"They will constantly clash over resources, territory, and prestige."
The more chaotic the New World becomes, the greater the attrition among pirates.
"The navy will intervene only after they've fought each other to the point where they can no longer maintain their power."
She paused for a moment.
"Then we will be able to quell the chaos and restore order to the seas."
Akainu still disagreed.
"That's too risky."
"Once the navy loses control, it may never be able to take it back."
Maintaining the original balance is no longer possible.
Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Sengoku.
We now only have two choices.
"One option is to abandon Whitebeard now and concentrate our efforts on hunting down Uchiha Xin."
"The other option is to continue with the original plan: execute Ace first, then surround and kill Whitebeard, and wait for the pirates to weaken each other."
"The first path will lead us to face Uchiha Xin and Whitebeard simultaneously."
"The second option, at least, can deal with the Whitebeard Pirates first."
The Sengoku remained silent.
He looked down at the intelligence report in front of him.
Red-Haired dies.
Whitebeard is about to face the Navy.
Uchiha Xin's name has spread throughout the seas.
Everything is forcing the Navy to make a choice.
A moment later, the Sengoku began to raise its head.
"Maintain the original plan."
Akainu immediately looked at him.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Sengoku raised his hand, silencing him.
"Execute Ace first."
"Let's launch another attack on Whitebeard."
"As for Uchiha Xin, we will not pursue him for the time being."
Aokiji said in a deep voice:
"What if he suddenly appears on the battlefield?"
Sengoku's gaze darkened.
Then we should prepare accordingly.
"But the deployment will not be changed until he arrives."
Akainu stared at Sengoku for a few moments before finally looking away.
"I see."
His voice remained firm.
"However, if Uchiha Xin dares to appear on the battlefield, I will personally take action."
"At that time, no one will be able to stop me."
There was no response from the Sengoku.
Akainu sat back down, folding his hands.
On the surface, he temporarily toned down his sharp edge.
But it was clear to everyone that he had not given up on the idea of punishing Uchiha Xin.
Kizaru raised his eyelids.
"That's really scary."
Aokiji remained silent.
His gaze fell on the intelligence about the Whitebeard Pirates, and his expression grew increasingly complicated.
Garp sat to the side, opening his mouth several times, but no sound came out.
Ace is his grandson.
The Navy is about to publicly execute Ace.
And he had to sit there, listening to everyone discuss how to ensure the execution went smoothly.
Sengoku glanced at him.
Garp's body stiffened slightly.
That gaze said it all.
Don't speak.
Don't stop it.
Garp lowered his head, gripping his knees tightly with both hands.
No one spoke again in the office.
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders sat around in the room as the sound of Den Den Mushi) came through.
The Sengoku period chief fully reported the navy's decision.
The Navy will maintain its original plan.
"The first step is to publicly execute Fire Fist Ace."
"The second step is to encircle and annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates."
"After the Whitebeard Pirates are destroyed, we'll look for an opportunity to deal with Uchiha Xin, depending on the situation in the New World."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"This plan is not suitable."
An aged voice rang out.
" Uchiha Xin just killed Red-Haired."
"If we don't eliminate him now before he establishes himself firmly, and allow him to continue expanding his power, the consequences will be unpredictable."
The Sengoku had already anticipated that the Five Elders would oppose it.
" Uchiha Xin did not have a fixed base."
His spatial abilities make him very difficult to lock onto.
"If we mobilize the Navy to pursue him now, the Whitebeard Pirates might be able to storm Marineford."
"If Ace is rescued, the Navy's prestige will be severely damaged."
Vice Admiral Tsuru took over the conversation.
"More importantly, Uchiha Xin has disrupted the balance of the ocean."
Even if we kill him now, we can't change the situation.
" Red-Haired is dead."
"If Whitebeard hadn't died, a new balance would have been maintained among the Four Emperors."
"Once Whitebeard is defeated, Kaido, Big Mom, and Uchiha Xin will weaken each other."
"The navy can wait until they've finished fighting before stepping in to clean up the mess."
The Five Elders fell silent once again.
They were well aware of the dangers of this plan.
However, it is equally clear that Uchiha Xin is not a target that can be easily eliminated.
He does not have the blood of the D. Clan.
There were no Ancient Weapon either.
It is not a special entity capable of shaking the foundations of the World Government.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, no matter how strong Uchiha Xin was, he was just a newly promoted Four Emperors- level fighter.
He can alter the balance of power at sea, but he cannot threaten the World Government itself.
It's not worth having the World Government disrupt its entire plan for him.
" Sengoku "
The Five Elders finally spoke.
Do you think Uchiha Xin will intervene in the execution and encirclement?
Sengoku said in a deep voice:
"Very likely."
"He harbors extreme hostility towards the Navy and the World Government."
" Red-Haired tried to dissuade him, but was ultimately killed by him."
"If he suddenly appears when Whitebeard goes to war with the Navy, he is very likely to attack the Navy directly."
That would disrupt the entire plan.
The phone went silent on both sides.
The Five Elders clearly hadn't anticipated this.
A moment later, a cold voice said:
"If he dares to show himself, deal with him as well."
The other person continued:
"The Commander-in-Chief of the entire army is hereby ordered to immediately proceed to the battlefield to take command."
"At the same time, all CP0 elite personnel are on standby."
"Locate him immediately as soon as Uchiha Xin appears."
" The Marine Admiral, the Commander-in-Chief, and the CP0."
What does " Five Elders " mean?
The Sengoku asked about this.
"Take advantage of the Whitebeard Pirates' battle with the Marines to completely annihilate Uchiha Xin."
"This time, we absolutely cannot let him leave alive."
The Five Elders ' voices turned cold.
"No matter how strong he is, it's impossible for him to escape unscathed from an attack by top-tier combatants."
" The Sengoku period has already secured sufficient support for this strategic move."
"Absolutely no mistakes are allowed."
Sengoku's expression finally relaxed.
The Commander-in-Chief of the entire army was absent from the battlefield.
All Three Admirals of the Navy were present.
CP0 elites are ready to be deployed at any time.
If Uchiha Xin doesn't appear, the Navy will proceed with their plan to execute Ace and then surround and kill Whitebeard.
If Uchiha Xin appears, then take advantage of this great battle to eliminate him along with the Whitebeard Pirates.
This time, the Navy will not give anyone another chance to sabotage the plan.
"I see."
The Sengoku responded in a deep voice.
"The Navy will definitely complete its mission."
The Five Elders issued a final warning:
" Sengoku "
" Uchiha Xin is merely a newly promoted Four Emperors -level fighter."
He is not D. Clan.
"Don't overestimate his threat just because Red-Haired in battle."
"At most, he can only change the power structure at sea."
"The foundation of the World Government will not be changed by a single pirate."
"This operation must succeed."
Sengoku: gripping the Den Den Mushi tightly.
Please rest assured.
"As long as no unexpected variables are encountered, this operation will be a complete success."
The Den Den Mushi's voice then stopped.
Sengoku put down the receiver and turned his gaze back to the intelligence report on the table.
Execute Ace.
To surround and annihilate Whitebeard.
He was waiting for an opportunity to kill Uchiha Xin.
This is the follow-up action plan jointly agreed upon by the Navy and the World Government.
