Chapter 501 The Climax is Approaching
Before the war, they were like statues draped in black veils.
Until the curtain is truly lifted, no one knows the truth.
However, no matter how much one imagines the true face behind the curtain, the veil will eventually be lifted.
And the countless drops of blood were the beginning of everything.
Even if you don't want it, the wind might blow it down.
At 1:23 AM on March 20th, 1514 of the Sea Calendar, the Kaido Pirates of the Beasts attacked a naval fleet that had set sail from the New World, officially beginning this bloody and fiery battle.
From that day on, a new cycle of conflict began.
On April 1, the Navy's New World Defense Line was forced to retreat.
On April 5, fortresses G1 through G5 were attacked, with G5 suffering heavy casualties.
On April 6th, Kaido and his Beasts Pirates began publicly recruiting talented individuals and expanded their attack range.
On April 13th, the Navy mobilized its forces to fight the Beasts Pirates in the New World again, but failed once more due to the appearance of Kaido of the Beasts.
Failure...
Failure...
Another defeat...
Battle reports poured into the admiral's office like a flowing stream.
The constant stream of bad news was too much for this seasoned veteran to bear.
Such a large number of defeats was something even he, during the Warring States period, could not have imagined.
Many arrangements have already been made.
But things just didn't go smoothly.
He had already thought a lot about the trouble Charlotte and Kaido would cause.
Strangely enough, they suffered repeated defeats against the Beasts Pirates.
The Warring States period knew there was a problem here.
However, he didn't realize it at first.
If this continues, it will be time to send the generals to the battlefield.
So, the world government...
But what exactly is the subtle discord here...?
and many more……
Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Sengoku's mind...
……
Charlotte has allied with the Beasts Pirates.
From his repeated defeats, Roman came to an almost laughable conclusion.
The alliance of the Sea Emperors?
Or rather, an alliance of pirates.
Emperors never formed alliances.
For pirates, forming an alliance is tantamount to betrayal.
That's a joke.
A joke that's incredibly boring.
But this is the reality that now stands before Roman.
She had no choice but to accept it.
Why has it always been the Beasts that have directly clashed with the Navy?
The Charlotte family, however, remained silent as if they had vanished without a trace.
They are clearly ambitious people too.
They constantly coveted those unclaimed lands.
Roman didn't think his family members were that honest.
Lingling, Mother will never allow only Kaido to do this.
Unlike the beasts, Mother has complex relationships with many countries.
Her numerous children have forged considerable kinship ties with her.
Even her own marriages have given many of her children a bloodline that is considered noble by others.
Nobles, pirates, royalty, merchants, and gangsters are all represented.
If it's useful, the mother will do everything she can to win them over.
And this vast network of connections was enough to help the mother succeed.
Totland's intelligence network is well-established.
The new world is not big.
However, under Charlotte's manipulation, most of the kingdoms in the New World have inextricable ties with her.
Roman could tell from the behavior of the animals that many countries had provided him with assistance.
They even betrayed the navy.
But those countries don't have that many ties with the beasts.
Moreover, although the Beasts Pirates have excellent combat strength.
However, logistics management has become chaotic.
Kaido dislikes complicated interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, even Wano Country is basically under Orochi's control.
He's usually on Ghost Island.
But this time...
It's hard not to suspect that someone provided him with support.
All the beasts charged forward, leading the charge.
Charlotte followed, adding her own touches.
A very interesting combination.
They actually joined forces.
This has truly broadened my worldview.
The two sides have never gotten along.
Even though his mother and Kaido had a bond from being on the same ship as Rocks.
But pirates don't care about these things.
At least they won't be particular about it at this time.
They could completely abandon each other for what they each want.
But now they've partnered up.
The navy is not worried about the two sea emperors fighting their own battles.
Even if they all cause trouble for the Navy.
However, an alliance between two emperors was absolutely intolerable.
Even if this is only a temporary alliance, it's the same.
If this fact has been confirmed, then Marineford will soon mobilize its entire force.
Even though the conflict has lasted for so long.
But Roman knew that the biggest battle was yet to come.
However, if this is confirmed, the conflict will escalate again.
The real climax is probably just around the corner.
The most crucial thing now is to make new arrangements.
