Chapter 222: The Five Emperors Who Didn't Move, The Marine In Panic
"Everyone, move at full speed! Judging from the current intelligence, the meeting point of the target should be near the Sabaody Archipelago. The Commander-in-Chief has brought the Admirals from Enies Lobby! We are the closest to the Sabaody Archipelago, and we must arrive within half an hour!"
On a certain sea area, one warship after another passed by quickly. This group of Marines rushed towards the waters of Sabaody.
In the light curtain of the Ninja World, when this group of warships lined up neatly and sailed across the endless sea, the extraordinary aura could not be described with simple words. It made people feel a sense of surging pressure.
"The army of the opposing world has such a strong ability to mobilize! Such a huge team was organized in such a short time!"
This terrifying ability to act made the Five Kages feel a little ashamed. They felt a lot of pressure. As soon as they thought about it, if the positions of the invading and defending parties were exchanged... It was fine if the rules were the same as this time, but if there were changes in the rules, it would be terrible to let the opponent's army cross over directly. The main military forces of the Five Great Nations were ninjas, and because of their powerful combat effectiveness, the number of ninjas was relatively small. On the other hand, in the opponent's world, even ordinary soldiers had impressive combat effectiveness. Not to mention fighting with guns, even in a comparison of physical fitness, people in the other world were stronger than those in the Ninja World.
"We must extract every possible advantage from this invasion," Hiruzen stated, his voice heavy with concern. "If we fail to strengthen our world now, we will be utterly defenseless when their counter-attack eventually reaches our shores."
Onoki and the others held the same idea. If it was really their turn, this kind of rallying power and action efficiency was something ninjas didn't have! After all, there were too few personnel. There was no fundamental way to quickly mobilize such a large-scale military operation. Ordinary people only felt shocked, but the Five Kages considered the strategic implications.
The scene quickly changed to a deserted island.
Nagato stood on the reef by the sea, staring at the water constantly hitting the island. In the face of the endless waves, this deserted island would be obliterated sooner or later, finally sinking to the bottom of the sea. For a moment, Nagato's thoughts became a little sad. Is a humble existence destined to be submerged by the waves? Can't it survive?
"The other red dot is Madara!" Hashirama, standing on the highest rock on the island, called out to Nagato below.
"That's right," Nagato said without looking back.
Feeling that Nagato's mood was a bit off, Hashirama removed the small light curtain in front of him and looked at his back. "Later, no matter what happens between me and Madara, I hope you don't interfere!"
Hearing this, Nagato looked up at him, feeling curious. "What are you going to do?"
Doing what? Hashirama had no way to answer this question, but he guessed that with Madara's temper, a big battle would probably break out. But at this juncture, if he wanted to fight Madara first, and then think about completing the invasion mission... These words were hard for Hashirama to say. He also knew how many people and how many pairs of eyes were staring at them in the Ninja World. They looked forward to them bringing victory, looked forward to them allowing the Ninja World to continue to exist.
But Hashirama didn't have much choice with Madara! If they didn't have a real fight, he was afraid it would be difficult to sit down and talk with Madara calmly.
"You don't have to worry about this. Just promise me now that no matter what happens later, you will never interfere!"
The request was outlandish, but Hashirama emphasized it a second time. Nagato didn't like to get to the bottom of it, either. The man in front of him was the God of Shinobi; no matter what problems arose, he should be able to solve them.
"Okay! I promise you!" Nagato nodded.
Hashirama finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the light curtain again, he saw that Madara's light spot was approaching rapidly. He would be here in about ten minutes. Hashirama was a little worried; this place should not be discovered too soon! He and Madara needed a little time.
However, his hope would eventually come to nothing. A large number of—Marines—were rushing there in full swing.
"Have the Five Emperors started to move?"
On the fleet departing from Enies Lobby, Commander-in-Chief Kong asked the soldiers beside him.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! The information given by the reconnaissance force states that the floating golden ship, Ark Maxim, has not left the Golden Lion's floating Island!"
Haven't acted yet? What the hell are the Five Emperors doing? Don't they plan to make a move this time? Marine alone was not insecure about defeating the invaders, and the Shichibukai were called in as well. If the three Marine Admirals and the Shichibukai were still fully confident in dealing with the invaders, but the Five Emperors remained silent, what did that mean? Kong couldn't figure it out.
However, at that moment on Sky Island.
Yuichi looked at Big Mom. "How are the preparations?"
Big Mom smiled. "Yuichi, your proposal is simply amazing! With your reminder, they started experimenting and marking different mirrors these days! Most places in the world have already been marked!"
Speaking of which, a capable person walked up to the Five Emperors. This person was none other than a member of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Brulee! Her ability, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, though lacking in attack power, was in Yuichi's eyes an enhanced version of the Door-Door Fruit. With it, mirrors anywhere in the world became passages for entry and exit.
The Five Emperors didn't have to sit around on the Ark Maxim every time. They could appear anywhere without anyone noticing. They just needed to prepare a large enough mirror ahead of time. And a mirror large enough for all the Five Emperors to come and go had already been made in Sabaody. Soon, they would be able to enter and exit Sabaody directly through this mirror!
With this ability, it didn't matter even if the Marines monitored them; as long as they could find the corresponding mirror in the Mirror World, they could reach Sabaody quickly.
"Gu la la la la... Big Mom, you are lucky that you are still a veteran Emperor. You have such a unique daughter under your command, but you don't know how to use her ability! If you had discovered such a powerful ability earlier, I am afraid that your territory would have expanded several times!" Whitebeard sneered mercilessly at his former companion.
Big Mom was not angry at all. "Hmph! Old man, are you envious of me?"
Since the establishment of the Five Emperors Alliance, the relationship between Kaido, Big Mom, and Whitebeard had improved a lot. Maybe it triggered the bond of the Rocks Pirates. Even the Red Hair couldn't stand these three guys. As the Emperors of the Sea who ruled the ocean, they actually quarreled and bickered all day long, and even got into big fights from time to time—although they were all restrained sparring matches.
But in this way, the mystique of the Emperors of the Sea was completely lost by them. Others were not surprised.
Brulee looked at Yuichi very respectfully, with a little blush on her face. "Master Yuichi... we are prepared, and we will be able to arrive directly at Sabaody in about half an hour!"
Yuichi looked at Brulee, who was acting a little strange, but nodded politely. "I see! Thank you!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome! It's nothing! As long as it can help Master Yuichi, Brulee is willing to do anything!"
Yuichi: "Ah! There's no need for other things..."
