"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the Buster Call fleet led by Admiral Akainu has assembled!"
Now, at the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Inside the magnificent Fleet Admiral's office, Adjutant Brannew reported loudly: "Because Dressrosa is not far from the G-5 branch, there's no problem in the logistics support…"
"The fleet is ready to set off at any time to the Dressrosa to destroy the Netherworld Pirate and the Riku Royal Family that is in league with Obask Luke!"
"Tell Akainu that this Buster Call operation is different from the Ohara operation in the West Blue. Try not to hurt innocent people by mistake!" Sengoku said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
He knew that the World Government wanted to not only nip the threat of the Netherworld Pirates in the bud.
They also wanted to eliminate the series of bad deeds of Obask Luke, who caused chaos in Enies Lobby, invaded the Impel Down, and emptied it.
Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, also usurped Dressrosa.
In order to restore their prestige, they must avoid the adverse effects brought about by events such as the fall of the warlord.
They could even kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, just to intimidate other affiliated countries in the New World and warn them not to think that the World Government can do nothing to them if they collude with the pirates in the New World.
Moreover, the threat posed by the Netherworld Pirates is indeed becoming more serious.
Not only did they take away tens of thousands of extremely vicious prisoners held in the Impel Down.
It is also suspected that they have mastered a method to plunder the Devil Fruit abilities of others.
They really can't just leave it alone any longer.
Time is running out.
What if the Netherworld Pirates really use those prisoners?
If the prisoners on those floors were willing to surrender, it would be a huge trouble and potential threat to the Marines.
After all, they are all powerful criminals who have committed all kinds of evil, so they are imprisoned in Impel Down.
They must not give Obask Luke the opportunity to subdue and reorganize those prisoners.
This is the main reason why he, the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, did not argue with the top leaders of the World Government but directly agreed to this action.
"Where is Borsalino? How is his injury?"
In fact, Sengoku did not want Kizaru to go into battle with injuries.
But with Float-Float Fruit on the other side, they can come and go like the wind. If Kizaru, the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, is not holding him back, the Netherworld Pirates might be able to escape.
Fortunately, within the World Government, there are medical-type Devil Fruit users who specialize in serving the world's nobles.
Under the coordination of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and with the approval of the top leaders of the World Government, Kizaru was able to go to the Holy Land hospital for treatment.
With these doctors using the power of their devil fruit to treat and regulate his condition, Kizaru's injuries recovered faster, and he didn't have to lie down for ten days or half a month.
Furthermore, it would take at least three days for the Buster Call fleet to reach Dressrosa from the G-1 branch.
As long as he rests on the warship, his condition should be much better.
"After recuperation at the Holy Land, although Admiral Kizaru's injuries have not fully recovered so quickly, they are no longer serious…"
Brannew responded: "It is said that he can be deployed!"
"Then let him stay in the fleet secretly for now and don't show up for the time being… We'll act based on the situation!"
Sengoku pondered for a moment.
The decision has been made.
This time's Buster Call concerns the reputation of the Marines and the World Government.
Failure is not an option.
As long as the Netherworld Pirates had not yet escaped before the Marines arrived, he was sure that they could completely wipe out the Netherworld Pirates, and at the very least, they would take back the prisoners of the Impel Down.
If it weren't for the lack of time.
He was actually planning to summon the remaining Warlords of the Sea to join the war.
After all, two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea fell into the hands of Obask Luke at once.
The remaining Warlords, he believes, are more or less unable to sit still.
By then, they may not be unwilling to contribute.
"Understood!"
… … …
On the sea next to Dressrosa, there was a loud bang that shook the earth.
Boom!
A huge deserted island that is not much smaller than Dressrosa but with sparse vegetation and bare land falls down.
In an instant, huge waves arose and surged in all directions.
"Ah, ah…"
"Gulp! Is that for real?"
"They actually moved an island away…"
"It's simply too much…"
"What a power this is!"
In the town, looking at the island that suddenly fell from the sky and landed steadily next to Dressrosa and the turbulent sea.
Countless citizens could not help but open their mouths wide and were unable to close them for a long time.
Not to mention the lower-class people like them.
Even though they already knew how exaggerated Shiryu's abilities were.
But when they really saw such a scene, even Law, Kidd, Killer, Nami, Perona, and other cadres of the Netherworld Pirates were shocked.
It has to be said that the ability of the Float-Float Fruit does have a unique advantage in this regard.
"Collect a few more small islands and hide them tens of thousands of meters above the sea. When the Marines fleet arrives, we will throw them over the Marines's heads to give them a little pre-war baptism first!"
Luke chuckled and said to Shiryu.
With the presence of Admiral Aokiji, who possesses the Ice-Ice Fruit, the Buster Call fleet cannot be completely destroyed.
But it would not be useless to give them a hard blow so that these marines would lose some of their troops before they even reach their destination to fight.
At least before an all-out war breaks out, they can deal a severe blow to the Marines's morale.
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Shiryu smiled, thinking of the upcoming battle; he couldn't help but lick his lips.
There was a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, and he seemed eager to try.
The ability of the Float-Float Fruit really makes him feel addicted.
The feeling that he's omnipotent and can do whatever he wants really makes him feel a little bit elated.
Suppose Luke's ability wasn't so terrifying that it made people completely lose the courage to resist. In that case, he might actually have the idea of leaving the Netherworld Pirates and working on his own.
Of course, this is just a thought.
There is no other reason if he really dared to betray Luke.
Even if he could escape to the ends of the earth with the power of the Float-Float Fruit, as long as he was still in this world, he would not be able to escape the shadows that are everywhere.
Sooner or later, he will be found by the all-pervasive black Shadowkhan Army.
Maybe he won't even know how you died.
This monster, who is both incredibly young and incredibly strong, can really bestow power upon his subordinates, and it's not just talk.
"But Luke-sama, I have just obtained the power of the Float-Float Fruit, and the power I can exert is limited. I am still far from being as good as Shiki…"
Dispelling those random thoughts from his mind, Shiryu stayed there to remind him: "Even if I put down the Thriller Bark and those fleets, I can only control four or five islands at the same time!"
"Four or five seats? That's a little short…"
Luke frowned.
But this was also within his expectations.
After all, it has only been a short time since Shiryu obtained the Float-Float Fruit, so it is already very good to be able to achieve this level.
"But it's barely enough to show our power… After all, I don't expect to be able to destroy the entire Marines fleet in one go."
