At this moment, Navy Headquarters was, naturally, most closely monitoring the battle.
"Sengoku, there's no need to worry about that situation.
With two top-tier Admirals engaged, no one in this world can win against them."
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Tsuru, known as the Great Strategist, stood by the window, her aged eyes fixed on the seemingly calm but actually turbulent sea at the Navy Headquarters port.
"The Navy's main focus should be…"
Tsuru turned to Sengoku: "Don't let Whitebeard's formidable power overshadow his cunning strategies."
Sengoku, without refuting her, nodded in agreement.
Whitebeard's greatest threat wasn't just his title as the Strongest Man of this Era, or his world-destroying power.
Beneath that immense strength, as someone from the same era, Sengoku knew firsthand that Whitebeard's cunning was on par with the Roger Pirates.
In the age of Rocks, before Roger's rise to fame, Whitebeard was one of the strongest monsters!
And if Whitebeard hadn't valued his crew so deeply, if he'd had the ambition, he could have easily become the next Pirate King!
"What is Whitebeard planning next…?"
Sengoku murmured.
Suddenly, "No-not good! Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Urgent intel!"
A Navy officer burst through the door, his face pale with anxiety.
Sengoku and Tsuru's hearts sank.
Sengoku asked, his expression grave: "What's happened? Could it be…"
A serious expression crossed Sengoku's face.
"Has the World's Strongest Man already set out?!"
"Whitebeard!"
Tsuru's heart sank.
The Navy officer shook his head.
"No, it's not…"
Sengoku and Tsuru's expressions changed simultaneously.
News unrelated to the Whitebeard Pirates?
"What is it?!"
Sengoku pressed.
Sensing the rapidly intensifying gravity of the situation, the Navy officer stammered: "It's… we've detected another Yonko at the entrance to the New World!"
"It's Kaido, captain of the Beasts Pirates!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, "What?!"
Unbelievable shock filled Sengoku's eyes.
"Ka-Kaido?!"
"Isn't that guy causing trouble in the New World?!"
"Why would he be in the first half of the Grand Line at this time?!"
Tsuru's expression turned grave, a bad premonition settling in her heart.
"Where is Kaido now?!"
The Navy officer stammered: "Kaido ignored our forces and used his flying abilities to cross the Red Line."
"Crossed the Red Line…?!?"
Sengoku's face was grimmer than ever.
"What is that guy trying to do?! Has he gone mad?!"
"Or is this a feint, the Beasts Pirates gathering forces to attack Whitebeard's territory?"
"Or is it possible that Whitebeard and Kaido have joined forces?"
"No, given their irreconcilable hatred, could Whitebeard be doing this for the 'Worst Generation' heir?!"
Sengoku's expression shifted constantly. He found it impossible to believe that Kaido would appear in the first half of the Grand Line at this time.
After all, the Navy's plans had never accounted for Kaido.
Regardless of his antics, Kaido usually stayed in the New World.
As long as he remained there, the Navy's plans would remain unaffected.
In fact, Kaido's actions in the New World would put immense psychological pressure on Whitebeard's crew!
Therefore, when Sengoku heard that Kaido had left the Beasts Pirates' territory, he hadn't paid it much mind.
He thought he'd considered every possibility.
But, Kaido had chosen the most improbable course of action!
Sengoku's expression was grave.
Whitebeard's crew alone warranted an unprecedented response from the Navy.
Now, with the sudden addition of Kaido…
Sengoku's heart sank.
The situation was dire, utterly catastrophic!
Without hesitation, Sengoku turned to the Navy officer.
"Go! Order Admiral Kuzan to intercept that bastard Kaido!
Under no circumstances can we allow Kaido to disrupt our current plans before Admirals Akainu and Kizaru return!"
"What?! Ad-Admiral Kuzan is also being deployed?!"
The Navy officer's eyes widened in shock.
Three Admirals leaving Marineford… an unprecedented event!!!
If the Whitebeard Pirates took advantage of this…
The Navy officer's heart trembled, but he nonetheless nodded.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"
After the officer left, Sengoku's expression remained grim: "Kaido… what is that troublemaker doing in the first half of the Grand Line?
Why isn't he staying put in the New World?
Is he targeting Marineford?! Damn it!"
Sengoku clenched his fist.
He then turned to Tsuru.
"By the way, what's the situation with Akainu and Kizaru?
Once they've eliminated their target, order them to return immediately, without delay.
Marineford cannot afford to be without their strength."
As he spoke, Sengoku saw Tsuru pick up a Den Den Mushi, contacting the Navy fleet tasked with eliminating Ignis Glow.
However, Tsuru remained silent.
A bad premonition washed over Sengoku.
"What's the situation there?"
Tsuru didn't speak, putting down the Den Den Mushi.
Her face was grimmer than Sengoku had ever seen.
She slowly said, "…I fear something has gone wrong with Akainu and Kizaru, Sengoku.
The Navy fleet, which should have maintained constant contact, is now unreachable."
"What?!"
Hearing this,
