"So, we're starting the operation this soon?"
In Bright's office, Tesoro was rather surprised.
Hadn't they said just a few hours ago that they would hold still for the time being? Why were they now so eager to join the war?
"Well, plans simply can't keep up with changes."
Bright spread his hands helplessly. "Who could have expected Charlotte Linlin to want to join the war so quickly?"
"Oh?"
Tesoro raised an eyebrow. "Charlotte Linlin has already started moving? Kaido is even more impatient than we expected."
"It can't be helped. Kaido certainly doesn't want to see another overlord rise in the New World."
Bright spoke leisurely.
"Another one?"
Tesoro chuckled. "You mean the last one was you, right, Bright?"
"Though it's not exactly boasting anymore."
By now, conquering the New World was no longer an impossible task for Bright.
"There's no need to talk about that nonsense."
Bright smiled. "The key issue now is that Katakuri is finally ready to make his move."
"Oh?"
Tesoro's eyes lit up. "So this time, we're going after Charlotte Linlin?"
"It needs to be done a little more discreetly."
Bright said, "If the Government finds out that we're the ones directing things from behind the scenes, they'll become even more unable to sit still."
Of course, they had already fallen out completely with the Government. Whether they did this or not, the two sides could only end in a life-or-death final battle.
But if they exposed everything too early, it would have a major impact on the decisive battle to come.
Katakuri was his ally. Once he took command of the Charlotte Family, that dominant pirate crew of the New World would also become his ally.
Rather than immediately exposing that relationship to the Government, it was naturally wiser to keep it hidden.
