Chapter 564: Chapter 458: Rear Admiral Yakushi Kabuto’s Advisor Strategy (Update 3)_2

"..."

Marshal Sengoku impatiently supported his forehead, just watching their departing figures, and then spoke: "Sakazuki, Garp, be careful, do not underestimate those brats!"

Marshal Sengoku was well aware.

In this battle to regain confidence in reconstructing the G1 Branch Base, Akainu and Garp were truly the main forces, and there were no other hands to spare.

Because the reconstruction of the G1 Branch was imminent, any hesitation might turn the area into a pirate paradise, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Otherwise, Sengoku would have wanted to wait until Kizaru recovered from his injuries and Aokiji returned, and directly have the Three Great Admirals of the Navy Headquarters go to the New World!

However, if the Three Great Admirals of the Navy Headquarters were all deployed to the New World, it might alarm all the Four Emperors, making them think a great war was brewing.

The current force should be enough...

Two of them were known for their formidable combat abilities: Admiral Akainu and Hero of the Navy Garp. The other two relied more on strategy: Navy Staff Officer Tsuru and the new generation’s Navy Yakushi Kabuto.

Of course...

The Navy was not without reinforcements.

After Admiral Akainu, Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Rear Admiral Yakushi Kabuto left, Sengoku urgently called the Five Elders of the World Government to request reinforcements from the Seven Warlords of the Sea to fight alongside!

After Sengoku’s request to the World Government was approved, he immediately planned to send someone to contact the Seven Warlords of the Sea and also inform Vice Admiral Tsuru and others, only to find out that someone had already thought it through before him.

It was the new generation’s most strategically brilliant Yakushi Kabuto.

On Vice Admiral Tsuru’s warship.

Admiral Akainu’s warship followed alongside, as he watched along with Vice Admiral Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru as Yakushi Kabuto eloquently spoke before them.

"Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea have considerable military power..."

Yakushi Kabuto had long considered the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: "But our time is too tight, and a few of the Seven Warlords of the Sea may not make it to the New World, let alone they also need to serve the responsibility of blocking other pirates from entering the New World..."

Yakushi Kabuto glanced at the map in his hand and softly said: "I suggest that our purpose for enlisting the Seven Warlords of the Sea is primarily to use their strength for support, to calmly face a secondary war..."

"A secondary war?"

Garp couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

This term was a bit novel for him, isn’t just one battle enough?

Could it be they had to fight two battles?

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded in satisfaction and encouraged Yakushi Kabuto to continue speaking: "It seems that Kabuto’s strategy appears more comprehensive..."

"Not at all."

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, adjusted his glasses, and spoke softly: "There were too many seniors in Marinford, I felt a bit embarrassed to speak up... Only in front of Senior Tsuru do I dare to express my modest views freely."

At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto seemed to transform back into a humble student.

However, the next second, Yakushi Kabuto’s face showed a confident look, as he continued with his plans: "During the time we head to the New World, we will immediately initiate a call to the Seven Warlords of the Sea to supplement our high-end combat power.

While on the way to the New World, the only ones who can directly accompany us, for now, are Doflamingo and Hoshigaki Kisame, the remaining five will have a brief time gap before reaching the New World to rendezvous with us;

In this time gap, we will rebuild the G1 Branch Base, preemptively announcing the reconstruction of the Navy G1 Branch through a victory over a Whitebeard Pirates’ subordinate pirate gang in the New World!

The following time will be spent waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates’ counterattack, though such a counterattack certainly won’t be too intense... The manpower Whitebeard Pirates can send will likely only include Uchiha Sasuke."

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, a confident smile appearing on his face: "I’ve gone through all the intelligence on the Whitebeard Pirates’ external wars in Marinford. Whitebeard rarely takes action himself, his deterrent effect is greater than actual impact.

In fact, Whitebeard hasn’t really taken action for about five years, perhaps due to age, illness, or fear of disturbing the world balance; in any case, his probability of taking action has greatly diminished...

And ever since Uchiha Sasuke defeated Kaido, he has gradually begun to succeed Whitebeard in external battles.

By eliminating a Whitebeard subsidiary pirate group rather than a main squad of Whitebeard’s crew, we will most likely only need to face Uchiha Sasuke, the highest combat power besides Whitebeard himself.

"Hey, kid!"

Akainu exhibited a hint of discontent: "What’s the point of this? Is it just to wipe out a subordinate under Whitebeard?"

"Sakazuki."

Vice Admiral Tsuru interrupted Akainu, she looked at Yakushi Kabuto, her smile becoming more approving: "Our goal has never been war, but to reintroduce the Navy’s justice back into the latter half of the New World..."

If it were only about reconstructing the G1 Branch Base, defeating a subordinate pirate crew under Whitebeard would be enough to provide the world with an explanation, more importantly, it’s to brace for the forthcoming counterattack.

As it seems now...

Yakushi Kabuto’s plan is quite commendable.

This young man hasn’t been overly ambitious to directly target Whitebeard, in fact, he has deliberately chosen to minimize the chance of Whitebeard making an appearance.

The most crucial aspect is Yakushi Kabuto’s rationality, which is what pleases Vice Admiral Tsuru the most; a truly wise general must not act rashly.

His every goal...

Is calculated precisely against Uchiha Sasuke!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy, the Four Emperors, all three forces are encompassed within the planning, two differing scaled wars, with nearly all of the war’s objectives being foreseen by Yakushi Kabuto.

"Truly impressive for a young man... Kabuto."

After complimenting Yakushi Kabuto, Vice Admiral Tsuru softly asked: "What if Whitebeard doesn’t act as you’ve imagined, and indeed gets involved?"

"That’s not a possibility."

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, softly spoke: "In desperation, Whitebeard would never dare to rashly start a full-scale war with the Navy... We have left enough dignity for him.

The Navy would never abandon the G1 Branch Base in the New World, if the Whitebeard Pirates forced the Navy to retreat from the New World, it would escalate into a full-scale war, a war that would shake the entire world, such a scenario would only waste both sides’ resources!"

Yakushi Kabuto bit his lip as he reached this point, resolutely saying: "Of course, if it indeed reaches that point, I would fight to the death as a navy soldier for justice!"

"..."

Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded in satisfaction.

Admiral Akainu’s gaze subtly turned complicated.

If Akainu were not himself a spy from the Akatsuki, having known about Yakushi Kabuto’s dealings, perhaps he would have truly believed Yakushi Kabuto’s words now!
