This occurred after Gawain hosted a banquet for Bullet and Aramaki to join the Dark Bird Alliance.
A whole day has passed.
The Starlight are shining brightly now, and the moon reflects the shadows of the day, allowing ships at sea to clearly see the shimmering waves.
In the West Blue, within Capone's mafia family, countless mafia members were rapidly moving various chairs.
They placed countless chairs in front of the huge screen, and also put the prepared video broadcast Den Den Mushi) in a more appropriate position.
As they moved the goods, one of the mafia members couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Hey, boss?"
He carried a chair over and asked one of the more senior thugs nearby.
"I just brought back a batch from Tokushima. My boss and I stayed there for three whole months to get this channel open."
We did such a big deal, and we didn't even have time to rest before being called over to move things.
It's driving me crazy! All the girls in the back alley miss me.
Hey bro, do you know what's going on with the family? Why are you doing this kind of moving stuff in the middle of the night?
Are we setting up a meeting venue?
After saying that, the mafia member glared at the old man with displeasure.
Meeting the mafia's gaze, the veteran henchman spat and said.
"You've only been here a few years, haven't you? Didn't you experience the internal purge four years ago?"
Otherwise, you'll learn the lesson of talking less and doing more. Keep your mouth shut and get to work; that way, you can live a little longer!
As for your reason, humph!
You wanted to rest, right? You can rest first thing tomorrow morning!
The reason we set up this platform here is because tomorrow morning's Den Den Mushi broadcast will feature some absolutely unmissable content!
Capone really meant well by building a dedicated streaming platform for us brothers.
Otherwise, if we want to see those things, we'll have to go to pubs and stand on the street, fighting with passersby for a good spot."
After saying that, the old thug ignored the young man.
Finish the work as soon as possible, then find a place to sit down and rest.
At that moment, with a drink in his left hand and a cigar in his right, he'd lean back on the sofa, his tongue lingering on the passing maids, and his eyes glued to the big screen.
This is what life is all about!
The senior colleague wants to leave, but the newcomer disagrees!
Because the older generation didn't explain everything!
"Wait, boss, what's going on there?"
What are some must-see things we should see?
What's so interesting about this? Did those young women from Dark Bird Television Station go into the adult entertainment industry?
I've always liked that woman with big breasts and a big butt. She's the Queen of the Pleasure District. You couldn't even see her laugh without spending hundreds of millions of Beli before, but now you can see her for free.
"By the way, did she really debut?"
"Go to hell!"
The veteran thugs didn't even want to talk to this kid anymore, but what he said was just too stupid.
So the boss raised his hand and foot and kicked his buttocks hard with his pointed leather shoes, then continued cursing.
"Have you been burying your head in fantasies for the past six months?"
Don't you know that something big is about to happen in the New World?
The Four Emperors! That was the first time the Four Emperors of the Pirates had ever worked together!
Even though they only have three emperors left, just thinking about them joining forces makes my blood boil!
"Ha?"
The young gangster was completely bewildered by what the veteran thug said.
"What's going on? The emperors have joined forces? Are they planning to attack Mary Geoise?!"
Six months ago, I would still read the One Piece newspaper, but in the last six months, the pirates have been suppressed too badly by the Dark Bird Alliance.
Whether it's the New World or Reverse Mountain, the Dark Bird Alliance has completely controlled the pirates; it's almost unbearable to watch.
"Then you can start looking forward to it now, kid!"
After being suppressed by the Dark Bird Alliance for nearly nine months, the great pirates of the New World have finally risen up!
The world's strongest man, the world's most Haki man, and the world's strongest woman have joined forces and are going to attack the Red Line and Mary Geoise tomorrow morning!
However, the Dark Bird side was also extremely confident, as they had announced early on that they would be broadcasting the battle live!
"This is unbelievable! That's the combined might of the three World's Strongest Emperors of the Sea in the New World! How dare they broadcast it live?!"
"Whoa!!!"
The young thug looked excited.
"This is fucking huge, I'm getting excited!"
Holy crap, I need to hurry up and move these things so I can finish this job quickly and have a few drinks!
"Yeah, get your job done, kid."
At the same time, everyone around the world who received the news of the live broadcast was just as excited as the Capone Family at that moment.
The common people eagerly awaited Gawain's ultimate victory.
Because the past six months have proven that after Gawain diligently controlled the pirates, the quality of life for the vast majority of ordinary people has indeed improved!
Of course, the improvement in quality of life comes more from the job creation chain brought about by the Sea Train and its important role in revitalizing the economy.
Anyone involved in the Sea Train project, as well as logistics and tourism projects, can earn significantly more than they did in the past.
However, once they had money, they immediately became even more worried about the existence of pirates.
In the past, everyone was poor, so poor that they only had one life left, and they couldn't even get enough to eat.
Pirates?
What pirates!
I've got nothing but a worthless life, take it if you want!
I'm not only unafraid of death and pirates, but if you pirates are willing to give me a full meal, I'll follow you.
Either join the pirates in burning, killing, looting, and drinking to their hearts' content, or join the Revolutionary Army to rebel against them!
But now...
As people's lives improve, they not only have more food and clothing, but also accumulate some savings.
People's impression of pirates immediately turned sour.
Don't even think about taking my money!
What decent person would cook for the Revolutionary Army?
Nobody can stop me from making money!
I earn two thousand a month, and I don't even know what to do with the rest!
I get two eggs extra with every egg-shaped pastry I buy!
In short...
Influenced by this ideology, countless ordinary people on the Grand Line even spontaneously prayed for Gawain and his companions.
They had gathered early near the various Visual Den Den Mushi, holding candles and other objects to light up the night sky, while chanting the names of the Dark Bird Ship crew.
Of course, only ordinary people in the Grand Line would do this.
The common people of the Four Blues and the New World, especially on the various islands near Reverse Mountain.
Those civilians hate the Dark Bird Ship to death!
What did they do to deserve this? They inexplicably became a prime target for pirates.
In just six months, the pirate front lines near the Four Blues Reverse Mountain and near Dressrosa in the New World...
More than fourteen islands have been transformed into Lawless Zone similar to or even surpassing those of Mock Town!
At the same time, there are three poor little countries that are not even good enough to be in the top fifty, so they will never be able to go to Mary Geoise for the meeting, let alone receive help from the World Government.
Those three small nations, which had survived for eight hundred years, were finally destroyed by pirates who were constantly gathering and becoming increasingly volatile as the situation developed.
Therefore, the Dark Bird Ship would receive no blessings whatsoever in those Lawless Zone.
Fortunately, those innocent people did not only curse the Dark Bird Ship.
They cursed both the Dark Bird and the pirates, so at least on the level of God, the two sides could be considered even.
Cursing them all will bring fairness!
Leaving aside the attitudes of ordinary people towards this live-streamed war.
Let's turn our attention back to the soldiers who truly need to fight.
At this very moment, countless naval soldiers are continuously boarding Mary Geoise's Bubble Gondola to cross the Red Line and arrive in the New World.
Because of the need to mobilize too many troops, the Navy had already begun mobilizing its forces as early as when Gawain made his declaration of war.
For the past three days, the Bubble Gondola in Mary Geoise have been running non-stop, causing tens of thousands of exhausted slaves to die in Mary Geoise.
In the past, people like Sengoku or Sora would have felt boundless sympathy for slaves.
But at this moment, none of them could utter a single word of sympathy for the slaves of Mary Geoise.
Because those dead slaves only died in front of the soldiers!
The number of soldiers who will die on the battlefield next will be at least hundreds of times that of the slaves who died!
With its expansion over the past six months, the Dark Bird Ship now boasts over 800,000 soldiers at its base in the New World.
After undergoing rotational garrison duty at Reverse Mountain and basic training at Zephyr Wholesale, these soldiers are generally comparable to the Navy's ordinary elite troops.
However, compared to the navy, the Dark Bird Ship's 800,000 personnel were still too few!
Because once the decision was made to assemble, the Navy managed to fill the New World No. 1 outpost, which Gawain had prepared for unlimited expansion from its inception, with more than 6.8 million soldiers in just three days.
What does 6.8 million people mean? This number far exceeds that of the Summit War!
It was precisely because the navy had such a large number of lower-ranking soldiers that Gawain chose to abandon the decision to push the battle line hundreds of kilometers out to sea.
The New World simply doesn't have ships big enough to hold all those soldiers!
At this very moment, the last two groups of soldiers are lined up on the Sabaody Archipelago, waiting for the arrival of the Bubble Gondola.
As they waited, many soldiers' hands began to tremble.
When allocating the order of transporting marines, the Sengoku period placed the best soldiers at the front.
The advantage of this is that if war breaks out unexpectedly ahead of schedule, the navy can rely on its best soldiers to quickly mount a defense.
So we waited until the last two batches...
These two batches of nearly 170,000 soldiers are probably the two batches with the lowest quality in the Marine Headquarters.
Of course, the poor quality is relative. Compared with the navies of Four Blues, these naval personnel, although they have been in service for a shorter period of time, are generally still very spirited.
As for their trembling hands and the fact that they dared not speak, it created an atmosphere of extreme silence among hundreds of thousands of people standing together.
Clearly, they're too new!
Rookie!
The mere sound of the Bubble Gondola landing startled many of them!
On the descending Bubble Gondola, I looked down at the soldiers below, their expressions tense and terrified.
Garp crossed his arms, frowned, and gave a comment.
"Sending these new recruits to the battlefield is incredibly irresponsible. They've only been in the army for a few years; they're practically still kids!"
"That guy from the Sengoku is really messing things up. It looks like I might have to keep an eye on them during the war!"
After saying that, Garp exhaled sharply, and his breath hit the wall of the Bubble Gondola, actually causing a small crack in the wall!
Garp is now fully prepared for the battle.
Even if he's just standing there, every muscle and every cell in his body is silently working together to unleash their power!
If you look closer, you can clearly see that Garp is making the most of every moment to hone the muscles beneath his face and the skin covered by his beard.
Not to mention Garp's internal organs, which are being automatically tempered and refined, which is why he instinctively exhales like a sword!
Beside Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru rolled his eyes.
"You old devil, you can't shake your habit of talking about others behind their backs."
Do you remember when you were pursuing me, you liked to say one thing to my face and another behind my back?
To my face you're like a clingy pest, but behind my back you call me a boring Big Mom.
If it weren't for the fact that you always talked badly about me behind my back, I might have chosen you back then.
You're a bit lazy, but you're also straightforward and a little dim-witted.
But you are ultimately the most deserving hero in the Navy.
It just has a mouth..."
"Haha, of course I remember what happened back then!"
Upon hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, Garp's face flushed red. He rubbed the back of his head and said, half-laughing and half-crying.
"Don't take what happened back then to heart. The so-called bad things I said behind your back were just the kind of stubbornness that every man likes to talk."
I was only a little kid back then, and boys just love to brag!
Who knows that the boasts I made with Zephyr and the others while drinking would actually be told to you by Zephyr's girlfriend at the time!
Because of this, I've held a grudge against Zephyr for over forty years. Why couldn't he take better care of his wife?
If that were my wife, I could make her go east, and she wouldn't dare go west!
"Ha, still going west? Don't you understand? It's your attitude that's why I don't like you."
You are too self-centered, too domineering, and too autocratic!
"So you married a good-for-nothing? A woman with such a strong desire for control like you can only marry a sissy who is weak and cowardly enough!"
Which outstanding man can be controlled by a woman?
How can an outstanding woman possibly get along with an outstanding man?
Being friends is great, we're best friends for life.
But if they were husband and wife... oh my god!!!
Garp gasped.
"Luckily you didn't choose me back then, otherwise that scene... just thinking about it terrifies me."
If the two of us were together, we'd probably fight eight times a day, and it would be you hitting me!
Because I don't hit women, hmph!
"Ha ha!"
He was amused by Garp and chuckled as the Bubble Gondola slowly came to a stop.
Crane patted Garp's arm.
"Stop being so reckless, old ghost. Let's work together to send the last two batches of navy to the New World."
On Gawain's side, the pirates have already surrounded the stronghold with more than 80,000 ships.
Although Whitebeard's Moby Dick hasn't appeared yet, Shanks' Red Force (Red Force) is already approaching!
