Whitebeard is here?
The expressions on the faces of those present changed drastically.
Charlotte Linlin did indeed mention a series of backup plans just now.
However, when they actually heard the words "Whitebeard," they were equally shaken.
Regardless of how much the reputation of Whitebeard has been overshadowed by the up-and-coming Bai Yu over the past six months.
However, as the one who named the old era, Whitebeard has weighed on people's hearts like a boulder for decades.
Although the veteran is old, his remaining prowess is still evident.
This is a reflection of what everyone is thinking.
Even Charlotte Linlin, who was confident of success, couldn't help but show a hint of seriousness on her face when she heard this news.
Upon meeting CP0's gaze, Xiao Sha's expression quickly turned serious. He clenched his fist tightly, crushing the teacup in his hand, and said sternly.
"Come on, let's face Whitebeard on his final journey. I want him to know that from now on, this sea will no longer bear the name of Whitebeard; it will only have the Big Mom Pirates."
"Originally, we planned to let him prolong his life for a few more days. Since he's come here to die in person, we'll take his head."
"Whoever can take Whitebeard's head will be able to control one-third of the Whitebeard Pirates ' territory. Whoever can take the heads of those division commanders will not only receive a reward of 500 million Beli, but will also become one of the Twelve Sweet Commander, obtain Devil Fruit and Devil's Medicine, and as for wealth and glory, they will have inexhaustible riches."
"From now on, there's only one thing you need to do: follow me and slay the Whitebeard Pirates."
The rolling voices, like thunderclaps, echoed throughout the palace, lingering for a long time.
Those pirates who initially held a certain degree of awe for the Whitebeard Pirates were instantly filled with fervor after Charlotte Linlin's morale-boosting speech.
They dared not covet the Whitebeard's head in the slightest.
But the sixteen squad leaders and forty-three captains are all walking rewards.
Now, the Totto Land claims to have gathered an army of 100,000 here.
No matter how powerful the Whitebeard Pirates, they probably can't withstand a sheer number of people.
Upon realizing this, many people the Roar in unison.
"Kill Whitebeard... kill the division commander..."
The scene erupted instantly. As Charlotte Linlin issued her orders, the entire Totto Land was in an uproar.
The battle involving 100,000 people was still like a torrent for the Totto Land, which had already prepared three massive islands to fight back.
With each massive cannon mounted, the atmosphere became even more ominous.
This battle was completely different from the one in Wano Country.
If Wano Country was caught off guard...
Now, the Totto Land is a tiger armed to the teeth, and has already made thorough preparations.
Accompanied by a massive force of 100,000 men, they poured into the three islands, and pirate ships flying various flags were quickly set sail to defend against the enemy.
Once everything had turned around, all that could be seen was a chilling atmosphere.
Everyone on the battlefield was on edge, their nerves taut, gazing out at the distant horizon.
Based on Katakuri's intelligence, they did indeed know that Whitebeard and his crew were on their way.
However, they were determined not to lose face, and they hoped to use their superior strength to overpower the Whitebeard Pirates and gain some confidence.
"Mom, the Marine Headquarters ships have appeared, but we haven't seen Whitebeard's pirate ship yet."
Perospero licked the lollipop in his hand and looked at Charlotte Linlin, who stood beside him like a small mountain.
These words immediately put many people on edge.
Charlotte Linlin squinted at CP0.
Now that the Big Mom Pirates have chosen to cooperate with the Five Elders, they can be considered as half an ally.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend; this principle applies everywhere.
It would be inappropriate for the Marine Headquarters to interfere at such a critical juncture.
"Don't worry, according to intelligence, the Marine Headquarters is only sending a small force of 1,000 men this time, led personally by Garp and Sengoku."
CP0 spoke coldly.
"As for the Marine Headquarters, it's in a complete mess right now, barely able to take care of itself, how could it possibly have the mind to participate in such a major battle?"
"Compared to your life-or-death battle with Whitebeard, Akainu is more worried that you pirates might suddenly turn your guns on Marine Headquarters. We've already mobilized 50,000 Marine soldiers from all around to garrison Marineford."
"So, Akainu should already be thanking you for not attacking Marine Headquarters, let alone the fact that he would dare to interfere here."
Charlotte Linlin glanced at Katakuri subconsciously, and only after seeing him nod in acknowledgment did she smile and speak.
"Hehe, of course I believe you, after all, we're like allies."
"Oh right, you said that if that brat shows up, you'll have CP0 assassins join you in sniping him. Don't forget to put in extra effort. Once I'm free to kill Whitebeard, that brat will definitely not come back alive."
"Don't worry, when it's my turn to act, I won't hesitate. Otherwise, I wouldn't be getting involved in this." CP0 said coldly.
As the words fell silent, the scene once again descended into dead silence, and the unusually calm sea only amplified the oppressive atmosphere.
Five or six nautical miles from the three islands of the Totto Land, a Marine warship is quietly anchored on the sea.
Standing prominently on the bow deck were Sengoku and Garp.
Following closely behind them were a group of ordinary soldiers.
As the two pillars of the navy in the past, these two veterans have indeed not personally taken action for a long time, but every time they do, it is destined to shock the seas.
Akainu's decision to send Sengoku and Garp to Totto Land to "oversee the battle" was entirely based on considerations of numbers.
If other naval commanders are assigned to lead naval forces, the number of sailors must be significantly greater; otherwise, they will be unable to exert any deterrent effect.
Charlotte Linlin could probably reap the rewards with a single thought.
With Sengoku and Garp present, not only can the number of people be reduced, but it can also serve as a deterrent.
Furthermore, it would prevent any misunderstanding that the Marine Headquarters had other intentions.
This can be considered a way of completely demonstrating an attitude of detachment.
However, looking at the densely packed pirate ships that had already lined up at the sea entrance, Sengoku's brows furrowed even more.
Looking back at the sea, there was still no sign of Whitebeard's pirate ship.
" Sengoku, you don't actually think Whitebeard will back down at the last minute, do you? Don't forget we've caught him off guard several times in our encounters. Rather than worrying about whether Whitebeard will come, I'm more confused about why CP0 is even involved."
Garp swallowed the senbei in one gulp, making a muffled, smacking noise as he spoke.
"I don't believe the Five Elders would keep their pack of dogs a secret and let them die."
