From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Isn't this Enelu?

It’s just that the current Enel is not the future “Thunder King”. You can tell from his appearance that he is living a miserable life.

Jiujo Ju didn't ask any further questions and just continued eating the roasted wild boar in front of him.

Only after Kujo Tachibana had eaten half of the wild boar meat did he let out a long, satisfied sigh.

At this time, the young man with big earlobes and afro, Enelu, had a swollen belly and looked very bloated. He just sat on the ground with his back against a tree.

He took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes stolen from Tina from his pocket, and approached the bonfire to light it. He took a deep breath of smoke, then looked at Enelu and asked:

"It looks like the young man is not from here!"

Hearing this, Enel was slightly stunned: What does this mean? Locals?

After a moment, Enel vaguely guessed the meaning of this sentence.

"I don't know, maybe I'm not a Beka!"

"Because I'm different from the others. I haven't grown my own wings."

Only when he got to this point did Enel react!

This man!

This man doesn’t have wings!

Without waiting for Kujo Tachibana to speak, Enelu, with an excited expression, stepped forward and grabbed Kujo's arm, and his questions came out one after another like a machine gun.

Chapter 31 Return to the East China Sea

Patting Eneel's shoulder gently, Kujo Tachibana patiently answered all of Eneel's questions.

...

The two chatted for more than an hour. After answering Enel's questions, Kujo Tachibana stood up, looked at him and said:

"Enelu, I came to Bica to find something. Once I find it, I will go back to Qinghai."

"If you are willing to go back to Qinghai with me, you can wait for me here. If you follow me from now on, I promise that you won't go hungry. I will be back before dark at the latest."

Enelu was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "I am willing. Brother Jiujo, what are you looking for? I can help you find it."

Jiujo Tachibana smiled and then said softly: "No need, Enelu, I can do it alone, then you wait for me here for a while, it shouldn't take long."

After saying this, Kujo Tachibana disappeared from Eneel's sight.

...

Tachibana's observation Haki, which covered an extremely wide range, began to shrink slowly. Kujo Tachibana controlled his own observation Haki and compressed it to a range of about one kilometer, thereby enhancing his observation ability.

The mysterious product, the devil fruit, is no different from ordinary fruit when it is not eaten by humans. The color and shape of the devil fruit do not have a specific uniformity, just like common fruits (such as bananas, cantaloupes, etc.) - the only difference from fruits is that from the outer peel to the inner flesh, it is covered with "arabesque-like" spiral patterns, and the appearance is a little more abstract.

As for the specific appearance of the Thunder Fruit, Kujo Tachibana doesn't know, and it has never appeared in the comics. Kujo Tachibana only knows that this is the devil fruit that Enelu once ate in Sky Island Bica.

Jiujo Ju planned to drive the "detector" of about one kilometer around the Sky Island Bika and carefully observe every fruit on the island.

If he doesn't find it, then forget it, it just means he is not destined to get the Thunder Fruit.

...

As time passed, Jiu Tiaoju slowly walked around the Bika for most of the circle until he came to the back of the Bika people's temple...

Feeling that there was no one around, it was suspected to be the altar of the forbidden area of ​​the Bika people. At this time, above the altar, there were dozens of fruits of different colors that had already been dehydrated and looked a little dry.

Just by looking at the appearance of these fruits, it is not difficult to see that no one usually comes here.

However, among this pile of dried fruits, there is a emerald green melon!

It seems so out of place.

The strangest thing is that on the melon, which has not dried up, there are circles of patterns growing!

Needless to say, this melon is definitely a devil fruit!

Jiujo Ju reached out and picked up the melon from the ground.

At this point, he was already 99% sure that this fruit with a strange color and unknown species that looked like a melon was the Thunder Fruit!

This also explains why Enel had to eat the Thunder Fruit.

Because other people in Bika usually follow their own traditions and don't come here.

Only Enelu, who is so hungry that he is dizzy, would not care about these problems!

After carefully putting the "Thunder Fruit" into the small wooden box prepared in advance, Jiujo Tachibana did not take the easy way out and continued to check the places that Bika had not checked again.

After confirming that there was no more gain, Kujo Tachibana turned around and flew in the direction of Eneel.

...

Nine months later, in the year 1506 of the Kaiyuan calendar, in the office of Kujo Tachibana of the G2 branch.

At this time, Jiujo Ju was sitting in a chair, yawning, and beginning to feel sleepy.

It's not that he's slacking off, he just has nothing to do.

Ever since Kujo Tachibana returned from Sky Island, he started an unprecedented "special campaign to eliminate gangsters and evil" in the waters belonging to the G2 branch. This crackdown lasted for more than nine months!

Over the past nine months, all officers and soldiers of the G2 branch have worked together and, under the leadership of the branch's top officer, Kujo Tachibana, have finally achieved remarkable results.

In the sea area where the G2 branch is located, there is no pirate group that can be organized.

The pirates who need to travel through the waters of the G2 branch have all started to take detours. Of course, there are also some who are stubborn and refuse to believe in evil. Most of these pirates are supernovas from all over the world, and they are fearless!

As for this group of stubborn kids, Jiu Tiao Ju will naturally not be stingy and will teach these supernovas a good lesson!

In the next six months, Kujo Tachibana killed nearly twenty pirates with bounties of over 100 million, with the support of news tycoon Morgans and the navy's top brass behind the scenes.

The entire first half of the Grand Line and the four seas are all praising the reputation of Vice Admiral "Cang Long"!

Until now, in the past few months, no pirate group has dared to pass through the waters belonging to the G2 branch.

Not only that, in addition to the pirates on the sea, there are dozens of islands, large and small, in the waters belonging to the G2 branch, and Kujo Tachibana has not missed any of them. He will take care of all those who commit crimes such as cheating, robbery, and robbery!

Whether on the sea or on land!

We must crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, and not allow any place to harbor filth and evil!

"Blur...Blur...Blur..."

The ringing sound from Den Den Mushi suddenly woke up the sleepy Kujo Tachibana.

Amos, the top lieutenant of Kujo Tachibana, took the Den Den Mushi in his hand, looked at it and said:

"Moses Moses... This is the G2 branch, I'm Amos."

Den Den Mushi imitated Marshal Sengoku's expression and tone, and said with dignity: "Colonel Amos, please let Vice Admiral Soryu answer the phone. This is Sengoku."

...

"Old man, what do you want from me?" Kujo Tachibana took the Den Den Mushi, yawned, and asked lazily.

"Humph!" Zhan Guo snorted coldly, and said in a tone full of regret:

"You just made a few achievements in the G2 branch, and you've become like this? You have lost all your energy and spirit. Look at you! Where is the dignity of a vice admiral?"

Upon hearing this, Jiujo Tachibana rolled his eyes and said:

"I only know that our G2 branch is the best branch right now."

"You said I was listless, but that's because I was too exhausted from hunting pirates."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo was speechless for a moment.

Who said that what Kujo Tachibana said was the truth?

In the first half of the Grand Line, their navy deployed a total of six branches, and the achievements made by the current G2 branch are obvious to all.

Even Admiral Akainu has publicly praised Kujo Tachibana more than once.

"Vice Admiral Canglong is the best role model for the new generation of navy!"

"Vice Admiral Soryu is the future of the Navy!"

"When dealing with pirates, you should treat them like me and Vice Admiral Soryuu!"

Akainu often said words like these this year.

The reason why Akainu said this was mainly because Kujo Tachibana had a similar style of doing things to Akainu, which made Akainu mistakenly believe that Kujo Tachibana was also a hawkish naval general.

When it comes to pirates, Kujo Tachibana would rather kill them than capture them alive.

This is even more true for Akainu. Any pirate who falls into his hands will die!

It's just that Kujo Tachibana's criterion is the past evil deeds of these pirates, but unfortunately, up to now, Kujo Tachibana has not encountered a pirate whose guilt is light enough to be spared death...

But Akainu will not ask about these things. As long as you are a pirate, I'm sorry, in Akainu's eyes, you should die.

Perhaps in the eyes of modern people, such an idea may be a bit extreme, but for the world of pirates, a world with an imperfect legal system, perhaps this is the most effective way to curb evil!

Seeing that Sengoku was speechless, Kujo Tachibana suddenly remembered one thing: he still had two devil fruits in his hands!

Regarding the Animal-type - Ma-Ma-fruit, Mythical Beast, Unicorn Form Devil Fruit, Kujo Tachibana planned to give it to Kuina, the daughter of his master Koshiro.

This is also to avoid the tragedy of Kuina in the future.

It's impossible that Kuina, who ate the mythical beast, could die by falling down the stairs, right?

Even the Grand Staircase can’t do it, right?

Thinking of this, Kujo Tachibana said directly to Den Den Mushi:

"Old man, I need a leave!"

Sengoku frowned. To be honest, Kujo Tachibana had done a good job in the past six months and no group of pirates had escaped from the G2 branch.

However, facing this great pirate era, personal abilities still seem somewhat insufficient under the tide of this era.

The navy’s combat capability at this moment is still tight!

And with a fighter like Kujo Tachibana, who is close to the level of admiral, guarding the first half of the Grand Line, it does make people feel more at ease.

"Why do you want leave?" Zhan Guo asked in confusion.

Jiujo Tachibana then began to explain:

"I'm going to the East China Sea. Just think of it as me visiting relatives!"

"Alas," Zhan Guo sighed and began to play the emotional card:

"Little Orange, you don't know! Whitebeard in the New World made trouble again for no apparent reason some time ago because of his stupid son!"

"In order to suppress Whitebeard's gang, Garp and Aokiji have gone there, Akainu also has to suppress other pirates in the New World, and Kizaru also has to protect the Holy Land and the world's noble Celestial Dragons. I really can't spare the time here..."

Before Zhan Guo could finish, Kujo Tachibana interrupted him and said, "As far as I know, a certain famous lieutenant general has to go back to the East China Sea once a year, or even several times, right?"

"I also heard that the reason given by that famous lieutenant general seemed to be to visit relatives, right?"

"Why can't it be done here? I've been working here for almost a year straight, right?"

"What's wrong with taking a break? He's a lieutenant general, but I'm not one, right?"

Kujo Tachibana's words were soft yet sharp and well-reasoned, so Zhan Guo finally had to agree to Kujo Tachibana's request for leave.

However, before leaving, he still gave Jiujo Tachibana a small task.

Let him take a look at the naval branch in the East China Sea.

-

Just like that, three days later.

The Soryu, carrying Kujo Tachibana, Tina, and Eneel, as well as hundreds of elite naval soldiers from the G2 branch, crossed the Grand Line straight across the Calm Belt and headed straight towards the East China Sea.

The Navy is good at this!

Warships have their own propulsion systems, unlike most pirate ships which can only operate with the help of wind power.

And the most important thing is that the bottom of the warship is made of seastone powder, which is enough to allow the warship to safely avoid countless large sea kings in the doldrums.

Now that the navy has this black technology, it is up to you to enter the Grand Line whenever you want and from where you want. You don't have to be like the pirates in this world because of the blockade of the calm belts on both sides of the Grand Line.

The Grand Line can only be entered from the entrance of Upside-Down Mountain.

As for this technology, it can be said that all the major forces in the pirate world have been salivating over it for a long time.
