One hour later, south of Vera Island.
The revolutionary army's ship gradually sailed away, and Long stood at the stern. He was still thinking about what Ji Xing had said to him before, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
To be honest, he still doesn't think it's true until now. Who would have thought that Dunant Isbadry, who held Mary Joa's hands to free the slaves, could be the same person as Hollo, the world's greatest swordsman?
He even dared to break into Mariejoia without even using a sword, but he was still able to defeat Commander Sora and seriously injure Admiral Kizaru. What's more important is that he is only 20 years old. If he is a middle-aged man, he has such an accumulation. There is some rationality, and he...has mastered everything since before he was born?
But precisely because of this, no one would think that these two people are the same person...
Upon seeing this, a soldier from the Revolutionary Army approached and asked with some expectation: "Chief, was your invitation to that person successful or..."
“Failed.” Long regained consciousness and said.
"Is it true..." the Revolutionary Army soldier couldn't hide his disappointment: "It's better to look for traces of the blasphemer. It's more reliable to invite him."
The strange meaning in Long's eyes flashed away, and he nodded and said: "For the next period of time, most of our activities in various places will be temporarily cancelled, and we will concentrate on looking for traces of the blasphemers."
“…cancel the event?”
"The two Four Emperors were defeated, and the Blasphemer and Holo became famous one after another. I can feel that the world has reached a point of change." Long said calmly: "I need more time to see clearly what the revolutionary army will do next. Everyone has worked **** the way down, so take some rest and come to the headquarters in batches for certain special training."
"Is this so...I understand, leader, where to start..."
Long responded, but what echoed in his mind were Ji Xing's previous words: 'If the world government suddenly collapses, are you confident that the sea area will calm down as quickly as possible? Are you confident that you can make life better for all races and nations? Do you have the confidence not to become another world government? ’
Long asked himself, he had little confidence.
But he heard an astonishing plan from Ji Xing's questions and saw the dawn of revolution. He had to cultivate and find confidence even if he didn't have confidence!
…
“Of course I refused.”
On the other side, Ji Xing, who had seen off the revolutionary army, welcomed Kizaru, "This is not the first time we have met, General Kizaru, you know me. I didn't even join the Red Haired Pirates. If you don’t want to get too involved in the battle in the country, how could you possibly join the revolutionary army?”
Kizaru, who had met Ji Xing for the third time but only thought it was the second time, looked at the smiling Ji Xing in front of him. His mood was slightly different, but his expression and tone were still the same as before.
“Well~ The world’s greatest swordsman, I believe you will not join the revolutionary army, but my opinion is not that important~ The five old stars of the World Government are going to talk to you personally. Do you need to prepare in advance how to explain to them?”
"Explanation...there's nothing to explain." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Now?"
Kizaru took out the phone bug.
“That’s an anti-phone bug.”
“Oh~ I made a mistake again~”
The correct phone number was quickly connected, and Sengoku's voice came from the other side: "Kizaru... no, is it Holo? I'm Sengoku."
"Marshal of the Warring States Period." Ji Xing responded: "Didn't you say that Wulaoxing wanted to speak to me personally?"
“Ah, I am in the holy land of Mariejoia. The next person to talk to you is the Supreme Ruler of the World Government, Saint Goribachio among the Five Elders.
In addition, although I am two and a half days late, I still want to apologize to you for the dereliction of duty of the Navy and the World Government. I did not notice in advance that the two Yonko left the New World, which put you in danger. "
“Aren’t they the ones in danger?”
In Holy Land Marie Joa, Sengoku's expression was stagnant and he smiled: "Yes, they are the ones who are in danger. Until now, I still can't believe that you can defeat the two of them by yourself!
Okay, I'll hand over the phone bug to Saint Goribachio... Well, be mentally prepared. Saint Goribachio will ask you some questions, but you are free to choose whether to answer them. "
The fat old man with a bald head and a white beard took the phone call and glanced at Seng Guo. Seng Guo had been a bit rebellious recently. He was secretly reminding the other party of something. Should he prepare to replace him?
Looking at the four people around him, he said to the phone bug: "Holo, I have heard of your name a long time ago. It was me who promoted you from Xiaochao Village Sheriff to Chaochao Island Chief Sheriff. Arrangement. First of all, congratulations on your victory in the battle against two pirate emperors."
“Hello, Saint Golibaqiao.” Ji Xing replied: “Thank you for giving me the promotion.”
…that's all?
Let's talk about old friendship first, and then congratulations. As a Celestial Dragon, Golibaqiao Sheng is already very relieved, but the attitude of the other party is more calm than he expected.
After a pause of three seconds, he said in a deep voice: "As the Warring States Period said, I have a few questions to ask you. You had private contact with one of the most vicious criminals in the world, the Revolutionary Army Dragon, right? Did he invite you to join the Revolutionary Army?"
"It was invited, but I didn't agree. I don't like the behavior of the revolutionary army. I also warned him by the way. Forget it if he didn't see it. If I encounter the revolutionary army causing trouble in some countries, I will not show mercy." Ji Xing said.
In line with his previous performance... Golibaqiao Sheng thought for a moment and said: "Why didn't you cooperate with the dark horse Tiancheng to capture the revolutionary dragon? Don't use the dragon's strength as an excuse anymore. The dragon is no better than two pirates. The emperor is stronger."
"Why should I cooperate?" Ji Xing asked in surprise from the other side: "I am just the police officer of Tidal Island. Outside of Tidal Island, I am free to move, right? If I encounter a criminal, I will arrest him. I also met Hong before. Hair, white beard..."
"These are two concepts!" St. Goriba Qiao interrupted with a louder voice. He paused for another three seconds, saw the gestures made by several other people, and said: "Forget it, let this matter go away for now. You said you just Sheriff of Tidal Island, if the world government wants to give you greater responsibilities, are you willing to take it on?"
“Unwilling.”
…”
Don’t think about it for a second?
Golibaqiao Sheng took a deep breath, his eyes calmed down a little, and said: "Jolo, let me ask again, did you really not join the revolutionary army?"
"No." Ji Xing replied: "But there are some things I can say directly. Long described a lot of 'the dark side of this world' when he persuaded me.
I don’t fully believe it and I won’t fully believe it. Crocodile and Doflamingo also make me have some doubts about the world government that launched the Shichibukai policy. I do not like the actions of the Revolutionary Army, but this does not mean that I like the World Government, so it is enough for me to be a Tide Island Sheriff. I have no intention of joining the World Government or the Navy. "
Goliba Qiaosheng fell silent and exchanged glances with the other four people, while Warring States let out a sigh of feeling.
Straightforward and self-centered.
This might make Wu Laoxing unhappy, but Warring States felt that it would not be a big problem. Even Wu Laoxing would not provoke a man of that strength just because he disliked it.
On the contrary, if he is secretive and hides his secrets with respect on the surface, he is more likely to arouse fear and suspicion, and even take action and target.
Sure enough, after some tacit eye contact, Holy Goriba Qiao just snorted: "Young man, don't become frivolous when you have some strength. This world is broader than you think. There is no world government and Tianlong people. , this world would have fallen into destruction long ago.
Forget it, since you have no intention of getting promoted and we won’t force it, then... Let’s move on to the next question. You grew up in Xiaochao Village on Tidal Island, but why did you never show great power before you were 18 years old? According to the information, it was only six months after you served as a guard in Xiaochao Village that you showed something unusual for the first time. "
"Well... there is no comparison. I didn't know how strong I was at one time. Only after fighting Hawkeye once did I know that my strength was pretty good." Ji Xing replied, "So I was more cautious before."
“...” Saint Golibacho was silent and continued to ask.
There is nothing to say about the following conversation. The first conversation between Ji Xing and Wu Laoxing ended calmly.
On Vera Island, Ji Xing returned the hung-up phone bug to Kizaru. Kizaru sighed: "It's so scary~ He is worthy of being the newly promoted strongest in the world. Facing the supreme power of the world government, Mr. Wu Laoxing, he also So cold and direct."
“If you are really cold, I should not even make a call.” Ji Xing smiled and said: “It seems calm and calm, but in fact I am trembling.”
“Stop lying~”
"Hahaha... Admiral Kizaru, is the Navy warship escorting Kaido arriving soon? Do you mind if I take a free ride?"
…
A few days later.
After Wu Laoxing communicated with Ji Xing, Morgans finally got the agreement and couldn't wait. He sent out all the news birds to publish the biggest news as quickly as possible.
‘Two pirate emperors were defeated! One person escaped with serious injuries, and one person was detained by the navy! ’ ˆ ˆ ‘The world situation has changed dramatically! ’
The news that Ji Xing defeated two pirate emperors one against two spread rapidly throughout the sea area with no less impact than when the blasphemers came to the Holy Land Mariejoa to massacre the Celestial Dragons!
Shocking everyone for a hundred years.
The pirates and navy were shocked by how powerful he was, one against two. The ordinary people were shocked and even more excited and happy. They only hoped that there would be more people like the Blasphemer and the world's greatest swordsman, Holo, to make the world a better place. More peaceful and stable.
New World, Ten Thousand Kingdoms, Cake Island.
There was deathly silence in Bigmom's castle. Katakuri was holding the newspaper tightly, unable to calm down, and the others had fear on their faces.
Ten days ago, my mother went out riding Kaido and disappeared, but she was seriously injured and unconscious a week ago and was carried back by Zeus. Later, Zeus also fell into silence due to excessive consumption and damage, so that they were still unclear about what happened, and they were once suspicious. Mom and Kaido found a place to fight.
I never expected it to be like this.
“Is it fake? The navy’s newspaper must be exaggerated!”
“Yes, someone else must have intervened!”
“It must be a navy conspiracy!”
Katakuri looked at his uneasy younger brothers and sisters chattering away, but he knew in his heart that this matter would probably not be a lucky one.
The invincible mother meets an even more invincible man, shattering her halo. This may be an opportunity to get everyone out of the mother's shadow.
He thought back to the 'Jolo Ji Xing' that gave him this idea two and a half years ago, and then looked at the 'Jolo' in the newspaper, and felt that this was really a weird fate... Was it God's arrangement?
…
Mobidi.
"Ku la la la la—that little swordsman who came with the red hair..." Whitebeard's laughter contained a little more sadness and memories. Such an amazing talent reminded him of the former captain, the one named Rocks man.
Marco next to him was even more silent. After a while, he said, "Dad, I've seen that guy before. Is this newspaper... really not exaggerated?"
“What, Marco, you don’t want to admit that someone more powerful than dad might have appeared?”
“No, but…”
"Kulalala...I am already a remnant of the old era." Whitebeard smiled: "If there is no man who surpasses me and Roger in the new era, this sea will be boring!"
He picked up the newspaper and read it again. He felt a little strange in his heart. He was not questioning the authenticity of the news, but...it shouldn't be him. The man Roger was talking about shouldn't be him. He's not D...
never mind. Whitebeard temporarily dispelled his doubts and looked up at Yamato who popped up in the corner. His casserole-sized fists clenched reflexively.
…
Red-haired territory.
“According to Holo, who had been practicing silently on the island, he didn’t know how powerful he was until he met the former world’s greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk…”
Reading this paragraph in the newspaper, the red-haired man laughed loudly: "As expected of Holo, I can imagine his tone when he said this."
The cadres also thought of it and burst into laughter: "Speaking of which... it's really scary."
“Being able to defeat Kaido and Bigmom, does that mean he can also defeat the two bosses?”
“Maybe we can hit three?”
“Hey, have some confidence in the boss, two and a half is the most!”
"Hey, hey, you guys." The red-haired man shook his head helplessly and smiled again: "It's really amazing. Get ready to set sail! Go to the Grand Line to find the newly promoted World's Strongest Man and ask him to buy us a drink!"
"oh-"
The atmosphere became jubilant.
‘I don’t know what Hawkeye’s reaction will be when he sees the news. ’ the red-haired thought.
…
Hawkeye didn't react at all.
Boni had a great reaction.
On a certain island in the South China Sea, a woman with a big stomach pointed at the newspaper with an exaggerated expression: "Hey, can't you?! He barely managed to beat you in one move before we parted ways, but now...could it be that you, too..."
"It was my swordsmanship that defeated me in one move. If it were a real battle, I would have been no match for him a year ago." Watching Ji Xing improve step by step, he is most accepting of Ji Xing's record. That is completely outrageous!
…
On another island in the South China Sea, Eustace Kidd, a cute new pirate with a red hedgehog head who had just gone to sea, crumpled the newspaper into a ball with a grin: "Is it the strongest in the world? The Grand Line Tidal Island, then it's decided, enter Go there first after the Grand Line!”
On a small island in the East China Sea, a green algae-headed pirate hunter who had also just left the sea stared at the words 'The World's Greatest Swordsman' with a light in his eyes.
“Isn’t it Hawkeye Mihawk anymore? There is a clear address, it’s easier to find this time!”
On Cocoyasi Island in the East China Sea, Nami stared at the man's photo in the newspaper with wide eyes, as if she saw Bailey: "I found you!"
On a certain island in the Western Sea, Godfather Capone Becky, holding a cigar in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, put the newspaper into the body castle, and asked his younger brother to pass it around.
“The Sheriff of the Tidal Islands of the Grand Line? This kind of guy should stay far away.”
The Mobile Kingdom of the North Sea, Germa 66.
Leader Jia Zhi stared at the newspaper and couldn't help but feel excited: "One against two, defeated two monsters?! This guy's blood factor must be different from others. If you can get it..."
…
…
Some people read the newspaper with pure admiration.
Those who want to challenge and become famous.
Someone with evil intentions.
There are also those who simply want to experience things.
Thousands of postures and expressions, just to name a few.
Unlike the 'Unknown Swordsman', it would be a joke to use the 'Unknown Swordsman' after defeating two Yonko one against two. Holo, the world's greatest swordsman and the strongest man, not only He is famous, and once he becomes famous, he becomes famous all over the world!
This news expanded at an alarming speed, bringing various impacts to the entire sea. The first place to become confused was the tidal islands.
The residents on the island also read the newspaper, and they were all dumbfounded after reading it, Holo? Which Holo?
Won the Yonko? Which Yonko? two?
This newspaper...Why can’t people understand it?
Abbe and others are busy. Not only do they have to receive inquiries from different people every day, but they also have to be strictly vigilant about everyone who lands on the island.
Fortunately, this kind of life only lasted for three days. Abe's high-pitched voice rang out in Xiaochao Village: "Boss! You are back!"
