Uchiha's personal opinion

At Minato Namikaze's command, the pirates simultaneously pulled the breechblocks.

"Boom boom boom!"

Although the fire wasn't perfectly synchronized, at least the first salvo of shells had already been fired.

And everyone's attention was drawn to it.

To be honest, even powerful beings like the Three Sovereigns couldn't do much against hordes of sea monsters. After all, their enormous size gave them a huge defensive advantage, making it difficult for them to kill or drive away these monsters using their usual methods—especially since these sea monsters were under control or bewitched.

However, the effect of the Seastone cannonballs was unexpectedly good. Although the firing angle was upward, because there were so many giants gathered together that they covered the sea surface and were even piled up together, not a single cannonball missed and all hit the giants.

Then, all sorts of wails and roars resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Don't stop, keep loading!"

Minato Namikaze, his face stern, angrily rebuked the pirates who had begun to cheer and told them to continue loading their cannons.

The military supplies transferred from Uchiha Tokumitsu's fleet via the Heavenly Delivery Technique were not much; he needed to unleash all of these supplies as quickly as possible to cause maximum damage.

Whether or not all these giants can be defeated depends on fate. In any case, Minato Namikaze can simply use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape with a few subordinates.

Subsequently, under Minato Namikaze's command, the pirates continued to fill the tanks meticulously, constantly pouring in ammunition.

Kizaru, who lost his left arm in the Battle of Todoroki, also sensed something amiss from the aura emanating from the explosions of these cannonballs.

"...These cannonballs seem to have some connection with the giants controlled by those remnants."

He came to the side of the Warring States and whispered something in his ear.

The existence of the Tailed Beasts can no longer be concealed, but due to the extremely limited understanding of ninjas, Kizaru only regards them as some kind of special Sea King.

"I see……"

Sengoku nodded slightly, but said nothing further.

After all, the crisis is not over yet, and it is not the time to turn against each other.

Meanwhile, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and the disheveled Shanks gathered on the other side, whispering amongst themselves, clearly separated from the Marines.

With their strength, especially Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, escaping from this place wouldn't be difficult, but their subordinates would be a different story.

Although many of Kaido's subordinates have mastered the ability to fly due to their Devil Fruit powers, they are unable to transfer everyone. Moreover, now that their ships have been lost and they are stuck on a small island with the Navy, they must reach a consensus on self-preservation.

"...Now these heavy artillery pieces are all under our control, so we're not afraid even if we turn against the navy on the spot!"

Kaido lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"But all of this will have to wait until the crisis is over..."

Shanks is trying to express his opinion.

"The navy cannot be trusted!"

Charlotte Linlin decisively expressed her stance.

The reason she gathered her forces and went into battle was because the Kingdom of Totto Land had been attacked by Sengoku. So, for her, it was possible to temporarily put up with the alliance with the Navy, but achieving mutual trust between the two sides was impossible.

Therefore, the communication between the three emperors reached a stalemate.

……

Meanwhile, Sakazuki, having calmed down and regained some of his strength, also found Sengoku.

What about our stance?

Sakazuki got straight to the point.

While his ideal of 'complete justice' was pure, he could not tolerate betrayal, even from his 'boss', the World Government; but he had no better ideas at the moment, so he wanted to hear Sengoku's opinion on the matter.

"Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty..."

"Warring States period said meaningfully."

"Are you planning a rebellion?"

Sakazuki frowned.

"Are we going to rebel?"

The Warring States period asked in return.

"what do you mean……"

Sakassky was stunned.

The Warring States period did not speak, but instead walked towards the Three Sovereigns who were discussing countermeasures.

Time is running out for him. Although the new heavy cannons combined with sea stone shells have indeed caused some damage among the sea king monsters, the Navy and the pirates still need to work together to resolve the current crisis.

"...What are you doing here!"

Charlotte Linlin was the first to make a move.

She remembered the attack on the Kingdom of Tottoland very clearly.

"alliance!"

"Warring States Period," he said without hesitation.

"The most we can do is temporarily share the island..."

Kaido chimed in from the side.

Shanks, however, hesitated to speak.

However, the Red-Haired Pirates were already the weakest of the original Four Emperors, so his attitude was not important.

"The enemy is in the Holy Land, Mary Geoise!"

Sengoku casually uttered words that shocked even the Three Emperors: "Therefore, before the Celestial Dragons' tyranny is completely destroyed, I think we still have a basis for cooperation."

"The pirates are helping the Navy rebel..."

Kaido almost burst out laughing. "This is even more absurd than a mouse helping a cat beat a dog!"

"Our alliance is destined to break down one day and turn into armed conflict."

Sengoku understood the Three Emperors' meaning, but he said nonchalantly, "Moreover, it seems that the world nobles of Mary Geoise hate us, the once loyal navy, even more now..."

"Therefore, I would rather watch you die!"

Charlotte Linlin, completely ignoring the gazes of the Navy and pirates, shouted in a shrill voice.

"Without the involvement of the Three Emperors, I wouldn't be able to control the Navy."

"Warring States period, with a stern face," he said.

To be honest, Charlotte Linlin's attitude gave him a headache. After all, she had just shouted out such a self-destructive thing in such a setting, and the impact on the morale of both sides was obvious.

The pirates who were carrying cannonballs to bombard the giant monster slowed down for a moment, but then continued their work under Minato Namikaze's shouts and curses.

The navy was somewhat agitated, but this was quickly suppressed by officers led by Kuzan.

Now that things have come to this point, even the most obtuse Marines understand that the Poseidon attack is inextricably linked to the World Government, but as for how to deal with it, they instinctively place their hopes on their superiors.

What the Warring States period aimed to do was to gradually lead the navy to break free from the limitations of its previous mindset.

For example, making peace with the pirates and gathering all forces to attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"After the navy is destroyed, the whole world will fall into our hands!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed again.

But Kaido's expression turned serious.

Sengoku glanced at Shanks, who seemed to have something difficult to say, then turned his gaze to Kaido and said, "If you think so too, then who would be the biggest beneficiary?"

“…Go on.”

Kaido lowered his voice and said.

He also gestured for Charlotte Linlin to be quiet.

That's enough acting; overdoing it would be counterproductive.

As for Shanks, who had been kept in the dark by the two of them, he was clearly relieved.

"Those mysterious survivors are not simple..."

The Warring States period said calmly, "Their ambitions for the world may be even greater than we imagine."

"Go on..."

Kaido raised an eyebrow.

Charlotte Lindsay Lohan was not going to disagree.

"To defeat the World Government, we need the strength of those remnants."

Sengoku revealed his plan: "Moreover, even if the great kingdoms are rebuilt, the seas they control must not extend beyond the Red Earth Continent."

In other words, Sengoku intends to divide the world equally with the 'remnants of the Great Kingdoms'. As for the South China Sea, which is currently under the actual control of the World Government, Sengoku does not intend to concern himself with it anymore, since Zephyr's 'new navy' is stationed there.

"And what about the new world?"

Kaido continued to ask.

"That's our base!"

The Warring States period provided the answer without hesitation.

Kaido and Charlotte Linlin exchanged bewildered glances, utterly unable to fathom the changes in Sengoku's situation.

Frankly speaking, from their perspective, they really can't understand why the World Government and the Navy have come to this point of being bitter enemies.

But they all understood that with the remnants of the Three Emperors' forces, it would be impossible to achieve their long-cherished wish of conquering the Holy Land of Mary Geoise—after all, all they had left was the 'Queen Mother Hymn'.

"What about our past grievances?"

Charlotte Lindsay chose to step forward and play a villain.

"It's not too late to talk about these things after we've set things right!"

Sengoku chose to temporarily set aside the dispute, since in the current situation, no amount of discussion would be of any use; the most urgent task was still to preserve the G1 branch as their last foothold.

"...Then let's go and talk to the messenger from the fallen people!"

Kaido exchanged glances with Charlotte Linlin for a moment, then agreed.
