"Don't rush, Bullet,"

Naito said with great interest, "Since it's called a decisive battle, then of course we should wait until we're fairly confident."

"Wouldn't it be pointless to start a war rashly?"

"There's still plenty of time,"

Naito glanced at Bullet from head to toe. "Bullet, in this time, you can still make yourself stronger."

Bullet's eyes narrowed instantly, and his expression turned somewhat fierce. "Are you looking down on me?"

"Because."

Naito's voice came from behind Bullet's ear.

Bullet's pupils contracted slightly.

Wow, so fast!

"You still have a long way to go."

Naito appeared in front of Golden Lion, his back to Bullet, and said, "Let's at least train to Roger's level before we talk about anything else."

The Bullet in the movie is indeed strong enough; by all accounts, he has the strength of Four Emperors the Sea).

But that's all.

He's not even as good as Kaido, let alone someone like Roger Rocks.

However, his potential is still very strong. Putting aside everything else, once he masters Conqueror's Haki's Coating, he will be able to make rapid progress.

After all, this guy is a born monster.

How are you feeling?

Ignoring Bullet, Naito watched the Golden Lion with great interest.

"Hahahaha!"

The Golden Lion burst into laughter, "If a guy like that had ruled this world for eight hundred years, then I could accept it!"

"No wonder even that bastard Roger felt helpless! Forget Bullet, even I'm itching for that final battle!"

"Then prepare well."

Naito said, "Become as strong as you can before the final moment arrives."

"Otherwise, if you can't keep up with the intensity of the final battle, your only fate will be death."

"I don't need your nonsense!"

The Golden Lion snorted.

"I really should take some time to recover."

Redfield clenched his fist. "With this body, I can't do anything."

Naito glanced back slightly, using the corner of his eye to steal a look at the guy.

Opinions on the old man's strength varied widely on the forum.

In the main game, Sengoku describes Red Count as someone who, on his own, could rival the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

But Garp also said that Redfield wasn't even good enough to leave a mark on history.

All I can say is that Vice Admiral Garp's judgment was accurate.

As for the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, they always seemed to enjoy boosting the morale of others while diminishing their own.

Paramount War Whitebeard Pirates War, he said that if the Marines were not careful, they could be completely wiped out.

He keeps talking about how the World's Strongest Man has struck, or how the World's Strongest Man has gotten angry. If you knew him, you'd think he was the Fleet Admiral; if you didn't, you'd think he was Whitebeard's sidekick.

In retrospect, his assessment of Redfield was pure flattery.

At this moment, Redfield was quite weak, his aura even weaker than that of Teacher Zephyr.

Even at her peak, she was at best on par with Charlotte Linlin.

It's similar to the Bullet.

However, this old man is also capable of becoming stronger.

Naito asked with great interest, "Hey, Red, do you want Devil Fruit?"

"What?"

Redfield looked at him with some surprise.

This old man is still a man of principle. If you do him any more favors, he will be troubled about how to repay them.

Anyway, I don't have any suitable candidates under my command.

Mary Geoise.

Pangaea Castle.

The massive building was now completely silent; most of the World Government employees who had been stationed there were now foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Those who could still retain consciousness were probably only the elite agents of CP0.

Between the thrones.

The Five Elders knelt tremblingly beneath the high Empty Throne.

Are you kidding me? Lord Imu personally went to attack, and he still couldn't even do anything to the Night King's possessed body?

Has that mysterious and unpredictable fellow really become that difficult to deal with?

"It's incredible that this era could produce such a formidable man."

Still draped in a long black robe, Imu sat regally on his throne, his voice as indifferent as ever.

However, the Five Elders who knew him well knew that Lord Imu was extremely angry at this moment.

"Is he the one Joy Boy is waiting for?"

The Five Elders lowered their heads, not daring to utter a single word.

"Go find it,"

Imu said, "Find him and Loki for me, by any means necessary."

"Yes, Imu!"

The Five Elders quickly answered, but inwardly they were groaning.

Loki is manageable, but how are we going to find the Night King?

They didn't even know whether his true form was male or female, or what his age was.

If he doesn't show himself, how can we find him?

"Lord Imu,"

At this moment, the bald, mustachioed Five Elders, Warcury, said somewhat cautiously, "What should we do about the Navy? Should we send them on their way to Elbaf?"

"You decide for yourselves."

Imu didn't care about that.

"Yes!"

The Five Elders couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Sending the Navy to fight the Night King and Loki again is not a good idea.

Even a combination of Naito, Kizaru, and Aokiji would never be able to defeat the current group.

Reinforcements won't arrive anytime soon, and if we stubbornly continue the attack, we'll likely be wiped out.

Soon, New Marineford.

Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru—the three giants of the Navy—are reunited once again.

"Has the situation really deteriorated to this extent?"

Even the usually composed Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose. "Doflamingo and the others are one thing, but how could those monsters, Bullet and Red, actually side with the Night King?"

"It's probably just a case of scumbags appreciating each other."

Even as he spoke wittily, Vice Admiral Garp's expression remained quite serious. "In that case, the combined power of Night King and Loki already surpasses that of the Rocks Pirates back then."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed helplessly, "Night King, Loki, Golden Lion, Red, Bullet —just with these names, it would take the entire headquarters to defeat them."

"Moreover, no one can predict what kind of losses it will cause."

"That Night King won't even give us a chance to defeat him."

Vice Admiral Tsuru slowly exhaled, "His abilities are simply too troublesome."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Garp the Hero exchanged a glance and then sighed.

Yes, if we want to defeat them, we at least need to find them first.

"In short, the government has already given the order,"

Sengoku rubbed his temples. "Let Naito and the others come back quickly. Continuing to that sea area is far too dangerous."

We need to pick up Zephyr and the others first.

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up, "G-14 Base is currently the most dangerous. Although we don't know why the Night King hasn't made a move there yet, we can't gamble on him not making a move in the long run."

Sengoku's expression grew increasingly grave. After a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice, "How do we go to pick them up? Who will go?"

Garp and Tsuru, the two legendary Marine Vice Admiral, fell silent at that moment.

Yes, how do we pick it up?

How exactly can we evacuate all those people from G-14 Base right under the Night King's nose?

Sending the large fleet over there might play right into the Night King's hands. Is he waiting for naval reinforcements? What if everyone is wiped out in that area?

"Let's ask Kuzan what they think."

Garp the Hero suddenly spoke up, "Compared to us sitting in our offices, those on the front lines certainly have more right to speak!"

Soon, in a certain sea area in the middle of the New World.

The massive naval fleet has halted its advance.

Inside the cabin of the massive warship in the center, all the fleet's senior officers were gathered together.

"Another attack on Impel Down?"

Aokiji sat in the chair, scratching the back of his head with a troubled expression. "They even managed to win over two monsters, Bullet and Redfield. Ugh, isn't that a bit too scary?"

"In that case, once we enter the seas ruled by the Night King, our whereabouts will likely be exposed."

Kizaru then spoke up, his face equally filled with helplessness, "And once we're exposed, we might really be wiped out."

Everyone's expression was extremely serious; no one had expected that the situation would change so dramatically in such a short time.

The enemy's strength has increased to an absurd level in one fell swoop.
