Uchiha's personal opinion

Sengoku said to Sakazuki, "You don't need to worry about the tactical deployments!"

"Humph!"

Although Sakazuki was furious after being rebuffed, he forced himself to suppress his anger and then slammed the door and left.

"And you..."

Sengoku then turned his gaze to the indifferent Kuzan: "If you're really bored, why don't you go for a bike ride on the sea..."

"This is boring!"

Kuzan snorted and got up to leave.

As he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to Sengoku, saying, "Aren't you going to warn them directly about Impel Down?"

"Theoretically speaking, the Navy and Impel Down are on the same level."

Sengoku said calmly, "As an agency under the World Government, the Navy cannot overstep its authority."

"You bear a significant responsibility for the deaths of the Navy!"

Kuzan also slammed the door and left.

Although he understood that his subordinates stationed in Impel Down had no chance to evacuate by ship, since the sea area had been completely blockaded by the 'Remnant Fleet', and Sengoku's plan to voluntarily abandon Impel Down had been rejected by the Five Elders, so they could only continue to hold out; even so, Kuzan still felt unwilling.

……

Although Charlotte Linlin was aggressive throughout the journey, she was particularly cautious when it came to the battle.

She first divided the hastily constructed pie-shaped warships into three teams of ten ships each, and handed them over to the three "signatures" of the Beast Pirates, who were sent out by Kaido in advance. She ordered them to launch simultaneous attacks from different directions to test the Navy's defenses, and also said that she would reward the three men if they performed well.

Given the sufficient support they received, the three "Big Bosses" agreed to Charlotte Linlin's battle plan and quickly launched probing attacks on the outskirts of the G1 branch.

She herself led her flagship in random attacks, sinking several naval warships in succession; at the same time, she issued a summons to the Kingdom of Totto Land, beginning to gather the strength of the kingdom's various tribes and its affiliated pirate crews.

As for Shanks, who is also one of the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin did not make any demands on him, perhaps due to considerations of their respective statuses.

This series of deployments also changed Minato Namikaze's impression of this middle-aged woman somewhat.

But Sengoku, who was on high alert at the G1 branch base, was having a headache.

The once aggressive woman suddenly became cautious, which caused problems for his plan once again.

Moreover, the three of them, who were leading the charge, were the "top members" of the Beasts Pirates. They were all quite strong, and with the three admirals remaining silent, there were not many in the Navy who could match them.

However, if Sengoku were to send out his three core generals, he worried that this would scare away the old woman, which would be a loss.

With the addition of intelligence from spy X Drake, the Beasts Pirates' preparations for battle are surprisingly fast, and they will be fully deployed in about three days. Meanwhile, Whitebeard, who is stranded on Onigashima, is also gathering his subordinates. If the two of them attack together, the situation could turn into a battle between the Four Emperors and the Navy.

The problem is that if Sengoku were willing to fight a head-on, direct battle, he wouldn't have needed to swallow his pride and lead the three admirals in a blitzkrieg against Totto Land—especially since he already knew that the World Government had instructed his old friend Zephyr to form a 'new navy,' and he was even less willing to deplete the navy's strength.

"After all that trouble, it still comes down to a head-on battle!"

At the military conference, Sakazuki remained defiant: "Instead of passively waiting for the pirates to attack, we should take the initiative and launch a full-scale counterattack!"

"It's simply not right to keep waiting!"

Aramaki, who had risen to the rank of lieutenant general as a 'newcomer,' echoed this sentiment.

Just as everyone was making a ruckus, Kuzan's Den Den Mushi rang.

"Mishimishi..."

Kuzan ignored everyone present and immediately answered the phone.

Immediately, his expression changed.

"...Imperial City has begun to be attacked."

After a while, Kuzan slowly put down the Den Den Mushi and dropped a bombshell.

At this time, only one day had passed since they overheard the 'Great Kingdom' launching a diversionary offensive on their way back from the Blitzkrieg in Tottoran, meaning that the 'Remnant Fleet's' attack had been brought forward.

'We can't delay any longer...'

The Warring States period made a decision immediately.

"Sakazuki!"

"Warring States period, somber voice."

"..."

Although he did not reply, Sakazuki immediately straightened up.

"You and Aramaki will lead the fleet into battle, first defeating 'Drought' Jack, one of the Beast Kings, and then head straight for Big Mom's main camp!"

The Warring States period issued an order.

"Then watch me!"

Sakassky agreed without hesitation.

"Wait! I haven't finished!"

Sengoku then added, "When attacking the main camp of the old lady, defeat is the only acceptable outcome! Not even a draw is allowed!"

What do you mean by that?!

Sakazuki was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage!

"It's just a ploy to lure the enemy deep into our territory!"

"Lieutenant General Tsuru said coldly."

"Luring the enemy?"

Sakazuki paused for a moment, but his anger remained: "Why did you use me as bait!"

"Because only you are qualified!"

"Warring States Period," he said without hesitation.

"...But we can't just adopt a 'failure-only' approach!"

Sakazuki's expression softened slightly, but he remained relentless in his accusations.

Although the reasons for 'luring the enemy deep into our territory' are indeed valid, it ultimately damages our reputation.

"I'm not discussing this with you!"

The tone of the Warring States period also became more forceful.

……

In the direction of Tondo Island, after receiving the attack order from the ninja world, Fugaku Uchiha immediately began to assemble his fleet and, together with Ichiraku Uzumaki, who was rebuilding order in the waters formerly under the control of the Revolutionary Army, launched a two-pronged attack on Garp's forces, who were holding the waters around Loguetown.

Recently, Ashura, who was bored out of his mind, also took Black Zetsu with him to battle.

As for Impel Down, its surface buildings are already under the First Legion's artillery fire.

Commissioner Magellan was also at a loss and had no choice but to contact the Five Elders directly for support.

"Without reinforcements, Impel Down must be held to the bitter end!"

"This is what the God of Defense, Jaigolusia Satan, said."

"But if that's the case, Impel Down won't hold for long!"

Magellan had no choice but to grit his teeth and complain: "After Lieutenant General Kuzan was recalled, the garrison navy had no one to blockade the sea, and we had no means to counter those remnant fleets that attacked us at close range!"

"Then let's retreat to the underground level!"

Jaigolusia Satan shouted, "If there's no other way, then find one! Sitting around waiting is not an option!"

"...Yes, sir!"

Although he was furious after being scolded, Magellan had no choice but to back down.

After all, being in Impel Down, even if one wanted to defect, there was no way to go.

"besides……"

Just as Magellan was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, the voice of Topman Vochuli, the Legal Warrior of the Five Elders, suddenly came through again.

"If things are beyond our control, then we'll kill all the prisoners on every floor of the underwater prison beforehand!"

"……I see."

Magellan took a deep breath and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

'Snapped'

Magellan unconsciously crushed the special anti-toxic shell of the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and the Den Den Mushi inside immediately died from the poison.

Magellan glanced at it, then threw the Den Den Mushi that he had had with him for so long into the trash can as if it were garbage.

Since the Five Elders have demanded the execution of those prisoners, it means that the World Government's resources are indeed stretched thin, and there is absolutely no possibility of reinforcements arriving in the short term...

Magellan sighed, stood up, and walked out of the office.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, his office naturally became one of the targets of concentrated fire. If it weren't for his subordinates' desperate efforts to stop it, it would probably have been razed to the ground long ago.

Magellan didn't say much about it, but went straight to the underground floor.

He planned to personally poison all the prisoners on the underground floors!

Chapter 541 The Lament of the Grand Signboard

Jack, one of the three great calamities of the Beasts Pirates and known as the "Drought," is a reckless and arrogant person who prefers to solve most problems with force. Therefore, after Charlotte Linlin commissioned the three calamities to launch a containment offensive, Jack sank the most naval warships among the three.

Therefore, although Sakazuki was quite dissatisfied with the arrangement made by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he reluctantly set out with four warships to carry out the mission of luring the enemy, he ultimately carried out the plan according to his instructions.

"Boss! New stock has arrived!"

Having just finished plundering a merchant ship and slaughtering everyone in the process, Jack was about to return to his cabin for a good night's sleep when a pirate on guard at the top of the mast suddenly shouted, "Four ships! All warships of the Navy bastards!"

"The navy is great!"

'Drought' Jack was overjoyed and immediately rushed over to look over.

He absolutely loves fighting those navy kids!

In his opinion, nothing was more fun than torturing and killing the navy!

The navy's resistance will be particularly fierce, and the thrill of the battle is far more exciting than plundering merchant ships that have no chance to fight back!
