Chapter 338: The Man Who Landed on the Island, the Clouds Shrouded! (2-in-1)
"Roar~"
"That's great! Dressrosa! β
"I didn't expect that there would be such a place besides the territory controlled by our Whitebeard Pirates."
On the bustling streets, Marco looked at the passers-by and shouted excitedly.
His voice attracted the attention of the people around him, and some pedestrians recognized Whitebeard, and quickly lowered their heads and quickened their pace, for fear of being noticed by the people of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Hmm."
"It's an interesting place."
"Boom, Boom!"
Whitebeard smiled, looking quite happy. Their Whitebeard Pirates have traveled a lot in the New World, and it's not unheard of to see thriving towns, but there's a lot more to Dressrosa than any other place to entertain.
"I heard there's a gladiatorial arena here? Watching the warriors in battle sounds interesting, Dad, do you want to go and see it? β
Marco thought of something, stood beside Whitebeard, and asked with great interest.
"You can just go and have fun."
"My word ......"
"I'll be waiting for you there."
As he spoke, Whitebeard's head turned to a tavern on the side of the street, and Marco and the others followed Whitebeard's gaze and saw that it was actually a bar, and their faces suddenly showed an expression of "sure enough".
"Daddy, then we'll go first!" Marco was already a little stunned, and hurriedly said hello and ran out in the direction of the gladiatorial arena.
"Hey! Don't make trouble! This is not our territory! β
Thatch looked at Marco who ran away and quickly reminded him. He was older than Marko, who had already considered him his younger brother.
"Let him be, Marco is measured."
"You guys, you don't have to accompany me, an old man, if you want to play, go play."
"Golla-la-la-......" Whitebeard waved his hand at the crew, then grabbed his long knife and walked out of the tavern on the street. When everyone saw Whitebeard leaving, they immediately cheered, and ran away in all directions, leaving only the older Foil Bitas and the others.
"These guys ......" Thatch grabbed his hair and glanced at the crew as they ran away, his face helpless.
"Let's go, let's go drink."
"I don't know how the wine is here~"
Bitas patted Thatch on the shoulder, smiled and put his arm around Thatch's shoulder and walked towards the tavern, the young Blackbeard just glanced in the direction where Marco and the others left, the anticipation in his eyes flashed, and then turned around and followed Thatch and the others into the tavern.
Titch wasn't very old, he was supposed to be a fun-loving age, but unlike his peers in the Whitebeard Pirates, he didn't bask in the pleasures of what was in front of him, he had a clear goal and knew exactly what he was going to do.
As the son of Whitebeard, the most important traits that Titch shows to everyone are honesty and filial piety.

Dressrosa's Office of the Naval Base Chief.
The meeting of Ji Guoyuan and others has also come to an end, and in the office at this time, there is an extra figure on the sofa compared to a few hours ago.
Koshiro Frost Moon learned the news of Jikokuenichi's return and hurried over. When he knew that Ji Guoenichi was planning to build a new navy after completely breaking away from the navy, he immediately expressed his support.
Although the current frost moon Koshiro is living a very good life, he has a wife, and his wife also gave birth to a daughter for him, but when he feels that Jiguo Yuanyi needs help, he still chooses to stand by Jiguo Yuanyi's side.
Koshiro is not a naΓ―ve person, he knows one thing very well, as early as when he decided to follow Jikuni Yuanyi and join the navy, he has been firmly bound to Jikuni Yuanyi.
Although he did not participate in the invasion of the Holy Land, the world government has definitely marked him as a "henchman" of the successor to the country.
Under the nest, how can there be eggs?
Dressrosa has been able to maintain peace now, in large part because Jikokuenichi is still alive.
Koshiro Frost Moon has no doubt that if Jikokuenichi is killed by the World Government, the other party will definitely liquidate all the people related to Jikokuichi, which is a routine operation for the World Government.
To help Jiguo Yuanyi is to help yourself, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children!
The addition of Koshiro made this internal high-level meeting go very smoothly, and the people present were all regarded as the core team of Ji Guoyuanyi, and no one withdrew, which was also a great encouragement for Ji Guoyuanyi.
After several people's brainstorming, the establishment of the new navy was quickly perfected little by little.
In the afternoon, Ji Guoyuanyi summoned all the branches of the navy at the school, not only different navies, but even the cadets of the naval school here also participated in this rally.
At the rally, Ji Guoyuan announced his thoughts to everyone, and then handed over the multiple-choice questions to these subordinates.
Whether to continue to follow him and become a member of the new navy, or to leave and draw a line with Ji Guoyuan and others, and live his life incognito from then on.
The choice of this question was left to them by Ji Guoyuanyi.
Ji Guoyuan thought that after this meeting, a large number of the navy of the branch would choose to leave and completely cut off from them, but what people didn't expect was that when they heard that Ji Guoyuan planned to build a new navy, the people of these branches were overjoyed and showed a strong desire to join.
In fact, Ji Guoyuan forgot one thing, a large part of the members of the Sword of Dawn are from the naval school they established themselves, and a considerable number of these people are those who have been attacked by pirates and survived.
There is also a part of the navy that joined under the name of Jikoku Yuanichi.
The vast majority of the people in the Sword of Dawn are the kind of people who only know the fate of the country and don't know the headquarters of the navy.
There was no sense of belonging to the Navy Headquarters, and when they overcame their fear of the world government, it became a matter of course to join the new Navy that succeeded the country.
After the rally, all those who wanted to leave were given full "compensation" by Koku-en-ichi.
Yuan Yi knew that his compensation could not make up for the fact that they were implicated, but this was all he could do.
Subsequently, the original navy roster of the branch was burned one by one by Ji Guoyuan, and the roster of the new navy was also rewritten and registered.
Ji Guoyuan was ready to leave Dressrosa, and all the useful materials began to be loaded, and the useless ones were burned on the spot. The entire navy of the Sword of Dawn acted overnight, and all kinds of food supplies were also loaded quickly, and if they couldn't be transported, it was up to Xiong to use his own ability to send the supplies to Thor Island in advance.
Compared to combat, the role that the bear's ability can play in logistics is the greatest value of this Devil Fruit.
Night.
The members of the new navy boarded the warship one after another, and after Cyrus commanded his men to board the ship, he was about to board the ship, but at this moment, Jikokuyi's hand pressed on Cyrus's shoulder.
"Cyrus."
"Thor Island, you don't have to go there."
Hearing Jiguo Yuanyi's words, Cyrus's body shook slightly, and he quickly turned his head and looked at Jiguo Yuanyi with a look of disbelief.
"You...... Why is that? β
"Are you going to kick me out of the new navy?"
Cyrus was a little emotional.
"How could it possibly kick you out of the new navy? As long as you don't leave on your own initiative, there will always be a place for you on my side. β
"Keeping you in Dressrosa is for the sake of the bigger picture."
"Look at this naval branch, we came at that time, but it took a lot of effort to build."
"Isn't it a pity that it's just abandoned?"
"You are the son-in-law of King Liku, and you have more or less some say, and, after we leave, Dressrosa will definitely strengthen the army to defend against the invasion of pirates."
"This is a new world, if there are no strong people in charge, how can you rely on ordinary people to protect the people here?"
"There is a high probability that King Liku will hand over the defense affairs to you, and this base will be taken over by Dressrosa."
"Don't waste these facilities."
"Oh, this is my phone bug, if you need any help, whether it's resources or manpower, just tell me if you lack it."
"Here, it's up to you."
"The moment when public opinion in our new navy reverses, it is the moment we return here!"
Ji Guoyuan threw a black phone bug at Cyrus and instructed Cyrus. Listening to Ji Guoyuanyi's words, Cyrus's mood also quickly calmed down and listened carefully.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Thank you......"
After a long silence, Cyrus bowed his head slightly towards Jiguoyuan, and his body trembled slightly.
Although Jiguo Yuanyi said many, many reasons, Cyrus knew that this was Jiguo Yuanyi thinking about him.
Not long after his daughter was born, it was the time when he needed someone to take care of him, and Cyrus also knew that there were thunderbolts on the island all year round in that kind of place, and he didn't need to think about it to know that such a place could not be suitable for the growth of infants and young children.
Compared to the privileged environment of Dedressrosa, that place on Thor Island is too harsh.
"Okay, let's go back, discuss with King Liku, and take over the naval base here."
"If you encounter any difficulties or irresistible enemies, you can contact me with phone bugs, and with the help of the bear's ability, I can get here in a short time."
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan patted Cyrus on the shoulder, and then gestured to Yixiao and the others, and boarded the warship one after another.
"Won't he go with us?" Koshiro had just settled his wife and children's residence and returned to the deck, and when he saw Jikokuenichi on the ship, and Cyrus who was still standing on the shore, he couldn't help but ask.
"Cyrus's daughter, she is still too young, and Thor Island is not suitable for the growth of children."
After Guoyuanichi explained, he looked at Koshiro with a smile, patted the other party's shoulder, and said:
"Of course, your daughter is too young, and a place like Thor Island is not suitable for children to grow up."
"Although we have withdrawn from Dressrosa, there are still a lot of orphans who want to follow us."
"Thor Island is a temporary naval base after all, and I plan to settle these people on Reedchiled Island, which has developed fairly well over the years under Tiger's control."
"Now, Reedchiled Island has begun to take on the form of a town."
"A large part of the slaves rescued from the Draconians are also placed there, and they will be a thorn in the side of the Draconians in the future, and it will also be our rear."
"Koshiro, you and your family will live there in the future, and I need you to help me build a new naval school."
"Students, priority is given to recruiting from the main island of Ridcheled!"
Koshiro listened carefully to Jiguo Yuanyi's words, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Good!"
By the moonlight, the new navy that succeeded the country left silently.
When the people of Dressrosa realized that the Whitebeard Pirates were very "regular", the fear of the Whitebeard Pirates dissipated.
Three days after the departure of the new navy, some people, led by well-intentioned people, gathered outside the gate of the naval base and shouted the slogan of "opposition."
But when the gates of the base opened, it was Dressrosa's own army that walked out of it.
Cyrus had shed his naval uniform in favor of a pair of light armor with local characteristics, and his bright red cloak caught the attention of the populace.
"As soon as the new navy was established, he and his men had already left just a few days ago."
"From now on, this base will be taken over by the Kingdom Army."
"I, Cyrus, am the captain of the kingdom's army!"
"If you don't have anything else to do, let's all disperse!"
Cyrus intervened to drive away the people gathered in front of the base, and the news of Jiguoyuan's departure from Dressrosa also spread.
The Whitebeard Pirates also received the news that Ji Guoyuan had left Dressrosa, and the crew were also surprised to hear that Ji Guoyuan had simply abandoned the naval base that had been operating here for many years.
In front of the bar of the tavern, Whitebeard was chatting with the tavern owner in the bar while drinking, and when he heard his sons discussing this matter, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he said to himself with a smile:
"He's really a proud guy."
"Gollah-la-"
As he spoke, Whitebeard grabbed Cong Yunche at hand, stood up, and thanked the boss: "Your wine is delicious!" β
"Thank you for your hospitality too, it's time for us to leave."
Whitebeard beckoned to Thatch, who was not far away, and then walked out of the tavern first, and when Thatch saw his father's gesture, he took a money bag from his pocket and walked to the bar.
The boss saw that the other party was going to settle the bill, so he shook his head with a smile and said.
"Today's wine money, forget it."
"Count me as a practice for you Whitebeard Pirates."
The owner of the tavern was very angry, and in this regard, Whitebeard, who had just walked to the door of the tavern, stood still, slowly turned his head, and said with a smile:
"What stupid thing to say?!"
"We're whitebeard pirates, eat things like white food, lose your share!"
With that, Whitebeard ignored the tavern owner and pushed open the cowboy door and walked out.
Thatch also took out a stack of Bailey from his wallet, threw it on the table, and said, "Daddy likes you here, na, this is the money, the extra part, in exchange for the achievement, sent to our ship." β
Thatch said, keeping up with Whitebeard.
The tavern owner looked at the stack of Bailey on the table, scratched his hair with some distress, and muttered to himself, "How can there be so much wine!" You've almost drunk it all! β
"I'll have to tune it from somewhere else."
March 1508 in the lunar calendar.
Almost three months after the new navy and the Whitebeard Pirates left Dressrosa one after another, a large ship with a flamingo-shaped hull docked at the harbor.
The busy people around were a little curious about this strange shape of the big ship, so they stopped what they were doing and looked towards this big ship that they had never seen before.
Soon, a long wooden ladder was lowered from the boat, and a young man wearing a flowered shirt and phoenix-eyed sunglasses followed the wooden ladder to the shore with steps that his six relatives did not recognize.
Behind him, followed by a tall, emaciated young man with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Fur-fur-"
"Dressrosa is such a great place!"
"I didn't expect that my generation would have the opportunity to set foot on this land."
"Isn't that fate? Now, do you say yes? Corazon! β
