Chapter 569: Chapter 463: Yakushi Kabuto: Akatsuki Has Already Emerged, At Least We Don’t Have to Worry About Them Hiding in the Shadows Anymore

Marinford.

Yakushi Kabuto returned from the New World.

Besides Admiral Akainu staying at the G1 Branch Base to guard, Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Yakushi Kabuto rushed back to Marinford together.

When they returned to this Navy Headquarters, news of Yakushi Kabuto, the newly rising Navy strategist, was spreading across the sea.

While Uchiha Sasuke was wreaking havoc in the New World, Yakushi Kabuto, the genius strategist, emerged, commanding the Navy to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates and repel Uchiha Sasuke, a formidable figure of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Overnight, Yakushi Kabuto became a well-known figure across the sea, becoming the youngest Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the youngest Navy Headquarters Staff Officer in history.

The Navy Headquarters Marinford, however, did not particularly promote news about Yakushi Kabuto. A group of high-ranking Navy officers sat together discussing how to handle the aftermath with the Whitebeard Pirates and the suddenly emerging Akatsuki and Uchiha Itachi.

Yakushi Kabuto, sitting next to Vice Admiral Tsuru, gently pushed his glasses up and softly said, "I believe, given the lesson of this joint encirclement battle, it’s unlikely that Uchiha Sasuke will continue to take risks and engage in direct combat with us..."

"What about Whitebeard..."

Marshal Sengoku, seated in his main seat, looked at Yakushi Kabuto, the new strategist, and asked in a deep voice: "I know that guy very well; even though he’s aged and ailing, he still possesses the power to fight the entire world!"

"From now on, it seems almost impossible."

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, adjusted his glasses, picked up a document, and softly said, "The Whitebeard Pirates are claimed to be the strongest pirate gang in the world, but Whitebeard has been dispatching less and less frequently in recent years..."

As Yakushi Kabuto spoke, his voice gradually lowered, "In recent years, except for a war that could possibly annihilate the entire Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard Edward Newgate has hardly taken action, which implies that his body has deteriorated more than we anticipated..."

Yakushi Kabuto slowly clasped his hands, a hint of confidence gradually emerging on his face: "Simply because Whitebeard appeared so often, mostly relying on his reputation to make others retreat on their own, we habitually believe Whitebeard acts very frequently..."

"..."

Every high-ranking Navy officer present couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

It must be said, Yakushi Kabuto made a lot of sense. When these high-ranking Navy officers carefully thought and recalled, they gradually realized certain things that seemed off.

Marshal Sengoku furrowed his brows and slowly nodded, "Indeed, three years ago, before the position of the Four Emperors was firmly established, the Whitebeard Pirates held a strong advantage in a war... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

At that time, just having Whitebeard hold off BIG·MOM could have allowed the Whitebeard Pirates to seize Totto Land, but Whitebeard did not take action...

We originally thought Whitebeard was reluctant due to his friendship with the Rocks Pirates, but it now appears that his power could no longer sustain prolonged battles..."

"Yes."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses up and continued to gently explain, "That’s correct, the most recent time Whitebeard took action was during the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Black Spade Pirates.

Coincidentally, during this battle, Whitebeard forcibly recruited Portgas D. Ace and Uchiha Sasuke, who chose to join. In battles among pirates of the same caliber, this is incredible.

We now see Uchiha Sasuke’s combat power; he definitely has the qualification to challenge Whitebeard, yet he has not chosen to betray him.

And in the half-year since Uchiha Sasuke joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard has never taken action again, even during the Four Emperors Kaido’s invasion, it was dealt with by Uchiha Sasuke, the supernova, which almost violates his action frequency."

Yakushi Kabuto put down the document in his hand and calmly said, "That man, the strongest in the world, has already recognized Portgas D. Ace or Uchiha Sasuke as the successor of the Whitebeard Pirates.

I believe Whitebeard will only reserve his limited life and power for the most crucial moments; he merely wishes to pass the Whitebeard Pirates smoothly from his hands to his successor within his lifetime...

The most powerful force, whose life light is about to go out, cannot be used just to save face; he definitely will not take action just because we defeated Uchiha Sasuke.

Of course, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it’s best we send out warships for surveillance and quickly restore the Navy forces at the G1 Branch Base to avoid any accidents."

"..."

All the high-ranking Navy officers present fell into silence.

Honestly, perhaps they shouldn’t have come to this meeting.

Except for the last sentence, not many people understood most of what was said, it was a mess. Is this how Navy staff officers and Navy strategists communicate with each other?

It was obvious that Vice Admiral Tsuru understood, as a gentle smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. She looked up at Sengoku and softly said, "Sengoku, how does little Kabuto’s words sound?"

"..."

Sengoku slowly nodded, took a deep breath, and looked at Yakushi Kabuto, saying, "Very good, cautious yet logical. Without his intelligence compilation, we might have overlooked an issue: Whitebeard’s aging has reached a level we have severely underestimated. Unfortunately, we failed to seize the opportunity, allowing him to find his successor..."
