After the warship designed by Tom was confirmed by Ji Guoyi, construction officially began.
However, although they said they were confirming the drawings, Yuanyi actually just adjusted the living facilities on the warship. According to Tom's original plan, the warship was a pure warship. Apart from the necessary cab and rest cabin, there were only weapons warehouses and material warehouses, and nothing else.
The design concept is to design the warship purely as a weapon.
It's just that Ji Guoyuan had a different idea. After they enter the new world in the future, if things are busy, people may spend more time on warships than on land.
If sailors stay on warships for a long time without any entertainment facilities, they may have mental problems.
Therefore, Yuanyi reduced the number of rest rooms, reducing the capacity of the rest room from 200 people to 50 people. The free space was used to build specialized gyms, dojos, and libraries.
Yixiao also strongly suggested that Yuanyi build a casino on the warship, but such an outrageous suggestion was immediately rejected by Jiguo Yuanyi.
The blueprint of the warship was officially finalized, and the seven shipyards above the Seven Waters City all received the blueprint assigned by Tom and began to build parts.
It is worth mentioning that the construction of warships was not carried out in the same shipyard by the same group of people as Jiguanyuan originally thought.
Instead, it was built jointly by seven shipyards.
Dockyard No. 1, which Tom presides over, is responsible for the construction of the hull, power system, and firepower system, while the living areas on the warship are assigned to the other dockyards.
After all, it is a big project worth 200 million beli. A single shipyard simply cannot handle such a large amount of work.
While the construction of warships began to advance rapidly, Tsukikuni Enichi was also paying attention to the news from the Navy Headquarters. The news that his team killed CP9 caused a stir in the newspapers. In the past few days in the Capital of Seven Waters, he heard countless people discussing this matter.
The direction of public opinion was developing in a direction that was favorable to Yuanyi, but almost a week had passed, and the Navy Headquarters had not responded at all to this matter.
The compliment Jiguoyuanyi had not even thought about, but neither did the expected instructions. The Navy Headquarters seemed to have forgotten about this matter and did not express any opinions on this matter at all. Even the Sengoku Admiral did not even call Enichi.
However, Zefa called Yuanyi several times, but they were just daily greetings. When Yuanyi asked about this matter, Zefa just smiled and changed the subject. However, he became impatient when Yuanyi asked him. Then he said lightly, "It would be better if this kind of thing doesn't happen again."
There is no news from the Navy Headquarters, and there is also no news from the World Government.
However, a piece of news was published in the newspapers in the next few days, which was noticed by the attentive Yuanyi. That is, a newspaper owned by Morgans accidentally encountered a fire. This accident caused considerable losses to Morgans. , not only was a large-scale newspaper under his name completely burned down, but even the reporters, editors and other staff in the newspaper were killed in the fire.
This report only occupies a very small space in the newspaper, and the introduction of the matter is also very brief. If Yuanyi's habit of reading newspapers is to read them all, instead of just focusing on a few "big events", it would be You will miss this news.
"It seems that the World Government has not taken any action."
"However, it seems that Morgans' power may be a bit strong!"
"Not only did I dare to report such a thing, I was able to escape unscathed."
"It seems that for the World Government, except for 'history', there is nothing that cannot be compromised!"
In the temporary navy station in the Seven Waters City, Jiguo Enichi, Mihawk and Yixiao were sitting on chairs on the edge of the open space. In the open space, Cyrus was sparring with Koushiro, and Yixiao was sparring with Mihawk. Watching the two of them sparring, they looked relaxed.
While waiting for the completion of the construction of the warship in the Capital of Seven Waters, Ji Guoyuan's daily life consists of eating, sleeping and practicing. The way to relax is to take a walk with your friends, drink tea and read the newspaper.
Real retirement living for seniors.
Yixiao thought that a young and promising young lieutenant general like Ji Guoyuan had lost his temper and wanted to go out to sea for a "walk". However, he did not expect that nearly a month after the completion of the design drawing, Ji Guoyuan simply couldn't bear it. He showed no intention of going to sea.
And what surprised Yixiao even more was that not only Tsukuni Enichi could endure his temper, but also the three young men, Cyrus, Shigetsuki Koushiro, and Mihawk, could also endure their temper.
Be content with this simple and boring life.
In the final analysis, a smile is not enough to understand people like Cyrus. Cyrus is a stable person at heart, and in these years in the navy, he knows the importance of strength to people. Now he has time to practice without having to run missions. Cyrus Scholars cherish days like this very much.
As for Koushiro, he grew up in Shuoyue Village. He has never left that small village for so many years and has long been accustomed to this kind of life. Even when he was with Enichi and the others, Koushiro was able to communicate with his peers, which was actually more interesting than when he was in Shuoyue Village.
As for Mihawk.
He is a pure swordsman. Whenever he fails in a duel with Yuan, he will practice like crazy, and then challenge Enichi Tsukuni the next day.
In these monotonous but fulfilling days, the strength of Shigetsuki Koushiro and Cyrus is steadily improving. Cyrus began to practice "Ryuzakura" under the guidance of Shigetsuki Koushiro, and the sight and sound Haki was practiced under the guidance of Yixiao.
Koushiro also often competes with Mihawk and Yixiao. His sword skills have improved somewhat, and his domineering power has also improved.
However, the improvement speed of the two of them is far from comparable to Mihawk.
During the sparring session with Ji Guoyuan, Mihawk's sword skills and domineering skills improved at a terrifying rate. Although there is no way to quantify his improvement speed, in simple comparison, it should not be slower than Luffy's improvement under Rayleigh's guidance.
From this point of view, Jiguo Enichi is actually a famous teacher that surpasses Rayleigh!
Time often passes very quickly in this ordinary daily life.
Tom's construction was slower than expected, and instead of being completed within the three months he had promised, it was almost half a month overdue.
It is mid-December of the year 1499 in the Haiyuan calendar.
A giant battleship with a sky blue hull fell into the sea along the "ocean current" of the No. 1 dock.
The battleship named "Dawn" was finally successfully launched today.
At the port, spectators and shipwrights who built warships gathered on the pier. They looked at the giant warship that was successfully launched in front of them, with faces full of pride.
This is the strongest battleship built for the "dawn" of this world in their capital of seven waters!
Different from the secrecy when building Roger's ship, when this warship was built, the people of the entire island knew about it. And when the warship was launched, all the people cheered.
"Finally it's done!"
"It seems it's time for us to leave the Capital of Seven Waters!"
On the pier, after Ji Guoyuanyi and Tom and others chatted for a while, he looked at the warship docked on the shore, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Lieutenant Admiral Jiguo, my suggestion is that you and your crew members first try out the Grand Line for a few months. After your subordinates are thoroughly familiar with the operation, it is not too late to enter the new world."
"After all, it is completely different from the traditional sailboat. Even if your subordinates are all veterans, they still need to get familiar with it again."
Before Yuan Yi and others boarded the ship, Tom suggested to Yuan Yi. During this period of time, Garp came to the Seven Waters City once, and then left 30 veterans with Yuanyi. These people were all excellent navy who were preparing to enter the new world with Yuanyi.
After all, a warship cannot be sailed away by just a few of them. Because none of these people except Yuanyi and Cyrus can operate warships.
Koushiro has never been to the sea, and he looks like a blind man. He relies on others to guide him when he goes to sea. As for Mihawk, he has experience in driving a small boat and a warship.
"Yeah! I know what you mean, I do have such a plan."
"Thank you, Mr. Tom, you really helped me a lot!"
Turning to look at Tom beside him, Ji Guoyuan said sincerely grateful.
"What are you talking about? It's an honor for me to be able to help a navy like yours."
"Lieutenant General Jiguo, these are my words from the bottom of my heart."
When Tom saw Jiguo Yuanyi's posture, he immediately waved his hand and said quickly.
Yuanyi did not continue to be polite to Tom and ordered the crew to start filling supplies. Then he took out a phone bug from his pocket, handed it to Tom, and said:
"Mr. Tom, I won't say anything about repayment."
"This is my personal phone bug, you can use it to contact me at any time."
"If there's anything I can do to help, don't be polite. As long as I'm not dead and you need me, I will come to help you!"
With that said, regardless of Tom's objection, he immediately put the phone bug into Tom's hand.
And while the two were talking, Yixiao used his fruit ability to help the sailors quickly complete the filling of supplies.
"Mr. Tom, I will take my leave now. I will come back to you after a while!"
As soon as Ji Guoyuan saw the sailors boarding the ship one after another, he had no intention of staying any longer. After saying goodbye to Tom, he jumped onto the bow of the warship while everyone was watching.
"Lieutenant General Jiguo! Goodbye!!"
"Have a nice trip!"
As a whistle sounded, and amid the cheers of the people of the Seven Waters Capital, the warship began to slowly leave the port. After sailing a few hundred meters, the warship began to accelerate, and then quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
For the first stop of the trial voyage, Ji Guoyuan chose one of the superpowers in the first half of the great voyage - the Kingdom of Alabasta.
There is not much distance between the Capital of Seven Waters and the Kingdom of Alabasta. With the sailing speed of the Dawn warship, it takes less than ten days to reach the Kingdom of Alabasta.
As for why the Kingdom of Alabasta was chosen as the first stop for the trial voyage, it was mainly because Ji Guoyuan had an inexplicable urge to "check in".
This is just like if you go to Beijing, you will definitely go to Tiananmen and the Forbidden City.
Coming to the world of pirates, how can we not see this kingdom of Alabasta that is full of Arabian style? By the way, Tsukikuni Enichi also wants to try his luck to see if he can encounter the "Sand Crocodile".
A natural fruit user of Crocodile's caliber, Enichi Tsukuni really wanted to see him. The legendary "pirate 50/50", Yuanichi really wanted to see if he was Crocodile. Being able to "have fun" with Mihawk and Yixiao.
However, there was no way to satisfy Enichi Tsukuni after all on this trip. In this era, Crocodile had not yet settled in the Kingdom of Alabasta as a Shichibukai, and Enichi was not able to see him.
However, on the way to the Kingdom of Alabasta, Yuan Yi encountered several groups of pirates, but he did not give Yuan Yi a chance to take action. Mihawk, who had itchy hands, directly used a few flying slashes to send the pirates to meet God. .
After practicing with Yuan Dui for a long time, Mihawk began to lose confidence. Those groups of pirates helped Mihawk regain his confidence.
It turns out that it's not that he is too weak, it's just that Jiguo Enichi is too strong!
Yuanyi and the crew stayed in the Kingdom of Alabasta for less than a week before leaving in a hurry. On the one hand, this "superpower" was not really prosperous, and on the other hand, the Navy Headquarters sent people I called Ji Guoyuan.
The fact that Jiguo Enichi's warships were wandering at sea was reported to the Navy Headquarters. When Cyborg heard the news, he immediately asked Sengoku to give Enichi an order to Jiguo Enichi to hurry up and go to the new world. Wandering the first half of the Grand Line.
Cyborg Kong was also frightened by Yuanyi, fearing that he would encounter something "forced" in the first half of the Grand Route.
The World Government is still patient with Yuanyi. Cyborg Kong is not sure what will happen to the World Government if Yuanyi does anything again.
After the order was issued, Kazuo Kunoyuan also ordered the warship to return to the Capital of Seven Waters, and then asked Tom to improve and maintain the warship before sailing towards Marineford.
January of the year 1500 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Under the guidance of the warship of the headquarters, the warship of Jiguoyuanyi docked at the military port of Marineford. The passing navy cast curious glances at this novel warship in the military port.
Dawn's entire body is painted with blue anti-rust paint, and there are the navy's seagull logo on both sides of the hull. Just below the seagull, the word "Dawn" is printed, and there are two seagull flags on the bow, floating in the wind.
Naval Academy, in the office of Chief Instructor Zefa.
Yuan Yi, who had just returned to the headquarters, took his friends to visit Zefa. Before heading to the new world, he wanted to meet Zefa and ask Zefa for something by the way.
"Yuanyi, you kid, why are you so anxious to bring me back?"
In the office, Jiguo Yuanyi got a roll of rice paper from somewhere and spread it on Zefa's desk. At the same time, Yuanyi also prepared a brush for Zefa and was pulling Zefa there. Beside the desk, I helped sharpen the ink.
Seeing this posture, Zefa scratched his hair in confusion and asked in confusion.
"Teacher Zefa, I see that the Warring States General, Cyborg Marshal Kong, and even your office all have justice that you have elaborated on."
"I was thinking that as a Vice Admiral of the Navy and your disciple, I also need to hang one to show that I am gregarious."
Ji Guoyuan smiled gently, pointed at the piece of "Justice Without Killing" on the wall of Zefa's office and said.
"." Upon hearing this, Zefa rolled his eyes at Yuanyi speechlessly, then sighed softly, looked back at the plaque hanging behind him, shook his head, and said:
"My justice...is not for you."
"And you can't do it either."
Hearing this, Yuanyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Teacher Zefa, I just want you to help me pick up the words. As for the content, I have already thought about it!"
"Have you thought about it? What do you want me to write?"
Yuanyi knocked on the table lightly, then raised his head, looked at Zefa with bright eyes, and said:
"Clear Justice!"
"I hope Teacher Zefa will mention this to me! Speaking of which, I am also a student at the Naval Academy, so this should be my graduation answer sheet!"
After hearing this, Zefa also raised his head, took a deep look at Jiguo Yuanyi, and sighed in his heart: "What a pure justice. This kid will definitely cause a bloody storm in this sea."
Although he was sighing in his heart, Zefa's hand quickly picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and then started dancing on the rice paper.
As expected, he is indeed one of the representatives of Confucian generals. Zefa's calligraphy is much better than Garp's!
After that, Ji Guoyuan and others stayed at the navy headquarters for less than a week before they were urged by Cyborg Kong to go to the new world.
On the rough sea, a pirate ship flying a black skull and crossbones flag is trying to resist the wind and waves.
The sea in the new world is like an unpredictable woman. When she falls out, she never notifies others. This pirate ship, which is more than 20 meters long, is like a rootless leaf on the sea, being "tossed back and forth" by the waves.
"Captain of the ship!"
"There's a ship in the southwest! It's heading towards us!"
Suddenly, a pirate on the observation deck of the pirate ship shouted, informing his companions on the deck.
"Boat?!"
"Still coming towards us? What kind of pirate group is it? Dare to take advantage of us?"
Raila Chapman asked loudly on the deck. He is a leader of the Moonlight Pirates, with a bounty of 110 million Baileys. On the sea of this new world, the ships that will rush towards the pirate group are most likely other pirate groups!
Taking advantage of others while they are free is nothing new in the new world.
"It seems like they are not a pirate group!"
"That strange ship has no mast and no sail."
"It looks like a warship?!"
A loud shout came from the lookout. Raila Chapman was stunned when she heard the word warship.
And the next second, a terrifying buzz suddenly broke through the sound of the crashing waves and penetrated into his ears.
The next second, the waves that had just been set off in front of the pirate ship were suddenly cut off. An invisible slash struck directly across the sea and plunged into the bow of the pirate ship.
After a violent shaking, the entire pirate ship separated from the middle. Under the action of the waves, the pirate ship began to rapidly disintegrate.
In the distance, on the deck of Dawn, Ji Guoyuan held the telescope in one hand and looked at the bat-shaped skull pirate flag gradually disappearing on the sea level in the distance. He slowly put down the telescope and raised his knife towards his side. Mihawk, who was in a chopping posture, said:
"Well, it's completely cut off."
"As expected of you! Mihawk."
"However, I don't know who the pirates are, so there is no way to report credit to the headquarters!"
