"I just plan to clean up some garbage that needs to be cleaned up."

It sounded like a trivial statement, but considering the asura scene before him, Rayleigh couldn't relax at all.

Rubbish
Are you referring to these people?
Rayleigh looked around and pondered for a moment:

"It's too much to just treat it as garbage cleaning."

Even Rayleigh had never seen such a scene. There were thousands of pirates gathered on the beach for a banquet, but so many people had all become dead under the sword of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and very few were able to escape.

Rayleigh could hardly imagine that such a decisive measure was taken by someone like Tsugikoku Yuichi. This was not the first time Tsugikoku Yuichi and Rayleigh had met, and he was very impressed by this young man. The gentleness that emanated from within was simply impossible to fake.

It was because Roger saw the gentleness emanating from Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's bones that he entrusted his son to him, and at the moment when his life was about to come to an end, he also used his own life to "carry the sedan chair" for him.

But now it seems that Tsugikoku Yuichi is a little different from what he was back then.
"What does this say?"

"Cleaning up garbage is just cleaning up garbage. Cleaning up is the goal. How can there be any difficulty?"

"They are nothing more than pirates. If they live, they will only bring trouble and disaster to ordinary people who live a decent life."

Ji Guoyuanyi looked indifferent and did not feel any psychological discomfort because of the killing spree. When a person has a clear goal, the mental defense line will naturally become impeccable.

Rayleigh's words, which were somewhat morally blackmailing, had no effect at all on Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

As he spoke, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also looked at Straw Hat Luffy, who was protected by Rayleigh and Kozuki Oden. After not seeing him for a long time, Luffy had indeed grown up a lot. Although there was still some immature boyishness on his face, the aura he exuded was many times stronger than before.

Although he is young, he can already be called a "strong man". His growth rate is so fast that even Yoriichi Tsugumi is a little surprised.

"Is your target Luffy?"

Rayleigh noticed Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's gaze, and he took a few steps to block Luffy behind him, and asked in a serious voice.

As smart as he was, at this moment he vaguely guessed the purpose of Jiguo Yuanyi's visit. At the same time, Rayleigh couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

He thought Ji Guoyuan came for the great secret treasure.

But in his opinion, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni has never been the kind of person who would be interested in great secret treasures.

Rayleigh has been paying attention to Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's various movements in recent years. In addition to feeling that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi is a sailor who really gets things done, he also vaguely feels that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi may be able to become their help in the future.

For this reason, Rayleigh even admired Roger's sharp vision at that time.

However, Rayleigh had no way of knowing everything about Yuichiro Tsugakuin. He could only speculate about Yuichiro Tsugakuin's actions.

"You're not entirely right. My original target was not Luffy, but it just happened that the target became Luffy."

Tsugakuni Yoriichi's words left Luffy's head full of question marks. With his intelligence, he had no way of understanding what Tsugakuni Yoriichi said.

The expressions of Rayleigh and Beckman changed slightly, and they both seemed to have heard some hidden meaning.

What this means is that originally, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni didn't care about Luffy, but now, did Luffy do something to automatically come into Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's sight?

Why?!

Did he break into Cake Island to get the red historical text? Did he intend to open the great secret treasure? Or did Luffy find some blank 100-year history through the historical text and arouse the Navy's fear?

At this time, Rayleigh had all kinds of speculations in his mind. Just when Luffy couldn't help but attack Tsugakuin Yoshiichi to avenge his dead "companions", Rayleigh stretched out his hand to stop him, and then asked Tsugakuin Yoshiichi:

“Is there still a possibility of negotiation?”

"Although I don't know what you are going to do, I know that you are not the kind of person who would be interested in the great secret treasure."

"If you were interested, Roger should have given you the answer back then."

"I can guarantee that Luffy's actions will not affect what your navy is going to do."

"Even if you start a war with us here, you may not gain anything."

"So, let's both take a step back?"

Rayleigh's words seemed tough on the surface, but in reality, he was showing weakness to Tsugumi Yoshiichi. The corpses scattered all over the ground had already proved this.

Rayleigh is different from Luffy. He won't be like Luffy and treat all the pirates as brothers. After all, he only wants to help Luffy. He doesn't have a deep relationship with the others.

If possible, Rayleigh did not want to have a conflict with Jiguoyuan. In his opinion, there was no conflict of interest between them, and this kind of battle should be avoided if possible.

Of course, this is not because Rayleigh has a good temper, it’s just because the strength displayed by Jiguo Yuanyi is strong enough, so strong that even he, the Pluto Rayleigh, needs to be careful in what he says and does.

"."

Rayleigh's attitude at this time somewhat surprised Yoshiichi Tsugikuni. Such a sensible guy is very rare in the world today.

unfortunately
After all, Rayleigh still knows too little about this world. Some things cannot be accomplished simply by you and I taking a step back.

Fate will eventually push the tide to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

After all, Luffy is the destined savior, isn't he!

Gently shaking his head, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it at Straw Hat Luffy, and asked:
"Luffy, why do you want to be the Pirate King?"

Luffy felt a sudden chill on his back when being pointed at by the tip of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's sword. It was a feeling he hadn't felt for many years.

"Because the Pirate King is the freest person in the world!"

"I want to be the freest person in the world!"

Facing Tsugakuni Yoriichi, Luffy remained undeterred and almost roared out what was in his heart.

Hearing this, neither Rayleigh nor Beckman felt anything wrong. On the contrary, when they heard that Luffy wanted to become the Pirate King for this reason, they clearly smiled.

Not for wealth, not for power, just for freedom.
Luffy's difference is also fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Can you, who bear the fate of Joy Boy, really gain the so-called freedom?"

"Or has your life become a puppet since the moment you ate the Nika Fruit?!"

"Is all of this really what you want in your heart?!"

"Is it you, Luffy, who wants to form the Straw Hat Grand Fleet from the bottom of your heart? Rather than fate pushing you to do so?" At this point, Yoriichi Tsugakuni doesn't mind spending some time to help Luffy and the others have a clearer understanding of this world. Of course, the more important thing is that Yoriichi Tsugakuni has traveled a long way, and he needs some time as a buffer to restore his domineering power.

When the words Joy Boy and Nika Fruit came out of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's mouth, Rayleigh and Kozuki Oden's faces changed suddenly.

They were Roger's crew members, so they naturally knew the legend of Joy Boy.

The reason why they helped Luffy was not because of his strong personal charm, but simply because Luffy was wearing the straw hat that symbolized Roger's last wish, and they knew that Luffy had awakened the Nika Fruit.

They thought they were the ones who had the deepest understanding of this world, but it was obvious that Tsugakuin Yuichi's understanding of this world was no less than theirs. In fact, when Tsugakuin Yuichi said this, it already meant that his understanding was higher than the two of them.

Yes, can Luffy, who bears Joy Boy's fate, really get the so-called freedom? !

Why did he, who only recruited crew members out of interest, want to form the Straw Hat Grand Fleet? !

Are those pirates in the big fleet Luffy's vassals? Are they his partners? Or are they the fate of Joy Boy entangled with him? !

If everything is guided by fate, then what is the end of that fate?
Everyone looked at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi once again. In addition to the fear of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's terrifying strength, there was also a hint of inquiry in their eyes.

Why on earth would this person have such an idea? What exactly is Tsugikoku Yuichi's purpose? !

There is a mysterious aura shrouding Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, making it impossible for Rayleigh, Kozuki Oden and others to see through it.

but
For Luffy, the answers to the questions asked by Yuichiro Tsuchiya are not important at all!
He didn't care what Joy Boy was, nor did he intend to think about whether establishing the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was what he really wanted. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to knock down the guy in front of him and avenge all his dead companions!
No longer caring about the obstruction of Rayleigh and others, Luffy leaped out. In mid-air, his body shape had undergone a huge change. A white flame ring surrounded his body, and in the blink of an eye he had entered the Nika form.

"White Star Gun!!!"

As Luffy let out a low growl, his arms quickly stretched out and punched directly at Tsugakuin Enishi who was not far away. Luffy, who had entered the Nika form, laughed uncontrollably at this moment.

His laughter had a strong sense of disconnection with the corpses all over the ground. When the laughter fell into the ears of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Yoriichi felt only irony.

"After the power of the mythical beast species awakens, it is indeed very powerful."

"But the greater the power, the stronger the will of the devil fruit."

"Are you controlling the devil fruit, or is the devil fruit controlling you?"

The White Star Spear came so fast that the naked eyes of ordinary strong men could not catch it at all.

Luffy's body in the Nika state has already exceeded its limits. His attacks are even stronger than those of the Four Emperors Kaido back then.

Very strong!

But in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, it's not good enough.

The long sword in his hand was casually held upright, and when the White Star Spear approached, Ji Guoyuan slightly deflected the blade in his hand, and the moment his fist hit the blade, the force was directly dissipated to the side.

"boom!!!"

Luffy's fist turned in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and then slammed into the ground hard, making a loud noise.

The attack was not held back at all, but was easily resolved by the enemy. Luffy's pupils couldn't help but shrink in surprise at Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's nonchalant attitude.

This was the first time he had seen someone be able to withstand his attack so easily since his devil fruit ability awakened.

"Luffy, hurry up, get out of here, we'll buy you some time!"

Just as Luffy retracted his arm and was about to continue attacking, Kozuki Oden had already taken the lead and rushed towards Tsugakuin Yoshiichi with a roar.

Rayleigh also quickly came to Luffy's side, grabbed Luffy's shoulders and growled.

On the other side, Beckman had already coordinated with Kozuki Oden's offensive. At the moment when the other party jumped into the air and was about to attack Tsugekuni Yoshiichi, he shot at Tsugekuni Yoshiichi at a rapid speed. Three black bullets formed a V-shape and flew towards Tsugekuni Yoshiichi at a rapid speed.

Although it was clearly a one-on-man situation, Rayleigh had no confidence at all at this moment. Instead, he hoped that Luffy and the others could leave here as soon as possible.

"clang--"

A little further away, Jiguo Yuan swung the long sword in his hand horizontally, and with just one sword, he simultaneously shattered the three bullets fired by Beckman. Then he quickly changed his moves, stepped forward with his right foot, and slashed the long sword in his hand directly from bottom to top towards Kozuki Oden in mid-air.

The long swords in Oden's hands crossed, and when they fell, he saw a blade light shooting towards him. When he blocked it, he felt a terrifying force coming from his arms. The opponent's powerful force went against the trend and directly threw Kozuki Oden backwards.

Although they were the one who took the initiative to attack, they were easily forced back by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.

Oden rolled several times in the air and barely managed to steady himself. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he slashed forward with both swords, unleashing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In an instant, the entire Shuixianxing Island began to vibrate violently, and an invisible shock wave attacked Ji Guoyuan from afar.

Kozuki Oden was originally a powerful swordsman, and he accidentally obtained the power of the devil fruit that belonged to his elder brother. Now, his strength is even comparable to that of Whitebeard back then.

It is precisely because Kozuki Oden is as powerful as Whitebeard that he is able to command the Whitebeard Pirates today. Even when he personally tore apart the promise between him and Tsugakuni Yoriichi, no one in the Whitebeard Pirates spoke out against it.

He is different from Rayleigh. As the bearer of the inheritance of Wano Country, he firmly believes that Luffy is the real savior. Now that Wano Country has been founded, he has bet everything he has on Luffy.

Therefore, even when facing Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, he would never allow himself to fail!

"His strength is indeed enough to rival Whitebeard's."

"But your spirit is far from that of Whitebeard!"

"He can risk everything for his family, but he will never risk his family for that illusive loser."

"Kozuki Oden, it was you who destroyed everything Whitebeard wanted to protect!"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi felt a strong vibration in the space, his expression darkened, and he quickly drew his sword, slashed out and plowed the ground, and shot directly towards Kozuki Oden in mid-air.

The slash broke through the blockade of space vibration and flew in front of Oden in an instant. Kozuki Oden drew out both swords and slashed sideways on the incoming slash. Although it did not change the direction of the slash, it allowed him to escape successfully.

However, the next second, Oden suddenly realized something, his expression changed abruptly, and he looked in the direction of the flying slash.

Under Oden's gaze, the slash released by Tsugakure Yoshiichi flew directly out to sea, cut off many pirate ships, and accurately pierced through the Moby Dick docked in the harbor.

Seawater poured into the cabin, and the White Group crew on the deck ran around in panic, trying to save the ship, but the Moby Dick, broken into two, was still slowly sinking into the sea.
