"The United Kingdom?!"

Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's idea for the United Kingdom was just a beginning. After hearing Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's next plan, Zephyr showed a little surprise on his face.

In recent years, Zefa has also been planning the future of the new navy.

It is obvious that the military government model of the New Navy cannot last long today. In a place like the New World, all countries face the huge threat of pirates. The powerful army of the New Navy is obviously of great attraction to these countries.

Relying on the flag of the new navy, their new navy can peacefully "plant flags" on most islands in the new world and expand its influence.

However, such a military government model cannot be applied in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Route.

In places like the East China Sea, there is a threat from pirates at sea, but pirates of that level in the East China Sea are nothing to be feared by some powerful countries, just like psoriasis.

The new navy's military government model obviously wouldn't work in a place like that, and the powerful countries didn't need to find a "father" to help them resist the invasion of pirates.

The reason why the World Government can be so successful in a place like the Four Seas is mainly due to the accumulation of historical reputation. Of course, the most important reason is the power of the Celestial Dragons and the Marine Headquarters.

Who wouldn't be terrified after seeing the annihilation of a non-member country in three years?

The world government's thundering measures can naturally deter all countries that attempt to break away from its control and make the citizens of these countries pay the heavenly gold obediently.

It is precisely because of this method of the World Government that the slave trade in this world will never disappear. The World Government must make it clear to everyone that the fate of violating the will of the World Government is "eternal slavery."

In the governance system of the World Government, everyone except the Celestial Dragons is a beast of burden.

However, the New Navy wants to compete with the World Government for the right to survive, but it cannot use the same method as the World Government.

Let's not talk about whether the World Government's "annihilation of a country in three years" behavior is in line with the original intention of Tsugokuni Yoriichi to establish a new navy. Just saying that with this way of doing things, why would the member countries of the World Government risk being liquidated by the World Government and join the new navy? !
Even if there is a possibility of a change of dynasty in this world, wouldn't it be better to wait until the day when the New Navy and the World Government decide the outcome before making their decision?

Therefore, the new navy must find another way out, and their path forward must not be the path the world government is taking now.

At this stage, Yoriichi Tsugakuni's idea is to use the World Government led by the Celestial Dragons and the pirates rampant on the sea as targets for internal unity.

First there was the name of the United Kingdom, and the new navy became the absolute military and political hub, binding all countries together firmly in the form of interest binding.

The World Government's influence in the New World is very weak, and pirates are a huge problem that plagues all countries in the New World.

Moreover, unlike the maritime environment of the Four Seas, the New World is the last sea area leading to the final island in the second half of the Grand Line. The pirates who can break in here are all masters from the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line.

Pirates who can move freely on the sea in such a harsh climate are definitely not something ordinary people can match. For civilians, even if they are given knives and guns, they may not be able to resist pirates of this level.

It is precisely because of this harsh maritime environment that the new navy has the soil to survive.

The reason why their new navy can continue to expand in places like the New World is actually due to the chaos in the New World. If it were in a place like the Four Seas, the development of the new navy would never be as rapid as it is now.

Although the people there were burdened with a heavy load of gold from heaven and were exploited by the domestic aristocracy, they could still live their lives. It was just that they lived a harder life. There was no need for them to follow the new navy and embark on a precarious path.

For the vast majority of citizens in the new world, living in danger of losing their lives from day to day is the norm, and the powerful new navy can provide protection for ordinary people.

When faced with a choice, people with shoes and people without shoes will choose completely different options.

Zephyr, who once held the high position of admiral of the navy for more than ten years, could understand these principles if he thought calmly. It was precisely because he understood these principles that he felt the future development of the new navy was so difficult.

Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's idea of ​​a "United Kingdom" has certain feasibility, but to be honest, Zephyr is not optimistic about it.

The people in the office at this time were all veterans of the new navy and the most trusted partners of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. Most of them had followed Tsugakuin Yoshiichi since the establishment of the new navy.

From the very beginning, the demands of Yuichiro Tsugakuni and his partners were relatively simple, with only three goals.

Completely eliminate the slave trade from this world; pull down the Celestial Dragons who treat the people as grass from the throne, and restore a certain degree of autonomy to the World Government; the last goal is to wipe out all the pirates.

However, with the vigorous development of the new navy, these "start-up teams" have become more and more mature after experiencing the baptism of reality, which makes them realize that simply clearing out the Celestial Dragons may not be able to resolve all current conflicts.

Even without the Celestial Dragons, the member states of the World Government all have their own administrative systems, and the kings still govern their countries according to their own wishes.

There are tens of thousands of countries in the world that can be named, and it is impossible to expect that the rulers of all kingdoms are wise and powerful. There are always some people who follow the path of the Celestial Dragons and exploit the lower class people in their own country for the sake of their own luxurious life.

When people are unhappy, they will try every possible way to change the status quo. They will just find a ship and gather a group of equally unhappy people, and a pirate group will be born.

In other words, even if the New Navy can completely eradicate the Celestial Dragons one day, if the framework of the World Government is not completely changed, the final result will probably not be changed.

It’s not that these senior officials in the new navy haven’t thought about the future development direction of the new navy, but the cruel reality and the status quo that is difficult to change force them to focus on the things in front of them for the time being and dare not think too deeply about it.

Believe in the wisdom of future generations.

Sometimes such thoughts would flash through Zefa's mind, and he selectively ignored some endogenous contradictions that might erupt in the future, putting the new navy on the slow lane of development.

If I walk slower, I think I'll be more stable, right?

Slow and steady, there is not such a close connection between the two, but most people subconsciously think that going slower will lead to more stability.

However, the appearance of Tsugumi Yoshiichirō put the new navy back on the fast track.

Yoriichi is very grateful to Zephyr because it was his and Kuzan's joining that helped the New Navy maintain its position until now.

Otherwise, during the time when Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was missing, the high-end combat power of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters would have overwhelmed the New Navy. The Five Elders would never miss such an opportunity and would completely destroy the New Navy.

Perhaps the lives of powerful men like Yixiao and Mihawk will not be threatened, but the New Navy as an organization will definitely collapse because of the death of Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

However, the arrival of Zefa and Kuzan maintained a delicate balance between the two sides' high-level combat capabilities.

With Admiral Kuzan at the peak of his powers, former Admiral Zephyr who has extensive connections in the headquarters, and the top warriors of the new navy, the Five Elders would not dare to act rashly even if Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was not there.

Zefa played an indispensable role in the stabilization of the new navy.

But he is different from Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Zephyr can only lead the new navy to a smooth landing, but Yoriichi Tsugakuni can lead the new navy to a higher level.

The upper limit of their strength determines that what they can do are different!

Although Zefa was pessimistic about Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's idea of ​​a united kingdom, he would not pour cold water on him at this time.

Now that Yoriichi has returned, all the senior officials of the new navy are excited. The vision of the United Kingdom also gives everyone a goal and direction to strive for in the future.

This is also the first step to regain prestige after Kuniyoshi came back. What Zefa can do is to find out the gaps and shortcomings for his disciple, and find ways to make the United Kingdom truly realized. After it is realized, he must try his best to resolve possible internal conflicts.

"Yuichirō, now that you're back, with you in charge of the new navy, it will take some effort to integrate the new world, but it won't be too difficult."

"What I want to know is what happens after the United Kingdom is established?!"

"Will it still be like the world government model, where member states will still have a high degree of autonomy and only need to pay dues on time?"

It is naturally impossible for Zefa to directly oppose his disciple, but he also needs to use some hints to let Tsugaru Yoshiichirō understand how terrifying the resistance they will face in the future is.

Deny the rulers' right to rule?
If this is the case, the World Government and its member states will be closely united.

Copy the model of the World Government to form the United Kingdom? Then their new navy is just a new naval headquarters, and these initial members of the new navy and their future families and descendants are just another group of Celestial Dragons.

Nothing will change at all!

"World Government?!"

"We certainly can't do it that way."

"After coordinating the new world and establishing the United Kingdom, a coalition government will be established."

"Let all citizens of the United Kingdom elect their own representatives to join the coalition government and form a new governance system."

"Then the laws of the United Kingdom shall be used to govern the country."

"If the United Kingdom is just a false facade like the World Government, then what's the point?"

When Tsugakuni Yoshiichi said this in response to Zefa's question, he didn't even hesitate. The idea of ​​a coalition government had been brewing in Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's mind several years ago.

If it weren't for the accident in Alabasta, the New Navy might have completed the coordination of the New World's forces by now.

But it doesn’t matter, there’s still time to start now!

"The people elect their own representatives? The laws that apply?"

"Are you planning to let the so-called coalition government directly participate in the management of the specific affairs of each member country?!"

"Isn't this a disguised way of depriving the aristocracy of the legitimacy of their rule?"

"With this approach, will there really be any country willing to join us?"

"Also, will this approach lead to greater unity on the part of the world government?"

"Those nobles should be very afraid of your United Kingdom and follow the World Government closely, right?"

Zefa finally couldn't help but speak out his concerns. His words also cooled down the originally heated atmosphere in the conference room. Kuzan was thoughtful after hearing this. In a short time, Kuzan had no way to resolve the contradiction Zefa mentioned. Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little cold, Kuzan smiled and said:

"Teacher Zefa, the matter of the United Kingdom is just an idea of ​​Yunyi for now. We can discuss the details when the time comes."

"Before we form the United Kingdom, shouldn't we unite the New World first? We still have time to complete this task first!"

Kuzan laughed, trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere in this way.

Upon hearing this, Zefa realized that he had spoken too quickly. He has been the top leader of the new navy over the years. Now that Yuanyi has returned, he has to hand over power. Zefa has no intention of seizing power. He is just discussing the matter at this moment.

Zefa is open-minded, but that doesn't mean he is ignorant of the ways of the world. Although Yuichi Tsugakure is his disciple, Zefa also knows that he should not offend Yuichi Tsugakure at this time.

Zefa, who had reacted, also realized his aphasia. He took the ladder handed over by Kuzan and said with a smile: "Haha, that's right."

"That's all for later. When Yunyi said he wanted to integrate the forces of the New World and fight against the rampant pirates, I absolutely supported that."

"Haha, if those pirates in the New World knew that Yoriichi was back, they would probably run away with their tails between their legs, hahaha!"

Zefa's words also livened up the atmosphere in the conference room.

When Ji Guoyuan saw Zefa change the subject, he immediately understood Zefa's concerns, smiled and shook his head, and couldn't help but sighed:
"Teacher Zefa, Kuzan, even though we haven't seen each other for a few years, there shouldn't be any need for us to be so formal with each other, right?!"

"The new navy is not just my new navy, it's the new navy for all of us."

"Don't worry about anything you want to say. Just discuss it openly. The more you discuss something like a system, the better it will be."

"I have deduced all the situations you just mentioned."

"The foundation for the new navy to gain a foothold is standing beside ordinary people."

"Whether it's attacking pirates or celestial dragons, the starting point has never changed."

“I know the resistance we face will be great, but this is the price we have to pay for change.”

"The nobles won't like us, but we don't need their likes either—"

"Besides, there is no need for our new navy to bear the pressure from the nobles head-on. Isn't there someone to help us share the burden?"

"Long, Mr. Cap's son, has caused quite a stir in the world over the years."

"Compared to them, our new navy is much more gentle. At least, our first priority is to eliminate pirates."

"Their main goal is to overthrow the existing nobles."

"Proper support for the dragons will allow them to let go and do their best. We just need to do what we are supposed to do."

"No matter what method or approach is used, it is impossible to be perfect, and the voices of opposition will never disappear."

“It is not easy to satisfy the vast majority of the people.”

"At least, let them not have to worry about survival for now."

What Tsugikuni Yoriichi said was very realistic, and he did not want to avoid the problem. In other words, he had actually thought about what Zefa was worried about.

then what should we do?

All we can do is fight.

From the outset, change has been a life-and-death matter.

From the beginning of establishing the new navy, Yoriichirō was ready to make the whole world his enemy.

At that time, he was even alone, but now he has so many partners together, and his strength is even far beyond before.

He was already fearless.

When Yunichirō said those words, his tone was calm, but Zephyr saw an indomitable fighting spirit in Yunichirō's eyes.

This disciple of his had already made up his mind and was mentally prepared.

Realizing this, Zefa smiled knowingly, and then he seemed to be unable to hold back his joy and burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha!"

"You haven't changed at all!"

"It's still the same Yoriichi Tsugikoku that I know!"

Zephyr was completely relieved. No matter where the new navy would be led by Tsugakuin Kokuei in the end, Zephyr did not regret leaving the Marine Headquarters at all.

He knew that hope lay in the new navy.
That night, Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his friends talked about their visions of the future world, the strange things they had seen in the holy land, and what they had seen and heard in Wano Country.

When talking about Wano Country, Yoriichi noticed that Koshiro's expression changed slightly, but his daughter Kuina was indifferent to the name of Wano Country.

I guess Kuina doesn't know that her family is made up of samurai from Wano Country.

In fact, Koshiro has no feelings for Wano Country. It was a long time ago when his ancestors came out of there. It's just that when Tsugakuni Yoriichi mentioned Wano Country, Koshiro couldn't help but think of his father who passed away some years ago.

I heard from my family that my father often went fishing on the coast during the last period of his life, but Koshiro knew that fishing was not his father's main purpose. He went to the coast just to sit quietly, looking towards the direction of Wano Country, thinking about his hometown.
When people get old, their only obsession is to go back to their childhood place to have a look. If Koshiro was not busy with his work, Kosaburo would probably want his son to bury him in his hometown.
Thinking of his father, Koshiro's mood became a little low, and he became less interested in chatting and discussing with his friends.

Kuina seemed to notice that her father was in a low mood, and she gently grabbed her father's arm and shook it with some surprise.

Zefa's conference room has now become a teahouse.

After talking about the main business, Yunyi started to chat with his friends who he hadn't seen for a long time. Yunyi also noticed that Koshiro was suddenly in a low mood. He was about to ask, but suddenly heard a chaotic noise outside the door:
"Hey, stop, the generals and lieutenant generals are having a meeting, you can't go in!"

Zefa is now considered the marshal of the new navy. Naturally, there are guards guarding the door of his office. After letting in some generals who were familiar with Yuichiro, he ordered the door to be closed.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Zefa realized that someone seemed to be trying to break in?

"Meeting?"

"Why is it a meeting?"

"Have you seen Mr. Mihawk? Has he been here?"

The sky was full of twinkling stars, and Yuichiro Tsugikuni and his friends had been chatting for quite a while.

Outside the door, Zoro tried his best to find the way back, but failed. Until he was taken back to the naval base by a kind person, he came to find Mihawk as soon as he came back. From Mihawk's expression when he left, he judged that there must be some uninvited guests on the Cake Island.

But when he came to Zefa, he was stopped by the lieutenant on duty.

Zoro was still worried because he didn't see Mihawk, and wanted to see Zephyr or Mihawk in person.

"Mr. Mihawk? He's in a meeting. What do you want to do with him so late at night? Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The lieutenant waved at Zoro, signaling him to leave.

But for a person like Zoro, how could he give up just like that unless he confirmed it with his own eyes?

"You two, please do me a favor and let me know that my name is Nonoroya Zoro."

"I want to see Mr. Zephyr or Mr. Mihawk in person."

"It's urgent!"

The dispute between Zoro and the two lieutenants on duty had already been known to everyone in the room.

Mihawk, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, froze when he heard Zoro's familiar voice and coughed lightly:
"I'll go out and take care of it."

But just as Mihawk was about to get up, Kuina, who heard the noise outside the door, rolled her eyes and continued:
"Mr. Mihawk, just sit down."

"I go."

After saying that, Kuina walked straight towards the door. Looking at his daughter who was acting in a hurry, Koshiro touched his cheek awkwardly.

"Nonoroa Zoro."

Yuichi Tsugakushi looked towards the door, and at this time, Kuina also opened a corner of the door and crawled out. She knew that the news of Yuichi Tsugakushi's return needed to be kept secret, so she didn't open the door much when she went out.

At this moment, Jiguo Yuanyi saw the young man with green algae hair outside the door.

“Growing up”

"New Navy, it's time for a new flag bearer."
