From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

"Also, Lingling, aren't you always annoyed by that naval base in front of your Wan State?"

"If everything goes according to plan, we will be like this in a month..."

-

In fact, the top naval officials were well aware of the impending war.

You have to know that in the original work, the Four Emperors occupied the entire New World. Their territory was large enough to have a war buffer zone and enough islands for their affiliated forces to live and inhabit.

The four emperors were able to restrain each other, but now with the emergence of Kujo Tachibana, the navy has gained an additional top combat force.

Not only did they not withdraw from the New World of the Grand Line, but they occupied a large territory in the New World. Now that the Three Emperors have become Four Emperors, their sphere of influence must certainly be redivided.

And who is the common enemy of these pirate emperors?

Needless to say, it must be the navy!

Unless the naval branch moves out of the New World, this war is bound to come, and it is difficult to avert it by personal will.

You have to know that the Emperor Pirate Group is not just a big ship, but hundreds or thousands of elite pirates!

The number of followers of every emperor-level pirate group is measured in tens of thousands. Let’s not talk about the Straw Hat Pirates in the later period. Before Luffy became the Pirate Emperor, how many people and ships did his Straw Hat Grand Fleet have?

If these people, like the current four emperors, all live in the New World, along with their families and friends, where do they get their daily food, clothing, and other necessities? Does it fall from the sky?

These are all resources!

Not to mention that the current Four Emperors still rely mainly on looting and exploiting the residents of the Grand Line to survive.

You can't let the members of the Emperor Pirate Group farm and raise pigs to make a living, right?

Then why are these people still playing with their lives?

There are so many places where they can't raise pigs and farm, why are they risking their lives to come to the Grand Line, the most dangerous place in the world, the New World?

Do not make jokes!

Ordinary people in this world, how could they go out to sea for ideals or dreams?

Isn't it for Pele, for wealth, and for your own future!

For desire and enjoyment!

And who are those people who dare to choose to be pirates?

Can those who are lawless, forced into desperate situations by life, and ambitious be good people?

Since you think that the current territory is not enough to sustain your current life, why not just drive one party out?

As for who to choose as the target?

Is there a better target than the navy, everyone's common enemy!

Therefore, the war that is about to take place in the New World is inevitable.

If the Navy does not give up the New World... Kujo Tachibana personally feels that a larger scene and conflict will break out, even larger in scale than the future Marineford War!

-

In the office of Admiral Sengoku at the Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

Even the political idiot Kujo Tachibana can think of this problem. How could he, nicknamed "Buddha's Warring States - Wise General", not be able to think of it?

When Zhan Guo thought about the call he received from Kujo Tachibana this morning, he wanted to laugh!

It was a sneer! It was a mockery!

Also reminded him of what he said:

"A world-shattering war is about to take place in the New World..."

"Headquarters must send people to the New World for support immediately!"

...

"Hehe..." Thinking of this, Zhan Guo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

If he reacted so slowly, he would have to wait for Little Orange to remind him.

Then isn’t his Zhan Guo’s assessment of the situation too low-level?

How can he be qualified to be the admiral of the navy?

"Garp, have you set off with Kuzan?" Sengoku looked up and asked outside the door.

"Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp and General Kuzan left the port an hour ago." The adjutant outside the door answered loudly.

Upon learning that the two had already set off on the warship, Zhan Guo continued:

"Okay, also notify all the generals above the rank of colonel who are still in the headquarters to arrive at the operations room in two hours, that is, before 3 pm, to await my orders."

"Yes!!" After saying this, the adjutant outside the door trotted out of the Marshal's office building of the Warring States Period.

...

At this time, Zhan Guo was also in the office and called the Five Elders... to report the matter to them.

This matter still needs the support of the World Government, otherwise the power of their navy alone will not be enough to fight against the four sea emperors!

Unless he is willing to give up the territory of the New World, but the question is, is he, Zhan Guo, willing to do so?

If he wanted to, there wouldn't be so many big moves in the Warring States period today.

After waiting for a while, the call from Sengoku was answered by Izambaron V. Nasujuro, one of the Five Elders.

This Five Elders Star with a very long name is in charge of finance.

He is the man in the animation who always carries a knife, wears a white Taoist robe, has a bald head and wears glasses.

He is also the only one among the Five Elder Stars who does not wear a suit and has a beard.

It is also rumored that the samurai sword in his hand is of the supreme level - the First Generation Kitetsu!

Chapter 71: Strength Exposed?

Therefore, Kujo Tachibana has always speculated that this God of Finance should also be a great swordsman with extremely profound attainments in kendo, but there is no record of him taking action in the comics.

-

Marijoa, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

The Five Elder Stars were gathered together at this time, and Nasujuro Sei had just answered the call from Navy Marshal Sengoku.

The five of them also understood the Navy's thoughts and opinions.

but!

However, the five of them unanimously rejected the idea of ​​sending troops to reinforce the navy.

The death order they gave to Zhan Guo was!

The New World's naval base must be preserved, but at the same time, the World Government is no longer able to provide additional assistance to the navy. This incident must be dealt with entirely by the navy themselves!

After all, it was Sengoku himself who made the original request to establish a naval branch base in the New World, and none of the Five Elders agreed.

But now that the naval branch base in the New World is in danger due to your unwarranted actions, the naval headquarters should be held responsible.

Moreover, in order not to waste the initial investment in branch construction, the navy must also hold on to the New World's territory and fight off the coalition forces of the New World's pirate emperors alone.

If he fails to do so, then he, the Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku, will be the first person responsible!

By then, the defeated navy should not blame the five of them for the temporary change of commander. The term of the Navy Marshal Zhan Guo may not be guaranteed to last until the end of his term...

-

In fact, this conflict is not a bad thing for their world government and the interests of the Celestial Dragons. On the contrary, it can be said to be a good thing.

The Navy Headquarters and the Pirate Emperor of the New World are at odds with each other.

For the rule of the Celestial Dragons in their world government, it will only become more stable.

...

You know, over the years, although pirates have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain because of Roger's inflammatory words.

However, the tenacity and perseverance of this generation of navy was something that the five of them had not expected. When the Great Pirate Era had just arrived, the five of them had thought that they should strengthen this generation of navy a little bit.

It would certainly not be appropriate to directly strengthen the navy, so the plan of the Seven Warlords of the Sea came into being at that time.

But who would have thought that among this generation of the navy, there would emerge a monster who is comparable to the three admirals!

In addition, the top combat power of the previous generation of the navy has not yet completely aged...

Such as Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr and others, which one of them is not considered to be an admiral-level fighter?

These people, together with the current three admirals of the navy, are as powerful as them...

Do not!

It is even possible that he has surpassed that monster who is currently one of the three admirals of the navy!

Vice Admiral "Soryu"!!

If all these people are counted together, the Navy is actually the most terrifying organization in the world!

No matter which emperor-class pirate group is picked out alone, they will not be its match!

Even if the Four Emperors unite, can they really defeat the Navy?

Regarding this, the Five Elder Stars all began to have some doubts.

After all, these are the top combat forces at the level of seven generals!

Although the combat power below the level of admiral may be at a disadvantage when facing the combined forces of the Four Emperors, the navy, which has top combat power, is not at all inferior.

Even the Five Elders couldn’t figure it out, how did this generation of navy do it?

Is it really a blessing from heaven?

This era is not actually the era of great pirates, but the era of great navy???

Thinking of this, the Five Elders were also a little confused.

You have to know that in the previous generation, there were strictly only four admiral-level fighters in the Navy Headquarters!

This also includes the marshal at that time - Cyborg - Sora!

The remaining three are Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr!

At that time, Garp had not even succeeded to the position of admiral. However, if Garp did not take over as admiral, the entire huge navy would never find a third person who was strong enough to succeed the admiral!

So everyone, don’t treat the combat power of the admirals as cabbage, because their target is the Pirate Emperor!

There may be slight differences between individuals, but they are definitely opponents of the same level.

In the previous generation, there were only four navies of this top combat power.

But in this generation, there are seven of them existing in the navy at the same time!

If Zephyr hadn't retired, Sengoku would still have to stay at the headquarters base, and if Admiral Kizaru hadn't been there, the five of them could find an excuse to transfer at any time.

Then the Five Elders think that even if the four pirate emperors join forces, they may not be the opponent of the navy of this era...

The navy of this era is really awesome!

It’s too powerful!!

The five of them even felt that this generation of the navy already had the potential to threaten the World Government and the rule of the Celestial Dragons, which they absolutely could not tolerate!

At the same time, this is unprecedented in the 800-year history...

-

The three admirals of the navy of this generation, "Akainu", "Aokiji" and "Kizaru", are already supermodels enough.

These three nature-type fruit ability users are ranked among the best in the history of the entire navy admirals in terms of the degree of fruit development and their personal strength.

However, now we have to add to this the general-level combat power of the previous generation who is still young.

Garp... Sengoku... Zephyr...

And the last one, a monster among monsters!

He is undoubtedly the world's greatest swordsman, a user of no fruit ability, but it is suspected that all three colors of domineering have awakened to the highest level, and he is not that old!

This kind of monstrous talent, coupled with his current strength!

The Five Elders could no longer understand this young man at all.
