The Emperor Descend Pirate Crew is going to conquer the Big Mom Pirates!
Doflamingo's heart suddenly stirred, a look of horror appearing on his face. At the same time, his heart surged. Had the Emperor Descend finally bared its fangs?
If Charlotte Linlin and the Emperor Descend went to war, the ones who would be happy were not the other Four Emperors, nor the Marines, nor even the World Government.
It was Doflamingo.
Long before this, Doflamingo had thoroughly offended Charlotte Linlin. The last time Ye Chen let Charlotte Linlin off, he had regretted it for a while.
"Lord Ye Chen, I understand!" Doflamingo respectfully said. The Emperor Descend Pirate Crew's expedition against the Big Mom Pirates was not something he could participate in. Ye Chen's words clearly expressed this point.
Doflamingo's only role was to spread the news.
After hanging up the telepathic call, Ye Chen turned around, his gaze sweeping over his subordinates one by one, a calm smile playing on his lips.
"Come, let's wipe the Big Mom Pirates from this sea."
The news spread, and the sea shook.
After Doflamingo relayed the message, the first reaction of countless people who heard the news was the same as Doflamingo's first reaction: shock, and also a keen interest in the Emperor Descend and the Emperor's "Thanos"-like approach.
Would the Emperor Descend win, or would the Emperor triumph? Moreover, the Emperor Descend and Charlotte Linlin had already clashed once, and that time Charlotte Linlin lost.
But this time, would it be the same?
No one knew. Although Charlotte Linlin had lost once, as one of the Four Emperors reigning over the New World, she commanded vast forces, and what she brought last time was only a portion of her strength.
...
The Emperor Descend, a pirate crew reigning over the seas! The most vicious group of pirates ever assembled. The Marines believed their threat level surpassed that of the Roger Pirates.
The Four Emperors pirate crews believed that in a direct confrontation, unless two of the Four Emperors' pirate crews joined forces, setting aside past grievances, it would be impossible to contend with the Emperor Descend.
And today, the Emperor Descend Pirate Crew declared war on the colossal Big Mom of the sea.
Big Mom would absolutely not be able to defeat the Emperor Descend. Perhaps her demise was already a foregone conclusion. What a shocking event it would be for the sea to lose a Four Emperors-level pirate crew.
In the Marine Headquarters office.
"Tsuru, did the Emperor Descend truly declare war on Big Mom?"
Sengoku the Buddha stood up, losing his composure, looking at Tsuru the Great Staff who was reporting the situation to him. His expression was extremely complex, containing relief, powerlessness, and even hatred.
"There's no doubt about it... Doflamingo is a member of the Emperor Descend. The information obtained from Doflamingo's mouth certainly can't be false," Tsuru the Great Staff calmly stated.
"So, next, we will face a crippled, or even completely destroyed, Big Mom... and the Emperor Descend!"
He did not mention the state of the Emperor Descend after this battle.
Both Sengoku and Tsuru the Great Staff clearly knew that even a Four Emperors-level pirate crew from the New World, after a direct confrontation with the Emperor Descend, would achieve a remarkable feat if they could inflict battle damage on the Emperor Descend.
"Good! The Marines are to prepare for battle with all their might. The demise or severe injury of one of the New World's Four Emperors will inevitably trigger the emergence of ambitious individuals.
In this situation, our Marines must be prepared for anything, and no matter the post-war situation, we must intervene in the battlefield at the earliest possible moment." Sengoku the Buddha hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and added,
"Try not to confront the Emperor Descend directly."
If they were to confront the Emperor Descend directly, the Marines would likely suffer heavy losses. If the Emperor Descend were angered and made the same decision as now, if all members of the Emperor Descend Pirate Crew were to directly charge Marine Headquarters, Marineford, then the final outcome for the Marines would likely be extremely tragic.
Even if they weren't completely annihilated, they would still suffer heavy losses. Most importantly, the Marines' prestige would once again be trampled underfoot by the Emperor Descend Pirate Crew.
Such consequences were too severe. In this magnificent Great Pirate Era, every reduction in Marine prestige was something Sengoku could not accept.
"I understand!" Tsuru the Great Staff nodded with a solemn expression.
...
New World.
Red-haired Shanks stroked his chin, gazing towards the sea, his eyes filled with profound depth. He was currently holding a Den Den Mushi, conversing with another renowned figure in the New World.
"Whitebeard, after this battle, I'm afraid the situation on this sea will completely change! Are you ready to welcome the new era?"
Whitebeard's hearty laughter came from the Den Den Mushi, "I've long been ready to welcome the new era, speaking of you, Red-haired Youngster, you must be careful! Don't easily intervene in those two parties' battle."
"I understand!" Red-haired Shanks hung up the Den Den Mushi, his gaze fixed on the distance.
He seemed to recall the moment he first met Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen of the Emperor Descend... truly an extraordinary figure!"
...
At this moment, Ye Chen and the members of his pirate crew were riding on the back of Oshiris the Sky Dragon, flying rapidly towards Whole Cake Island.
Whole Cake Island unexpectedly received the news of Ye Chen's impending arrival, and immediately, Whole Cake Island began to consolidate its forces, preparing to contend with the Emperor Descend's arrival.
As they approached the territory of the Big Mom Pirates, from the back of Oshiris the Sky Dragon, it was evident that there were traces of many pirate ships sailing on the sea.
And the flags of all these pirate crews were the flags of the Big Mom Pirates.
"It seems they're consolidating their forces!" Esdeath gazed at the Big Mom Pirates' flag, a slightly mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.
Each Four Emperors-level pirate crew represented a terrifying force. The reason the Four Emperors pirate crews were powerful was not just their high-end combat power, but also their low-end combat power.
And the low-end combat power consisted of the members on these countless pirate ships. Individually, they might not be strong. But it was precisely because of the countless existences like them that the unshakable foundation of a Four Emperors-level pirate crew was built.
Ye Chen did not speak. Oshiris the Sky Dragon sensed Ye Chen's thoughts and immediately accelerated, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
Oshiris the Sky Dragon rushed towards Whole Cake Island at a speed several times faster than before.
Soon, Oshiris the Sky Dragon arrived directly above Whole Cake Island.
Ye Chen stood up abruptly, a sharp light emanating from his eyes. His calm voice escaped his lips, yet it instantly spread across the entire vast Whole Cake Island.
"Charlotte Linlin, get out! Otherwise, today I will flatten your Whole Cake Island."
