Yes, unlike the pirates, who had to be selected based on bounty, practically everyone from the Ninja World side, except Iruka and Konohamaru, would go.
Firstly, their Tailed Beast Transformations might be especially effective against large opponents, and being of one heart with their Tailed Beasts made them less susceptible to the influence of the Domi Reversi.
Secondly, when the battle began, Naruto would use the [Tailed Beast Mental Network] to connect all the Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts, facilitating command across multiple battlefronts and, essentially, adding a safety lock to their minds.
Also, don't forget that among the Ninja World group was a formidable individual capable of slicing the moon with bare hands.
With Toneri by their side, Naruto wasn't too worried about any shortcomings in combat strength.
"Well then, the personnel are confirmed."
They were all veterans… no pre-battle pep talk was needed.
The Marine and Revolutionary Army sides had no choice… Garp, Gion, Belo Betty, and Sabo would all participate in this final battle.
Of course, aside from Garp, the others would serve more as 'witnesses'.
The pirates would each fight their own way. Big Mom was so enraged she wanted to bring her entire fleet, but after being reminded that they would only be cannon fodder, she held back and brought her proudest work, Katakuri.
On the Beast Pirates' side, if counting strictly, it would be Kaido and his daughter, roughly matching the Totto Land delegation.
The Red Hair Pirates' 'elite strategy' came into play here… except for Rockstar, who had joined not long ago, everyone else would participate.
Who dared say the Red Hair Pirates had too few members now?
The most unfortunate was the Whitebeard Pirates. Because they had to attend to their captain's final affairs, they sent only Ace as a representative, only for him to be deemed unqualified to join the battle.
Thus, the Whitebeard Pirates regrettably withdrew early, missing the chance to witness everything.
Of course, as Roger's right-hand man, Rayleigh would also be essential to the operation to rescue Gaban.
"Can these old bones of yours handle it, Rayleigh?"
Shakky, smoking a cigarette, maintained her usual smile, but the pile of cigarette butts at her feet showed the old lady's concern for her partner.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back."
"Hey, hey, don't say such unlucky things. Haven't you seen how characters who say those lines in movies always die?"
Crocus couldn't help but interrupt his old friend's flag-raising, somewhat easing Shakky's worry.
The old man wouldn't participate… he was just a ship's doctor. His combat ability might handle some rookie pirates, but against real heavy hitters, Crocus knew he'd likely be a liability.
And so, the rescue team heading to the giant nation of Elbaf was confirmed.
Although many attended Naruto's wedding, fewer than thirty actually qualified for the list.
Garp had suggested stopping by Marineford to call Kuzan, Borsalino, and the newly recruited Issho, but Naruto rejected the idea.
"Huh? It's on the way, isn't it?"
The old man didn't understand.
But Naruto just smiled mysteriously.
"No, we're not taking the 'main road' this time. That's too slow."
With that, he grabbed a News Coo that was busy taking photos. The bird hadn't stopped snapping since the wedding began.
Now hearing about another big story, it wished it could delete all the wedding photos to make room for this new development.
Unfortunately, its camera used film… there was no way to do that.
"Lend me this. I'll return it later."
Ignoring the bird's pained expression, Naruto took the camera.
"Too bad Morgans didn't send any broadcasting Den Den Mushi."
Now Naruto missed Morgans, forgetting that it was his own ban on broadcasting the wedding that led the News Coo to bring only a film camera.
Well, better than nothing.
"Go back to Morgans. Tell him to be ready and wait for my signal."
"I want the whole world to see how the shadow that has loomed over history for centuries will be dispelled."
It was still the same principle: sometimes, publicity could be more important than facts.
Though Naruto had never formulated a complete revolutionary doctrine from the Revolutionary Army's actions, he had learned some lessons.
For instance, if you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, your enemies will.
In the past, the World Government used its influence to trap the world in an information bubble. That's why the Revolutionary Army was demonized, and why so many clung to the belief that 'Celestial Dragons are inherently superior'.
Breaking mental shackles was as important as breaking physical ones.
Doing so also had the advantage of greatly advancing the Revolutionary Army's goals, further squeezing the living space of the 'old nobles' aligned with the Celestial Dragons.
It would also force some neutral parties to face reality.
If this went well, Naruto even considered doing something similar under a different name in the Ninja World.
Mental shackles there were clearly stronger than physical ones, perhaps more in need of such a 'hammer' to awaken people.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Just then, Big Mom stomped over, looking impatiently at Naruto.
"So, brat, you won't let us sail there ourselves. What exactly are you planning to do?"
She voiced the question on the minds of the other faction leaders. The Ninja World group, however, already had a good guess.
Naruto was probably going to use that Otsutsuki portal, the same way he'd brought Sasuke, Karin, Stussy, and the others from the New World back to Amazon Lily in an instant.
"That's too slow… watch this."
Naruto looked around, confirmed the numbers, and nodded. Without any visible action, everyone felt their vision blur, and they vanished from Amazon Lily.
This stunned those left behind.
Perospero's jaw dropped as he murmured incredulously,
"What… what kind of Devil Fruit power is this?"
Hearing his words, Konohamaru walked past him toward the palace, casually answering,
"It's not a Devil Fruit. It's a divine technique, a divine technique~… Forget it, there's no explaining it to you Pirate World people."
His tone left Perospero frustrated, feeling he'd been looked down upon by a mere brat.
…But he truly had no idea what that 'divine technique' was.
Seeing Konohamaru lead the Seraphim Medusa and the warriors away, Perospero couldn't ask anymore. His eyes fell on Luffy, who was dejectedly stuffing food into his mouth.
"Hey, Straw Hat, do you know what a 'divine technique' is?"
But Luffy, feeling down, didn't bother answering.
"Long-tongue old man, go away. I don't feel like playing guessing games with you…"
He then turned away and continued shoving food into his mouth, as if it were the only way to feel slightly better.
"Long-tongue… old man… you little brat…"
Perospero's face was covered in black lines. He wanted to be angry but considered that this was Naruto's territory, and if he remembered correctly, this Straw Hat brat was connected to Garp, Shanks, and others, so he forced himself to calm down.
'Forget it, I wouldn't argue with a child. Time to get back to the Queen Mama Chanter.'
He hadn't forgotten Big Mom's parting instructions… he still had a duty.
