Kaido of the Beasts' Threat, Madara Uchiha's Question
"In addition, all the Four Emperors' forces in the New World have already received word of this."
Kaido's various armies have all retreated, temporarily abandoning the conquest of some outlying territories;
The Big Mom Pirates are focusing on guarding their territory on Whole Cake Island, and have slowed down their pace of expansion.
Both of the two Emperor Level powers are observing the standoff between the navy and our race.
Yes, the Four Emperors have been entrenched in the New World for many years, and their minds are incredibly clear.
The Navy's wariness of the Uchiha and its deliberate avoidance of battle, seemingly a passive defense by the old order, is actually a strategy to wait until its own strength is sufficient before launching a counterattack.
The Four Emperors remained inactive, waiting for both sides to wear each other down until they were both severely weakened, at which point they would seize the greatest advantage.
Izuna Uchiha nodded slightly and continued the conversation, his eyes revealing a clarity born of years of turmoil. "Eight hundred years of rule cannot be shaken overnight."
The fact that the Five Elders are willing to bow their heads and endure, and refrain from taking the initiative to confront us, precisely shows that they have already regarded us as true equals. Every step they take from here on out will be exceptionally cautious and ruthless.
"In the Battle of Coral Port, the new generation of pilots made their first real combat mission at sea and successfully completed the task. Although there were mistakes, they dared to take responsibility and remained calm in the face of danger, proving that they are capable of standing alone."
"The reason for gathering everyone tonight is to finalize the training plan for the new generation and our clan's next step in expanding our maritime territory."
"In my opinion, the younger generation should not rush to high-risk battlefields again."
Chunwu, Rin, and the other children have very clear weaknesses: Chakra control, Haki hardness, and perception all need systematic refinement.
Rather than letting them fumble their way through the chaos, it would be better to send them back to the island for intensive training to address their weaknesses.
A brief silence fell over the hall. Both lines of thought had their merits, but each also required its own considerations.
"Special training never stops, and real combat never ends. There's no need to choose one over the other."
"In the first half of the Grand Line, we need to gradually establish covert outposts."
"Keep a low profile, avoid occupying land, and avoid direct conflict with naval forces; focus solely on intelligence gathering, personnel rest, and resource transfer."
The navy is desperately expanding its forces and setting up defenses, attempting to halt the Uchiha's expansion.
They then avoided direct confrontation and infiltrated silently, without clashing or conflict, gradually establishing themselves in the gaps of the opponent's defenses.
Izuna Uchiha nodded slightly, a hint of sharpness in his gentle eyes. "I will dismantle and correct the fighting habits of the new generation one by one."
These children are resilient and courageous; once they address their weaknesses, they will become the backbone of the community within six months.
"Qi is conducting operations independently, using both Yaoyu and the Yakumi to gather intelligence."
I will personally take action to stabilize the entire territory of the West Blue and completely cut off any possibility of the New World's forces infiltrating westward.
Internally, we are honing the fighting power of the new generation and consolidating the foundation of our community.
Externally, it secretly infiltrated the first half of the sea area, quietly establishing a foothold and laying its groundwork;
On the front lines, the strong guard the territory, maintain a degree of sway and containment, and stabilize the overall situation.
"Execute this deployment accordingly."
The flickering lamplight illuminated the serene eyes of the top Uchiha members.
The night wind outside the window grew increasingly fierce, penetrating the vermilion beams and pillars of the shrine, stirring up the cool night air outside the hall, and carrying with it the undercurrents and storms hidden in the sea, which surged heavily into the hall.
In the solemn silence, Uchiha Setsuna was the first to break the silence, a hint of genuine worry on his brow.
"Young Master Natsu, there's something that's been bothering me."
He bowed slightly, his tone cautious. "In the battle of Coral Port, Chunwu and his new generation faced Jack the Drought head-on. Although Elder Qi intervened to clean up the mess and successfully defeated the powerful enemy, saving everyone's lives, this battle has also completely pushed our relationship with the Beasts Pirates to a freezing point."
"Elder's strength is more than enough to overpower Yonko Commander, but if he were to face Kaido of the Beasts —the powerful figure who firmly holds the position of the Emperor of the Sea —he would ultimately lack the confidence to do so."
"Should we issue an order for Elder Qi to immediately lead a team to escort Chunwu and the rest of the group back to the island? Let's avoid the Beasts Pirates ' attack for now and play it safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became slightly heavy.
Natsu lightly touched her chin with her fingertips, her eyes flickered slightly, and she briefly fell into thought.
Setsuna's concern was not unreasonable; Kaido's fearsome reputation spanned the New World and was never undeserved.
Before he could answer, Madara, who was sitting quietly to the side, had already seen through his inner thoughts. A faint fighting spirit flashed in his dark eyes, and he spoke calmly.
"Kaido of the Beasts? Very strong?"
These five simple words convey no fear, no probing, only the indifference and scrutiny of a top expert looking down upon all living beings.
Natsu raised her eyes, slowly gathered her thoughts, and answered frankly.
"You could be considered top-tier combat power in this sea. You're roughly on par with the period right after you transplanted Izuna Uchiha- senpai's eyes and awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, firmly placing you in the first tier below the King-Class."
Although he had never personally fought Kaido, he had already thoroughly grasped the opponent's strength level by combining the intelligence on the combat power of this sea with his knowledge from his previous life.
Among the veteran Four Emperors, Kaido's raw strength is second only to the unfathomable Red-Haired Shanks.
As for Whitebeard, who has now experienced a second spring and regained his peak strength by relying on Hashirama Cells, his combat power has already firmly surpassed Kaido's.
If we were to remove the cellular enhancements and only consider Whitebeard in his old age, he would likely be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with Kaido.
The ultimate refinement of Three Types of Haki, the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits that combines offense and defense, coupled with an innate powerful physique and Tenten, have created the formidable and ferocious power of this Strongest Creature on land, sea, and air.
Without a doubt, he is currently the pinnacle of the Admiral-Yonko Level level.
However, this domineering power, in Natsu's eyes now, is ultimately limited.
He had already firmly entered the Six Paths Level level, and in the entire One Piece World, apart from Imu was hiding deep in Mary Geoise, no one else could become his opponent.
Even Iron Fist Garp whose Haki presence is unparalleled in the Four Blues, is nothing more than a slightly larger ant to him.
Kaido is nothing to mention.
Let alone facing Madara, who has now undergone Gene Serum, unlocked multiple attributes, and reached the peak of both physique and combat power, even if he faced Madara back when he had just awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Kaido would only suffer repeated defeats and be hampered.
The blemishes I have now are far beyond what they used to be.
Aside from lacking the exclusive ability of the Six Paths Level Yin–Yang Release and being unable to step into the true Six Paths realm, he is already the number one person below the Six Paths.
Even compared to Hashirama Senju his peak, Madara is still superior.
If he were to awaken the Rinnegan or learn Senjutsu in the future, the Uchiha Clan would gain another true Six Paths Level Supreme in addition to him.
