On Ridcheled Island, the war between the Navy and the Beast Pirates was at a stalemate, and on the afternoon when the Navy occupied the port of Rydchiled Island, the Navy and the pirates reached a wonderful tacit understanding, and neither took the initiative to trouble each other again.

The island is in an eerie harmony.

The warships that had been docked in front of the island also dispersed one after another on this day, and a number of warships were dispatched to the east, north and south of Ridchelid Island, enclosing the entire island from three directions.

Except for the eastern side, where the Kapu and other navies landed, there were shoals in the other three directions, and if there were ships, they would be able to escape smoothly.

The only west side without a naval blockade is a sea cliff tens of meters high, although this height is nothing for some tough pirates, but that sea cliff usually has no pirate ships docked, and it is impossible for pirates to escape from the island across the vast sea.

That being said, the pirates were quite happy when they noticed that there was still a gap on the island that had not been blocked by the navy.

In the senses of the pirates, the Navy did not "do things absolutely".

Ji Guoyuanyi gave Zefa the task of commanding the northern blockade line, and after Ji Guoyuanyi took over the command, he was not polite to his teacher, and directly assigned the task.

At the same time, Ji Guoyuanyi also asked Cyrus to go to Zefa's ship, and while helping Zefa, he also hoped that Cyrus could learn something from Zefa.

To the south, Ji Guoyuanyi was handed over to the commander of Bogart, who led a part of the warships to blockade the coast. Bogart is Karp's lieutenant, although there is no way to compare his military rank with those generals who accompany the team, but he has seniority, and his words represent Karp to some extent.

And to assist him was Mihawk.

Ji Kunichi didn't know if his memory was confused, he always thought that as Karp's adjutant, Bogart's strength should be very strong, but in fact, Bogart's personal strength did not reach the extent that Yuanyi imagined.

If you have to make a comparison, Bogart's ability is just the level of an ordinary major general.

I don't know if he will be able to make great progress in the future, but at least for now, Bogart simply cannot afford to block the coast.

In order to make up for his lack of strength, Yuan Yi could only ask Mihawk to help.

Over the years, Mihawk has been improving, and on the road of swordsmanship, Mihawk has never stopped.

Ji Guoyuan's strength of Mihawk is very assured, even if the captain of the Hundred Beast Pirates, Kaido personally takes action, it is impossible to take Mihawk in a short time, and if the other party fights with Mihawk on land, it may not even be Mihawk's opponent.

With Mihawk's help, even if the south is hit by pirates, it can support them to come back to the edge of the country.

After making these arrangements and deployments, Ji Guoyuan initially focused on thinking about how to deal with the Hundred Beast Pirates.

Ideally, the Hundred Beast Pirates would retreat in the face of Ji Guoyuanyi's style of play, and began to flee.

That sea cliff can stop the vast majority of ordinary pirates, and it is expected that there will not be many spare ships for the pirates, and those who can escape are definitely a strong minority.

Most people can't escape.

As long as the cadres of the Hundred Beast Pirates escape, Ji Guoyuan is sure that he will be able to control the situation on the battlefield with his overlord color domineering in an instant.

Of course, this is the ideal situation.

If the Hundred Beast Pirates are determined to tie up the people and confront the navy, then it will be a big trouble for the navy. It is very likely that this time the liquidation plan will be completely declared bankrupt, and it will also be a surprise, and it will become even more difficult to clean up the Hundred Beast Pirates after that.

In the evening, the dark red and golden rays of the sky merge and stain the sea.

The sea breeze blows, and the sparkling sea carries the many warships on the sea up and down.

Ji Guoyuan stood on the top of a roof, frowning slightly, looking at the castle in the middle of the island, and the afterglow of the setting sun pulled Ji Guoyuanyi's figure to the elder.

His gaze was full of worry and depth.

No way.

After thinking about it for an afternoon, Ji Guoyuan didn't find a way to solve the current dilemma perfectly. He wasn't sure he would be able to clean up the pirates on the island while protecting the common people.

Not to mention the fate of the country, even if it is an ancient civilization with a thousand-year-old culture, there is no good way to face the situation of "attacking the city with the people" in history.

The end result is either to kill the people who are being coerced, or to relent, and the enemy will break the city.

Although the current situation faced by Ji Guoyuan is different, the core of the problem is also the same.

You can only choose between killing enemies and protecting the populace.

Best of both worlds?

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

"Yuanyi, what are you going to do?"

"I've been thinking about it for an afternoon, have you made up your mind?"

Just when Ji Guoyuan Yi looked at the castle in the distance, Karp jumped on the roof, looked at Ji Guo Yuanyi who was frowning, and asked in a deep voice.

"Decided?"

"Lieutenant General Karp, what would you do if it were you?"

Ji Guoyuan pondered for a long time, sighed lightly, and asked Karp beside him. After living for so long in several lifetimes, he really ran out of ideas for a while when he encountered such a situation.

If only Kaido could be a little reckless! Directly let the Hundred Beast Pirates and the Navy fight head-on, like this. Things are well settled!

Yuan Yi's grasp of Kaido's character is a little impression after all, he thought that the other party was a reckless man who was not afraid of heaven and earth.

But Kaido, who was able to steal the country of Wano and at the same time be able to carefully manage the country of Wano for so many years, and also secretly developed Brother Ming as a downline to expand his strength, is really not a fool.

Kaido knows what kind of people can fight and what kind of people can't.

Facing the navy led by Ji Guoyuanichi, Karp and Zefa, Kaido was careful in every move except for letting Ember test Zefa's strength.

The reason why Ember was caught by the Navy was only because Kaido didn't expect Jiguo Yuan to suddenly appear and then slash Ember for a second.

In this case, Kaido is also bitter and can't say it.

"What will I do?"

"In this battle, the commander is you, Yuanyi."

Karp smiled when he heard this, and seemed not to worry about the current situation at all.

When Yuan Yi heard this, he couldn't help but look back at Karp helplessly, Karp walked to Yuan Yi's side, looked at Yuan Yi's line of sight, and said:

"If it's me. I would have chosen to retreat. ”

"Fate one."

Karp's words made Jiguo Yuanyi stunned.

Fall back? This option has never appeared in Yuanyi's mind. The navy has finally gathered such a powerful force, and the top brass of the navy is also fully supporting the liquidation of the Hundred Beast Pirates.

In Yuanyi's opinion, this is the perfect opportunity to retreat? Are you kidding.

Seeing Yuanyi's slightly stunned expression, Karp couldn't help laughing, and said earnestly:

"Yuanyi, from the time you became a navy to the present, you don't seem to have failed, right?"

"Since you grew up, no matter what kind of pirate you are, you basically can't escape your knife."

"But first, the situations you face are actually the easiest situations to deal with."

"Because you just have to crush your current opponent."

"However, the situation we are facing today is different."

"Are we dealing with a group of pirates? No, we're facing a country of pirates! ”

"The people and the pirates mingle with each other. The land of pirates. ”

Karp changed his unreliable image and said in a heavy tone.

"Pirate Country?"

It's the first time I've heard this word, and there is a hint of doubt behind his eyes.

"Yes, Pirate Nation!"

"Ridcheled."

"From the time I went to the island, I already noticed that the people of this island and the pirates have become inseparable."

"When I first came to the island, the houses around me were empty."

"The pirates have been prepared for a long time, and these people have long been evacuated by the pirates."

"What kind of pirates do you think are the most difficult to deal with? Are they those pirates who brutally plunder ordinary people? ”

"No, it's the Hundred Beast Pirates, who have a clear structure and try to 'rule' this country, and the pirates are the most difficult to deal with."

"Yuan Yi, if you can't become an executioner, you won't be able to clean up the Hundred Beast Pirates."

After Karp finished speaking, he turned around, jumped lightly, and fell to the ground.

"It's almost time to eat, no matter if you have the means to do it now, let's eat first."

Karp shouted to Jikuni Ichiro, and then walked away.

Thinking about what Karp said, Ji Guoyuanichi's mind gradually became clearer.

Speaking of which.

Who is the toughest enemy Wang Luffy has ever faced? Is it the Four Emperors Kaido? Or the Four Emperors' Aunts?

Actually, it's neither.

Rather, Doflamingo blocked the entire Dressrosa with a birdcage. Doflamingo's madness is more terrifying than Kaido, more terrifying than Big Mom. You can't imagine what the people of Dressrosa will face if Wang Luffy fails.

Kaido, who is now facing Guoyuanyi, is still sensible. At present, the island of Ridchelid is, at best, Tazhai Village plus.

"Give up now, in fact, there is one last way. Isn't it? ”

At sunset, Ji Guoyuan looked at the castle in the middle of the island and made a decision in his heart.

On the coast, the navy began to light fires for cooking, curling smoke, making the battlefields that had previously experienced the baptism of artillery fire full of life.

But it was just the last quiet before the storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Captain Kaido!"

"Kaido-sama! Open the door, open the door quickly! ”

Early in the morning, there was a knock on Kaido's door. Kaido, who was already nervous, jumped up from the couch the moment he heard the noise outside the door, and clenched the mace in his hand.

Looking around, he didn't see anything unusual, and he was relieved at the moment, listening to the noise outside the house, Kaido also opened the door a little impatiently.

"Calling what? What happened? ”

Kaido opened the door and yelled at the people outside, and then looked coldly at the cadres who had gathered outside the door early in the morning.

Seeing Kaido come out, a pirate also hurriedly squeezed in front of Kaido and said:

"Kaido-sama, it's not good!"

"The Navy intends to execute Lord Ember!"

"Public execution, the Navy intends to publicly execute Ember at sea!"

Hearing this, Kaido's "wake-up gas" suddenly disappeared, his pupils widened, and he rushed directly to the window, looking through the binoculars in the room at the east coast where the navy was stationed.

At this time, the battlefield on the beach has been cleaned up, and the countless speedboats on the coast have disappeared without a trace for a while.

The navy, which had occupied the houses by the beach, had disappeared without a trace.

The Navy retreated!

On the distant coast, the warships were regrouped, and the blockade of Ridchiled Island was completely released by the navy.

"What about the Navy? What about those abominable navies! ”

"Where did you hear the news that the Navy is going to execute Ember?"

"Huh?! Speak! ”

"Impossible, how could the navy execute Ember, they are not willing to do it at all!"

"Ember is the hell"

In the end, Kaido seemed to sense his gaffe, rushed to the door, grabbed the collar of the pirate he had just reported, and asked:

"How did this news come about?"

The pirate who was grabbed by Kaido's collar hurriedly replied, "The navy was evacuated from the island early this morning. ”

"After they left, I sent someone to investigate."

"The Navy left nothing but a radio phone bug."

"The news of the Navy's intention to execute Lord Ember in three days is playing on a loop."

"Lord Kaido, look at the bow of the largest warship in the fleet, Lord Ember, is still tied up by the navy, and the execution table has been set up over there!"

Hearing the news, Kaido's whole person was like a lightning strike and froze in place. But soon, Kaido came back to his senses, and after snorting lightly, he said to these cadres in front of him with a cold face:

"I'm not going to let Ember die!"

"Inform everyone, prepare the boat, I'm going to get Ember out myself!"

As he spoke, Kaido's overlord domineering aura escaped directly, and the window of the room was directly shattered by this terrifying overlord domineering aura, and the mace in Kaido's hand slammed into the wall, immediately leaving a big hole in the wall.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Kaido's body, the cadres of a hundred beast pirates left one after another to rein in their subordinates.

"Attack the navy and rescue Lord Ember?"

"Can this kind of thing really be done?"

"Didn't the previous assault on the naval fleet just fail? What is the difference between rushing up like this and sending them to death? ”

"Shhhh

"This time it was Lord Kaido and many cadres who personally led the team, it must be different!"

"No. If you rush like this, you will definitely die! ”

Kaido's order to gather pirates to prepare for the assault on the naval fleet to rescue Ember was quickly issued through the mouths of many cadres. The pirates who heard this order had different reactions.

Some Kaido's diehards are extremely excited, shouting loudly for Kaido's "benevolence", while sharpening his knife and preparing to follow Kaido into battle.

There are also some people who have strange thoughts in their hearts, hearing that the navy has lifted the blockade, thinking that now may be the best time to break away from the Hundred Beast Pirates and leave Reedchiled Island.

There are also some pirates who were forcibly pulled into the team by Kaido, and in the face of the powerful navy, they don't want to fight hard for Kaido and Ember at all, and when they see the appearance of vitality at this moment, they have already disobeyed the call of the cadres.

At this juncture, the thoughts of the cadres are also different.

Following the first national relationship, the hero Karp, and the black-wristed Zefa, the prestige of these navies on this sea can be made by fighting. The cadres are also thinking differently at the moment, and the retreat of the navy has made the Hundred Beast Pirates, who were originally united to win, become people's hearts.

"Yuan Yi, will this method be useful?"

"Would a pirate like Kaido fight for our navy for a subordinate?"

On the deck of the USS Dawn, Zefa glanced sideways at the embers of Jesus tied to the cross. Then he asked towards Yuanyi.

"I don't know"

"Hopefully he'll come."

"But it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, as long as he reveals the slightest hint of wanting to save the embers."

"I think. The inferior nature of the pirates will not disappoint me! ”

Ji Guoyuan stood at the bow of the boat, leaning his back against the railing, staring at the embers who had put on the mask and were tied to the cross, and said with a smile.

The sea breeze blows, and the bright red grows up.

Hearing this, Ember's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but struggle when he looked at the navy in front of him.

It's just that the embers that are firmly bound by the chains of the Hailou Stone are impossible to break free at all.

"Can a guy like you be called a navy!?"

"Following the first fate of the country, Brother Kaido will never be fooled by you!"

Ember roared, the wound on his waist and abdomen cracked open, and the wrapped white bandage suddenly became a bright red.

"I didn't expect Kaido to be fooled in the first place."

"Actually, whether he decides to save you or not, the result is the same."

"Because no matter how he decides, the Hundred Beast Pirates will split!"

"Ember, do you think about this?"
