Ronglin shook his head. "According to another report, Kaido has already left the waters around Wano Country. The main fleet did not suffer much damage. I don't believe they could have severely crippled CP0 at such a small cost, not even with an ambush."
Jazz's expression changed. "Then it wasn't Kaido?"
Ronglin nodded and crushed the information in his hand to powder. "I don't know who could pull off something this big—crippling the CP0 fleet and wiping out two high-ranking Marine officers. We need to pay close attention to a force with that kind of combat power."
"There's one more thing. The huge canal we dug is about to be completed, but we probably won't be able to reinforce it," Jazz said.
Ronglin had dispatched two hundred thousand laborers to work day and night, digging a massive canal from another bay in the Ashil Kingdom. Seawater would flow through it all the way to the venue of the Ten Thousand Nations Alliance Summit, encircling the outer perimeter of the conference grounds. From above, the venue looked like a small castle, while the canal resembled a moat.
In order to finish before the summit began, Ronglin had spared no expense in manpower and offered the laborers triple wages to motivate them to work faster and shorten the construction period. Now it was finally almost complete. Once they broke through the last gap in the bay, seawater would be able to pour in.
The canal was more than three hundred meters wide and extremely deep. Even some large warships with very high displacement could barely sail into it.
According to Ronglin's plan, when the summit began, a Fish-Man unit would lie in wait beneath the water, a fleet would be deployed on the river's surface, an army would be stationed outside the
