"Boss Kaido has ordered the withdrawal of all forces scattered throughout Wano Country."
"At present,
The forces assembled on Onigashima number approximately three thousand, including five hundred gene warriors who have undergone rudimentary Bloodline Transplantation.
" Jack, Black Maria, Ulti, Page One, and other members who have received perfect Bloodline Transplantation..."
After six months of training and combat, their strength has greatly improved, and they have become a major fighting force of the Beasts Pirates.
"As for me and Queen-- "
Jin paused, a burning glint in his eyes.
"We have basically mastered the new abilities gained after the Bloodline Transplantation and are ready to be deployed in battle at any time."
Roy nodded in satisfaction.
Five hundred genetically engineered warriors, plus top-tier fighters like Kaido, King, and Queen, and three thousand Beasts Pirates.
This force is enough to directly confront any naval main fleet.
What about the World Government?
Roy pressed on,
Has the Navy sent anyone?
Jhin and Queen exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.
"This is exactly what we're most worried about."
Jin said in a deep voice,
"According to intelligence, although G-1 Branch claims to be commanded by Garp and Akainu, a large number of Marines have gathered, preparing to attack the New World."
"But in fact, the Navy may have already secretly led a team to Wano Country."
Roy's heart skipped a beat.
really.
The ambush at the waterfall, combined with the current intelligence, makes everything add up.
The Navy secretly infiltrated Wano Country to cooperate with CP0's operations, attempting to stab Kaido in the back.
As for the G-1 Branch, it was just a smokescreen put out by the Navy to attract everyone's attention.
What a clever feint!
I just don't know who's leading the navy team.
Roy fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"I understand the situation."
Roy looked at Kaido.
" Kaido, my suggestion is—to split up."
Kaido took a swig of sake and looked at Roy with great interest.
Tell me about it.
"The main force of the Beasts Pirates will remain on Onigashima as the main force to deal with Kozuki Oden's uprising."
"Once Oden launches his attack, you can use Onigashima's advantageous terrain to hold them off."
"And on my side..."
Roy's gaze swept over Jhin, Queen, and the others.
" Tesoro and I, as a mobile force, will prioritize eliminating CP0 and Kurozumi Orochi's forces."
"Reclaim the Seastone mines, eradicate these 'parasites,' and sever the World Government's claws."
"Then, we'll turn around and help you deal with Kozuki Oden."
Kaido pondered for a few seconds, then grinned.
"Hehehe! Good plan!"
"It's settled then!"
Kaido suddenly stood up and looked at King and Queen.
"Jin, you're in charge of overseeing the defense of Onigashima!"
" Queen, bring out all those random weapons of yours! Don't hold back when you need to use them!"
"Everyone else, to your positions! Ready for battle!"
The crowd responded in unison, "Yes!"
Roy also stood up, preparing to leave with Tesoro and Yamato.
At that moment, Yamato suddenly spoke up.
"Captain, I want to join the operation too!"
Roy stopped and turned to look at her.
Yamato's eyes were firm and fervent.
"I'm a member of the Roy Pirates!"
I didn't come to Wano Country to watch a play!
"I will fight!"
Roy was silent for two seconds, then looked at Kaido.
Kaido, looked away, and remained silent.
But Roy could see a complex emotion flash across his eyes—anger, helplessness, and a hint of... pride?
Roy sighed inwardly, then nodded.
"Good."
"You take those five hundred gene warriors and wait until Tesoro and I have cleared out the CP0 main force in the mine."
"Immediately seize the mine and take control of the situation."
Is it possible?
A glint flashed in Yamato's eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
"Able!"
Kaido turned his head sharply, as if to say something, but in the end he only let out a heavy snort.
He grabbed the wine gourd and walked towards the back of the hall without looking back.
"Whatever!"
His voice drifted from afar, carrying a hint of an indescribable emotion.
Roy looked at Kaido's back and sighed in his heart.
This reckless man, in the end, still cares about his daughter.
However, he will never know how to express it.
Meanwhile, the Flower Capital.
Kurozumi Orochi's residence.
This most luxurious building in Wano Country is now shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.
Inside the main hall, the lights were bright, but the air was oppressively suffocating.
Kurozumi Orochi slumped in the main seat, his fat face covered in cold sweat, the wine glass in his hand trembling slightly, oblivious to the wine spilling all over him.
"Roy, Roy... that ' Heavenly Dao ' Roy is here?!"
His voice was shrill and piercing, filled with undisguised fear.
"That ' Heavenly Dao ' Roy with a 2.5 billion bounty?! That guy who caused chaos in Mary Geoise?!"
"Didn't he already leave!?"
"How... how did he come to Wano Country?!"
Seated to his left was a figure wearing a black cloak and a mask with a gold cross emblem.
CP0 total length.
His figure was as tall and straight as a mountain, radiating an icy aura.
The eyes behind the mask looked down at the Kurozumi Orochi as if it were an ant.
"Lord Kurozumi Orochi, please calm down."
The CP0 chief's voice was calm and expressionless; he addressed the officer respectfully, but there was absolutely no trace of respect in his tone.
Roy's arrival was exactly what we expected.
"As expected?!"
The Kurozumi Orochi suddenly stood up, the fear on its face vanishing instantly.
"Didn't you say Garp would stop him?!"
Wasn't it said that the Navy would keep him occupied at the G-1 Branch?!
"But he's already in Wano Country! And he brought his subordinate Tesoro with him!"
"What the hell are you guys doing?!"
The CP0 chief remained seated, unmoved.
"The ambush on the other side of the waterfall has failed."
His voice was completely flat, as if he were stating a trivial fact.
"Three lieutenant Vice Admiral and over thirty elite CP soldiers couldn't stop him for more than two minutes."
"This result certainly exceeded expectations."
"Exceeded expectations?!"
Kurozumi Orochi almost jumped up.
This is the result you gave me?!
I chose to cooperate with you because you guaranteed my safety!
"Now Roy's here! The monster's here!"
"I don't care! You have to take care of him! Now! Immediately!"
He rushed to the CP0 chief, his face contorted with hysterical terror.
"Otherwise, I will abandon our cooperation!"
I'd rather surrender to Kaido! At least he won't kill me!
The CP0 chief finally raised his head, his eyes behind the mask as cold as ice.
"Abandon cooperation?"
His voice remained calm, but the invisible pressure he exuded instantly froze the Kurozumi Orochi in place.
"Lord Kurozumi Orochi, are you sure you want to say that?"
The Kurozumi Orochi trembled, cold sweat sliding down its cheeks.
He recalled the agreement he had reached with CP0—
The World Government supports him in becoming the true Shogun of Wano Country, thus freeing him from Kaido's control;
In return, he gave half of the Seastone mine's output, as well as the right to open Wano Country to the World Government.
But at this moment, agreements are utterly insignificant in the face of the fear of death!
"I... I..."
