"General Xia Le, I am very interested in you!"
Xiong said softly.
Zoro's face flashed.
"I think you should take advantage of this opportunity."
"If you can really become a disciple of him, your ambitions and dreams may be one step closer."
"You know, that man's swordsmanship is also among the best in the world."
Xiong said softly.
"What? His swordsmanship is also the best in the world?"
Zoro said in surprise.
"Yes, he once had a battle with Hawkeye Mihawk. The two competed purely in swordsmanship."
"In the end, it was a tie."
"This matter is only known to a small number of people and has not spread to the world."
Xiong said in a deep voice.
But Zoro's expression changed drastically, and then the corners of his mouth curved, and his eyes raised and looked forward.
"This is really good news!"
at the same time.
In the Office of the Warring States Marshal.
"Da da da da da!"
Rapid footsteps sounded one after another, and the faces of the people coming and going were solemn and anxious. Big beads of sweat on their cheeks flowed down their chins and dripped on the ground, but they didn't notice it at all.
"Quick! Quick! Continue to investigate!"
"Be sure to investigate the information in more detail and clearly!"
Warring States slapped his palm on the table, and a shallow palm print immediately appeared on the solid wood table.
His expression was extremely gloomy at this moment, and the solemnity in his eyes was unprecedented.
Since yesterday, the information coming from the New World has made the Navy Headquarters as a whole become dignified and nervous.
"The Whitebeard Pirates, the entire army is on the move. All sixteen of its squads and forty-three pirate groups are on the move!"
"In addition, there are many unidentified people who are suspected of defecting to his affiliated forces and races over the years!"
"The number is very large, and its huge fleet has already occupied a sea area!"
"The momentum is extremely majestic and terrifying. Our people can only observe it from a distance, but cannot get close!"
"There are more than ten outpost fleets just responsible for scouting and detecting news!"
"It is difficult for our people to find opportunities to detect more specific information!"
"Lieutenant General Keynes, he tried to take risks and get closer, but failed in the end and lost three warships!"
"Report, the number of ships surrounding Whitebeard's main force is still increasing. They are coming from all directions in the New World."
"Today's numbers have completely buried the area centered on Moby Dick, and will never be seen again!"
"Marshal, the number of people is extremely exaggerated. It is an unprecedented spectacle! Lieutenant General Keynes reminds us that we must be fully prepared to welcome the impact!"
The messages that kept coming in one after another made Zeng Guo's expression become more and more solemn.
"The specific number of people!! I have said it many times to find out the specific number of people!"
"Even if you can't find out the specific number of people, you can give me a rough idea of the number of strong ones among them!"
Sengoku roared.
"It's very difficult!"
"There is news from Lieutenant General Keynes. What we will face this time is an unprecedented huge legion. The number of people may exceed any previous war we have heard of!"
"Based on his rough judgment, maybe."
At this point, the navy hesitated.
Probably, the estimated figures can never be determined, and may even have an impact on the war. Therefore, under normal circumstances, one would not draw conclusions easily.
"Tell me! Even if it's just a rough idea, it's very important to us right now!"
Warring States shouted angrily.
The navy was stunned, then took a deep breath and spit out the number.
"It is estimated that the total number of Whitebeard Pirates' fleet may have exceeded one hundred thousand!!"
In an instant, the entire marshal's office became inexplicably quiet.
One hundred thousand! !
Such a number, no matter where it is placed, is enough to shock countless people and make them feel confused.
What's more, behind the number of one hundred thousand, what it represents is that there are countless elites and strong men in the new world, who are hostile elements who are about to start a war.
"Whitebeard can actually gather such huge numbers!"
Sengoku murmured.
Compared to the previous second, his expression became even more ugly and solemn.
Then he waved his hand, his voice low and serious.
"Continue to explore information."
"Remember, we must not let the Whitebeard fleet disappear from our sight!"
The navy nodded: "Yes!"
Then, he turned around and walked away quickly.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhan Guo calmed down the shock in his heart, and then turned to look at Xia Le.
"Facing the Whitebeard Pirates, with such a mighty and imposing scale, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xia Le raised his head and smiled slightly: "It's not beyond my expectation."
"Based on what he has done intentionally or unintentionally over the years, the sea areas, islands, and forces he rules, it is not difficult to assemble an elite force of 100,000 people."
"There is only one point, and that is whether he wants to gather so many people!"
After a pause, Xia Le's eyes sharpened.
"But now it seems that he obviously wants to fight us with all his strength!"
This is different from the original work. Compared with the original Whitebeard's 10,000 troops, the opponent at this time has far surpassed him.
"Fight with all your strength?"
Sengoku murmured.
"But it's just right."
"The Whitebeard Pirates are very strong, but our navy is not weak either!"
"He can raise a hundred thousand troops, but the strength of the Navy Headquarters at the moment has already far exceeded this number!"
At this point, Xia Le's eyes flickered.
"I thought this would be a boring war that would end soon. But I didn't expect that things went beyond my expectation!"
"It should make my blood boil!"
Warring States also clenched his fists, his eyes incomprehensible.
Time continued to pass, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Whitebeard's fleet has passed by Beehive Island, and their people have been roughly assembled. The scale is very large!"
"The terrifying number of fleets, if spread, would be enough to make anyone tremble!"
The news continued to come.
But compared to before, there is not much useful information, most of it is just its route.
"In Beehive Island, there are pirates with a fleet of thousands of people who have contacted the Whitebeard Pirates and threatened to participate in this unprecedented war and teach the navy a lesson."
After hearing such news, the expressions of several people in the Marshal's office changed slightly.
Under the leadership of the Whitebeard Pirates, the crazy hearts of some pirates were mobilized, the militant factors in their bodies were triggered, and they actively joined in.
This is undoubtedly not good news for the Navy and may trigger a chain reaction.
Warring States became nervous and sat there without saying a word.
Xia Le was also waiting quietly for the next news.
The navy was very weak in the New World, and there wasn't much they could do in this situation.
If Vice Admiral Keynes and others step forward to stop them, they may not be able to even squeeze their teeth against Whitebeard's huge fleet.
Soon, the news came.
"The Hive Island fleet of thousands of people was rejected. Whitebeard personally spread the word. His fleet is not dispatched for the ambition and murderous desire of crazy people!"
"And after finishing his words, he threw a punch and destroyed this pirate fleet of thousands of people."
"His actions received an enthusiastic response from the Whitebeard Fleet and 100,000 people."
"The Whitebeard fleet's morale has reached its peak!!"
The brief message made Sengoku feel happy, but at the same time he sighed worriedly.
Fortunately, the man Whitebeard really has his own pride. He also knows that the Hive Island Fleet with thousands of people is not a good thing, so he decisively refuses and destroys it. And this undoubtedly prevented the pirate fleet from continuing to expand.
What is worrying is that with Whitebeard's courage, the morale of his huge fleet of 100,000 people will be unimaginably high.
When such news reaches the headquarters, it is a spiritual shock for countless navy!
Morale!
This kind of thing sounds a bit mysterious, but in battle, it is crucial.
"Whitebeard is still the person worthy of admiration after all."
Xia Le sighed softly at this time.
Facing a war, when strength is urgently needed, he is still able to control his heart and take action against those with evil intentions without hesitation.
It can be seen that although this man is old, his courage and heroism are not inferior to those of his youth.
Moreover, his crisp and clear attack also demonstrated his strong power, which made countless people in the fleet feel inspired and excited, and boosted their morale.
"Xia Le, the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates has reached its peak!"
"Do we need to prepare?"
Warring States asked in a deep voice.
"No need!"
"In this war, they are attacking and we are defending!"
"No matter how high the morale of the white-bearded people is and how energetic they are, it is enough for us to firmly occupy the headquarters, follow the original plan, and have the officers guard every point and wait for work."
"Any superfluous move may cause negative reactions."
Xia Le said slowly.
He walked towards the window, placed his hands on the window sill, and looked down at Malinfando.
The execution day has not yet arrived, so the number of naval forces below does not seem to be large. It's just that some powerful generals are guarding key places.
Following his line of sight, Crocodile, Barrett, Stierres, Flying Squirrel and others were lined up on the high platform of the first level of the headquarters square, standing there quietly.
Smoker, Bucky, Rosinandi and others were on the other side.
Everyone was already in place, and after hearing the information from the new world, they didn't have much reaction.
"you're right!"
"Marinfando is the number one fortress in the world. We are defending this game."
"The advantage is mine, no need to be too nervous!"
A smile appeared on Sengoku's face and he breathed out slowly.
Then, he also stood up and came to Xia Le's side. He put his hands on the window sill and looked down.
At a glance, in Malinfando at this moment, although the number of defenders is not large, they are densely packed and occupy every important position.
And, more importantly, there are many strong ones among them!
The momentum is equally impressive! This formation is no weaker than the Whitebeard Pirates.
The two of them silently looked down at Marinevando, feeling confident about the strength of the navy, when another hurried figure rushed in.
"Report!!"
"Kaido, the Beast Pirates, collides with the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"And there's a big fight!"
In an instant, both of them turned around with surprise on their faces, and Zeng Guo was even more confused.
"What?"
