Conference Room of the Headquarters of the Navy.

"What the hell are these bunch of marine junks doing? Can't you rest for a while?"

"We are still preparing for the war between the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army, and there will be sacrifices in the event of an all-out war, and I mind ignoring them."

"In this case, it is really troublesome for the two most powerful of the remaining three kings to meet."

"The former Six Kings used various conditions, intelligence, and means to eradicate three, but the remaining three are not easy to eradicate, especially when the Roger Pirates are destroyed, and our navy lacks available chess pieces."

Crane worried, "The remaining three kings had better not make a big move, otherwise it would be easy to cause a counterattack and let them maintain the current order. I believe that with the wisdom of Karn and Ryder, it is impossible not to know what is at stake."

"Fortunately, the Pirate Alliance and the Remnants of Locks are naturally opposed, which is good for us, as long as we concentrate on handling the next big war."

「……」

There are quite a few smart people at the headquarters of the Navy.

The results they had achieved before were mainly taken by surprise.

Without such a useful chess piece as the Roger Pirates.

It was difficult for them to draw enough strength to deal with the other three kings' battles.

What's more, the world government has given them a death order that the two major forces of the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army must be eliminated.

The pressure on the world government is not as easy as it sounds.

They can indeed destroy any force in the sea, and even the six kings at the same time, but are they really willing to pay such a big price?

There is no contradiction in them at all?

Comfortable for so long.

How many combat forces other than the CP organization can fight at the expense of themselves?

Holy Land Mary Joa.

The Army has a big opinion.

It's a powerful force.

But compared to the Navy, their mission is easy, and they don't want to do the kind of mission that might die.

In terms of pure data strength, it is not much worse than the Navy.

But in terms of combat power.

I don't know how big the gap is in terms of overall strength.

The main combat power of the world government is the navy.

The army has air strength.

Without enough conviction to burst out with a combat power similar to that of the Navy.

The same is true of the Holy Order.

It is said that the Holy Knights are a force composed of a group of powerful monsters, similar to Karn's Shura Expedition Department, but the experience of actual combat and death battles is yet to be verified.

And now there are quite a few contradictions within the Navy.

Most of the combat power that can be taken out to fight is the old navy, and the new navy participates in the battlefield, and it is good if it is not weak and does not tremble with fear, and no matter what combat effectiveness there is, it is afraid of death.

Most of the combat forces under the command of the World Government value their own lives.

This is the world government in addition to arrogance.

The biggest drawback.

…………

New world.

Inside the inner hall of the Pirate League.

"The leader killed so many of his own people, should he explain to us? Those bastards have arrested several of our cadres, this is a provocation, they want to start a war! Why don't you go to war?"

"We've killed enough people, and the current situation is not suitable for a large-scale death battle, so let's refrain from it."

"You haven't seen the scene of the members of the Wang Zhi faction cutting themselves, it's really funny."

"That Karn is stupider than I thought."

"That white-haired Shura will come to us to negotiate next, do you want to give him a dismissal?"

「……」

The other side.

Lena opened her mouth to explain to him, "That's not what my brother would do."

"I know."

Ryder said, "But as a leader, there are many things that you can't do on your own, and you don't have freedom."

"Freedom has no definition."

Lena said with a painful look in her eyes, "But freedom without a bottom line is a bastard."

"There's only one bastard Roger, and his fate is bleak."

Ryder sighed softly and said, "The members of the Wang Zhi faction made a wrong move, almost causing the scene to get out of control, causing a lot of unnecessary killings."

"This time I stopped them from making any further moves, and the next time it may not be."

"I'm in the middle of learning to be a leader, and I'm not going to do that again."

「……」

"I understand."

Lena leaned on the railing.

Keep your head down.

"You can't be blamed for their choices, you're not fit here."

Ryder leaves.

Leave a word.

"It's time for you to go."

during this time.

The girl had taught him a lot more than Brooke's guidance.

He's not a monster.

If you can read people's hearts, you may not be disgusted by everyone.

"People who really yearn for loneliness, they will choose death, you don't like loneliness, you just don't have a choice, you can't trust others, there are many people like you in the Pirate Alliance."

"No one in this world really wants to be lonely."

「……」

Ryder stood at the top, looking down at the members of the Pirate Alliance's hall, recalling what Lena had said at the time, and laughing at himself, "I take loneliness as my creed, but my understanding of loneliness is not as good as that of a little girl."

"The people down there are really noisy."

「……」

…………

during this time.

The biggest thing that happened was naturally the contradiction between the two kings.

The contradiction between the two major forces, with Kahn and Ryder at the core, is on the surface.

The fuse of this incident was that some members of the Wang Zhi faction once launched an attack on the Pirate Alliance, and fierce conflicts broke out between the two sides, each with losses.

There were many members killed in the war.

There are cadres of the Pirate Alliance who have been captured.

There were also members of the Wang Zhi faction who were captured.

As the strongest pirate force, the scale of the Pirate Alliance is very large, and it can't bear this breath, and countless members act privately, setting off a series of battles.

This massive battle swept through many places.

……

The rest of the sea shook in its own way.

Barrett went to the sea again.

…………

on an island.

Barrett arrives.

Took a trip to Dengle Island before coming.

Get pointed.

When he arrived, he beat Karn hard and asked if Lena's whereabouts were in the Pirate League.

He was furious.

This kind of thing can't be covered up anymore.

Katakuri saw that Karngo did not resist.

Prevent Barrett from moving further.

There was pain in my heart and on my face.

Barrett felt a sense of sadness.

These people don't see themselves as outsiders, and they should have chosen to join in the first place.

"I want to do what I can."

Kaido, Katakuri heard Barrett's words.

The heart has long accepted this soldier.

Barrett's dream from the beginning to the end was to protect his country and keep his little medal.

If it weren't for betrayal.

He would rather be the most powerful weapon of the country.

Gaia was initially cured and sent back to the Drum Kingdom along with Waitibe.

Gureva remained on the island.

Talk about what happened recently.

"I knew you were tired and had a lot to do, so I didn't tell you...... That's all I've been hiding from you these days."

Gu Lei

The baby's face was ugly, "I should stop them from doing stupid things."

Sooner or later, I can't hide it, and no one else dares to say it.

After all, she spoke.

"It's not your fault."

Karn listened to everything and knew what had happened recently.

Sooner or later, this kind of thing will happen.

If he had chosen to go into an all-out war three years ago, he would probably have already decided the winner.

Two possibilities.

One is defeat, the other is a crushing victory.

"They're kind."

Greva reproached herself, "I want to do something last, if only I had noticed what they were doing."

Countless islands were slaughtered.

Excluding Dengle Island.

But that island that helped Kende, the king passed down his last words.

There is no life left.

Originally, the scale would have been further expanded, and even many Pirate Alliance cadres planned to directly attack the Guci Kingdom.

It was Ryder who stepped in to stop it.

Kill many members of the Pirate Alliance and temporarily suppress them.

But an explanation is needed.

Otherwise, the vast majority of the Pirate Alliance, because of hatred, the members of the hostile Locks remnants will completely vent their anger on the Locks remnants, and the number of people who will die by that time will probably be more than ten times more.

All the members of the Wang Zhi faction that launched the attack at that time committed suicide.

gave an explanation.

Stop the war from expanding.

Ryder personally took out the pirate alliance cadres and killed a group of subordinate forces who had slaughtered too much.

This matter is over.

Karn knew that the members of the Wang Zhi faction were trying to capture the pirate alliance cadres.

Go redeem Lena.

But good intentions do bad things.

If it weren't for the fact that an invisible force was suddenly trying to stop it, maybe things would have reached the point of no return.

Most likely, Lena did something.

Otherwise, the Pirate Alliance would not have been able to suppress the hostility towards the remnants of Locks in such a way.

It's a real fight.

It is innocent civilians who suffer.

Karn had expected something that wasn't in his plans.

But I really know that I will feel sad in my heart.

His previous actions were fully planned, and each major incident did not have much impact on the civilians.

But because of an oversight.

to cause this consequence.

At that time, he was in the Holy Land of Mary Joy, in the Advance City, in taking care of Gaia, and he was dealing with all sorts of things.

If only you could go to the Drum Magnet Kingdom.

Maybe not.

The old man.

Karn had promised to protect the island.

Didn't do it!

Only four words remained.

No one survived.

It was not only that island that died, and even the territory guarded by the Pirate Alliance was no less innocent than they were.

In battle.

All kill red-eyed.

Who can blame for this?

Can he blame the members of the King's faction?

No!

This is an account that goes to the members of the Pirate Alliance.

Karn had to get it back.

This is probably what the real forces have to worry about, war is never so simple, and small frictions between big forces bring disaster.

The truth and history of the real cruelty have never been recorded in the history books.

It's just a passing pass.

No one survived.

These four words.

Who will feel it except for people in connection?

Take it as an interesting piece of news.

Just watch it for fun.

Karn was filled with grief.

Three years ago

, He really wanted to irresponsibly choose to start a full-scale war with the Pirate Alliance, he had already considered the consequences of such a war, coupled with Lena's empathy, he had long expected it, and unilaterally spread the news of dissuasion.

Karn stopped thinking about it.

Sure enough, war is not a good thing!!

"That's not right!"

Kaido couldn't believe this fact and questioned, "The battle in the Valley of the Gods, the Wano Country, the Hive Sea, and the Nameless Island didn't have such a big impact, how could this situation develop?!"

"That bastard of the Red Earl definitely doesn't have a high level of control over the Pirate Alliance, not as much as Locks did over the Rocks Pirates back then......

「……」

"Kaido."

Karn explained, "It's because he doesn't have a lot of control over this situation, don't overestimate the bottom line of those uncontrolled pirates, most of the evil deeds of the Rocks Pirates back then were committed by low-level pirates, and they generally don't live more than a few years. The bottom line of the world government is the bottom line of the world!"

"If it had been three years ago, the loss would have increased dozens of times, or even more, on this basis."

「……」

Karn uttered a number that scared even Kaido.

Today's Kaido has long been unable to ignore the lives of ordinary people, and his perception of life is completely different from the original work.

"Impossible."

Kaido couldn't believe it.

"The remnants of the Roger Pirates, the World Government, the Pirate Alliance, led by the remnants of the Rocks, we will ignite the entire great voyage of war, and there will be no bottom line in the end, and no one will know what the final result will be."

Karn had thought about the countless things he had struggled with about Lena in the past three years.

"There's a good chance that many of us will die."

"Do you still think it's impossible?"

「……」

Kaido was silent.

Huge wars often break out because of some fuse.

Three years ago.

The situation at sea is too tense.

The Six Kings pattern has just been born.

Undercurrents are surging everywhere.

"Lena didn't volunteer to stay there for three years."

Karn spoke, "I knew from the beginning, and I thought about the idea of saving her countless times, but how could my sister, who had never changed, bear to see this happen."

"With her intelligence, it is impossible not to consider this possibility, after all, even I have considered this possibility, she volunteered to stay in that place to reduce sacrifice, and she gave me a reason not to go to war."

「……」

Kaido took a sip of wine and said bitterly, "This wine is so bad! It's really annoying to have an unplanned situation! In that case, Lena stayed in that place for three years to reduce the damage to the point where it is now!"

"It's unpleasant!"

"I know that it was not the time of Locks, but a similar war broke out during the struggle for supremacy at sea, and it is said that hundreds of millions of people died."

"But at the time, I didn't feel it at all, and I thought it was funny what was being reported in the newspapers, and it was still too small to involve the whole world in a war. Now that I think about it, I really want to beat myself to death!"

「……」

Kaido fell into chagrin.

"It's not like Lena doesn't want to come back."

Karn's eyes revealed a mixture of dead silence, sadness, and memories.

Kaido nodded.

Barrett, Katakuri have been silent.

Neither of them is good at expressing emotions.

One person has a similar experience to Kaido, who has experienced countless wars and sacrifices, and there is a kind of heartfelt sadness about this.

The other cares most about his younger siblings.

Katakuri's heart was tormented.

In the past three years, there have also been countless struggles and considerations.

"She said she missed everyone."

"She must be sad that this happened, and think it was her fault."

「……」

Karn said these bland words, with an ugly smile on his face, "She's been holding out for three years, giving us a chance to buffer, she's done a good job, and we need to give her the greatest compliment we can see her." No! We can't express too much grief, even in our hearts."

Barrett asked, "What's next?"

"I've wanted to take her home for a long time."

Karn insisted, "Let's take her home!"
