A Difficult Mission!
A stunningly beautiful woman, eight meters tall with a voluptuous figure and pink hair, wore a pink captain's hat and had an excited and greedy smile plastered on her face.
A burly, blond man, six meters tall, with a signature white crescent-shaped mustache, stood there, his large guandao (a type of halberd) gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Sea Star World's undisputed World's Strongest Man and World's Strongest woman!
Upon hearing Crocodile's introduction, Biba Amatori etched the faces of these two people deep into his mind, considering the Sea Star World to be an existence equivalent to the Divine Realm.
To be called the 'World's Strongest' in such a world is to be an absolute monster!
"Now that everyone is here, let's move to the conference room. I'll explain the upcoming battle plan and your respective tasks."
Crocodile took two steps forward and, under the powerful gazes of numerous Admiral, vice Admiral, and elite Vice Admiral, fearlessly surveyed everyone present.
Although he was only a Vice Admiral, he was the Army commander of the Demon Slayer World.
Once these bigwigs leave, if there are any subsequent military operations, such as a rebellion in some area, he will still be responsible for suppressing it.
Just like how Bullet is now in charge of the Kabane World.
Therefore, no one objected to Crocodile, and in the blink of an eye, everyone gathered in a rather simple but spacious meeting room in the camp.
Crocodile stood at the head of the conference table, with a large map of Nippon and the Demon Slayer World displayed on the whiteboard behind him, surrounded by high-resolution photos of various target locations.
Seated on the left side of the conference table were Sengoku, Garp, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Shiryu, Onigumo, Doberman Stainless, and others.
On the right sat Newgate, Linlin, Wald, Bullet, Kaido, King, Marco, Jozu, Oven, and others.
It is clear that the two sides are not seated according to military branches at all, and there is a distinct sense of division between them.
This is why the Five Elders were willing to sacrifice the Demon Slayer World and insisted on having these people participate in this first Otherworld war.
Although they are now considered one of their own in terms of status, they still habitually divide themselves into 'naval' and 'One Piece' in their minds, which is a very obvious hidden danger.
Therefore, these people must be made to fully understand that from now on their stance is no longer that of 'Navy' and 'One Piece,' but rather 'Sea Star' and 'Otherworld'!
"Everyone should already know the basic facts about this world before they came."
Crocodile was completely unconcerned about the tense atmosphere between the two sides, and instead regarded himself as the commander of this war.
"Aside from Muzan Kibutsuji and the demons who have already been defeated, there are no other individuals in this world with high combat strength, and most people are physically weak."
"But they have a very complete industrial system and a large amount of firearms for a large population, forming a military force that far exceeds ours in scale."
"According to the intelligence gathered by CIPHER POL, this Japan Island Nation, where we are currently located, has a population of about 70 million, an army of over one million, 26 main ironclad Army, Ironclad Warship navy of about 40,000, and Air Force."
"The Nippon army is divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Of particular note are the eighteen First-Class Division, each with approximately 20,000 to 30,000 troops."
It took Crocodile over an hour to finish introducing the Nippon military situation, with a focus on the Army's artillery, the navy's warships, and the Air Force's aircraft.
"It sounds like it's good for nothing except for having a lot of people," Bullet sneered.
"You could say that."
Crocodile didn't deny it, because it was true, but he reminded everyone present.
"But they have a huge number of people. Our opponent is not just a Japan Island Nation, but the entire world. CIPHER POL estimates that the total military strength of this world exceeds ten million, and may even reach tens of millions."
The Sengoku, however, shook his head.
"It's not that exaggerated. You've overlooked morale. Once they suffer one or two waves of heavy casualties and see no possibility of victory, the rest of them won't come to their deaths."
At this point, the Navy Fleet Admiral glanced at his fellow One Piece at the table opposite him and warned in a deep voice, "I hope you all remember at all times that our mission is to severely damage the military and political systems of various countries, not their civilians!"
For him, as long as the World Government doesn't give orders, he will try his best not to harm innocent people. Of course, if there are clear orders from above, such as the Buster Call, he will carry them out coldly. That's his sense of justice.
"Mommy~ I just want to eat all the sweets in this world. If they behave well, Mommy is very kind!"
Charlotte Linlin excitedly stuck out her tongue and wiped her lips, her mouth overflowing with saliva.
"Gurarara! I will try my best to attack those who attack me, but I cannot guarantee that civilians will not be affected!"
Edward Newgate laughed heartily.
Jozu and Marco nodded slightly after hearing their Pops's words.
Apart from them, Byndi Wald, Kaido, King, and the others remained silent, while Shiryu, with a cigar in his mouth, sneered repeatedly.
This made Sengoku and Aokiji, who were sitting opposite each other, frown, but they didn't say anything.
"So, according to the plan, we need to control Japan Island Nation first, and then suppress the other powerful nations. Now I will assign everyone's mission objectives."
Crocodile didn't quite agree with Sengoku's words, thinking he was too naive.
Since it is war, there is no such thing as innocent or not innocent, because war is not just about officials and soldiers, but about the entire country.
Putting aside everything else, shouldn't weapons and food be manufactured and grown by civilians?
If we win, all the citizens will enjoy the benefits of war; if we lose, everyone will suffer. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
"The 1st Army 1st Division, a Class A unit near the Nippon capital, under the command of Admiral Edward Newgate, is ordered to be annihilated!"
Newgate felt a little awkward hearing the word 'Admiral' appended to his name, but he knew he had to get used to it, so he nodded in agreement.
"Vice Admiral Vice Admiral is in charge of the Aokiji Naval Yokosuka Base. He has been instructed to capture as many students as possible and to avoid damaging infrastructure and warships."
Kuzan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the order; he really couldn't bring himself to annihilate a group of weaklings.
This made him look at Crocodile with surprise; he hadn't expected this One Piece to have a merciful side.
"Don't be surprised. Your abilities are the most suitable for preserving those ironclad warships intact. We also need some people familiar with them to teach our navy how to operate and build those warships. And those facilities definitely contain complete shipbuilding equipment, which must be well protected."
Crocodile grinned, which made Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and others look at him with newfound respect.
"Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Marco, you need to go to Hokkaido in the far north and annihilate the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 11th Division there."
"Admiral Kaido and Vice Admiral Jin, you must also head to Kyushu Island in the far south, annihilate the 4th and 8th Divisions there, as well as the 14th Division on Shikoku Island and the 13th Division on Honshu Island, and then occupy the Sasebo Naval Base there, awaiting the arrival of the army forces."
Crocodile then added, "Because the two ends are too far apart, and our plan is to suppress Japan Island Nation as quickly as possible, there will be no Army troops following you."
This means they had to face tens of thousands of divisional troops alone, undertaking what was arguably the most 'difficult' task.
