The migration work of Dr. Vegapunk and other scientific researchers on Egg Point Island is quite tedious.

Because the number of people and equipment that needed to be migrated was so large, the speed of the entire sea beast fleet became very slow.

This would also cause many other problems. The sailing time would be forced to be extended, and the fleet's supply work would not be able to continue according to the original plan. The amount of food and fresh water consumed by so many people would be enormous. Although all the ships' supply compartments were full before departure, that little bit of stuff alone could not sustain the fleet's consumption for such a long time.

It was a foregone conclusion that the route plan needed to be changed.

At the same time, the slow speed of the fleet also gave rise to another problem. In recent days, the New Navy International Headquarters has basically been able to confirm that Borsalino led the naval fleet to leave Marinford and head towards the New World.

Combining all the information they currently know, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi can be almost 100% sure that Borsalino and his people are coming for them.

As he expected, the Navy and the World Government had no intention of allowing Vegapunk to fall into the control of the New Navy.

It is foreseeable that when the two sides encounter each other, there will be another fierce battle.

Although Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's strength is above Borsalino's, and the vice admirals accompanying the team are unlikely to pose a threat to Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, this does not mean that the crisis can be easily resolved.

Borsalino has the nature-type Pikachu Fruit. If the opponent's primary goal is to destroy their fleet, even with the protection of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, it is probably impossible to protect everyone.

There is naturally no need to worry about the safety of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's own life, but Vegapunk and a group of researchers who are traveling with him may not be able to survive the interception of the Navy Headquarters intact.

However, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not spread this information. He did not want to cause panic among the people, which would be very detrimental to their march.

However, all the sailors on the Dawn warship were informed of this news by Tsugukuni Yoshiichi, so along the way, everyone was on high alert and did not dare to relax at all.

Even the night patrol posts were arranged in groups of four instead of two people, and the fixed communications every 20 minutes were shortened to 10 minutes. Any unusual movement in the fleet would immediately alert the new naval forces.

Of course, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi would not hide such news from Vegapunk. He was the most important person involved and must know what risks their new navy was taking.

Yunyi had no intention of repaying a favor. His starting point was to hope that Vegapunk could selectively discard some heavy instruments to speed up the march.

Vegapunk could naturally understand this, and after careful research and negotiation, he threw some of the easiest instruments to replicate and the ones with the simplest materials to obtain into the sea, hoping to speed up the fleet's march by reducing the burden.

But how could the instruments and equipment that could be taken out of Danjian Island be useless? There were very few things that could be discarded. Although the fleet speed had increased, the overall improvement was not significant.

Vegapunk has a very good mentality. From the day he contacted Yoriichi Tsugakuni and hoped that Yoriichi would take him away from Egg Island, he had already prepared himself for death.

After assisting Yoriichirō in reducing the burden on the fleet, Vegapunk focused on his research as usual.

For him, every minute and every second in life needs to be grasped tightly in the hands.

Boring sailing life?!

For Vegapunk, every day is a fulfilling scientific research life.

The important instruments that Vegapunk needed to study bionic humans were placed on the Dawn warship. After his temporary transformation, the cabin had been turned into a laboratory. Although he was a scientific research madman, Vegapunk was not a fool. He knew that staying with Yoriichi Tsugikuni was the safest.

Therefore, he never left the warship on the way to Fishman Island.

After sailing for nearly half a month, the fleet arrived at a place called "Changyun Island".

Changyun Island is one of the many islands under the control of the new navy. Before they came, it was "covered" by the Whitebeard Pirates.

The entire island looks just as its name suggests, like a long cloud, and has a spring island climate that is relatively rare in the New World.

The climate on the island is spring-like all year round. Although the permanent population is less than 100,000, it is an island mainly based on agriculture.

This was once an important supply island for the Whitebeard Pirates, and now it has become the lifeline of the new navy's supply source. The food exported from here accounts for 15% of the new navy's total supply.

This island is not on the straight line between Egg Point Island and Fishman Island, and its direction is actually a little off.

However, the fleet led by Jiguo Yuanyi had to come here to replenish the various supplies needed by the fleet. After leaving this island, it would take a long time for them to reach the next supply point.

A number of ships of various shapes slowly sailed into the port of Changyun Island, filling up the port, which was not very big to begin with, in an instant.

On the coast, the busy islanders all looked towards the sea, and their originally nervous mood relaxed after they saw the leading warship, the Dawn.

The flag flying on the Dawn warship is too familiar to the people on the island.

When they saw that it was a fleet of the new navy, the busy people on the shore just took a few more glances and then continued to do their own things, not caring at all.

"Robin, go to the island to purchase supplies. The fleet will stay on this island for a day and leave after replenishing supplies."

The fleet will enter the port at 1 p.m., so there is still plenty of time. If the procurement goes well, it can be completed in one afternoon.

This island has foreign grain trade. Although it is not the harvest season yet, it is not a problem to collect bulk cargo. It should be possible to purchase food for more than a dozen ships and hundreds or even thousands of people.

If we simply calculate based on rice, a person can eat at most 10 kilograms of rice in half a month. Scientific researchers have small appetites, so they probably can't finish this. The new navy has a large appetite, so this amount is not enough.

Among all the supplies that need to be replenished, vegetables, fruits and fresh water are actually the most important.

"Yes!"

Robin is a good logistic manager. After receiving the order from Yunyi, he led his men to disembark in a hurry. Vegapunk, who had been staying in the laboratory, seemed to have noticed that the fleet had stopped. He also walked out of the cabin, looked around the surrounding environment, and came to Yunyi's side. Looking at the coast, he asked Yunyi:

"Yuichi, where is this place?"

"What are we going to do here?"

Although Vegapunk had long since disregarded life and death, it did not mean that he did not cherish his own life. Seeing this unfamiliar scene, Vegapunk could not help but ask curiously.

"This is Changyun Island, one of the territories controlled by our new navy."

"We are stopping here to restock our supplies. Our route will be a little different from now on. We will not stop at other islands. We will go all out and sail directly to Fishman Island."

"We changed our route slightly to prevent ourselves from being blocked by the Malinford fleet."

Facing Vegapunk's question, Tsugukuni Yuichi nodded without any intention of hiding anything. After standing on the deck and gazing at the island not far away for a long time, Vegapunk walked into the cabin without saying a word.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Yuichirō's decision. It would be best if he could avoid the navy's interception.

But is it really that easy?

The New Navy determined early on that their enemy was the World Government, and they made many surveillance arrangements for the Sabaody Archipelago below the Holy Land.

On the other hand, would the World Government consider the New Navy that invaded the Holy Land as a partner? Of course it was impossible. They were also doing their best to infiltrate the islands controlled by the New Navy. It was not easy to take root in the Ten Thousand Nations, but it was easy for them to arrange intelligence personnel in other islands.

Not long after the sea beast fleet entered the port, on a floating raft near the sea, a square-faced man in his thirties who looked like a fisherman silently stood up from a small stool in front of the door, turned around and returned to the dim cabin behind him.

"Yes, it is definitely the Dawn warship, and there are more than a dozen large ships of different shapes accompanying it." "From a distance, it looks like a sea monster."

"I didn't see Yoriichi Tsugukuni, but I did see the warship Dawn!"

In the wooden house, the fishermen's whispers could be heard faintly. After a long time, the dark-skinned fisherman walked out of the wooden house and sat back on the small stool in front of the door seemingly casually. He looked towards the Dawn warship in the distance, with a deep sadness revealed between his brows.

"Deng deng deng-"

"Brother Anton, Brother Anton!"

"A new navy has landed on the island, and some are buying supplies at the market. Didn't you just get some fresh fish? Go sell it quickly. The navy doesn't want pickled fish, and the price they give is very fair!"

Just as Anton was looking at the warship in the distance with a worried look on his face, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded on the raft.

A girl in simple clothes ran up to his raft barefoot, slapped Anton on his broad shoulder and said urgently.

Anton had been on the island as a refugee for only a year, but with his down-to-earth and enthusiastic nature, he quickly became acquainted with the nearby fishermen. The one who came to see him was the daughter of Uncle Hei from the neighboring raft. Her name was Sunny, and she was 20 years old, which was considered an old girl in this world.

Although Suni is the daughter of a fisherman, Uncle Hei next door is extremely fond of his only daughter and never lets her do any heavy work. Although her skin is tanned to a light brown, she still has a pretty face and delicate hands, making her a village beauty.

Anton has a "gentle" temperament. Although he is a refugee, his conversation and knowledge are far beyond the reach of local farmers and fishermen. As he spends more and more time in contact with his neighbors, young Suni also develops a good impression of Anton, this honest neighbor.

Anton could sense Sunny's feelings for him, but he understood his identity. People like him would leave here one day, and even he himself didn't know when and how he would leave.

Therefore, I always keep a certain distance from Sunny's enthusiasm.

Although he is a CP, he is actually no different from most workers. He is even more miserable. Coming to the new navy's territory as an undercover agent is a life-or-death struggle for CPs. The reason why Anton came to such a place is not unrelated to his solid character.
"Sani."

When Anton saw Sani, the worry on his face disappeared without a trace, and a faint smile appeared on his face. However, this smile did not last long, and then turned into a faint bitter smile.

After calling the girl's name, Anton gently moved his wrist and broke free from Sunny's hand.

"Brother Anton? What are you standing there for? Why don't you hurry up?"

"The quantity purchased by the new navy must be limited. First come, first served!"

"Normally, fresh fish sold at the market won't fetch that much money. My father has already gone, why don't you hurry up?"

Sunny is a very honest person. Seeing that Anton didn't move, he reached out to grab his wrist again. However, when he got close, his little hand was firmly wrapped by Anton's big hands.

"Sani, I have pickled those fish. I can't sell them."

"Are you busy? Can you sit down and talk to me?"

There was a hint of anticipation and regret in Anton's eyes, but he hid his emotions pretty well and appeared calm on the surface.

"Ok?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sunny glanced at her hand which was held by Anton, a blush appeared on her light brown face, and she said shyly.

"Nothing, I just want to stay with you for a while"

Anton answered Sunny who loved him like this, but his heart was full of bitterness:
[I won’t have such an opportunity in the future. Haha, I probably won’t have such a chance in the future.]

From the day they became a couple, their fate was no longer in their own hands. Before today, Anton had endless fantasies about his future.

He also had a good impression of the enthusiastic girl, Suni, and was thinking of finding an opportunity to finish his work. If possible, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with the girl who was with him now.

However, the cruel reality finally pulled him out of that dream.
[Find a way to destroy the new navy ship, or poison the crew. ]

[Use whatever means necessary to delay the departure date of the new navy.]

This was the new order given to Anton by his superiors after he reported the movements of the Dawn warship to his superiors.

From the moment he received this order, Anton knew that he and Sunny had no future.

"Brother Anton, what's wrong with you?"

"You look a little strange today, what happened?"

Sunny familiarly brought out a small stool from the room and sat next to Anton. Anton didn't say anything, just looked at the sea and stayed quietly with Sunny.

Women's intuition is sometimes really sensitive. For some reason, Sunny's heart skipped a beat. She reached out and gently grabbed Anton's wrist, and asked softly.

"No, what can I do?"

"I just want to thank you so much, thank you for taking care of me, and thank you Uncle Hei, thank you Uncle Hei for taking care of me."

"Thank you so much, Sunny"

Anton shifted his gaze away from the distant warship and turned to look at the sea. At the same time, he reached out and gently pressed on the back of Sunny's hand, whispering in a deep voice.

He wanted to imprint the beautiful scenery of the sea firmly in his mind and wanted to remember the time he spent with Sunny in his heart.

The sun was setting, and the blood-red sunset dyed the sea surface red.

Sunny has left. She is going back to prepare dinner for her father. Before leaving, she also invited Anton to have dinner with her, but he refused.

Anton stood up, stretched, and walked back to the wooden house behind him with heavy steps.

Putting on the black suit that was at the bottom of the suitcase again, Anton looked at himself in the mirror, his expression becoming firm and resolute.

Poisoning? The new navy's quartermaster might not be that stupid.

There is only one path left for him, from beginning to end, isn't it?
The bright moon rises over the sea.

Under the moonlight, a black shadow jumped off the raft, dived into the sea, and swam rapidly towards the sea monster ship in the distance.

In the cabin of the warship Dawn, Tsugumi Yoshiichi was sitting at his desk, carefully examining the nautical chart on the table and planning the route to Fishman Island.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, slowly raised his head, and murmured softly.
