Chapter 26 Carlos’ Plan, Shocking Five Elders

Carlos' words surprised everyone present.

"Destroy the Beasts Pirates? Are you serious, or are you just joking?"

The sword-wielding Five Elders asked suddenly.

From the information before them, they had a clear understanding of the Beasts Pirates' situation.

If the Marines were to deploy two or more Admirals simultaneously, they might have a chance of winning. However, the New World is home to more than one Sea Emperor.

In fact, there are three!

Kaido, Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), and Whitebeard!

All three are former members of the Rocks Pirates. Not only are they extremely powerful, but their forces are also formidable.

In addition to them, the New World is filled with countless pirate groups, large and small, as well as countries not affiliated with the World Government.

The situation is very complex.

If the Marines were to start a large-scale war, who could guarantee that these factions wouldn't join forces?

What if problems arose in the first half of the Grand Line?

Such issues could have far-reaching consequences, so they must be handled with caution.

Everyone looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of them, curious about Carlos' plan.

"Tell us your plan."

"The Five Elders should know the history of Wano better than I do. If you want to bring down Kaido, the Kozuki clan could be a valuable ally."

The sword-wielding Five Elders frowned and said, "The Kozuki clan? According to the information you provided, their leader, Kozuki Oden, was defeated by Kaido and burned alive. His subordinates either escaped or disappeared."

"Not to mention how you'd gain their trust, even if you managed to gather them, it might not make a significant impact."

Saint Satan sighed.

"Yes, an internal rebellion is a good idea, but if the force is too small, it won't be able to shake such a behemoth."

"We also captured Kaido and put him in an experimental base, but he escaped. We sent people to deal with him multiple times, but they all ended in failure. Kaido's strength is beyond your imagination."

The others around him shook their heads.

"Don't forget, you not only have to deal with the Beasts Pirates but also Kurozumi Orochi's samurai group. Relying solely on the remnants of the Kozuki clan leaves little hope."

"Carlos, you're oversimplifying the problem."

Even if Kaido were killed, it would only address the symptoms, not the root cause.

Wano Country is not only home to samurai but is also rich in mineral resources. Its geographical location makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This place must be firmly controlled by the World Government!

The best outcome would be for the World Government to take control of Wano's political power. If not, the goal should be to have Wano join the Allies and side with them.

Carlos' answer left them a bit disappointed.

His ability was impressive, but he still lacked experience in handling such major issues.

Fortunately, he was still young and had considerable room for growth.

Just as the Five Elders were considering this, Carlos' calm voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Of course, the power of the Moonlight Clan alone isn't enough, but what if we add the BIGMOM Pirates into the mix?"

The Five Elders exchanged looks and then shook their heads.

"You mean to provoke a conflict between the two sides and then reap the benefits?"

"That's impossible. You may not know this, but Kaido and Charlotte Linlin used to…"

Carlos interrupted.

"The Five Elders may not be aware, but they have already had a falling out!"

Everyone was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"They've broken up? What happened?"

Although they were interrupted, they weren't annoyed. The news was so shocking that they were momentarily at a loss for words.

Carlos cleared his throat and began to explain slowly.

He started with Smoothie and Snag leading the fleet to block the attack and detailed the confrontation between Kaido and the BIGMOM Pirates at the Wano Country cliff waterfall.

After hearing this, the Five Elders exchanged glances.

They opened their mouths to speak but weren't sure where to begin.

The shock in their hearts was overwhelming, and they struggled to calm down.

The old man holding the sword suppressed his shock and asked seriously, "Is what you're saying true?"

"You can't hide such a thing even if you tried. A little investigation would reveal it."

"Defeating two generals alone, successfully escaping from over fifty battleships, gaining trust as soon as he joined the Beasts Pirates, and Kaido even breaking with Big Mom for you…"

"This is unbelievable!"

Everyone sighed.

Carlos's combat prowess was astonishing, but the fact that he had become a top-level cadre in such a short time was equally impressive.

Each of these events would be an incredible achievement on its own!

Saint Satan took a deep breath.

"Although I don't know how you managed it, your plan does seem to hold promise."

"While continuing to build strength in secret, we should provoke conflicts between the Beasts Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates. Then, when the time is right, we can switch sides and strike during their battle!"

The Five Elders looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"If your plan works, we could eliminate the Beasts Pirates with minimal or no cost!"

Carlos added, "Yes, that's my general idea."

"But I still hope the World Government can provide some support."

Seeing the possibility of eradicating the Beasts Pirates, the Five Elders appeared more relaxed.

Saint Satan smiled and said, "No problem. As long as the request isn't excessive, we can accommodate it."

"I need substantial financial resources and significant public recognition."

He could somewhat guess Carlos's intentions.

It was likely for recruiting subordinates, so he agreed without hesitation.

…

After the call ended, everyone still felt a sense of disbelief.

"What an incredible young man."

"If this succeeds, he could become the leader of CP0 and even achieve greater heights."

"Oh, and there's one more thing."

Saint Satan seemed to remember something.

He picked up the phone again and called the Marine Headquarters.

"Sengoku, unless there's a direct order from the World Government, the Marines should avoid the New World for now. We have other plans. Focus on the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line."

"What? Akainu has led ten warships to the New World? What is he doing?"

"Capture Carlos?"

Everyone looked at each other and shouted loudly:

"No! This guy is now a senior cadre of the Beasts Pirates. Do you know the consequences of rashly starting a war with the Beasts Pirates? It's too risky!"

"Sengoku, don't cause trouble! Stop Akainu immediately!"
