Proclamation Against the Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates by the New World Marines
This is happening in the conference room of the G-3 Marine Base.
A huge map of Archino Island was projected onto the conference screen.
Although it is not yet completed, many areas have already been planned, such as the coastal defense artillery construction area, the dock and naval port construction area, the rest camp and logistics storage area, and the Execution Platform. These architectural plans have been sent to Moria by Tesoro.
Moreover, on the third day of the conference, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Tesoro had already left G-3 base to meet up with Moria and begin infrastructure construction on Archino Island.
Aside from these architectural constructions, echelons have already been drawn up on the main battlefield.
Marine Admiral such as Momonga, Hoshigaki, Strawberry, Stainless, and Kaisa each have their own areas and directions of responsibility on the battlefield.
Sakazuki, Issho, Gion, Tokikake, and others also undertook corresponding battlefield missions.
Among them, Tokikake was in charge of overseeing the Execution Platform as the last line of defense, and when necessary, he would directly execute Momonosuke and Kozuki Oden.
In other words, as long as the front lines do not collapse, Tokikake will not participate in the battle.
Ortolan wanted to assign the role to Sakazuki, but Sakazuki strongly opposed it at the meeting.
He came to the New World to participate in wars, not to sit on the Execution Platform!
If he can't fight the Whitebeard Pirates and kill those bastard pirates with his own hands, then what's the point of his trip?
So Sakazuki requested to fight on the front lines. Ortolan couldn't argue with this ruthless man who was obsessed with killing pirates, and under his strong insistence, he had no choice but to agree.
According to the battlefield echelon division, Vice Admiral such as Momonga and Hoshigaki will form the first line of defense together with the Shichibukai, including Smoker.
This means they will be deployed to the front lines of the battlefield to participate in the most intense fighting.
Following the likes of the flying Momonga, their elite members, such as Rear Admiral and Commodore, will become the liaison and command hubs on the battlefield, responsible for conveying orders from superiors and making adjustments to troop movements and combat strategies.
This means engaging in basic pirate combat, not dealing with opponents at the level of Whitebeard Pirates division commander.
Then there's the currently agreed-upon first line of defense. Sakazuki and Gion will be stationed there, ready to provide rapid support should the first line of defense encounter problems, thus relieving the pressure.
To be honest, Sakazuki, as a Marines Admiral, is a Marines bigwig on par with Ortolan in this major battle. He wouldn't possibly place himself in such a prominent position.
But this was Sakazuki's strong request. He didn't intend to compete with Ortolan for command or battlefield control. He just wanted to kill the pirates. Ortolan granted his simple wish in the end.
However, placing him on the front line was not quite appropriate, so the final arrangement was for Sakazuki and Gion to be in charge of the front line.
After that, it was Ortolan and Ikko.
At this point, it's still uncertain whether Kuzan will come to help or not. In any case, Ortolan has no intention of inviting him, so Ichisho will have to take some responsibility in the plan to deal with tsunamis and other related attacks.
Therefore, although Yixiao is strong in combat, he cannot be placed on the front line. He must stay in the central region with Ortolan.
That's right, Ortolan didn't intend to sit at the rear. If it were arranged according to the normal Marines battle procedure, as Admiral and the Commander-in-Chief of this war, he should have been positioned at the very back, in the Execution Platform area, just like Sengoku was as the Fleet Admiral in the Summit War.
But Ortolan had his own considerations. He wanted to fight Whitebeard, the Strongest Man. In this battle, he not only wanted to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, but also to seize the title of the strongest!
Therefore, Ortolan will be stationed in the central region with Issho, commanding the war while eliminating Whitebeard.
Inside the meeting room, Ortolan tapped the table. "Alright, the division of war zones and the allocation of responsibilities have been arranged. Does anyone have any further objections?"
As Ortolan finished speaking, the Marines officers in the conference room all shook their heads, indicating that they had no objection to this arrangement.
Seeing this, Ortolan nodded and said, "In that case, the battlefield division is settled. As for mutual support and cooperation among everyone on the battlefield, I don't need to say anything more, do I?"
Upon hearing this, the Momonga laughed heartily, "Everyone here has been a Marines officer for so many years, there shouldn't be anyone who isn't familiar with these things, this is our Marines's specialty..."
Combined attack tactics are an absolute specialty of the Marines.
At the same time, the Marines has a well-established and mature command system. On the battlefield, it is noisy and chaotic, but as soon as a signal is sent, these experienced generals will immediately understand what to do next and how to cooperate with their colleagues. This is the advantage of the Marines!
There are many types of Marines signals. Memorizing these signals and knowing what to do and when is an essential skill for Marines officers!
Moreover, once war begins, the battlefield situation becomes unpredictable and complex. Discussing detailed and meticulous battle plans here now would undoubtedly be considered mere theoretical talk. You are all elite generals who have experienced too many actual battles, so you would not make such a mistake.
As soon as the Momonga finished speaking, the other generals, including Hoshigaki, laughed and chatted about related matters, all of them very confident.
After they finished their banter, Ortolan turned to Hina Yu and said, "Now, let's move on to the next topic."
Tina nodded immediately and changed the slide. This time, the slide was a picture with the word "" written all over it. The title read a few big words "New World Navy seeks revenge on the Whitebeard Pirates for causing harm to the world"!
"This war is far-reaching and is the largest war in the New World in recent years since the Ed War Sea Battle and the subsequent power struggles among various pirate groups. We, the Marines, are different from pirates. Pirates don't need to care about public opinion, righteousness, or reputation, but we, the Marines, must abide by these. Therefore, our secretariat has drafted several manifestos regarding this war. This manifesto is the most suitable one we have selected. This is also the last topic. Please discuss whether this manifesto can be published as our declaration of war in various newspapers and media outlets?" Hina stood beside the slides, introducing the topic in a crisp and clear tone.
After Hina finished her introduction, the eyes of the Marines officers all turned to her.
"A Proclamation from the New World Marines to Punish the Whitebeard Pirates, the Scourge of Mischief!"
Since the battle at God Valley, the Rocks Pirates have been scattered and destroyed. The situation in the New World has deteriorated further, with order collapsing and pirates running rampant. Shiki was one such figure, followed by Roger, who once ravaged the New World. As a result, sixteen kingdoms in the New World have been overthrown in the past decade, and countless people have lost their homes, families, and lives in dire straits.
We, the Marines, have been fighting against the pirates who wreak havoc in the New World for many years in the name of justice. Today, Roger has been killed, Shiki has died in battle, the order in the New World waters has gradually stabilized, the Marines's jurisdiction is prosperous and peaceful, the people's lives are getting better and better, and the wounds are gradually healing.
However, even in the New World, the legacy of pirates still lingers. Following Shiki and Roger, the Whitebeard Pirates now reign supreme, known as the king of pirates.
Governor-General Admiral Benn Ortolan, the Viceroy of the Marines in the New World Seas, deeply felt the guilt of being the root cause of the many troubles in the New World today. As long as injustice persists, justice will be tarnished, the seas will be in turmoil, and the people will not be able to live in peace.
Our duty as the New World Marines is to maintain peace and stability in the waters of the New World, to eliminate treacherous pirates, to protect the safety and well-being of the people, and to promote the prosperity and development of the New World.
Therefore, the New World Marines must not tolerate such a scourge as the Whitebeard Pirates!
After unanimous discussion and decision by New World Marines Governor-General Admiral Banne Ortolan, Marines Admiral Akainu Sakazuki, and all the New World Marines commanders, it has been decided that, effective today, the New World Marines officially declares war on the Whitebeard Pirates!
This battle is for justice, for peace, for development, and for the safety of the people!
As long as the Whitebeard Pirates are eliminated, this battle will not end!
Justice will prevail!
