Chapter 433: Sending an Admiral Over to Take Risks?
[Bang!]
In the High-Level Meeting Room of the Army Headquarters, Byrnndi World slammed his hand on the table in frustration, impatiently shouting at Marshal Raymond, who was seated at the head.
"Fleet Admiral, I say stop being afraid of this and that. Doesn't the other side just have the Future Sight Ability?"
"Their Attack Method from start to finish is Howitzers, at most adding those Ship Cannons on the Sea. Let me rush over and beat them up; whatever Means they have will naturally be used then!"
He truly couldn't stand the World Government's current way of doing things. They were too cautious, too careful. It was just Future Sight, what was there to be afraid of?
As long as their side was stronger than the opponent, what did it matter if the opponent knew beforehand?
"Then how can you be sure the opponent doesn't have stronger Attack Methods?"
But Sakazuki, sitting across from him, asked with a cold Expression, his hands crossed on his Chest.
"This Old Man isn't sure!"
"But This Old Man believes Strength decides everything. No matter what Means the opponent has, fight first and talk later. Adapt as you fight!" Ward retorted angrily.
As soon as he said this, many Vice Admirals present nodded in agreement. Even Bullet felt that Ward was right.
It was truly unbearable being blocked at the Star Gate and unable to leave these past few days.
One must know that everyone present basically had a hawkish Personality. Coupled with the Sea Star Powerhouses' consistent strong-attack, strong-offense way of thinking, they strongly disliked the Higher-ups' probing ideas.
In fact, Sakazuki himself was also somewhat annoyed.
"The Star Gate is only two meters wide and is being watched by ten thousand Howitzers, so large Troops definitely can't enter. If we're going to fight, we can only assemble an Elite Squad, and this Squad's opponent is an Army of tens of millions and unknown Unconventional Means. Who among you will go?"
Marshal Raymond expressionlessly swept his Gaze over all the Army Officers present. Every person whose Gaze was met straightened their Chest and head, fearlessly returning the former's Gaze.
Look at who is present!
Army General Sakazuki, Army General Byrnndi World, Candidate Admiral Douglas Barrett, Candidate Admiral Sir Crocodile.
And Shiryu of the Rain, 'Diamond' Jozu, 'Flower Sword' Vista, Charlotte Daifuku, Charlotte Oven, and twelve other Army Lieutenant Generals with imposing Aura.
None of these people feared War; instead, they all showed eager Expressions.
Howitzer bombardment, although it looked terrifying, and being hit too many times could indeed threaten the lives of these Vice Admirals, they could just fly over from the air using Moonwalk, and also avoid stepping on Landmines.
As for the Plight of those two Cipher Pol who were taken out in the air before.
It only showed that the opponent indeed had anti-air Attack Methods, but whether they could injure themselves was another matter, as their Strength was much greater than those two.
"Alright, This Old Man will report to the Five Elders later for instructions. Adjourn the Meeting!"
Marshal Raymond actually also wanted to know if the Other World at Star Gate Number Three had the Ability to deal with their side's mid-to-High-Level Combatants. Otherwise, dragging on like this wasn't a solution, was it?
The dignified World Government was blocked and couldn't even enter the door; it was too embarrassing!
What they didn't know was that Saint Topman Warcury in the Room of Authority was lightly chuckling at this moment: "Actually, we can completely drag this out. The opponent has gathered an Army of tens of millions; This Old Man doesn't believe they can stay there indefinitely. Problems will arise within them sooner or later. On the contrary, our side only needs to ensure a hundred thousand Troops remain on guard."
As the World Government's chief steward, he understood Supplies, logistics, transportation, and other aspects best. Therefore, in his view, there was no need to rush into War at all.
But Saint Jaygarcia Saturn disagreed with this statement.
"We can't compare consumption with the other side without even fighting a single battle. Who knows if they are Paper Tigers, playing tricks with Future Sight, but their actual Strength isn't much?"
"Howitzers, Landmines, Warships, Machine Guns, and the opponent's Individual Weapons are Repeating Rifles with magazine feeding. These things are just numerous. As for any other Unconventional Means, they are still purely speculation at this point!"
His words received the Support of Saint Shepherd Ju Peter. The latter was seen sitting on the Sofa with his legs crossed, speaking faintly.
"No matter what, we must at least establish our own Position on the other side of the Star Gate. We can't just keep watching from across the Star Gate, can we?"
"Then we need to find a way to withstand the opponent's bombardment of ten thousand Guns. Do we have such Means now?"
Saint Topman Warcury retorted.
Ten thousand Heavy Howitzers + Ship Cannons from a thousand heavily armed Battleships, the Firepower of Cannon Fire on this Scale was no joke. They say when people number ten thousand, they are boundless; then ten thousand heavy Guns are much more spectacular.
The opponent's World definitely pulled over all the Howitzers in the Whole World, and it's even possible they built some new ones in the past few years, otherwise, there couldn't be so many.
"..."
The four of them fell silent, all pondering this matter. Did they have anything that could cover the Zone around the Star Gate and also withstand the continuous bombardment of Cannon Fire?
The Paramecia System's Barrier-Barrier Fruit!
This was the Devil Fruit Ability that came to their minds first. But the problem was that Kurozumi Semimaru was killed by Kaido with a single blow. Who knew where this Devil Fruit would undergo Rebirth?
But besides that, there seemed to be nothing else...
Just at this moment, Marshal Raymond's application Document arrived. After the Five Elders finished reading it, they looked at each other, and finally, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was the first to speak.
"This Old Man thinks what Raimon said is correct. First, send an Admiral and a few Vice Admirals to fight over and see. No matter what, we have to try first. As for the risk, this is a War between two Worlds; we cannot be too timid. The necessary Sacrifice actually needs to be borne!"
"Then who should we send?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn asked in a deep voice, holding the Cane in his hand.
The second meaning of his words was, if the opponent truly had the Means to kill Admiral Level Combat Power, then who would take the risk of potentially dying?
"The leading Army General will be Byrnndi World."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn didn't think too much. Although Byrnndi World's Strength was quite a bit stronger than the other Army General Sakazuki, he still chose the former.
There were many reasons, which wouldn't be explained one by one. Those who understood would understand, and those who didn't wouldn't understand even if told.
"But the problem is, if Byrnndi World dies in the World on the other side, will the Momo-Momo Fruit remain there for Rebirth, or will it return to our World?"
Suddenly, Saint Marcus Mars, who was in charge of the Academy of Science, suddenly asked with his hands in his pockets.
"This..."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was stunned, and the other three also changed their Expressions.
That's right, Byrnndi World himself wasn't much; if he was Sacrificed, he was Sacrificed. After all, he was a character who only had Admiral Level Combat Power by multiplying his size a hundredfold.
But the value of the Paramecia System's Momo-Momo Fruit was immense. If this thing was obtained by the opponent's World, it would definitely cause endless future trouble.
Saint Topman Warcury immediately said: "Right, we cannot let Byrnndi World go!"
"If he doesn't go, should we let 'Akainu' go? You're reluctant to part with the Momo-Momo Fruit, but are you willing to part with the Logia System's Mag-Mag Fruit?" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn retorted.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter also chimed in, "If we follow this line of thought, wouldn't we only be able to send Garp? After all, among the Admiral Level Combatants, he seems to be the only Non-Ability User, right?"
The Five Elders fell silent again. Everyone shook their heads and sighed with helpless Expressions. Before knowing whether the opponent had the Means to kill Admiral Level Combat Power, all precious Devil Fruit Users could not be easily Sacrificed.
What should be done now?
The Situation once again fell into a stalemate.
