Answering the Challenge, Heading to Wano Country
Upon hearing Kaido's declaration of war, Luo Wen was not afraid at all; in fact, he almost laughed.
He didn't go to fight in Wano Country before simply because he was too busy, not because he was afraid of Kaido.
Now that Kaido has taken the initiative to declare war, he'll have to spare some time to deal with it.
Wano Country is a country rich in precious mineral resources, especially Seastone.
Although the outside world was shrouded in thunderclouds, storms, and steep cliffs, making it difficult to enter and exit, forcibly breaking through them was not a difficult task for Luo Wen.
Furthermore, Luo Wen is quite envious of Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form.
If you activate A-rank Riding when Kaido transforms into Azure Dragon, you can obtain an Azure Dragon as your mount.
Although riding can only control one beast, Kaido, Four Emperors- level figure, deserves this position.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to ride Kaido to the Paramount War?
After thinking for a moment, Luo Wen decided to discuss the plan with everyone and then set off immediately.
Luo Wen strode into the hall and saw the women discussing Kaido's declaration of war.
"Kaido actually declared war at this time, he's a complete madman!"
"Is he brainless? The Navy is already attacking the King of the Pirates's son, and he wants to fight us first!?"
"How dare he! Doesn't he know that we have three Admiral or higher-ranking officers on our side, and five or Shichibukai?"
The women thought Kaido was insane and started making sarcastic remarks.
The Navy's public execution of the King of the Pirates's bloodline is clearly intended to intimidate all pirates. At this point, if anyone wants to fight, it should be the Navy.
Wouldn't it be better to wait two weeks, rather than fight the Navy, and then Whitebeard Pirates's territory?
Why insist on declaring war on them? They now possess three Admiral -level fighters— Luo Wen, Zephyr, and Gion— along with two Shichibukai, Moria and Boa Hancock, and over a dozen elite Vice Admiral, including Nami and Robin.
This configuration is by no means a pushover.
"Given his hot-blooded, reckless nature, it's not surprising he makes any decisions," Luo Wen said, approaching the women. "If he wants to fight, let him fight. We'll deal with him sooner or later anyway."
Determined to become the ultimate producer of the pirate world and control all its wealth, he is destined to be an enemy of most forces.
The Beasts Pirates are someone he'll have to deal with sooner or later.
When the women saw Luo Wen arrive, they immediately surrounded him and started discussing.
"A fight is inevitable, but the Beasts Pirates are, after all, a Four Emperors- level force, and even the World Government cannot easily subdue them."
Robin calmly analyzed the situation.
Luo Wen's side is no pushover, and neither is the Beasts Pirates.
As one of the world's top pirate crews, the Beasts Pirates' power is undeniable.
"Robin is right. I'm a little worried. If we go to war with the Beasts Pirates, the losses could be huge, and all our previous efforts could be wasted."
Gion said, frowning.
After Zephyr turned naval commanders like Hōshō to the enemy side, the Neo Marines is recruiting new members and is developing rapidly.
Fighting Kaido at this point would undoubtedly wipe out any previous advantages.
Especially since the Neo Marines stands on the opposite side of both the World Government and the pirates, every bit of the Neo Marines's strength is extremely precious and cannot be lost.
"How could that be? Taking down Kaido won't be a big loss. I'll just take a few people to Wano Country."
Luo Wen looked at the women and said calmly.
"The Beasts Pirates are, after all, Four Emperors crew. Besides Kaido, they also have Three All-Stars and the Flying Six, plus hundreds of Gifters under their command..."
The Gion wasn't finished, but the meaning was already conveyed.
There are so many people; it's not something that Luo Wen can handle with just a few men.
"Have you forgotten my Reality Marble?"
Luo Wen asked with a smile.
Gion paused, then asked uncertainly, "That Hall of Heroes?"
If I remember correctly, the Hall of Heroes only seems to have the function of modifying Heroic Spirit.
The effect was indeed phenomenal, but it didn't provide immediate combat power.
"It's the Loser's Kingdom beneath Hall of Heroes," Luo Wen corrected. "Everyone I've defeated has a projection of them inside. Even with only 30% of their strength, it's enough to deal with Kaido's subordinates."
"Oh, that's the one!"
The women Satori.
The Hall of Heroes' influence was so deeply ingrained that they didn't immediately recall the existence of the Loser's Kingdom.
That day, they were pulled into the Reality Marble, and the first thing they saw was a desolate and vast battlefield, littered with all kinds of white bones.
Each skeleton is a projection of a defeated opponent of Luo Wen.
Crocodile, Enel, the Three Admirals of the Navy, Garp, Monkey D. Dragon...
Even 30% of their fighting strength would be enough to wipe out the high-end combat force of the Beasts Pirates below Kaido.
There were also tens of thousands of projections from other small pirate crews, and the minions of the Beasts Pirates were also dealt with.
It can be said that Luo Wen is a legion in himself, capable of leading the battle of an entire army group.
"Now I should be able to go to Wano Country and wipe out the Beasts Pirates without any problems, right?"
Luo Wen spread his hands and said with a smile.
In fact, he could conquer the Wano Country himself; bringing others along was merely to facilitate the collection of spoils of war.
"No problem."
All the women nodded in unison.
"This time, I'll only bring Nojiko. For the Neo Marines, I'll have Momonga and a squad of mid-level officers led by Hōshō accompany me. The rest of my men will take Moria's ship."
Luo Wen immediately made arrangements.
Nojiko possessed the Float-Float Fruit, which allowed them to quickly reach Wano Country.
Bringing Ain and a squad of mid-level officers was to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Moria is now the Impel Down, so taking him there would be perfect for him to handle the prisoners and, incidentally, fulfill his promise to help him defeat Kaido.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of sending these people along wasn't to fight, but to take over Wano Country.
"What about us? We also want to do our part!"
Nami, Vivi, and the other girls looked at Luo Wen pleadingly.
They are now at the level of elite Vice Admiral, and possess the fearless constitution of Heroic Spirit Body, enabling them to fight alongside Luo Wen.
"You and Gion will stay in Dressrosa, ready to send reinforcements to Wano Country at any time." Luo Wen paused, then joked, "After all, I only need to fight up front; you logistics personnel have a lot more to consider."
He didn't plan to bring too many women, after all, he was going to fight Kaido, and he couldn't disrespect his Kaido.
Perhaps Kaido, seeing his sincerity, will give Yamato to him?
Dressrosa, as his stronghold, also needs people. The strength of the two Admiral, Gion and Zephyr, plus Nami, Boa Hancock, and the other girls, should be enough.
"How annoying! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Nami and the other girls from Gion rolled their eyes, provoked by Luo Wen's outburst.
Since Luo Wen has made it clear that they are not allowed to go, then they can stay and guard the rear.
With all plans finalized, Luo Wen led the group to prepare for departure.
There were three ships in total: one each for Luo Wen, Nojiko, Ain, and Hina; one for Moria and his men; and one for Momonga, Hōshō, and the Neo Marines officers.
The plan included two more women, Ain and Hina. Hina was to serve as Luo Wen's secretary, communicating with the Neo Marines, while Ain was pestering Luo Wen to fulfill his duties as the captain of the Royal Guard.
May your military fortunes prosper!
As they were about to depart, the women offered their heartfelt blessings to Luo Wen.
"Rest assured, this mission will succeed."
Luo Wen patted his chest, brimming with confidence.
Then, with the power of Nojiko -Float-Float Fruit, the three ships took to the sky and sped towards Wano Country.
