One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Kahn leaned on the ship's railing, gazing in the direction of Wano Country, and asked, "Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"No gambling."

Lena wasn't fooled. She said, "I'm not Kaido. I've lost so many times, yet I keep gambling. They've never won against you. I know none of us can beat you in this regard."

"Gamblers end up with nothing."

Kahn sighed and then explained to Lena, "It's now confirmed that the Roger Pirates were behind my actions, and Roger himself would not have agreed to such an action. As a powerful figure, he wouldn't harm civilians."

"Roger won't harm civilians?"

Lena raised an eyebrow, a barely perceptible glint of anger flashing in her eyes, and guessed, "Was it a member of the Roger Pirates acting on their own, trying to lure me out and avenge their comrades Jabba and the others?"

So many innocent lives were taken away in the pursuit of revenge.

“Lena, the members of Roger’s Pirates are all reckless pirates. It’s not surprising that they do anything, because Roger’s Pirates are the freest pirate crew on the sea. Even if Roger set rules, his crew broke them. Could Roger really follow the rules? I couldn’t, and he certainly couldn’t.”

The issue of siding with relatives regardless of right or wrong.

Human nature.

Kahn spoke confidently: "I can guarantee that Rayleigh and his men must have scouted the area in the Hive Sea beforehand and carefully observed the situation in secret for a long time before rushing back to Wano Country to inform Roger, just before the appointed time for the battle."

"Upon learning the news, Roger, with his abilities, would have vaguely guessed what had happened. Roger would be angry, but he wouldn't actually harm his crew members. He was someone who cared deeply about his comrades."

"The loss of his comrades left a thorn in Roger's side, and there's a high chance he won't leave Wano Country with them. Given the time constraints, he'll come to me alone to avenge Jabba and the others."

"..."

Kahn commented, "Rayleigh is a very meticulous man. If it weren't for the fact that my intelligence network is much stronger than his, Rayleigh could have successfully completed his plan against any other opponent."

"elder brother."

Lena worriedly said, "If Roger goes alone, it will be very difficult for us to attack Wano Country. Wano Country itself is not weak, and its samurai are quite powerful. Add to that the other members of Roger's pirate crew, including 'Dark King' Rayleigh, a top-tier fighter, as well as Oden and other great pirates... This..."

"Lena".

Kahn pointed out, "I know what you're worried about. We're not going to wipe out the entire Roger Pirates or eliminate all the samurai in Wano Country. The cost would be too high, especially since we also have a duel with the Wald Pirates..."

"So we're going to cause trouble and, incidentally, acquire the Seastone processing technology from Wano Country. I refuse to believe that anyone outside of Wano Country wouldn't be able to learn this technology once they get their hands on it. At that point, the Sea Kings won't pose much of a threat."

"We can build the sea train from the Kingdom of Drum and Magnetic to Upside Down Mountain, all the way to the Grand Line... until it covers the entire world..."

Compared to the world government's plan to spend a lot of manpower, financial resources and materials to build a bridge that takes hundreds of years and is not even half completed, it is far superior.

Those who have received an education, such as Tom and Kaido, believe that the World Government's bridge-building initiative is something that only someone with brain damage could do.

Perhaps it was just a momentary lapse of judgment by the world government leadership, wanting to create some kind of superficial achievement.

It resulted in the deaths of countless people.

Building those wasteful bridges.

It's far better to build bridges and roads on various deserted islands.

They built one place after another suitable for ordinary people to live in.

"...We can forge special weapons using Seastone...Even if we don't take this opportunity to attack Wano Country, the Roger Pirates will still secretly follow us to help Roger. Why not take advantage of Roger's absence and give them a good beating to weaken their fighting power in advance?"

"There's no need to consider the possibility of the entire Roger Pirates being mobilized."

"..."

If the entire army were to be mobilized.

Wano Country lets them do whatever they want.

Kahn analyzed all the possibilities and clarified the pros and cons.

"That's amazing."

Lena clapped her hands and praised him from the bottom of her heart, "Brother, we all think you are the most perfect person in the world."

"Perfect?"

Kahn said dismissively, "Don't flatter me. The higher you stand, the harder you fall. I don't want to be the expectation of too many people; it's too tiring."

"Ah."

Lena smiled and said, "Brother, you will always be my expectation."

"Hahaha!"

Kahn laughed heartily.

Chapter 197 Wano Country: Roger and Oden

The country of peace.

Roger!

Rayleigh said with a mixture of surprise and worry, "A shocking conflict has erupted between 'World Destroyer' Wald and 'White-Haired Asura' Kahn. The two sides will have a decisive battle in a few days, a fight to the death."

"Rayleigh."

Roger asked in surprise, "What's been happening at sea lately? Explain clearly."

"What?!"

Oden, standing nearby, exclaimed, "What on earth happened outside?"

Wano Country has a unique geographical location.

The entire country was in a phase of 'closed-door policy'.

Isolated from the world.

Oden was a restless nobleman who longed for the excitement of the outside world. He had absolutely no talent for navigation, but he admired the members of Roger's pirate crew and wanted to join them to sail the seas together.

"Oden."

Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and said, "Don't interrupt me. I'm talking about something important, so listen carefully."

"Oh~" Oden said with an indifferent expression.

Rayleigh was in a terrible predicament.

There aren't many easy-going guys in the pirate crew.

Several years ago, members of the Roger Pirates began investigating islands connected to Wang Zhi's faction.

They kept a close eye on the islands controlled by Wang Zhi's faction.

They hoped to use this opportunity to find Kahn's whereabouts.

Over the years, many islands belonging to Wang Zhi's faction have been confirmed, including the island where Wang Zhi first brought Kahn.

If Shakky's intelligence hadn't been cut off, they could have found this information much faster, and perhaps even learned about Lena's whereabouts. Before Cain took her away, the Roger Pirates could have made a preemptive strike.

But there are no "ifs".

The Roger Pirates spent a lot of energy just investigating intelligence, secretly fighting the Wald Pirates, and changing the Wald Pirates' course.

They didn't know that Kahn had been on that island for a period of time.

Rayleigh had been to that island alone once, and witnessed that paradise-like island. He was filled with a complex mix of anger and inner turmoil, and wanted to take action, but his remaining conscience made him put down his sword.

You can't do it yourself.

Letting the Wald Pirates do the work would make Rayleigh feel that he was still kind, at least he didn't personally kill the people on the island.

Yes~

In the future, when Roger ushered in the Great Age of Pirates, he did not personally kill innocent civilians, but this led to a greater variety of pirates and a more chaotic sea.

Ordinary people became the victims of the times.

During the Age of Exploration, ordinary people had neither the strength nor the ability to resist; passively accepting their fate was the reality.

The Roger Pirates were forced to use this method to coax that damned Cain out.

Thinking about it that way...

Rayleigh learned from the news that the plight of the civilians on the island belonging to Wang Zhi's faction was much more bearable.

At least they didn't do it themselves.

I can live with myself.

Rayleigh didn't want to resort to such methods.

Roger couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take Kahn's life to avenge their comrade Jabba.

The members of Roger's pirate crew wanted to do something for their captain.

"Wow~ Hahaha!"

Roger laughed wildly and said, "Rayleigh, I know you did all this for me, and I hope you won't do it for me again. The civilians are innocent, and they shouldn't have died because of this."

"Roger..."

Rayleigh's eyes shone brightly as he saw Roger in that era. "No more. Once we've dealt with Kahn, we'll sail the seas freely again, just like before, and turn the world upside down."

The rest of Roger's crew looked on with anticipation.

This includes Oden, who has always longed for the sea, and who considers Roger a great hero and the members of Roger's pirate crew to be remarkable figures.

Their opponents.

Definitely a bad person!

"Little Logi."

Oden shouted, "Let me and the samurai avenge you! I've long wanted to fight the strongest warriors of the sea! My blood is boiling!!!"

Roger looked at his crew and the newly acquainted Oden and others.

His gaze was calm.

There was no madness.

There was no sign of extreme emotional breakdown or extreme anger; instead, he resembled a powerful and charismatic sea king.

"Kahn is a formidable opponent."

Roger commented, "Jabbar...they deserved to die at his hands."
