Chapter 172 - Chapter 172: Continuing the Seven Warlords Cannon Fodder Plan

Next are the third and second strongest members of the Pink Hat Pirates: the Scientist Shiro and the first mate and Great Swordsman Kuina. Shiro excels in strength and defense, possessing endless power and astonishing defense, equipping herself as a super-technological warrior. Kuina excels in speed and attack, swift as the wind and fierce as lightning, truly a Sword Princess emerging from hell. Moreover, this time they have demonstrated that they can use Supreme King Haki Infusion and execute combined attacks. While I must admit, currently, within the Navy, the only ones who can individually handle these two are Garp and I. Otherwise, dealing with these two requires sending out at least two Admirals. Oh, and right, the aforementioned Tatsumaki and Dia should be treated similarly.

Sengoku immediately brought up the two most important cadres in the Pink Hat Pirates, as well as the two Admiral Level members.

Looking at the photos of these four individuals on the blackboard, the entire Navy became serious, their expressions grave, including the Three Admirals of the Navy.

Because even they had to admit that facing any one of them was difficult.

Shiro and Kuina, who possess Admiral Level strength, although slightly inferior to the Admirals, have special abilities, especially Supreme King Haki Infusion. The two of them can indeed fight them, and winning against them would be very difficult.

Then there is Tatsumaki, who possesses Admiral Level strength. Although she previously surpassed the former two, she has now been overtaken by Shiro and Kuina. At least in the eyes of the Navy, their threat level is higher than Tatsumaki's.

However, they would not underestimate Tatsumaki either, especially Aokiji, who has fought her twice. The sheer power of her psychic abilities ensures that no one present dares to take her lightly.

This includes Dia, who possesses the power of mysterious space. Although her strength is slightly inferior, she is too slippery and simply cannot be caught.

Fighting her is always unpredictable and full of changes. Everyone who has fought Dia or suffered losses against her in this war agrees with this point.

In short, these four must be taken highly seriously, with an emphasis surpassing the first mates of the current Yonko, even Benn Beckman.

But in the next moment, the entire Navy instantly grew serious, and many even broke out in a cold sweat, because Sengoku had begun speaking about Luna.

"Finally, we come to the person with the highest bounty on the current seas, a staggering 6 billion Berries. She is the greatest threat to our Navy and even the World Government on the seas today, inheriting the bloodline of the most vicious and devilish person this ocean has ever known, and possessing the most unsolvable Devil Fruit Ability in this world."

"She also possesses endless imagination, having developed new, higher realms beyond the known peak of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki: Armament Hardening and Conquerors Haki Barrier."

"She is highly intelligent, possesses considerable charisma, and according to rumors, is very skilled at nurturing talent, as every single person in the Pink Hat Pirates was trained by her, or at least provided with good resources. Most importantly, she is Rocks D. Luna, who now possesses the utterly unbelievable and inconceivable ability to resurrect the dead."

"She is absolutely our primary arch-enemy, without exception. Especially since neither the Navy nor the World Government possesses the means to deal with her. Possessing strength that definitively surpasses that of a normal Yonko, I believe everyone present knows how formidable she is."

After Sengoku finished this long speech, everyone in the Navy nodded, regardless of their faction or personal disagreements.

Because they had to admit that Luna was definitely the Navy's strongest enemy today, and the one with the greatest danger and threat level.

Her strength, abilities, intelligence, influence, networking skills, charisma—everything is top-tier, making her practically flawless. She is the Navy's number one arch-enemy and the World Government's number one arch-enemy, without a doubt. This is absolutely not an exaggeration; even the Five Elders now have to admit that Luffy, whose awakening is still uncertain, is less of a threat than Luna is now.

"Furthermore, there is an important point: it is not difficult to see from the Bei Group that Luna is likely planning to expand like the Yonko, but even more formidable. She could be described as a combination of the Yonko. Not only do they possess the tight-knit relationships like Red Hair's, similar to a brotherhood Pirate Crew—the Pink Hat Pirates are a sisterhood Pirate Crew—but the beautiful young women of the Pink Hat Pirates are all extremely powerful, and in terms of individual strength, they surpass the Red Hair Pirates."

"However, at the same time, the Pink Hat Pirates will likely develop many subsidiary Pirate Crews, just like the other Three Emperors. Moreover, they already have a firm relationship with the reborn Rocks Pirates, and combined with Shiro's scientific capabilities, they might very well create such a super-powerful Pirate Crew."

Sengoku immediately stated all of his speculations and thoughts regarding the future specific development of the Pink Hat Pirates and the shape he believed they would take.

"Hiss..." All the Navy personnel present gasped once more, because if such a Pirate Crew were truly allowed to emerge, it would be terrifying.

"Therefore, the Navy truly cannot afford to sit idly by. Although we haven't provoked the Pink Hat Pirates recently, and even though the World Government has backed down somewhat, I intend to take action."

Sengoku said this immediately with a determined look in his eyes.

"Sengoku, do you have any ideas?" Staff Officer Tsuru asked curiously. Even the other Navy personnel were drawn in; they wanted to hear what this 'Tactical Admiral' Fleet Admiral had in mind.

"First, the Warlord of the Sea—oh, now six of those guys must take action. I will contact them, but Tsuru, it would be best if you personally go and issue a threat. The benefits of being a Warlord of the Sea are not given for free; they must perform their duties."

"Alright, I understand. Later, Aokiji and I will take a trip to find Doflamingo," Staff Officer Tsuru said.

"I have no problem," Aokiji immediately replied, indicating his willingness.

"Leave Hawkeye to me." Since no one else in the Navy could handle Hawkeye, the World's Strongest Swordsman, Garp decided to go personally.

"Then I will go find Moria."

"I will go find the Empress."

"I will go find Jinbe."

"I will go find Kuma."

All the Navy personnel spoke up successively, expressing their desire to take action.

But ultimately, after some discussion, Sengoku decided only on the first two: Doflamingo and Hawkeye, because he believed the others still had sense, especially Kuma, who had always been loyal to the Navy.

Although the Empress's side was tricky, he understood the old woman in the Maiden Island.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about the Empress; at worst, they would just make another trip later.

"Alright, that concludes the first point. As for the second point..."
