In the conference room, everyone was shocked by Luo Wen's boastful tone.
Their opening statement was to take over the entire North Blue, nearly a quarter of the world's territory.
However, considering Luo Wen's power and the current strength of the Neo Marines, taking over a quarter of the North Blue doesn't seem surprising.
Gion spoke first, "If we're going to attack the North Blue, besides the already routed navy there, the only thing we need to be wary of is the Vinsmoke Family."
"The Vinsmoke Family was once a royal family that swept across the North Blue. Their android army was powerful and equipped with very sophisticated weaponry. They were a force that even the World Government and the Navy feared, possessing no fixed territory yet having the right to participate in the Reverie."
Gion gave a brief overview of the Vinsmoke Family, but didn't seem to care much.
Is the Vinsmoke Family very powerful? They have several Admiral!
Compared to the current strength of the Neo Marines, it's far inferior.
"Gion's assessment is correct," Luo Wen nodded. "Compared to the other seas, the North Blue is the closest to us and the strongest, making it the perfect first battlefield to establish our authority."
"However, I won't personally deal with the small North Blue; I'll leave it to you to test your mettle."
"To be honest, the Neo Marines has been established for a long time, but it has never fought a decent battle. This time, your actions will allow me to see its true strength."
As he spoke, Luo Wen himself laughed.
Before him stood six Admiral, and fifty vice admirals under his Vice Admiral, not to mention the powerful pirates who had been transformed into Heroic Spirit.
It's worth mentioning that when the Paramount War ended, he didn't forget to collect the souls of Whitebeard, Ace, and the other Whitebeard Pirates commanders and transform them into Heroic Spirit.
There was even an unexpected bonus: the Heroic Spirit Roger, summoned using Ace as the catalyst.
Even without considering all of them combined, they could easily take on the World Government.
"Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen, rest assured, we guarantee that North Blue will be fine in your hands!"
Whether it's Gion, Zephyr, or the newly joined Sengoku and Aokiji, they're all sharpening their swords, eager to show off their skills.
Gion and Zephyr were eager to win a battle so they could prove their abilities to Luo Wen.
Sengoku, Aokiji, and the others wanted to give Luo Wen a token of their loyalty, so that the Neo Marines could gain a foothold.
"Very good, very spirited!" Luo Wen said with satisfaction. "Then, the plan to swallow the North Blue will proceed simultaneously with the World Military Draft. Now, please discuss the detailed plan yourselves."
After saying that, Luo Wen turned and left.
Before leaving, Luo Wen seemed to remember something and left with the words, "Regarding the 256 Devil Fruit I brought back this time, a portion will be used as rewards for those who performed exceptionally well. Of course, the Devil Fruit won't be free; Devil Fruit market value will be deducted from everyone's salary monthly."
He was naturally referring to those high-ranking officers who had performed well.
Now that there are so many Devil Fruits, it's natural to use them; otherwise, it's the same as not having any at all.
Of course, the best dozen or Devil Fruit should be kept in hand until they meet the right person.
"What! Devil Fruit as a reward!"
These words caused an uproar among the generals.
They knew that Luo Wen had brought back a large number of Devil Fruit, because Luo Wen had no intention of hiding them.
When Luo Wen said he would offer Devil Fruit as a reward, they naturally believed him.
That's Devil Fruit, a treasure coveted by everyone on the high seas. If you got one, you'd be set for life.
Even if you pay in installments with your salary, it's still well worth it.
You won't have the chance to buy it anywhere else!
Devil Fruit are powerful things!
Meanwhile, Luo Wen had completely left the conference room, which then became even more lively.
"Gion, let me handle this mission in the North Blue!" Zephyr said with burning eyes. "I haven't done anything for years, it's a good opportunity to take my disciples out for some action!"
He naturally had his own selfish motives; besides performing well, he also wanted to give his disciples more opportunities to obtain Devil Fruit.
Those are Devil Fruit! He's hunted down many Devil Fruit user pirates, so he naturally knows how powerful Devil Fruit are.
It can turn a weak person into a strong person, and it can also make a strong person even stronger.
"Let me go to Gion and the North Blue!" Sengoku chimed in, eager to take on the mission. "We've just joined the Neo Marines, we need to set an example."
"Yes, we need to do something."
Aokiji crossed his arms and said in a deep voice.
They must perform well in this mission.
They didn't need Devil Fruit, but the Vice Admiral who came with him did.
After Luo Wen's rampage at Marineford, a large number of Dove Faction Vice Admiral defected to him.
If Zephyr and his group do all the work this time, the Vice Admiral term.
"Gion, count me in this time! I feel I can't waste the salary Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen is paying me; I have to do something."
Kizaru adjusted his glasses, unusually showing interest in going on a mission.
It's really not acceptable to slack off as soon as you arrive.
As a professional pay thief, he naturally knew that he could only steal more effectively once he had a firm foothold.
"Count me in!"
Garp also made a sound.
There's nothing else to it; his grandson and apprentice died, and he needed to vent his anger.
For a time, everyone was scrambling to get the mission in North Blue, determined to succeed.
"What should we do?"
Gion couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
She herself wanted to go; she hadn't tried the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that Luo Wen had given her yet.
Logically speaking, sending an Admiral to North Blue would be a waste.
With so many people together, it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
However, it seems that Luo Wen said this was just to demonstrate the strength of the Neo Marines, so sending a couple more shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Ahem!" Gion immediately made a decision. "How about this, I, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp, and Admiral Kizaru will go together, along with five elite vice Vice Admiral who need Devil Fruit, thirty ordinary Vice Admiral, and thirty thousand soldiers, how about that?"
"Hiss!"
"Oh My God!"
Is it really possible?
In the conference room, everyone sighed in amazement.
This number of people is practically the permanent force of the Marine Headquarters.
To attack North Blue? To wipe out North Blue entirely?!
Thank you all for your support. I took a day off yesterday to brainstorm the next part of the plot. Do you think it's better to go to the Holy Grail War or to join the pirates who invade parallel worlds?
