"When it's time to act, I'll have nothing holding me back."
Sengoku nodded and warned him, "Borsalino, make sure you complete your mission."
"We've gone to enormous lengths to set this trap..."
"You must eliminate Chris and his Pirate Crew!"
"As for the other Shichibukai, I doubt they'd dare turn against us!"
"I'm sure they understand what's at stake."
Staff Officer Tsuru straightened her cloak and said quietly, "This incident has made one thing clear..."
"Chris's influence has grown beyond anything we imagined."
"We can no longer ignore the threat he poses."
"If we fail to eliminate Chris this time, it will be a disaster for the entire Navy and the World Government!"
"From then on, we may have to be ready at any moment for retaliation from the Chris Pirates!"
Staff Officer Tsuru had dealt with countless pirates over the years.
She knew exactly how fiercely they held grudges.
And Chris was far more powerful than most.
There was no chance he would let this go.
If Chris retaliated against the Navy, the blow could be devastating!
Borsalino pursed his lips. "Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to complete the mission."
With that, Sengoku and Borsalino ended the call.
Borsalino set down the Den Den Mushi, shook his head, and murmured, "They only realized all this after Chris grew so powerful."
"Even if I give it everything I've got, I might not be able to take him down!"
"But that's not my problem..."
"Once this is over, whatever the outcome, I'm taking my two-year vacation!"
Borsalino did not care what the Chris Pirates might do to the Navy or the World Government in the future.
By then, he would be well out of it!
Meanwhile, a massive pirate ship suddenly appeared in the waters near the Pudora
