ip like a colossal fireball.A searing, massive shockwave slammed into them, causing the little girl to instinctively bury her head in the naval officer's chest, as if it were the safest place in the w...Three days passed quickly.

"The great generals of the Warring States period, everything is ready."

Three hours from now, our target, Bundy Waldo, will land on an uninhabited island in the northern waters off Rubeck Island. I recommend we launch our operation there.

In the warship's hold, Sengoku listened to the low voice emanating from the military telephone bug before him, his brows gradually furrowing.

"Darren, can you confirm the validity of the information"

For the past three days, Bonney's whereabouts have been erratic, and even the government side couldn't find any trace of the Ward Pirates... If the intelligence is wrong, once our Navy's actions are exposed, all the efforts we made for this encirclement will be in vain.

As they talked, Sengoku couldn't help but glare at the man beside him who was picking at his nails incessantly.

"General of the Warring States, please rest assured, there will be no flaws."

"The intelligence is reliable. From what I know, Bundy Waldo procured a large quantity of smuggled arms through underworld channels in the North Sea, with the specific transaction location being the target island."

Darren's calm and powerful voice echoed through the phone.

Upon hearing Darren's confident words, a smile slowly appeared on Sengoku's face.

"Very good, this old man was right about you."

He pondered for a moment,

What are your suggestions about the operation to wipe out Bandy Valdor

Darren hesitated and said:

"As a Warring States general, I'm just a battalion colonel. For an operation like this, to wipe out someone like Bandy Waldo, a pirate of that caliber, my military advice probably wouldn't be suitable, would it"

Upon hearing this, Zhanguo burst into laughter and scoffed:

"You little brat, don't try to fool me!"

"Come on, speak up if you have any ideas. After we succeed, you'll definitely get your share of the credit!"

Besides, I have already submitted your promotion application. As long as it goes through the procedures of inquiry and review, it will be approved. A staff colonel... is already qualified to participate in military operations of this level.

The Warring States period wasn't a bunch of idiots.

As a naval officer widely recognized as a "military genius," his political acumen and military strategy were undoubtedly among the best on the high seas.

Since the incident with the Celestial Dragon, Sirsedes Saint, the Wano Pirates have become even more cautious and difficult to deal with.

Including the intelligence networks of the Marines and the World Government's CP agency, no one can find Bandy Waldo's whereabouts.

He even leveraged his extensive network of contacts, communicating with high-ranking officials from various kingdoms in Behai, attempting to find any trace of Bundy Waldo. However, all his efforts proved fruitless in the end.

However, just in such a situation,

Darren, this commander of the North Sea Fleet, gave specific information about the precise time and location within less than two days.

This alone is enough to illustrate many problems.

As he thought this way, a wildly absurd idea suddenly popped into Zhan Guo's head.

Could it be...

"Darren!! Was this arms deal arranged by you!"

The expression on Zhan Guo's face suddenly turned stern, and he asked in a low voice.

The telephone bug fell silent for a second, then the Northern Sea Commander's voice, tinged with amusement, slowly echoed out:

"The vision and intelligence of a Warring States general are indeed astonishing. Nothing escapes your notice."

"Yes, I arranged this deal."

"Bonnie Waldo has been frantically recruiting, buying arms, and building a colossal cannon in recent days, hoping to use it to destroy the army led by General [Warring States]."

Bang!!

Zhan Guo slammed his fist heavily on the desk in front of him, his face so dark it seemed like water would drip from it.

Damn Bondi Waldo!!

"Isn't he trying to blow up Marlin Brando!"

As a Marine admiral who has fought against Bonney multiple times, Sengoku knows better than anyone the terrifying power of her Mero Mero no Mi.

If he were truly given a large-scale artillery piece, let alone his own naval force, with Bonney's Waldo's insane, brutal, and arrogant personality, he would probably dare to bombard the Marine Headquarters in Marin Vando right into the ground!

However, since we knew about this information in advance, we also have enough time to deal with it.

Thinking of this, the heart that had been hanging in the Warring States period finally calmed down a little.

"You didn't give him that heavy artillery, did you Darren... well, I still trust you, kid. You wouldn't do something so stupid..."

"No, a Warring States general…… I crafted for him a cannon of unprecedented scale."

Darren suddenly said.

Warring States Period:...

One second later,

——What did you say!

Zhan Guo jumped directly from his seat, roaring with fury so intense that it nearly blew the hatch off.

The sound was so loud that even the nearby Borusalino couldn't help but wryly scratch his ears.

"Are you crazy"

Sengoku gritted his teeth, staring at the phone bug simulating Darren's nonchalant expression. He was so angry, smoke practically poured out of his nostrils.

"Great General of the Warring States, please don't worry. There is a reason why I am doing this."

Darren's voice was neither salty nor bland.

"Bonnie Waldo is a crazy-looking guy, but he's actually a really tough nut to crack."

Although he harbored ambitions to destroy the world, he was by no means a reckless and arrogant fool.

"Without enough incentive, it would be difficult to lure him out and take him down in one fell swoop."

"If he hadn't gotten his hands on that heavy artillery, he would have been even less likely to recklessly declare war on our navy, especially given that he was already wounded."

This time we have him trapped in the North Sea, it's the best opportunity, absolutely can't miss it.

"Otherwise, once we let him have the chance to escape to the Grand Line or even the New World, it will be several times, or even dozens of times harder for us to defeat him afterwards."

Listening to Darren's well-reasoned analysis, Zhan Guo's brows remained tightly furrowed. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples:

"But, Darren, your approach is rather reckless, don't you think"

"No, Warring States General, please trust me."

The voice of the Commander of the North Sea had a certain air of authority that was hard to resist.

Since I dared to give that heavy artillery piece to Bonnie Waldo, naturally I have the confidence to deal with him.

As for what you just said, about this mission... I have a somewhat immature idea.

Darren paused for a second, then said word by word:

"I hope this time, let me command."

“I will lead the Beihai Fleet...to participate in the battle!!”
