Chapter 144
Hearing Ubel's words, Blite also fell into silence.
He never imagined the situation would develop in the direction he least wanted to see.
However, what comforted Blite was that he had still managed to pull in quite a few pirate allies.
At this moment, these pirate crews had all been assigned by them to station on various islands.
Due to the prestige he had accumulated over the years, as long as he himself was not defeated, there would be no problems.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford. Inside a bright and tidy office.
Steel Bone Kong was carefully reading a newspaper published by the World Economic Journal.
Shock! The Rocks Pirates launch a fierce attack on the Iron Wall Pirates! Shock! The Iron Wall Pirates' first defense line is about to be broken! Will the Rocks Pirates become the new overlord? Or will the Iron Wall Pirates rule the New World? Let us wait and see!
Bang!
"This damn World Economic Journal!"
Just as Steel Bone Kong was truly getting angry, the Den Den Mushi placed on his desk suddenly rang.
Seeing this, Steel Bone Kong casually picked up the call.
"Moshi moshi, this is Kong."
"Fleet Admiral Kong!"
"The Rocks Pirates have already launched an attack on the Iron Wall Pirates."
"Should we start encircling the Golden Pirates?"
Hearing Sengoku's question, Steel Bone Kong fell into hesitation.
It wasn't that he didn't want to attack the New World, but such a major matter still required him to consult the Five Elders.
"You stay on standby for now — I'll ask the Five Elders first."
After hanging up the phone, Steel Bone Kong picked up the Den Den Mushi and called Legal Martial God Saturn Saint.
Bru~ Bru~
"Kong, what is it?"
"Saturn Saint-sama, the Rocks Pirates have already started fighting the Iron Wall Pirates."
"Should we counterattack the New World?"
Hearing "counterattack the New World," the other end of the line also fell into brief silence.
"Counterattack the New World?"
"Wait a moment — let the few of us discuss it."
Mary Geoise, Pangu Castle. Inside a spacious and tidy room.
Saturn Saint looked at the other four Five Elders, all showing serious expressions on their faces, and asked softly:
"What do you all think about this war?"
Hearing Saturn Saint's question, the other Five Elders present all fell into thought.
After a short while, Nasujuro Saint spoke first.
"Rocks is too dangerous!" "We must curb his development!" "Ubel firmly occupies the front half of the New World — this has caused great trouble for our plans."
"I believe we should deal with Ubel first, then implement the plan against the Rocks Pirates."
After the sword-wielding Five Elders spoke first, the other several Five Elders also felt his words made sense.
Due to the complex situation in the New World, the World Government's suppression of the Rocks Pirates had never been effectively carried out.
"I agree with Nasujuro Saint's proposal!"
Hearing Nasujuro Saint's suggestion, the more aggressive Satan Saint immediately expressed support.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"I also agree!"
After all the Five Elders unanimously agreed on this decision, Saturn Saint immediately took out the Den Den Mushi and gave the order to Steel Bone Kong.
"Kong, we approve this operation!"
Steel Bone Kong, who had been anxiously waiting for the call, instantly showed wild joy on his face after hearing the approval.
"Yes, Saturn Saint-sama!"
"We will definitely reclaim the front half of the New World!"
"Don't let us down…!"
Soon the Den Den Mushi on Steel Bone Kong's desk fell silent.
Seeing the other side hang up, Steel Bone Kong excitedly shouted to his secretary:
"Pool, immediately gather all Navy officers to the conference room for a meeting!"
After Pool left the room, Marineford immediately became bustling.
Central New World, Navy G-34 Branch.
Inside a spacious conference room, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and Garp had all gathered here.
As the Den Den Mushi on the table fell silent, Sengoku immediately stood up excitedly. After pacing back and forth for quite a while, he finally suppressed his excited mood.
"Great! Finally we can deal with these lawless pirates!"
Hearing Sengoku's words, Zephyr's eyes also lit up.
The reason they became Marines was to protect more civilians, right?
That day was finally coming.
If they could eliminate all the pirates in the New World, wouldn't there be no more pirates in this world?
Thinking of this, a happy expression appeared on Zephyr's face.
Garp hadn't heard the conversation between Sengoku and Steel Bone Kong. At this moment, he was stuffing a piece of senbei into his mouth while thinking about how to train his son Dragon into an outstanding Marine.
"Sengoku, do we have any operations?"
Just as everyone was thinking about their own matters, Tsuru's words instantly brought everyone back to reality.
Hearing Tsuru's words, Sengoku also came to his senses, a helpless look appearing in his eyes.
"We should stay on standby for now!"
"It probably won't be long before Fleet Admiral Kong arrives here!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"I heard that Roger guy has been causing a lot of trouble in the New World recently!"
"I really want to arrest him soon."
Seeing the atmosphere becoming a bit stiff, Garp couldn't help letting out a burst of laughter.
Hearing Garp's words, Sengoku and Tsuru both rolled their eyes. They knew Garp had been chasing Roger for almost five years, yet the Roger Pirates were still at large!
While the few of them were chatting idly, the Rocks Pirates had already broken through the Iron Wall Pirates' first defense line and were advancing toward the second defense line.
Three months later, after losing some pirates, the Rocks Pirates finally succeeded in breaking through all the Iron Wall Pirates' defense lines.
New World, Steel Island.
After learning that all defense lines had been broken by the Rocks Pirates, the forces affiliated with the Iron Wall Pirates began contracting their defense lines, all converging toward Steel Island, nervously awaiting the final showdown.
Standing on a high platform, Blite looked at the increasingly crowded Steel Island.
Even he, who was quite confident in his own strength, felt somewhat irritated.
"Big Brother, don't worry!" "We will definitely defeat the Rocks Pirates."
Looking at Blite with tightly furrowed brows, Gu Lei comforted him with a relaxed face.
Looking at the carefree Gu Lei, Blite felt a headache coming on.
While the Iron Wall Pirates were actively preparing for this war, the executives of the Rocks Pirates were leading their own crews and arriving at Manhattan Island one after another.
