"Hmph, at least that sounds human."
He muttered something and raised the gourd again.
A sudden "marriage pressure" storm came to an end in such a peculiar way.
But Su Hui's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
wedding?
Of course he wanted to give it.
But the problem is time.
According to Merlin's previous telepathic message, he only had a total of one hundred days in this world.
Now that we've been delayed in Dressrosa for a few days, plus the time spent at sea, we have less than a month left.
We must win this decisive battle against the World Government within a month.
This is not only to change the landscape of the pirate world, but also for his own sake.
Only by achieving a resounding victory that would shake the entire world could he feel at ease leaving behind a long-term, stable spatial coordinate, making it convenient for him to return at any time in the future.
In this war, victory and defeat will be two completely different outcomes.
fail,
He might only be able to return to the main world in a sorry state with the women, and the coordinates of that world would become unstable.
Victory would mean he would completely control the direction of the sea, turning the entire pirate world into his own backyard and resource-producing region.
"Mr. Kaido, have you made contact with Big Mom yet?"
Su Hui snapped out of his thoughts and his expression turned serious.
"It's all been arranged."
When it came to serious matters, Kaido also dropped his doting fatherly demeanor. "She will bring her pirate crew and join us on Onigashima. At that time, the combined strength of the three of us will be enough to ensure that those bastards in the Navy never return!"
"Do not."
Su Hui shook his head. "We can't wait for them on Ghost Island."
"What do you mean?" Kaido frowned.
"We have to be proactive."
A light gleamed in Su Hui's eyes.
"Before they can fully assemble, take out their vanguard as a warning to others!"
Su Hui's plan sent a shiver down the spines of Kaido, who was present.
This man's ambition and madness far exceeded his imagination.
"Take the initiative?"
Kaido sobered up considerably, and his large, bell-like eyes gleamed with excitement and scrutiny.
"Kid, what's your specific plan? The Navy has three admirals on board this time, and there are rumors of the Knights of God. They're not so easy to deal with."
"That's precisely why we can't let them set up their formation comfortably."
Su Hui walked to the stone table in the courtyard, dipped his finger in tea, and quickly drew a simple sea chart of the area surrounding Wano Country on the table.
"The navy's fleet will inevitably encircle Wano Country from three directions. Their headquarters will most likely be located at the G-1 branch. And their vanguard, in order to serve as a deterrent and probe, will certainly select the most elite combat force, led by an admiral, to advance from the front."
Su Hui tapped his finger heavily on a point on the nautical chart.
"What we need to do is to set up an ambush here, in the place they least expect, and wipe this vanguard fleet off the sea with overwhelming force!"
Everyone present, including Kaido, crowded around, their eyes fixed on the spot Su Hui had pointed to.
It was a treacherous area known as the "Vortex Sea," famous for its unpredictable and massive whirlpools and harsh weather. Even the most experienced navigators would keep their distance from this area.
"Set up an ambush here?"
Kaido frowned. "The weather here is too unstable, and it's dangerous for our own people. Besides, the Navy's shipping routes might not even pass through here."
"They will."
A confident smile appeared on Su Hui's lips. "Because I will make them 'have to' pass through here."
He glanced at Monet, who had been standing quietly to the side.
"Monet, Doflamingo's underground intelligence network should still be usable, right?"
"Yes Master."
Monet replied respectfully, “Lord Dover has transferred the Joker’s highest authority to me. We can spread any message we want into the underworld, as long as you give the order.”
"very good."
Su Hui nodded. "Immediately spread the word that my alliance with Kaido and Big Mom in Wano Country has suffered a huge rift, and the three parties are fighting amongst themselves on Onigashima, resulting in heavy casualties."
The more believable the news is, the better; the more details, the better; ideally, fabricate a few fake news stories about cadres "dying in battle."
"Internal strife?"
Kaido was taken aback, then understood Su Hui's intention and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Oh ho ho ho... Interesting! You little rascal, you're really cunning! If those idiots in the Navy hear this news, they'll definitely think there's something wrong with us internally and rush over to take advantage!"
"Yes."
Su Hui continued, "A fleet that is eager to achieve quick success and wants to seize credit will inevitably choose to take a shortcut in order to reach Wano Country as quickly as possible. And this shortcut to Wano Country must pass through the 'Whirlpool Sea'."
I will have Viola use her abilities to monitor the naval fleet's movements in real time, ensuring they walk the path to their doom that we have paved for them.
This plan was bold, insidious, and yet intricately linked.
They used false intelligence to demoralize the enemy, exploited the enemy's eagerness for quick success to lure them deeper into the territory, and then used natural defenses to set up an ambush.
This is no longer a simple pirate-style shootout, but has risen to the level of war strategy.
Kaido looked at Su Hui, his admiration growing stronger.
He realized that he had underestimated this young man.
He not only possesses overwhelming power, but also a cunning mind.
Giving him control of the alliance was perhaps the best decision I've ever made in my life.
"Ugh, let's do it this way!"
Kaito slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups jump. "What do you need me to do? My weapons are itching for a fight!"
"Your mission is to be stationed in Wano Country."
Su Hui's arrangement, however, once again took him by surprise.
"what?"
Kaido's eyes widened. "You want me to stay behind? You're going to fight by yourself?"
"The Navy's target is the three of us. If we all send out, they will definitely become suspicious. Your mission, along with Big Mom who will arrive in three days, is to defend Wano Country and put on a show of 'internal strife' for the whole world to see."
Su Hui explained, "Ambush warfare emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Sufficient mobility means you don't need to bring too many people."
"I can handle it."
"you alone?"
Not only Kaido, but also Yamato, Smoothie and others showed worried expressions.
That was an entire elite fleet led by a naval admiral!
"rest assured."
Su Hui's gaze swept over the women, finally landing on Yamato. He reached out and ruffled her white hair. "I'm not alone. I still have you all."
He looked at Smoothie, Black Maria, Ulti, Baby-5, and the others. "You are my sharpest blades. Who among you wants to participate in this hunt?"
"I!"
Runti was the first to jump up, her face full of excitement.
"Count me in."
Black Maria smiled alluringly.
Smoothie didn't speak, but simply gripped the hilt of her sword at her waist; her fighting spirit spoke volumes.
"Wherever the master goes, baby-5 will go!"
"Me too! I want to go too!"
Yamato shouted back defiantly.
"You can not."
Su Hui directly refused her, saying, "Your task is to help your father put on this show. Don't forget, you are 'Kozuki Oden,' Kaido's most troublesome 'enemy.' The two of you fighting will make it more realistic."
Yamato immediately pouted, looking unwilling, but he knew that what Su Hui said was true.
Ultimately, Lin wanted to sing "Ode to Plum Blossoms," but Lin was nowhere to be found...
The people to go on the expedition have been selected.
Led by Su Hui himself, the team included Smoothie, Black Maria, Runti, Baby-5, Monet, Viola with the Gaze-Gaze Fruit, and Sugar with the Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability, who was brought from Dressrosa.
Sugar's abilities can have an unexpected and remarkable effect in an ambush of this scale.
A strategic meeting that could potentially overturn the world order was decided in this small courtyard in an almost childish manner.
Although Kaido was somewhat dissatisfied that he couldn't personally destroy the naval warships, he approved of Su Hui's plan.
He was well aware of the importance of a stable rear area for this war.
After the meeting, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon, soared into the sky, and returned to Onigashima to begin setting up the illusion of "internal strife."
Three days passed by in a flash.
Over these three days, undercurrents were swirling throughout Wano Country.
Through the Joker's intelligence network, Monet spread news of the infighting within the "Worst Alliance" like a virus to every corner of the world.
News King Morgans added fuel to the fire, using highly sensational headlines to vividly depict this "internal strife."
at the same time,
Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, leading her World of Warcraft fleet, arrived in the waters of Wano Country as scheduled.
But instead of being welcomed by allies, she was met with Kaido's merciless "heat breath" attack.
Two of the Four Emperors engaged in an earth-shattering battle outside the waterfall in Wano Country.
Although both sides knew it was all an act, the earth-shattering battle scenes were clearly transmitted back to the World Government by CP0 agents lurking nearby.
All intelligence points to one fact—the “most evil alliance,” which was formed just recently and put the world government on high alert, has already fallen apart from within.
This is undoubtedly a golden opportunity.
In Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office at Naval Headquarters, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed as he looked at the urgent intelligence in his hand.
"Give me the order!"
Sengoku's voice, transmitted through Den Den Mushi, resounded throughout Marineford: "Issue Admiral Kizaru to lead the First Fleet and depart immediately as the vanguard to penetrate Wano Country from the front. Do not wait for follow-up troops; you must ascertain the battlefield situation as quickly as possible!"
"The rest of the fleet will advance in full force. I want to show these pirates the unparalleled might of the navy and capture them all in one battle!"
"Even the Four Emperors cannot escape! Justice will be served!"
"Yes!"
The order was issued.
Dozens of massive warships, docked at Marineford port, raised their naval flags and, led by Admiral Kizaru, set sail in a grand procession toward the New World.
On the flagship's deck, Kizaru still maintained his lazy demeanor, but his gaze, peering through his sunglasses, was fixed on the distant horizon.
"Oh my, what a bargain! Is there infighting? How terrifying, an alliance between pirates."
Unbeknownst to him, a massive net, tailor-made for him, had already been quietly unfurled in the "whirlpool sea" ahead.
Meanwhile, in a secluded port in Wano Country.
Su Hui and his group had already boarded the disguised ship.
"Master, the First Fleet of the Navy has set sail."
