Half a month later.
Marine Headquarters, Marlene Ford.
In the top-level office, Marshal Warring States was holding a phone and said in a deep voice: "...continue to keep an eye on BIGMOM, and report any situation to the headquarters at any time."
In order to gather all the strength to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and ensure the highest chance of victory, Sengoku naturally wanted to recall Aokiji, and Aokiji's return means that BIGMOM has no one to take care of for the time being, which is a hidden danger.
However, BIGMOM's current location is in the North Sea, not in the Grand Line, and under the current situation, BIGMOM's choice is either to cause trouble for Ron's Albarez, or to disappear temporarily and develop its power again.
It is impossible to have another conflict with the navy in a short time.
Therefore, BIGMOM, a seemingly dangerous hidden danger, can be put aside for a short period of time.
The other four emperors, on the other hand, put greater pressure on the Warring States Period. One is Kaido of the Hundred Beasts. Kaido has been causing friction and chaos during this period, destroying several naval branches. It is difficult to ensure that Kaido will not come to the navy. This department is involved in this war.
The same goes for red-haired Shanks. Although he had intercepted Kaido of the Beasts a few days ago, when the real war began, no one could judge the red-haired man's thoughts.
If Red Hair, Kaido and Whitebeard join forces to deal with the Navy Headquarters, then even with the support of the government, the Navy Headquarters may not be able to withstand such pressure and will face the crisis of destruction!
"Red hair, Kaido..."
After Zhan Guo hung up the phone, he looked at the map in front of him with a thoughtful expression and said, "Even if there are any problems at this time, it is impossible to stop."
Sengoku temporarily put aside the question of Kaido and the red hair, turned to look at a headquarters lieutenant general in the office, and said: "Is the Shichibukai coming? Is Blackbeard still missing?"
The current Shichibukai under the king has changed several groups of people because of Ron. However, Tyrant Bear, Kaixia Jinbei, Empress and Hawkeye are all still among the Shichibukai. The only new members are Blackbeard and two other new members. A world-famous pirate.
The gathering of the Shichibukai ended a few days ago. All the Shichibukai, except Jinbei, were present and gathered at the Holy Land Marie Joa.
Today is the day of public execution. The Shichibukai took a navy warship and rushed from the Red Earth Continent to the Navy headquarters Marineford. The only problem was that Blackbeard disappeared a few days after arriving in the Holy Land of Mariejoia!
No trace so far!
"The Shichibukai have arrived and are arranging for them to wait in the quiet room. Blackbeard has still not been able to contact them and they don't know their whereabouts."
The Vice Admiral responded to Sengoku.
Warring States frowned, and when he was about to say something, the phone suddenly rang. He took the phone, and after listening to a few words, his expression changed.
"Report to the Navy Headquarters! This is Impel Down City! Report the emergency situation. Shichibukai Blackbeard Teach led his men to attack Impel Down City. Now Impel Down City has suffered heavy losses!"
"Repeat, repeat! Blackbeard has invaded the Impel Down City. Director Magellan is fighting to the death with the opponent, trying desperately to stop the opponent. Warden Shiliu is suspected of rebellion and joins the opponent... The situation is dangerous. Please ask for support from the headquarters. Please ask for support from the headquarters!"
Warring States' expression changed drastically. Just when he was about to say something, he heard a scream from the other side of the phone, and then the phone was forcibly hung up.
"Hey! Hey!"
Warring States called twice and tried to call back, but was unable to dial again. His face was ashen, and his eyes showed an angry look.
He slapped the table suddenly, instantly causing cracks like spider webs to appear on the thick solid wood table, and the entire table almost collapsed.
"Blackbeard! Damn it! Was that the purpose of that bastard?!"
Warring States gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger, clenched his fists, and said, "And that guy Shiliu... what are you doing!"
The possibility that Blackbeard would invade Impel Down City was raised by Chief of Staff He after the first day of his disappearance, but Sengoku did not pay much attention to it at the time.
On the one hand, Fire Fist Ace is imprisoned in Impel Down. No matter what Blackbeard does to Ace, Whitebeard's hatred will be attracted to Blackbeard, and letting go of Fire Fist also means nothing to Blackbeard.
On the other hand, Warring States did not think that Blackbeard would be able to break into Impel Down City so easily. After all, it was known as an iron wall, and it was supervised by Magellan, who he was extremely reassuring about.
Sengoku's definition of Blackbeard's strength was that he was stronger than Captain Ace, but far from Whitebeard, so he was relieved to have Magellan by his side.
can now.
What did he hear? !
Yu Zhiliu is suspected of rebellion!
Suddenly Warring States couldn't sit still.
Shiriu of the Rain is the warden of Impel Down City. He was temporarily imprisoned for killing prisoners indiscriminately. His strength is not much different from Magellan. Once he rebels, he joins forces with Blackbeard and releases some vicious prisoners at the same time. Then Impel Down City will be destroyed. It’s really going to be turned upside down!
"At this point in time, we cannot let people pass by."
Chief of Staff He's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice: "Whitebeard should be here soon. He seems to have carefully chosen the best time."
boom!
Sengoku punched the table again angrily.
Yes, we can't send people to Impel Down City now. Even if we know that Impel Down City is facing a huge crisis, we can only choose to believe Magellan.
There is nothing you can do if you don't believe Magellan. Now send a general there. If Magellan has been defeated, then one general will not be able to stop the chaos. If you send two generals, how can the headquarters fight against Whitebeard? !
Leaving aside the issue of combat power allocation, just talking about the Navy's military morale may not be stable.
That is the most terrifying Whitebeard among the four emperors! If there are two less of the three generals here in the headquarters, how can we fight with the opponent? At that time, the fighting spirit of countless navies will collapse.
"Blackbeard... is indeed a character."
Garp sat on the sofa not far away and spoke slightly silently.
He was in a bad mood. Even when he heard that Blackbeard had invaded Impel Down, he did not show anger, but only looked depressed because Fire Fist Ace was about to be executed.
As a grandfather, as a naval hero, he was squeezed in the middle and didn't know what to do.
"Kapu..."
Warring States was still a little worried about Garp's condition and rubbed his brows with a headache.
While dealing with Whitebeard, he had to worry about Garp's situation, and then something happened over there in Impel Down, which was simply torture for him as a marshal.
"Report to the Warring States Marshal! Fire Fist Ace has been escorted to the headquarters!"
At this moment, a navy man rushed into the office and saluted Sengoku and reported.
Hearing this, Warring States took a deep breath, walked to the corridor outside the office, glanced at the execution platform that had been arranged below, and the 100,000 naval elites gathered in the square, who were ready, and he slowly exhaled In that tone, he said:
"Let's go."
No matter what happens over there in Impel Down City, we can't control it now.
We must fight against the coming Whitebeard with all our strength!
