Chapter 242: Strategy, Take a Step Back, Fall Apart! (2-in-1)

On Ridchiled Island, the war between the Navy and the Beast Pirates reached a stalemate. On the afternoon when the Navy occupied the port of Ridchiled Island, the Navy and the pirates reached a wonderful tacit understanding, and neither took any initiative against the other. Trouble.

The island fell into a strange harmony.

A group of warships that were originally docked right in front of the island also dispersed one after another on this day. Some warships were dispatched to the east, north and south of Ridchiled Island, and the entire island was moved from three directions. Surrounded.

Except for the east side, where Ji Kuni Enichi, Garp and other naval forces landed, there are shoals in the other three directions. If there are ships, you can escape smoothly.

The only west side that is not blocked by the navy is a sea cliff tens of meters high. Although this height is nothing to some powerful pirates, there is usually no sea on that sea cliff. The pirate ship docked. The pirates wanted to escape from the island across the vast sea. It was impossible without a ship.

But even though they said that, the pirates were quite happy when they realized that there was still a gap on the island that was not blocked by the navy.

In the senses of the pirates, the navy did not "do things perfectly".

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

At the same time, Jiguoyuanyi also asked Cyrus to go to Zefa's ship. While helping Zefa, he also hoped that Cyrus could learn something from Zefa.

To the south, Jiguo Enichi was handed over to the commander Bogart, and he was asked to lead a part of the warships to blockade the coast. Bogart is Garp's adjutant. Although his military rank cannot be compared with the generals who accompany the team, he is better because of his qualifications, and his words represent Garp to a certain extent.

And assisting him was Mihawk.

Ji Guoyuan didn't know if his memory was confused. He always thought that as Garp's adjutant, Bogart's strength should be very strong, but in fact, Bogart's personal strength did not reach Yuan's level. To the extent that one can imagine.

If we had to make a comparison, Bogart's ability was only at the level of an ordinary major general.

I don’t know if he can make big progress in the future, but at least for now, Bogart simply can’t afford the responsibility of blocking the coast.

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

Over the years, Mihawk has been making progress. On the road of swordsmanship, Mihawk has never stopped.

Jikunoyuan was very confident about Mihawk's strength. Even if Kaido, the captain of the Beast Pirates, took action himself, it would be impossible for him to defeat Mihawk in a short period of time. If the opponent were to fight Mihawk on land, It's not even necessarily Mihawk's opponent.

With Mihawk's help, even if Nanfang was attacked by pirates, he would be able to support Jiguoyuan and the others to come back for reinforcements.

After making these arrangements, Ji Guoyuan began to concentrate on thinking about ways to deal with the Beast Pirates.

The best-case scenario is that the Beasts Pirates would be reluctant to give up when faced with Enichi Tsukuni's strategy of surrounding three and missing one, and start running away.

That sea cliff can block the vast majority of ordinary pirates, and it is expected that the pirates will not have many spare ships. Those who can escape are definitely a powerful minority.

Most people can't escape.

As long as the officers of the Beast Pirates escape, Tsukuni Enichi is sure to be able to control the situation on the battlefield with his overlord-colored Haki in an instant.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation.

If the Beast Pirates are determined to bind the people and confront the navy, then the navy will be in big trouble. It is very likely that this time the liquidation plan will be completely declared bankrupt, and at the same time, it will also alert the snake. It will become even more difficult to clean up the Beasts Pirates later.

In the evening, the dark red and golden sunlight in the sky merged together, printing and dyeing the sea surface.

The sea breeze blew by, and the sparkling sea surface rose and fell with many warships on the sea.

Jiguoyuan stood on a roof, frowning slightly, looking at the castle in the center of the island. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched Jiguoyuan's figure.

His eyes were full of worry and depth.

no way.

After thinking about it all afternoon, Ji Guoyuan couldn't find a perfect solution to the current predicament. He was not sure that he could clean up the pirates on the island while protecting ordinary people.

Not to mention the fate of the country, even an ancient civilization with a thousand-year culture has no good way to face the situation of "leading the people to attack the city" in history.

The final result is either to kill the people who were coerced, or to be soft-hearted and the enemy breaks through the city.

Although the situation Ji Guoyuan is currently facing is different, the core of the problem is the same.

Kill the enemy or protect the people, you can only choose one.

Best of both worlds?

Where can there be such a good thing in this world?

"Yuanyi, what are you going to do?"

"I've been thinking about it all afternoon. Have you made a decision?"

Just when Jiguo Enichi was looking at the castle in the distance, Garp jumped up to the roof, looked at the frowning Jiguo Enichi, and asked in a deep voice.

"Decision?"

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

Ji Guoyuan pondered for a long time, sighed softly, and asked Garp beside him. After living for so long in several lifetimes, he really ran out of ideas when faced with such a situation.

It would be great if Kaido could be more reckless! Just let the Beast Pirates and the Navy fight head-on, and things will be settled easily!

After all, Yuanyi's impression of Kaido's character was somewhat lost. He originally thought that Kaido was a reckless man who was not afraid of anything.

But Kaido, who was able to steal Wano and still manage it carefully for so many years, and secretly developed Ming Ge as a downline to expand his strength, is really not a fool.

Kaido knows what kind of people can be beaten and what kind of people cannot be beaten.

Facing the navy led by Ji Kuni Enichi, Garp and Zefa, Kaido was very careful in every move he made except for letting Jhin test Zefa's strength.

The reason why Jhin was caught by the navy was only because Kaido did not expect that Jiguoyuan would suddenly appear and then kill Jhin instantly with a knife.

Encountering this situation, Kaido also had troubles that he couldn't express.

"What will I do?"

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

Garp smiled upon hearing this, seemingly not worried about the current situation at all.

When Yuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but look back and glanced helplessly at Garp. Garp walked to Yuanyi's side, looked along Yuanyi's line of sight, and said:

"If it were me, I would choose to retreat."

"Yuanyi."

Karp's words made Jiguoyuan stunned.

retreat? This option has never appeared in Yuanyi's mind. The Navy had finally assembled such a powerful force, and the top brass of the Navy also fully supported the elimination of the Beast Pirates.

In Yuanyi's opinion, this is an excellent opportunity. Retreat? What a joke.

Seeing Yuanyi's slightly surprised expression, Garp couldn't help but laugh and said with sincerity:

"Yuanyi, from the time you became a marine until now, you seem to have never failed, right?"

"From the time you grow up, no matter what kind of pirate you are, you can't escape your sword."

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

"Because you just need to defeat your current opponent."

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

"Are we facing a pirate group? No, we are facing a pirate country!"

"A land of pirates where people and pirates mingle."

Garp changed his usual unreliable image and said in a serious tone.

"The land of pirates?"

This was the first time Yuanyi heard this word, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Yes, the land of pirates!"

"Ridder Island."

"I have noticed since I arrived on the island that the people and pirates on this island have become inseparable."

"When I first landed on the island, the surrounding houses were already deserted."

"The pirates have been prepared, and these people have been evacuated by the pirates long ago."

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

"No, pirates like the Beasts Pirates, who have a clear structure and want to 'dominate' this country, are the most difficult to deal with."

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

After Garp finished speaking, he turned around, jumped slightly, and landed on the ground.

"It's almost time to eat. No matter what you can do now, you should eat first."

Garp shouted loudly towards Ji Guoyuan, and then walked away.

Thinking about what Garp said, Jiguo Enichi's mind gradually became clearer.

Talk about it.

Who is the toughest enemy Wang Lufei has ever faced? Is it Yonko Kaido? Or Auntie Yonko?

In fact, it is neither.

Instead, Doflamingo sealed off the entire Dressrosa with a birdcage. Doflamingo's madness is more terrifying than Kaido and Big Mom. You simply can't imagine what the people of Dressrosa will face if Wang Lufei fails.

Kaido, whom Tsukuni Enichi is now facing, still has reason. The current Ridchiled Island is, at best, Tazhai Village plus.

"Are you giving up? Now, there is actually one last way. Isn't it?"

Under the setting sun, Ji Guoyuan looked at the castle in the center of the island and made a decision in his heart.

On the coast, the navy began to light fires for cooking, and the smoke was curling up, making the battlefield that had previously experienced artillery fire become full of life.

But it's just the last calm before the storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Captain Kaido!"

"Lord Kaido! 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 sofa the moment he heard the noise outside the door, and tightened his grip on the mace in his hand.

After looking around, he didn't see anything strange, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the noise outside, Kaido opened the door impatiently.

"What are you calling for? What happened?"

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

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

"Lord Kaido, it's not good!"

"The Navy plans to execute Lord Jhin!"

"Public execution, the Navy plans to publicly execute Jhin at sea!"

Hearing this, Kaido's "getting up" mood immediately disappeared, his pupils glared, and he rushed to the window and looked through the telescope in the room towards the east coast where the navy was stationed.

At this time, the battlefield on the beach had been cleared, and the countless speedboats on the coast had disappeared without a trace.

The marines who originally occupied the residential buildings next to the beach had disappeared without a trace.

The navy retreated!

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

"Where's the navy? Where are those damn navy!"

"Where did you get the news that the navy was going to execute Jin?"

"Ah?! Talk!"

"Impossible, how could the Navy execute Jhin? They are simply unwilling to do so!"

"Jin Ke"

At the end, Kaido seemed to be aware of his gaffe, rushed to the door, grabbed the collar of the pirate who had just reported, and asked:

"Where did this news come from?"

The pirate who was grabbed by Kaido's collar hurriedly replied: "The navy 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 that the Navy plans to execute Lord Jin in three days is being played on a loop."

"Lord Kaido, look at the bow of the largest warship in the fleet. Lord Jhin is still tied up by the navy. An execution platform has been set up over there!"

Upon hearing the news, Kaido felt as if he was struck by lightning and froze in place. But soon, Kaido came back to his senses, snorted slightly, and said with a cold face to the cadres in front of him:

"I will never let Jhin die!"

"Notify everyone and prepare ships. I will personally rescue Jhin!"

As he spoke, Kaido's overlord-colored domineering energy directly escaped. The window of the room was directly shattered by this terrifying overlord-colored domineering energy. The mace in Kaido's hand hit the wall hard, leaving a mark on the wall immediately. Down a big hole.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Kaido, the officers of the Beast Pirates left one after another to restrain their subordinates.

"Attack the navy and rescue Lord Jhin?"

"Is this kind of thing really possible?"

"Didn't the previous attack on the naval fleet just fail? What's the difference between rushing up like this and dying?"

"Hush - don't let Lord Kaido hear what you said, or you will die!"

"This time Kai Da and many cadres personally lead the team, it will be different!"

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

Kaido's order to gather pirates to attack the naval fleet to rescue Jhin was quickly issued through the mouths of many cadres. The pirates who heard this order had different reactions.

Some die-hard Kaido fans were extremely excited, applauding loudly for Kaido's "benevolence", and at the same time sharpening their swords and preparing to follow Kaido into the battle.

Some people also had strange thoughts in their hearts. When they heard that the navy had lifted the blockade, they thought that now might be the best time to break away from the Beast Pirates and leave Ridchiled Island.

There are also some pirates who were forcibly pulled into the team by Kaido. Facing the powerful navy, they don't want to fight for Kaido and Jhin. Now that they see the opportunity, they no longer obey the recruitment of the cadres. .

At this juncture, the cadres also had different thoughts.

Following Guoyuanyi, Hero Garp, and Black-Wanded Zefa, these navies gained their prestige on this sea through fighting. The officers also had different thoughts at the moment. The retreat of the navy actually made the Beasts Pirates, who were originally united to win, become more popular.

"Yuanyi, will this method work?"

"Would a pirate like Kaido risk his life against our navy for a subordinate?"

On the deck of the Dawn warship, Zefa turned his head and glanced at Jesus Jin who was tied to the cross. Then he asked Yuanyi.

"have no idea"

"Hopefully he will come."

"But it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, as long as he shows some signs of wanting to save Jin."

"I think the bad nature of the pirates will not let me down!"

Ji Guoyuan stood at the bow of the ship, leaning his back against the railing, looking at Jin who had put on his mask again and was tied to the cross, and said with a smile.

The sea breeze blew, and the long bright red hair flew up.

Jhin's body trembled slightly after hearing this. Looking at the navy in front of him, he couldn't help but struggle.

However, it was impossible for Jin, who was firmly bound by the sea tower stone chains, to break free.

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

"Jigoku Enichi, there is absolutely no way Brother Kaido will fall for your trick!"

Jhin roared, the wound on his waist and abdomen collapsed, and the wrapped white bandage suddenly showed a bright red mark.

"I never expected Kaido to be fooled from the beginning."

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

"Because no matter what decision he makes, the Beast Pirates will split!"

"Jin, do you understand this?"
