Chapter 162 Headquarters Meeting- Kaido Declaration of War
Marine Headquarters·Supreme Strategic Conference Room
The heavy steel door slowly closed, as if it had isolated all the noise and disturbances in the world at that moment.
On both sides of the huge oval conference table, the Marines' top fighters sat solemnly, their uniforms straight, their rank insignias shining with a cold and murderous light, their eyes as sharp as swords.
Marshal Sakazuki sat on the main seat, his crimson cloak of justice draped over his shoulders like a burning flame.
With his fists folded on the table, one could faintly see dark red lava lines slowly flowing under his skin, which was chilling.
His sharp hawk-like gaze slowly swept over each general, and the air in the room became particularly solemn under his pressure.
On the left, the pro-war faction, led by Rogge, has an aura as sharp as a knife, while on the right, the conservative faction, led by Kizaru, has a deep and reserved gaze.
However, at this moment, there are no so-called "doves" in the Marine, only determination and firmness!
"Everyone."
Sakazuki's voice was deep and powerful, and the air in the conference room seemed to become hot as he spoke.
"Buggy's execution has announced Marine's resolve to the world."
"But the real war has just begun!"
Rogge crossed his fingers and placed them under his chin. His cold, sharp eyes slashed through the crowd like a knife. "The only remaining major threats to the New World are the two major Pirates, Kaido and Big Mom."
"The latest intelligence shows that they have begun to urgently gather troops, seemingly intending to join forces to fight against us."
Zephyr snorted coldly, the phoenix's azure flames surging down her shoulder armor like a stream, emitting an oppressive aura of life. "Just two pirate groups, and you dare to join forces against the Marines?"
"Very good, this is the perfect opportunity for us to wipe them out in one go!"
Enel crossed his legs, tapped the ground with his golden scepter, and lightning flashed in his pupils.
"Leave the 'Homiz Legion' of all nations to me. How dare a mere creation call itself 'life'?"
Trafalgar Law raised his hand slightly, and the clear blue surgical field unfolded lightly, and the three-dimensional New World map instantly floated in the air.
"Their alliance appears solid, but in reality it is full of cracks."
"If we were to tear open a gap at the border between Wanokuni and the Ten Thousand Kingdoms..."
Sakazuki suddenly raised his hand and punched down. The lava fist force instantly burned the edge of the map, and a smell of charcoal floated in the air.
"We don't have to engage in useless calculations!"
He growled, his eyes burning with magma-like anger, "Marine now has only one goal, and that is to crush them head-on!"
Kizaru took a sip of hot tea, still appearing nonchalant on the surface, but his eyes were unexpectedly sharp.
"That's great But the World Summit is next week"
"Those kings will probably be so frightened by the current situation that they can't sleep~"
Fujitora closed his eyes, tapped the ground steadily with the cane knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"The World Government will inevitably put pressure on Marine to exercise 'restraint' at the meeting."
"Especially... the attitude of the Celestial Dragons."
Chief of Staff Crane's deep eyes revealed wisdom and worry: "The Five Elders will never allow us to completely wipe out the Four Emperors."
"If that happens, once the so-called 'balance' collapses, their control over the world will also fall into chaos."
Momousagi Gion let out a cold sneer. "Balance? Pirates are evil scum themselves, how can there be any balance?"
"Our duty is to completely eradicate these evils!"
Chaton Kaji scratched his head. Although his expression was casual as usual, his eyes showed a rare seriousness. "But the problem is, if we insist on taking action."
"The World Government might threaten our Marines with 'food shortages'..."
"There's no need to worry about this issue."
Just when the generals' faces were gloomy, Rogge suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned their eyes to him, but saw that Rogge did not explain much. He just had a calm and confident smile on his lips, as if he was confident.
Sakazuki stood up suddenly, his whole body erupting with a violent aura like lava. The entire conference room seemed to be in the center of a volcano, and the air was so hot that it was suffocating.
"Marine, I will never compromise with anyone again!"
"If they dare to stop me—"
His eyes flashed with an almost fanatical determination, "Let's settle accounts with them as well!"
At this time, Ian quickly handed over the latest intelligence: "Everyone, according to our latest intelligence, the forces of the Revolutionary Army are fully assembled in the Kingdom of Kamabaka. It seems that Long is very likely to take advantage of the World Summit to launch an operation."
Kizaru heard this and a playful smile played on his face. "Oh wow! Are the Revolutionary Army going to take advantage of this situation too? This is really troublesome."
"If the Revolutionary Army and the Four Emperors attack at the same time..."
Sakazuki sneered, and his cloak suddenly rose up like a burning flame.
"If they dare to jump out, let's deal with them together!"
"Marine's current strength is enough to handle a three-way war at the same time!"
"Rogge, the battlefield of New World is yours to command!"
"Kizaru, Fujitora, you will lead the fleet to garrison Mariejois and guard against a surprise attack by the revolutionary army."
"The rest of the troops, stand by at all times and prepare for all-out war!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he punched down hard, and the molten force of the fist instantly imprinted the Marine logo on the steel conference table forever.
His voice was as strong as steel and as fiery as a volcano:
"From this moment on, Marine officially enters 'absolute annihilation' mode!"
"Whether it's the New World, the World Government, or the Revolutionary Army—"
"All threats will be completely crushed!"
He suddenly turned his head and scanned the generals with a cold gaze:
"Because justice—does not allow any compromise!"
"This era will end with Marine himself!"
Marine Headquarters Rogge Admiral Office
The heavy steel door was closed, and only a dim light on the desk illuminated the room.
The core combat force of G5 sat in front of the tactical sand table, each of them had a cold fighting spirit on their face.
Rogge stood in front of the sand table, pressing his fingers hard on the model of the New World "Wanokuni".
"Kaido—must die."
His voice was low and cold, and the air twisted slightly at his fingertips, as if even the space was responding to his murderous intent.
Zephyr's phoenix flames burned in his pupils.
"Kaido's 'Hundred Beasts Army' is indeed tough, but it is not invincible."
Lei Te's Haki flowed on the peak of his fist, "Kaido, the world's strongest creature? I want to try!"
Enel crossed his legs, lightning dancing around him.
"Huh... just 'the strongest creature'?"
"In front of this 'God', you are nothing but a flying lizard."
Luo's surgical field expanded slightly, marking several spatial coordinates on the sand table.
"Kaido's 'Ghost Island' is heavily defended, but ROOM allows us to directly raid the core."
"As long as the decapitation is successful, the Beast Army will collapse on its own!"
Huangmu grinned, and vines emerged from his sleeves and wrapped around the sand table.
"Laozi has long wanted to see if the 'Sen Sen Fruit' can drain a dragon's blood!"
Rogge's eyes swept over everyone, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised into a cold arc.
"It seems... everyone can't wait?"
"Then let Kaido see—"
"What do you mean by 'absolute justice' hunting?"
Just when everyone was getting excited, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
The intelligence officer walked in quickly and handed over an urgent war report with a strange look on his face.
"Report!"
"Beasts Pirates just declared war on the G5 to the world!"
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, Huang Mu was the first to laugh out loud:
"This stupid dragon... is he drunk?"
Enel sneered, and lightning danced on the scepter:
"Looks like we don't need to look for him anymore."
Rogge stood up slowly, a cold arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Just right."
"It saves us the trouble of declaring war."
"Since he's seeking death..."
"Then let the whole world see—"
"The consequences of challenging 'absolute justice'!"
He slammed his fist on the sand table, and the entire "Wanokuni" model collapsed!
"Three days later, target—Ghost Island!"
"In this battle, no prisoners will be taken!"
"Doesn't Kaido like 'war'?"
"Then let him see the real 'war machine' of the Marine!"
