The World Government and Affiliated Nation gathered in Mary Geoise for a meeting.
The Sky Empire in the New World appears to be making no major moves, but in reality, it has launched the " Passage Plan."
Shiki personally took action, secretly appearing in the Calm Belt on the North Blue side. In less than five days, he moved hundreds of uninhabited islands within this Calm Belt.
Furthermore, Noah also sent Vic to help.
Vic, who secretly appeared in the Calm Belt the North Blue, quickly formed two huge mid-ocean ridges along the planned route by constantly adjusting the seabed rock layers.
These two man-made sea ridges are less than 100 meters from the sea surface, with a width of about 100 kilometers at the top, and a 100-kilometer-wide valley in between.
Shiki then gradually placed the relocated islands on the ridge, forming a chain of island fortresses.
To prevent Sea Kings from attacking the North Blue Calm Belt, and also as a precaution, a large number of highly poisonous corals, seaweeds, mangroves, and Stomach Baron were transplanted onto the seabed on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge.
These highly venomous creatures extend nearly 100 kilometers in width to both sides, forming an artificial biological barrier.
The surrounding Sea Kings had clearly also noticed the mutation in the area, but they were powerless to do anything about it. Before the sea kings Awakening, these Sea Kings relied on their biological instincts to operate, so they chose to stay away from the highly toxic sea to avoid harm.
In less than a month.
A safe passage connecting the New World and the North Blue appeared in the Calm Belt.
The population and military strength of the Paradise Governorate, which was previously incorporated into the Sky Empire, were deployed in the North Blue Passage. At the same time, some of the approved population from other provinces were relocated to the islands in the passage in family units.
Even though almost a month has passed, no external force has noticed the sudden change in the Calm Belt over the North Blue.
This is actually quite normal.
This is because the North Blue Passage is located in the middle of the Calm Belt of the North Blue.
On the New World side, facing the seas controlled by the Sky Empire, both the Navy and the World Government's special vessels avoided that section of the Calm Belt.
On the North Blue side, although the navy has set up more than a dozen reconnaissance stations nearby, these stations are all located on islands in the North Blue, with the closest station to the Calm Belt being more than 20 kilometers away.
This distance clearly prevented the navy from detecting sudden changes deep within the Calm Belt in a timely manner.
In addition, Shiki did not deploy island fortresses in the final section of the passage. The island fortress closest to the North Blue is still about 100 kilometers away from the Calm Belt and the North Blue boundary.
Ordinary Observation Haki is insufficient to sense situations more than 100 kilometers away.
At the North Blue reconnaissance station, the Navy only assigned a rear Rear Admiral from the headquarters to be in charge, and even the strongest rear Rear Admiral can't be that much stronger.
However, this concealment won't last long.
Because the Sky Empire is about to expand into the North Blue, it will be impossible to keep it a secret then.
Therefore, at this stage, Shiki, Vic, and others are still working on improving the defense system for the entire North Blue Passage.
After all, powerful individuals in this world possess terrifying destructive power. For example, among the Three Admirals of the Navy, Borsalino and Sakazuki both possess extremely terrifying large-scale destructive capabilities.
Especially Borsalino; if the opponent is determined to wage guerrilla warfare, even the Sky Empire will not be able to withstand their harassment.
This is one of the reasons why Noah chose to hide a portion of his power; he was worried that the World Government would resort to desperate measures and send Borsalino to continuously attack the Sky Empire.
Borsalino has become a key target for the Liberator Organization in the next phase of their operation, as his existence has seriously threatened the security of both the Liberator Organization and the Kingdom of Dawn.
In response to the possibility of Borsalino attacking the Sky Empire, Noah reorganized a portion of his Apostle.
Currently, among Noah's Major Arcana Apostle, only six— Shiki, Blazing Sun, the Hermit, Black Maria, the Judgment, and the Fool— serve in the Sky Empire.
Only five Apostle— Kaido, Gairam, Kuma, Doria, and Shiru— can be mobilized.
However, Kaido definitely cannot appear in the Sky Empire at this stage, and the same goes for Kuma. His Devil Fruit ability has always been used by Noah, so it is not suitable for him to appear in the Sky Empire.
Therefore, the Apostle sent to support the Sky Empire this time were Doria, Shiru, and Gairam.
Since Doria had already defected from the Shichibukai, he needed a powerful patron to protect him, and the Sky Empire was a perfect fit.
Of the remaining Apostle...
Barton, Musshuru, and Caesar were stationed in the East Blue Governorate.
Bege Yamato are permanent residents of the West Blue Governorate.
Kaido, King, and Kuma reside permanently in the Moon Governorate.
In addition to Ray, Penguin, Alber, and others as the Strategic Support Squad, and Noah, Joshua, Vic, and Ichisei as the general insurers.
This basically ensures that the organization has sufficient resources to respond to emergencies.
If we consider the combat strength at the Admiral level, the Liberator Organization has a considerable number of combat troops on paper.
Among them are two Admiral, Noah and the Fool.
There are nine generals at the Admiral level: Joshua, Lilian, Vic, Robin, Shiki, Kaido, Ichisei, Judgment, Monet.
There are 14 individuals at the Admiral Candidate level: Kuro, Lilith, Ray, Enel, Wyper, Barton, Blazing Sun, Hermit, Yamato, Jin, Musshuru, Caesar, Kuma, and Gairam.
There are as many as 25 of these high-level combatants.
As for the World Government, they have 8 Marines, 2 Impel Down, the Five Elders, CP0, the Holy Knights, the Army and Air Force, and Imu, who is hiding behind the scenes. In total, they should have more than 30 high-level combatants.
Such tactics of launching surprise attacks and defeating enemies one by one can only be used occasionally.
If they intervene too frequently, the World Government will certainly not fall for it and will instead concentrate its efforts on core areas such as Mary Geoise and Marineford.
Noah's guess was correct.
Following the battle at Lulusia, the World Government secretly convened a high-level internal meeting before holding the Reverie.
To avoid a repeat of the passive situation that occurred with Lulusia.
Among the Five Elders, Saint Mars, who can fly at high speed, and Saint Saturn, who can Teleportation, personally formed a rapid support team.
This rapid support team, consisting of Saint Saturn, Saint Mars, Borsalino, and three CP0 members with flight capabilities, is on standby.
At the same time, Chief of Staff He also took the lead in formulating a series of emergency plans.
Obviously, the World Government isn't stupid. They suffered such a huge loss in the Lulusia incident, so they will definitely learn their lesson.
Therefore, Noah did not continue his plan to attack the Navy or the World Government.
His next task is to stir up trouble among the Affiliated Nation, gradually eliminating the World Government's Affiliated Nation while continuing to build up the organization's overall strength.
Noah will only consider launching a decisive battle against the World Government after he has more than 30 high-level combatants.
The reason for such caution is that they do not want to suffer a mutually destructive outcome with the World Government, allowing other forces to reap the benefits.
After all, throughout history, there have been too many rebellious forces that have led the way for kings.
