"Do not."
The Five Elders, who seemed like intellectuals, laughed and said, "If we truly recruit them and make them part of us, we can use them to make up for our losses. In this way, when they maintain the rule of the World Government, they are also protecting their own interests. No one will give up maintaining their own interests to deal with those lowly people."
“Kahn is different from Miller and Dragon, and he is different from the Navy as well. He is the same kind of person as us.”
"..."
The other five elders nodded in agreement, even the Golden-Bearded Elder, who had initially been the most opposed, now agreed with the others. This Golden-Bearded Elder had chosen Roger back then.
However, all five elders now believe that the situation is under their control, and that someone like Kahn, who fits their mindset, will inevitably become part of them, contributing to the consolidation of their World Government's rule.
…………
On the floating island.
"The navy is so stupid."
Yamato laughed and said, "In the first few days after this period started, they started a live broadcast all over the world and promoted the war declaration for several days in a row, saying that the Navy Headquarters would definitely win. In the end, when no one came, they shut down the live broadcast."
"It is said that many people at sea have been mocking the navy during this period, and even those who support the navy have strange expressions on their faces."
"..."
For the past two weeks, Kahn, Kaido, Katakuri... they have all been resting and preparing, waiting until the Navy can no longer tolerate them before launching their attack.
The timing of this two-week period wasn't arbitrary; it was based on various intelligence reports and analyses. It was determined that the Navy Headquarters had its own people, and Kahn had many intelligent individuals under his command.
There are many intelligent people in the navy.
However, they held the dominant position and had an advantage that the navy did not have from the beginning. They did not mention the time, and the navy had more to consider than they did, which allowed them to gain the upper hand.
This is probably psychological warfare, intelligence warfare.
The war started from the very beginning.
Yamato recalled what Kahn had said and thought it was remarkable. He realized that war was not just about fighting and gathering all forces together for a chaotic brawl, nor was it simply about launching a war based on some preparation and planning.
When a war breaks out, many steps can be taken before the war even officially begins.
"Enel isn't that old either."
Yamato sighed, "Why can he go, but I can't? I really want to go and fight, I don't want to watch the live broadcast on the sky island."
…………
The moment 'Golden Lion' Shiki launched his attack, the World Government simultaneously began its operation. With all eyes and attention focused on this earth-shattering battle at Marine Headquarters, the Five Elders began to implement their plan.
Destroy the pirate alliance and return the world to normalcy.
at the same time.
Naval Headquarters.
Marineford.
Sakazuki's actions boosted the morale of the Navy and caused considerable losses to the Flying Pirates. Although Shiki didn't care about the lives of the newly recruited pirates, he couldn't save face by not achieving any results.
It won't be long before that guy 'Whitebeard' Newgate arrives.
The naval high command rushed back to their posts in a frenzy.
Sengoku rushed onto the high platform, took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) megaphone, and shouted loudly to calm the troops. The previously panicked naval group immediately calmed down.
Chief of Staff Tsuru also began to help, taking command of the Navy and the remaining three Shichibukai members.
Over the years, five of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were killed by Ryder, and Chinjao chose to withdraw. The Seven Warlords of the Sea were not replaced for a time. After all, powerful pirates are not stupid and do not want to become Ryder's target and be killed.
The only three remaining Shichibukai are William, Bartholomew Kuma, and 'the world's most beautiful woman' Hancock.
"Teacher Zephyr~"
Borsalino asked anxiously, his voice drawn out, "Didn't the World Government say they would give us support? Why haven't they sent anyone over yet?"
What's your rush?
Zephyr interrupted, "Our navy hasn't lost yet. We don't even consider 'Golden Lion' Shiki a threat."
Zephyr might not be able to defeat Shiki in a one-on-one fight, but the entire Navy is full of powerful individuals, so taking down Shiki the Golden Lion wouldn't be difficult, provided that Shiki the Golden Lion doesn't run away. If he does run away, the Navy won't be able to do anything about it.
They can fly.
It has a natural advantage.
"How scary~"
Borsalino was panicked. He had provoked Kaido back then and accidentally defeated him in the Beehive Sea. It was hard to imagine whether Kaido, who had completely become a monster, would seek revenge on him for what happened back then.
He seriously doubted that he could defeat Kaido.
You'll get beaten up.
I need to find an opponent to slack off on.
Borsalino looked up at the large, dark clouds that had suddenly appeared in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the clouds, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world, turning the originally cloudless sky gloomy.
"Is this a Devil Fruit user?"
Borsalino was taken aback at first, then retrieved information about the fruit from his memories and hesitated, saying, "A Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user? How terrifying~ Where did Shiki find this monster?"
The Navy's five supernovas.
Three of the Supernovas are Logia-type Devil Fruit users, and these three Marine Supernovas with Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities are significantly stronger than the other two Supernovas, with their strength approaching the top level.
He could put up a fight against the top experts in the ocean, but the chances of winning were slim.
"Sakazuki!"
Sengoku stared at the sky and roared, "Shiki has made his move! That's controlled lightning! Targeted specifically at you!!!"
"Meteor Volcano!"
Sakazuki ignored the dark clouds in the sky and focused solely on killing the other pirates, hoping to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
Numerous enormous lava fists are launched into the air, followed by a continuous shower of lava fists falling from the sky, turning the earth into a sea of lava and fire.
The land was engulfed in flames, and countless pirates, under Sakazuki's attacks, could only face death in despair.
…………
Sabaody Archipelago.
"As expected of the Navy! Even when caught off guard by a legendary figure, they were still able to react quickly and inflict heavy damage on a large number of pirates."
"I really don't understand. 'Golden Lion' Shiki isn't with Kahn and the others, so why would he gather so many pirates to attack Marine Headquarters?"
"'Golden Lion' Shiki is no ordinary person. I guess many people don't remember how similar Rocks' actions were to those of 'Golden Lion' Shiki during the God Valley War."
"Those pirates are just a bunch of fools, all consumables to be used. In recent years, there have been far fewer pirates. After this battle, the amount of trash on the sea will probably be reduced to a minimum, which would be the best outcome for civilians."
Who do you think will win?
"I don't know. If it's just 'Golden Lion' Shiki, he wouldn't be a match for the Marine Headquarters. But if we add Whitebeard, Kaido... and those monsters, the outcome is hard to predict."
"..."
These past few years, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have had the worst time. The sea has long been divided up by Ryder, Cain, and others. Even a powerful pirate like Charlotte Linlin only managed to have a territory in the New World because of her connection with the former Rocks Pirates.
New pirates like those who have just emerged simply cannot survive or make a name for themselves; their opponents are all too strong.
Weak pirates are all brainless; they challenge powerful figures and get killed. Powerful pirates are forced to or choose to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea may seem to grant some power, but in reality, the Navy doesn't care about the deaths of pirates, and the World Government doesn't care about the lives of its subordinates.
This led to Ryder defeating one Shichibukai after another over the years, making a name for himself, and few powerful pirates were willing to become Shichibukai anymore.
Many people with potential and strength did not choose to go to sea and become pirates in the first place. Instead, they chose to follow Ryder or Cain. Maybe they could have made it to a high position and never have to live the precarious life of a commoner again.
Ultimately, there's nothing we can do about these things.
Although the lives of ordinary people have improved a lot in recent years, the chaotic order cannot be eradicated so quickly. It is not as orderly as the United States in my previous life, after all, there are three powerful forces on the sea.
The world government's compromise was merely a forced and temporary one.
…………
Enel, the 'Thunder King', has requested to participate in the battle.
Shiki agreed.
Are you ignoring me?
Facing Sakazuki, who ignored the dark clouds and continued killing pirates below, Enel sneered, "Ignoring God, you only have one fate, and that is..."
Snapped! ! !
"Let's do it."
Shiki slapped Enel on the head and glared at him fiercely, startling Enel into nodding hastily and saying, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of that guy right away..."
"Divine retribution!!!"
Enel received systematic education and was taught by Shiki for many years. His strength surpassed that of the original work. At a young age, he already possessed the fighting power of a great pirate. Looking at the seas today, a bounty of seven or eight hundred million would not be a big problem.
A massive pillar of lightning descended from the sky, aimed at Sakazuki on the ground.
"How scary~"
Borsalino instantly transformed into his elemental form and soared into the sky. Sensing Enel's presence, he realized that this opponent wasn't as overpowered as he seemed, at least far weaker than Kaido.
Instead of fighting Kaido next, why not find this opponent and slack off together... Well, that's not quite right. Over the years, he has worked very hard to train his physical skills, and Borsalino's strength is almost that of one of the top-tier gatekeepers.
Defeating Enel isn't too difficult; it will only take a little time to resolve.
"The Eight-Span Jewel!!!"
Borsalino crossed his arms and unleashed a technique no less powerful than Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano. Each scattered light bullet accurately struck the area around the pirates, killing a large number of them. Most of the light bullets rushed towards the pillar of lightning, continuously consuming the power of the lightning.
A battle between light and thunder.
It produces a blinding light.
The world changed color.
"This light is really blinding."
"Fizz~ This is so interesting!"
Doflamingo strode over arrogantly. He had long been accustomed to this life and felt that hanging out with Shiki and Cain had not disgraced his former status as a Celestial Dragon. He even believed that the future world belonged to them.
