Chapter 632 The Deceased! (Two in One)

"Judicial Island"

Judicial Island is located in the first half of the Grand Line. The island is built on a sea cavity. Due to its sudden change in the special sea environment, Long recognized this island at a glance after getting the sea map.

Judicial Island is very famous in the world. Its existence not only symbolizes the supreme power of the World Government, but also the underwater prison that holds the world's most vicious criminals is behind the Gate of Justice on Judicial Island.

Judicial Island symbolizes the absolute authority of the World Government, and its importance can even be compared with that of the Navy Headquarters, Marinford.

"How do you plan to let our Revolutionary Army prove our ability and value?!"

Long actually had a bad guess in his heart at this time, but before getting the personal confirmation of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, he still patiently asked such a question without making a conclusion on his own.

At such a formal negotiation table, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was still wrapped in a black robe, and the hood on his head had not been removed. Although the captains of the Revolutionary Army who were sitting face to face could see Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's appearance, they had no way to confirm Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's identity.

Although they were curious, the New Navy did not formally introduce Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's identity, and Long did not ask about it, as if they had tacitly acknowledged the identity and qualifications of the black-robed man, so the captains did not say much.

When Long asked such a question, everyone on the Revolutionary Army side focused their attention on Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, waiting for him to give an answer.

"The way to prove it is very simple, let your Revolutionary Army take action and destroy the Judicial Island!"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Long.

His premonition came true, and Long couldn't help but frowned and thought about the pros and cons.

Destroy Judicial Island. Whether it is for their Revolutionary Army or for Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and their new navy, it is actually hard to say what actual benefits the destruction of a place like Judicial Island can bring to their forces.

The naval garrison on Judicial Island is very strong, and behind the Gate of Justice is the Undersea Prison. If Judicial Island is attacked, the garrison of the Undersea Prison can go up to support it in the first time.

Although there are no top-level strongmen from the Navy Headquarters on Judicial Island, it will still cost a huge price for the Revolutionary Army to destroy Judicial Island.

However, administrative islands like Judicial Island have nothing valuable at all, materials? Population? Minerals? There is nothing to be found in a place with nothing, so it is meaningless to capture or destroy it.

Perhaps this method can be used to strike the prestige of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. From this perspective, the political significance is greater than the practical significance.

However, at the current stage of development of their Revolutionary Army, it is actually useless to have such a "political goal".

Because the background of their Revolutionary Army is ordinary people who have been oppressed by domestic nobles. These people oppose the nobles who oppress them. After completing the domestic reforms, only a small number of people will join the ranks of resisting the World Government.

Oppose the nobles but do not resist the rule of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.

It seems to be two very contradictory things, but in fact, such a situation is extremely common.

The Celestial Dragons have ruled the world for eight hundred years, and many things have long been engraved in the minds of the people.

The new navy can expand rapidly because their background is actually "navy", the driving force is something called "justice", and they are in the new world where the world government has little influence.

The Revolutionary Army is rooted in the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, which happens to be the area most affected by the world government. It is not easy for them to expand their team.

Long's vision for the future development of his Revolutionary Army is only to liberate some oppressed people. He himself still recognizes the administrative system of the World Government. He believes that as long as the cancer of the Celestial Dragons is removed, the world will be able to turn to harmony.

It is with this idea that Long was so angry when he learned that Sabo killed King Cobra in the Holy Land, because in his mind Cobra was a "wise king" and was not among the conquests of their Revolutionary Army.

In contrast, those lower-class people heard that the king of a member country of the World Government was killed and gave Sabo the title of "Emperor Yan". For ordinary people, it doesn't matter whether the dead Cobra was a wise ruler or not, but it is important that the king died.

Because they are deeply oppressed by the "kings".

With the development of the Revolutionary Army, the thoughts of the leader Long will inevitably be separated from the collective thoughts of his team.

If Long does not make changes at that time, this team will collapse.

However, this is all in the future. Now, it is unknown whether there will be a "Feng Di" in the ranks of the Revolutionary Army.

Tsugikoku Yoriichi wants Long and others to attack the Judicial Island just to push the Revolutionary Army to the front line and attract the attention of the World Government.

Admittedly, the development of the Revolutionary Army in recent years can be regarded as rapid. With their help, many member countries have set off a wave of resistance.

But in Tsugikoku Yoriichi's view, Long's efforts may not really be seen by the World Government.

Because the interests of the member countries have always been damaged, the interests of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government have not been substantially damaged.

For the Celestial Dragons, one more or one less member country is nothing more than the difference between one more choice and one less choice when choosing a place for the "slave hunting" activity.

In the past, one more country paying Tianshangjin or one less country paying Tianshangjin would not affect the lives of the Celestial Dragons at all.

In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, the new navy under the leadership of Tsugakuin Yoriichi was much more terrifying, because they really attacked the Celestial Dragons and would kill them in the Holy Land!

When the new navy really had the ability to threaten the Holy Land, both the World Government and the Navy Headquarters became cautious when dealing with matters related to the new navy.

Yoriichi needed a revolutionary army that could really attract the attention of the World Government. Letting the revolutionary army attack the Judicial Island was actually a disguised way of tying Long and others to his chariot.

Long could naturally understand Tsugakuin Yoriichi's considerations in this regard.

His ideas were similar to Tsugakuin Yoriichi in some ways, but there were many ideas to the left. In his opinion, Tsugakuin Yoriichi sometimes acted more decisively than him.

Just like now, Long doesn't want to oppose the World Government so blatantly.

Although everyone knows what the Revolutionary Army does, and although Long has long been a major criminal on the Navy's wanted list, even so, Long still has expectations for the World Government.

"We can't do this kind of thing."

After thinking for a long time, Long shook his head, sighed, and decisively rejected Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's request.

Their Revolutionary Army has their own path to go, and will not act according to Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's will.

After the voice fell, the other army commanders in the conference room also looked at each other, a little surprised, but after a little thought, they could immediately understand Long's decision.

"Can't do it, or don't want to do it?"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi obviously didn't want to give up, and asked.

"I don't want to do it, and I can't do it at the same time."

"We will suffer heavy losses regardless of success or failure if we attack Judicial Island."

"We still have many more important things to do, and there are still many people who are still living in dire straits and need us to rescue them."

"I can't waste precious time and combat power on such things."

When Long gave the answer, he obviously thought about how to reply, and the other army captains nodded in agreement.

As for the New Navy, Mihawk and his men did not show any surprise on their faces. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also nodded, then lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.

As they expected, the Revolutionary Army would not burn its boats.

Of course, the New Navy would not stop cooperating with the other party just because the Revolutionary Army did not attack Judicial Island. The cooperation would continue, but the support and binding relationship between the New Navy and the Revolutionary Army would not be so deep. However, in the following negotiations, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi stopped talking, and the person in charge of leading the negotiations on the New Navy side was Mason.

Long actually understood that when he refused Jiguo Yuichi's request and Yuichi no longer participated in the negotiations, their cooperation with the new navy would not be too in-depth.

The results of the subsequent negotiations also confirmed Long's conjecture.

The new navy only agreed to sell them food and arms, but even so, it was a good thing for the revolutionary army that was completely blocked.

And the price given by the new navy was also very good, much cheaper than private bulk purchases on the black market.

This is also one of the unique abilities of the new navy. Xiong is now stationed at the headquarters of the World. Some military transportation work does not actually require ships. Xiong only needs to use his meat ball fruit to easily transport things to the destination.

Without the cost of the navy, the price will naturally come down.

And this does not take Xiong much effort. After breakfast every day, he will slap his palm like a morning exercise. It won't take long to deliver all the goods at a dock.

The speed of packing and loading by manual workers is not as fast as the speed of Xiong delivering goods out of the port. Often hundreds of people pack for two or three days, which is enough for Xiong to do a few minutes of "morning exercise".

The bear's meatball fruit is also one of the important supports for the rapid development of the new navy and the actual control of the subordinate islands.

At night.

The Revolutionary Army arranged accommodation for the new navy at the headquarters.

After dinner, Jiguo Yuanyi also returned to his residence early to rest.

However, a knock on the door broke the quiet night.

Yuanyi stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Long holding a teapot in one hand and some snacks in the other.

"Haven't you rested yet? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat?"

Long raised his hand, showed what he was holding, and asked.

Yuanyi didn't know the other party's intention, and moved aside to make way:

"It seems that you, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, are not very busy."

"Do you still have time to drink tea?"

Jiguo Yuanyi led Long into the room and sat down at the table.

The room prepared by the Revolutionary Army for them was very large. In addition to the bed and desk, there was also a small wooden table in the room, which was also a place to eat and drink tea.

"Today is actually the old man's birthday."

"I can't go back to see him, so I usually drink tea by myself and celebrate his birthday in this way."

"I used to think that on the day when the revolutionary army is completely successful, I would be able to meet the old man again, celebrate his birthday, and let him experience the life of an old age with children and grandchildren around him."

"However, this is completely impossible nowadays."

Long placed the refreshments he had brought on the table, and as he spoke, he made tea for Jiguo Enichi and himself. It was only then that Enichi Tsukuni noticed that the refreshment brought by Ryu was senbei specially supplied to the Navy Headquarters. It was one of Garp's favorite snacks during his lifetime.

"."

Long's words also made Ji Guoyuan's expression stagnant. He looked at the tea cup that was moved in front of him, stared at the tea in the cup, and pursed his lips, acting a little unnaturally.

"I'm not here today to blame you or anything."

"I also inquired about what happened on the Starting Island."

"Things like that happen, there's no right or wrong."

"I can understand."

Garp died tragically at the hands of Ji Guoyuan. As Garp's son, it is simply impossible to say that Long has no objection to Ji Guoyuan.

But the characters of Long and Garp are very similar in one aspect, that is, people like them can often stay rational when facing big events.

Garp was able to work hard to suppress himself when facing Akainu after Ace's death, and Ryuu was able to control his emotions when facing Enichi Tsukuni and the New Marines after Garp's death.

Even as their descendant, Wang Lufei can still say "he has his own adventure" when facing certain things.

People in the Monqi family have always had extremely free hearts and will not be bound by hatred.

"I came to see you for some tea and a chat."

"Nothing else."

When Long said these words, Jiguo Yuanyi had already adjusted his mentality. Facing Long, he was indeed sorry, but after all, he had a clear conscience and his demeanor quickly returned to his natural state.

"I'm sorry about Mr. Karp."

"I wouldn't be surprised if you want to avenge him."

"He and I both made our choice, and I don't regret it, and neither does Mr. Karp."

Yuanyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The light bitter taste refreshed him.

"Yeah, I know."

"I know."

"I know he has never shown any regrets."

Long raised his head and looked at the bright moon outside the window, murmuring in a daze.

He came to see Enichi Jikuni not because he really had anything to say to Enichi Jikuni, but just because on a day like this, he hoped to have someone by his side who could understand his feelings of missing him. , making him less lonely.

Long had no way to show his vulnerable side in front of his subordinates, but in front of Ji Guoyuan, he could take off his mask.

The two of them didn't say too much, they just stayed in the room and looked at the bright moon outside the window, drinking tea and eating Garp's favorite refreshments.

It wasn't until the bright moon was setting in the west and the tea had cooled that Long said hello, got up and left Tsukuni Enichi's room.

Inside, the lights went out.

Jiguo Yuanyi sat by the bed, a little lost in thought. He had not felt this kind of sad emotion for a long time. The arrival of Long also made Yuanyi realize this emotion again.
