Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Sengoku: Not a Single Piece of Good News! Chapter 204: Sengoku: Not a Single Piece of Good News! Thump! Thump! Thump! A Marine officer ran up to the execution platform, his hurried steps clearly showing his panic. "Reporting, Fleet Admiral!" He came to a stop behind Sengoku and saluted. Before the other could turn around, the Marine officer hurriedly shouted, "There’s trouble at Impel Down, Fleet Admiral! It’s Blackbeard Teach!" "What’s the situation?!" Sengoku asked sharply. How can there be more bad news! He had summoned these Warlords to participate in the war, yet one by one, they were all slacking off. Blackbeard had gone missing right before the battle, and now he pulls this stunt! Sengoku’s entire face darkened, and rage instantly welled up in his heart. Damn pirates, not a single one can be trusted! The Marine officer, still shaken, continued to report the news from Impel Down. "The missing Teach led his entire pirate crew to attack the great underwater prison! The entire Impel Down is in chaos, and all the major criminals from Level 6 have been released, including Shiliew of the Rain, Sanjuan Wolf..." As he reported, Sengoku’s face grew progressively gloomier. To think he took so many people with him from Impel Down! "Teach!" Sengoku’s expression was grim as he squeezed a few words from between his teeth. "Of all times!" Looking at the battlefield filled with the smoke of war before him, Sengoku’s mood became even more agitated. Ever since the war started, he hadn’t heard a single piece of good news!! Akainu’s plan to turn the Great Maelstrom Spider had yet to show any results. A bunch of mutated fierce beasts had appeared out of nowhere on the field, shattering his estimates of Whitebeard’s forces. And now there was a major incident at Impel Down! Rumble! A dark cloud pressed down from the sky. A clap of violent thunder boomed, illuminating Sengoku’s gloomy face. Once those ferocious criminals from Level 6 escaped, the entire world would suffer a huge impact, and... ...would it also affect the battlefield here? Sengoku’s eyes hardened as he glanced down at the time. There was still more than half an hour until the execution. He looked at the situation in the plaza below again. The frontline on the ice had currently been pushed three-quarters of the way. "Begin implementing the plan now," Sengoku said in a low voice. Hearing this, Vice Admiral Tsuru below couldn’t help but look up. "Now? Isn’t it a bit early?" "It’s fine. We must do our best to ensure no accidents happen in this final stretch of time," Sengoku said decisively. Even though the pirates at the very rear were not deeply trapped within the bay’s encirclement, it no longer mattered to gain this little bit more. More and more unfavorable conditions were arising, and a bad premonition couldn’t help but rise in his heart. "Understood." Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded lightly and took out a Den Den Mushi from her pocket that had been kept on an open line. "Control room, cut off all live broadcast video feeds." "..." As her voice fell, the Den Den Mushi remained silent, not making any sound. Its expression even looked a little dejected. "Hmm?!" Vice Admiral Tsuru’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly shouted again, "Control room! Did you hear me? Speak up!" However, what came back was still silence. "This is bad!" Vice Admiral Tsuru’s pupils constricted. As a veteran of many battles, she knew something was wrong in the rear without needing to think too hard. She suddenly raised her head and shouted upwards: "The rear has been infiltrated, Sengoku! We’ve lost contact with the control room!" "Damn it!!" Bang! Sengoku couldn’t help but roar in anger, slamming his fist on a corner of the execution platform, instantly sending a large number of wood splinters flying. "How come no news came back!" He had dealt with Whitebeard for so many years and knew his crew like the back of his hand. How on earth did they manage to infiltrate so silently! "Hehehehe~~." Seeing Sengoku’s exasperated appearance, Ace, covered in blood and kneeling shackled in the middle of the execution platform, raised a corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but jeer. "Your title of ’The Strategist’ is a bit of a sham, Sengoku. You’re not even fit to lift Pops’s boots." "You bastard!" Sengoku gritted his teeth and glared at Ace. Right now, he just wanted to smash the other’s head into the ground! But unfortunately, he couldn’t do that. The scene at Marineford was currently being broadcast live to the entire world. If the Fleet Admiral of the Marines was seen losing his temper, what would the world think? But in the end, Sengoku was indeed a seasoned veteran. Even though not a single step of the war had gone according to plan since it started, he did not panic. "Tsuru, you organize a small team to check the rear." Sengoku forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart to calm his emotions and gave the order: "Contact Sentomaru and have him be ready at all times. Even if the encirclement wall can’t be raised, the Pacifistas must be deployed twenty minutes before the execution." "Understood." Vice Admiral Tsuru acknowledged, called over several Vice Admirals who were on standby, and headed straight for the rear. Sengoku turned to the Marine officer who had come to report to him. "You go and bring the executioners up. We need to be ready to carry out the execution at any moment." "Yes, sir!" The Marine officer saluted, turned, and quickly walked down. The situation was getting worse and worse. The Marines’ advantage in mid-to-low-tier troop numbers was being eroded bit by bit. A trace of doubt arose in Sengoku’s heart. He had fought Whitebeard his whole life. Did that old fool have this kind of strategic mind? The move to coat the ships and attack from underwater was already astonishing. Sengoku could understand if it was a flash of inspiration from the other. As for Impel Down, given Blackbeard’s relationship with him, it probably wasn’t a conspiracy. But the rest... Could it be that there were other powers secretly intervening in this war? As one thing after another began to disrupt Sengoku’s plans, his mind couldn’t help but start to race. At the same time, in a building in the town at the rear. "Horohorohoro~~" Perona’s spirit body passed through the wall, flying laughingly towards her real body, which was lying flat on the table. After merging with her real body, she sat up, holding her skirt, and looked back at the few people by the window. "Well? Did I lure them back?" "Mm, it seems to be Vice Admiral Tsuru and a few other officers," Usopp said while observing through his binoculars. Perona turned around and shrugged her shoulders, swinging her legs at the edge of a table, and said with a proud smile, "I’ve already found out their plan. Later, I’ll go and blow up the power system for the defense wall. Even if they regain control of the control room, it’ll be useless." "Well done!" "As expected of Perona." Robin smiled faintly and looked towards the distant plaza. "I wonder what expressions the Marines will have later." "Hee hee hee, Perona is super amazing! Are you sure you don’t want to join us?" Luffy, tied up in a corner, grinned cheekily. "Everyone really likes you." Usopp also smiled and chimed in, "If it’s Perona, I believe everyone would be very welcoming." "That’s right, that’s right! We all like Perona," Chopper raised his hand in agreement. "Hmph, I don’t want to." Perona pouted and turned her face away. Faced with their smiling gazes, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She was very happy being with the Straw Hat crew. They didn’t treat her like an outsider and had entrusted her with important tasks in several operations. She liked this feeling of being relied upon. And, the atmosphere on the ship was also particularly good... As she thought about it, Perona subconsciously grabbed her skirt and hesitated. Although joining the Straw Hat crew was quite good, Lord Moria... "Well, let’s just forget it." Sighing, Perona looked up and smiled faintly. "After this operation, I’m going to leave with Lord Moria. The sea is vast, but I believe we’ll meet again someday." "I see." Although Luffy was a little disappointed, he didn’t force her. He could already see the determination in her eyes. He just gave a relieved smile. "You’re right. We’ll definitely meet again in the future." "Mm," Perona smiled and nodded emphatically. She was already very happy to be acknowledged by everyone. "There’s still half an hour until the execution." Franky came up behind Luffy and began to untie his ropes. "It should be about our turn to take the stage soon. I hope Zoro and Sanji are doing well." "Don’t worry, they’ll definitely be fine," Luffy said, freed from his bonds, and stood up to stretch his wrists. He came to the middle of the group, looked at the back of Ace on the distant execution platform, his eyes showing determination. Wait for me, Ace... High above the battlefield, on the circling falcon. The electric light in Nami’s hand gradually dimmed. She retracted the non-rotating Clima-Tact into her palm and gestured to Reiner, "The thundercloud is almost ready. I can activate Raigo at any time." "Mm, it’s about time for us to make our move," Reiner nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze falling on Whitebeard below. Why hasn’t this old guy entered the fight yet? Do I really have to go down there and stab him with the Filial Son Blade? "Forget it. I’ll push the tempo a bit," Reiner said, waving his hand to summon his powerful undead, preparing to deploy them onto the battlefield. Once his undead are fighting on the plaza, I don’t believe Whitebeard can still sit still. It’s time for you to risk that old life of yours, old man Whitey. At worst, to catch the leader, first catch the king. I’ll just make Sengoku cough up blood.
