Benedict knew the World Government certainly had hidden powers.
However, what Benedict did not expect was how suddenly they appeared and how great their counterattack's intensity was.
In this operation, according to the returned statistics, Xuanwu Navy had over ten thousand personnel lost, with over ten thousand more injured to varying degrees.
A cumulative casualty count of nearly twenty-five thousand. While it wouldn't be a crippling blow to the Xuanwu Navy, it was still a significant number.
With the current daily summoning of 500 special forces, it would take fifty days to replenish the ranks.
"Bai Qi, how are the arrangements?" Benedict's clone entered the conference room, looking at Bai Qi standing before the sand table and inquiring.
The conference room was also the operations room, designed for unified command during large-scale battles.
Therefore, it was equipped with numerous Den Den Moshis, with dedicated personnel stationed before each one.
Additionally, there was a large sand table, a replica of the current pirate world map.
Flags were planted on the sand table, indicating which territories were occupied or controlled by the Xuanwu Navy.
Through some flags, the current locations of Xuanwu Navy warships could even be determined, allowing for timely deployment.
"All units are in position. We are currently awaiting the latest intelligence before launching the attack."
This was Bai Qi's first true military deployment.
Therefore, Bai Qi was taking this operation very seriously.
Benedict nodded. Benedict had some anticipation for this operation.
This time, he intended to deliver a painful blow to the World Government and annihilate the cyborg forces.
"Report!"
A colonel entered with documents and handed the data to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi examined it carefully, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and said sternly, "West Blue, inform Admiral Ken-sen to pay attention to the Reverse Flow Sea Domain, and be ready to advance to Qin Island. Also, have Vice Admiral Yelusji bypass the Reverse Flow Sea Domain and head to Lasse Mountain to bombard it, pinning down the pirates there."
"Understood!"
"South Blue, dispatch Vice Admiral Gamawashi, Vice Admiral Berserker..."
"Understood!"
"North Blue, dispatch Admiral Kenshiro..."
Benedict's clone stood to the side, watching as Bai Qi continuously deployed and commanded troops. As the sand table changed and the situation shifted, various areas were cordoned off.
North Blue, South Blue, and West Blue received the orders, and respective naval forces moved swiftly.
This operation deployed a total of 120,000 troops across the three seas.
This was not merely to strike the cyborg forces but also an opportunity to showcase their strength.
If they were going to fight, they would do it spectacularly.
As the Xuanwu Navy mobilized its forces, the World Government was also working to mobilize its own.
These forces included pirates, marines, members of the intelligence organization CP, and other members of the Seven Warlords.
This was a head-on, large-scale collision.
South Blue.
A sea region underestimated by many.
The reason for this was that the highest commander stationed in South Blue was a Vice Admiral, with high-tier combatants countable on one hand.
Despite this, the World Government had dispatched a considerable number of high-tier combat forces.
Among them were Sakazuki and Borsalino.
Kuzan had been redeployed to North Blue.
With Kenshiro in West Blue, facing Kenshiro's terrifying combat power, having Kuzan there to create vast ice surfaces would greatly facilitate combat.
Additionally, Zephyr would personally lead several Vice Admirals to cooperate with the World Government's forces and engage Kenshiro.
In North Blue, Garp led the team, with Vice Admirals such as Onigumo cooperating, and over a hundred CP0 agents standing by.
For the North Blue operation, the World Government had specific intentions regarding the capture of Sakata Gintoki.
The large-scale operations of the Xuanwu Navy and the World Government were carried out with no attempt at concealment, drawing the attention of numerous factions to the various war zones.
"Kaido, have you made up your mind?"
"This is an excellent opportunity."
"Only with Steel Bone Kong as a tough opponent can we take Marineford."
"If that doesn't work, causing utter chaos in Marineford would also be good."
Around Whole Cake Island.
Charlotte Linlin had gathered all her forces. Standing on the deck, she held a Den Den Mushi and spoke with great enthusiasm.
Originally, Charlotte Linlin had not considered attacking Marineford.
However, with Garp and Zephyr both dispatched, and Sengoku, according to intelligence, also having left Marineford.
Although the specific location was unknown, for Charlotte Linlin, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
Charlotte Linlin had not forgotten the death of her son Charlotte Daifuku, nor the humiliation suffered during the previous attack on Marineford.
Therefore, at this moment, Charlotte Linlin only wished to wash away the shame.
"If you want to fight, you fight. I'm busy!" Kaido, with a grim expression, looked at the three figures in black robes standing before him and said impatiently.
After speaking, Kaido hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"How dare you threaten me? Have you had enough of living?" Kaido glared at the three figures in black robes and roared in anger.
"Heh heh!"
"Kaido, this is not a threat, but an order." Facing Kaido's furious gaze and the encroaching Conqueror's Haki, one of the black-robed figures sneered dismissively.
"Order, my ass." Kaido roared, instantly transforming into his dragon-human form, wielding his club and charging towards the three.
"Heh!" One of them chuckled coldly, "Without a little beating, you won't learn to behave."
In just a moment, the four were locked in fierce battle on Onigashima, causing immense commotion.
Whole Cake Island.
Charlotte Linlin did not expect Kaido to refuse so bluntly.
Her expression became extremely displeased.
Charlotte Katakuri and the other ministers remained silent, not daring to speak or offer any suggestions.
"Mother, someone from the World Government has arrived."
Just then, Charlotte Smoothie approached and whispered.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes instinctively turned into the distance.
On the deck of a warship stood three members of the World Government's intelligence agency, also CP0 agents.
However, they were currently blocked by people below, preventing them from advancing.
"Bring them over," Charlotte Linlin said indifferently after a glance.
Moments later, the warship drew closer, and a CP0 agent wearing a black mask, holding a parchment, threw it over.
Charlotte Katakuri flashed and caught it.
"This is a document personally entrusted and requested to be delivered by hand to Charlotte Linlin by our superior."
"Only Charlotte Linlin is permitted to view it."
The CP0 agent's voice rang out. Charlotte Katakuri, who was about to examine it, stopped and looked towards his mother, Charlotte Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin heard this and looked somewhat surprised, then spoke with displeasure, "What scheme are the Five Elders playing at?"
"Are they trying to recruit us?"
"How ridiculous?"
Conqueror's Haki erupted, precisely suppressing the three CP0 agents, yet they remained unmoving, unaffected.
Facing Charlotte Linlin's displeasure.
One of them spoke with a hint of mockery, "This is the superior's game."
"At this time, you must not act rashly."
"This is an order."
With that said, the warship began to withdraw and sail away.
"Insolent!"
Charlotte Linlin was extremely displeased by the words "This is an order."
She was almost entering a berserk state.
"You had best look at that document first."
"Of course, if you choose to ignore it, the consequences are your own."
Facing the about-to-berserk Charlotte Linlin, the CP0 agents showed no fear and instead issued a reminder.
The CP0's reminder did not calm Charlotte Linlin down at all.
The battle erupted instantly.
