It started from eating the Houkai Fruit in the Pirate World

Morik and Lobe, Saskar's former superiors, were standing before Yulandel.

"To put it simply, I just became the admiral, and I need a few stronger people to do the work. Saska alone is somewhat insufficient, so I thought of you who have some connections with me and are really catching pirates."

"General Yulandel, we trust both you and Saska. If you need us, Luo Bei and I will definitely help you, but our strength is indeed a little lacking."

Morik walked forward and said helplessly that compared to the still young Saska, they were a bit older, so it would not be so easy for them to improve their strength.

"That's easy, Krishna."

At Yulandel's command, Nico Robin took out a box and opened it, revealing two devil fruits inside.

"As for strength, you already have some, so all you need is a similar devil fruit."

"Devil Fruit!"

Morik and Lobe's pupils trembled violently. For middle and lower-level naval officers like them, devil fruits were almost out of their reach.

They didn't expect that after Yulandel gave Saska a devil fruit, she still had some in stock and was willing to give them to them.

"It is our honor to serve as Lord Yulandel's subordinates."

Morik and Lobe stepped forward, each picked up a devil fruit and bit into it. They did not ask what kind of devil fruit it was. After all, with their identities, it was unlikely for them to come into contact with a devil fruit.

After swallowing all the devil fruits, the two found it even more difficult to suppress the shock in their hearts.

The ancient form of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit is Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the mythical form of the Snake-Snake Fruit is Yamata-no-Orochi. These are the devil fruits that Yulandel prepared for the two of them.

Combined with their own certain strength, it is enough for them to directly gain power close to that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Adding the power of Saska, the three of them working together are generally enough to solve general problems. Even if they encounter a strong man of the level of Golden Lion again, Yulandel will not be in a passive situation.

…………

When Yulandel arrived at the G15 base, the Five Elders were located there.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed that the Golden Lion has now fled to Whitebeard's ship."

"What on earth are those two guys, Garp and Zephyr, doing?! They mixed up earthquakes and levitation, and they're two guys who have a grudge against the World Government. Aren't they trying to kill the World Government?"

Venus roared. It was not enough that he couldn't beat Kiana, but now Whitebeard and Golden Lion had run together. Those two were lunatics who didn't care about what would happen to the world. God knew what they would do to the World Government.

"How about sending Ace to Whitebeard to reconcile?"

Saturn said helplessly.

"If Blackbeard hadn't told Morganus that Ace was the child of Pirate King Roger, this matter would have been easier to deal with. But if we give Ace to Whitebeard now, wouldn't that show our weakness to the whole world?" Jupiter felt that his hair had turned a little gray from worrying about it.

Bearded Mercury suggested, "Can't we find a way to pit Whitebeard the Golden Lion against Kiana?"

Mars shook his head. "First, there's no way. Second, we can't afford to fail."

Mercury almost wanted to curse. "So what should we do? Whitebeard can handle it, but the Golden Lion must be eliminated. And if we don't let Ace go, once Whitebeard starts a war with us, the Golden Lion will definitely take action too."

"Under pressure from Kiana, and facing two Sea Emperor-level fighters at the same time, they can't defeat them and can even run away. Can the World Government continue in this situation?"

Venus slashed the table in front of him. "Damn it! Didn't you say that only your card could defeat us? And here comes Kiana, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion? What the hell is going on?"

Jupiter rubbed his head. "Now is not the time to think about that. The most urgent thing is how to eliminate Whitebeard and Golden Lion without Kiana taking action."

"Eliminate Whitebeard and Golden Lion? At the same time, how is this possible!" Mercury sighed helplessly.

"It's not that it's completely impossible, but the risk is a bit high."

"What do you mean?"

"As long as the information about Ace's public execution is released, Whitebeard will take the initiative to contact the Golden Lion Alliance. After all, his sons are the ones he values ​​most. Compared to his sons, he can lower his face and ask for help."

"And Golden Lion wants to make a big fuss out of his hatred for the World Government, so there's a high probability that Golden Lion won't refuse Whitebeard's request."

"Once the two of them form a pirate alliance, they will definitely rush to the battlefield on the day we publicly execute Ace."

Before Jupiter could continue, Saturn stopped him. "No, it's too dangerous!"

"Once our high-end combat power gathers, and Kiana sets her sights on them, the World Government's high-end combat power will be completely destroyed, the confidence of the kings will collapse, and the entire World Government will be unsustainable."

Jupiter nodded. "You're right. This is the worst possible outcome, but have you ever thought about what would happen if we didn't do this?"

The other four Five Elders fell silent.

"The choice we face now is not how the world government can survive, but a choice between a path that will inevitably lead to death and a path that may not lead to death."

264 Enhanced Edition of Marineford

Seeing that the other four Five Elders were silent, Jupiter continued his analysis.

"Hand over Ace and ignore some other opponents. We may only have to face the Golden Lion, but the current World Government is unable to fight against the Golden Lion who can escape."

"Once the Golden Lion is free from restraint, he will wreak devastating damage on the world. A world government that cannot protect the kings will surely be abandoned by the many kings."

"To die in fear and to live in vain without status, power, and wealth—those kings have never set a low bar. Without their wealth and the support of their kings, the World Government will inevitably perish."

"And if we don't hand over Ace and instead orchestrate a battle to wipe out Golden Lion and Whitebeard, Kiana might take action. But considering she doesn't like large-scale wars, she might not do it."

Mercury looked at Jupiter. "Are we being too passive, betting everything on Kiana not taking action?"

Jupiter shook his head. "This is already the best possible outcome. Taking the initiative depends on strength, and we just don't have that right now."

"We're putting everything on the line that Kiana will abide by the treaty. Last time we won half of it. Kiana isn't waging war against us."

"As long as we can overcome this difficulty, it won't be a big deal to face the powerful enemy of the World Government. We can slowly wear down Kiana with time."

"This is a gamble. If you win, you get everything. If you lose, you get nothing. As for the scenario where you don't gamble, I've already analyzed the outcome."

"Piaopiao Fruit, when did the Golden Lion develop a brain?" Venus cursed.

Mars sighed helplessly. "I'm afraid there's someone behind him helping him. He's so eager to unleash chaos, it's almost impossible to think too much about who's behind it."

Saturn tapped his cane. "Morgance, damn it, I'll stew it sooner or later!"

Mercury looked at Jupiter. "One more question. Facing both Golden Lion and Whitebeard at the same time, what are our chances of winning?"

Jupiter continued his analysis. "If we completely abandon the New World and withdraw all of its high-end naval forces, the strength of the many vice admirals led by Momotosagi Chaton would be more than enough to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates' captain."

"Akainu and Sengoku, plus Garp, are enough to suppress Whitebeard, Green Bull, Kizaru, and Yulandel. If the three of them face the Golden Lion, it will be a near-certain kill."

"If necessary, we will send the remaining forces of CP0 for support. If Kiana doesn't show up, victory in this war will definitely be ours."

"If Kiana shows up, the end result for the World Government will be the same as if the Golden Lion went berserk."

Jupiter finished speaking and Venus looked up at the ceiling.

"In the end, whether we can survive depends entirely on what others think. Is there no other solution?"

Jupiter held his forehead. "The difference in terms of force is too great. Kiana's power is absolutely invincible. We can't defeat her by simply outnumbering her. Unless she wants to become a Celestial Dragon, there's no way we can break through."

"If it's the Celestial Dragons..." The idea from Saturn was directly rejected by Venus.

"We've tried it before. If she wants to become a Celestial Dragon, she can even become a high-level Celestial Dragon above us, but she doesn't intend to compromise."

Mercury was so angry that his teeth were itching. "That bastard Rozward is going to destroy the World Government because of him."

Jupiter waved goodbye and stopped dwelling on meaningless things.

"Rozward is already dead, and now is not the time to talk about this. Let's talk to Sengoku and publicly execute Ace. That way, Whitebeard will definitely come."

"The Golden Lion that comes with him won't be idle either. As long as the two of them fight the World Government together, we will have won half of the battle. The remaining half is to end the war as soon as possible and not give Kiana the opportunity to participate."

Venus gradually calmed down at this point. "Where is the war taking place? At the Navy Headquarters?"

Jupiter rejected Venus's proposal?

"No, we will fight at the original Marine Headquarters. Even though the original Marine Headquarters cannot stop Kiana, we must at least try our best to prevent Kiana's men from getting involved."

Everyone thought about the strength of Kiana's subordinates. Not only Aokiji, but Marshal Fu Hua was also an existence of unknown combat power. The result of being crushed in strength would be that fighting with anyone with some strength would be a gamble.

Kiana can lose, but they absolutely cannot lose.

"Got it. Contact Zhan Guo. Also, give Kiana more food this time. A war of this scale can't be concealed. In that case, why not make it clear?"

"That's fine. No matter what the conditions are, just agree to them. As long as the World Government can survive, that's all that matters."

…………

After the Five Elders finished their talks, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived.

"Hahahahaha! The Navy is about to publicly execute Portgas D. Ace, Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division."

"Whitebeard, are you too old to even protect your own son?"

The Golden Lion sat on Whitebeard's boat, looking as if he was gloating.

"Shiki, if you keep laughing, I'll throw you off the boat."

"Hahahahahaha, just relying on your body filled with all kinds of drugs?"

"Your condition isn't much better than mine. How long can you live? Two months? Or one month?"

"Tch, it's boring."

The Golden Lion threw the newspaper away and then looked at Whitebeard.

"Hey! Nugget, how about a pirate alliance? You and I both have very little time left, so how about a big fight and a perfect farewell for ourselves?"

"I'm busy saving my son, I'm not interested in making a scene."

"Hahahaha! It's okay, it's all the same. Anyway, we just need to deal with those navy. As for saving your son..."

The Golden Lion picked up Ace's newspaper and put his hand under his chin to read it.

"You don't look much like Roger, but it doesn't matter if you save Roger's son. Let's do it together, Whitebeard, how about we form a pirate alliance?"

Whitebeard glanced at the Golden Lion, then silently picked up the wine and started drinking.

The next day, Morgan's report spread throughout the world.

"White... Whitebeard and Golden Lion form an alliance!"

"When the Navy was about to publicly execute Ace, Whitebeard and the Golden Lion formed an alliance? You must be kidding!"

"Can the World Government really survive if it does this?"

"I don't know, but at least if the Golden Lion dies, we don't have to worry about an island falling on our heads one day."

The whole world became chaotic due to a report, and at this time, Yulandel was on her way to Impel Down.

265 The Battle of Marineford Begins

"Hahahahaha! Dad and Golden Lion are teaming up to attack the Marine Headquarters. Is there any better news than this?"

When the newspaper and the call for the Seven Warlords of the Sea came to Blackbeard, Blackbeard laughed wildly, as if his plan had succeeded.

With the power of the sniper, the former emperor's flag saw the newspaper and Fan Oka sighed. "All this is the guidance of fate."

"Hahaha! With Whitebeard and Golden Lion doing this, the devil fruits we can obtain won't just be the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. I wonder if any admirals will die in this battle. I want Akainu's fruit!"

Buggy said with a big laugh. He hadn't obtained the Power Fruit yet, so naturally he longed for the top devil fruit.

Poison Q coughed as if he was about to die. "Looks like we're lucky. Everything is going according to the Captain's plan. I wonder if this time I can give Zhuangzhuang, ahem, a devil fruit as well."

"Hahahaha, no problem! Whether it's the Navy or the Whitebeard Pirates, this battle is different from the previous ones. No matter who wins, the final outcome will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides."

"This time, the war isn't just about Daddy's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. I also want the Golden Lion's Floating Fruit!"

Blackbeard, dressed in gold and silver, laughed loudly and smashed the bottle in his hand to the ground. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had made the decision to kill Thatch and snatch the devil fruit when he was in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Lafitte straightened his hair. "Fufufufu, Captain, what should we do next? Should we go to the former Marine Headquarters first? Or should we go to Impel Down and find some new companions?"

"Hahahaha! Of course we'll go to the former Navy Headquarters first. Let's eat something there and replenish our energy. I haven't eaten at the Navy's high-end cafeteria yet. I wonder how the cherry pie there is."

"When the navy is about to start a fight with Dad and the others, we'll head to the sixth floor at the bottom of Impel Down to find our companions. Hahahahahaha, I can't wait any longer."

…………

When Blackbeard plotted against the navy and intended to gain companions from Impel Down.

Hannibal, the new warden of Impel Down, is welcoming Yulandel at the gate of Impel Down with Magellan, who was demoted to deputy warden due to the disappearance of all the prisoners on the sixth floor.

"Welcome, my sweetheart, Yulandel. Ah, I accidentally revealed my ambition."

"How come you are still like this?"

Deputy Warden Magellan had just said a word when he felt his stomach growling. Before Hannibal could say anything, he ran to the portable toilet next to him and sat on it.
