Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 547 Enies Lobby, where Ace is secretly imprisoned, and the guests

Marineford.

In the Admiral's office.

After the news of the World Government's arrest of Ace broke, Vice Admiral Garp learned about Portgas D. Ace's secret arrest and also learned about the Navy's plan.

Lieutenant General Garp stood in front of his desk, clenching his fists in anger, looking at his old friend: "Sengoku, if I hadn't seen the news, I wouldn't even know my grandson was about to be executed..."

"..."

The Buddha remained silent during the Warring States period.

Kabuto Yakushi sat on the chair next to him, adjusted his glasses, and said softly, "Vice Admiral Garp, Portgas D. Ace is being held at Enies Lobby."

As for why we kept the arrest of Portgas D. Ace a secret, it was because we hadn't yet decided whether to start this war.

Execution is now inevitable. If Vice Admiral Garp wants to visit him, he can do so now. If Ace is willing to surrender to the Navy… joining the Navy as the son of the Pirate King would be far more beneficial than executing him.

Kabuto the Pharmacist makes a lot of sense.

If the Pirate King's son chose to surrender and join the Navy, the benefits would be far greater than executing him. Even the Five Elders would no longer want to execute Ace, and would even spare no effort to protect him.

Unfortunately…

Everyone knows this is impossible.

Even Monkey D. Garp knew that given Ace's stubborn personality, Garp had always hoped that Ace would join the Navy and become a Marine Admiral in the future. Even though he was Roger's son, Garp was certain that Ace would live a peaceful life...

But Ace chose to go to sea…

He would rather die than join the navy.

"I'd like to go see Ace..."

After finishing his speech, Monkey D. Garp left the Fleet Admiral's office without waiting for Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's reply.

Garp has obtained the information he wanted and is about to board a warship to travel from Marineford to Enies Lobby.

Kabuto didn't say anything to stop him. He just watched Garp's departing figure, slowly pushed up his glasses, and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Perfect timing...

When Vice Admiral Garp visits his grandson at Enies Lobby, he might also encounter another grandson who has come to walk right into his trap. I wonder if he will make a move?

The port and docks of Marineford.

Garp stood at the bow of his warship, gazing at the bustling harbor of Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy, and at the naval units saluting him...

The old man's expression gradually became complicated.

he…

He's a member of the Navy too...

He even dedicated most of his life to justice.

"Let's go, to Enies Lobby!"

Garp clenched his fist, whispered an order to his adjutant, and the dog-headed warship sounded its horn and slowly left Marineford.

Even after Karp's warships left, Marineford continued to be bustling with ships and people.

Naval warships were moored at the docks of Marineford, and naval soldiers lined up to disembark and, led by their officers, took up positions in the Marineford barracks.

Because the target of this world war is the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, and it may even include the Red-Haired Pirates, making it larger than any previous war!

Even the Battle of God Valley and the Battle of Etwal more than 30 years ago were far less significant than this war!

According to Kabuto Yakushi's plan, they will mobilize more than 100,000 elite naval personnel for this operation, effectively wiping out the elite navies of the entire Four Seas and the Grand Line.

Most of the lieutenant generals at headquarters were also transferred back to Marineford.

Besides that…

There's also the CP department under Kabuto Yakushi's command.

Most of the CP0 members around Mary Geoise were transferred to Enies Lobby and Marineford in batches, and the Holy Land's defenses appeared extremely weak.

Fortunately, Mary Geoise is not too far from Marineford.

Because the World Government wants to rely on the victory in this battle to completely gain the upper hand over pirates and gradually end the Great Pirate Era starting from this battle!

According to Yakushi Kabuto's calculations...

The Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Akatsuki have all declared war on each other. Their war is bound to be protracted. With these major powers unable to come to the rescue, the Navy and the World Government have an almost 100% chance of winning.

even…

Not long ago, when Kabuto Yakushi reported this plan to the Five Elders, he also mentioned with great interest the pirate war that broke out first.

If the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates were to suffer heavy losses, the Navy might be able to capitalize on their victory and sweep across the entire sea, wiping out all the great pirates in one fell swoop…

I have to say…

The scenes depicted by Kabuto Yakushi are very captivating.

Moreover, everything was indeed developing in accordance with Kabuto Yakushi's plan.

According to intelligence from CP0, the headquarters of the Akatsuki and the Beast Pirates are now empty, and the entire Beast Pirates have been mobilized to attack the Big Mom Pirates.

The CP agents who infiltrated the two pirate crews will keep a close watch on the movements of the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, which gives the World Government some peace of mind so that it can focus on dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

The only problem is…

The red-haired woman, the one who went on the high seas.

After learning that the war between the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates had begun, Shanks was no longer worried that Kaido of the Beasts might interfere.

Instead of heading to the Beast Sea, Shanks traveled directly to Mary Geoise aboard the Red Voss, hoping the Five Elders would release Portgas D. Ace.

This request was, of course, rejected.

Releasing Portgas D. Ace at this time would mean the World Government is weak towards the Whitebeard Pirates, which would severely damage the World Government's prestige!

Moreover, the World Government has already made full preparations, mobilizing a large amount of naval forces in advance, and has planned everything in advance to win the war!

It's absolutely impossible to release Ace now!

The arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released!

only…

Considering the situation, the Five Elders made another suggestion to Shanks: they agreed to secretly conduct a trial on Enies Lobby and directly acquit Crocus, thus releasing Crocus, the former doctor of the Roger Pirates.

This can be seen as a gesture of goodwill towards Shanks.

Unfortunately…

Red-haired Shanks wants to save Crocus, and he also wants to save Portgas D. Ace. This guy wants everything!

therefore…

Their talks naturally broke down.

After leaving Mary Geoise, Shanks planned to sail from Fish-Man Island to the first half of the Grand Line aboard the Red Fox.

Ben Beckman, while helping the shipwrights with the coating, frowned and said, "Shanks, it seems your pride isn't of much use. This war is inevitable..."

"Hahahaha..."

The group of pirates couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Red-haired Shanks scratched his head and continued with a grin, "But it doesn't matter, I've already found out where Ace is being held..."

"Should we tell Whitebeard this?"

Ben Beckman put down his tools and lit a cigarette for himself. "Speaking of which, why would the Five Elders tell you this secret? Before the public execution, Portgas D. Ace's place of confinement should have been top secret..."

If the Whitebeard Pirates had secretly rescued Ace before the World Government's public execution, the World Government's plans would have been ruined...

certainly…

It could also cause the war to start earlier than planned.

After all, the Navy is paying close attention to the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates, and it's impossible for them to turn a blind eye when the Whitebeard Pirates are on the move.

"I'm not going to tell them."

Shanks shook his head, chuckled, and said, "Although the World Government is keeping this information very secret, it's not exactly a secret in the Celestial Dragons' residential area of ​​Mary Geoise... Let's head straight to Enies Lobby!"

After the Red-Haired Pirates finished coating the Red Voss, the pirate ship quietly submerged into the sea. They would pass through Fish-Man Island, bypass the Red Line, and head towards the first half of the New World.

Just after Shanks left Mary Geoise, a CP agent who remained in Mary Geoise immediately relayed the message to the CP headquarters on Enies Lobby.

[The intelligence has been sent out; Shanks has learned the location of Portgas D. Ace's imprisonment.]

Judiciary Island.

This headquarters of the CP department is home to many elite combat forces.

Compared to Marineford, the defenses here are equally tight. The CP agent codenamed Madara Uchiha, the Second Mizukage codenamed Gengetsu Hozuki, the Third Raikage codenamed A, the Second Tsuchikage codenamed Mu, and the Fourth Kazekage codenamed Rasa.

In addition, there are also ANBU ninjas from various countries in the ninja world who have joined the CP department. The number of elite ninjas in the department has exceeded fifty squads, totaling more than two hundred people, all of whom are elite Jonin or special Jonin.

The army of Edo Tensei ninjas under Kabuto Yakushi's command, consisting of hundreds and thousands of immortal Edo Tensei ninjas, were hidden in the dungeons of Enies Lobby!

To put it bluntly...

This is a fighting force capable of destroying a nation!

According to Kabuto Yakushi's plans for the CP department over the past few years, this special forces unit must be guaranteed not to fall behind in either top-tier combat power or balanced combat power.

to this end…

Kabuto Yakushi completely purged the CP department, and all of the CP department's agents were now ninjas, thus ensuring that no secrets would be leaked without permission.

While Kabuto Yakushi is in Marineford, this CP division, led by Kakashi Hatake, is stationed on Enies Lobby, responsible for guarding Portgas D. Ace and Sabo, as well as collecting and summarizing intelligence from all over the world.

At the headquarters of the CP department.

Kakashi Hatake put down a Den Den Mushi, tugged at his mask, and said softly, "Hey, Tenzo, open the Gates of Justice on Enies Lobby. They shouldn't need to be closed for the next few days; our groups of guests are arriving soon..."

"Yes, Kakashi-senpai."

A man sitting opposite Kakashi Hatake slowly nodded. He was Yamato, a Wood Release ninja from another world, whose current codename was Tenzo.

Tenzang nodded slowly and said softly, "Then the first person to rush over should be Vice Admiral Garp, right?"

"Yes, I'll go greet him myself!"

Kakashi Hatake scratched his head, stood up, and slowly said, "Be careful, no one should say too much, lest someone discover our weakness. I heard that this naval hero once realized the danger of that Uehara guy just by looking at a photo..."
