Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

The Five Elders, their faces flushed red, roared:

"Sengoku, what a mess your navy has made! They actually managed to destroy Impel Down, the underwater prison! Do you know how much damage this will do to the World Government's prestige?!"

"And with the fall of Sabaody Archipelago, are they planning to hand over Mary Geoise to the Beasts Pirates as well?!"

Sengoku's face twitched, his expression turning ugly, but he was too lazy to argue with the Five Elders, and coldly said:

"The way things have developed is entirely my responsibility as the Admiral of the Navy. I'm here to resign!"

Steel Bone was immediately alarmed and advised:

"Sengoku, if you resign, who will take command of the navy?"

The Warring States period had already figured out the answer to this question, saying:

"Aokiji, I recommend Admiral Kuzan to succeed me as Fleet Admiral!"

After Sengoku resigned to take responsibility, the Five Elders' anger gradually subsided.

However, the Five Elders did not approve of the candidates recommended for the Warring States period.

The bald old man said:

"I've heard that Sakazuki made the greatest contribution in this war against Whitebeard. Doesn't he seem more qualified to be the Fleet Admiral than Kuzan?"

Sengoku was well aware of this; it was just that his beliefs differed from Akainu's.

Furthermore, Garp, an old comrade-in-arms and friend, harbors hatred towards Akainu. If Akainu were to become Fleet Admiral, the situation would become quite complicated.

Therefore, the Warring States period did not hesitate to say:

"I still recommend Kuzan!"

The Five Elders thought for a moment and said:

"Let's discuss this later. The key now is to retake the Sabaody Archipelago. We absolutely cannot allow the Beasts to stab us in the heart!"

“Steelbow Sky, you will personally lead the attack on Sabaody Archipelago this time. I will make sure CP0 cooperates with you.”

"Sengoku, return to Marineford immediately, reorganize the available naval forces, and head towards Sabaody!"

Upon hearing this, the Warring States period loudly argued:

"The navy has just ended a war, and the entire force is exhausted. They need at least a few days to rest. Setting off now is too urgent!"

The Five Elders didn't give Sengoku a chance to argue, after all, Lord Im had given a death order.

If they can't take back Chambord, all five of them might have to move their heads.

As for the marines' fatigue, they'll have to fight to the death to keep up with me even if they're exhausted!

In the eyes of the Five Elders, what did the lives of ordinary marines matter? They were nothing more than lowly slaves.

They wouldn't care if thousands or tens of thousands died.

The Five Elders said in an unyielding manner:

"The attack on Sabaody must begin immediately, without the slightest delay!"

195. An army of 50,000 is attacking! Shiryu and Jinbe consume Dragon-level monster cells!

Suppressing his anger, Sengoku returned to Marineford.

Although he had long guessed that the Five Elders would urge him to attack Sabaody after the Marineford War.

But not even a day or two to rest for him was beyond his original expectations.

Looking at the devastation in Marineford, the port square was completely destroyed, and a huge crack had appeared in the middle of the naval headquarters building.

These losses are nothing compared to the casualties among the marines.

Of the 100,000 marines, most were wounded, and as many as 10,000 to 20,000 died.

Standing in the square of Marineford, the pungent smell of blood filled my nostrils, and the painful cries of wounded soldiers filled my ears.

Some of the families of the fallen soldiers lay on the cold, lifeless bodies, wailing and weeping.

That's war—a merciless meat grinder, a cold-blooded executioner.

The weak, who have no strength, don't even know how they died.

Sengoku clenched his fists tightly. Faced with such a bleak situation, how could he possibly ask the marines to go and participate in the next, even more terrible war?!

"Those despicable Five Elders! They don't care about the lives of marines at all!"

Sengoku's eyes turned red with rage, and he became completely enraged, even cursing the Five Elders.

Kong, who was following behind Sengoku, quickly covered Sengoku's mouth, glanced around, and whispered:

"Sengoku, are you out of your mind! Saying such things would be severely punished, even for you!"

The Warring States period grew increasingly enraged, and he roared at the top of his lungs:

"What can they do? At worst, they'll just take my old life!"

"Commander-in-Chief, you were once a naval admiral, don't you know about the current casualties in the navy?"

The steel skeleton stood silent, letting out a deep sigh.

How could he not sympathize with the marines' casualties?

But what good is sympathy? It's all in vain.

The Five Elders gave a strict order that they must obey, or it would be tantamount to betraying the World Government.

No one can bear such consequences.

Steel Bone Kong comforted him:

"In the Warring States period, the navy only needs to send out those uninjured sailors. I will replenish the remaining forces from other departments."

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kong Ganggu held power even greater than that of the Warring States period.

He can mobilize troops from other departments of the World Government.

After his initial anger, the Warring States period quickly calmed down.

Bearing the so-called mission of justice, he could only follow the orders of the Five Elders.

Zhan Guoqiang roused himself, thanked Gang Gu Kong, and went to gather the army.

He gathered about 20,000 uninjured marines.

In terms of high-end combat power, it's Aokiji and Kizaru.

The most radical Akainu will not participate in the war to attack Sabaody Archipelago.

On one hand, Akainu was seriously injured in his previous battle with Whitebeard and is currently receiving treatment.

on the other hand,

Sengoku's personal motive was that he didn't want Akainu to achieve any more merits, otherwise the chances of Aokiji becoming the Fleet Admiral would undoubtedly become even lower.

Steelbone Sky, on the other hand, has gathered 30,000 troops, bringing the total to 50,000.

To be able to assemble such a large army in such a short time, and with the Marineford War just ended, is truly remarkable.

The only entity capable of doing this on this vast ocean is the World Government.

Followed by.

Under the leadership of Kong and Sengoku, the 50,000-strong army marched in a mighty procession toward Xiangbo.

Simultaneously,

Steelbone Sky also called CP0 leader, Peach Rabbit, Tea Pig and others, telling them to wait for the army to arrive before taking action together.

The smoke of war has once again filled the sky.

……

……

Chambord Islands.

Having anticipated the attack from the Navy and the World Government, Luo Xing naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom.

With Moria's arrival and the arrival of Thriller Bark, the undead zombie army aboard it occupied Sabaody Archipelago.

With the addition of the Impel Down criminal legion newly subdued by Luo Xing, the force reached approximately ten thousand.

Although they only outnumber the Navy by one-fifth, don't forget that these people have all consumed monster cells, making each one capable of taking on ten opponents.

Furthermore, they were fearless and extremely ferocious.

However, just to be on the safe side, Luo Xing still planned to further enhance the strength of his subordinates.

He summoned Shiryu, Jinbe, the Evil King, Crescent Moon Hunter, Big Barrel, and Giant Battleship—six people in total.

Zoro, Enel, and Moria were positioned on either side of Luo Xing.

Luo Xing glanced at the six people and said in a calm voice:

"You are about to start a war with the World Government. You are strong, but not strong enough."

"I have quite a few monster cells on me right now, do you want to eat them?"

Shiliu and his six companions' eyes immediately lit up.
