Pirate: This navy is so despicable!

Jay nodded, "Exactly!"

"As long as the boat is coated beforehand, it can sail underwater."

"By then, all the observation points and lookouts we have deployed on the sea will be useless, and it will cause us to relax our vigilance."

"At this time, the Whitebeard Pirates only need to quietly follow the seabed to pass through the gate unscathed, and then..."

Jay's finger moved slowly and pointed at the port in front of the square.

"With a bang, they collectively rose to the surface, instantly occupying the port and launching an attack into the square."

"And all the manpower and firepower we deployed in the front will be useless."

When Jay finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

Because no one expected that the Whitebeard Pirates could play like this.

It is even very likely that this will happen.

This kid is incredible!

Many people looked at Jay with admiration.

I originally thought he was just a greenhorn, but it turns out he is actually a handsome talent.

Even Lieutenant General He, who had always had a dislike for him, began to look at him with new eyes.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, Brigadier General Jay is right. We must be on guard against this."

"If this happens, not only will we be caught off guard, but many of our early deployments will be completely wasted and will not have any effect on weakening the enemy."

Zhan Guo nodded, agreeing with this hypothesis.

"Suppose the Whitebeard Pirates really launch an attack from the bottom of the sea, how should we respond?"

"I think we can deploy a sufficient number of surveillance Den Den Mushi on the seabed in advance, just like they did in Impel Down."

"What's the point of just setting up surveillance on Den Den Mushi? I think we should just plant bombs on the seabed. As soon as we find anyone from the Whitebeard Pirates daring to come over from the seabed, we can detonate them and kill them!"

"Can you poison it? Uh, just forget I said anything."

"Is there any way to directly destroy the ship's coating? That would cause disaster for all those people with special abilities."

Everyone had a heated discussion around the new question raised by Jay.

Record what is feasible and what is not feasible first.

Jay believes that this time, facing the Whitebeard Pirates' surprise attack, the navy will not be caught off guard again.

Because of the key suggestions he made this time, he was successfully allowed by the Warring States Marshal to participate in every combat meeting.

Among the lieutenant generals and generals, he, a young brigadier general, stood out.

But no one had any objection to this.

Even Akainu and Aokiji admire him.

It is not easy to speak out and act boldly while hitting the nail on the head.

"I think it's impossible to completely trap the Whitebeard Pirates in this position."

"The greatest test that awaits us will undoubtedly be the melee between the two sides in the square."

"At that stage, it will be a fierce battle between kings and generals!"

"Among them, the power possessed by Whitebeard Edward Newgate is naturally the most terrifying, and will certainly receive our special attention."

"However, when it comes to rescuing Ace, Whitebeard is the one who needs to be least worried."

"Because if I were Whitebeard, I would definitely do everything I could to attract all the high-end combat power of the navy to myself."

"This way, the pressure on the others will drop sharply, and there will be a chance to rescue Ace."

"Also, the number of casualties will be greatly reduced."

Jay stood in front, talking to a group of lieutenant generals and generals, without showing any panic.

This relatively novel statement also caused Zhan Guo and He and others to nod frequently.

Then Sengoku said: "Indeed, given Whitebeard's personality, he is likely to do so."

"But Whitebeard is Whitebeard, and we can't just leave him alone."

"In this war, we must prioritize the achievement of two strategic goals."

"First, we must successfully execute the evil descendant of Pirate King Roger left in this world—Portgas D. Ace!"

"Second, kill Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!"

"As long as we can do these two things, we will be the winner."

Zhan Guo's words are very powerful.

Or in other words, it is issuing a military order.

The former is not difficult to understand. It is both bait and an unstable factor that must be eliminated.

In case the next Roger appears.

And the Navy has announced a public execution to the whole world.

If it fails to be completed, Ace will survive and even be rescued.

Then the war is already half lost.

The prestige of the navy would suffer a huge blow.

So Ace must die.

As for the second point, since we have mobilized all our forces to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates, we must win.

How do you win?

Are we going to kill all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates?

That's unrealistic!

This is only possible if the Navy doesn't care about its future anymore and fights the Whitebeard Pirates to the death, with neither side refusing to take a step back.

But in fact it is not the case.

Because the soul of the Whitebeard Pirates will always be only one person, and that is Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

As long as Whitebeard Edward Newgate is killed, the remaining remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates will not be a problem at all and can be dealt with slowly.

The navy may not even need to take action.

Those pirates who want to become famous and powerful will rush up and try to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Collapse is inevitable.

If Whitebeard didn't die, it would be useless even if more members of the Whitebeard Pirates were killed.

So the tone was set.

Everyone else can survive, but Ace and Whitebeard cannot!

Jay actually wanted to suggest doing some manipulation inside Ace's body beforehand, which would undoubtedly ensure the completion of strategic goal one.

In the original book, Ace had actually been rescued.

But in order to protect Luffy during the battle, he was killed by Akainu.

If it happens again, such a coincidence may not happen again.

But looking at Garp's ugly face, Jay could only sigh in his heart and keep these words in his stomach.

After all, Karp was really nice to him.

Ace is regarded as Garp's grandson.

It's fine that he couldn't give Ace a chance to live because of his position.

If such a vicious plan is proposed again, it would be too disheartening.

However, when it comes to dealing with Whitebeard and others, Jay doesn't have this concern.

He proposed many plans, some of which were adopted and some were rejected.

After the meeting, Jay found Marshal Zhan Guo alone again.

"Your performance just now was outstanding. What's the matter? Do you have any good ideas?"

Jay shook his head, "I have some concerns about the Shichibukai."

Zhan Guo subconsciously raised his eyebrows, "Are you worried that they won't put in enough effort and will just slack off on the battlefield?"

"More than that."

Jay's face was a little serious. "It's almost impossible for these Shichibukai to fight for us and the Whitebeard Pirates. This is basically a consensus."

"Their greater role is still deterrence."

"After all, our strength is there. Even if we don't use our full strength, we can still contain some of the enemy's high-end combat power."

"That's not what I'm worried about."

Zhan Guo nodded, acknowledging his analysis. "Go ahead. In private, you can speak freely."

Jay said seriously, "Personally, I'm more worried about two people. One is Marshall Teach, who calls himself 'Blackbeard,' and the other is... Edward Weeble."

"Let's talk about Marshall Teach first. This guy has always given me a bad feeling."

"He was originally a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. He usually kept a low profile and hid his strength."

"And then suddenly they turned against us and killed a captain so easily!"

"After defecting, he even defeated 'Fire Fist' Ace who came to capture him."

"A person who possesses such powerful strength but has endured it for so many years is undoubtedly terrifying."

Having said that, Zhan Guo's expression became serious and solemn.

Jay paused and continued, "Under normal circumstances, this person doesn't need the status of a Shichibukai at all."

"But he took the initiative to contact our navy and trade with Ace."

"This shows that he is fully aware of Ace's value and knows that we will definitely agree to this deal."

"Then his purpose in doing this is worth pondering."

"From the beginning to the end, the war between us and the Whitebeard Pirates can be seen as the result of the efforts of Blackbeard alone!"

Although Jay's words sounded a bit alarmist, if we think about it carefully and review the development of the whole incident.

The role played by Marshall Teach is indeed very crucial.

It can be said that without this person, there would be no situation today.

Zhan Guo immediately became alert, "What do you think is his purpose in doing this?"

Jay said seriously, "I've thought about it carefully, and I think the most likely scenario is that there's profit to be made."

"profitable?"

"That's right. When our navy and the Whitebeard Pirates are fighting with all their might, Marshall Teach, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, can take advantage of this status to fish in troubled waters and achieve his goal."

Zhan Guo frowned slightly. "I still can't figure out what benefit he can get from this. Is it revenge against Whitebeard? To protect himself?"

Jay said: "That's a possibility, but I prefer the other one."

"I've read Marshall Teach's intelligence files, especially what he did during the period after he defected from the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Recruit soldiers and buy horses!"

"Not only did he give himself a title similar to Whitebeard, hoping to replace Blackbeard, but he also gathered a group of powerful and ruthless people."

"Their wolfish ambitions are already clear to the public."

"But apparently, it's not enough!"
