Uchiha's personal opinion

"Bru bru~"

Suddenly, the ringing of the Den Den Mushi interrupted the old lady's laughter.

"Mishimishi!"

Charlotte Linlin, her face contorted with rage, immediately answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Totland Islands under attack!"

From the other end of the Den Den Mushi came Capone Bege's urgent voice, captain of the Flame Tank Pirates, one of his crews: "Moreover, the Den Den Mushi signal on the main island seems to have been jammed, so..."

"Where are you now?"

Charlotte Linlin's expression suddenly changed, and her tone became gentle.

Oh no! I'm going crazy!

Whitebeard and Kaido immediately became alert.

"I was fishing overseas when, on my way back, I unexpectedly discovered that Whole Cake Island was burning..."

Capone Becky, the son-in-law, stammered, "Besides, the Den Den Mushi can't reach Chiffon..."

"I see!"

Charlotte Linlin immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Who else but the Navy could completely block Den Den Mushi communications in the vast waters of the Totland Islands?

If the Seven Warlords of the Sea had this ability, they would have replaced the Four Emperors long ago!

"Let's fight!"

Charlotte Linlin said calmly.

"what?"

Kaido and Whitebeard were somewhat surprised.

"I said—send troops immediately!"

Charlotte Linlin suddenly flew into a rage, overturning the table: "Send troops immediately! March towards the Grand Line! March towards G1 Branch! Conquer Mary Geoise! ​​Slaughter Marineford!"

"I want them dead!"

Chapter 539 War Clouds Approaching

Although Whitebeard and Kaido sometimes acted quite nonsensically, as one of the Four Emperors, they were not fools. Naturally, they could deduce the truth of the matter from Charlotte Linlin's change in expression and tone.

But this is somewhat unbelievable.

After all, this was the first time the Navy had launched an attack on the headquarters of one of the Four Emperors, which also marked the complete outbreak of a full-scale war!

No matter how great the conflicts are between the Four Emperors, when faced with the Navy's attack, they still feel a sense of shared vulnerability, especially since they have now sat down to negotiate an alliance.

On second thought, however, the Navy's move seems quite reasonable. After all, among the Four Emperors, only Big Mom's territory is fixed, and Totto Land is undoubtedly a large country in terms of national strength. Although it is rife with various forms of bureaucracy, its citizens actually live much better lives than the peasants of other member states, making it a significant threat to the World Government's rule. Furthermore, Totto Land's participation was not mentioned in early alliance rumors. Therefore, if the Navy intends to rebuild its prestige, making the Kingdom of Totto Land its primary target is logical.

However, after a round of blows, the Kingdom of Tottoland could no longer maintain the share it had obtained during the previous negotiations.

So, although Whitebeard and Kaido still looked serious, they both leaned back tactically, indicating that they were not in a hurry.

"Kaido!"

Charlotte Linlin turned her attention to Kaido, who had just adopted a "want more money" stance, and shouted with spittle flying, "Are you chickening out?!"

"Who said that!"

Kaido's face flushed red again: "Deploying troops takes time; we can't be so hasty!"

Then came various incomprehensible phrases such as "the warships move before the cannons go," "the departure expenses need to be raised," and "recruiting vassals."

"An envoy from the old kingdom!"

Charlotte Linlin suddenly yelled at Minato Namikaze, who was peeking out from a distance, "How long will it take your army to get into battle?"

"...one day."

Having just boasted to Shanks, Minato Namikaze couldn't give a vague answer, so he had to reply directly, but at the same time, he tried to salvage the situation: "However, due to..."

"There are no buts!"

Charlotte Linlin interrupted Minato Namikaze's explanation: "First come, first served—does that promise still hold true?!"

"Of course it works!"

Minato Namikaze's expression turned serious, and he responded in a deep voice.

This condition was something he promoted when he was pushing the idea of ​​a 'Great Pirate Alliance'. Although it seems that the Four Emperors are not very willing to mention this topic now because of their personal interests, Minato Namikaze cannot deny it; because it involves the premise of his activities in the New World, so he must maintain the authority and validity of this "law".

"That's it!"

Charlotte Linlin slowly stood up, her massive size exuding an overwhelming aura: "Whether these two scheming bastards are willing to send out their pirates or not, I will launch an attack!"

Whitebeard and Kaido's expressions immediately turned ugly.

They are all known for their domineering and arrogant seafaring men, how could they stand being bullied like this by an old lady!

Moreover, for most pirates, being good at 'scheming and trickery' is a completely derogatory term—because that's something only their arch-enemy, the Navy, would do!

However, the real difficulties are objective and beyond individual control. At the very least, if Whitebeard wanted to launch a full-scale offensive, he would need the arrival of his main fleet and various affiliated pirate crews.

Therefore, the pressure fell on the host, Kaido of the Beasts Pirates—as for Shanks, he only had a handful of men under his command, and they all came with the Red-Haired Pirates' flagship, the Red Fox, so there was no need to ask them anything.

Kaido's expression was unpredictable and quite unpleasant.

"...Did something really happen in Tottoland?"

Kaido managed to squeeze out a single sentence after a great deal of effort.

"if not?"

Charlotte Linlin sneered: "Do you think I would joke about something like this?"

"...Shouldn't we go back and clean up the mess in Totland first?"

Kaido whispered, "I will launch an attack, but it's a bit..."

"What's there to clean up!"

Charlotte Linlin interrupted Kaido again, "Even if the kingdom is destroyed, it will only take a little more time to rebuild!"

"but!"

"If you've lost face, how can you still walk on the sea?"

Charlotte Linlin's aura grew stronger and stronger, while Kaido's neck shrank shorter and shorter.

For the Four Emperors, their core power lies with themselves. As long as they don't die in battle, they will eventually rise again. That's why Charlotte Linlin acted so aggressively, even disregarding the state of the Totto Land Kingdom after the attack.

Kaido inwardly groaned; he had forgotten one thing: he shouldn't have appeared before the mother beast when her cubs were injured.

"Emissaries of the Old Kingdom, please launch a diversionary offensive within three days!"

Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly, letting the cowardly Kaido go, and said to Minato Namikaze, "As long as you can conquer Marineford, the Big Mom Pirates will absolutely support you in becoming the King of the World!"

"Is that so..."

Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised.

Although such a verbal promise offers no guarantee, it does represent the older woman's stance and serves as a counterweight to her previous claim of "Mary Geoise is king."

"Excuse me, please allow me to consult with my superiors."

Namikaze Mizuki said apologetically to the older woman.

He then pulled out a Den Den Mushi given to him by Kaido from his pocket and dialed another Den Den Mushi held by Akimichi Toudou: "The forces of Pirate King Charlotte Linlin have suffered a change and may launch an offensive ahead of schedule. Please ask His Majesty for instructions on how to deal with it."

Minato Namikaze spoke in the common language of the ninja world, which the pirates found incomprehensible.

"As ordered!"

Akimichi Tō immediately replied.

"Please wait a moment..."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi communication, Minato Namikaze nodded to Charlotte Linlin once again.

Because communication between dispatched personnel and the ninja world headquarters requires telegram relay, the signal relay needs to go through the Sabaody Archipelago or Ton Island signal station, then to the Demon Triangle Sea, then to the World Gate signal base station in the East Sea of ​​the Ninja World, and finally to Uchiha Tokumitsu's personal radio station. Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu needs to conduct deployment assessments after receiving the news before making a decision, so this process cannot be fast.

"...But with our current strength, are we capable of competing with the Navy?"

While waiting, Kaido timidly suggested, "How about... we have the Totto Land Kingdom regroup their forces and then go into battle together?"

"My children are on Whole Cake Island, you don't need to worry about them!"

Charlotte Linlin retorted without hesitation: "Unlike you, you don't even have a decent child!"

Kaido was so angry he almost twisted his nose!

……

On a naval blitzkrieg ship sailing on the Grand Line, Sengoku and three admirals listened silently in the command cabin.

Before them lay a black Den Den Mushi (snail phone) used for eavesdropping, from which the conversation from the Onigashima Alliance could be faintly heard.

The loudest voice was that of the older woman.

"She really is on Onigashima."

Kuzan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Fortunately... Whitebeard and Kaido shouldn't make a move so soon."

Kizaru seemed to be comforting himself as he said, "If only Big Mom attacks, then we can join forces again to take her down, and the Four Emperors alliance will collapse on its own."

"Easy for you to say..."

Sakazuki, looking rather disapproving, was unimpressed.

The G1 branch, which he now directly commands, will be the Navy's first stop in the New World and will inevitably be at the forefront of the war. His subordinates and supporters are also gathered here. When the war begins, regardless of the outcome, his forces will suffer the heaviest blow.

So it would be strange if he were in a good mood!

As for the Warring States Marshal, he seemed to be deep in thought.

"what happened?"
