Zephyr looked at everyone at the table and asked: "What did you learn from Dragon's battle this ti?"
Kuzan showed a flash of resignation in his eyes, already suspecting what the ntor would say.
So it was...
Seeing that they remained silent, Zephyr did not mince words and said seriously, "The importance of physical abilities and Haki!"
"This slave king just ignored physical skills and domineering and focused exclusively on fruit abilities. He did awaken because of this, but as a result, he was easily overtaken by Dragon, who was dozens of years younger than him!"
"You must rember that whether you are an ability user or not, physical skills and Haki are the foundation of everything. You cannot rely too much on fruit abilities, otherwise you will end up like this Slaver King. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Teacher Zephyr!"
Dragon, Kuzan and the others had no objection and responded in unison, making the other marines look envious. After all, not everyone can enter Zephyr's training camp.
Seeing this, Zephyr nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Dragon.
"By the way, the two 'cats' you brought, according to your description, seem promising. Let them report to the training camp next year and they will continue to follow you after they graduate."
"That's great, I'll thank you on their behalf." Dragon showed a hint of joy.
"Speaking of which, order the capture of the Slaver King of the Underworld, investigate the Kingdom of Thutmose, free more than two hundred thousand slaves, organize fleets and personnel from various nations to provide them with treatnt, food, and temporary shelter. And finally, let the South Blue Navy escort them back to their hos..."
Kuzan took a sip of the golden wine in the glass, exhaled a long breath, and grinned.
"In the past, I would have never dared to think about all of this. If Dragon hadn't told it himself, you wouldn't have believed it even if you heard it, right?"
Everyone at the table nodded thoughtfully. Dragon looked at Kuzan and said: "I guess you've also been involved recently in things you wouldn't even dare to imagine before, right? Like the Fishman Island thing."
He was thinking of the two hundred fish-n and rmaids he saw arriving in the morning.
"Hey, it's not just that. Listen to next. After listening, you will be surprised!" Kuzan laughed with a red face.
"Let start with the mission from the Drum Kingdom that I received earlier..."
After hearing Kuzan's story, Dragon and Zephyr looked at each other and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Is this still the world governnt we know?
"I see, no wonder Fleet Admiral Kong sent to the Sabaody Archipelago to be the base commander..." Dragon imdiately thought of his next job.
After being promoted to Vice Admiral this ti, he was directly appointed as the base commander of the Marine Branch stationed in Sabaody Archipelago. Kong's request was to strictly capture the pirates who arrived there and protect the fish-n and rfolk on the island.
There are also controls on the coating industry on the island, prohibiting the provision of services to pirate ships, clearing out slave trading clubs, arresting relevant criminals, and liberating and properly disposing of slaves. However, those slaves who were originally pirates need to be taken to Enies Lobby for trial...
However, Dragon accepted the order without any hesitation, because in his opinion, these were the most just things.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough"
Just as Kuzan was finishing recounting his recent experiences, Zephyr suddenly began to cough, a labored cough that reflected on his face how uncomfortable he felt, with labored breathing.
In fact, he had wanted to cough it out for a long ti, but he deliberately held it back because he didn't want to disturb Kuzan's speech. Now that Kuzan had basically finished speaking, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher Zephyr?"
"What's wrong with you?!"
The faces of everyone present changed drastically and they quickly asked worriedly. In fact, they had not seen Zephyr for a while since graduation. After all, everyone was busy.
"It's nothing, just a small problem, no need to worry. I'm much better now."
Zephyr's asthma finally stabilized. He took out a long breath and grinned. At the sa ti, he took out two white pills from his pocket and swallowed them with beer.
"Teacher, although I don't know dical skills, judging from your symptoms just now, it should be related to breathing. I think you should pay attention to it. I think you understand it yourself..."
Kuzan's words caused several people around him to nod their heads. Of course Zephyr himself knew what he ant. As a master of pure physical arts, he knew the relationship between breathing and combat power better than anyone else.
If a person cannot breathe smoothly, he will not be able to exert much strength at all. Even the essence of Seii Kikan is inextricably linked to breathing.
"Have I not already asked a doctor to prescribe dicine? It's just that this thing can provide good relief every ti an attack occurs, but it cannot cure it." Zephyr showed a slightly distressed look.
"I heard that if the asthma is more serious, you need to use so kind of hormonal spray to relieve it."
Kuzan rembered what happened before and said, "Since the doctors at our headquarters can't cure it, how about asking the doctors from the dical School in the Drum Kingdom to take a look?"
After hearing Kuzan's suggestion everyone began to discuss the feasibility of going to the Drum Kingdom. Because Zephyr couldn't be gone for long since he was in charge of training the recruits, he initially didn't want to go. It was not until Kuzan suggested using the environnt of Drum Island and its five thousand ters mountains as a special training camp that Zephyr agreed to go to the new dical School.
After discussing the next arrangents, everyone returned to their hos, except Kuzan and Dragon who stayed tacitly. They ca to the beach of the port together and looked at the huge warships moored under the moonlight and the silvery waves.
"I guess you have noticed the changes in the world governnt." Dragon said in a deep voice.
"Um."
Kuzan nodded and said with a smile: "I am also full of doubts, but with our current status, no matter how hard we think about it, we will never be able to get in touch with the truth. So I choose not to think so much and complete the task at hand first. I think one day we will know."
"Indeed, if you beco an admiral one day, you should have the opportunity to know more secrets. When the ti cos, I hope you can tell ." Dragon turned his head and said.
"Alalala~ Of course no problem."
Dragon continued: "I just recalled the stationing positions of us. I am at the Sabaody Archipelago, you are at Fish-man Island, Borsalino in the first half of the Grand Line and Sakazuki in the second half of the Grand Line. Do you see anything?"
Kuzan was puzzled. A clear image of the map of the Great Sea Route appeared in his mind, with four points of light, precisely where he and the others were.
"The World Governnt has established four checkpoints!"
...
Sabaody Archipelago, area GR66.
This is the base where the Marine branch is stationed on the island. The area next to it, GR62, is allocated to the Fish-Man Island Royal Army. Basically, the entire area 60 belongs to governnt departnts and the general public is prohibited from entering and leaving freely.
Dragon, who had just been promoted to Vice Admiral and appointed as the base commander, also spent the morning getting to know the facilities and personnel in the base. At the sa ti, he used his devil fruit ability to send an imperceptible wind around the island.
At this ti, he and the Right Minister of Fishman Island who had been invited were discussing the upcoming battle plan in the conference room.
Originally, the Sea Royal Army had no obligation to cooperate with the Navy, but this ti the mission involved rescuing the fish-n and rfolk, so Dragon invited him in. The latter had no objections but was slightly excited after hearing the content of the mission.
"Originally I should have requested the support of the Fish-n troops to the headquarters, but Lieutenant Commander Jimbei and his team have just arrived at Marineford and still need to adjust to life there..." Dragon expressed apologies to the Minister of the Right.
The Minister of the Right responded solemnly: "No, we should be the ones to thank the Navy for allowing us to participate in this liberation operation. If you have any orders, please don't hesitate to say them!"
"In that case, I won't be polite." Dragon nodded, stopped talking nonsense, went straight to the topic, looked at the map of Sabaody Archipelago on the conference table, and said: "I hope that the Sea Royal Army can sneak into the sea and cooperate with the warships to blockade the entire island, focusing on the No. 20 area in the lawless zone and the No. 50 area in the shipyard."
"Your task will be to pierce the hulls of any pirate or slave ship trying to escape by sea. If anyone falls into the water, prioritize rescuing the slaves and handing them over to the Navy. If they are Fish-n or rfolk, you can take them directly to the base of the Fishman Navy; we will not interfere."
After hearing this, the Minister of the Right felt that there was nothing wrong with what Dragon said, so he readily agreed and said: "Okay, leave it to us, I will make arrangents right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the eting room neatly. This made Dragon, who was working with fish-n for the first ti, begin to appreciate them a little, and at the sa ti he was more optimistic about the World Governnt's decision to allow fish-n to enter the navy.
"The arrest of the Slaver King has been announced. Those in the slave industry on the island should also be wary of my arrival, but no one would think of launching a clearing operation directly on the first day of taking office, right?"
Dragon turned his attention from the Minister of the Right and back to the map of Sabaody Archipelago. The smile on his face disappeared and beca expressionless.
Although this operation also included the shipbuilding and coating industries on the island, the main target was the lawless zone from Area 1 to Area 29.
These three areas are connected together and are filled with criminal gangs specializing in kidnapping and extortion. Areas 20 to 29 have the largest concentration of slave companies, slave shops and slave auction houses.
It is not difficult to imagine that these slave industries, which have been rooted in the island for at least a hundred years, would have a large number of ard personnel for security and surveillance, including experts.
But to Dragon, these are nothing. In his opinion, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of slowly arguing with him, it is better to get rid of it all in one day.
Chaos will inevitably occur in this process, but to remove such a cancer, how can we do it without taking heavy asures?
He felt that this was the reason why Kong sent him here to be the base commander. His strength and identity were enough to bear all the turmoil and revenge.
An ordinary Vice Admiral can't do that!
However, a piece of information given to him by Kong made Dragon cautious, even vigilant. He glanced at area No. 50 on the map.
"The forr Dark King of the Roger Pirates, Silvers Rayleigh..."
To be honest, Dragon didn't want to provoke such a strong enemy at this ti, but with his character, it was impossible for him to give up regulating the coating industry because of Rayleigh.
As long as the coating requirents of pirate ships are eliminated, they will not be able to go to Fish-Man Island, let alone enter the second half of the Grand Line. Most pirates will not have the opportunity to co into contact with Busoshoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki.
Although so pirates are able to understand and master Haki on their own, but this happens due to a coincidence or because they possess exceptional talent, but they are not the majority anyway.
If things continue like this, there will be fewer and fewer pirates in the waters of the 'New World'. Without a supply of new blood, the powers of the various pirate groups would stagnate, turning this place into a kind of prison.
But Dragon also knows that this prison is not strong now, because the strength of the four of them is not enough to seal the strength of those big pirates.
But everything has a beginning, just take your ti!
Soon, while the people on the Sabaody Archipelago were still living peacefully, and the managers of the underworld were discussing the impact of Dragon's arrival and how they should deal with it, warships sailed out one after another.
They did not imdiately encircle both sides of the Archipelago. Instead, they drove forward for a mile and then turned back to form a larger encirclent.
The soldiers of the Sea Royal Army are much simpler. They can just jump into the sea and spread out. According to Dragon's instructions, most of their troops are concentrated on the seabed in Area 20 and Area 50, while pairs of soldiers were in charge of other Areas.
[Bang!]
At the sa ti, the base door of the Marine Branch suddenly opened. Three Commodore wearing justice cloaks walked out first, leading a large number of marines behind them holding muskets and long knives, and quickly rushed in three directions!
What's interesting is that the previous black cat, and white cat are also among them.
