces! (Two in One)

The battle that took place in Dragon Palace City was not known to many people. Although the news of the battle affected the entire Fish-Man Island, except for those in the navy, ordinary people did not dare to go near it.

The fish people have lived on this island for so long and have seen too many disputes. They understand that some bustles can be seen, but some bustles cannot be seen.

After all, your life is yours.

However, the people of Fish-Man Island were soon able to feel that Fish-Man Island had changed again.

After the battle that shook Fish-Man Island, the marines who often appeared patrolling the streets had all disappeared.

Magellan, Sabo and others left the Fish-Man Island with their subordinates overnight and returned to the Navy Headquarters. They did not even take a walk on the Fish-Man Island.

King Neptune, who had disappeared from the public's sight for many days, also reappeared in the public's sight. He briefly appeared on the square in front of the Dragon Palace City, calming the floating public sentiment.

A few days later, news came out in Ryugong City that Princess Otohime and the two princes, Emperor Hoshi and Kaki Hoshi, had died of illness.

Neptune concealed the true cause of death of his family members from the public, claiming that his princess and two princes died of illness, and did not disclose what the Celestial Dragons did in Dragon Palace City.

It is not difficult to understand this approach. Neptune would do this to protect his face as a "king".

If the people of Fishman Island knew that Neptune's own princess and prince were killed by outsiders under their own eyes, then Neptune, as the king, would have no face or dignity at all.

A king without dignity cannot rule the people.

But this approach of covering up the truth is really not correct.

Princess Otohime has a high prestige on Fishman Island. Many people felt sad after learning the news. They spontaneously gathered in the square in front of the gate of Ryugu Castle to mourn Princess Otohime in this way of gathering. .

Once people come together, they cannot avoid communicating with each other. Under the collision of ideas, a conspiracy theory about King Neptune is also rampant.

Some people speculate that King Neptune killed his wife and two children in order to control power. He colluded with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters to liquidate the new navy on the island, trying to regain his own power.

This conspiracy theory is actually ridiculous at first sight. Neptune is respected as the "Great Knight". Ever since he became the king of Fishman Island, he has always been conscientious. Integrity and generosity are synonymous with his conduct in the world.

And after marrying Princess Otohime, the relationship between the couple has been very harmonious, and there has never been any major conflict.

Those familiar with Neptune scoffed at the conspiracy theory.

But there are some things that you won’t speculate in that direction if you do it right.

After careful consideration, this conspiracy theory is actually very consistent with human nature, isn't it? ? This kind of rumor can spread widely throughout the island, and the people do not think that such a thing is groundless.

and

Princess Otohime and his two sons, who had always been healthy, suddenly died of illness. Combined with the huge chaos that had occurred on Fishman Island, this also made the people more suspicious of King Neptune.

Everyone on the island saw it. Among the people who hunted and killed the new navy members at that time, in addition to the CP agents directly affiliated with the World Government, there were also the Ryugu City guards directly affiliated with King Neptune.

Just as rumors were spreading all over the city, King Niton, who was at the center of the storm, was preparing for the funeral of his wife and two sons.

At this time, he was still immersed in the pain of the death of his family and had not recovered. Moreover, Dragon Palace City had been bloodbathed by the Celestial Dragons before, and some ministers loyal to King Neptune were not able to escape that catastrophe. massacre.

Dragon Palace City also minimized the control of public opinion. Because of this, it did not stop the spread of rumors.

As for Jinbei

After he was rescued by Ji Guoyuan, he did not return to the deserted Fishman Island branch, but followed Ji Guoyuan back to Zefa's ship for a short rest and recuperation.

What happened this time was also a huge blow to Jinbei. Although he himself was successfully rescued by Enichi Tsukuni, those subordinates who had been following him were almost completely destroyed under the plan of the Tianlong people.

The navy branch on Fish-Man Island now exists in name only. Except for a few middle- and high-level officers who were captured at the time, all the others were killed.

Jinbe's physical injuries actually healed very quickly. Enichi Tsukuni's Devil Fruit ability has a very powerful effect in repairing trauma.

But after recovering from his injury, Jinbei's mood was very depressed. He was listless and seemed to have completely lost his fighting spirit.

Their warship has entered the Fish-Man Island and docked in a bay deep in the Fish-Man Forest. It is surrounded by dense woods, isolated from the world and inaccessible.

During the day, Jinbei sat alone on the bow of the boat, staring blankly in the direction of Fishman Street and Mermaid Bay.

In the evening, he returned to the cabin silently and did not communicate with others.

Enichi Tsukuni and Zefa have been by Jinbei's side these days. Neither of them expected that this incident would have such a big impact on Jinbei. For a while, they were out of ideas and couldn't think of what to use. If so, go and persuade Jinbei.

Almost all of the subordinates who had lived and worked together for so many years were killed. Among these people were Jinbei's friends who had grown up together in Fishman Street since childhood, juniors who admired him and the new navy and joined the army, and young sergeants entrusted to him by his dead colleagues.

These people were the most important people in Jinbei's life as an orphan.

Now Jinbei's mentality was like Xiang Yu by the Wujiang River.

He didn't want to live in the city of Fishman Island because he was afraid to face the friends and relatives of his subordinates. He didn't know how he should face these people. At this time, Jinbei was extremely confused.

At this time, he suddenly felt a little tired of his current life. He didn't want to continue to be a new navy and didn't want to be the one entrusted.

He was afraid that others would have expectations of him, and he was even more afraid that his ability would not be able to respond to the expectations of others.

Jinbei's state lasted for three days, and the low pressure on him could be clearly felt by the sergeants on the whole ship.

Tsukuni Yoriichi also silently observed Jinbei for several days. He originally thought that Jinbei needed some time alone to digest the emotions in his heart, but after a few days, he found that Jinbei still couldn't get out of it, and Yoriichi couldn't help but feel anxious.

Yoriichi rarely has such emotions. Jinbei and Tsukuni Yoriichi didn't really spend much time together. Not long after they met, Jinbei was stationed in Fishman Island.

But Jinbei is one of the generals that Tsukuni Yoriichi really values. It is precisely because of Jinbei's existence that Tsukuni Yoriichi can be so assured to hand over Fishman Island to him to manage.

Strong, gentle, loyal, and more importantly, Jinbei from Fishman Island has no sectarianism and never thinks that there are any irreconcilable contradictions between fishmen and humans.

Moreover, he was born in Fishman Street and can balance the relationship between Ryugu Castle and the New Navy very well. It can be said that the stability and prosperity of Fishman Island today is closely related to Jinbei's efforts.

In the New Navy, no one is more suitable to manage Fishman Island than Jinbei, even Tiger, is slightly worse.

Because Tiger's strength is slightly inferior to Jinbei, the external pressure that Fishman Island needs to face is actually very great. Yunyi is worried about Tiger's strength level.

"Teacher Zefa, this won't work."

"Jinbei has been unable to get out of that mood for so many days. If it continues for a while, I'm afraid he will be decadent and depressed."

"You have been in the army for many years, you must have seen similar things, right?"

"Can you enlighten him?"

Tsukuni Yunyi and Zefa stood on the observation deck, looking at Jinbei who was sitting in a daze at the bow, their faces were full of worries.

Tsukuni Yunyi has clearly sensed that the aura emanating from Jinbei is undergoing drastic changes. He knows that he can't let Jinbei continue to be stubborn, and he must intervene.

But Tsukuni Yunyi is not good at doing this kind of thing. Helplessly, he can only find Zefa, hoping that his teacher can provide some help to Jinbei.

In Tsukuni Yunyi's view, his teacher Zefa is an extremely strong person.

His life also suffered a great change. His wife and children died in the hands of pirates, but Zefa came over. Yunyi felt that Zefa should be able to help Jinbei.

"."

However, Zefa shook his head gently after hearing this, and then raised his head to look at the sky, muttering:

"This kind of thing, relying on the two of us to persuade is useless."

"Jinbei must figure it out himself."

"If he can't figure it out himself, no matter what others do, it will be useless."

"I can understand his feelings, but Yunyi, we can't make choices for him."

"Whether it's you or me, no matter how powerful a person is, there are some things that can't be done."

The error-free version is reading! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.

Zefer's words seemed to be meaningful. Hearing this, Tsugakuin Yunyi also fell silent.

Zefer was talking about Jinbei, but at the same time, he was also reminding Tsugakuin Yunyi.

This time, Yoriichi Tsugakushi acted alone. Although he successfully killed three of the Five Elders and forced Im to kill one of the Five Elders, the result was undoubtedly very successful.

But Zefa was even more worried about Yoriichi Tsugakushi.

Yoriichi was too strong, so strong that he could solve many things by himself.

But absolutely strong strength will change a person, make him blindly confident, make him paranoid, and make him feel that he can solve everything by relying on his own abilities.

And this is also the beginning of the defeat of the strong.

"Yuriichi, relax."

"After you came back, I suddenly felt that something had changed in you."

"I think it's okay to relax. Not everything has to be under control."

"You can let Jinbei make his own choice, whether to continue to sink or to be reborn in adversity. This is his life."

Zeff patted Yoriichi Tsugakushi's arm gently, and then did not stay in the observation tower. He turned and left, leaving Yoriichi Tsugakushi alone.

"."

"Are you talking about Jinbei or Luffy?"

"Teacher Zephyr"

Ji Guoyuan didn't understand the purpose of Zefa's words for a while. Are you using this method to tactfully persuade yourself?

When dealing with Luffy, Enichi Tsukuni actually has a clear plan.

He had no intention of guiding Luffy to the new navy. From the moment Luffy left the navy headquarters and chose to go to sea to become a pirate, Enichi Tsukuni had already understood that Luffy was not something he could change.

But he needs Luffy who has eaten the Nika Fruit, and he needs to guide Luffy to stand on the opposite side of the World Government.

Regardless of whether he can uproot the Celestial Dragons, he must do it no matter what.

As for the method, Jiguo Yuanyi already had an idea in his mind.

Their new navy has been exploring the new world over the years and has obtained three red road signs and historical texts.

Tsukuni Yuen planned to give Luffy some experience first, and then "guide" him to the Holy Land to find the great secret treasure that he longed for.

Although Zefa didn't know the full picture of this plan, he knew that Enichi Jikun was planning the Straw Hat Pirates.

On the way to Fish-Man Island, Tsukikuni Enichi had already told Zefa tactfully and clearly that he would not kill Luffy who was making trouble on Fish-Man Island, but correspondingly, Luffy also had to pay some price for it.

Luffy is a very important chess piece for Ji Kuni Enichi to deal with the World Government.

"Bang——"

On the calm sea, the water suddenly surged up, forming a huge "sea bag".

The next moment, the sea bag shattered, and a large, brightly colored ship emerged from the sea. The bottom of the ship slapped hard on the sea, stirring up waves.

"Oh ho——"

"Finally out!"

The Sonny was bathed in bright sunshine, and a rainbow appeared in the sky as the water vapor filled the sky.

Luffy stood on the bow of the boat, spread his arms and howled loudly, feeling very good.

Although the world under the sea made him feel extremely novel, for someone like him who likes novelty, this period of undersea journey has also made him tired.

Luffy was naturally extremely happy to be able to leave the dark deep sea and return to the sun.

Of course, what's more important is that they have officially left the first half of the Grand Line and successfully entered the new world.

This also means that they are one step closer to the great secret treasure, and it means that Luffy is one step closer to the throne of the Pirate King.

For the pirates in this world, Fish-Man Island is an insurmountable obstacle.

After passing this hurdle, what awaits them is the so-called "sea of ​​stars".

"One Piece, I'm determined!!!"

Luffy, who was in a great mood, shook his arms and shouted towards the sky, venting his emotions.

And his words of "I don't know how high the sky is" also made the crew behind him smile knowingly.

No one in this world would believe that a kid like Luffy could one day become the Pirate King, and those who believed that Luffy would become the Pirate King were all on the Sonny at this time.
