"That bastard Kaido dares to laugh at me."
"What a Shanks! What a bear! I really underestimated them." " Perospero is an idiot too! He's made me lose all face!" Big Mom the Roar angrily after smashing the Den Den Mushi with one blow.
Seeing Big Mom's furious expression, even the members of the Charlotte Family dared not utter a word.
" Tyrant Kuma, whose real name is Bartholomew Kuma, is a Paw-Paw Fruit Devil Fruit User Bartholomew Kuma. He roamed the first half of the Grand Line, famous for ruthlessly swatting away anyone he encountered. Later, he was subdued by the Azure Emperor, and his strength surpassed that of Kirikage Saizo, becoming the Azure Emperor's First Apostle. His Paw-Paw Fruit can swat everything away, so it seems that Brother Pero was only swatted away and did not die!" Katakuri said.
"I don't care if that idiot Perospero lives or dies, the problem is that I've completely lost face, and I have to get it back," BIGMOM said grimly.
To be honest, she now wishes she could personally take action and wipe out Shanks and the others.
But that won't work.
Firstly, if she had to personally deal with just Shanks, wouldn't that only make Kaido laugh at her even more?
Secondly, Shanks is backed by the Azure Emperor.
Moreover, according to news from Hachinosu, Bullet has already left Hachinosu Land.
That's a formidable character comparable to the Four Emperors.
We must be on guard.
"Mother, I'm willing to go and capture Shanks and the others, and let you deal with them as you see fit. Just please don't blame Brother Pero and the others!" "Are you trying to bargain with me?" A terrifying Haki emanated from Big Mom.
In Bigom's opinion, Perospero and his group are probably in grave danger this time.
Even if they survive, she won't easily forgive them once she returns to the Totto Land.
Removing several decades from one's lifespan is considered lenient.
Katakuri is actually going to plead for them?
This is blatant defiance against me.
You're going to break your own rules.
"No, I just think Brother Pero's fault this time wasn't due to a lack of skill. Perhaps we all underestimated Shanks and the others!" Katakuri said without any fear.
Katakuri had a premonition about this.
The fact that Zesi Shanks to defeat them is terrifyingly complicated.
Judging from the situation in this battle, Shanks didn't even have to lift a finger; it was just a bear that defeated Perospero and his group.
This demonstrates the bear's extraordinary strength.
However, this bear was not the commander-in-chief of this expedition, which suggests that Shanks ' strength is probably even greater than that of the bear.
Katakuri was also very aware of Perospero's strength.
Although he has some flaws, he is still very difficult for an average person to defeat.
However, the bear was able to defeat members of the Charlotte Family, including Perospero.
This shows that the bear's strength is truly extraordinary.
It's easy to imagine that Shanks, who is above the bear, is even more extraordinary.
Seeing Katakuri back, Big Mom's expression darkened even more.
But the next moment, BIGMOM smiled.
"Very well, if you handle things well this time, I'll grant your wish; but if you don't, you know what the consequences will be!"
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely defeat Shanks and get back your face!" Katakuri said, a glint of light in his eyes.
"I heard that Big Mom's army was defeated by Shanks' forces?"
Having just come down from Mary Geoise, Sengoku said as he walked towards the Marine Headquarters building.
Beside him were Navy Chief of Staff Tsuru, Garp, and Demon Sheep, among others. "They were indeed defeated, and defeated badly. Shanks didn't even have to lift a finger; only Kuma and Benn Beckman of the First Division made a move," Tsuru said.
"With 50,000 troops against just over 10,000, the Big Mom Pirates, who had a significant numerical advantage, suffered such a crushing and swift defeat. It seems there are military experts among the Azure Emperor Pirates ' expeditionary force!" Sengoku said.
"Indeed, there is a military expert. The Azure Emperor Pirates ' troop deployment this time was all done by Benn Beckman, a subordinate of Shanks. He not only has extremely outstanding strength, but also extremely brilliant military strategy. However, the Azure Emperor Pirates were able to win so easily this time. In addition to the difference between the two commanders, the main reason is the huge difference in military quality between the two sides," Tsuru said.
"Oh." Sengoku raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing Tsuru's words.
"The crew members and the Death Army of the Azure Emperor Pirates are all students trained at the Azure Emperor Military Academy Azure Emperor Military Academy, whose instructor is Bullet. Bullet fought in the military from a young age, experiencing the most rigorous training and the most brutal battles. The Death Army's training is relentless, as these Death Army were originally pirates defeated by the Azure Emperor Pirates. The Azure Emperor Pirates trained them with a disregard for the Death Army, cultivating an iron-like discipline. While the regular crew members of the Azure Emperor Pirates Death Army n't undergo the same reckless training, they employ even more effective methods. Besides discipline, each member develops military skills. Frankly speaking, every member of the Azure Emperor Pirates possesses military talent comparable to a naval officer or higher." "Therefore, although the Big Mom Pirates have one or two times more members, in battle, they are several times weaker!"
"I didn't expect the ordinary members of the Azure Emperor Pirates to be this strong. Fortunately, Big Mom tested them out for us this time, otherwise the Navy would have suffered a great loss if a full-scale war had broken out." Sengoku said with a frown (Zhao Nuo's words).
In Sengoku's eyes, the Navy and the Azure Emperor Pirates would inevitably clash sooner or later.
The Navy simply doesn't have the strength to defeat the Azure Emperor Pirates right now, so they're temporarily holding back and building up their power.
Previously, the Navy only considered the strength of the Azure Emperor Pirates' high-ranking members and didn't pay much attention to the strength of the ordinary members of the Azure Emperor Pirates.
But do these ordinary members really possess the qualities described?
If the Navy goes to war with the Azure Emperor Pirates, they will suffer heavy losses.
It should be noted that the Azure Emperor Pirates now have over 30,000 ordinary crew members, plus over 20,000 Death Army.
If each of them possessed such qualities, they would be a force to be reckoned with.
"Immediately send men to intensify their investigation of the Azure Emperor Pirates, including the strength and military skills of Azure Emperor Pirates ordinary crew members. I need to know all of this," Sengoku said. "Yes, sir!"
