Marine Headquarters.
"They appeared?"
Sengoku suddenly stood up, looking excitedly at the Marine reporting the intelligence.
He confirmed it repeatedly.
He was afraid of disappointment, and also afraid of being happy for nothing again.
"Confirmed, the Sun and Moon Pirates have appeared in Sabaody Archipelago, and Kevin has also shown up. Admiral Kuzan, Admiral Borsalino, and Rear Admiral Sakazuki, the three adults, have already taken action."
One hundred percent confirmed.
"Hahaha, they finally came out."
Sengoku couldn't help but laugh happily for a long time.
After so long, he finally waited, and it was not in vain for having laid out the plan for so long.
"Tell them not to let Kevin escape. Life or death doesn't matter, he must be permanently kept in Sabaody Archipelago."
Sengoku issued a death order.
"Yes!"
"A month ago, the Sun Pirates were destroyed, and Fish-Man Tiger has been annihilated. The Sun and Moon Pirates are also heading towards their doom. The Holy Land incident has finally come to an end."
Sengoku sat down on his chair, relieved.
His miserable time was finally coming to an end.
Decades of effort, rising from the lowest ranks to become Fleet Admiral, full of vigor.
Yet, he encountered a Holy Land invasion event that had never happened in hundreds of years.
Coupled with a series of blows from facing Kevin.
Sengoku's hair had mostly turned white.
Being urged by the Five Elders every day, being scolded by the Five Elders, Sengoku even felt like dying.
"The plan is successful. Now we just need to wait for the final result."
Sengoku showed a triumphant smile.
Today's grand encirclement plan was orchestrated by him.
He was inspired by Akainu's previous suggestion to blockade the Sun and Moon Pirates at the Grand Line entrance.
He perfected the plan.
Finally, he set the destination at Sabaody Archipelago.
It was an island that Pirate Crews would inevitably pass through when heading to the New World, a necessary passage.
To ensure that Kevin could be stopped at Sabaody Archipelago.
To lower Kevin's vigilance.
These past few months.
He continuously used World Government Newspaper Companies to publish false information, creating the impression that most Admirals were not at Headquarters, and that Marine Headquarters lacked combat power.
The content published in the newspaper was indeed true.
Borsalino had been to North Blue, and Sakazuki had been to the New World, but the timing was off.
It was something that had happened before, only now being published.
It created an illusion, then shifted the attention of the sea to the formation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a second layer of illusion, making people think that the Navy's main focus during this time was the Shichibukai, with no time to spare for others.
But from beginning to end, the Navy and the World Government's desire to eliminate Kevin only grew stronger.
In reality, Admiral Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino had been silently waiting in the Sabaody Archipelago for a long time, secretly biding their time, without revealing any traces of their whereabouts.
Then, a large number of unknown secret agents were dispatched and distributed across every island in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Their daily task was to observe the sea and wait for the Sun and Moon Pirates to walk into the trap.
The moment Kevin appeared would be the moment to close the net.
"With Kuzan and the others working together, even if Kevin had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to escape."
"That's right, even with Gyon helping, besides Gyon, the other members of the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew are not a threat."
"Invincible defense is useless. Admiral Borsalino's speed, Admiral Kuzan's control, plus Sakazuki's explosive power—he can't escape. No matter how strong the defense, they can drag it out until there is no defense."
"Trying to leave by Pirate Crew is also impossible. Admiral Kuzan can continuously seal the sea. How fast can a Pirate Crew be? Can it be faster than Borsalino?"
During the meeting, the high-ranking Navy officers all revealed confident smiles.
They had thought of all the details, all possible accidents.
There was no possibility of failure, not even a slight chance.
Kevin would either die or be captured.
There was no third possibility.
Garp scratched his head, shaking it, with the same thought.
If he were in Kevin's current predicament, he knew his fate would be the same.
"Sengoku, you're taking Kevin too seriously," Garp sighed, remarking that even Roger and Rocks never received such treatment before.
