Top War …
But this is on the premise that those pirates will not be united like now.
Yonkō (Four Emperors), Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea), and Marine (Marine), the three major forces that used to be balanced, but the first two of these three major forces are all pirates, and the difference is that they are not a whole.
Shichibukai is the Seven Great Pirates, and they are all silver medalists in the New World. Yonkō (Four Emperors) are four sea emperors, each of which can be taken seriously by Marines.
Now, although Shichibukai is under Kuro, the Fourth Emperor is gone, and the so-called new Fourth Emperor is missing two. It is easier to deal with him than before, but there is a problem now.
That is, they are in an all-out war with New World’s pirates. Marine’s elites are all there, including a Admiral, which stabilized the battle line. It is a little difficult to take out troops to deal with two New Yonkō (Four Emperors) at this time.
Crane said, “If you personally lead the team and Kuzan is back now, we can try to advance the front line…”
“We don’t have that much time, Granny Crane.”
Kuro said, “I estimate that it will take at least three years to see the results of what you said. It will take five years to slowly force the pirates down and completely destroy their arrogance. It will take seven years to estimate. There can’t be any big mistakes in between. For example, another straw hat-like person will stir up trouble in the sea. It will take too long, but the higher-ups will only give me one year. You know about this. The Revolutionary Army has launched an all-out attack at this time. I don’t have that much time, so I can only take an unconventional approach.”
He took out a cigar box and picked up a cigar from it and bit it in his mouth. After lighting it, he exhaled and said, “It’s good that the battle line is maintained and slowed down appropriately. Pirates can’t really form a force. As long as we get rid of Straw Hat and Blackbeard, we can slowly do the rest.”
Pirates will not disappear. This is caused by this sea. The so-called end of the era of pirates is only the end of the most threatening pirates, but this is enough.
“Let Kuzan go to the front line. He is an old Marine, he must have a leader in command. Granny Crane, you have to suffer. Now you can’t retreat, you still have to go to the front line to suppress it. Then transfer Laughing over and let him and me complete this big decisive battle… As for the other personnel, think of a way.” Kuro said as he blew out smoke.
The current personnel are too difficult to move.
A famous Vice-Admiral has to guard an important node of the New World and cannot move easily. The same goes for those Marine elites. There are probably not many that can be deployed.
But …
“In terms of personnel, we may not be as good as the last War Of The Best, but in terms of configuration… we will not be weak this time!”
Kuro’s eyes were fierce. “I am different from Sengoku. I will fight personally. No matter how many people the other side sends, I can deal with them!”
Unlike Sengoku, Sengoku’s strategic goal at that time was only Whitebeard and Ace’s execution. Everything else can be released. This time, Kuro wants to catch them all in one fell swoop, so he will not care about the terrain.
“I will tell the higher-ups that this Headquarters will not exist anymore. This time, I will not hold back, no matter who the other party is.”
Crane sighed. “It’s good that you have an idea. Then… I, an old woman, will play another game. I was about to leave, but I wanted to ask if you could take over my position as Chief of Staff.”
Tina was one of them. As a direct descendant of Crane, she was the most qualified, but her qualifications were a little lacking.
As for Kuro’s subordinate, Crow, he has both wisdom and strength. If Kuro wants him, Crow can take over directly.
“Now is not the time to talk about this. Everything will wait until the end of the war. Granny He, you have to help me coordinate. My direct descendants will directly participate in the decisive battle. As for the remaining people, you will dispatch and coordinate. I don’t need too many people because I don’t need to defend, I just need to attack. I don’t even need the weak, I only need the strong. This time, I want to focus on the elite battle!”
Straw Hat had very few crew members, so there was no need for Kuro to increase his manpower for them, but he also wanted some people to prevent Tiki, but if there were too many people, it would actually hinder Kuro’s own performance.
He had this thought the last time he fought Blackbeard in G-3.
There are too many people, which prevents me from carrying out indiscriminate destruction.
He is not like Logia, who can set the attack range in an area. If the area is too small, it will be powerless.
However, if they are all Marine Admirals, or even the most central group of Marines, they will be fine because they will avoid them. Kuro does not need to have too many scruples.
“You are going to put all the burden on yourself…” Crane sighed and said, “What if you fail?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”
Kuro put his eyes forward and looked at the sky through the big balcony and said lightly, “It is absolutely impossible for me to fail. You are also an old man and know the power of Golden Lion, but he was too petty back then. As a pirate, he was worried about the World Government. I am a Marine, I don’t need to worry. Just let the people around me retreat, with Headquarters as the center, all the way to the diameter of Mariejois, don’t leave anyone.”
Crane was silent for a while and shook his head with a smile. “You are also the only one in the Marine. It’s a pity that this power is not used.”
This was indeed the case. Kuzan and Sakasugi, including the old man, had the all-round ability to harm the sea. Kuzan’s ability can freeze the sea and allow ordinary people to walk in a straight line for three to five days and maintain it for a week.
This powerful Logia was not shown during the War of the Best.
Because there were a lot of Marines at that time and they had concerns.
Things are different now. Kuro simply doesn’t want anyone. As long as it’s those elites, such as Smoker, he doesn’t believe that anyone can take Red Hair away from him.
Kuro would not give this opportunity. Red Hair could not be killed at the beginning. He had to make Straw Hat show up and go deeper. At that time, he would kill Red Hair and have a decisive battle with Straw Hat. In that case, there was a high chance that Blackbeard would come, but it was only a probability. For this, Kuro had to prepare something to ensure that Blackbeard would come.
Once the two men are taken care of, Kuro completes his mission as Marshal.
Suffering is only a short time. Once it is resolved, he can enjoy life without worries.
