Chapter 1038 A strong opponent
In the eyes of the big powers, this is no secret.
It was anticipated and even prepared for.
As for those small and medium-sized forces, especially ordinary civilians, countless people curse the World Government.
Taking someone’s money is like killing their parents.
You know, in these five months.
The population of Gaya Island has increased dozens of times.
Originally there were only one or two thousand people on the island, but what about now?
With the influx of various forces, as well as the pirates and civilians attracted here, the population of Gaya Island has swelled to three hundred thousand.
One can imagine how great the temptation of gold is to the sea.
The World Government made a public announcement.
Gaya Island will be placed under the control of the World Government.
All persons are required to leave Gaya Island within one week.
Anyone who does not leave will be considered an enemy by the World Government.
In order to save time and prevent the forces on Gaya Island from salvaging more gold, the navy was given only seven days to prepare.
In seven days, we will enter the waters of Gaya Island and start a long war of attrition.
At the same time, the World Government began to make plans for Gaya Island.
Establish a naval base on the nearby islands around Gaya Island.
Block Gaya Island’s external communications in an attempt to cut off Gaya Island’s source of supplies.
Due to the rapid population growth, Gaya Island relies on purchasing supplies from other islands.
Some merchants also specialize in this business, sending various goods, products, and most importantly, food to Gaya Island for sale.
But once Gaya Island was completely blocked.
The lack of supplies alone would cause Gaya Island to collapse.
However, this is obviously an oversimplification of Gaya Island.
Simply blocking the sea will not cut off Gaya Island's connection with the outside world.
The Big Mom Pirates' floating Homies can transport supplies, and the Flying Pirates' island battleships can even ignore the sea.
The Hiku Pirates acquired the technology to create island clouds from Sky Island.
This technology already exists on the island of Paros.
By combining the island cloud with the island, the movement of the island warship can be controlled through special equipment.
Although the flying speed is not as fast as Shiqi's control.
But it also demonstrated its ability to launch air strikes.
It has been demonstrated in many wars in the past that the Beast Legion was deployed through island battleships.
Except for the Big Mom Pirates and the Flying Pirates.
Supplies can also be transported through Umit, the "King of Shipping", and the sea is blocked.
It can also be transported through the deep sea and the air.
This is also why Umit has become the overlord of ocean shipping, with transportation capabilities that span both the black and white worlds.
After all, it has the support of the Kingdom of Chronos.
Don't forget, there is also a dark bank on Gaya Island.
Deposit the purchased materials directly into the Dark Bank in the New World, and then withdraw them from Gaya Island.
Navy Headquarters.
Large meeting room.
All the naval commanders present were on high alert.
After receiving the order from Acting Marshal Zhan Guo and seeing such a grand scene in the conference room.
They knew that the war was about to begin.
Basically all the generals of the Navy Headquarters are in place.
Even Kuzan was recalled to headquarters two months ago.
With such powerful fighting ability, it would be a bit of a waste for him to guard the four seas.
Faced with the growing number of pirates, what the navy lacks is manpower, not strong combat power.
Kuzan has had enough experience.
This war is not an all-out war, and the world government will not intervene for the time being.
Military forces were mobilized to guard the four seas, especially freshmen graduating from the elite training camp were sent to the four seas for training.
Resist the more violent pirate era.
Young sailors are always more energetic and eager to prove themselves.
This is also beneficial to their growth.
As for the waters of Gaya Island, they will naturally be left to these high-end combat forces.
Even the sea emperor of the new world only sent out one core cadre, not counting other combat forces.
The power gathered on Gaya Island is enough for the navy to take it seriously.
At the very least, the navy must send out half of its combat power.
"Breath of Mist" Goenitz, a man who is difficult to understand.
"Flame Disaster" Jin, a user of the mythical beast-type Devil Fruit.
Katakuri is now carrying the banner of the Big Mom Pirates.
Just these three people will require three general substitutes, Sakaski, Kuzan and Borsalino, to deal with them.
Among the six core cadres sent by the six sea emperors, these three are considered to be in the first tier.
In addition, "Phoenix" Marco, "Land Crocodile" Long, and "Black Feather" Belia are considered to be in the same tier.
The gap in strength is inevitable.
Although "Phoenix" Marco is only two or three years younger than Jin and Katakuri.
But I have experienced too little hardships.
The environment of the Whitebeard Pirates is too comfortable. Even if they have experienced many wars before, their strength will gradually be overtaken by others.
Today's Katakuri was taught by Typhon when he was young. After Typhon established the monster army and left, he became the backbone of many brothers and sisters of the Charlotte family.
He quickly rose to prominence when the Big Mom Pirates lacked strong combat power and took up the banner of the Big Mom Pirates.
As the monster army released its threat to many forces outside the Big Mom Pirates' territory.
Many pirates invaded the Big Mom Pirates' waters and occupied that vast territory.
In order to protect his territory, Katakuri has fought countless battles over the years.
Especially after the destruction of the monster army, a lot of pressure was added to Katakuri. The strong sense of crisis made him urgently want to become stronger.
Even Linlin has started to take time to exercise, let alone Katakuri who is responsible.
The pressure and growing environment that Katakuri faces are not comparable to those faced by Marco.
Even though Marco had struggled for a while, the Whitebeard Pirates established their dominant position after defeating the John Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates in succession.
In addition, the John Pirates were destroyed and the Silver Axe Pirates entered Wano Country.
As a result, there were no powerful opponents around the Whitebeard Pirates, so they naturally relaxed.
As the body takes shape, how can strength increase without exercise and experience high-intensity battles?
The same principle applies to Jhin.
When he was young, he was sent to study under the "world's number one swordsman" Genryusai Shigekuni, and worked hard to become stronger with his anger towards the World Government.
Experiencing the most systematic teaching.
You know, Genryusai Shigekuni is not only a great swordsman, but also a strong physical warrior.
What Jin learned from Genryusai Shigekuni was more than just swordsmanship.
After that, he followed Kaido in his battles and participated in almost all major battles.
As for Goenitz, there is no need to mention him, he reached the peak as soon as he debuted.
In just two years, he reached the top of the Sky Arena and directly joined the Sky Pirates, becoming the captain of the fleet.
Now, even if facing an old monster like Zhan Guo, he would not be at a disadvantage and could easily deal with it in a short period of time.
