My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

"It's impossible to provoke me like this."

Crocodile listened to Annan's words and said indifferently.

There is no doubt that Crocodile was an extremely confident and inflated person in the past, but the various events he experienced in Alabasta and Impel Down have made him much more restrained now.

"Shalan!"

Crocodile and Annan were in a stalemate for a while. Crocodile used his Observation Haki to sense that Luffy and others had left the square. He gathered a sandstorm in his hand and threw it forward. In an instant, the wind became violent and a large amount of sand and gravel filled the air around Annan.

"It will do me no good to fight you to the end. You should think about how to deal with Whitebeard, Marine."

By the time Annan had dispersed the sandstorm, there was no trace of Crocodile, and Luffy and the others had also disappeared.

There was a hint of red in Annan's eyes, and he quickly locked onto Crocodile's breath. Next to Crocodile, there was a familiar person - Doflamingo.

"They are all unstable factors." Annan shook his head.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy are both subordinate institutions of the World Government. They will neither execute nor listen to the orders of the Navy.

In essence, they are also pirates, and as pirates, they are an unstable factor on the battlefield.

Maybe in the end it will be a big deal for the navy.

Annan observed the five Shichibukai for a while. Except for Kuma, the other four were just paddling. Hancock seemed to notice Annan's gaze and glared at him fiercely.

"Just do nothing, it's better than betraying us." Annan ignored Hancock's eyes that seemed to want to tear him into pieces and walked towards the execution platform.

-----------------

On the execution platform, Sengoku saw Jinbe leaving the square with Luffy, whose life or death was unknown. He glanced at Garp below and felt relieved.

Faced with the strong pressure from the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy could not concentrate too many troops to besiege Luffy alone. However, the Navy below the Vice Admiral could not stop Luffy at all. If it weren't for Annan, Luffy would most likely end up on the execution platform.

"Fortunately, Annan stopped Straw Hat Luffy and prevented the situation from getting worse."

Sengoku stared at the battle below, and even though he had defeated Luffy, his expression was still a little gloomy.

At this moment, Akainu is trying his best to stop Whitebeard in the square, while Aokiji is caught in a joint confrontation with Marco and Joz. At the same time, the vice admirals of the navy are also engaged in a fierce fight with the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The situation on the battlefield was stalemate, both sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to immediately determine the winner. Zhan Guo was in urgent need of someone who could break the balance of the battlefield and end the war. Although he had many candidates in mind, unfortunately, they were either unable to be contacted or were not reliable enough.

"I don't know what happened to Borsalino in the rear, and I can't get in touch with him. And I can't get in touch with Esdeath either."

Sengoku frowned, "As for the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

He looked down and saw that the Shichibukai, who should have been the deciding factor in the outcome, had chosen to sit back and wait, and not take any action.

Although the agreement for recruiting the Seven Warlords of the Sea clearly specified the task of dealing with Whitebeard and his pirate group, these Seven Warlords of the Sea were clearly not putting in any effort, and Sengoku had no way to deal with it.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, now that the plan has reached this stage, should we order the outer warships to come over?"

Annan then walked up to the execution platform and reminded.

According to the Navy's plan, once the pirates landed, the outer navy warships would take the opportunity to destroy all the pirate ships of the Whitebeard Pirates and cut off their escape route. In this way, even if they were lucky enough to rescue Ace from the execution platform, they would not be able to leave Marinford.

"That's right, it's time to move on to the next step." Zhan Guo nodded.

"Notify the outer warships to destroy all non-navy ships around Marinford!"
