One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 689 The war is about to begin

"It's right ahead. According to the map, it's less than 20 nautical miles away."

Zhan Guo looked ahead with a serious face. He was feeling very bad. Even the mighty fleet could not give him a sense of security. An ominous premonition kept lingering in his heart. This war might not be easy.

"What's wrong, Sengoku?"

Garp stood aside and looked at Sengoku. He still had a donut in his hand and kept stuffing it into his mouth. The speed at which he ate donuts was the fastest in history. For the first time, Garp actually felt a little nervous before going to the battlefield. This was something he had never felt before.

"I don't know. I just feel that the next battle may not be easy."

Sengoku shook his head and said that all this was just his guess for the time being. There was no confirmation and it was just his blind guess. Fortunately, he was facing Garp, otherwise he would not have said these. As a marshal, every word he said could affect the morale of the entire navy, so he had to be careful in what he said and did.

"Indeed, I have the same feeling, as if someone is watching us. I even wonder if those pirates are watching us from the sky."

Cap said as he stuffed another donut into his mouth.

"There are people watching in the sky. Borsalino is always in the sky. Few people can match that kid's ability to escape. With him watching in the sky, nothing will happen."

Zefa pushed the door open and walked in and said that he had just been outside watching the situation of the fleet. It required great caution with so many ships sailing together. If they were too far away, problems would easily occur, but if they were too close, they might collide with each other. So Zefa went out for a patrol with some concern.

"That's fine. What about the Five Elders?"

Sengoku asked after nodding.

"There was no movement on the big ship at the rear of the fleet, and we were not even allowed to approach."

Zefa said unhappily.

"It's a good thing that those scumbags are not in the fleet. I get a headache just looking at those old bastards. If they're not here with us, we can save ourselves the trouble."

Cap took out the last donut and threw the packaging bag aside.

"No matter what, the Five Elders' fighting power is no problem. The Four Emperors' Pirate Group has five emperor-level fighters. If we don't have the support of the Five Elders, it will be difficult for us to fight them alone. We can only stop three of them. Even if we sacrifice our lives, we can only stop four. As for the remaining one, the other navy can't stop them."

Sengoku also doesn't like the Five Elders, but if the Five Elders are not there in this battle, they really won't be able to win. In the original timeline, it took all the elite troops to deal with an old Whitebeard. Now, to deal with the Four Emperors who have become five people, the dogs, monkeys and chickens on the navy's side have not grown up yet, so they really can't win.

"That's right. Never mind. It's none of my business. According to the plan, you will stay in the center, and Zefa and I will each lead a troop to attack from both sides. You'd better be careful when the time comes, so that I won't be attacked from behind and have to come back to rescue you."

Garp knew that his greatest role was to lead the troops in the charge as the spearhead of the battle, and it would be a complete waste of his talent to have him sit in the rear.

"I know. You should worry about yourself instead of me. The five people on the other side must be on the island. You and Zefa must be careful. Your goal is to grab a place for the main army to land. Don't rush in and lose touch with the main force. This is not the kind of battle we had in the past. We must be extremely careful."

Sengoku spoke to Garp earnestly.

"I know, I know. I'm not that stupid. It's hard enough for those five guys to deal with one. If I have to deal with five at once, I won't be able to handle it. I just don't want to think too much. I'm not really stupid."

Cap waved his hand to show that he understood, then opened another bag of donuts and continued his donut competition.

"Oh, I hope everything goes well."

Zhan Guo sighed helplessly, looking at the cloudy weather outside the window and said quietly. On the other side, on the ship of the Five Elders, there were only two people in the huge room, Satan Saint and Nasu Shoulang Saint, both of them were silent and closed their eyes to rest.

"You're nervous."

Saint Satan suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"Humph, that's not nervousness, that's excitement. I haven't taken action for a long time. Thinking about killing those damn pirates, I can't help but get a little excited."

Nasujuro Sei said while holding the buzzing First Generation Kitetsu.

"I'll leave Rose Lily to you. Her fruit ability is very dangerous. If we don't defeat her, it will be difficult for us to win this battle, unless we call them all over."

Saint Satan spoke directly without caring whether what Saint Nasujuro said was true or not.

"I know. And Lily happens to be a famous swordsman. Let me test her strength."

Nasujuro Sei nodded and said that his original target was Lily. After all, Lily was also a swordsman, which suited his taste. His first generation Kitetsu had not been unsheathed for so many years, so naturally he hoped to find a worthy opponent.

"I'm going to deal with Kaido. We have records of his fruit ability. According to eyewitnesses, they haven't really reached that level yet. It's most appropriate for me to take action."

Saint Satan said confidently that in his opinion, with his own strength, it would be no problem for him to deal with Kaido who had not truly awakened the power of the mythical beast.

"Hmph, don't be careless. Even if Kaido hasn't awakened, the power of the Blue Dragon Fruit cannot be underestimated. It is almost the most versatile fruit type. Don't forget that person from that year. You don't want to repeat the same mistake, do you?"

Nasujuro Sei said with a sneer.

"I was careless for a moment!"

As if a sore spot had been touched, Saint Satan suddenly spoke loudly. This kind of loss of composure was rare among the Five Elder Stars, which showed how great an impact that incident had on Saint Satan.

"Just assume that you were careless for a moment, but no matter what, this battle represents the face of the World Government. Although we will not kill them all, we must teach them a profound lesson and let them know that the dignity of the World Government cannot be trampled on. Otherwise, the next thing will be difficult to deal with."

Nasujuro Seiji said with a gloomy face. He was a pro-war faction. He wanted to start a war from the very beginning when the Four Emperors emerged, and destroy everything in the bud. But unfortunately, other people did not agree with his plan. If they had done as he said earlier, there wouldn't be so many troubles now.

"I understand that, too. Okay, let's not talk about it. If the two of us are not enough, we can still use that trick. With the five of us here, there is no chance for those pirates to win."

Saint Satan said slowly. In his opinion, the war was over. As the pirates were still useful, he would spare their lives for the time being. When the adult woke up, they would die.

"That's right, they had no hope of winning from the beginning."

Nasujuro Seiya nodded and said, just when the two felt that they had it all figured out, suddenly, a thunderclap sounded, followed by an unexpected explosion.

"Enemy attack!"

Accompanied by a burst of shouting at the top of one's throat, the alarms on all the naval ships were sounded, and the entire naval fleet began to disperse at once. As they moved, more than a dozen ships that were broken in half slowly emerged.
