On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, they were very familiar with the Five Elders, the leaders of the World Government and the highest center of power.
"Sending the Navy into the New World on a large scale will provoke a collective backlash from New World pirates. The New World is the New World because it's not just about the 'Four Emperors.' You should understand that, Sakazuki," a deep voice said from the Den Den Mushi.
If the pirates in the New World only consisted of the Four Emperors, things would be simpler.
But that's not the case. There are a lot of pirates, especially in the New World, which is the lair of the great pirates and their private territory.
Just like Gecko Moria fought Kaido twenty years ago, there are great pirates of his caliber in the New World, though they are not exactly a dime a dozen.
Meanwhile, pirates of this size are springing up in droves, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
There's no problem with a large-scale naval invasion, but it will provoke a backlash from all the pirates in the New World. They will definitely unite to force the navy back and protect their own territory.
A naval emperor can have 30,000 to 50,000 troops or even more, while these silver medalists certainly have several thousand to tens of thousands of troops. If one has several thousand or tens of thousands, what about ten? What about a hundred?
That's the New World, a chaotic battleground, far more brutal than the first half of the Grand Line. They won't allow the Navy to get involved there.
They had already learned this lesson long ago when they withdrew from the New World.
"The Navy cannot enter the New World on a large scale, otherwise our prestige will fall once again if we are defeated!" said the Den Den Mushi.
Sakazuki roared in fury: "Kuro ended an era! Just like Garp, isn't that enough?!"
"But this doesn't mean we've won a complete victory, Sakazuki. There will be a price to pay. Kuro did a great job, crushing the pirates' arrogance and composure, but going any further would have provoked a large-scale rebellion. This result is enough. Stop, that's an order. As for Kuro, we'll talk to him ourselves. That's all!"
The Den Den Mushi made a 'click' sound, then closed its eyes.
Bang!
Sakazuki slammed the receiver onto the Den Den Mushi and roared, "Damn it!!"
"It actually turned out like this..." Ichisho said in disbelief, "Does the World Government not even have the courage to fight a war?"
Tsuru glanced at the two of them and said, "It's not without reason. A long time ago, we were driven out of the New World in the same way. Kuro ended the Four Emperors, and the news will definitely spread very quickly. If we launch another large-scale invasion, they won't think we're just here to escort those pirates. And if we're attacked during the escort, the Beast Pirates will definitely escape. The risk is indeed very high."
The Navy is very strong and is the most powerful force in the world; this is a consensus. However, the Navy cannot exert its full strength because it has too many territories to manage. Pirates, on the other hand, do not have to worry about such things. They can lose their territory at will and then simply take it back.
They are not afraid of fighting, but if they are targeted by a group of pirates from the New World, the consequences could be fatal.
Upon hearing He's words, Yi smiled, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"snort!!"
Sakazuki snorted angrily and said, "Issou, you go there! And where is Borsalino?"
"Him..."
He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. The last time we met, he seemed to say he was going to be the head of some kindergarten, but I don't know where he went."
...
"What? We can't escort them?"
Meanwhile, in Wano Country, Clow is holding a microphone, somewhat bewildered.
“There’s nothing I can do, Kuro. We can’t arouse the New World’s suspicion. You should understand that, but I just laughed it off,” Tsuru said slowly.
Kuro smirked, "No, what's the point of him bringing so few people? There are over 30,000 of them. If it's just about escorting people, then numbers are the most important thing, right?"
What good is a smile? Where's the ship? Where are the people? Where are the guards?
"This is an order from above... The Five Elders will tell you personally, so please bear with me, Kuro, you are an Admiral." Tsuru's helpless tone came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Alright, then tell Brother Yixiao not to come. There's no point in him coming anyway," Kuro said directly.
“But if we’re escorting Kaido…” The Den Den Mushi’s expression turned to a frown.
"What's the point of escorting them? If there aren't enough people, accidents will inevitably happen along the way..."
Kuro reached into his pocket with his other hand, took out a steamed cigar, put it in his mouth, and then took out a lighter and lit it with a click.
"call..."
Kuro exhaled a puff of steam-like smoke, and seeing Kaido's breathing gradually calm down, he grinned and said, "I'll take care of it!"
Snap!
He placed the microphone back on the Den Den Mushi that a navy man was holding.
Escort?
Monsters of this caliber are not so easy to escort.
Escorting Doflamingo required Sengoku Issho, Tsuru, and himself to go together. Escorting a Yonko, even with Seastone bindings, might not be possible without the Navy's elite forces.
Especially someone like Kaido, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, is no joke. Even if he has the chance to jump into the sea, he can survive. If you want to catch him then, it will be difficult.
Since unexpected things are going to happen either way, it's better to choose a method that avoids such surprises...
If I kill you, everything will be fine!
Kuro had no intention of bringing this guy back alive to boost his prestige; for safety reasons, it would be better if he died!
"Bolo bolo bolo..."
The Den Den Mushi rang again, and it was the same large Den Den Mushi that the Marine was holding. The Marine instinctively took it and said, "Yes, this is Admiral Clow Reed of Wano Country!"
"Let Kuro answer the phone." A steady voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
Upon hearing the voice, Kuro raised an eyebrow, but did not reach out. He simply said, "I'm here. Just say what you need."
"Find a quiet place, Kuro."
Kuro pursed his lips, took the Den Den Mushi, walked over to Kaido who was surrounded by the Marines, plopped down on his lap, and said into the receiver, "Speak, why didn't you send someone to escort him?"
“You should understand, Kuro, Kaido has been captured more than once, and we cannot afford the risk of a failed escort, which would render your efforts futile.”
The Den Den Mushi said in a deep voice, "To be honest, we didn't expect you to go this far. Well done, Kuro."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke. "Alright, everything's settled. I was just looking for a rare opportunity to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. I can only say that those 'Worst Generation' kids did a good job."
"Regardless, we have won this battle."
A smile appeared on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, but soon their voices turned serious as they uttered words that made Kuro freeze in shock.
"Kuro, we want Wano Country," the Den Den Mushi said slowly.
This also means that the five old men from the World Government have issued the highest order.
