A piece of information has reached the naval branch of the Kingdom of Solbey.

Early the next morning, the sharp whistle resounded throughout the North Harbor of the Solbe Kingdom, and the warship Dawn, which had been docked in the port for a long time, slowly sailed out of the dock of the military port by taking advantage of the early morning sun.

At the bow of the Dawn warship, Ji Guoyuan held the railing with one hand, and the other hand was hanging on the hilt of the knife at his waist, looking at the wide sea, his eyes were deep.

"Finally there's news."

"If you get that thing, the delicate balance between it and the world government should be broken!"

Ji Guoyuan looked at the sea, and his heart was full of thoughts.

After entering the South China Sea, on the surface, Ji Guoyuan Yi has been operating the construction of the South China Sea Branch, but in fact, Ji Guoyuan Yi has spent a lot of money to build his own intelligence network.

At that time, the Navy Headquarters cut off the material support for the Sword of Dawn, and also cut off the support for intelligence.

Jiguo Yuanyi, who left the New World and entered the South China Sea, without the support of the intelligence of the headquarters, is like a blind man who cannot see the whole picture of the South China Sea at all.

In order to be able to grasp all kinds of information at the first time, Ji Guoyuan will make great efforts to establish an intelligence network.

In fact, the scattered intelligence network of Jiguo Yuanyi did not dig up any further information about the revolutionary army, but simply monitored the "resistance movement" in various parts of the South China Sea.

Those "resistance movements" are internal contradictions of the country, and Ji Guoyuan has no intention of interfering. Moreover, in his opinion, the way the revolutionary army is acting today also has some merits, at the very least, their appearance can awaken some people who are not completely numb.

Ji Guoyuanichi did not devote himself to the revolutionary army, and the intelligence officers under him were more collecting information about various devil fruits.

No matter what kind of Devil Fruit it is, it is all needed to succeed the country Yuanyi.

I have to say that the Devil Fruit is not very useful to Ji Guoyuan himself, but the Devil Fruit is very useful to the navy under him.

Not everyone is Jiguo, not everyone is Mihawk.

There are many geniuses in this world, but there are very few geniuses who can truly grow into top powerhouses.

The existence of the Devil Fruit can break the shackles of human talent, so that those geniuses who should not be the top powerhouses can also enter the ranks of the strong and become an indispensable help in the hands of Ji Guoyuan.

In the face of the world government, Ji Guoyuan did not think about relying on his own ability to change anything, he needed partners, and he needed many strong partners with common dreams.

The work of collecting Devil Fruits is also underway in several Sword of Dawn branches in the New World, but for a long time, the results have not been satisfactory.

On the one hand, because of the harsh maritime environment in the New World, the navy's inconvenient operations, and on the other hand, there are many powerful pirates in the New World, and often after the navy gets the relevant information to attack, those devil fruits have long fallen into other people's pockets and do not know where to go.

Compared to the New World, there are a lot of Devil Fruits left in the four seas, and the sea environment is relatively gentle, and the navy's intelligence flow is faster, so it will be more advantageous to compete for Devil Fruits.

The pirates of the four seas are short-sighted, and they don't have a Devil Fruit Illustrated Book to distinguish the abilities and attributes of the Devil Fruit in their hands.

For most of the pirates in the four seas, instead of eating the Devil Fruit, betting on this fruit ability is a powerful ability, it is better to put it on the auction floor and earn him hundreds of millions of Baileys.

Eating the powerful Devil Fruit is to better grab the treasure and live a luxurious life, now directly skip the intermediate process, and directly sell the Devil Fruit you get, and immediately be able to live a luxurious life, how to choose, it is obvious.

For the vast majority of pirates, the purpose of going to sea is really not how lofty ideals and ambitions they have in their hearts.

More pirates are actually like Chloe, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates who tried to steal Kya's property, just thinking about making a fortune and living a prosperous life.

can be a rich second generation, who wants to fight and kill, after all, not everyone is Azu, isn't it?

Since Guoyuanyi entered the South China Sea, he has been collecting information on Devil Fruits, and his personnel have also infiltrated other seas, and just yesterday, Jiguoyuanichi's intelligence network finally brought back a useful message to himself.

In the Tokai Sea, there is information about the sighting of Superhuman Rubber Fruit.

Ji Guoyuan didn't expect that the intelligence network he established would give such a big surprise when it first manifested its role.

The original appearance of the rubber fruit is the Nika fruit.

The sun god - Nika.

Ji Guoyuanyi's purpose in pursuing this fruit is not to eat it himself, he just wants to see with his own eyes whether there is really some kind of will in the Nika fruit, which can automatically evade the recovery of the world government!

"Is it worth our visit?"

"Something like that, just let Ferland go there, right?"

"He has mastered 4 of the six naval styles, in a place like the East China Sea, with his ability, it shouldn't be a problem to recover a superhuman Devil Fruit, right?"

Ji Guo Yuanyi looked at the sea a little distracted, and at this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind Yuanyi, Mihawk walked to the bow of the boat, sat down on the bench next to the side of the ship, looked up at Yuanyi slightly, and asked out loud.

"Ferrand has indeed made great progress over the years, but he may not be able to handle this matter."

"It's not just me, it's the world government that's in action."

Ji Guoyuan shook his head lightly and said.

Hearing this, Mihawk's eyelids raised, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes: "World government? ”

"That rubber fruit. Any questions?"

Mihawk doesn't like to think too much about messy things, but that doesn't mean he's not smart, Mihawk's acuity, sometimes Yuan Yi has to admire.

"Well, that's a big problem."

"That Devil Fruit, the original name, was called Nika Fruit."

When Ji Guoyuanyi's words fell, not far from the bow of the boat, Abel stood quietly with shackles and a black mask, and his body was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Ji Guoyuanyi. And beside him, Bartholomy Bear, who was wearing a brown cloak and a holy robe, was also slightly dumbfounded, and his face was full of consternation.

"Nika?"

The bear's mouth couldn't help but let out a low murmur, and his eyes showed a look of remembrance. Those memories buried in the deepest part of his heart immediately poured out the moment he heard the name. The time he spent in the Holy Land of Marin Joya was the last time he wanted to remember, but it was also the only time he spent with his parents.

And Abel's state is similar to that of the bear, and his mind is also flooding with memories, and the scene of fleeing with his relatives when he was young slowly emerges in front of his eyes.

"General Jiguo!"

"You're going to snatch that rubber. No, snatch that Nika fruit?! ”

Xiong quickly came back to his senses, quickly came behind Jiguo Yuanyi, looked at Yuanyi emotionally, and asked. At this time, Abel also looked at Jiguo Yuanyi with a look of hope.

If

If it is the Jiguo Yuan in front of him who eats the Nika fruit, then the joy of the liberation of the world, is it

If it's the first one of the succession countries

Without waiting for Ji Guoyuan to speak, Xiong was immediately shocked, punched himself in the chest, and continued towards Ji Guoyuan:

"General Jiguo! If your goal is to snatch the Nika fruit, I'll help you get it no matter what! ”

When Xiong said this, Abel had also come behind Ji Guo Yuanyi, his fists clenched, although he didn't speak, but under the black mask, a pair of bright eyes stared at Ji Guo Yuanyi, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Sitting on the sidelines, Mihawk crossed Erlang's legs, raised his eyes to look at the somewhat gaffed bear and Abel, and then shook his head.

These two people still don't know enough about Jiguo Yuanyi!

"The purpose is to snatch the Nika fruit, yes."

"But it's just a try, you don't need such a big reaction."

"Isn't there a legend about Devil Fruits that has always been circulating on this sea?"

"Legend has it that the Devil Fruit chooses its own owner."

"If this is true, then it is unknown whether we will be able to get the rubber fruit."

Ji Guoyuanyi's mentality was very calm, and when he heard his words, Xiong and Abel also calmed down a little.

Following the legend of Guoyuan, they have also heard that of course the materialist warriors do not believe it, but Xiong and Abel are both people of faith, and they have always believed that one day the liberation fighter Joey Boy will come to liberate the world.

Therefore, both of them believe in these things that are fleeting.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven."

"Calm down."

"Whether I get the Nika fruit or not, what I want to do will never change!"

"What?"

"The USS Dawn is about to enter the windless zone?"

Headquarters of the Navy.

After the warship of Jikokuenichi left the Kingdom of Solbe, it was on this day that the Admiral Sengoku finally got specific information about Jikokuenichi's movements.

Originally, when Ji Guoyuan Yi left the Solbe Kingdom, the Warring States had not taken it to heart, after all, for more than a year, Ji Guo Yuan Yi often went to sea. However, before Ji Guoyuanyi left the Solbe Kingdom, he was still in the South China Sea, but this time, Ji Guoyuan Yi was actually preparing to leave the South China Sea.

Knowing the news, Sengoku couldn't sit still, and immediately called Ji Guoyuan to inquire.

But the reply he got was

"When I go to the East China Sea to relax, I should take a vacation for myself."

"Don't worry, I won't show mercy to the pirates I encounter on the way."

Regarding Jiguo Yuanyi's reply, Sengoku had no other way but to be angry, he only begged Jiguo Yuanyi to go out this time, and not to make any big things happen.

A sea area in the East China Sea.

The bright moon hung high, and the bright stars gathered into a river of stars, covering the entire night sky.

On the surface of the sea, the water waves ripple gently, and the starlight and moonlight are reflected on the sea, making the sea surface at night still bright. A huge warship stopped on the calm sea, and the red hull looked a little dark in the moonlight.

At this time, in the center of the deck of the warship, a huge round table was placed, on which was placed sumptuous food, fragrant wine was poured into the barrel cups in front of everyone, and everyone's eyes were focused on the young man sitting on the main seat at this time.

It was a young man in his early twenties, wearing an unfashionable straw hat on his head, and under the straw hat, red bangs obscured the corners of the man's eyes.

On the lap of the young man in the straw hat, at this moment sat a little girl, about three years old, with a cute bob, and it was surprising that this girl's hair was half pink and half white, which was different.

At this time, the little girl was held in the arms of the young man in the straw hat, and looked at the small cake placed in front of the table with some greed, and there were three small candles on the cake.

"Boss!"

"Let's get started!"

"You see, Uta can't wait!"

During the banquet, a fat man wearing a green striped short shirt shouted loudly, and as his voice fell, the other people in the banquet also heard urging voices one after another.

"Hahahaha!"

"Let's get started!"

"Uta, come, tell everyone, how old is Ling this year?"

The young man in the straw hat said, gently picked up the girl on his lap, and asked softly.

The girl who was held in her arms smiled and stretched out two fingers and said glutinously: "Three years old!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the banquet.

Beside the red-haired young man, Ben Beckman, who had a big back, held his forehead and said to the straw hat youth: "Shanks, your education is not very good! ”

"Is this three?"

As he spoke, Ben Beckman gave Shanks a "yes", the corners of his mouth hooked, and his face was full of smiles.

Shanks couldn't help but grin when he saw his daughter's gesture, and after hearing Beckman's ridicule, Shanks helped Uta raise a finger and corrected.

"Uta, it's three."

"Three years old!"

The young Uta didn't know what the crew was laughing at, seeing that the big guy was happy, her little face also showed a bright smile, and after Shanks corrected it, Uta also grabbed his fingers, broke out three again, and said crisply to everyone:

"Three years old!"

The crew members immediately cheered when they saw Uta comprehending what Shanks meant.

And Shanks also smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, picked up the wine glass, and shouted at everyone:

"Cheers to Uta in celebration of his third birthday!!"

Shanks's voice fell, and the crew members raised their glasses and cheered, and Uta, who was held in Shanks's arms, also stretched out a finger, gently wiped it on the cake, and put it in his mouth with the cream, with an intoxicated smile on his face.

The group of people who are having a birthday party under the stars are the red-haired pirates.

Nowadays, the red-haired pirates are not well-known, and Captain Shanks is now just a little pirate with a bounty of 30 million Bailey.

However, in a place like the East China Sea, this kind of pirate with a bounty can also be called "rare".

Ever since One Piece Roger was executed in Rogue Town, Shanks has formed his own group of pirates, found his own companions, and embarked on his own adventures.

Over the years, he has been active in the East China Sea, and although he bears the name of a pirate, what he does has not attracted too much attention from the navy.

So until now, there has only been a bounty of 30 million Baileys.

Uta wasn't Shanks' own daughter, she was picked up by the red-haired pirates after defeating a group of pirates, and when she found it, Uta was placed in a blood-stained chest, along with gold and silver jewelry.

Now, 3 years have passed since Uta was picked up by the red-haired pirates.

On the pirate ship, the crew of the red-haired pirates pushed cups and changed glasses, happily drinking wine and eating meat.

More than an hour later, Shanks, who was swaying from side to side by his subordinates, took the already somewhat drowsy little Uta back to the cabin,

And the birthday party on the deck lasted until late at night, and then it ended.

The crew who had drunk too much fell asleep directly on the deck, and even Beckman, leaning against the railing, fell asleep.

"Boss!!"

"Captain!!"

"Something's wrong! Something is wrong! ”

The next morning, a violent knock on the door woke up Shanks, who slowly got up from the bed, and Shanks glanced at the small bed not far away, and saw that his daughter was sleeping soundly, yawned, stepped on his slippers and went to the door and opened the door.

"Succession."

"I've come to the East China Sea after the fate of the country!"

As soon as Shanks opened the door, Jesus Bu shoved a newspaper into Shanks's arms. Hearing the familiar name, Shanks also suddenly sobered up, and glanced down at the newspaper.

The front page of the newspaper was the news that the warship of the successor to the country had entered the windless zone.

Through "grapevine", the media speculated that the purpose of Jiguoyuanyi was the East China Sea.
