There is no doubt that…
Chaos and destruction are sure to be the themes of the future!
This world will soon be filled with war, pirates, and unrest once again!
As the old men pondered with grim expressions, Uehara Naraku's voice came through again, with a heavier tone this time: "Grand Marshal Kong has sacrificed himself, the Five Elders, and all the World Nobles have been killed, and no one in Mary Geoise survived..."
"..."
Sengoku fell silent.
Even though he had his suspicions, hearing this news still made him a bit shocked. The once all-powerful Heavenly Celestial Dragons and the aloof Five Elders had all been slain by the Akatsuki and those pirates!
The World Government has been destroyed...
The Five Elders and Heavenly Celestial Dragons have all been killed...
This means the world's order has completely collapsed, the seas will truly go into chaos, and a great upheaval will soon arise!
And the Navy is also under the control of the Akatsuki...
Sengoku looked at the 100,000 Navy forces at Marinford, his heart thumping bit by bit: "If that's the case, what is the meaning of this war?"
"There is."
Vice Admiral Tsuru quickly regained her composure.
This Navy Staff Officer recovered from the shock of the World Government's destruction and gradually restored her reasoning, calmly saying, "Perhaps the Akatsuki want to rule this world, besides destroying the World Government, they also want to eliminate all resistance forces..."
Vice Admiral Tsuru slowly lowered her head and started to analyze the Akatsuki's actions bit by bit: "The World Government has been destroyed, Hundred Beast Kaido and BIG·MOM have surrendered, and the Navy is also under Yakushi Kabuto's control. The only ones left resisting the Akatsuki are Whitebeard and the Revolutionary Army, and the Red Hair remnants..."
Accompanied by the emergence of many events, Vice Admiral Tsuru started to figure out the real purpose of the Akatsuki, and her face turned increasingly ugly.
"They..."
"Want to eliminate all sea forces at one fell swoop!"
"Little Kabuto used Fire Fist Ace to spark a war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, and then lured the Revolutionary Army executives to enter, and Red Hair actively jumped into the trap..."
"Because the Navy had to face more and more enemies, Mary Geoise's defense had to be vacated, the Akatsuki took this opportunity to destroy the poorly defended World Government..."
"And when the Navy and Whitebeard's war is over, regardless of who wins or loses, the Akatsuki will sweep in with two Four Emperor Pirate Gangs to sit back and reap the benefits..."
"Here... is the end point of their plan!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru's gaze fell on Yakushi Kabuto, her expression extremely complex: "Sengoku, we really underestimated Little Kabuto... The Akatsuki's hand is much greater than we imagined!"
While their eyes were still fixed on the Four Emperor Pirate Gangs...
The Akatsuki had already been preparing to eliminate all the powerful forces on the sea!
If looking solely at the paper strength, the Akatsuki has already gained a huge advantage. In fact, only the Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the Red Hair remnants are left to resist strongly...
The Seven Warlords of the Sea have a total of seven members.
From the information verified by Yakushi Kabuto personally, besides Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach who has not shown up, five of the six present are members of the Akatsuki...
And at the Navy Headquarters, all three admirals are members of the Akatsuki, and among the Vice Admirals, it's unknown who are Akatsuki members, every Vice Admiral looks like an Akatsuki member, and yet every Vice Admiral doesn't look like one...
However, within the Navy, around the admirals are three major factions, with hardly any Vice Admiral being neutral, which means most Vice Admirals cannot be trusted...
Just in terms of the current situation...
If Marinford were to immediately convene a high-level battle meeting, Sengoku the Buddha, as the Navy Admiral, perhaps he should not investigate who is the Akatsuki's undercover, but rather check who is not, which might be easier...
Now it looks like...
The Akatsuki is just one step away from conquering the world. As long as they deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, they can declare they have already ruled this sea!
"Conquering the world, those guys really have big ambitions!"
Sengoku the Buddha pounded his fist on the wall angrily, his gaze falling on Garp: "Hey, Garp, why aren't you saying anything?"
"The old man was just thinking of some past events..."
Garp slowly raised his head, looking up at the sky, he said: "More than thirty years ago, the Rocks Pirates were just as lawless as they are now..."
The Rocks Pirates back then...
Weren't far from conquering the world either!
Yet in the Battle of Divine Valley, Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger teamed up to defeat the invincible Rocks Pirates, thoroughly disbanding the pirate gang that was powerful enough to rule the world!
After the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates, traces of Rocks were quickly erased by the World Government.
However, even though the Rocks Pirates were disbanded, the members left behind by the Rocks Pirates all became rulers of the seas...
Golden Lion Shiki, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, BIG·MOM Charlotte Linlin, Hundred Beast Kaido, all of them are rulers of the sea...
Back then, they all gathered under Rocks' banner as well.
Now, Garp's mention of Rocks' old matters made Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru frown, their eyes slightly trembling.
Sengoku's face turned grim as he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "There is no doubt, Rocks was once the strongest enemy... but... the Akatsuki... may be even more terrifying than the Rocks Pirates! If it weren't for you and Roger teaming up..."
At least Rocks never held such a large advantage.
The World Government and the Navy, the side of justice has almost been controlled or directly destroyed by the Akatsuki; the side of evil, two of the Four Emperor Pirate Gangs have already joined the Akatsuki...
However, Garp's words provided Sengoku with a line of thinking.
If they work together with Whitebeard Pirates to fight against the Akatsuki, they could avoid the war as much as possible, prevent the lower-ranking Navy soldiers at Marinford from being used as pawns by the Akatsuki, and might even stop the Akatsuki's plan to dominate the world!
Now...
Either retire!
Or continue to fight!
Sengoku made a very quick decision, slamming his palm on the wall, saying in a deep voice: "Anyway, there's no worse situation than now... It should be the Navy reigning over the world, not some mysterious organization!"
Sengoku turned to look at his two old friends, saying in a low voice: "That guy Whitebeard would never join any organization, Garp, Little Tsuru, let's work with Whitebeard to settle this war, defeat the Akatsuki, rebuild the World Government, and restore the world's order..."
Garp looked up at the sky, his expression a bit subtle: "Sengoku, if you want to join forces with that Whitebeard guy... Ace... those bratty kids Sabo and Luffy... plus Dragon's side..."
"I get it!"
Sengoku glared at Garp angrily, then said in a deep voice: "This is temporary, if they're still persistent in causing trouble..."
"The World Government no longer exists, what trouble can they still cause..."
"Shut up!"
Sengoku felt like he was going to be angered to death by his old friend, but after thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "Since the World Government and the Heavenly Celestial Dragons no longer exist, when we defeat the Akatsuki and establish a new World Government, we can contact Dragon..."
Who would have thought...
This current situation is most beneficial to Garp's family.
However, wanting to unite to establish a World Government indeed can bring the Revolutionary Army in, especially since the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, is also Garp's son, and also Sengoku's junior...
If the alliance is established, they might not be without a chance against the Akatsuki.
Sengoku took Vice Admiral Tsuru's Radio Snail and ordered Uehara Naraku on the other end: "Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku, wait offshore near Marinford with your battleship to support us..."
"Yes, Marshal Sengoku!"
On the other side of the Radio Snail, Uehara Naraku listened to their conversation from beginning to end.
At this moment, Uehara Naraku's voice sounded somewhat excited, as if he had found his backbone.
