Chapter 1389 Big event!

Kuro, an equally extraordinary young man, was also infected by the laughter. An uninhibited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he laughed out loud along with Whitebeard. The laughter of the two people intertwined and echoed in this vast space.

After laughing enough, Whitebeard's face gradually became solemn and serious. He stared at Kuro, and his eyes showed both expectations for the younger generation and infinite longing for the future.

"Kuro!" His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to burst out from the bottom of his heart. "Keep this invincible spirit and climb to the top of the world! Let your name resound through the sky and become the star that the world looks up to!"

When Kuro heard this, a firmness and passion flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly, as if announcing his determination to the world.

"Of course!" His voice was soft but full of unquestionable firmness. "I can hear that supreme position calling me in an indescribable way, inviting me to move towards it step by step."

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard's lips curled up into a gratified smile. He picked up the wine bottle beside him and filled a glass of mellow wine for Kuro and himself.

The two men raised their wine glasses, and the crisp sound of their collision seemed like a symphony of fate, echoing in the air.

The fine wine drew beautiful arcs in the air and then fell into the mouths of the two people. No need to say more, everything was self-explanatory.

The two men raised their heads and drank the wine in the cup. The lofty ambition seemed to be integrated into their blood along with the wine.

The next morning, the sun shone on the vast ocean, and the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates fluttered in the wind.

In a solemn atmosphere, Edward Newgate, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, stood on the bow and solemnly announced a surprising decision: they would abandon all their previous territories and only retain Sphinx Island as their base.

This news caused a huge uproar on the sea like thunder.

People looked on in amazement as the Whitebeard Pirates' ship slowly departed, their hearts filled with doubts and confusion.

However, just as the Whitebeard Pirates announced the abandonment of their territory, the Kuro Pirates quickly issued a statement.

In the statement, Captain Reed D. Craw of the Craw Pirates proudly declared that they will completely occupy the New World!

This declaration was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire world. In just three months, the Kuro Pirates had actually completed the unification of the New World!

In the first half of the Grand Line, all forces received this astonishing news.

The Navy, the Army, and the Revolutionary Army, these three forces reacted differently to this news.

At the Marine Headquarters, Admiral Aokiji looked at the intelligence in his hand with a serious expression. Beside him, the hawkish generals left by Akainu's faction were excited and volunteered to fight: "Admiral Aokiji, now is the moment of life and death, we can't sit and wait for death! Let's fight to the death!"

These hawkish generals knew that the navy had been defeated repeatedly in many battles with pirates. Now that Akainu and Sengoku were dead, the navy's strength was no longer as strong as before. Rather than lingering on in the Grand Line, it would be better to fight to the last drop of blood and fight to the death with the Kuro Pirates!

However, the other factions of the Navy remained silent. They knew in their hearts that the Navy had reached the final moment of life and death, and facing the powerful Kuro Pirates, the chances of winning this battle were slim.

In the meeting room of the Navy Headquarters, the atmosphere became depressing and dull.

Kizaru, who had been lazy and unfocused, suddenly woke up like a sleeping lion at this decisive moment and slowly stood up from his seat.

Yellow Monkey's eyes, which were originally half-closed, suddenly opened at this moment, flashing with a sharp light. He glanced at everyone present with a firm gaze, and then stared at Aokiji, his voice steady and powerful: "Take the initiative to fight, and firmly grasp the initiative of the war! If you just wait passively, it will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of you, and you will fall into an irretrievable situation."

Aokiji was originally frowning, as if thinking about something.

Hearing Kizaru's words, he slowly raised his head, and their eyes met in the air.

At that moment, it was as if an electric current flashed through them, and each other's thoughts were unspoken.

Silence is like a heavy rock, pressing on everyone's heart.

A moment later, Aokiji also stood up suddenly.

He held a piece of crucial information tightly in his hand, and the paper turned slightly yellow under the light.

Aokiji's eyes were as sharp as torches, with an unquestionable determination on his face. He slapped the information in his hand on the table!

In an instant, a breath of icy air quickly spread out from him to the surroundings, and wherever it went, the air seemed to be frozen.

The paper was instantly frozen under the attack of the icy breath, emitting a cold blue light.

Then, Aokiji took a deep breath and tried to organize his thoughts so that his voice could be clearly heard in every corner of the conference room.

He ordered loudly: "All officers and soldiers of the navy, go to battle! Now is the time for us to defend justice and protect peace. We must not retreat in the slightest!"

Everyone who heard the order seemed to be injected with a powerful force. They stood up in unison with an "swish", their postures upright, their eyes revealing fearless courage and firm belief.

"Yes, Marshal!!!!" The neat and loud voice, like a heavy hammer, struck everyone's heart and echoed over the entire naval headquarters.

The fighting spirit of the Navy Headquarters spread like a surging tide in an instant. Everyone was ready to fight for justice, and a magnificent battle was about to begin.

...........................

In the wilderness filled with tension and solemnity, the army's temporary headquarters stood like an isolated island in the war-torn world.

Inside the headquarters, the atmosphere was depressing and suffocating, as if the moment of calm before a storm was hiding surging waves.

Marshal Kettley, a famous and highly respected general in the army, was sitting at the table with an angry face.

He held a newspaper tightly in his hands, his knuckles turned white from the force, and veins bulged faintly under his skin. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and tore the newspaper with both hands. The newspaper was instantly torn into pieces, which fluttered down like butterflies with broken wings, with endless embarrassment and unbearableness.

"Why should such a fellow occupy the New World?" Kately's voice was low and hoarse, but it contained endless anger and unwillingness, like the roar of an enraged lion.

His eyes were burning with rage, as if he wanted to reduce everything in front of him to ashes.

"That old guy Zhan Guo actually died there!" His voice suddenly rose, with a bit of disbelief and grief.

Zhan Guo was a famous legendary figure in the navy, but now he has ended up like this. How could he not feel heartbroken?

"Are all the navy members good-for-nothings?!" Kately's words were like sharp daggers, stabbing the navy fiercely.

His face was full of contempt and disdain, as if he was extremely disappointed with the navy's actions.

His chest was heaving violently, and his hands were clenched tightly into fists at his sides, with his knuckles making crackling sounds.

"If I were the Admiral of the Navy now, none of this would ever happen!" His voice was full of confidence and arrogance, as if he was the savior who could turn the tide.

"It's all because of that damn Dorag!" Kately's angry roar echoed in the headquarters, shaking the documents on the table slightly.

His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire.

In an instant, a terrifying domineering aura poured out from his body, like a surging wave, instantly sweeping across the entire headquarters.

The air around seemed to be frozen by this domineering aura, and everyone felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

Wherever that domineering aura went, tables and chairs were shaken to the ground, documents and papers flew everywhere, and the entire headquarters fell into chaos.
