Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku, Tsuru, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Black Horse, the head of the Intelligence Section, and others all looked extremely grim as they watched the brutal battle unfold on the live stream.
"Almost all of the Shichibukai have betrayed us! These damned scum of the sea!" Sengoku was furious, and at the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Five Elders, but he couldn't vent his anger.
Looking at the situation before him, Tsuru could only sigh bitterly, "It's too late. Even if we go to the nearest Gion, which can reach the Dressrosa Kingdom, it won't make a difference!"
"Could we fight and retreat at the same time?" Kurouma suggested.
"No, the enemy has too many experts. They won't let us retreat safely unless someone has a spatial ability..." Crane shook his head.
Suddenly, there was a series of urgent knocks at the door. "Report!"
"Come in!" Sengoku said wearily.
The door was pushed open, and several Rear Admiral generals from the Intelligence Section rushed in with anxious expressions.
North Blue.
The northeastern sea area, which is backed by the Mary Geoise section of the Red Line.
The central area of this sea area is the headquarters of the North Blue Navy – Base 400.
Inside Base 400, the North Blue naval officers who had been summoned there under the pretext of attacking the Sky Empire were also watching the live broadcast.
Seeing the rapidly deteriorating situation on the World Government's side, the naval officers present had various expressions.
Some people were extremely anxious.
Some remained calm and composed.
Some people were restless.
People were whispering among themselves.
A life with pale eyes, yet he could perceive everyone's expressions perfectly through his Observation Haki.
He slowly began, "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on the Battle of Dressrosa?"
" Admiral Excellency, we should take the initiative to attack the Sky Empire and relieve the pressure on the Dressrosa campaign," a Vice Admiral quickly stated his idea.
"What about the others?" Yisheng continued to look at the others.
" Admiral, your abilities should allow you to reach Dressrosa quickly. Why don't we concentrate our elite forces and head to the New World G1..."
" Tetsuri, are you crazy? How many elite troops do we have in the North Blue combined? Didn't you see how those Rear Admiral and ordinary Vice Admiral had no impact on the overall situation during the Battle of Dressrosa? Are you going to send them to their deaths now?"
Yi Sheng looked at Vice Admiral Vice Admiral White Snake, " White Snake, what are your thoughts?"
Vice Admiral White Snake's eyes were filled with malice. " Admiral Excellency, I believe that attacking the Sky Empire is a better plan. It might force the Liberator Organization to return to its aid. After all, there are still a large number of civilians on many islands surrounding the Sky Empire. I don't believe the Liberator Organization would disregard the lives of these civilians."
That makes sense.
"It seems that you and I share the same view, Admiral..."
Pfft!
Before Vice Admiral White Snake could finish speaking, his head rolled to the ground.
His rolling head held an incredulous, unseeing look of death.
Pfft! Pfft!
More than half of the naval officers present were brutally killed by the sailors around them.
Blood flowed like a river at the scene.
"Cough cough... Why..." A resilient Vice Admiral clutched his bleeding chest, looking at Yisheng with a pale face.
He said coldly, "Why? Keating Vice Admiral Keating, you must have a bad memory. Let me help you recall! Do you remember the Angola Kingdom?"
"You..." Kien Vice Admiral's eyes widened. "Ahem... who exactly are you?"
" The Celestial Dragons destroyed the entire Angola Kingdom 15 years ago, and you were involved."
"I see... cough cough, you... are you from the Liberator Organization..." Kien's eyes gradually lost their luster.
The reason these officers were so easily ambushed was that they had just eaten the food at the base, all of which had been laced with a special compound poison.
As long as they inhale the pre-prepared aromatherapy in this hall, it will stimulate the drugs in their bodies, thereby producing an anesthetic that makes them feel weak all over.
Standing beside Yisheng, Vergo said expressionlessly, "Yisheng, all bases have been cleared. We can now prepare to make a call."
"Hmm." Yisheng nodded.
The drill grounds at various bases in North Blue, or on warships.
Those bewildered junior marines were gathered together.
Soon, Ichiro appeared on the Den Den Mushi screen.
"Gentlemen, I am Yisheng. The World Government is now nothing but bones in a graveyard, and the Celestial Dragons ' sins are beyond description... On behalf of the Liberator Organization and the Kingdom of Dawn, I invite you to join the great cause of liberating the entire world."
"So that future generations can live with dignity..."
"To protect family and friends from the threats of organized crime..."
"To overthrow all oppression and injustice..."
"Gentlemen, this is a golden opportunity to set things right! The world needs your strength! All of humanity needs your strength! Your loved ones need your strength!"
Rear Admiral Garry, in charge of intelligence in the North Blue region, disregarded formalities and hurriedly shouted, " Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Admiral Fujitora Issho of the North Blue has betrayed us! The North Blue Navy has announced its change of flag and is joining the Kingdom of Dawn!"
"What?!" Sengoku was struck dumb, his body stiffening instantly.
Rear Admiral Shaki, the intelligence chief for the East Blue region, shouted urgently, "Report! The Rum Kingdom of the East Blue has declared its secession from the World Government! Barton, the commander of the Rum Kingdom's Royal Army, just led his fleet to capture Base 100, which is under the command of the East Blue Admiral! The East Blue Admiral has been killed in action!"
Kaisha, the intelligence chief for the Paradise region, reported with a somber face, " Your Fleet Admiral, the Moonlight Pirates, Baroque Works, Domain of Beasts have launched a full-scale attack, and all the key islands along the Paradise's routes have fallen."
The Sengoku period was like a dream come true, but it didn't know how to calm down.
Just then, another intelligence officer rushed in.
With a lifeless expression, Sengoku asked, "Speak! Which place has rebelled or fallen this time?"
"Gurgle... Fleet Admiral, the Revolutionary Army has announced its membership in the Liberator Organization, and under the leadership of the Revolutionary Army new leader, Karasu, they have conquered six countries in the South Blue..."
Then, the intelligence chief of the West Blue region squeezed in, saying with a horrified expression, "Huff... Fleet Admiral, the three major mafia families of the West Blue have announced their joining the Liberator Organization. More than two-thirds of our bases in the West Blue have rebelled, and the remaining bases are about to collapse."
During the Sengoku period, the entire world seemed to be filled with enemies.
Currently, apart from the areas surrounding Mary Geoise, the World Government is either occupied, rebelled, or embroiled in war in other places.
The crane, too, found it difficult to remain calm.
Even with her exceptional intelligence and resourcefulness, she felt despair and suffocation in the face of such a situation.
However, the bad news didn't stop there.
In the Germa Kingdom of the North Blue, they suddenly crossed the Red Line and led a massive army into the Pole Star Islands of the East Blue (the islands where Loguetown is located).
Clearly, Tsuru and Sengoku had already guessed that the Germa Kingdom was most likely one of the Liberator Organization's moles.
Sengoku, bracing himself, ordered, "Have all naval forces abandon waters near the enemy and consolidate their defenses around the Red Line along the Mary Geoise line."
"Leave this to me!" Crane volunteered to take on the task.
Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi again and dialed the numbers of the Army Fleet Admiral and the Air Fleet Admiral.
The navy can't hold on any longer and has no choice but to ask the army and air force for help.
Although there are conflicts among the three branches of the armed forces, the current situation does not allow them to continue fighting amongst themselves.
Therefore, the Air Fleet Admiral and the Army Fleet Admiral agreed to Sengoku's request and quickly dispatched elite troops to reinforce the islands surrounding Mary Geoise.
Marine Admiral Aramaki also received Sengoku's order to lead his elite troops back to Marineford.
Clearly, Sengoku and Tsuru, among other high-ranking naval officers, were well aware of the current situation. If they did not concentrate their forces, they could easily be defeated piecemeal by the Liberator Organization.
