Chapter 100: War preparation—

"Hahaha, great, Captain Roger, you will be able to return to this world." Seeing that his reward turned out to be an item to revive others, Shanks was full of excitement.

"How can you get such a good thing?" Roger looked at the words of the Golden List with interest, "However, the Marine and World Government won't allow me to be resurrected so easily, right?"

"Moreover, there may be challenges from others.

At this moment, it has not been 24 hours since Shanks Summon Roger, so Roger still stays in this world.

"Don't worry, Captain Roger." Shanks smiled confidently. "I'm not so easy to be defeated."

As one of the youngest Four Emperors, Shanks does have the capital to be proud of.

And with his arm recovery, Shanks's strength went a step further. He didn't think any challenger could beat him.

As long as he persists for a month, he will definitely be able to bring back to life the captain he once respected most.

"Wahahaha~ That's a speech of a strong man. My former trainee crew has really grown a lot." Roger laughed, "But I'm very satisfied to be able to meet you like this and talk to other people on the Golden List."

"As for whether I can be resurrected, it is not very important."

"If you really get this resurrection item, resurrect Ace's mother."

"I owe the mother and child too much, at least I can let her meet her grown-up son."

Roger naturally wanted to be resurrected. His previous illness left him with a lot of things to do before he died.

If he can come back to this world and make up for his previous regrets, it will be very good. But more than himself, Roger hoped that his wife could be resurrected.

"It's really what you can say, Captain." Shanks sighed. "If Marine knows what you wish, they will be relieved."

"The premise is that they are willing to believe." Roger laughed.

"Damn it, why does Shanks's scheduled reward be a designated resurrection item!?"

"And using it, Shanks' own strength won't be consumed?! 

At Naval Headquarters, Sengoku's eyes widened the moment he saw Shanks's scheduled reward.

Unconsciously, his fists were already tightly clenched.

"I thought that Shiki's reward was troublesome enough, but now it seems that Shanks's reward is the most troublesome." He sighed heavily, "Roger from Shanks Summoning hasn't left yet."

"That fellow Roger should be quite happy to see this reward."

"We must find a way to stop Shanks, we must not let him bring Roger back to life!" Sengoku's eyes were bloodshot, "There can be no such thing as Pirate King in this world."

Sengoku knew that even if Roger's strength was lost after being resurrected, with his talent, he would definitely be able to get his strength back.

At that time, Sengoku did not want to think about what the Pirate King would do.

He only knew that once Roger was resurrected, the balance maintained by the three forces of Four Emperors, Shichibukai, and Marines would be instantly broken.

Everything will be redefined.

"Sengoku, do you need to declare war on Shanks?" Zephyr asked, "If Shanks can be killed in the real world, he will naturally not get resurrection items."

In the face of Roger who may be resurrected, even Zephyr, who has retired to the second line, is ready to go to the battlefield.

"It won't be that easy." Tsuru shook her head, "In order to keep Shanks' reward and bring Roger back to life, those old people who have already retired will also come out."

"At least, Rayleigh, who has already recovered his peak power, will return."

"To face so many legendary characters, the Marines must be prepared to pay a heavy price."

"In addition, even if Shanks dies, this reward is likely to fall on Rayleigh, who is one level lower than Shanks.

"We must at least be prepared to eliminate the two of them together."

"During this period, other Four Emperors pirate groups will have to consider what moves they will have."

Hearing Tsuru's words, Zephyr frowned tightly.

Fighting against Shanks is not like the war of top that appeared on the golden list where their home game is at Naval Headquarters.

If there is a war with Shanks, the location will inevitably be in Shanks's territory. At that time, it will not be Marine that will be fully prepared, but Red Hair Pirates.

Thinking of this, Sengoku felt a splitting headache.

"Sigh, get ready to summon the Shichibukai."

"Get all Marines ready."

"If Shanks maintains that position when the Swordsman List close, we will declare war on Red Hair Pirates."

"Even if there is a loss, the Pirate King must never be returned to this world."

After a long silence, Sengoku's low voice reached every Marine on the scene's ears.

[Tl/n: It's quite hard to maintain 5 chapters a day when I'm busy in IRL so the update is going to be 1-2 chapters again. +2 chapters per 1k stones.]
