One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Two hours later, the core members of the Holy Shield Society gathered in the conference room.

"According to the headquarters' order, the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World are on the rampage, and we need to support the G3 branch!"

Carsente spoke first and explained the reasons and general situation of the conflict between the G3 branch and the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Then the problem now is that I have decided to go to provide support. If any of you do not want to go, you can take the cruiser and return directly to Marinford."

"I have already informed General Zhan Guo about this matter."

"You all discuss it and see how to deal with it."

"The Whitebeard Pirates, as you are all veteran marines, I believe you are familiar with them. They are one of the most powerful pirate organizations in the New World."

"And Edward Newgate, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, is the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which has terrifying group attack and destructive abilities."

"He is even called 'the strongest man in the world!' He is a well-deserved top fighter."

"At the same time, the pirates under his command are also numerous strong ones."

"Besides, the New World is the territory of pirates. We may face attacks and sneak attacks from other pirates at any time."

Carson detailed the risks and dangers of the operation.

"Everyone, please discuss this matter and give me your answer in one stick of incense. I will support any choice you make."

After Carsent finished speaking, he took Anna out of the meeting room.

Arriving at the observation deck of the Aegis Eternal and looking at the shimmering waves of the sea in the distance, my originally nervous mood slowly began to calm down.

"Anna, follow the strong man who is protecting you secretly and return to the Holy Land or the Sabaody Archipelago for the time being. I will come back to pick you up after the war is over."

Carson stated his plan without any further ado.

"I……"

Anna lowered her head, playing with the scimitar in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.

"I think I can guarantee my own safety, is that not okay?"

“That’s not allowed either.”

Carsent gently touched Anna's forehead and then began to explain.

"Once the war breaks out in the New World, these treasures won't be enough to attract other top pirate groups to intervene."

"But for the so-called honor and the so-called new world, it is not ruled out that some pirates will join in."

"Once the war starts, I can't protect you, and the guard of the Markas family who follows you can't protect you either."

At the side, a figure shrouded in black appeared and nodded at Anna, silently agreeing with Carsent's point of view.

Unlike before, the figure did not disappear again, but stood quietly aside.

"The owner of the house wants you to go back first."

Hearing the guard's words, Carsent also echoed him.

"In this battle, except for me, Admiral Sengoku, and Whitebeard, everyone else may die, including Carlton and his men, including Marco, whom Whitebeard regards as his offspring and successor, and even Borsalino who followed Sengoku."

"When the top fighters start fighting, everyone else is just cannon fodder."

Carsent spoke slowly, a large-scale war is a meat grinder, and anyone who does not reach the top level of combat power is at risk of death.

If it is a larger-scale battle, such as a battle that sweeps across the entire New World, even the top fighters may die. Of course, the scale of this time will not be so large.

"He can't protect you either. Even the most bizarre fruit abilities can be unexpected."

"What's more, what I'm most worried about is the remnant of the Rocks Pirates, known as the 'vengeful ghost wandering in the old times', the God of Death, Simont."

"After Lockes died, his behavior became increasingly erratic and strange."

"It's highly likely that he won't show up, but we don't dare to bet on it."

"Below the top combat power, his sniping success rate is 0%, and he has never missed. No matter if it is a strong lieutenant general or a weird CP."

Carsente expressed all his concerns. This was also the reason why he and Admiral Sengoku agreed that the Holy Shield Eternal Navy would not fight until the very end.

The current situation of the Navy in the New World is not optimistic. There are more than ten top-level pirates in the New World, but the entire Navy Headquarters only has five and a half (Sengoku, Sora, Zephyr, Garp, Crane, and Carson's defense is adequate, but the destructive power is still not enough)

After listening to Carson's analysis, Anna lowered her head and thought for a long time.

"Okay, I promise you, but you must come back alive."

Anna's eyes were slightly red.

“Hahaha, no problem. With our own strength at this level, no one will die unless we fight to the death.”

Carson smiled and stroked Anna's forehead to comfort her.

Just one look at Sengoku's awakening skill, the half-Buddha, half-demon form, would be enough to cause ordinary pirates and navy to go crazy or die violently. Even such a full-strength attack could not seriously injure Carson.

"People from the Macas family, take Anna away."

Carsent said to the silent man in black robe beside him.

"Don't eat the devil fruit for now. I have a feeling this fruit will suit you very well."

The last words are left as farewell.

Then Carsent turned around and walked into the conference room again.

Carsent first repeated what he had just said to Anna, saying that it was necessary to let the soldiers understand the dangers of the new world before making a choice.

The danger of death. Even though the horror of the new world has been told over and over again, if you have never seen it with your own eyes, you will never be able to truly experience the horror of that sea.

"How was your discussion? Come and tell me your decision."

Carson's voice echoed in the conference room.

The navy officers below the stage were silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

After a while, someone spoke first.

"I am willing to follow His Excellency Major General to the New World!"

The sound was like the spark of a firecracker, instantly lighting up the entire conference room.

"Me too, me too!"

"We are all willing to follow the Major General into battle!"

"I had thought it all out when I came out. Who would be afraid of death when they join the navy?"

……

The enthusiastic and high-spirited voices resounded throughout the conference room. The audience was excited and raised their fists, expressing their willingness to follow the expedition and fight to the death.

"Very good! You are all the best navy soldiers. With your presence, the Holy Shield will continue to grow stronger!"

Carson was filled with emotion.

Carsent dared to go to the New World and face Whitebeard, which showed his confidence in his own strength.

These comrades of the Holy Shield also dared to go to the battlefield, relying only on their pure belief in justice and their courage and determination to fight to the death.

"Everything is for justice!"

Carsent gave a standard military salute, with the major general's star shining brightly.

"Everything is for justice!"

The audience cheered in unison.
