Of course, this Stussy has many other identities.

She is a member of CP0's intelligence network.

She is also a clone of ISS Bakkin, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, and is one of the few people who can directly call Big Mom by her nickname, Linlin.

Stussy rested his chin on one hand, while stirring the increasingly strong coffee with a spoon in the other, thinking to himself:

"Things are getting more and more interesting."

Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Five men standing at the pinnacle of power in this world are holding an emergency meeting regarding Doflamingo's death.

These five are the world government's top leaders and its mainstays, known as the Five Elders.

"The Celestial Dragons are not to be trifled with!"

A bald old man in a Taoist robe struck the ground tiles heavily with his sword, making a crisp sound to emphasize the weight of his words and make them impossible to ignore.

"Anyone suspected of inheriting the will of Lox must also be completely eliminated!"

"For the sake of absolute justice, I propose that the Navy launch a Buster Call, with all three admirals mobilized to nip the troublemakers in the bud in the bud, who are the rulers of the night, in the bud!"

The bald old man's personality was just like the sword in his hand: direct, tough, and sharp.

As the powerful speech concluded, the other four elders exchanged glances, raised their right hands, and said:

"Agree!"

In the past, the World Government, like its massive and bloated organization, was extremely inefficient.

If ordinary people want to seek help from the World Government, such as requesting the Navy to wipe out pirates in the surrounding waters or to clear out bandits roaming the country, the World Government will usually have to play along for a while. It will take a year or two before someone issues a notification about the progress of the matter. By then, the person seeking help may have already died at the hands of pirates or bandits.

However, once something involves the Celestial Dragons, even if the World Government is busy or tired, it will give the green light and prioritize getting the Celestial Dragons' affairs done.

When the World Government's notification reached the Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku scratched his head in distress, accidentally pulling out a handful of hair, which made Garp next to him burst into laughter.

The Warring States Marshal glared at the shameless old man, too annoyed to care that Garp had stolen his office senbei yet again. He turned his gaze to the three admirals, each with a distinct aura, and said in a deep voice:

"This mission is extraordinary, and the Five Elders attach great importance to it. Our Navy Headquarters must handle this matter perfectly and absolutely cannot allow any mistakes."

"Just in case, the Navy Headquarters will deploy fifteen large warships and eight thousand experienced soldiers, led by ten Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals, to blockade the waters surrounding Dressrosa Island, ensuring that not even a fly is allowed to escape!"

"Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, you will serve as top-tier combatants, personally aboard the island to kill the Dark Lord, Li Qing!"

"Of course, the Kingdom of Dressrosa is not like other countries; it is an ancient civilization with a long history. Although the Navy has issued a Buster Call, I still privately hope that you will not let the battle affect the people within the kingdom. Do you understand?"

Sakazuki, the Red Dog, stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his resolute face expressionless.

Aokiji Kurazan stood at attention and saluted the Sengoku commander, clearly taking his words to heart.

Kizaru Borsalino lowered his head, took a sip of green tea, put down the teacup, and made an OK sign.

The task is demanding and time is tight.

Without needing to say much, the naval officers, all action-oriented, boarded the large warship one after another amidst a flurry of footsteps. Behind them, the words "Justice" on their naval cloaks gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

Chapter 97: From Here On, Let the World Feel Pain

Fifteen warships cut through the white waves and sped along, not in an arrowhead formation, but in a single line, heading towards Dressrosa with imposing momentum.

Within the Navy Headquarters, the number of warships that can be assigned varies depending on the rank and position.

These fifteen warships are all large warships. Each large warship requires more than two thousand oak trees, more than forty tons of iron, and more than fifty million Berries to build. They are eventually built into large warships with a length of 99 meters, a width of 25 meters, and a displacement of more than 3000 tons, and have already taken the shape of a sailing battleship.

The large warship is equipped with three masts, the main mast is 73 meters high, the hull is coated with a thin layer of steel plates, and it has three gun decks, with a total of 240 cast iron cannons. The warship can fire solid shells weighing more than two tons at a time in a single salvo.

Each warship can carry up to 900 people, store more than 50 tons of gunpowder and 200 tons of shells, and has a speed of up to nine knots, which means it can travel more than 17 kilometers per hour and can sail continuously for nine months at a time.

Contrary to popular belief, warships do not sail in dense formations as they do on land. Instead, they sail in a single-file formation, with considerable distances between the ships, resulting in a somewhat loose formation.

Because the speed and pressure of fluid movement are related, during the navigation of ships, especially large warships, the water flow between side by side is fast and the pressure is low. Atmospheric pressure will squeeze the warships together, causing them to collide with each other, which can easily lead to the destruction of the ship and loss of life.

Moreover, sailing warships rely on wind power rather than other energy sources for propulsion, which makes them highly dependent on wind direction. When these large warships attempt to change direction, it is easy for side-by-side warships to collide head-to-tail.

At the same time, when naval warships engage the enemy, they mainly rely on the cannons arranged on their sides to bombard them. If the warships are arranged side by side and are very close to each other, they will not be able to launch long-range attacks on the enemy.

The fleet of fifteen warships was so powerful that even ghosts and gods would flee in terror.

Any pirate crew or royal armed vessel with a keen eye, upon spotting the naval flag fluttering in the wind through their binoculars, would quickly flee as far away as possible, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

Of course, there are also pirate ships that are confident in their strength and unwilling to leave, such as the Beasts Pirates.

A black pirate flag with a white skull and crossbones flew high in the sky. Dozens of ships of different sizes were scattered on the blue sea. The larger pirate ships were over seventy meters long, while the smaller ones were over fifty meters long. The pirate crew members on the decks wore different clothes and had different hairstyles, making the scene look somewhat messy.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

Compared to some third-rate pirate crews, the Beasts Pirates' fleet is undoubtedly formidable, but in front of the Navy Headquarters' warships, it is as scattered and disorganized as a ragtag army.

A giant-like, robust man stood at the bow of the ship, his strong, muscular arms crossed over his chest, his black hair casually draped over his broad shoulders, and his large, bell-like eyes gazing silently at the fleet speeding past in the opposite direction.

Behind the man stood a slightly shorter, burly man. For some reason, this man had blond hair tied into a ponytail and two braids, which looked rather incongruous.

Anyone who sees this hairstyle probably can't help but chuckle to themselves.

The man raised his head, wearing a metal jaw, with long, sharp mammoth tusks adorning his head and shoulders. He was dressed in simple Viking-like clothing, with his shoulder armor inlaid with chillingly sharp tacks, and his clear black and white pupils revealed a fierce fighting spirit.

His appearance alone is enough to stop a child from crying and to shut up any other person who might want to laugh.

He himself has an extraordinary background; he is Jack the Drought, one of the three great calamities of the Beasts Pirates, with a bounty of 10 billion Berries.

Jack rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, and said:

"Boss, let's ram them with our ship and kill all those navy sailors!"

Kaido of the Beasts: "..."

The three admirals of the Navy Headquarters were all on warships, confronting me from a distance.

Young man, who gave you the courage to ram the boat?

Kaido muttered to himself, but he didn't want to dampen Jack the Drought's enthusiasm.

Who doesn't know that the most loyal crew member on this ship is Jack the Drought?

If something happens, he's really brave enough to take on the challenge!

Fortunately, just as Kaido of the Beasts was in a dilemma, a mechanically modified prosthetic limb draped over Jack the Drought's shoulder from behind, and a round, chubby face appeared beside him. Queen the Plague, as expected of the Beasts Pirates' strategist, immediately saw through Kaido's predicament and quickly said:

"Jack, always think things through before you act impulsively."

"If I could use my brain, what would I need Quinn for?"

Drought Jack retorted, leaving Plague Quinn speechless.

What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless.

Queen the Plague pushed Jack the Drought aside and came behind Kaido the Beasts. Like a cunning strategist, he smugly stroked his mustache, his chubby face bulging as he forced a smile, and said:

"I have three strategies, the best, the middle, and the worst, and I would like to offer them to you, sir."

"Oh?"

Kaido of the Beasts turned around, a hint of interest in his eyes.

Which three strategies?

"The best strategy is for our Beasts Pirates to stand by and watch the fire from the sidelines, waiting for the Navy's Buster Call to end. Whether the Navy wins or the Dark Lord Lee Sin wins, we can reap the benefits."

"Our strategy is to join forces with the Navy to kill Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night!"

"As a last resort, our Beasts Pirates should intervene to stop the Navy, and make peace with the Dark Lord Li Qing, inviting him to join our Beasts Pirates!"

Queen the Plague has followed Kaido of the Beasts for so many years, so he naturally understands that his boss has always liked to bully the weak and fear the strong. If a problem can be solved by force, he will never use his brain. But if a problem cannot be solved by force, Kaido of the Beasts will not hesitate to use tricks and schemes to achieve his goals.

After hearing Queen the Plague's opinion, Kaido of the Beasts grinned.

"The admirals at the Navy Headquarters aren't fools; they won't let us get in their way here."

"Men, retreat!"

Kaido of the Beasts was a man of his word, and the entire Beasts Pirates dared not disobey him. They quickly turned their ship around and left in the direction they had come from.

The three admirals of the Marine Headquarters only breathed a sigh of relief after the fleet under the Beasts Pirates had moved far above the horizon.

Admiral Borsalino, with an exaggerated expression, patted his chest and exclaimed repeatedly:

"How scary, how scary! It almost scared me to death."

Seeing his exaggerated expression, which conjured up the scar Yang Ming had left on his face, Kuzan, the general of Aokiji, secretly rolled his eyes.

Afterwards, Admiral Kuzan turned around and found his beach chair on the deck. He lay down comfortably, removed the eye mask from his forehead, and immediately fell into a long-lost nap, enjoying a moment of peace.

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu stood like a stone statue, ignoring the two men beside him. He stood ramrod straight on the deck, his eyes like unsheathed swords, gazing sharply in the direction of Dressrosa Island. He maintained his composure without wavering, unmoved by anything outside his sight.

The warship sailed silently, getting closer and closer to Dressrosa.

As the isolated island of Greenbit gradually came into view ahead, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the soldiers on deck.

"what happened?"

General Kuzan of Aokiji lifted his blindfold, stood up abruptly, and looked in the direction of the soldiers' gazes, a look of astonishment appearing on his thin face.

"What it is?"

Dressrosa Island, which is usually sunny, was unusually shrouded in dark clouds today.

Dark, heavy clouds covered the sky, with serpentine arcs of lightning flashing by from time to time, accompanied by oppressive thunderous sounds.

The forest environment on which the little people depend for survival has been cleared to create a flat area. A pitch-black castle, entirely constructed of shadows, rises from the ground. On the castle, which is tens of meters high, sits a king's throne. A figure shrouded in shadow sits on the throne with his arms outstretched, and a pair of deep blue lights shine through the ancient abyss mask as he looks down at the warships that have come from afar.

Amidst the flashes of pale lightning, Yang Ming's tall and imposing figure was revealed.

After killing Pica, Yang Ming's Shadow Alchemy absorbed the "stone" properties of the Stone-Stone Fruit, enabling the shadows to create this enormous shadow castle.

Two jade dogs, one black and one white, lay on either side of Yang Ming. After being amplified by the Shadow Alchemy, the two jade dogs were as big as calves, with eyes and sharp teeth all over their bodies. This appearance was enough to be a nightmare for many people.

Thousands of death knights clad in tattered, black armor stood atop the fortress walls. These fearless and tireless undead creatures exuded an aura that unsettled the living.

Shadow Castle, Nightmare Jade Hound, Death Knight, Dark Lord—these elements intertwine to create a breathtaking scene.

Seeing this, it's no wonder that even well-trained soldiers couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Sensing a slight wavering in morale, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu frowned slightly, his arms hanging naturally at his sides. Scorching magma spread from his fingertips down his palms to his arms, and then he unleashed a powerful punch from a distance.

"Big fire-breathing!"
