Two Admirals Together Would Be Safer

"This method might not work," Saint Mars said. "After all, this guy used his ability to hypnotize the Pirate Empress, but we haven't heard of her being kidnapped by anyone since."

In this situation, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the Blood-Eyed Ninja is lecherous.

"Heh, who knows if the Blood-Eyed Ninja went to find the Pirate Empress afterward?" Saint Nusjuro sneered. "Don't forget he disappeared for two whole years!"

For the past two years, they have received no information whatsoever about the Blood-Eyed Ninja.

Therefore, anything is possible.

Saint Mars fell silent; upon reflection, it was indeed true.

Furthermore... considering the fact that the Blood-Eyed Ninja had previously concealed his identity, it's entirely possible that the other party did this in secret.

but...

'If that's really the case, then that Blood-Eyed Ninja is truly patient,' Saint Mars thought to himself.

He didn't even flaunt his relationship with the World's Number One Beauty; that's so unlike the style of a pirate.

Of course, it's also possible that they're overthinking it.

But anyway, there's no harm in letting Stussy try it out, so let's give it a shot.

Thinking this through, Saint Mars nodded and said, "Alright, I'm fine with it."

"Then let's prepare multiple strategies," said Saint Vowchuri. "Use everything we've mentioned and try to take down the Blood-Eyed Ninja without shedding a drop of blood."

"If the other party is unwilling... then we'll have to resort to force!"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, then nodded in unison, saying, "We second that!"

For them, taking down the Blood- Blood-Eyed Ninja Blood-Eyed Ninja at a cost is more valuable than killing him.

So... they're willing to give it a try!

As for how Stussy and her subordinates felt?

The Five Elders didn't care.

To them, these people were merely tools.

Tools don't need to have their own thoughts; they just need to obey orders!

Then, Saint Saturn took out Den Den Mushi and dialed Stussy's number.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Kaga ~"

The Den Den Mushi rang for half a minute before being answered, but the Five Elders showed no displeasure. After all, they knew that Stussy's identity was special and that he needed to find an absolutely safe place to answer the phone, so their expressions remained unchanged throughout.

"I am Stussy."

"It's me," Saint Saturn said calmly.

"The Five Elders..."

Stussy lowered his head, appearing exceptionally humble.

"I have something to tell you."

"Please speak, sir."

You should already know about the Blood-Eyed Ninja, right?

"Yes, I know. I've already seen this issue of the newspaper," Stussy said honestly.

As an organization that gathers intelligence for the World Government, Stussy reads newspapers every day, which is one of his methods of intelligence gathering.

To her surprise, the legendary Blood-Eyed Ninja was still alive!

It's unbelievable that this guy who slapped the World Government in the face is still alive.

"Good to know." Saint Saturn's face darkened. "This guy's existence is a disgrace to the World Government. I demand that you find the Blood-Eyed Ninja's location as soon as possible, and report back to us immediately after you obtain the information."

"Clear!"

Stussy was not surprised at all by this order.

Stussy was already mentally prepared the moment he saw the newspaper.

"And also..."

Saint Saturn for a moment and said, "Try using your men to see if you can take down the Blood-Eyed Ninja or obtain his bloodline."

Stussy:???

Several question marks appeared above Stussy's head. What did she mean by having her people work together to see if they could capture the Blood-Eyed Ninja or obtain his bloodline?

Would such a powerful figure even deign to look at those washed-up women under her command?

The other person isn't some lecherous monster, is they...?

At least that's the case based on the information she received.

But since this was still a request from the Five Elders, Stussy couldn't say anything and could only obediently agree.

"Yes, I understand," Stussy said, head bowed. "I will try to make contact with him then."

"Very well, if necessary... you can also be used as a bargaining chip, understand?"

"Clear..."

A flicker of sadness crossed Stussy's eyes. Even after serving the World Government for so long, she couldn't escape being seen as a tool...

What a tragic life.

"Kaga ~"

Saint Saturn didn't pay attention to Stussy's reaction and ended the call abruptly the moment the other party agreed.

He believed that Stussy would do what he was supposed to do.

"If Stussy can achieve something, it will save us a lot of trouble," said Saint Saturn.

"But that's unlikely."

Saint Peter sighed. Using a woman to lure Blood-Eyed Ninja... it just didn't seem very reliable.

"It's just a try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy; if it fails, there's no loss," said Saint Saturn.

At most, Stussy would just anger the Blood-Eyed Ninja and get killed, but the World Government could have as many tools as they wanted, so Saint Saturn didn't care too much.

Ultimately, in the eyes of the World Government, these CP0 members are nothing more than tools that can be discarded at any time.

As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many CP0 members die, since they can continue to train them.

This time, Saint Peter simply nodded and said nothing more, as it was indeed the case.

"We need to get the Navy moving too," said Saint Nusjuro. "Although they're not the main force for intelligence gathering, we still need some cannon fodder to take down the Straw Hat Pirates."

"We need cannon fodder, and we need Admiral too," Saint Mars said. "Once we've determined the Straw Hat Pirates ' location, we'll transfer the Marine Admiral there."

Who should go?

"Kizaru is definitely going," Saint Mars said. "His abilities can restrain that little girl named Merry."

The opponent possesses the ability to manipulate the wind and could use it to take the Straw Hat Pirates away at any time.

However, if Kizaru were to snipe from the air, the opponent might not be able to escape, so Kizaru had to go.

"Just one Admiral?"

"Of course, two Admiral!"

"Then who should go?"

This time, Saint Mars didn't speak immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Personally, I'd prefer Ryokugyu to go, because he's much more obedient than Fujitora."

Although they didn't know why, Ryokugyu was indeed very obedient to their World Government, which was why they were quite satisfied with this Admiral.

"But the Holy Land must retain a Admiral," Saint Saturn frowned. "Don't forget the Revolutionary Army."

The Revolutionary Army has become increasingly audacious in recent years, and no one knows whether these guys will follow the example of the Blood-Eyed Ninja and cause trouble in the Holy Land.

Without Admiral, their losses would be enormous.

As for the God's Knights?

The God's Knights are a force that can only be deployed in critical moments and cannot be exposed to the public eye under normal circumstances, so they are not under consideration for the time being.

"Why not just leave Fujitora in the Holy Land?" said Saint Mars.

"But Fujitora was just punished by being sent to chase after the Straw Hat Pirates and Trafalgar Law."

Saint Mars:???

Saint Mars looked at Saint Saturn with a surprised expression and said, "You don't really think that guy can kill Straw Hat, do you? With the Blood-Eyed Ninja around, even if he fights desperately, he can't possibly defeat the entire Straw Hat Pirates."

"Instead of letting him continue wasting his time outside, we should bring him back."

"But if we let him off so easily, who knows if he'll go even further in the future?" Saint Saturn said in a deep voice.

He knew Fujitora couldn't possibly kill Straw Hat, but if he simply withdrew the punishment, would the World Government still have any authority?

Without authority, how can you manage your subordinates in the future?

The other four people who heard this remained silent.

Yes, if punishments are easily lifted, how will they manage their subordinates in the future?

Even if the other party is Marine Admiral, they cannot treat this so lightly.

"Then let him continue the pursuit," Saint Nusjuro voice. "Anyway, the Reverie is coming up soon, and Three Admirals admirals will have to return to protect the Holy Land. At that time... we can then legitimately keep him in the Holy Land."

Doing so would not cause the World Government to lose face.

"Can."

The other four nodded; it was indeed a good idea.

"However... I prefer to have Fujitora and Kizaru join forces to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates," Saint Peter said. "Both of them possess the ability to fly, and together they can absolutely seal off the sky."

"That's true..."

Saint Nusjuro narrowed his eyes; that guy's ability was indeed very convenient.

"But this guy's mindset is ultimately a problem," Saint Saturn frowned. "What if he goes easy on us again?"

There might only be one chance to ambush and kill the Blood-Eyed Ninja.

If they fail, capturing their opponent again will not be easy, and they will also have to endure the Blood-Eyed Ninja's retaliation.

Therefore, Saint Saturn was still reluctant to let Fujitora go.

"That's a problem too..."

Everyone frowned. If Fujitora messed things up, they might lose their chance to obtain Ninja power.

This is not acceptable to them.

"Let's wait and see," Saint Mars said. "It's uncertain how long it will take to find an opportunity to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates. We can observe Fujitora more carefully in the meantime."

"If that doesn't work... then let Ryokugyu go."

While Ryokugyu's abilities might not be very useful against the Blood-Eyed Ninja, they should be more than enough to limit the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Actually, we don't necessarily need to send two Admiral together," Saint Vowchuri said in a deep voice. "The five of us together can completely make up for any lack of combat strength."

"With Kizaru and Seraphim added in... taking down the Straw Hat Pirates shouldn't be a problem."

Instead of worrying about whether Fujitora will cause trouble, it would be better to just remove him, which would reduce some uncertainty.

Moreover... in terms of raw strength, Saint Vowchuri believed he was no weaker than Admiral.

Under these circumstances, taking down the Straw Hat Pirates shouldn't be a problem.

The group exchanged glances, then nodded in unison, accepting Saint Vowchuri's explanation.

"If we're truly short-handed at that time, then just the few of us can go," Saint Mars said. "However... I still prefer to bring an additional Admiral."

It's safer to have two Admiral together.

If Fujitora can't do it, then let Ryokugyu do it.

"Let's do it that way then."

Everyone nodded, finally confirming this idea.

"Let's convey our thoughts to Sakazuki," Saint Nusjuro said. "Let them search for the Straw Hat Pirates together."

I second that!

"What a hassle..."

Sakazuki, who had just put down the Den Den Mushi, picked up the newspaper next to him with a gloomy expression and looked at it again and again.

This issue of the newspaper is becoming increasingly jarring to look at.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"What's wrong?" Sakazuki glanced at Borsalino, who walked in carrying nail clippers, and said, "Didn't you read this issue of the newspaper?"

"I saw it."

"You're still so calm after seeing this?"

"Otherwise what?" Borsalino put down his nail clippers and retorted, "The decision isn't in my hands, so what's the point of wasting any more brain cells?"

Sakazuki:...

Seeing Borsalino's listless expression, Sakazuki's fist immediately hardened.

His good friend is great in every way, but his laziness is just infuriating.

"The World Government has ordered us to send people out to search for the Straw Hat Pirates," Sakazuki said in a deep voice. "Afterwards, we'll have to cooperate with them in a raid to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates."

"I expected that," Borsalino waved his hand and said, "Aren't Issho and Smoker outside? Just let them go look for them."

"That was also an order you gave before, wasn't it?"

Although taking down Straw Hat and Law's heads is impossible due to the Blood-Eyed Ninja, finding their whereabouts is still not a problem.

If they can find the Straw Hat Pirates 'Straw Hat Pirates location, they can report it to the World Government and formulate a plan to wipe them out.

But...

With the Blood-Eyed Ninja around, it's uncertain whether Xiao and his group will be able to find each other.

"I will naturally inform them," Sakazuki said, frowning. "But this time, in the encirclement and suppression of the Blood-Eyed Ninja... we may suffer considerable losses."

Sakazuki hadn't forgotten that his opponent possessed the ability to create clones.

Once the Blood-Eyed Ninja unleash their full power, their Taxi Soldiers will definitely suffer.

At that time... no one knows how many people will die on their side.

Thinking about this gave Sakazuki a real headache.

"What, worried about the little guys on the front lines?"

"Nonsense." Sakazuki said, his face darkening. "When have I ever not cared about the lives of my soldiers?"

He used to be known as the Iron-Blooded General, but that doesn't mean he was a cold-blooded person.

"Just kidding, don't mind me." Borsalino chuckled, then said with a complicated expression, "Sakazuki... even if you don't want to, what can you change?"

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki immediately fell silent.

Yes, even if he's unwilling, what can he change?

The order came from the World Government, and their navy had no choice but to obey.

As the Fleet Admiral, he was especially incapable of disobeying orders.

Thinking of this, Sakazuki sighed helplessly.

He once again experienced the bitterness of Marshal Sengoku.
