Chapter 499 Give me a favor! (1 in 2)

The content of the letter that Tsugumi Yoshiichi sent to Shanks through Vergo was actually very simple, or it could be condensed into one sentence: Please give me a favor!
Yoriichi hopes that Shanks can help Vergo and others with their investigation, and make good use of their identity as "pirates" to do something when necessary.

From his words, it seems that he doesn't treat Shanks as an outsider at all. Shanks can judge this from the words in the letter from Yoriichi.

Tsugikuni Yuichi's values ​​were not affected by Marinford's extreme atmosphere, and he had his own standards for judging what was good and what was bad.

The group of pirates is simply too large. It would be too much work for the navy to kill all of them in one fell swoop.

Yoriichi simply divided the pirates into four categories.

The first type is pure pirates who are driven by desire and power. The second type is "passive pirates" who are stigmatized by the World Government but do not take any actual actions to harm ordinary people. The third type is ambitious pirates and adventurers who use the name of pirates to realize their ideals. The fourth type is ordinary people who are violated, driven, and forced to go out to sea to become pirates.

Different motivations for going to sea lead to huge differences in the behavioral logic of pirates.

In this world, there is the pure black who enjoys killing and destruction, there is the gray who has some sanity left and wanders between white and black, and there is the pure white who bears the name of pirate just to realize his personal ambitions and dreams.

In fact, Yoriichi Tsugikuni has no idea what the ultimate goal of Shanks and his gang is.

The Red Hair Pirates are not as innocent and "pure white" as the Straw Hat Pirates, nor are they as extreme and pure black as the Blackbeard Pirates. If you have to say, the Red Hair Pirates are gray.

In their various behavioral logics, we can see the fierce and unreasonable side of pirates, but we can also see the warm and friendly side of Shanks and others.

For Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his new navy, if all the pirates in the world were like the Red Hair Pirates, there would probably be fewer disputes.

Although their relationship with "Justice" is not close at all, the appearance of the Red Hair Pirates can bring stability to an area.

Yunyi knows a little about Shanks. Although this guy is free and easy, his values ​​are not distorted, and he will not rely on his powerful strength to unlimitedly satisfy his desires.

When Yoriichi wrote this letter, Zephyr and the others had not yet landed on Fishman Island. In Yoriichi's opinion at that time, the person who might be able to help Vergo and the others successfully break the impasse might be Red-Haired Shanks.

However, the development of the world is often not what humans can predict.

"Captain, why did that Tsugumi Yuichi write to you?!"

After reading the letter, Shanks folded it up and stuffed it back into the envelope, then threw it casually on the table, as if he didn't take Yoriichi's words to heart.

Seeing this, Jesus glanced at the envelope on the table and asked curiously. When he asked this question, Ben Beckman and Lachi Lu and other crew members also looked at Shanks with excitement.

It's Yuichi Tsugikoku.
Things are different now. He is now the emperor of the sea who reigns over the New World and is regarded as the biggest threat by the World Government.

"do what?!"

"Nothing to do."

"Someone is already doing it, there's no need for us to get involved."

Shanks picked up the bottle, took a sip of wine, gently wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile.

All Nations, Cake Island.

The new naval headquarters was paying close attention to everything that happened on Fishman Island. After receiving the message from Vergo, Yixiao also talked about this matter with Kong and Yuichiro.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

Yixiao, who was covered in sweat, walked to the rest area nearby with his wooden sword in hand. He talked to the people beside him about the situation on Fishman Island while wiping his sweat with a towel:

"What we can be sure of now is that Mr. Zefa must have some important information."

"But Jinbe and Vergo know very little information."

"A captain in the branch has disappeared, and Lieutenant Peacock, who was monitoring that captain, has also lost contact."

"The missing captain is called Arlong. He was the leader of the previous conflict with the Red Hair Pirates."

"Could it be that he was secretly attacked and killed by the Red Hair Pirates? And also killed the witness, Lieutenant Peacock?"

Yixiao didn't know much, and could only rely on inferences and guesses about the various events on Fishman Island. From his perspective, Fishman Island was shrouded in mystery, and there were few clues to many of the events.

"Along."

"Killed by the Red Hair Pirates?"

"Haha, no way."

Beside Yixiao, Jiguo Yuichi shook his head gently, smiling and rejecting Yixiao's guess. Unlike Yixiao who was sweating all over, Jiguo Yuichi didn't show any signs of sweating at all. The previous sparring between the two didn't seem to have consumed Yuichi's energy.

As he spoke, Yunyi gently placed the wooden sword on his shoulder and looked out at the blue sea in the distance.

The information he knew was basically the same as Yixiao's, but compared to Yixiao, Yunyi knew more about the people in the Red Hair Pirates.

"If the Red Hair Pirates had killed him, the body would have been found long ago."

"They will not hide their actions. They will not do things like killing people and hiding their bodies."

As he spoke, memories that had been sealed away for who knows how many years suddenly emerged from the depths of Tsugumi Yoriichi's brain.

Aaron
This name is like a key to open the memory box.

"Captain Aaron."

"That Captain Aaron, he was also from Fishman Street, right?"

"Umm shark fish man right?"

There was a hint of reminiscence in Yunyi's eyes, and he murmured.

"Ok?"

"As expected of you, you even have an impression of a captain of a branch?"

"You really know everything about your subordinates!"

When he suddenly heard the accurate information about Captain Arlong from Yunyi's mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned even though he was smiling. In the conversation with Yunyi just now, although he said that Arlong was a captain, he did not reveal the information that Arlong was born in Fishman Street and was a shark fishman.

These things were also the information he learned from the files when he was getting to know the whole story of the Fishman Island incident in depth.

Unexpectedly, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni, who had been in a high position for many years, could actually tell the other party's accurate information off the cuff.

"Not really, this person is just a little special."

The moment when Tsugumi Yoshiichi confirmed the identity of "Captain Arlong" from Issho's mouth, the Fishman Island incident gradually became clear from Tsugumi Yoshiichi's perspective.

Can a dog change its habit of eating shit?
If they are trained artificially from an early age, it is possible.

So can Aaron be a good person?

I'm afraid it's not as easy as you imagined.

Yuan Yi doesn't have any stereotypes about people, but he has a clear understanding of human nature.

It's not easy to change a person.

He had never been able to change his brother in his previous life. Now that he had come to this world, how could he believe that his new navy could easily change someone like Aaron?
"Fishman Street"

"King Neptune's internal affairs management is really lax."

"After all these years, places like Fishman Street are still allowed to exist."

"Extreme poverty is sometimes more terrifying than pirates." Although Fishman Island is prosperous, the gap between the rich and the poor is still relatively large. Fishman Street is synonymous with poverty.

Although a group of young people with ideals have emerged in this place, more people have chosen other paths due to poverty and lack of education.

King Neptune can be considered a wise man, but his administrative level is really worrying.

In other words, the administrative level of most countries in the world is worrying.

This is a blind spot that the deeply rooted royal thinking cannot reach.

Princess Otohime holds in her heart the noble ideal of "harmonious coexistence of humans and fish-men", but she also ignores the fish-men of Fish-Man Street who are still struggling for survival in the country.

Isn't it ironic that Princess Otohime died in the assassination of the fishmen in Fishman Street?
"Yuichi, what do you think about what happened on Fishman Island?"

"Our new navy has gradually gained a foothold in the New World. Next, we should prepare to expand our influence to the first half of the Grand Line, right?"

"You are so concerned about the situation on Fishman Island. Do you have any plans?"

Jinbei sensed a hint of different emotions from Yoriichi's expression and tone, and asked.

“Communication is essential if the power of change is to be transmitted.”

"Our new navy has never interfered in the governance of Fishman Island. This situation needs to change."

“Otherwise, our influence will not extend beyond the new world.”

"King Neptune has not been able to prove his administrative ability. In my opinion, he is no longer fit to be the king of Fishman Island."

Yunyi's eyes were deep and he said these words out of the blue. His words also made Yixiao, who had always been thinking closely with Yunyi, suddenly change his expression.

"Fishman Island is a member of the World Government, and King Neptune's family has led Fishman Island for a thousand years!"

"Fishman Island has always been well governed. Although there are some minor flaws, it is undeniable that King Neptune is a wise monarch, isn't he?!"

Yixiao had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong with what Jigoku Yuanyi had just said.

Since the establishment of their new navy, they have overthrown the royal rule of a country, but the monarchs and royal families they overthrew were all tyrants with numerous atrocities. Their actions are inherently covered by a sense of justice.

But from Tsugakuni Yoriichi's tone, it seems that he is planning to overthrow the royal family of Fishman Island?!

Overthrow the wise King Neptune and the kind Princess Otohime?

This was beyond Yixiao's imagination, and for a moment he was unable to keep up with Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's pace.

The difference in people's thinking often becomes apparent at times like this.

Although Yixiao is knowledgeable, his thoughts are shaped by this world. He now holds a high position in the new navy and holds unparalleled power, but in his opinion, it is still natural for the royal family to rule the people.

Just as Alabasta needs a Princess Vivi who cannot protect their safety; Fishman Island needs a daughter Neptune; and Wano Country needs a general Momonosuke who has been wandering abroad for decades before crying and picking up his country.

Nika, who was able to beat the drum of liberation, actually liberated nothing.

"Yixiao, why are you acting so surprised?"

"If it's not done well, shouldn't it be changed?"

"After so many years of running Fishman Island, if he can't even take care of the slums like Fishman Street, why can't such a king be replaced?!"

"Even in the world still ruled by Big Mom, you probably won't find any slums, right?"

"Neptune...isn't he even worse than Big Mom?"

"Don't ignore their mediocre nature because of their kindness."

"When running a country, mediocre monarchs are not allowed to appear."

Facing Yixiao, Jiguo Yuanyi did not hide his true feelings. He withdrew his gaze from Yuanhai, glanced at Yixiao and continued:

"A smile, a country needs a leader."

"But does the leader have to be from a certain tribe?"

“Whoever does well gets promoted. Isn’t that reasonable?”

"But the people of Fishman Island should also have the power to choose who will lead them forward, right?!"

"I have already contacted Vegapunk. He is very interested in Fish-Man Island and promised me to develop Fish-Man Island well."

"In recent years, he has entrusted our new navy to collect historical data. His little tricks seem to have been noticed by the World Government."

"He feels very insecure right now. Although I can bring him directly to Wanguo, his scientific research requires a venue and a wide sea area for experiments."

"The industry here in Wanguo has basically taken shape. If we make large-scale changes, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

"Instead of this, it is better to redevelop a piece of 'white land'."

"Fishman Island is deep under the sea. The power of the World Government cannot affect Fishman Island."

"Put him on Fishman Island. He'll be able to protect himself."

"Moreover, with his abilities, he should be able to bring a new look to the lives of the people of Fishman Island."

"In just a few years, Fishman Island will probably become the most developed country in the world!"

As Jiguo Yuanyi said this, he put away the wooden sword in his hand and walked towards the office building in the distance. He smiled and watched Jiguo Yuanyi's slowly leaving back, without saying a word for a long time.

Yunyi's words kept echoing in his mind, and he tried his best to digest the information that Yunyi had said.

It is impossible to change his mind in a short time.

But Yixiao is a person who is good at thinking. If he can't figure out the reason, then he can just look at the possible results.

Fishman Island is under the rule of Neptune and his wife. After 30 years, perhaps there will not be any major changes. Will the people become more prosperous? Not necessarily.
If we could become rich, we would have become rich long ago.

So what if, as Yoshiichi said, Fishman Island is handed over to Vegapunk?

Yixiao had been to Egghead, where the prototype of a future city already existed. On that island, Yixiao saw many cutting-edge technologies that he had never seen before.

As long as you put in the raw materials, you can automatically make clothes, machines that make food, and various robots.

It is conceivable what changes will be brought to people when those things are integrated into human life.

They have introduced some equipment and instruments to process food, clothes and shoes. Now their new navy uniforms are all made by machines, and the materials are also the special materials newly developed by Vegapunk, which are flame retardant, breathable and sweat-absorbent.

Compared with previous years, Wan Guo is much more prosperous today.

When he thought about the development that Fishman Island would achieve after welcoming Vegapunk, the worry on Yixiao's face couldn't help but dissipate a little.

"Is this your plan, Yunyi?"

"It turns out that the Tianlong people were just one of your many targets from the beginning."
