Marco flew towards his own pirate ship, the brilliant firelight reflecting his twinkling eyes.
"Marines indeed has a trick up his sleeve..."
Thinking of the Navy's propaganda about the characteristics of light-cast crystals as "life-saving in near-death" and "broken and ineffective", and then thinking of the way Ace crushed the crystal to treat a broken arm just now, Marco couldn't help but smile.
"Old Man's body has a solution!"
Ace watched Marco fly away in a hurry. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words - let Marco stay and defeat all his people? That's not right either...
"Forget it..."
Ace tilted his head and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he had to give up:
"Send the order and return to the base. Thunder God Island Let's go another day..."
"This time, I gained a lot, and I will be stronger next time!"
"Yes! Major Ace!"
"World Meeting just ended, Whitebeard Pirates started attacking warships frequently?!"
Rosinante frowned and looked at the report in his hand.
World Meeting ended successfully, and the official migration of Fish-Man Island was approved at the meeting. Next, Admiral Wright will be responsible for the security work during the early migration period.
Smoker returned to G-5 Branch to take charge, but had to personally deal with Whitebeard Pirates who began to move frequently.
"Most of the time when supplies are plundered, the losses of the sailors are very small... but judging from the scale of the powerful men who appeared, it seems that looting supplies from warships is a bit of a fuss."
"What special supplies are there on the warships that make them worthy of such a big fanfare? Good guy, at least two Division Commanders are dispatched together at one time, and they also specifically select warships without strong generals."
Rosinante was flipping through the information, and suddenly his hand stopped, sweat broke out on his forehead, and a not-so-splendid idea appeared in his mind.
"They... could they be doing it for Lightforged Crystal?!"
Lightforged Crystal was robbed from time to time in the past, but due to the publicity of Marines, almost no pirates were willing to crush this life-saving material to see what effect it had.
But it has been so long, and it is Whitebeard Pirates who is madly looting warships. I think of what Wright once lamented:
"Whitebeard If his health hadn't been so bad and G-5 Branch was so active, he might have come to teach me a lesson himself, right?"
Whitebeard's body is not as good as before?
Although I don't know where Wright got the news, it is an indisputable fact that Whitebeard rarely takes action on his own recently, and Golden City also received orders from Whitebeard Pirates to purchase Germa's medical equipment and drugs.
Germa's medical technology should not have much effect on Whitebeard. After all, it is only a conventional type. Whitebeard, or Whitebeard Pirates, cannot allow Whitebeard to be deeply treated by other forces.
In other words, Whitebeard's physical condition is not much better.
But if they discover what Lightforged Crystal does...
Rosinante did not dare to neglect, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to count the reserves of Lightforged Crystal on the plundered warship.
Soon, the results came out. Rosinante looked at the statistics and felt a shadow cast over his heart.
136 pieces!
As a strategic material, Lightforged Crystal is rationed to each warship, but G-5 Branch is a bit special, because the pressure of fighting New World pirates is high, so the ration is generally sufficient.
Except for Dawn, the regular ration for each warship reaches more than one hundred - while on other warships, this number is fifty!
Although Wright is very efficient in making Lightforged Crystal, there are so many people and warships in Marines that the sailors cannot have one per man and can only be provided by the ship's doctor when they are seriously injured!
Even so, it has greatly increased the survival rate of the sailors. At critical moments, the officers can also use their own crystals to rescue them.
Several warships that were plundered had some of the Lightforged Crystal stored in them, so only a hundred or so Whitebeard Pirates were obtained.
But if all of the more than a hundred Lightforged Crystal were crushed to heal Whitebeard...
Rosinante shuddered and quickly dialed Den Den Mushi of Wright.
"..."
Wright listened silently to Rosinante's report. At this time, he was sailing towards Calm Belt on the Ryugu Kingdom's flagship, Ryugu Ship.
"Have you finally been discovered...?"
Wright pinched his eyebrows. This amount of Lightforged Crystal, with Whitebeard's terrifying physical foundation, would be able to restore him to at least 70% to 80% recovery, not to mention completely curing him.
The rest, Flames of Rebirth of Marco, combined with other Medical Technology, can restore Whitebeard to about 90% - which for Whitebeard is basically equivalent to its heyday!
Whitebeard Pirates had heard about Dawn's magical power before, and he only thought it was Wright's ability that was at work. Although he had ideas, he didn't act rashly.
But something like Lightforged Crystal, which can be separated from Wright and still have a healing effect, is too easy to get with their power - they just didn't know how to use it before!
"It seems that the new branch plan has to be accelerated, otherwise old man Whitebeard might have been holding back for so many years and something might have happened."
Lightforged Crystal cannot be disabled. It would be a self-destructive thing, but perhaps some changes can be made to avoid the superimposed effect of concentrated use. It is originally used to save lives.
Having made up his mind, Wright dialed Den Den Mushi of Sengoku:
"Old Man Sengoku, there is bad news..."
Marineford, Sengoku were walking back and forth in the office, and the news from Wright was really hard to ignore.
"Whitebeard's physical condition, I always thought it was an exaggeration. Now it seems that it is indeed the case... It's a pity that we didn't discover it in advance."
"No... rather, even if it is discovered, it will not help. A legendary pirate like Whitebeard, even if he is really old and frail and suffering from illness... no one will dare to provoke him until he truly shows his decline!"
"Furthermore, Whitebeard calls the sea their home, and there is no base camp that cannot be lost. Even Marines cannot concentrate its forces to deal with them..."
Stopping, Sengoku grabbed the tea cup, took a sip, and let out a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately, Marines has more Wright, and over Shichibukai there are Enel, and Fish-Man Island!"
"If Fish-Man and Merfolk can join Marines, Marines's maritime combat capabilities are bound to grow by leaps and bounds! Even according to According to the agreement given by Wright, Fish-Man and Mermaid do not have to take action against Whitebeard. It is enough to suppress ordinary pirates!"
"No matter how strong Whitebeard is, he is only one person! If we keep suppressing the other three "Four Emperors", we can allocate manpower to deal with Whitebeard!"
"And... now Marines has an unparalleled war advantage - Float-Float Fruit of Kuina!"
"Although that guy Shiki is arrogant, I still remember how strong his Flying Pirates is..."
"What a blessing. Float-Float Fruit actually belongs to Marines. That guy Shiki has done two good things!"
