Meanwhile, the New World, Marine Base G-1.
In the monitoring room, a dozen Marine soldiers responsible for the operation sat quietly at their stations. In front of them, various functional Den Den Mushi were neatly arranged.
"Buru Buru~"
Suddenly, as one Den Den Mushi rang, others also began to emit urgent sounds.
In no time, all the Den Den Mushi in the monitoring room were ringing, causing the dozen Marines responsible for answering them to stand up in a flurry, scrambling to pick up the devices.
"Report, Yonko Kaido has appeared in the territory of Whole Cake Island!"
"Report, the ships of the Beasts Pirates have left Wano Country one after another!"
"Report, the Mammoth, a ship of the Beasts Pirates, has appeared in the waters where the Marine ship transporting the Donquixote family members is located. They may attempt to hijack the ship!"
"Report, the Red-Haired Pirates have suddenly left their territory, their whereabouts unknown!"
"Report, all members of the Charlotte family have gathered on Whole Cake Island—"
The continuous stream of reports quickly calmed the flustered Marine soldiers.
Immediately after, the leading officer, clad in a Vice Admiral overcoat, snapped out of his brief astonishment and exclaimed with fervor.
"Has the operation finally begun?"
"Quick, notify Admiral Aokiji and establish contact with Admiral Akainu at once."
As the Vice Admiral words fell, the soldiers in the monitoring room, no longer as flustered as before, swiftly and methodically transitioned into their duties.
.....
In the office of the G-1 base, Aokiji had just put down the Den Den Mushi and promptly stood up.
As he strode out of the office, he commanded.
"Order the Aokiji Unit to assemble at the port immediately. Destination, Whole Cake Island, Totto Land!"
.....
Somewhere in the New World.
Amidst the turbulent waves, a large warship raced through the sudden storm towards the Red Line. Inside the warship cabin, all members of the Donquixote Family sat in solemn silence.
At the hatch, Sakazuki, draped in a Admiral coat, stood with his back to the members of the Donquixote Family, his expression grave as he stared at the turbulent sea ahead.
"Report!"
Suddenly, an officer braved the storm and hurried to Sakazuki, exclaiming excitedly.
"Admiral Sakazuki, we've spotted another pirate ship ahead—it's the Mammoth, under the command of the Beasts Pirates!"
Hearing this, a fire ignited in Sakazuki eyes as he replied in a deep voice.
"Just the Mammoth?"
"Besides the Mammoth, there are several accompanying pirate ships!"
The officer tone grew increasingly fervent.
"Admiral Sakazuki, your foresight is truly divine! You actually predicted that the Beasts Pirates would come to hijack our warship!"
"This was all Fleet Admiral Orion plan!"
Sakazuki cut off the officer flattery and continued.
"Not only did he anticipate that Kaido would send someone to rescue the Donquixote Family, but he also deduced that if Kaido did so, it would definitely be led by one of the Three Disasters—Jack the Drought, commanding the Mammoth."
Before he could finish, Sakazuki abruptly turned to the Donquixote Family members inside the ship, his killing intent palpable.
"If any of you dare to step out of this hatch now, not only will you be killed, but your young master will also meet a gruesome end!"
With that, Sakazuki ignored them, his coat billowing as he strode into the pouring rain.
At that moment, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly rang. Without hesitation, Sakazuki answered it, his voice steady.
"This is Sakazuki!"
"Admiral Sakazuki, this is the Vice Admiral from the G-1 Surveillance Room. We've just received new intel—Kaido has transformed into a blue dragon and crossed the sea to appear at Whole Cake Island. Admiral Kuzan has already led the Aokiji Army away from the First Branch and is heading to Whole Cake Island!"
Upon hearing this, Sakazuki didn't respond. He simply ended the call and then looked up at the officers of the Akainu Army, who were already in position. The commanding aura unique to an admiral quietly enveloped the scene.
"Hear my Orders, Sink the Mammoth and rendezvous with the Aokiji Army!"
....
Meanwhile, on the turbulent sea, a fleet of pirate ships, led by a massive warship, surged through the waves, rapidly closing in on the area where the naval vessel was stationed.
At the forefront was none other than the Mammoth, the flagship of one of the three disaster of the Beasts Pirates.
At the bow of the ship stood a formidable figure, unmoving amidst the storm, exuding an overwhelming and suffocating presence.
This was Jack, one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates, the Drought, and a user of the Zoan-type Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Ancient Model: Mammoth. His bounty was one billion berries.
"Jack-sama, we've spotted the warship!"
A pirate standing beside Jack put down his telescope and exclaimed excitedly.
"According to our intel, this is the ship transporting the Donquixote Family. However, it's being escorted by three vice admirals from the Marine Headquarters. Rescuing them all will be quite tricky!"
"Just three vice admirals!"
Jack slowly walked to the edge of the ship and said in a deep voice.
"Who do you think I am? Bring the ship closer!"
"Once we rescue the Donquixote Family, Joker will definitely find a way to escape from the Marine Headquarters."
"Yes, sir!"
The pirate with the telescope didn't dare to delay. He loudly acknowledged the order and prepared to relay it. But just as he turned around, his body suddenly froze.
Immediately, he sharply turned his head and grabbed the binoculars in an instant.
"Damn it!"
As soon as he picked up the binoculars, the pirate pupils involuntarily contracted.
"Jack-sama, the... the warship is approaching!"
"That... that... is that—Admiral Akainu from the Marine Headquarters? Wasn't he supposed to stay in Dressrosa?"
"Damn it, the intel was wrong. Jack-sama, we've been tricked!"
At this point, the pirate turned to Jack and stammered loudly.
"It's not three vice admirals following the ship, but... but Admiral Akainu!"
Amid the pirate shouts, on the deck of the warship approaching at full speed, Sakazuki, with his admiral coat wildly fluttering in the fierce wind, slowly stepped forward with a cigarette in his mouth.
His terrifying aura sent the torrential rain flying in all directions!
As the Mammoth Ship gradually became clearer in his sight, the power of his Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit quietly began to manifest.
"A bunch of worthless scum dares to attack my warship?"
His cold voice rang out, and the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit suddenly erupted.
In the next second, sparks visible to the naked eye began to spread across the sky, where thunder rolled ominously.
The Marines standing behind Sakazuki felt the overwhelming pressure descending from above and looked up.
When they saw the dense flames igniting within the rolling dark clouds, even they, as Sakazuki subordinates, were caught off guard and widened their eyes in shock.
"This is..."
"Meteor Volcano!"
"Admiral Sakazuki has been in a bad mood lately! He's unleashing his ultimate move without hesitation!"
