Holy Land Mary Geoise:
"It has been confirmed that most of the Pirates in the New World are sailing towards the Calm Belt. They likely intend to enter the Four Seas directly through the Calm Belt!"
"This scene is exactly the same as more than twenty years ago. At that time, the Rocks Pirates used this method to directly invade the Four Seas, plundered for a while, and then ran back to the New World. Now, these New World Pirates are doing pretty much the same!"
Scientific Defense Warrior God Saturn Saint analyzed.
"Since it has been confirmed, let the Marine and World Government personnel start moving out. Even if we can't determine which sea area they will attack now, we should at least depart from the Grand Line and head to the intersection of the Four Seas. Once the Pirates' movements are clarified, we will set off immediately. This will save us a lot of time."
Peter Saint, God of Agriculture said.
"That's right, the Marine has been nurtured for so long, it's time for them to shine. Send out the four Admirals and Garp. Sengoku will remain at Marineford."
Finance War God Nasujuro Saint said.
"No, most of the New World Pirates have already moved out. There is no danger at Marineford. Sengoku should also be sent out. We only have a few top-tier combatants. If Sengoku doesn't move, we won't be able to stop those Pirates."
"Also, order the Shichibukai who were recruited a few years ago to also go and stop those New World Pirates. Didn't we establish the Shichibukai precisely to use them to counterbalance the great Pirates of the New World?"
Saint Warcury said.
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"..."
As the Gorosei's meeting concluded, orders were issued from their mouths, and the entire Red Line began to tremble. Many Army personnel were sent out to deal with the New World Pirates.
As for why the Army would go against Pirates? The Gorosei didn't even consider issues like the Army getting seasick, being unfamiliar with naval warfare, and suffering heavy losses.
In their eyes, the Army were slaves, and they had as many as they needed. Since they were being kept anyway, it was better to send them out as cannon fodder during wartime.
With so many people and so many slaves on the Red Line, they wouldn't feel any pain no matter how many died.
Marine Headquarters Marineford:
After the Gorosei's orders reached the Marine, Sengoku immediately began to gather the Marine's top-tier combatants and various levels of Marine personnel. A large number of warships were prepared, mobilizing seventy percent of the entire Marine's strength.
The Marine had been recuperating for several years, and the middle and lower ranks had recovered a lot of vitality, allowing Sengoku to mobilize a force of 100,000 Marine personnel in one go!
Calm Belt:
"Splash, splash!!!"
The Calm Belt is the favorite habitat of Sea Kings. Many enormous Sea Kings reside beneath this Sea. Because of this, even though many people possess the automatic navigation system of Thomas Shipyard, they dare not sail here, as the Pirate King will destroy any ship that enters the Calm Belt!
However, the Limitless Pirates' fleet of over three hundred pirate ships sailed into the Calm Belt in a mighty formation, but the Sea Kings below seemed to turn a blind eye, or rather, they would be deterred by the immense Haoshoku and flee far away as soon as they approached.
After the major Pirate Crew from the New World entered the Calm Belt, they all sailed towards the South Blue, and then, at the edge of the Calm Belt, they tacitly began to gather!
"Kekekeke, Nox, it's been a long time!"
Golden Lion's massive Flying Pirates fleet flew down from the sky and landed on the Sea surface. Seeing Nox, he enthusiastically greeted him, while also sizing up the fleet led by Nox.
He didn't know until he looked, and he was almost startled by Golden Lion. So many Pirate Crew, so many Pirates, at least five or six hundred thousand. This was tens of thousands more than the number of people he brought out.
"This guy is too rich!"
Golden Lion didn't think that these were all the Pirates under Nox's command. There must still be many Pirates guarding the New World.
Only the Limitless Pirates, the wealthiest pirate group in the world, could support such a large number. Their Flying Pirates had so many fewer people than the Limitless Pirates, and they had recently started to run out of money. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to attack the Four Seas.
"Hahahaha, Golden Lion, it's true that we haven't seen each other for several years."
Nox laughed, also sizing up the scale of the Flying Pirates. It had to be said that the current Flying Pirates were much stronger than they were a few years ago. As expected of the Flying Pirates, second only to the Limitless Pirates.
Even if the Roger Pirates were reorganized and Roger was reborn, under the scale of the Flying Pirates, they would only be crushed.
"gura rara rara, Nox, Shiki, I'm here!"
Whitebeard, aboard a massive, whale-like ship, the Moby Dick, and many ships under his command also arrived here.
However, Whitebeard's ships added up to only about twenty, which was much less than Nox's and Golden Lion's massive fleets.
"Yo, Whitebeard, you've changed your ride. This ship looks pretty good."
Nox looked at Whitebeard's Moby Dick and laughed.
"gura rara rara, Nox, your taste is as good as ever! This is the Moby Dick that I spent a lot of money to build!"
Hearing Nox say this, Whitebeard was very happy.
"Ugogogogo, I arrived just in time, I'm not late!"
"Mama Mama, Kaido, you finally made something of yourself!"
"Hahahaha, this reminds me of the time Rocks led us to conquer the West Blue."
"Don't mention that old guy to me. That old guy is dead. Now is our era!"
"..."
Subsequently, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Brandon, and other major Pirate Crew successively gathered.
They all subtly stayed together, after all, the combined size of all their Pirate Crew was not as large as the Limitless Pirates and the Flying Pirates.
"Hahahaha, since everyone is here, let's briefly talk about our next course of action. Let's not have infighting due to various problems, or be surrounded and killed individually by the World Government and the Marine due to various problems!"
Then, Nox and Golden Lion and the others all gathered together to discuss their next actions, or rather, Nox had already planned it out and was just announcing it now.
"First, let me state that this operation is not like the Rocks Pirates back then, who plundered a wave and ran back to the New World before the World Government could react."
"This time, our Limitless Pirates and Flying Pirates have decided to join forces and occupy the entire South Blue as our territory!"
"Of course, our two Pirate Crew cannot take on such a large territory as the South Blue, so we need the help of your other Pirate Crew. We will plan out which areas will be occupied by the Flying Pirates and the Limitless Pirates. As for the other territories in the South Blue, whoever occupies them first will own them. We will not compete!"
"The premise is that you have the intention to occupy territory and station people. If you only want to plunder and return to the New World, then the territory you plunder will not belong to you. Other Pirates can send people to occupy it. If you want it then, you will have to snatch it back from others!"
"Now, I ask, is there anyone among you who does not want to occupy their own territory in the South Blue?"
Nox took out a map of the South Blue and placed it in front of everyone, then seriously stated their true purpose this time.
