One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

Above the vast ocean, there is a magnificent and majestic island called Marinford.

The island is towering into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, like an unshakable fortress, standing firmly in the surging waves.

The buildings on the island are arranged in an orderly manner. The majestic fortress, towering watchtowers and neatly arranged barracks all demonstrate its solemnity and dignity as the headquarters of the navy.

This is the headquarters of the navy, symbolizing absolute justice and power. It is like the last line of defense in this vast ocean, guarding the peace and order of the world.

Admiral Sengoku sat in a spacious office. The wall behind him was covered with maps and medals, showing the navy's glorious achievements and vast jurisdiction.

However, at this moment, there was a pile of documents in front of him. The mountains of papers seemed like invisible mountains, pressing him to the point that he could hardly breathe.

Zhan Guo frowned, and the deep wrinkles on his face were like those carved by a knife, each of which told of the pressure and worry he was under. His eyes revealed deep worry, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his heart, lingering.

He picked up a document, the paper of which had turned slightly yellow, and it was obvious that it had been read many times. His fingers gently turned the pages, his eyes focused and anxious, as if he was looking for the key clue to solve the current dilemma.

As he flipped through the book carefully, he felt a headache coming on his face. His temples were throbbing faintly, as if countless little bugs were gnawing at his nerves.

"These troublesome guys are restless one after another." Zhan Guo muttered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and fatigue.

His tone was heavy and slow, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. His eyes became a little dim, as if he was extremely troubled by the situation in front of him.

According to the intelligence sent back by the Navy and CP0, the major forces on the sea are ready to make a move. This intelligence is like a heavy bomb, which has set off a storm in Zhan Guo's heart.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the rhythmic tapping sound was particularly clear in the quiet room. Every tap seemed to be a release of his inner anxiety.

He fell into deep thought, with various possible situations and coping strategies constantly emerging in his mind.

"Whitebeard..." Sengoku murmured, his voice low and solemn, "I am not surprised by his actions. After all, we have captured Fire Fist Ace. Whitebeard, who regards the crew as his family, will definitely not sit idly by."

Sengoku's eyes became deep, as if he had traveled through time and space and saw the unforgettable figure of Whitebeard.

The tall and mighty image of Whitebeard clearly emerged in his mind. His body was as big as a mountain, as if it could support the entire sky.

Whitebeard's iconic white crescent-shaped beard fluttered in the wind like the mane of a wild lion, and his terrifying ability of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was still fresh in Sengoku's memory.

Every time Whitebeard activates his ability, the entire space seems to tremble, as if the heaven and earth are about to collapse.

"The Whitebeard Pirates are powerful, and their captains are all strong men. This battle will probably be a fierce one." Sengoku took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling with his breathing.

His eyes became firm and sharp, and he began to secretly plan a countermeasure in his mind.

"Marco's Phoenix Fruit ability and Joz's diamond body, neither of them should be underestimated." Sengoku's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, the rhythm was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as if simulating the upcoming fierce battle.

But according to the intelligence sent back, not only Whitebeard, but also Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, is gathering troops, and he seems to be ready to attack the Marine Headquarters together with Whitebeard.

"Kaido? How did he get involved?" Sengoku frowned even more tightly, and his forehead was instantly covered with deep wrinkles, like ravines.

He stared at the information in front of him, trying to find out the motive of Kaido's actions. "Did he reach an agreement with Whitebeard?" Zhan Guo was full of doubts, and this thought made him feel uneasy.

"Kaido, the madman known as 'One Hundred Beasts', his mind has always been unpredictable." Sengoku's thoughts turned rapidly, "Is he trying to take advantage of the situation, or does he have another conspiracy? Is he trying to use this opportunity to weaken the power of Whitebeard and the navy, so as to expand his sphere of influence?"

Countless questions swirled in Zhan Guo's mind, giving him a splitting headache.

Zhan Guo stood up, his movements were heavy and resolute. He slowly walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and looked solemnly at the rough sea outside.

The endless blue stretched all the way to the horizon, and the waves surged and beat against the shore, making a deafening roar.

"I thought dealing with Whitebeard alone was difficult enough, but I didn't expect Kaido to join in the fun." Sengoku shook his head, his face full of helplessness and distress.

The sea breeze blew in through the window, ruffling his hair, but it couldn't blow away the haze in his heart. "The Whitebeard Pirates are one of the overlords of the sea. Their strength and influence are unquestionable. I'm ready for a fierce battle, but Kaido..."

His voice was intermittent in the sea breeze, filled with deep worry.

"However, the navy is no pushover. We have enough strength to resist their attack." Zhan Guo tried to make his tone firm. He straightened his back, as if this could strengthen his inner confidence.

"We have sophisticated equipment, well-trained soldiers, and many powerful generals. We have experienced countless battles and tests and will not be easily defeated." He clenched his fists tightly, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.

However, although he tried to give himself some confidence, the worries in his heart could not be eliminated. He knew very well how powerful Whitebeard and Kaido were. The combination of these two sea emperors would undoubtedly be a huge threat to the navy.

"This crisis may be the biggest challenge the navy has ever faced." His brows were furrowed, as if they were two knots that could never be untied.

Sengoku didn't know the relationship between Ace and Yamato, if he knew he wouldn't be so surprised.

"This Kaido has always acted arrogantly. I wonder what his purpose this time is." Zhan Guo muttered to himself, his gaze withdrawn from the sea and fell on a corner of the room.

"Is he just trying to take advantage of the situation and weaken the navy? Or is there some other deeper conspiracy?" His thoughts were like a tangled mess and he couldn't sort them out.
