"Only one more hour to go."
Sabo stood on the ship, looking at everyone. "Let's prepare for the next phase of our plan."
"The Beast Pirates have already stationed themselves on the island and are on high alert. The Fishmen, Aerial Forces, and two ships are patrolling nearby. There are five ships in the surrounding waters, with Cannons responsible for long-range attacks."
"So we can't approach directly; we need to disrupt their defenses and attack formations from a distance."
"Fortunately, they are gathered together, which gives us a good opportunity to strike."
"Our strategy is as follows."
Sabo looked into the distance. "Caesar and Ace will coordinate to use Gas Rays and Flame Strike to destroy the Vessel."
"I don't want to coordinate."
Caesar shouted loudly, "I'm not one of you!"
"Whether you want to or not?"
Heckler grabbed Caesar's heart, causing him to roll on the ground in pain while shouting, "Help, help!"
"Very good."
Heckler released his grip, and Ace smiled. "Caesar's Gas Rays have great destructive power. If combined with my flames, we can easily ignite the gas and obliterate a ship."
"The Vessel will be your responsibility."
Sabo looked at the others and said, "Vivi will follow closely behind, unleashing a sandstorm to cover the island. Then Ace will use flames to attack the island."
"This will ensure that the Beast Pirates suffer heavy losses and their basic combat power is weakened. After that, we will launch our assault."
Sabo continued, "I will handle Ken; I have already identified his weaknesses. Ace will take on Queen, and Heckler will deal with that Pterosaur."
"Law, you will confront Mantis Man and the other combat group leaders," Sabo directed Law.
"Don't you need my help to kill Ken?" Law asked curiously.
"No need."
Sabo explained, "Ken is strong. If I fight him alone, it could take a long time to determine the victor. Even with you, we could overpower him, but he can endure for quite a while. Our high-end combat power is insufficient, and your lethality is extremely high, so you should handle the other Officers."
With Law's abilities combined with Armament Haki slashes, even an Elite Vice Admiral would be cut in two.
Whether it's Mantis Man or the other Officers, as long as they are within range of Law, clearing them out will be easy.
"The rest of us will be responsible for countering enemy attacks."
Sabo looked at everyone and said, "The Beast Pirates are strong, but they are not invincible, especially with Kaido underwater. We have Christmas to help relay signals."
"But we must also be prepared to pay the ultimate price."
Heckler coldly stated, "This is a life-and-death battle. If you're afraid of dying, then stay here."
"That's right."
Sabo slowly said, "If anyone is unwilling to fight, now is the time to speak up. Once the battle begins, the more you fear, the faster you will die."
As Sabo's words fell, no one stepped forward. Among those present were some of Xiaqiu's subordinates and people he had saved, who owed him a debt of gratitude.
The ones cooperating were two: Sabo and Nami. Both were powerful; the former was not afraid of death, while the latter had enough confidence in herself.
No one was willing to leave; they all chose to fight.
Brrr brrr brrr!
At that moment, the Transponder Snail rang. Heckler answered it and frowned. "Yes, we're almost there. We're ready to attack. Do we need... hmm, never mind? Your captain has wiped out the Beast Pirates?"
After saying this, Heckler and everyone on the ship froze in place.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Heckler hung up the phone and looked at the others, slowly saying, "It seems we might not need to fight after all. The captain has single-handedly destroyed the Beast Pirates."
"How is that possible..."
Kera couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you saying that Mr. Xia defeated Kaido and then crushed the Beast Pirates?"
"Exactly."
Heckler replied, "Just now, aside from the two ships from Patrol, the Beast Pirates have been completely wiped out."
"Could it be that Christmas was captured?" Ace couldn't help but ask.
"It’s impossible, and it must be true."
Heckler took a deep breath and said, "Because I heard the president's voice."
"Then let's go take a look," Sabo suggested. "We still have an hour before we get there."
The group moved forward in shock and disbelief. Half an hour later, they encountered a ship hastily fleeing toward them.
"It's a Beast Pirates vessel."
Ace and the others rushed forward, easily overpowering the ship and capturing the fleeing Crowman to find out what had happened.
The giant beast had slaughtered the entire Beast Pirates crew. Crowman, one of the Combat Team Leaders responsible for patrol, explained the situation before choosing to leave.
"It seems like it might be true," Sabo thought with a furrowed brow.
They continued onward, approaching the Deserted Island, but the first thing they saw was a floating plank on the surface of the sea.
"The president is over there."
Cecilia raised her telescope, her expression a mix of excitement and concern. "There are many corpses; the president really did kill them all."
After verifying their findings, they moved closer to the coast.
"President."
Cecilia and Heckler leaped down, arriving in front of Xiaqiu, their expressions filled with excitement.
Vivi Elken and Feng Kelei followed closely behind.
Sabo, representing the Revolutionary Army, along with the Straw Hat Pirates and other members of Baroque Works, gathered around.
"Are you all okay?" Xiaqiu asked them.
"We're fine," Heckler replied with a smile. "Our injuries have healed, and we're planning to attack the Beast Pirates."
"Boss, your injury..." Cecilia asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious," Xiaqiu yawned. "I just need a few days to recover."
Having eaten too much, he realized that his body required significantly more Evolutionary Energy to heal properly.
With such physical condition, it would take at least a week or so to fully recover.
"That's good to hear."
Xiaqiu's subordinate let out a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.
"Mr. Xia, did you really kill Kaido?" Sabo asked cautiously.
"Yes," Xiaqiu nodded. "It was difficult, but I managed to kill him."
"This..."
Sabo and Kera exchanged glances, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.
Kaido was one of the Four Emperors, capable of claiming the title of the strongest in the world. Some even believed that after Whitebeard's decline, Kaido would be the strongest in the world.
He had been captured many times before and had faced defeat, but no one had ever been able to kill him.
Killing Kaido was far more challenging than merely defeating him.
So, what kind of terrifying strength did Xiaqiu possess now?
"Glad to hear you're all fine."
Xiaqiu scanned the group and suddenly asked, "Where's Ace? Why is Ace missing?"
"Ace? He just took a call and is still on the ship," Vivi replied.
But as soon as her words fell, Ace leaped down from the ship and approached Xiaqiu. "Boss, we have a big problem."
"What is the big deal?" Xiaqiu asked nonchalantly, feeling that nothing was particularly significant at the moment.
"The Navy has captured Neptune King."
Ace said with a serious expression, "They plan to publicly execute him to lure your father out. Once your father learns that you are still alive, he hopes you can help."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaqiu became interested and suddenly said, "Tell me everything that happened."
