The Gathered Forces! The Moment the Energy Was Complete!
Wano Country, Onigashima).
Ian summoned all the high-ranking officials who were staying in Wano Country.
It's time for a pre-battle mobilization.
"Vegapunk told the World Government that he needed another four or five months,"
On the top floor of the Onigashima, Ian sat cross-legged at the head of the table, his right elbow resting on his knee, his hand propping up his chin, and chuckled as he said, "But the time he told me was..."
He held up one finger.
The eyes of all the cadres below lit up instantly.
Luo guessed, "A week?"
Everyone's eyes lit up again.
Ian rolled his eyes. "It won't be that fast, about a month."
"A month?"
Teacher Kai nodded gently, "That's fast enough."
Without comparison, there's no harm done; Queen, that good-for-nothing, has spent so many years and still hasn't accomplished anything.
A month is indeed fast enough. When Ian received the news, he couldn't help but marvel at how quickly the world's top scientist had come to be recognized.
After obtaining the detailed information, for Vegapunk, manufacturing the final product was simply a matter of following the steps.
Jack couldn't hold back any longer, "So, does that mean we'll be starting our final battle against the World Government in as little as a month?"
"So,"
Ian slapped his thigh. "We need to prepare for war within this month."
"Should we gather the entire army?"
Bullet said.
The Beasts Pirates had ruled the New World for six years, and their army had grown to an astonishing size.
Simply gathering all the troops wouldn't be a difficult task.
"No need,"
Ian casually remarked, "With the involvement of Ancient Weapon, ordinary soldiers entering that battlefield will only end up as cannon fodder."
"All we need to do is get the Charlotte Family, the Cross Guild, and the elites of the Red-Haired Pirates to come closer."
"What we need is not a large-scale war like the one Joy Boy fought, with the whole world as the battlefield."
Ian said, "It's not a mission, but a decapitation strike that gathers all the elites, launches a direct raid on the World Government's headquarters, and wipes out all the Celestial Dragons and the ruling class of the World Government."
"Oh, that's such a pity!"
Teacher Kai burst into laughter.
He has always longed for a world-class war with the entire world at stake.
What's the point of a clash between small fry?
Ian laughed and said, "Of course, it's more interesting when the strong clash with the strong, isn't it?"
"That's right!"
Teacher Kai laughed even harder.
"Hmph, what's there to say to the World Government?"
Bullet sneered, "Their biggest advantage is just those five unkillable old men! As long as they can't charge their Ancient Weapon, what's there to be afraid of?"
It's no secret that the Ancient Weapon in the hands of the World Government also needs to be recharged.
After all, if the World Government could use the Ancient Weapon at will, they wouldn't have tolerated this for six years, nor would they have allowed Vegapunk to research new energy sources.
If that's the case, then what is there to be afraid of?
"That's not necessarily true."
Ian chuckled softly.
Little do you know, Im has been living for eight hundred years.
Even Joy Boy probably never thought of something like this, right?
Who could have predicted that?
It's incredible that people from eight hundred years ago have survived to this day, and are even hiding on the other side of the world, secretly controlling it.
"Ian, what do you mean?"
Teacher Kai frowned immediately. "Are you saying that the World Government has something we don't know about?"
Ian casually asked, "The ultimate secret of the Op-Op Fruit, the legendary Immortal Surgery —where did this rumor first come from? And who was the first person to undergo the Immortal Surgery?"
"The Immortal Surgery!"
As Devil Fruit User, Law immediately looked up, which touched upon his area of expertise.
After his Devil Fruit power Awakening, he was honestly close to reaching that level.
"Ian,"
A look of surprise crossed Hancock's stunning face. "You mean, there are people within the World Government, or even the Celestial Dragons, who have undergone Immortal Surgery and have lived from the distant past to the present?"
"Don't forget what Im's abilities are."
Ian said, "The immortality displayed by the Gorosei, though different, is quite similar to the ability that Im possessed back then, as Joy Boy said."
"You mean to say,"
Hawk Eyes was utterly astonished. "That guy named Im, the mastermind who led the World Government to defeat the Giant Kingdom and Joy Boy eight hundred years ago and won the final victory, has been alive since eight hundred years ago?"
"It's always good to prepare for the worst."
That's what Ian said.
"Hiss... A guy who's been alive since eight hundred years ago?"
Black Maria felt only horror, "Eight hundred years of accumulation, just how strong would that guy become?"
"Hehehe! I'm actually starting to hope he's really still alive!"
Teacher Kai clenched his fist, "Isn't it more fun to fight someone like that!"
"That's right!"
Yamato completely agreed with her father's view, "Victory is all the more joyful when it comes to defeating the strong!"
"I think, since we're going to win anyway, an easy victory is definitely better."
Sanji scratched his head and said softly.
After all, only when the enemy is weak enough can victory be assured.
There's no need to worry.
Ian shrugged. "Even if he really has lived from eight hundred years ago to the present, it doesn't matter. I'll burn him to ashes."
"Ian!"
Two hearts instantly appeared in Hancock's eyes.
A confident man is the most handsome!
Yamato's eyes sparkled. "Ian, will we win?"
Ian couldn't help but glance at her, then smiled. "We'll win."
"In short, the next step is to have Aunt Linlin and the others gather all their elite personnel here."
He said, "It's time for our officers to come back."
All powerful forces should be assembled, and then we should launch a decisive attack to crush the World Government!
"Clear!"
After the brief meeting, Ian immediately summoned Aunt Linlin, Ryde, and Red-Haired.
Tell them to quickly gather all their subordinates.
"So fast?"
Red-Haired somewhat surprised, "I thought we'd have to wait a while longer!"
"Because things are progressing much more smoothly than I expected."
Ian replied, "In a little over a month at most, the war should break out."
Without further hesitation, the three returned to contact their subordinates and ordered them to move towards Wano Country as quickly as possible.
Oh no, actually it should be two people, not Ryde.
After all, the Cross Guild was now directly under Ian's control, and the only remaining high-ranking officers Shiryu and World, were already Ian's subordinates.
In short, Aunt Linlin and Red-Haired each contacted the Charlotte Family and the Red-Haired Pirates, urging them to come to Wano Country.
About three weeks later, Charlotte Family's ships and the Red Force arrived in Wano Country at roughly the same time.
Both sides even boarded a giant elevator at the same time to enter the interior of Wano Country.
When they met on the elevator, Katakuri looked at the Red-Haired Pirates and calmly said, "I never imagined that one day we would be able to fight side by side."
"Thank Ian."
Red-Haired Pirates -captain Beckman simply said, "That man is indeed a miracle worker. Who could have imagined that one day, some of the world's most fearsome pirate crews would fight side by side?"
Since the Whitebeard Pirates have essentially disbanded, the World's Strongest pirates have indeed gathered in this country and joined Ian's crew!
Katakuri remained silent, while the other Charlotte Family executives displayed a variety of expressions.
Unlike the Red-Haired Pirates, who had already decided to cooperate with the Beasts Pirates, they were forced to come, and naturally harbored some resentment and anger.
But there was nothing they could do; they couldn't resist the Beasts Pirates or Ian's power.
I just hope this war has a good outcome, and that they will have a good outcome afterward.
Red-Haired and Aunt Linlin greeted them at Jinbu Port above.
"So, Captain, what exactly is on the Final Island?"
"Mama! What exactly is this Great Treasure?!"
As they each boarded their ships to Onigashima, the Red-Haired Pirates and the Charlotte Family's executives almost immediately asked each other similar questions.
By the time the ship arrived at Onigashima, both sides already knew almost everything that had happened during that period.
They all looked at the large black ship docked at the port of Onigashima with utter amazement.
"Pluton?"
Beckman couldn't help but be surprised, "A legendary Ancient Weapon, I wonder what kind of power it possesses."
Meanwhile, on the Charlotte Family, Cracker couldn't hide his excitement, exclaiming, "Mama! You've turned that ship into Homie! What are we afraid of the Beasts Pirates for now!"
The Charlotte Family executives were taken aback for a moment, then instantly realized that Cracker's words seemed to make a lot of sense.
If you turned the Ancient Weapon Pluton into Homie, wouldn't that be the World's Strongest?
But Aunt Linlin rolled her eyes. "This ship is unusable for the time being; it has no power."
and.
Even if she had the energy, how could that bastard Ian possibly give her that opportunity?
They were not qualified to get close to Pluton at all; Bullet and Hawk Eyes always stayed on that big ship.
Charlotte Family's siblings were somewhat disappointed, because if they could really seize Pluton, they would have the power to turn the tide.
But for now, they can only obediently accept Ian's control.
Shiryu and World, as representatives of the Cross Guild, arrived even later than them.
Having already pledged allegiance to Ian, Shiryu naturally had no psychological burden whatsoever. Upon arriving at Onigashima, he enthusiastically fawned over Ian.
World, on the other hand, was much more direct, urging Ian to start the war as soon as they met.
Shortly after Shiryu and his group arrived, another group of people arrived.
"Sabo!!"
A ship had just entered the Port of Stealth and come to a stop deep within the cave when a figure eagerly jumped onto the deck.
Ace's gaze swept across the deck almost greedily, quickly settling on one of the people on it.
He wore a somewhat worn black trench coat, a top hat, and carried a steel pipe on his back. He had blond hair and a handsome appearance.
"Ace!!"
A boy the same age as Ace couldn't hold back his tears the moment he saw Ace and rushed towards him.
The two instantly embraced tightly.
"You rascal! It's been so many years!"
Ace patted his brother's back hard, his snot bubbling up in excitement. He looked incredibly disheveled, but also incredibly happy.
"I was really shocked when I found out you joined the Beasts Pirates! Turns out, none of the three of us formed our own pirate crew!"
"I was the one! Who would have thought you'd become Revolutionary Army? But thankfully, Sabo, you're still alive!"
"Only Luffy is left. I wonder how that kid is doing now."
"I heard he's doing quite well at Marine Headquarters. We need to find a way to get him and the old man out of the Navy!"
"Yes..."
Two teenagers who hadn't seen each other in a long time warmly reminisced about the past.
Beside them stood the smiling Dragon, and a group of the Revolutionary Army cadres.
On the shore, the bear couple also came to greet them.
The force from the Giant Kingdom was even slower than the Revolutionary Army.
They arrived on the Giant Warrior Pirates ' ships, but the one personally leading the team was not Dorry and Brogy, but the Giant King!
The most powerful Giant Hero of the entire Giant Kingdom were gathered on that ship.
At this time, Wano Country had gathered an unprecedented and terrifying force.
Now we just have to wait for Vegapunk's results!
It didn't take long.
It will be about a few days later.
Marine Science Unit Base.
In front of a huge, furnace-like metal container, Vegapunk and a group of scientists from the Marine Science Unit were nervously observing the scene inside through the transparent glass.
Inside the glass was a transparent, unidentified liquid, with a faint glimmer of light in the center.
The tiny glimmer of light flickered and danced, and suddenly, a spark flew out.
"Oh!!!"
Outside the container, all the scientists who witnessed this scene cheered excitedly.
Even Vegapunk couldn't help but show a look of delight, waving his right hand and loudly announcing, "It seems our research direction is correct!"
"If we continue researching along this line of thought, the research will be completed in another three or four months!"
"Truly worthy of being Dr. Vegapunk!"
"What a brilliant idea! It's a principle I still struggle to understand!"
"Who isn't? But that's Dr. Vegapunk!"
All the scientists were lavish in their praise.
Only one guy huddled in the corner grimaced unhappily, turned into gas, and disappeared from the spot.
Amidst the laughter, Vegapunk felt a slight pang of emotion.
It's finally finished.
With just one last ingredient added, this semi-finished energy furnace will be completely complete.
So.
