The strong winds and surging waves rolled and churned, and on the boundless sea, a damp mist filled the air, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the space between the Tianhai.

One can see rows of dreadnoughts, each over a hundred meters long, with steel frames, towering turrets, and weighing tens of thousands of tons, spewing billowing Black Mist, appearing like ferocious beasts in groups from the horizon.

Among them were Brandenburg-class Battleship and Brunswick-class Battleship from the Hans Tiger Country.

There were the Gallic Rooster Country Danton-class Battleship, the Bear Country Opstrov-class Battleship, and the Italian Wolf Country Bon.

And the Royal Sovereign-class Battleship of Great John Bull Country!

There were at least fifty-two battleships alone.

On the contrary, the cruisers and destroyers on the outer perimeter only numbered forty, but the entire fleet was already close to one hundred ships, plus the submarines underwater.

At this time, nearly four months had passed since the establishment of the 'World Alliance', and the alliance fleet was rapidly formed with great efficiency thanks to the sincere cooperation of all parties.

See here.

The high-ranking military and political officials could no longer restrain themselves and decided to start the war first.

They divided the entire fleet into two parts, one in front and one behind, to deal with any unexpected events or situations that might occur ahead.

In terms of warship allocation, the main force was concentrated in the rear fleet.

Even two of the three newly converted Aircraft Carrier used for launching and recovering aircraft were left behind, but they gave nearly half of their Ocean-going Submarine, or two hundred, to the forward fleet.

Because they had already learned some basic information about the underwater sea monster from Great Stick Country.

The remaining two hundred-plus submarines remained with the rear fleet to monitor the underwater situation, while the forward fleet and the rear fleet were about a day apart, maintaining 24-hour communication via radio.

Besides.

In North America, a large fleet led by the Bald Eagle Country is sailing from the Pacific Ocean toward Japan Island Nation, while a joint fleet from Australia and various Southeast Asia Monkey countries is also sailing the seas.

However, all three parties adjusted their speeds according to their respective distances.

All this was so that they could launch a three-pronged attack on the so-called World Government within roughly the same timeframe.

It can be said that...

This time, it truly brings together the naval forces of the world, with a total size exceeding a thousand warships.

Not only that.

At this very moment, major naval bases around the world are still working overtime to build warships, preparing for a protracted, century-long war with the World Government.

Regarding Special Zone No. 2

Crocodile has handed the war over to Kuzan; as long as their homeland isn't invaded, their Army won't interfere.

The navy was satisfied with this.

In order to win this battle, although no additional naval forces were sent to the Demon Slayer World, Sengoku and Garp still came to personally oversee the operation once again.

However, Sengoku has already made it clear that Kuzan will still be in charge of command, and he and Garp will only be responsible for holding the line and will not be the first to attack.

This also significantly reduced the pressure on Kuzan.

His pressure stemmed from the fact that his side had too few warships. Even if he gathered all the warships of all sizes from the former Nippon, Great Stick Country, Mengma Empire, and White Elephant Empire, the total number of ships was still less than two hundred.

Of these, only thirty-four warships could be considered so-called dreadnoughts, which, when spread across the three sides, amounted to about eleven. This was a significant numerical disadvantage compared to the enemy fleet.

If it were anyone else, there wouldn't even be a need for a fight.

Although our navy has undergone several months of special training and can now operate various warships relatively smoothly, it is still inferior to the established navies of other countries.

After all, this is something they've always been playing with.

Therefore, before Sengoku and Garp arrived, Kuzan actually had little confidence in the Otherworld naval battle. After all, no matter how strong he was, he was still just one person, and at most he could take down one side of the fleet.

If the enemy's naval guns were to actually hit the Second Special Zone's territory, the navy would suffer a huge loss of face.

Now it's all right.

Kuzan didn't stand on ceremony with the two big shots, directly assigning Fleet Admiral Sengoku to deal with the fleet from the Americas, while Admiral Garp was in charge of the fleets from Australia and the various monkey nations to the south.

Logically speaking...

He should have entrusted the strongest Europa combined fleet to Sengoku or Garp, but since he was the head of the navy this time, he decided to do it himself.

Now.

Kuzan is leading a large fleet of 64 warships, with the Mikasa as its flagship, stationed in Kronotsky Bay on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

His plan was to place the battlefield in the Kamchatka Strait.

The strait is only 100 kilometers wide on its northern side, with a total area of 370,000 square kilometers, which can limit the enemy fleet's numerical advantage to a certain extent.

Although it doesn't have a significant effect, it's better than nothing.

Also, the cold climate here makes him feel very comfortable.

"Vice Admiral Aokiji, the Europa Alliance Fleet has entered the Bering Strait!"

A Marine Headquarters Colonel walked into the office, his voice loud and he seemed somewhat excited.

"Ara ara ara. We've finally arrived! Let's get ready to go!"

Kuzan removed his legs from the table, took off his blindfold, stood up, draped the Coat of Justice hanging on the rack over his shoulders, bent down, and walked out of the room.

From this vantage point, one can clearly see the entire fleet in the bay.

The sight of those steel warships floating in the sea made his blood begin to heat up.

Soon.

At his command, a large number of naval soldiers from the Sea Star Homeworld, under the direction of a senior officer, began to operate the Otherworld warships that had been practicing for several months in an orderly manner.

Not long after, a large group of heavy cruisers sailed out of the port and entered the waters of the Kamchatka Strait.

At this time, many minelayers were already busy moving back and forth in the distance, their task being to lay out a large minefield.

A dozen or so light cruisers were also zipping around the area at high speed, responsible for surveillance and patrols.

Immediately afterwards, a group of destroyers escorted the dreadnoughts, spreading out behind the strait.

Every warship was bustling with activity on its decks, gun barrels were being adjusted, and the entire navy was on high alert.

Kuzan himself stood on the deck of the Mikasa at the rear, facing the cold sea breeze, letting his Coat of Justice flutter up and down behind him.

[Boom!]

When the sound of mines exploding in the distance reached everyone, they knew that war had begun.

The Europa Alliance Fleet, after sacrificing an Ocean-going Submarine, began deploying minesweepers.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of their numerical superiority, they split up again and attempted to outflank the enemy fleet from the west, reaching the rear of the Kamchatka Strait to encircle it.

However, what Kuzan saw first were fifteen Biplane Fighter flying in from the sky, and ten huge Zeppelin that followed them all the way!

"Oh dear, it seems the Air Force will have to make the first move."

Kuzan chuckled softly, scratching the back of his head in exasperation.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Three ancient warships painted blue and with white sails descended from the clouds high in the sky; they were Air Force warships from the Sea Star Homeworld!

Their appearance caused unrest among the distant Europa Alliance Fleet.

Whether they were high-ranking admirals or low-ranking marines, they all looked utterly dumbfounded.

What is that?

Is it a sailboat-shaped airship? Wait, where are the airbags?

Borsalino, draped in a blue Coat of Justice, stood atop one of the Aircraft Warship, smirking as he surveyed the massive Alliance fleet.

"So many steel warships, they look terrifying!"

At the same time.

Behind him on the deck and on the two Flying Warship beside him, countless blue figures flew out like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

Those were actually Air Force officers wearing Air Force Coat.

The majority of them are Bird Zoan User or Insect Zoan User that allow them to fly, while the other half are skilled in the extremely advanced Geppo.

This is the Air Force under the World Government!
