One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 127 The Beast Pirates Attack

Roman likes to look at things from a utilitarian perspective, so on the surface, all her choices are rational, and she also values ​​future returns.

That's why she felt she could never understand Kaido.

That man who vowed to plunge the world into chaos was always a headache.

As the emperor of the sea, the longer he can maintain his position, the more basic balance he needs to maintain.

But Kaido never cared; he always brought trouble to the world and himself with all sorts of crazy actions.

Perhaps it was due to his immortality, perhaps it was his disappointment with the world, or perhaps it was also mixed with the regret of not being able to become Joy Boy.

Roman knew that Kaido once had a heroic ambition to save the world, but for some reason, he fell from grace and his behavior became even more insane.

Perhaps this is the loneliness of the strong; they don't need to understand it.

However, regardless of their initial intentions, Roman and Sengoku shared the same view: they both cared about the degree of threat.

Since Kaido has already taken actions that threaten the world, the Navy cannot stand idly by.

However, this time, before the Navy had even provoked Kaido, Kaido was the first to attack the Navy.

Facing them was G1-G5 fortresses of the New World Navy.

"The Beasts Pirates are attacking! Repeat, the Beasts Pirates are attacking!!!"

"Notify headquarters, Kaido has launched an attack."

"There are a total of 12 pirate ships, with an estimated number of 20,000 people, which will launch attacks on five fortresses."

"Kaido is currently nowhere to be seen, but according to sources, the Wildfire and the Plague are also no longer in Wano Country."

"Requesting backup, requesting backup."

The above information is from Den Den Mushi (snail phone) in the game "Air Marshal," and Sengoku is standing nearby.

"What's your opinion?" The current marshal's eyes were closed, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Although his hair was gray, he still had a strong body and was full of power. There was a stitched scar under his left eye, which was proof of his battle with the Red Earl.

“If Kaido, the Wildfire, and the Plague appear together, it proves that he’s serious this time, and he wants to plunge the world into chaos again.” Sengoku’s expression was extremely grim.

Kaido has clashed with the Navy many times and has never won, while they have also captured him multiple times.

However, each of Kaido's raids resulted in a large number of casualties.

Although Kaido didn't raid headquarters this time, he did raid five fortresses. It has to be said that his appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

And that's when you have to make choices.

The opponent's main force consists of three people.

Queen the Plague, King the Flame, and Governor Kaido.

If Kaido wanted to escalate the situation and expand the scope of his attacks, he wouldn't be acting alongside King and Plague. More likely, King and Plague wouldn't even attack a single fortress simultaneously. While this approach would be more prudent, Kaido isn't focused on results; he wants to create a whirlpool and chaos.

That means that at least two of the five fortresses are in a relatively safe state.

What Sengoku needs to do is protect those two fortresses. There aren't many skilled Marines who can fight King and Queen. One can fly, and the other is a master of biological weapons; neither is easy to deal with. Since he can't leave Marineford, Kaido must be dealt with by Garp. Only Garp is 100% confident in defeating Kaido.

The naval fortresses in the New World possess abundant military supplies, including food, medicine, and munitions. To put it bluntly, their value might even exceed that of human lives.

If all five fortresses in the New World are attacked, the pirates of the New World will be eager to make their move, and the first priority will be to protect our living forces.

Especially if these things fall into the hands of pirates, then...

"No matter what, let's provide assistance first. Send high-level combat forces to aid those two fortresses that don't have those three people, and do everything in our power to protect them."

"But……"

"This is what the higher-ups mean."

……

Even the fleet of the Emperor of the Sea, with its ample firepower, would inevitably pale in comparison when it comes to a well-organized navy.

Dealing with the Beasts Pirates. Ideally, they could suppress them with firepower. However, if they were to engage in melee combat, unless they could kill them in one hit, the consequences would be dire.

The top members of the Beasts Pirates are almost all Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. Although Kaido has not yet reached an agreement with Doflamingo in the current timeline, and not all of his main forces are Zoan-type users, they are still known for their thick skin, tough flesh, and great endurance.

If it's a protracted war, even with home-field advantage, the battle will inevitably be incredibly long.

The smells of gunpowder, cannons, the saltiness of the sea, and a faint stench of blood filled Roman's nostrils.

Although they caused quite a bit of trouble, this scale was comparable to a real war.

A war between tens of thousands of navy personnel and thousands of pirates.

This war is not large in scale, but its devastating effects will bring panic to the world.

Roman could only be thankful that, although she was unlucky, she wasn't the worst off; at least Kaido didn't personally attack G5 Fortress.

However, this is also an enemy that should not be underestimated.

Plague Queen.

Because the Wanlong, a ship unique to the pandemic, appeared.

"Phew, so this is the fortress that Boss Kaido wanted me to take? Honestly, how could that be? Even for me, taking a fortress wouldn't be that easy. Also, the firepower of those warships is ridiculously strong. If I went over there, the ship would be destroyed. I'm a Devil Fruit user, you know." Queen complained as he got up to leave.

"Lord Quinn, please fight seriously and don't sneak away!" The subordinate with long legs shouted urgently as Quinn tried to slip away.

"Tch, we've been found out, haven't we?" Helpless, the plague had no choice but to stop its attempt to escape.

However, no matter how you look at it, it's quite troublesome. This kind of firepower doesn't seem like something that can be broken through personally.

Seeing how worthless the shells looked, Quinn started to have some reservations.

He is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, specifically the Ancient Zoan type Brachiosaurus Fruit, possessing incredible regenerative abilities and resilience. However, even as a Devil Fruit user, he cannot be compared to Kaido, the boss. These cannonballs hurt him terribly.

Unlike that bastard Jhin, who has an aerial advantage.

So in situations like this, a secret weapon is necessary.

……

"Are you sure it's Quinn?" Roman asked again as he looked at the communications officer's report at the edge of the fortress.

"Yes, that's right, it's confirmed."

"Immediately notify all marines who have not yet been deployed to put on gas masks."

Quinn's greatest skill is not his own abilities, but his chemical weapons, which can truly kill without leaving a trace.

In this kind of distanced offensive, who knows if the next attack will be a pirate's biological weapon?
