Akainu could only slowly give up the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
"Next time, there may not be such a good opportunity..."
In the slightly dark office, Akainu's eyelids were lowered, and his cold eyes fell on the two newspapers placed open on the desk.
He held a cigar in his mouth, the flame at the end flickering in and out, and the white smoke filled the air, covering his face.
According to normal thinking, the major pirates in the new world are fighting each other, so the navy, as a hostile camp, will naturally be happy to sit back and watch the fight.
But Akainu is anything but normal.
He was willing to see pirates killing each other, and he was even more willing to get involved at the right time, in order to speed up the demise of the pirates.
That's why he sent the Green Bull to lead the team to find trouble for the Beast Pirates who had suffered huge losses.
It just didn't work out in the end.
But he also didn't expect that Mod would attack the Beast Pirates a second time, and eventually Kaido, known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, and the Beast Pirates created by Kaido, became overnight history.
Now, both the pirates and Barrett are in trouble.
If we can take the opportunity to solve one of these troubles, our goal of conquering the new world will be one step closer.
It's a pity that I can't spare it at the moment.
After Akainu gave up the idea, he stopped thinking about it.
What the Navy should do now is to ensure that the World Conference is held smoothly and to meet Vegapunk's research requirements as soon as possible, so as to increase the combat value of the New Pacifists to a higher level.
He always felt-
The moment when the era of great pirates comes to an end is coming.
... ...
The terrifying barque.
Maud meets Rebecca who comes to visit.
"World Conference..."
At the time of the World Conference, Dressrosa, one of the participating countries, was also a participant.
It's just that after Dressrosa has gone through so many things, its [status] and [identity] in the participating countries are no longer in name only.
Rebecca no longer plans to pay the heavenly gold, so it is naturally impossible for her to attend this year's World Conference.
It is only a matter of time before we officially withdraw from the franchise country.
Rebecca came to find Maud just to explain these things clearly to Maud.
After all, for the survival of Dressrosa and the future of the citizens of Dressrosa, Rebecca had long decided to make Dressrosa a part of Mod Sky City's plan.
"I already understand the general situation. You can go and do your work, Rebecca."
Maude nodded towards Rebecca.
If Rebecca hadn't come over to tell him this, he really wouldn't have paid attention to the time of the World Conference.
He vaguely remembered that during the last world conference, he and Lafayette, who had just gone to sea, destroyed a ship carrying the king of the participating countries because of the malicious behavior of a naughty boy.
That was already four years ago...
Thinking about it now, time flies so fast.
Maud was lost in thought.
Rebecca silently bowed to Maud, who was in deep thought, and then left quietly.
Dressrosa still has a lot of messes to clean up, and she is indeed very busy right now.
Maud, who was deep in thought, did not notice Rebecca's salute.
After he heard the news about the world conference, he immediately thought of the action to save the bears.
Last time he informed Sabo of the bear's whereabouts.
The first thing Sabo did after returning to the Revolutionary Army was to find a way to get more accurate information.
After a lot of effort, the revolutionary army later confirmed the news that the bear was in the Holy Land of Mariejoia, and also learned that the bear was undergoing inhumane torture.
It’s just that this is the Holy Land, Marie Joaquin after all…
Not to mention the difficulty of a frontal attack, even how to sneak in is a problem.
Now, as the World Conference approaches, it is an opportunity for Mod and the revolutionary army.
"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu..."
The phone bug on Maude's wrist suddenly rang with the sound of an incoming call.
He raised his wrist and looked down.
Although the call hadn't been answered yet, he vaguely guessed it was a call from Saab.
After all, there are only a few people who can call his number.
Snap.
Maude lifted the cover of her watch and the call was connected.
"Maude, is it okay to talk?"
Saab's urgent voice came from the small and exquisite black phone bug.
Maybe it's by chance, or maybe it's a tacit understanding.
As soon as Mod learned about the World Conference, Sabo immediately called.
"convenient."
Maud looked at the phone bug and said softly: "You want to talk about the 'World Conference', right?"
"ah?"
There was a cry of surprise from Sabo.
"Yes, I think this is a good opportunity to rescue bears."
Although he was a little surprised, Sabo got straight to the point.
"That's what I thought too, Sabo."
"That's great."
Sabo's tone was slightly excited. After reaching an agreement, he couldn't wait to talk about the plan to rescue the bears.
"A total of 47 participating countries will participate in this world conference. A large number of people will go to the Red Earth Continent... In that case, with my transparency ability and Jasmine's pushing ability, I will definitely be able to sneak in perfectly."
"sneak into?"
Maud was a little surprised.
This was different from what he thought.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
The black phone bug couldn't synchronize the caller's expression, but Sabo's current confused tone made it easy for people to imagine the confused look on his face.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear some low noises. It is obvious that there are other people around Sabo.
"Saab, during every World Conference, the Navy Headquarters will send a large number of troops to escort the kings of the participating countries who come to attend the World Conference. This means... once the Holy Land Mariejoia is attacked, most of the troops will have been dispatched. The Navy Headquarters that has gone out will not be able to provide effective support to the Holy Land Marie Joa."
Maude adjusted her sitting posture slightly and said calmly:
"So I think that before the navy escorts the kings of various countries to the Holy Land of Mary Joa, it is the opportunity to storm the Holy Land of Mary Joa."
“…”
After hearing Maud's words, there was a sudden gasp from the other end of the phone.
The revolutionary army, which is accustomed to linking rescue operations with infiltration plans, usually does not consider storming.
What's more, the place we want to infiltrate this time is the Holy Land of Mariejoia, where the ultimate enemy of the Revolutionary Army is located.
If we want to attack a place like this...
It was beyond their knowledge.
But strictly speaking, these words do seem like what Maud would say.
Or-
In their opinion, apart from Maud, there is probably no other person in the world who can say this and take action.
Chapter 448 Decision
Major events followed one after another, and the already turbulent situation suddenly became more chaotic.
Barrett's whereabouts are now unknown, and the Big.Mom Pirates just had a fight with Barrett and must have suffered a lot of losses.
After hearing the news, Mod's first reaction was to attack the nations where the Big.Mom pirate group was located.
However, at this point in time, the world conference is about to be held.
then.
The choices before Maud became two.
Taking advantage of the approaching World Conference, he attacked the Holy Land of Mariejoia to save the bears.
He also took advantage of the situation to attack the Big.Mom pirate group, which had just experienced a great battle.
Faced with these two choices, Maude chose to save the bear.
This was a promise he made to the Bears two years ago, and now it's time to fulfill it.
And it happened that Sabo had the same idea, so it became a certainty to go to the Holy Land of Mariejoia to save the bears during the World Conference.
However, there were differences in the opinions of Maud and Sabo.
One side thought that they could launch a strong attack on the Holy Land of Mariejoia when the navy itself was exhausted.
One party believes that they can wait for the teams of kings from various countries participating in the World Conference to arrive at the Holy Land of Mariejoia, and then take advantage of the crowds of people to complete the infiltration operation and rescue the bear at the minimum cost.
"Mod, there are variables in the attack..."
After Sabo calmed down, he did not accept Mod's proposal to attack.
On the one hand, this is because their lineup characteristics are more suitable for sneaking.
On the other hand, the revolutionary army's human resources are tight. During the World Conference, it is already the limit to be able to send out a small team including three army commanders and the chief of staff.
If Mod insists on attacking the holy land of Mariejoia, this team that mainly focuses on infiltration will expose its shortcomings and be unable to provide more combat assistance to Mod.
This is not what Saab wants to see.
"There are variables in infiltrating. Once discovered..."
Mod didn't tell the whole story, leaving Sabo with enough room for imagination.
The transparency ability plus the ability to push fruits can certainly ensure the stability of the infiltration operation to the greatest extent, but the infiltration operation cannot involve too many people.
Under this premise, if they are discovered and surrounded during the rescue operation, it means that their team of no more than ten people will face tens of thousands of enemies.
Unless they possess a magical escape skill similar to the [Door Fruit], it will be difficult to escape from Holy Land Mariejoia.
It's a pity that the shadow's ability to change shape cannot be used on other people.
Otherwise, you can carry out infiltration operations without any worries.
Therefore, Mod still advocates a strong attack, mainly because they have the strategic ability of [Fluttering Fruit].
"As long as we don't get discovered, it will be fine. With my transparent fruit ability and Jasmine's pushing fruit ability, the error tolerance is very high. Once the rescue operation is successful, Karas's crow can take us away."
Sabo responded to Moder's statement.
And his response is not a reflection of optimism, but the confidence and certainty that should be used when carrying out infiltration operations.
Without this confidence, the so-called infiltration operation is nothing more than a risky gamble.
"Well."
Maud groaned.
He originally wanted to wait for the results of [Chimera Research] and the idea of [Sound Bomb] to be realized before attacking the Holy Land Marie Joa.
As a result, before these preparations were completed, a world conference came only once every four years.
