Joracol Mihawk followed Tsukuni Enichi and the others on board the ship, but not as a navy recruit.
Although Yuanyi said that Mihawk was a "re-education prisoner", in fact, after Mihawk boarded the ship, Yuanyi Jiguo did not really assign Mihawk any "re-education" tasks, nor did he Mihawk put on the shackles that only prisoners had to wear, and they didn't even restrict Mihawk's movements.
Mihawk was just like an ordinary citizen who boarded the ship to visit, and was even much freer than many sailors.
After returning to the ship, Ji Kunoyuan privately approached Garp's intelligence officer to investigate Mihawk's past. He thought that if Mihawk had now become a "Navy Hunter", then Mihawk's Reform through labor must become a reality.
However, what Ling Yuanyi did not expect was that the results of the intelligence officer's investigation were very different from what Yuanyi expected.
Young Mihawk is actually a bounty hunter.
In other words, there is a record in the Navy about Mihawk handing over the heads of criminals in exchange for bounties.
As for other things about Mihawk, the Navy has no more records. Mihawk, who is only about twenty years old now, has no reputation in this world at all.
Although I don't know why he will be called "Navy Hunter" in the future, and I don't know why he will have a close friendship with the Yonko "Red-haired Shanks", but all of this has become unimportant.
Now that Mihawk has been brought to the Navy by Yuanyi, no matter what identity he is on the ship now, he will only have one identity in the future. That is the Navy!
Yuanyi has already made plans for Mihawk silently.
Not long after Ji Guoyuan and others returned to the ship, two familiar figures appeared on the port.
The leader of the Isshin Gym, Koushiro Shigezuki, accompanied by his father, Kosaburo Shigetsuki, appeared on the dock carrying a package.
When the two of them arrived at the pier, Jiguo Yuanyi was meditating on the bow of the ship. Cyrus was the first to notice the two of them, standing on the deck and waving hello to the two on the pier.
On the pier, the two people from the Shuangyue family also saw the dog-headed warship docked on the pier, and also saw Cyrus who was waving towards them at this time.
After Kosaburo Shigezuki glanced at Cyrus, he turned his head and said to Kosaburo Shigezuki with some guilt:
"Koshiro. I have wronged you!"
"There is no doubt that the navy knows the country of Wano very well, and he probably already knows that our Shigetsuki family is from the country of Wano."
"The country of Wano hides secrets that can shake the world. I don't know how much that navy knows about our Shigetsuki family, but Koushiro, we can't gamble."
"For others to live peacefully on this island, Koushiro."
Shigetsuki Kozaburo spoke to his son with a heavy tone. Before he could finish speaking, Shigetsuki Koushiro interrupted:
"Father, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything."
"I don't know what their purpose is, but at least they didn't break up, right?"
"And they just invited me to be a marine. I just want to see this sea."
"To be honest, if I have the chance, I would like to go back to Wano Country to visit."
"Father, you don't have to worry about me. Take care of yourself during my absence."
Shigetsuki Koushiro said his final farewell to his father on the dock. The father and son talked for a long time, and then Shigetsuki Koushiro carried his package on his back and walked towards the dog-headed warship with a long sword on his waist.
Cyrus on the deck had already realized what had happened. He asked someone to put down the long ladder early. When Koushiro Shigezuki walked onto the deck, he smiled at Koshiro Shigezuki and said:
"Welcome to join our navy, Mr. Shigetsuki Koushiro!"
"Thank you." Facing Cyrus who greeted him, Shigetsuki Koushiro pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and nodded with a smile.
Then, under the leadership of Cyrus, he went to the bow of the ship to see Tsukikuni Enichi.
Seeing the arrival of Shigetsuki Koushiro, Tsukoku Yuen looked very happy.
Different from Mihawk's treatment, Shigetsuki Koushiro, who had just boarded the ship, was led by Cyrus to register relevant information, and then received a navy uniform and officially became a navy.
At the same time, under the guidance of the quartermaster on Garp's ship, Mihawk and Shigetsuki Koushiro were assigned to a double room.
It had to be overcome, but Enichi Jikun still gave them two preferential treatment that was different from that of ordinary navy, and he also treated Mihawk, a "re-education prisoner", as a humanitarian.
After changing into a navy uniform, Koushiro Shigezuki returned to the deck.
At this time, Jiguo Yuanyi has finished his meditation for the day, and is holding a bamboo knife in his hand, sparring with Mihawk.
There were no entertainment activities on the navy warships. While the warships were docked and waiting for Garp to return, the sailors on the ship were doing their own things except for necessary patrols.
Some gathered to play cards, some exercised in the cabin, and some stayed in their rooms to sleep.
Anyway, except for the sailors on duty, everyone else is very free.
Not to mention the Jiguoyuan first-class people who are not part of the establishment of this ship.
Mihawk is a fighting maniac. Although he lost to Jiguo Enichi when he was on the island, Mihawk, who already has a clear goal, will not waste time "tasting failure" at all, but directly devotes himself to training. among.
And with the existence of Jiguo Enichi, Mihawk will not be short of opponents.
Regarding Mihawk's challenge, Ji Guoyuan had no intention of rejecting it. Although Mihawk's current strength is somewhat different from his own, as a sparring partner, Mihawk is fully qualified.
Before Mihawk boarded the ship, Yuanyi was worried that he had no suitable opponent. Yixiao was a devil fruit user, which was not suitable as a sparring partner. However, Mihawk was a pure swordsman, and for Yuanyi , it couldn’t be more appropriate.
"Da da!!"
The sound of the collision of bamboo knives kept coming, and on the empty deck, the figures of Enichi Jiguo and Mihawk flashed and intertwined.
Since it was training, Yuanyi did not use the ability of seeing and killing. He also controlled the output of domineering to a certain extent, and tried to fight Mihawk with the same strength and speed as his opponent. The confrontation between the two was more of a confrontation of sword skills.
But in this kind of sword fighting, Mihawk was at a disadvantage in every battle with Enichi Jiguo.
In Jiguo Yuanyi's transparent world, there is no way Mihawk's every move can be hidden from Yuanyi's eyes. During the fight with Yuanyi, Mihawk felt very uncomfortable. He felt as if he was naked in front of Yuanyi. Everything about him was completely seen by his opponent.
"Bang!!"
On the deck, after Yuan Yi blocked the stabbing attack, Mihawk was directly slashed on the wrist by Yuan Yi's bamboo sword. The hand holding the knife subconsciously let go, and the bamboo knife fell to the ground.
Yuanyi, who had shot down the opponent's weapon, stopped at the right time. The tip of the knife touched the body of the bamboo knife on the ground. He gently picked up the bamboo knife and handed it to Mihawk.
Mihawk, who caught the bamboo knife again, didn't waste any time. He grabbed the knife with one hand and rushed towards Yuanyi again.
When Koshiro Shigezuki arrived on the deck, he watched the battle between the two, silently walked to Yixiao and Cyrus who were watching the battle, and asked in confusion: "You two, what is going on?"
"Who is the young man who fought with Lieutenant General Jiguo? He looks very strong!"
At this time, Mihawk's clothes had already become tattered in the battle. Through the "holes" in the clothes, Koushiro could see that Mihawk had many blood stains on his body from being beaten with a bamboo knife.
But Mihawk seemed to be unable to feel the pain in his body, and he attacked Yuanyi with excitement on his face.
Koushiro, who was also a swordsman, could feel Mihawk's fighting spirit and was full of curiosity about this young man, so he couldn't help but ask.
"He, Joracol Mihawk, aims to become the world's best swordsman."
"Now Lieutenant General Ji Guo is helping him grow."
Yixiao heard the words and replied with a smile.
As soon as Yixiao finished speaking, a sudden change occurred in the center of the deck. Jiguo Yuan once again struck Mihawk with his bamboo sword. This time, Yuanyi used a little more domineering force and directly knocked Mihawk away. .
Mihawk's figure suddenly disappeared on the deck and fell towards the sea.
"Plop!"
As Mihawk's figure disappeared, a column of water rose from the sea.
"Huh?! Sorry, sorry!"
"I accidentally used too much force!"
When Yuan saw Mihawk being knocked away, he immediately shouted apologetically, and then ran toward the guardrail. When he saw Mihawk falling into the sea, he turned his head and shouted to Cyrus:
"Hey~ Cyrus, please, please, fish that guy out."
"If you take this blow from me, Mihawk will drown if he chokes."
Tsukuni Enichi said with a smile to Cyrus. Seeing Enichi's appearance, Cyrus shook his head helplessly and sighed at Koushiro: "As you can see, they are 'discussing' Woolen cloth"
With that said, Cyrus jumped directly into the sea.
"Sparring?!"
"This is a unilateral crushing, it can be considered a beating."
Koushiro didn't say this out loud, he just thought about it in his heart, and then looked at Enichi Tsukuni with a look of awe.
If possible, during his time in the navy, he did not want to argue with his superior, the lieutenant general.
Feeling Koushiro's gaze, Enichi turned his head and smiled at Koushiro. Although Enichi thought his smile was very kind, Koushiro's hair stood up at this moment and he slightly avoided Enichi's gaze. Towards the sea.
He was afraid of being caught by Yuanyi for a spar.
Soon, Cyrus rescued Mihawk back on the deck. After Guoyuan hit him with such force, Mihawk actually choked on the water when he fell into the sea. After returning to the deck, he coughed violently. Then, seawater spit out from his belly.
"Are you okay? Mihawk, I'm sorry!"
Yuanyi squatted beside Mihawk and asked with some concern.
Mihawk just glanced at Yuanyi with resentment and wanted to say something, but he coughed instead.
"Don't talk yet and let your breath go." Yuanyi patted Mihawk on the back and said. However, his action only made Mihawk cough more violently.
Feeling Mihawk's murderous gaze, Yuanyi stopped in embarrassment, laughed, looked at the ragged Mihawk, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said with a smile:
"That's enough for today's training. Your clothes are torn. Go change them."
"There are no prison uniforms on the ship, but you can wear navy clothes first."
"It's okay, I won't mind."
Yuanyi patted Mihawk on the shoulder, stood up slowly, and said with a smile. After speaking, he winked at Cyrus. After receiving the signal, Cyrus helped Mihawk up and took him back to the cabin.
By now, Mihawk is somewhat aware of Jiguo Yuanyi's intentions, but he does not reject it. Whether he becomes a marine or not is not important to him at all. What is important is that he must defeat Enichi Tsukuni, then go to sea, challenge a swordsman stronger than Enichi Tsukuni, and become the best in the world!
Becoming stronger is what Mihawk is pursuing now!
As for the rest? ! It doesn’t matter what happens!
After Cyrus and Mihawk left, Yuanyi also put away his bamboo sword, walked to the bow of the ship, leaned against the railing, and looked at the sea.
The sun sets in the west, and the golden sunlight shines on the sea, making the waves sparkling. Seabirds flew over the sea in front of Enichi, and the gentle sea breeze made Enichi Jikuni, who had just broken out in a sweat, feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"The weather is getting colder." A smiling voice came from Yuanyi's ear, and the cloak of justice was put on Yuanyi's body again.
"Thank you! Just smile."
Yuanyi didn't turn his head, looked at the sea view, and said with a smile.
There was no response. Yixiao just stood quietly behind Yuanyi and looked at the sea.
At this moment, Koushiro also came to the side of Enichi Tsukuni, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the peaceful-looking lieutenant general next to him with his peripheral vision. There was no way to distinguish the young man in front of him from the "abuse" prisoner just now. of Lieutenant Generals.
"Koshiro, welcome to join our navy."
Suddenly, Enichi Tsukuni said this while looking at the sea view. Without waiting for Koushiro to answer, Enichi turned his head slightly, stretched out his hand towards Koushiro, and said:
"I invite you to become a marine just because I think your abilities are outstanding. There is no other reason."
"And I don't think people your age should stay in that town."
"This sea is very vast, Koushiro, can you please come with me to see it?!"
"Of course, if you change your mind now, I won't have any objections. I said that to you in the gym before. I'm sorry."
After fighting Mihawk, Yuiichi's heart completely calmed down. After calming down, Yuiichi couldn't help but reflect on whether it was appropriate for him to "invite" Koushiro Shigezuki to join the navy in that way.
He actually does not want anyone to be coerced into joining the navy. It is difficult for such people to become "seeds of change."
Yuanyi attaches great importance to the branch he is about to form. To a certain extent, Yuanyi intends to make it perfect.
As for Mihawk, he is different from Koushiro. Mihawk is a pure person, and Yuichi can easily dye him into his own color.
"change idea?!"
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, you are joking."
"I volunteered to join the navy. If I have the chance, I actually want to go back to Wano Country."
"I don't want to be like my father, guarding that village all the time."
"I actually also yearn for life on the sea!"
As soon as Miyuan started talking, Koushiro also smiled and said what was in his heart. The gentle face of Yui Yi was reflected in the lenses of Koushiro's glasses. Looking at the young lieutenant general in front of him, Koushiro no longer felt any unhappiness in his heart.
"Welcome, Koushiro."
"This time, I really welcome you, welcome you to join our navy!"
Koushiro's hand held Enichi's hand, and when he noticed Koushiro's movements, the smile on Enichi's face became even brighter.
While the two were talking, Mihawk put on a white navy shirt and black slim-fitting trousers, and returned to the deck with Cyrus.
Looking at Mihawk and Cyrus walking towards each other, Yuanyi's eyes fell on Mihawk and he pressed his temples helplessly.
Is Mihawk a little afraid of heat? ! Why can’t I button my navy shirt properly? !
After arriving at Enichi's side, Enichi introduced Koushiro and Mihawk to each other, so that everyone knew each other.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sunshine was shining on the deck. Several young people who had just met were chatting while looking at the sea view.
When Lieutenant General Garp returned to the warship after seeing his son, night had fallen.
The people who greeted him were Ji Guoyuan and others.
When Garp walked onto the deck, he saw two new faces inexplicably appearing behind Ji Guoyuan, and his face was full of doubts.
After subconsciously releasing the Haki of Insight and Feeling the auras of Mihawk and Koushiro, Garp's expression became very strange.
After scratching his hair, Garp couldn't help but asked Yuanyi:
"Yuanyi, where did you find these two treasures?!"
Yuanyi smiled when he heard this and replied:
"No need to look for it."
"Fate will bring us like-minded people together."
When Garp heard this, he breathed out from his nostrils, snorted softly, and said in a muffled voice:
"A little brat. Just showing off."
"Let's go! Go back to the Capital of Seven Waters. After you go back, the design drawings of your warships should be ready."
"Go and see what that guy Tom can do!"
