After the Roger Pirates left, Garp's dog-headed warship stopped pursuing Roger.
Many members of the navy who had just fought against the Roger Pirates were seriously injured and needed some time to recuperate.
Garp's adjutant Bogart was unable to continue performing his duties as adjutant due to his serious injury. This position was temporarily replaced by Aoki Pheasant.
Not only were the crew injured, but Garp's dog-headed warship also suffered a lot of damage under his repeated "sexy" operations. After emergency repairs, it barely reached sailing conditions, but in such a harsh environment in the New World In such a maritime environment, the dog-headed warship cannot drive far at all.
It is for these reasons that Garp plans to go to the nearest port first, repair the warship, and then return to Marineford.
The contact between Roger and Charlotte Lingling was inevitable. He planned to find some powerful major generals and lieutenant generals after returning, and then set sail again.
As for launching a general-level battle, Garp really hadn't thought about it. Because at that level, he, the lieutenant general, could no longer control the actions. Sengoku only obeyed the orders of Navy Marshal Cyborg Sora, and had to be stationed at Marineford most of the time.
Although in principle, it is impossible for Garp to move at the level of major generals and lieutenant generals, but as long as Garp puts his arms around the necks of those major generals and lieutenant generals and says, "Give me a face," most lieutenant generals and major generals will still Listen to Cap.
Garp knew very well that it would be very difficult for just these men on his ship to resist the Roger Pirates. If they continued to pursue and enter the territory of Wan Guo, they might even be attacked by the Big Mom Pirates.
Those guys are different from the Roger Pirates. Putting aside their numbers, those pirates will not hold back on their navy.
If Garp is tripped up by Charlotte Lingling, there's no telling how many of the crew members on the ship will survive.
You cannot act rashly without complete preparation.
Although Garp acted recklessly, unlike Luffy, he was out of his mind.
Just like when he broke into Beehive Island in the future, the people he brought with him were not the rookie sailors on the ship at this time, but the members of the elite unit "SWORD".
...
Three days later, Garp's dog-headed warship docked at the military port of the New World G-63 branch. After the branch rested for a period of time, Garp's ship set sail again, heading in the direction of Marineford.
...
The midday sun is like toffee, with a delicate and elegant taste.
On the sparkling sea, fish jump out of the water from time to time and play with the sunshine.
On the vast sea, a dog-headed warship full of "patches" was sailing on the sea.
It has been two full months since Garp led his team to leave Marineford, and the impact of the defeat more than ten days ago has not been able to dissipate from the warship to this day.
Only half of the navy who participated in the battle have regained their ability to move after these days of training, and some are still lying in bed, too weak to get up.
Nowadays, the most comprehensive personnel on the ship are probably only the marines in the power room, because the combat effectiveness of the marines in the power room is generally weak, and most of them cannot resist the domineering aura exuded by Roger at that time.
It was precisely because these marines were unconscious at the time that they were prevented from being injured.
At this time, on the deck of the warship, there were only a few marines scattered around the warship, holding telescopes in their hands, observing the situation on the surrounding sea. If it were normal, there would be at least twice as many navy officers watching on the deck.
Unlike those navy who stick to their posts, on the deck at this time, there is a red-haired boy wearing a navy uniform, standing by the fence, looking at the sea in a daze.
The sea breeze blew, and the young man's red hair fluttered in the wind.
The navymen on the deck seemed to have long been accustomed to it, minding their own business, and no one paid any attention to the "雑 service".
Suddenly, the red-haired boy seemed to have suffered some secret attack. He covered his chest with his right hand and slowly squatted to the ground. His left hand was holding on to the railing, with a look of pain on his face.
"Brother Yuan! Why are you little brother Yuan?" The boy's abnormality attracted the attention of the navy on duty not far away. He shouted and hurried to Jiguo Yuanyi and asked with concern.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan knelt on the deck, lowered his head and did not answer, the navy officer saw that something was not going well and hurried to the cabin to call for someone.
Not long after, Garp and Aoki hurried to the deck and gathered around Enichi Tsukuni.
Garp lowered his head and glanced at Tsukuni Enichi, frowned, and asked with concern:
"Yuanyi, what's wrong with you?! Are you injured? Or are you sick?"
"Ship doctor, go get the ship doctor!"
Garp was a little nervous when he saw Yuanyi's painful look, and shouted hurriedly.
Until then, Jiguo Yuanyi seemed to have regained his composure and said, "No... Use."
"It'll be fine in a while, Lieutenant General Garp."
Ji Guoyuan's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, and Garp frowned when he heard this, a little disbelieving. Soon, the ship's doctor arrived, and at Garp's strong request, he examined Ji Guoyuan's body. However, after a general examination, the military doctor shook his head at Garp.
Upon seeing this, Garp stared blankly and whispered in disbelief: "What?! It's hopeless?!"
As Garp's exclamation rang out, other marines around him were also stunned, and Aokiji also looked at Enichi Tsukuni in shock.
Seeing Garp and the others like this, the military doctor quickly explained: "No...no. Brother Yuan is very healthy. I don't see anything wrong with him."
"..."
"Asshole! If you don't know, you don't know. Why are you shaking your head?"
Garp cursed angrily, pushed the military doctor away, squatted next to Yuanyi, and looked at Yuanyi's face carefully. Garp noticed that Jiguo Enichi's expression had calmed down a lot at this moment, and it seemed that the pain in his body had dissipated.
The moment Garp squatted down, Yuanyi was able to stand up slowly while holding on to the railing.
"Yuanyi, what's wrong with you?" Garp asked with some confusion as Yuanyi's face turned rosy.
"Uh...I'm fine, Lieutenant General Garp."
"It's just training."
When Garp heard this, he became even more puzzled. Practice? Can something go wrong through cultivation? And it's not an external injury. Following the appearance of Yuan Yi just now, Garp really doesn't know what kind of training can cultivate... internal injuries? !
"Lieutenant General Garp, it's really nothing."
"Look, I'm not okay." Yuanyi stretched his arms as he spoke, with a relaxed look on his face. He really didn't look like he was sick.
Garp was worried and asked the military doctor to check Yuanyi again before he felt relieved and returned to the cabin. He had just been discussing with others the possible next moves of the Roger Pirates.
Just a week ago, news came that Roger was in contact with the Big Mom Pirates. However, there seemed to be some friction between the two pirate groups. After a big battle, the Roger Pirates disappeared.
Garp would not think that the Roger Pirates had been wiped out. He guessed that Roger most likely got what he wanted and started moving towards the next goal. He discussed this with other naval commanders. , which is where Roger may go next.
At this time, seeing that Yuanyi was fine, Garp did not stay on the deck any longer and returned to the cabin to continue the meeting.
After Garp and others left, Ji Guoyuan looked at the sea with a smile on his face and said to himself:
"Finally...succeeded!"
"However, it is still a preliminary stage and must be carried out step by step."
During his return trip, in addition to practicing Haki coverage, Tsukikuni Enichi also mastered the technique of Haki flow.
While training, Ji Guoyuan had some ideas for improving breathing techniques.
That is... combining domineering and breathing techniques!
It can strengthen muscle strength and increase the domineering power of body defense. It can also strengthen breathing techniques to further train your body!
After these days of trying, Jiguo Yuanyi finally succeeded.
The Breath of the Sun—The Form of One—The Round Dance!
Suddenly, Ji Guoyuan pulled out the long knife from his waist. As he breathed, Yuan Yi's heart made a muffled "dong dong" sound. The next second, Ji Guoyuan slashed out one by one, creating a four to five meter long sword. The domineering slash was shot out in the air and hit the sea.
In an instant, a knife mark extending nearly a hundred meters appeared on the sea surface. After five or six seconds, the knife mark disappeared on the sea surface as the water returned.
Jiguo Yuanyi snorted after making a slash, and squatted down again, covering his chest. But at this time, Yuanyi's face was full of joy and excitement after success.
"It worked, I really succeeded!"
"Haqi can be perfectly integrated into the breathing method, further strengthening my body functions."
"Although I am a little overwhelmed now even if I try it for a short time, as my practice deepens, this side effect will soon disappear."
"If I practice this kind of breathing that condenses domineering energy to a constant concentration, my strength will definitely make a qualitative leap!"
With the slash that split the sea just like that, if Ji Kunoyuan had simply used the domineering amplification, the sword light would probably only be able to extend a few dozen meters, but after using the current breathing method, the power of the slash has been doubled. times.
It can already cut nearly 100 meters of knife marks, and the depth of the sea is also deeper, because the water backflow time is two to three seconds longer than before. It was precisely because of this that Yuanyi was convinced that his experiment was successful!
In the following days, Ji Guoyuan tried new breathing methods from time to time, hoping to let his body adapt quickly. The breathing method that contains domineering energy puts a heavy burden on the body, but Yuanyi, who has a transparent world, can clearly know when his body will reach the critical point.
Therefore, he practiced the new breathing method very sparingly and did not cause any damage to his body.
While practicing the new breathing method, Yuan Yi began to integrate domineering energy into shaving. With the blessing of flowing domineering, Jiguo Yuanyi's shaving speed was much faster than before.
Now when I was sparring with Aokiji in Taijutsu, if Aokiji didn't use his fruit ability, he would be knocked away by Enichi as soon as he met him. Now, in terms of Taijutsu, Aokiji is already far behind Tsukuni Enichi. .
Aoji, who realizes that Enichi Jiguo has made a terrifying improvement, now avoids Enichi Jiguo because he is afraid that Enichi will call him to practice physical skills. And when he was caught by Yuanyi several times, Qingzhi also quickly said that something was wrong.
Enichi couldn't find a sparring opponent, so he had to go to Garp. Garp would take the time to "point out" Enichi Tsukuni when he wasn't busy. But you don't know if you don't fight. Once you fight Garp, you will know why Aokiji ran away from Yuanyi.
Garp found that Jiguo Yuanyi suddenly became much stronger. The terrifying movement speed, the increasing slashing power, and the increasingly powerful armed domination all made Garp secretly frightened.
With Jiguoyuanyi's current strength, looking at the entire navy, there are only a few strong men who can say that they can stabilize Jiguoyuanyi.
If you ignore the fruit's ability and just talk about physical skills, I'm afraid only Garp and his two old friends can suppress Enichi Tsukuni!
"Hehehe, Zefa."
"I really know how to train the navy better than you."
"Wait, I'm afraid you'll be shocked when you see this kid!"
...
Garp's warship stopped and went, cleaning up the pirates along the way, and finally returned to the Navy headquarters, Marineford, a month later.
The three-month long sailing life made all the sailors on the ship feel exhausted. Even Jiguo Enichi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the land, and his mood became more comfortable.
When he first went to sea, Yuanyi was very excited, but after staying at sea for so long, Yuanyi would inevitably feel tired.
He stuck his head out and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Marin Ford in front of him. Yuanyi couldn't help but sigh: "The Navy Headquarters is really strange to me. The time spent at sea is comparable to that at sea." This is much longer.”
At this time, a large group of people gathered at the military port pier. These people were the family members of the sailors who came to pick up the ship after learning about Garp's return voyage.
In addition to their status as navies, these sailors on Cap's ship are also the sons of their parents, the husbands of women, and the fathers of their children.
Behind every crew member is a family.
The sailors on the ship had already packed their things. Before the warship docked, these sailors who missed their families looked toward the dock, expecting to see their families.
Karp understood the mood of the crew. After coming to the deck, he asked the lieutenants to take care of the wounded, and then ordered them to be disbanded on the spot. At the same time, he gave the sailors a half-month holiday.
The moment the warship docked at the headquarters military port, the navy on board could no longer contain their inner joy and couldn't help but cheer.
The long ladder was lowered, and eager sailors carried their clothes and hurriedly ran off the warship. They found their families among the crowd and quickly left the military port surrounded by their families.
After him, the sailors on Garp's ship disembarked one after another and reunited with their families. For a while, the dock was filled with laughter and laughter.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan stood on the boat, he put his hands on the railing and looked at the reunion scene on the pier, with a gentle smile on his face. However, this smile did not last long, and he felt a little disappointed.
It would be great for the sailors to be reunited with their families, but it's a pity that he has no one waiting for him...
Yuanyi retracted his gaze, sighed softly, and retreated to the deck. Just as he was about to ask Garp where he was going next, Yuanyi noticed someone coming up the wooden ladder.
It's not going down, it's coming up.
Turning around, he happened to see a middle-aged man wearing a righteous cloak slowly walking onto the warship.
As soon as the visitor stepped onto the deck, he looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, grinned and said:
"Hey! Yuanyi, I'm here to take you home."
"Why are you so lazy and still staying on the boat?!"
"It's too slow to pack things up. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Ji Guoyuan looked at the man boarding the warship and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the man would actually come here. When Yuan Yi heard the word "go home", he was a little distracted for a moment...
He didn't know how long it had been since he heard someone say this word to him.
After a long silence, a bright smile appeared on Yuanyi's face. He looked at the visitor, nodded and said:
"Okay, Teacher Zefa, I'll be there right away."
