“Eh? Elite?”

Beirut reached out his index finger and rubbed it under his nose, his face showing a proud expression. “I didn’t expect that I would also be considered an elite.”

“I already said they are soldiers.”

Kirby’s lips twitched. “I’m only a squad leader. This battle is not like the past. Look…”

He looked to the side and saw a mustached Marine holding a feather fan, mobilizing those Marine Rear Admiral.

“That’s Vice-Admiral Kong Ming, he won with his wisdom, but he is only responsible for a small part here.”

Kirby said, “This battle is completely different. If you are not careful, you will die.”

And the key is… to face Luffy.

From this point, Kirby was complicated. He didn’t want to fight Luffy, but he was Marine.

It was something that had to be done.

“Luffy…” Crowe murmured.

On a high platform above the square, Crowe looked at Marine in the square below with an inexplicable expression.

Smoker came over from the side, biting on a coiled ‘Snake’ made of three cigars and asked, “What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“This war…”

Smoker looked at the huge square. The Marines estimated that there were about 2,000 people, which was not much compared to the entire Marine. Most of them were still maintaining the front line. Those who could be recruited were one in a hundred.

“Another big battle. Can it really end everything after the battle?” Smoker said worriedly.

“Don’t worry…”

Crowe looked at the sky and said meaningfully, “We will end this chaotic sea, come…”

In front of the huge execution platform, a purple figure walked over.

Yixiao tapped his walking stick and walked under the torture platform step by step. He sat down on the only chair and hugged his walking stick.

In this war, there is only one general.

The returning Kuzan maintains the front line.

Logically speaking, the scale of this time is not as big as the War Of The Best, but Smoker feels that in terms of intensity, it may be stronger this time.

With the arrival of a smile, there was also movement on the port coast.

A gust of yellow wind blew past, and as the wind gradually revealed Crocodile’s figure, almost immediately after him, a stream of steam shot out and condensed into William.

“Humph.”

Crocodile snorted at him. “Kid, you’re not slow.”

“You flatter me.”

William’s lips curled into a smile. “It seems that there was no winner in our battle before. Why don’t we compete here and see who kills more pirates or who gets the head of Straw Hat first?”

“A loyal dog…”

Crocodile said lightly: “I am not interested, but I will take the head of the straw hat.”

He was different from William. This guy was obviously a loyal dog of Kuro. He had no interest in such things.

Thud!

After them, a figure descended from the sky and landed steadily on the shore.

Rudolph was almost right behind him.

“Hahahaha, I’m here!”

Wearing a wide cloak and flying in the air like a flying squirrel, Bucky laughed arrogantly. “Come, let the world see my figure!”

“Idiot.”

Katakuri was below him. He looked up and then walked towards the platform.

Mihawk, carrying the big black knife Night on his back, quickly walked over. “A familiar scene…”

In the end, it was Hancock with a snake. After reaching the shore, the snake hovered into a seat state. Hancock sat on it lazily and twisted her long legs, taking a posture.

“Oh? You came in the end.” Mihawk glanced at her.

“Cut the crap, I will deal with other pirates, but if it is Lord Luffy, I will not do it.” Hancock snorted.

Shichibukai has arrived.

“They are here too.”

Crowe looked toward the shore and adjusted his glasses.

“Is he trustworthy?”

Smoker frowned and said, “More than half of these people are thinking about something. Especially Hancock and Mihawk… When they fight, once they rebel, the pressure on us will be very great.”

“That’s why we have so few people this time.”

Crowe’s lips curled into a smile. “Mr. Kuro has calculated everything. Our task is to ensure that we delay those who come, whether it is Straw Hat or Blackbeard…”

“Will Blackbeard really come?” Smoker asked curiously.

Straw Hat would come, which was what Smoker had expected, because he already knew the history of Red Hair and Straw Hat. With that kind of personality, he would definitely come.

But it was hard to say for someone like Blackbeard. Did Kuro have some kind of plan?

“He will definitely come, as long as he wants to be Pirate King…”

Marine didn’t know this. Only Crowe knew.

Kuzan has Blackbeard’s contact channel. Kuro asked him to tell Blackbeard that he has the pointer of Onepice and a copy of the road sign Poneglyph of Wano Country.

Based on this alone, there is a high chance that Blackbeard will come.

If he really doesn’t come… that doesn’t matter.

After dealing with Straw Hat, only Blackbeard can reach the height of Yonkō (Four Emperors) in the sea. At that time, he can also attack him with all his strength.

Crowe also estimated that according to the intensity of this war, if Blackbeard wants to catch them all in one fell swoop, he will come, because once he wins, he can become the biggest force in the world.

After all, if Mr. Kuro and the Marine elites present are dealt with, there will be nothing on the sea that can stop him.

According to Mr. Kuro …

“That bastard Titch is such a gambler. He will definitely come because I have everything here. As long as he gets rid of me, he can be stronger than Locks. He can’t miss this opportunity. He doesn’t know what to enter.”

“The time given is also enough.”

Crowe said slowly, “We give them a month to prepare so that they can get here. If none of them comes…”

He pointed to Den Den Mushi next to him and said, “The world will see it. At that time, the power of the pirates will fall, which is good for us.”

No matter what, it would not be a loss.

Squeak!

The sound of the door being pushed sounded. Crowe’s ears twitched and he looked up. On the stairs connected to the execution platform at the back of the door, Red Hair, who was tied up, gradually walked towards the execution platform step by step. Beside him was the silent Kuro, who was biting his cigar.

When they reached the top, the two of them stood on the high platform, overlooking the square below and the sea in front of them…

Kuro blew out smoke and said to Red Hair, “I say, as the one being executed, do you have to kneel?”

“You don’t have to be so serious…”

Shanks smiled and sat cross-legged, staring at the sea for a while before saying, “Kuro, have you thought about what will happen to the sea after you fail?”

“Sorry, I won’t fail.”

Kuro stood beside him and said slowly, “I’ve never been defeated, and this time… I won’t.”

Crash!

In the sea, a huge wave suddenly broke and hit the iron wall along the coast. The sky gradually turned gloomy, as if it was heralding the coming storm.
