I want the navy to break away from Mariejoia and become independent.

This is not a simple matter. First, you must have enough force to compete with Mary Joa, and this is something Li Yan cannot achieve yet.

However, even if the individual combat power cannot be achieved for the time being, this situation can still be achieved through asymmetrical force.

Therefore, the Shichibukai mission must be accelerated, and then use airships to build a strategic air force, and at the same time use piston fighters to form a tactical air force, supplemented by powerful naval power.

Only then could Li Yan gain some confidence to resist Mary Joa.

Of course, relying on these alone is not enough. If he really wants to completely obtain the capital to compete with Marigio in the short term, Li Yan is even thinking about whether to join forces with a local force to provide himself with insurance and supplement the high-end battle.

The shortcoming of having little strength?

However, there are only a few local forces. Apart from Marie Joa and the navy, they are pirates, underground giants and the revolutionary army.

Among them, it seems that the Revolutionary Army is more suitable for their needs.

Speaking of which, if the revolutionary army could give up the method of inciting civilians to die all day long, it would not be impossible for me to cooperate with them.

Why don't you talk to Long?

Involuntarily, such thoughts flashed through Li Yan's mind.

To be honest, Li Yan actually doesn't like the revolutionary army very much.

It seems that they overthrew the rule of several kingdoms in succession, but what happened after that?

The revolutionary army simply doesn’t have the strength to defend these kingdoms, okay?

So, after overthrowing these kingdoms, one thing they did was to evacuate immediately.

After all, if they don't evacuate, what they will face is strong suppression by Marie Joa and the navy.

They evacuated, but what about the civilians in the kingdom who were incited to overthrow the rule?

Therefore, the revolutionary army's actions seemed to overthrow the nobles of the kingdom one after another, but in fact, the civilians in these kingdoms were not abandoned by them in the end...

Left there waiting to be liquidated!

Of course, Li Yan is not unable to understand. After all, compared with behemoths like Marie Joa and the Navy, the Revolutionary Army currently does not have the strength for a head-on conflict and can only act in this way.

However, understanding is understanding, whether you can accept it is another matter.

Therefore, although Li Yan had the idea of ​​​​cooperating with Long, he also needed to set up prerequisites.

That is...

The revolutionary army must abandon its current operational strategy of preying on civilians all day long.

However, if you want to contact Long, who should you turn to for help?

Yes, Koushiro Shimozuki!

"Someone is coming!"

"Yes, General!"

Following Li Yan's shout, the guard outside the office door immediately opened the door and walked in.

"Contact Beast Island and ask Colonel Sauron to come to my place!"

"Yes, General!"

------

Five days later.

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

Half an hour ago, someone had already seen the giant steel ship that was approaching quickly and flying the navy flag.

At this moment, most of the villagers in Shuangyue Village have gathered on the pier.

After all, they had never seen such a giant ship before.

Moreover, since it is the East China Sea Navy, there is nothing to worry about, right?

You know, the East China Sea Navy today is different from a year ago, and the people of the East China Sea have great trust in it.

"Look, isn't that Zoro from Isshin Gym?"

"It's really Zoro, he's still wearing a navy uniform!"

"Oh my god, that rank is colonel, Zoro is a navy captain?"

After all, there are not many people in Shuangyue Village, and this is Sauron's hometown, and he has been a very famous person in Shuangyue Village for so many years.

Therefore, almost everyone can recognize him.

And in the end, a retired sailor revealed the identity of the captain of the Navy in Salona.

But unlike these ordinary villagers, Yu Shiro, who also came to the dock, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

at this time...

"Look, my God, that's General Li Yan of the East China Sea!"

"That's General Li Yan, he is the pride of our East China Sea!"

"That's right, now that we go out to sea to purchase goods from other islands, we still need to be as cautious as before for fear of encountering pirates!"

"By the way, I heard that General Li Yan is only 23 years old today, unmarried, and has no partner yet!"

"This is real?"

Soon, the discussion among the villagers on the dock began to shift in a strange direction.

They even discussed it very loudly, not caring that Li Yan heard this.

Li Yan, who walked down the gangway, smiled helplessly when he saw the burning eyes of the young women on the pier looking at him.

However, he soon looked at Koushiro and exchanged glances with him in the air.

"master!"

"Zoron, you have grown a lot in the past two years!"

When Zoro came to Koushiro, Koshiro was also a little surprised.

He naturally knows how to see, hear, and feel, and as a great swordsman, he has a very keen sense of sword energy.

Therefore, it was immediately discovered that Sauron had become a swordsman and his realm was very stable.

Even...

He seems to have given birth to the prototype of his own sword intention?

After all, he has taught Zoro for so many years, although he and Shiro know very well that Zoro works very hard, harder than most people.

However, his kendo qualification is his flaw.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Sauron should not reach this stage so quickly.

But the reality was defeated before his eyes, and Koushiro couldn't believe it.

However, Koushiro is indeed very pleased that Zoro has grown to this point.

"Is this our general Li Yan from the East China Sea?"

Nodding towards Zoro, Koushiro then looked at Li Yan.

"Yes, Mr. Koushiro, I came here specially to see you this time!"

"What, didn't you say you came out to relax and come to visit my hometown?"

Hearing this, before Koushiro said anything, Zoro was confused.

After all, what Li Yan said to Sauron before setting off was...

I've been a little tired recently and wanted to go out and relax. I heard that there is a Yishin Gym in Zoro's hometown, so I happened to stop by and check it out.

But now you are telling me that this is not the case at all?

Compared to Zoro's confusion, Koushiro was much calmer.

Just now when Li Yan stepped off the warship and his eyes met, Koushiro knew that the recently famous East China Sea general was here for him.

Although I don’t know why?

"General Li Yan, I am just an unknown gym leader in the East China Sea..."

"Mr. Koushiro, I know your affairs very well, and I even know where you are from, but this doesn't seem to be the place to talk, does it?"

After raising his hand to stop Koushiro from continuing, Li Yan spoke.

Hearing this, Koushiro also remembered that they were at the port now, and there were many villagers surrounding them.

This is really not the place to talk.

"General Li Yan, please come to my gym and sit for a while!"

"Then Mr. Kogenshiro will lead the way!"
Chapter completed!
