So, as of now, the Navy has no plans to advance into the New World.
At this time, if they were to send Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—three of the Navy's top admirals—into the extremely dangerous New World, wouldn't that be like pushing them into the fire???
"I say, Admiral Steelbone Kong, staying here all the time is just too boring. We've already caught most of the pirates in the Grand Line. Isn't it time to head to the New World?" Aokiji said.
Although Aokiji has become more lazy since becoming an admiral, he still shows some enthusiasm now.
Not for any other reason, but precisely because most of the pirates in the Grand Line have been captured.
And staying at the Navy Headquarters every day for training is extremely dull.
Therefore, he now has a considerable interest in the New World, known as the most dangerous sea area.
"Well, the New World is dangerous, but... isn't that place a good training ground?" Kizaru shared his opinion.
"The current chaos in the New World is even more dangerous than during the Rocks era. Our Navy has no intention of advancing into the New World yet. If we want to go, we just have to wait."
During the Rocks era, although it was dangerous, because the Rocks Pirates were extremely powerful, at that time, few pirate crews dared to show themselves in the New World.
But now, with the fall of the Rocks Pirates, their main officers have all gone solo, and have grown to an extremely dangerous level.
At the same time, pirates who dared not appear during the Rocks era are now thriving in the New World.
This era is truly even more perilous than the Rocks era!!!
Steelbone Kong naturally wouldn't send the Navy's three admirals—Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—to the New World at such a critical moment.
Unless people like Garp and others finish their training at the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
They would rather choose to send troops to guard the New World.
"As the Navy who uphold world justice, now... we dare not advance into the New World because we fear the pirate forces there. Can we still call ourselves the Navy?" Akainu declared righteously.
"Sakazuki, your determination to uphold justice is truly reassuring, but... the danger level of the New World now far exceeds your imagination," Steelbone Kong sighed.
Steelbone Kong truly valued Akainu; after all, he became a colonel at a young age.
He captured many ruthless pirates in the Grand Line, bringing solid achievements to the Navy.
And he has deeply ingrained the name of justice in his heart.
Such a character was highly admired not only by Kong but by the entire Navy high command.
But at the same time, Kong was a bit worried about Akainu's personality because he was too fiery!
"Ah, so you mean no matter how much we ask today, we still can't go to the New World?" Aokiji scratched his head.
"Yes," Kong nodded.
Hearing this, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji exchanged glances and then prepared to leave.
After all, Kong had made it very clear that under no circumstances would they be allowed to go to the New World.
So staying here any longer was just a waste of time.
As they were about to leave, footsteps sounded outside the corridor.
"Step! Step! Step!"
Several Navy high-ranking officers quickly rushed to Steelbone Kong's office door.
"What are you all so flustered about?" Kong raised his eyebrows and questioned.
"Admiral Steelbone Kong, news from the World Government just arrived: the strongest pirate in the New World, El, along with Whitebeard Pirates' captain Edward Newgate, have invaded the Holy Land Mary Geoise!!!"
The officers were panting as they hurriedly reported.
"What???"
Kong's pupils contracted slightly.
El was supposed to be working as a commissioned agent in the New World.
There had been no major incidents for years, right?
And Whitebeard, although active at sea in recent years, had been relatively quiet lately.
Now these two guys have invaded the Holy Land Mary Geoise—what are they up to???
"El?" Akainu furrowed his brows and thought.
Although he was currently in the first half of the Grand Line and had never been to the New World, he had heard the name El countless times.
After all, El was titled the strongest pirate in the New World by the World Government!
"One is the strongest pirate in the New World, the other is the captain of one of the top pirate crews in the New World, and they've invaded the Holy Land Mary Geoise? These two really are puzzling."
Kizaru rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"We still haven't been to the New World ourselves, so we can't even fathom what New World pirates are thinking," Aokiji said, shrugging.
Although Aokiji had never met El or Whitebeard, he knew these two men.
Were among the top pirates in the New World.
But... the strength of the Holy Land Mary Geoise was by no means inferior to these two.
Aokiji couldn't guess why these two would invade the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Kong was silent for a few seconds, then fixed his gaze on the Navy officers and asked, "Is the news true?"
"Yes!"
"What's their purpose for invading the Holy Land Mary Geoise?"
"I... don't know," the officer shook his head slightly.
"These two wouldn't take such a huge risk and invade the Holy Land Mary Geoise for no reason. They must have their purpose!" Kong said solemnly.
The last time El and others invaded the Holy Land Mary Geoise, it was to find the Eternal Pointer of the Valley of God.
During that invasion, El and others even fought the Five Elders!
Kong was certain that El and others had deeply realized how terrifying the Five Elders' power was during the theft of the Eternal Pointer.
But... since they already knew how frightening the Five Elders' strength was, and how dangerous the Holy Land Mary Geoise was, this time, El again teamed up with Whitebeard to invade the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
There must be a reason, or they must be confident to dare invade!
Kong pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "I'm going to the Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
Although Kong knew that at this time, not only were the Five Elders there, but also Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru were present, he still felt uneasy.
After all, El posed a huge threat to him.
He worried whether El had some plan for this invasion of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
"Admiral Steelbone Kong, we want to go too," Akainu spoke up.
"Why do you want to go?" Kong glanced at Akainu in puzzlement.
"We can't go to the New World, but... at least we want to see the great pirates of the New World," Aokiji said.
"We're just going to watch. Admiral Steelbone Kong surely can't take away that right," Kizaru said leisurely.
Kong looked at the three of them silently for a moment, then said seriously, "Then let's go together. Once we arrive, none of you must approach those two dangerous guys, El and Edward!"
When Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru were still colonels, they had already carried out missions in the New World, and those missions involved observing the dangerous Rocks Pirates!
But for Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji's generation, they have become Navy colonels. Yet have never even been to the New World.
Kong considered that they needed to see the world, so he agreed to take them along.
"Understood."
The three nodded.
On the battlefield, El used the abilities of Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in, constantly pulling and countering two of the Five Elders.
El was extremely confident in his own strength, but he also knew that fighting two against one, his chances of winning were slim.
So he needed to use his abilities to avoid a two-on-one situation as much as possible.
