Shock At Naval Headquarters!

At the same time, on the other side, Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

The battle between Bai Ye and the Marine Admirals in the first half of the Grand Line was bound to attract the attention of the whole world. After all, never before had Naval Headquarters dispatched such a formidable array of two Marine Admirals to take on a single enemy.

Even in this special period, Marine did not hesitate to risk being attacked by the Whitebeard Pirates, known as the world's strongest man, in order to make this move. This shows how seriously Naval Headquarters viewed Bai Ye. He must be wiped out as quickly as possible, at any cost! This would send a message to the world about how foolish it is to challenge the Celestial Dragons.

At this moment, Naval Headquarters was naturally the one watching the battle most closely.

"Sengoku, there is no need to worry about things over there. No one in this world can defeat the two most powerful Admirals," said Crane, known as the Great Advisor, standing by the window. Her aged eyes stared at the seemingly calm Naval Headquarters port, though the sea was constantly surging.

"Now, Marine's main focus..." Crane turned to look at Sengoku. "Don't ignore Whitebeard's strategy just because the focus is on the terrifying strength of the world's strongest man."

Sengoku heard the words and gave no rebuttal, instead showing a touch of approval on his face. The most terrifying thing about Whitebeard was his power to destroy the world, but under that incomparable strength, Sengoku knew that Whitebeard was no less dangerous than the Roger Pirates.

Back in the days of Rocks, Roger was one of the most powerful monsters before he was famous! And Whitebeard, if it wasn't for the incredible value of his family, could have easily become the next Pirate King!

"That Whitebeard guy... What the hell is he planning to do next?" Sengoku murmured.

Suddenly, a Marine burst through the door, running with a nervous expression.

Sengoku and Tsuru's hearts sank when they saw him.

Sengoku asked, "What happened? Could it be... Has the strongest man in the world already left? Whitebeard?"

Crane's heart sank too.

The Marine shook his head. "No, it's not..."

Sengoku and Tsuru's expressions changed.

"Not from the Whitebeard Pirates?" Sengoku pressed.

"What happened?!"

The Marine hesitated, then reported, "Yes, our people found another Four Emperors pirate at the entrance of the New World! The opponent is the captain of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido!"

The voice fell.

"What?!" Disbelief welled up in Sengoku's eyes.

"Kaido?!" he shouted. "Isn't he causing chaos in the New World?! Why is he here in the first half of the Grand Line?!"

Crane looked solemn, a bad feeling rising in her heart. "So, where is Kaido now?"

The Marine stammered, "Kaido ignored our Marines and just crossed the Red Line by using his ability to fly."

"Crossing the Red Line?!!!" Sengoku's face twisted in disbelief.

"That guy... what exactly does he want to do? Is he crazy?! Or is it that the Beasts Pirates are gathering to capture the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates? Was that all just a cover?!"

Sengoku's expression shifted rapidly, full of confusion and concern.

"No, with the irresolvable hatred between those two, can Whitebeard and Kaido really be working together?!"

Sengoku couldn't believe Kaido had come to the first half of the Grand Line. Marine had never considered him in their current plans. Kaido's usual antics were limited to the New World. As long as he stayed there, Marine's plans would remain unaffected.

But now, Kaido's sudden arrival was the most impossible move!

Sengoku's face turned extremely serious. The situation had become dire. A single Whitebeard pirate group was already enough to warrant Marine's unprecedented combat power lineup. Now, if Kaido was added to the mix...

Sengoku's heart sank. The severity of the situation was simply overwhelming.

Without hesitation, Sengoku turned to the Marine with a sharp gaze.

"Go! Send Admiral Aokiji, who is already on standby, to stop Kaido! Under no circumstances can Kaido be allowed to disrupt the current plan before Akainu and Kizaru return!"

"What?! Aokiji?!" The Marine's eyes widened in shock.

All three Admirals leaving Naval Headquarters would be an unprecedented event!

If the Whitebeard Pirates took advantage of this...

The Marine's heart trembled, but he nodded. "Yes! Marshal Sengoku!"

As the Marine left, Sengoku's expression remained grim.

"Kaido... What the hell is that crazy guy doing in the first half of the Grand Line? Why didn't he stay in the New World? Could it be that his goal is Naval Headquarters?! Damn it!"

Sengoku clenched his fists. He glanced at Crane.

"By the way, what is the situation with Akainu and Kizaru? Once the target is wiped out, we need them back immediately. Naval Headquarters cannot afford to be without their combat power."

As he spoke, Sengoku saw Crane take out a phone bug and try to contact them. But she didn't respond for a long time.

A bad feeling rose in Sengoku's chest.

"What's going on over there?" Sengoku asked, his voice tense.

Crane didn't respond at first, then set the phone bug down, her face growing unusually serious.

She spoke slowly. "…I'm afraid something happened to Akainu and Kizaru. Sengoku, the Marines who were supposed to keep in contact with them... are no longer available."

"What?!" Sengoku's expression shifted dramatically. He stood up abruptly, recalling the earlier footage of Bai Ye evaporating the sea. He said, "Is that man strong enough to fight two Marine Admirals?! Are you kidding me?!"
