Battle of Long-Held Wishes (6)

Floating Fortress, Command Center.

"Beckman..."

Watching the man's carefree departing figure, Berg, who had been staring at the screen for quite some time, wore an equally vivid expression... He had never expected one of Big Mom's "Sweet Commanders" to be defeated so quickly.

The moment Fitch risked his life to send back the information, Colin had assigned him the task of dealing with Cracker... Although the Red Hair Pirates had barged in, he had stayed behind to observe the battle between the two.

After all, the information Fitch had sent back in the past was already very detailed when it came to Cracker... On his own, he was an army. If those biscuit soldiers of his were allowed onto the battlefield, they would be fully capable of influencing the course of the war.
