Chapter 557: Undercurrent and Night Talk, Seizing Power!

"Shut up, Kuzan!"

Before Kuzan finished speaking, Zhan Guo repeatedly stopped him. He could understand Kuzan's current mood, but at this moment in front of so many navy officers, there were some things that he absolutely could not say.

Zhan Guo is a man who relies more on reason than emotion. Having held a high position for many years, one of his biggest goals in life is to do his best to maintain world peace.

It sounds like a very vague and empty ideal.

However, with Zhan Guo's identity, he has the weight to say such words, and he also has the strength and status to match his ideals.

The contradiction between Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the World Government has been completely exposed. Even their own Marine Headquarters has lost many top-level strongmen at the hands of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

But even so, in order to cover up the truth, Sengoku was still able to compromise with Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

No matter who takes over the Navy Headquarters, as long as he can protect more ordinary people, Sengoku can accept it no matter what kind of person it is.

Their naval headquarters has paid such a huge price to maintain a delicate balance with Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the new navy.

Sengoku would never allow anyone to break this tacit understanding, not even General Kuzan!
"marshal?!"

Kuzan was also stunned when he was stopped, looking at Sengoku in disbelief. Tsugikoku Yoriichi killed the vanguard he led in the Red Canyon with one blow, and thousands of naval elites were buried forever in that sea; Tsugikoku Yoriichi even killed the naval hero Garp and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kong.

Kuzan couldn't understand why Sengoku could still stand on the side of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

Is the comradeship between Sengoku and Garp all fake? !

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

Kuzan stood up quickly, gritted his teeth, and finally chose not to give up. His body suddenly disintegrated into thick ice fog, and a cool breeze suddenly blew over the port of Marinford.

"Kaka——"

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

The generals behind Yunyi couldn't help but take a step back under the cold wind.

Sakaski, who had been watching coldly, suddenly raised his head and took a step forward to block Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.

However, just as Sakaski was about to move, he saw Tsugikoku Yoshiichi in front of him suddenly waved his hand, stopping Sakaski from moving further:
"It's okay, let General Kuzan vent."

Amid the howling cold wind, Kuzan's figure suddenly appeared beside Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, holding an ice sword in his hand, and slashed directly at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.

Kuzan's attack was extremely fierce, but Tsugikoku Yoshiichi could not sense any killing intent from Kuzan.
after all
"You're so gentle Kuzan."

"With your mentality, how could you possibly kill me?!"

"If you want to avenge them, this kind of determination is not enough!"

Ji Guoyuan glanced to the side, quickly stretched out his right hand, and unexpectedly, he was the first to arrive and grabbed Kuzan's neck.

"!!!"

Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's speed was so fast that even Kuzan was unable to react for a while. By the time Kuzan realized that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was counterattacking, his throat had already been controlled by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.

"Kuzan, you can challenge me anytime, anywhere if you want!"

"If you can beat me, I'll give you the position of Admiral of the Navy!"

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

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi exerted his strength, and with his hand wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, he grabbed Kuzan and smashed him to the ground. Kuzan, who was strangled by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, had no way to escape by elementalization.

"Boom!!!!"

A loud roar sounded on the coast of Marinford, and the explosion like thunder soon spread throughout the island. As Kuzan's body was smashed into the ground, everyone could feel the island tremble slightly. After a few seconds, the shock gradually subsided.

In front of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, there is no trace of Kuzan anymore, only a bottomless pit is left.

Kuzan was already seriously injured, and after Guoyuan's blows, the wounds that had just shown signs of healing burst open again. At the bottom of the pit, Kuzan lay in a pool of blood, trying to raise his head to look towards the hole above, but after struggling for a while, Kuzan felt dizzy, his head tilted, and he fainted.

On land, the violent aura subsided. Ji Guoyuan waved to the soldiers behind him and ordered:

"Send General Kuzan to the hospital."

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

"After a night of rest, there will be a meeting in the auditorium at 9 a.m. tomorrow. I have something to announce."

Jiguo Yuanyi lowered his head slightly and looked at Kuzan who had lost consciousness and fallen into a coma at the bottom of the pit. Then he led Yixiao and others away.

After Guo Yuanyi left, Sakaski, Borsalino and others gathered at the entrance of the cave and looked at Kuzan at the bottom of the pit. They had mysterious expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

The task of arranging accommodation for Jiguo Yuanyi and others fell into the hands of Major General Brannew.

He was originally the adjutant of Zhan Guo. Although Zhan Guo was forced to abdicate, he still hoped that the navy he favored could shine in the headquarters.

Although Brannew is not very capable, he is meticulous in his work and has been Sengoku's adjutant for so many years, so he has experience in handling many things. Sengoku hopes that Brannew can continue to assist Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and hopes that Brannew's experience can help Tsugakuni Yoshiichi manage the headquarters of the navy.

Although Yoshiichi Tsugakuni 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 complex factions within the navy headquarters. It does not mean that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni will be able to pass on power just by becoming the top leader.

If the subordinates really don't obey you, there are ten thousand ways to prevent the "leaders" from doing what they want to do.

Even if Tsugikuni Yoriichi formulated a "perfect" policy, if the people below wanted to go against it, they only needed to implement Yoriichi's policy 120% to turn the original good policy into a bad one.

Zhan Guo has seen too many of these things. He doesn't want Jiguo Yuanyi to fall into a trap, and he doesn't want the headquarters of the navy to fall into meaningless internal friction.

Information flowed very quickly among the headquarters navy, and the news that Kuzan had taken action against the trusted admiral of the navy quickly spread throughout Marinford.

If you say that there is no one behind this matter, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Public opinion portrayed Kuzan as a righteous general who was willing to fight his superiors to avenge his subordinates. The news that Yoriichi Tsugakuni killed Garp, Sora Aoi and others was only spread in a small circle; but everyone knew that Yoriichi Tsugakuni severely injured Kuzan in the Red Canyon and killed the vanguard of the headquarters.

As public opinion spread, there was even a "rumor" that Yoriichi Tsugakuni killed Garp and Sora.

For a moment, the entire naval headquarters was shrouded in a shadow.

The impact of Kuniyoshi's return to the Navy Headquarters was actually causing signs of division in the Navy.

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

On the night when the warship Dawn arrived at Marinford, the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared in front of Zephyr's mansion.

Zephyr did not show up at all for the transfer of power. After knowing that Tsugakuni Yoriichi, Sengoku and others had returned to the island, Zephyr returned to his home and stayed indoors.

After a busy day, Tsugumi Yuichiro also planned to visit Zefa.

He knew that Zefa was deliberately avoiding him, but as a disciple under Zefa's care, Tsugaru Yoshiichi also needed to take the initiative to visit Zefa.

Although Zephyr didn't help Tsugakuni Yoriichi much in his growth, Yoriichi is still grateful for Zephyr's promotions. If it weren't for Zephyr, Tsugakuni Yoriichi might not have chosen to join the navy. Maybe after years of pretending to be silent, Tsugakuni Yoriichi would have found an opportunity to leave the navy headquarters.

Either take your own risks or find a peaceful and secluded place to continue your life.

Zephyr, Garp and others who have ideals also have a great influence on Yoriichi Tsugakuin.
The bright moon hangs high.

The cold moonlight shone down, and the residential area of ​​​​Marinford was quiet, with only the chirping of insects coming from the grass.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi stopped in front of Zefa's door, raised his hand several times to knock on the door, but still put his hand down hesitantly.

Zephyr doesn't know how to face Tsugakuni Yoriichi, and similarly, Tsugakuni Yoriichi doesn't know how to face Zephyr.

Becoming the Admiral of the Navy in this way is definitely not what Zephyr wants to see.

Moreover, no matter what the reason was, Garp, Zephyr's comrade-in-arms who had been with him for decades, eventually died at the hands of Tsugakure Yoriichi.

After hesitating for a long time in front of Zefa's door, Yunyi 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, appeared behind the door. He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Guoyuan outside the door:

"That's really not like you! Come in."

Zefa looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi for a moment, then opened the door and spoke to Yoriichi.

"Teacher Zefa"

"Then excuse me."

When the master and the apprentice met, Tsugikoku Yoriichi and Zefa became much more unfamiliar than before. As the practice said, Tsugikoku Yoriichi at this time was a little different from the decisive him in the past.

tea room.

The sound of trickling water flowed into the room, and the frightened deer in the yard gently tapped the stone slabs under the action of the water, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound.

Under the moonlight, Yuichi Tsugumi and Zefa sat on their knees in front of the tea table. Zefa, who has always preferred drinking wine to drinking tea, was fiddling with the tea set meticulously today and silently made tea for Yuichi Tsugumi.

Looking from outside, one could only see the vague shadows of Kuniyoshi and Zephyr in the tea room.

Zefa and Jiguo Yuanyi were silent for a long time. Finally, it was Zefa who broke the silence first:
"Garp's Corpse"

The relationship between Zephyr and Garp is indeed very deep. As soon as Zephyr opened his mouth, he asked about Garp.

"I have already had people collect him on the Island of Origin. He will be brought to Marinford for burial in a while."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi knew what Zefa was going to ask and immediately responded.

“The island of beginnings.”

Although it was the first time that Zephyr heard the name of the island from Tsugikuni Yoriichi's mouth, he could also guess that the Starting Island mentioned by Yoriichi was the place where Garp fell.

“A great name”

"What are you going to do with those old guys like Zhan Guo and He?"

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

"They are both very experienced and in their 60s and 70s, which is the right age for hard work."

“I hope they can teach the young instructors how to be a good Marine as a staff member.”

Facing Zefa, Tsugaru Yoshiichi did not hide anything and answered directly.

"Sixty or seventy years old, is it the right age to strive for success?"

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

Hearing this, Zefa shook his head, sighed, and continued to ask:
"Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, where are the other three?"

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

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

"Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, these three admirals are the indispensable and important combat forces of our Marine Headquarters."

"During the New World War, our headquarters fleet was reduced in size, and we need these three masters to continue to be active on the sea and maintain peace in the world."

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

"Send Borsalino to the South Sea."

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

"It's a waste to have such a powerful force hiding in the Marine Headquarters! Isn't it?"

Originally, the main purpose of the three admirals of the navy sitting in the navy headquarters was actually to protect the Celestial Dragons in the holy land.

But for national reasons, since they have already moved into the Marine Headquarters, why should the three major groups continue to hide in the headquarters?
"Exiled?"

In the end, Zefa saw through the deeper intentions of Tsugaru Yoshiichi and pointed them out directly.

“Make the most of everything.”

"They are strong, have integrity and can take on greater responsibilities."

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

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

Moreover, the East China Sea is Garp's hometown, but this also gives 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, I can still control him, but it is better to let him go to the four seas.

Zefa did not say anything more to Jiguo Yuanyi about this matter. Although he did not hear Jiguo Yuanyi's arrangements for the North Sea and the West Sea, from Zefa's point of view, he felt much more relieved after learning about Jiguo Yuanyi's subsequent series of arrangements.

The fact that he did not completely abandon the generals of the headquarters shows that Yoriichi Tsugakuni really wanted to take the Marine Headquarters into his own power, and that is enough.

Under the moonlight, Zefa and Jiguo drank tea in silence without discussing military affairs.

Although there was no other communication, the knot between Tsugumi Yoriichi and Zephyr was loosened a lot.
