Holy Land Mary Geoise

"Sengoku, are you saying that after attacking Enies Lobby, Escanor will launch an offensive against Holy Land Mary Geoise as well?" Tsuru's bark-like cheeks furrowed as she said, "You should know very well that Mary Geoise is no ordinary place."

"If you rashly mobilize the Navy fleet to blockade the sea routes, you'll likely provoke the Celestial Dragons' dissatisfaction."

"Besides, this is all your deduction. Are you prepared to bear the consequences if your decision is wrong?"

As the Navy's chief strategist, Tsuru was Marineford's second great think tank.

Now that Sengoku had rashly made a decision based on speculation, she had a duty to remind him.

"Tsuru, you're still the same as ever!" Garp rolled his eyes. "Has Sengoku done this sort of thing any less before?"

"As the Navy, as long as there's even the slightest lead, we absolutely cannot simply give up. Whether that guy attacks or not, we still have to go take a look."

"Hmph, Sengoku has certainly done plenty of such things. Haven't I cleaned up after you every single time?" Tsuru shot him a glare.

"Still, before we take action, we should notify the Five Elders first. It wouldn't be good if they caught us on this."

Faced with Tsuru's suggestion, Sengoku nodded in agreement and grabbed the Transponder Snail on the desk.

Meanwhile, on the Red Line, at Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Inside the palace where the Five Elders resided.

Five imposing figures sat within.

Looking at the Transponder Snail on the desk after the call had ended, the monk in a kimono with a bald head fell silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Alright, let's leave the matter of Enies Lobby at that for now. Next, we should discuss whether to bring up the final candidate to fill Crocodile's position."
