Sengoku frowned and nodded, not at all surprised by Garp's startling words.
Both are veterans, and have been partners for many years.
To outsiders, Garp is a slovenly and foolish warrior.
However, Sengoku knew perfectly well that Garp's reckless and impulsive actions were actually a sign of his intelligence.
The principle of "merit exceeding one's master" applies everywhere.
Sengoku wasn't worried that Garp would overshadow him.
However, the Five Elders behind the World Government, or even more deeply hidden Imu, would not think so.
A title of hero has already made Garp a transcendent figure in the Navy.
If Garp continues to display the same authoritative and skillful methods as Sengoku, he will become the undisputed number one figure in the Marine Headquarters.
The Five Elders might genuinely worry that the Marine Headquarters will become Garp's private property.
It was precisely for this reason that Bai Yu's appearance stepped into this dangerous zone, which is why the Five Elders were so eager to eliminate him.
As the masters of this world, the Five Elders don't care about your achievements.
All they had to do was raise obedient dogs.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Sengoku's mind. Faced with Garp's question, he couldn't quite figure it out for the time being.
However, another question startled Sengoku, who then the Roar urgently.
"Weigh anchor immediately and retreat quickly. Whitebeard has chosen a surprise attack for this landing operation!"
The sudden turn of events initially startled the thousands of naval soldiers aboard the ship.
They genuinely couldn't understand what those words meant.
However, faced with the orders of this former Fleet Admiral, they dared not hesitate in the slightest and immediately weighed anchor, hoisted sails, and retreated.
Katakuri, who had been monitoring the area, frowned slightly. Perospero, standing beside him, smiled knowingly and said...
"Mom, those Marines are really afraid of death. They set sail and ran away before they even saw the Whitebeard Pirates."
"They're worried that we won't be able to wait for Whitebeard to appear, so let's just devour them first."
"If this is what they call the 'two pillars' of the navy, then it's a bit disappointing."
These words instantly elicited a scornful smile from many pirates.
Only Katakuri looked a little uneasy and couldn't help but say something.
"Mom, this time the naval commander is Sengoku. Is it really appropriate to order a retreat? Shouldn't we be more cautious?"
"Be cautious? Katakuri, we have 100,000 men here, twice as many as Whitebeard. If we're still being cautious, we'll just become a laughing stock." Perospero said with a disdainful laugh.
"Looking around now, there's not a single ship from the Whitebeard Pirates, not even a hair. Could he possibly spring out of a rock?"
Seeing Perospero spitting everywhere, Katakuri frowned even more.
Unfortunately, before he could even speak, a sudden exclamation rang out.
"Look! There are lots of dark shadows on the sea. Could it be Sea Kings? Aren't they afraid of dying...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the dark shadow that had appeared was rapidly enlarging.
The once calm sea was gradually being pushed up into small hills, and the pirate ship on the sea was finally shaken.
If there were only one black spot, they could still mistake it for a dumbfounded Sea Kings that had foolishly stumbled into this battlefield.
However, now that dozens of dark shadows are rapidly appearing, from an aerial view, they look exactly like a spotted dog.
Before anyone could react, another exclamation rang out.
"It's... it's a pirate ship! All those ships below are pirate ships!"
Boom!
A massive pirate ship crashed through the sea and surged upwards. As it pierced the coating, the waves it created surged outwards like Dotō wave.
Several pirate ships that were originally in the nearby waters were suddenly hit head-on by a huge wave.
Dozens of pirate ships sprang up all at once, like mushrooms after rain.
The waves that had been created converged at this moment.
It formed a towering wave that surged toward the mouth of the sea in all three directions.
Dozens of pirate ships that were originally lined up in formation were instantly overturned.
The vast estuary was completely in chaos.
Some pirate ships, before they could even charge into battle, were struck by the waves and shattered, sinking into the sea.
In an instant, screams, cries for help, and various curses echoed throughout the entire sea.
The Whitebeard pirate ship flags, which had been waiting for so long, finally fluttered in the wind, and at that moment they appeared extremely glaring.
Then the last enormous ship appeared on the surface of the sea.
The moment the coating pierced through, the pirate flag of the half-moon bearded man fluttered.
Standing on the deck of the Moby Dick, the Whitebeard at the head of the group grinned with a cruel, excited smile.
With a sudden flick of his Murakumogiri, he stomped down on the sea beneath his feet, wielding the Murakumogiri sword.
"Men, kill them all! Let Whitebeard's pirate flag be planted on the highest point here!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of battle instantly reached the heavens.
The Murakumogiri held by Whitebeard, without any fancy moves, suddenly began to tumble.
With a series of crackling sonic booms, the blade slashed directly towards Whole Cake Island without any fancy moves.
"You crazy woman, let me see what gives you the audacity to try and erase me from this old era in this new one."
" Supreme Blade!"
Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled, and the shockwaves, wildly compressed onto the blade, unleashed a devastating slash.
In an instant, the entire world trembled violently, and the sea in front of the Moby Dick was torn open, creating a chasm.
An invisible shockwave, carrying immense force, tore through the sea and hurtled towards Whole Cake Island, where Charlotte Linlin was.
Wherever it passed, the pirate ships that couldn't escape were instantly torn to shreds like paper.
The ripples in the air and the towering waves that surged forth, like the end of the world, crashed down on Whole Cake Island.
The power of that single strike was so terrifying that it completely stunned the pirates present.
The people of this sea have all heard of Whitebeard's legendary reputation.
However, once he made a move, it was as if the world was about to be destroyed.
This was simply unacceptable to them.
Is this a battle with a monster?
They finally understood why Whitebeard was considered the strongest of the old era.
" Whitebeard, you madman!"
Charlotte Linlin's face Kotetsu ashen.
Whether it was the way Whitebeard appeared or the way he unleashed his ultimate attack right from the start, a hateful figure immediately flashed through Charlotte Linlin's mind.
This damn sense of familiarity!
However, now that the die is cast, Charlotte Linlin has no choice but to accept it.
