Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The support that the Warring States period brought in would only consist of mid- to high-level combat forces.

After the two left, the remaining people in the room exchanged glances for a moment, then gradually left the room...

World of Nations, Cake Island.

As the island where Charlotte Linlin resides, it is undoubtedly the core area of ​​the Totto Land seas, and all important intelligence will be sent here first.

"...Red-Haired Shanks? Kaido? How did these two end up together?"

Looking at the newly released intelligence, Charlotte Linlin grabbed a handful of freshly baked egg tarts and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing them roughly while letting out a strange laugh.

But he had no intention of investigating the matter. Even if Kaido and Shanks were to fight... it would have some connection to her, and she could take the opportunity to seize some territory.

'Yes, we need to prepare.'

Shanks and Kaido might not necessarily fight, so we don't need to worry about them for now. However, Whitebeard and the Marine Headquarters will definitely fight.

After this battle, the Whitebeard Pirates' strength will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and even Whitebeard himself...

In short, it's a good time to grab territory.

Charlotte Linlin tossed the letter containing the intelligence aside and turned to look at someone in the room: "Perospero, how are the preparations for the voyage going?"

“Everything is ready, Mother,” said Charlotte Perospero, the Candy Minister of the Kingdom of Tottoland, with utmost respect.

"Very good, we'll set off once the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy start their battle."

Charlotte Linlin was very satisfied.

Inside the room, some of Big Mom's other children were echoing her, saying things like "Success is inevitable," while others stood rather silently...

In a corner of the room where no one was watching, Fang Rui stood in the shadows, leaning against the wall, holding an egg tart in his right hand. He took a small bite and complained, "It's a bit too sweet! Although desserts are indeed sweet, this is a bit too cloying... that's a bit excessive!"

He stuffed the unfinished egg tart into Homitz's mouth, condensed a handful of clear water to wash his hands clean, and then began to analyze Big Mom's words.

"It seems Big Mom is also planning to get involved."

"It truly is an event that has the potential to impact the entire world."

Fang Rui clapped his hands and laughed, quite pleased: "Originally I thought that to throw the entire Big Mom Pirates into the battlefield, I would need to set up a clone on each island, but now it seems... two or three clones can accomplish this."

"What a 'perfect' teamwork!"

With that, Fang Rui's figure disappeared from the shadows.

At that moment, Katakuri turned to look at a shadowy spot, a strange feeling creeping into his mind: 'A sweet smell? What are the Homitz eating?'

GM Army, a temporary base.

Sabo looked at the letter containing the information and made a face with a pained expression: "Unexpected situation, why would Shanks go looking for trouble with Kaido?"

"Who knows? I've never cared what pirates think," Monkey D. Dragon said calmly.

"Chief, why are you still so calm!" A regular GM soldier standing nearby was getting impatient. Such a good opportunity might not come twice in decades, or even centuries.

"Don't worry, someone will handle this. We'll proceed to the meeting point as planned and there's no need to concern ourselves with anything else."

Upon hearing the dragon's words, everyone regained their composure and left the area one after another to continue their unfinished mission.

But Sabo did not leave. He looked at the dragon and said, "Chief, I request to act alone."

"...You want to save Ace?" After a moment of silence, the dragon asked.

“Yes,” Sabo said honestly, without denying it.

“Okay.” Dragon did not refuse Sabo’s request.

The other factions, upon receiving this message, underwent some changes and awaited further developments.

Meanwhile, Kaido and his crew arrived at the sea area where the Beasts Pirates fleet and the Red-Haired Pirates were facing off.

An island descended from the sky, creating a tense and imposing scene that immediately drew the attention of both sides in the standoff.

"A scene that looks familiar!"

Shanks' lips twitched as a nearly forgotten memory suddenly resurfaced, and the image of a man with wild blond hair appeared in his mind.

"Come to think of it, I really haven't heard anything about him being killed!"

Shanks' lips twitched slightly, his tone somewhat subtle: "Really, even the old master..."

Before he could finish speaking, an angry roar came from above.

"Redheads!!!"

A giant blue dragon leaped out from the island and coiled above it, its furious eyes locking onto the red-haired pirates. Its scorching breath descended from the sky, heading straight for the Red-Haired Pirates' warship, the Red Voss.

"What a warm greeting!"

Shanks instantly drew his sword, unleashing a sharp slash that shot straight into the sky, tearing apart the heat breath.

Upon seeing this, the warship's helmsman immediately began to maneuver the ship.

At the same time, the Beasts Pirates were on their side.

"It's Boss Kaido!"

"Boss Kaido is back!"

"As expected of Boss Kaido!"

A group of ordinary pirates cheered...

But Queen the Plague did not cheer. He stared at the floating island in the sky and realized that the reason the island was floating was not because of Kaido...

"Could it be some old man?"

Queen muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed: "Hiss~ Where did Kaido find him from, and how did he persuade him?"

"Hehehehe, red-haired kid, you're not as strong as Roger!"

Accompanied by a burst of arrogant laughter, a golden figure descended from the sky, followed closely by...

It was a series of sharp slashes!

"Lion... Thousand Cut Valley!!!"

A dazzling golden light and a sharp aura rushed towards us.

"God avoids!!!"

Without the slightest surprise, Shanks swung his sword to meet the claw-like slash.

The two collide and cancel each other out...

"Hahahaha, as expected of Roger's crew!" The Golden Lion's laughter remained arrogant, tinged with a hint of satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with Shanks' abilities.

As a crewmate of the Pirate King, how can you not have matching strength?!

"Golden Lion, you've been gone for so long, how come you suddenly reappeared and are hanging out with Kaido..."

Shanks gripped his sword hilt tightly. From the clash just now, he could sense that Shiki's strength was definitely not weak. As for how much weaker he was compared to Shiki in his prime, Shanks wasn't quite sure...

After all, during Shiki's prime, he was just an ordinary apprentice pirate, not qualified to fight Shiki, and not even qualified to be given a second glance by Shiki.

Speaking of which, the Golden Lion's legs should have been broken, but they are intact...

Was it cured by someone?

Devil Fruit abilities are incredibly diverse, so it's not surprising that one of them could heal Shiki's injuries.

"Of course, what Kaido said was very interesting, it would be a real shame not to participate personally~"

As he spoke, the golden lion gradually became excited.

Although he once conquered Marineford, attacking Marineford is nothing compared to attacking Mary Geoise; they are not even in the same league!

The latter is much more exciting...

"Is that so..." Shanks' expression was serious. Because Shiki often talked to Captain Roger about conquering the world, Shanks knew Shiki quite well. The fact that Kaido could persuade Shiki to help meant that what he was planning to do was definitely... not small!

but……

One Golden Lion alone is enough to leave him helpless, add Kaido on top of that...

There's no way to stop them!

How could two flying creatures possibly stop them!

One of them, in particular, can carry the others along.

Therefore, his plan to intercept the Beasts Pirates has been declared a failure.

“That’s terrible!”

Shanks was pondering whether he could catch Shiki off guard and seriously injure him if he suddenly unleashed his power.

After careful consideration, it seems unlikely.

But... how will you know it won't succeed if you don't try!

Thinking this, just as Shanks was about to make his move, several figures descended from the sky.

Boom boom boom...

It crashed straight onto the deck of the Red Fox, and even with the Red Fox's sturdiness, it still managed to leave several dents.

"How could it be you?"

Looking at the people falling from the sky, Shanks' expression could be described as one of giving up the struggle.

Barrett, Bondi Wald...

With this group of people gathered together, what is there for him to struggle about?

"When did you guys come out of Impel Down?" Shanks asked casually.

"A few days ago, I think!" Barrett, who was quite familiar with Shanks, replied to Shanks's inquiry, but did not give a specific time.

'...That explains why he didn't receive news of Barrett and the others' escape; it was blocked!'

At times like these, the Navy certainly won't allow news that could damage morale to spread.

'but……'

Looking at the lineup before him, Shanks thought it was more than enough to take on the World Government, let alone Marineford.
