----------
Realizing this, the two Five Elders quickly thought of something.
The Sky Kingdom, which has air supremacy and flight capabilities, is likely targeting two locations this time.
One is Water Star Island, the focus of this world war, and the other is the continent under their feet.
Considering that Water Star Island is just a way to distract and drain Marine and government forces, then the most likely destination for the enemy is the Holy Land of Mariejois. Not to mention that it's currently during the World Summit period, and almost all the kings of the member countries around the world are on this Red Line continent. This is indeed the best time to drag the entire world down as quickly as possible.
Regardless of where Alex's confidence comes from, and thinking about the scheming of that wolf's ambition, the two couldn't help but become cautious about this. They quickly ordered the nearby CP agents: "Launch Mariejois's defenses! Mobilize all the forces of the twenty royal families to expand the security network! Also mobilize the joint fleet of the allied countries!"
After giving the order, the blonde Five Elder said, "These add up to at least about 400,000 elite troops. That should be enough to resist any possible attacks from the Sky Kingdom."
The 400,000-strong army, made up of elite government forces, has combat power that wouldn't be ashamed even when facing a million-strong army from the world's superpowers. The level is even comparable to the large army that went to Water Star Island this time.
"As long as that guy's country really appears in the area near the Holy Land, immediately order the troops from both battlefields to return! Combine our forces and completely eliminate the government's biggest threat here in one fell swoop."
The sword-wielding Five Elder holding the Shodai Kitetsu said coldly, with murderous intent in his words.
Compared to the villains of Water Star Island, or the Revolutionary Army and criminals from Impel Down, the most important thing at this moment is the Sky Kingdom!
Just as the Five Elders guessed, at this time, using the Float-Float Fruit's power, Alex was heading toward Mariejois at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters where no one could see him.
Although he wasn't on the battlefield of Water Star Island, whether through the live broadcast or direct communication from the flying battleship personnel over there, Alex could clearly understand the changes in the battle situation.
"Lord Alex, according to the Shadow Guard's report, the government has increased their efforts to clean up. Judging from this speed, the situation on Water Star Island will be completely controlled by the Marines and their allies in less than an hour."
Listening to Robin's report, Alex nodded. "It seems the message from the Holy Land has gotten through."
The measures taken by the two Five Elders in the Holy Land were naturally within Alex's information network. After all, it was quite convenient that the representative mobilizing the royal forces in the Holy Land was Catarina's disguise as the Celestial Dragon elite, Saint Palazzo Lor Jabbert.
"But it doesn't matter. Haven't we already predicted this kind of situation?" Alex smiled calmly. "Tell them we can start. They probably can't wait any longer."
The news was conveyed by Law and Hiyori to the crew members on Water Star Island.
Knowing Alex's permission, Nami, Zoro, Laffitte, and others all looked excited, especially Carina and Nojiko. After all, their real abilities could finally be used at the critical moment of winning the world for Lord Alex.
On Water Star Island, if the situation had changed from being evenly matched at the beginning to one-sided, then the battlefield at this moment was undoubtedly in a crushing situation.
Basically, only Kaido and Laffitte, who fought Akainu and Kizaru one-on-one, still played a big role. The Beast Pirates and the criminal pirate crews were all killed by the crazy offensive launched by the Marines and government - about eighty to ninety percent of them.
Not to mention that the Sky Kingdom, which they had high hopes for, didn't participate in the war and just stood by watching. And the red-haired crew of the Four Emperors was helping the Marines and government deal with them!
The direction of the war could already be seen.
No matter how terrifying these New World forces were, in the end, it was difficult to escape defeat under the hands of all Marine elites, government weapons, and CP agents.
Although this was the case when the Sky Kingdom didn't make a move, even if they did act now, it might not be able to reverse the situation.
It's just that endings often go against expectations. Just as the Marines were about to slowly claim the fruits of victory, someone soon discovered that something was wrong.
The Beast-type SMILE users, who had previously shown their power alongside the Seraphim and giant war weapons, suddenly started attacking the Marine camp frantically, as if something had gone wrong.
Marines and government soldiers caught off guard were directly torn apart, and even Seraphim were being destroyed.
"What's happening here?!"
Elder Saturn frowned, and even Akainu, who was fighting with Kaido, noticed this situation.
"The counterattack is about to start!" A thunderous "Thunder Bagua" blasted away Akainu's giant magma fist, and Kaido showed a hearty smile.
"Counterattack?! Don't be joking! Whether it's you or Alex, you bunch of sea trash can't escape being wiped out by justice. That's why that Alex fellow escaped before the battle."
After just a few glances, Akainu stopped paying attention and continued to concentrate on fighting Kaido in front of him.
This guy's trouble lies in the improved physical abilities brought by his Mythical Zoan awakening. For a while, he and Kizaru working together for several hours still haven't defeated him.
However, as time goes on, the two of them will definitely exhaust the enemy's stamina first, not to mention that the war situation has become clearer.
As for the situation with the SMILE users, the government's problems will be handled by the Five Elders who are almost succeeding him in commanding the Marines.
"Ara ara, Sakazuki, you still like talking bad things behind people's backs so much."
Whoosh!
Seeing the person coming, Akainu fired a "Dark Hound" condensing ultimate high temperature without saying a word.
Knowing Akainu's tricks, Kuzan immediately threw out several ice spikes for defense.
Where the two attacks met, a large expanse of boiling steam rose immediately.
"Is the Fleet Admiral battle going to be staged again... It seems it really is time to fight back."
Kizaru looked toward the flying battleship and saw that the famous BIGMOM Legion of the Sky Kingdom was ready to go and landing on the island.
