The Next Day
When the World Government announced the end of conscription, a total of 300,000 troops were almost ready to deploy from various branches to the World Government headquarters.
Such a massive movement once again shocked countless forces across the seas.
Cake Island
Charlotte Linlin's base of operations.
"Mamamama." Laughing ominously, Charlotte Linlin stared at the newspaper in her hand while munching on a creamy cake. "What are those five old fogeys at the World Government planning?"
"World conscription made it seem like they were planning to attack the New World, but now all the conscripted troops are actually being sent to the Red Line!"
"And forming an army?!"
"Katakuri, what do you think?"
As Charlotte Linlin's strongest son, Katakuri remained silent for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't know. The only certainty is that the World Government must have some sort of plan."
"Humph."
Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly. A flame ignited in her palm, directly burning the newspaper. "No matter what the plan is, the New World belongs to us pirates. If the World Government wants to enter, it's impossible!"
Wano Country
Island of Onigashima
Kaido, much like Charlotte Linlin, was baffled by the World Government's actions.
Such a massive force...
The most plausible explanation was that they were preparing to attack the New World.
After all, whether it was the Four Seas region or the first half of the Grand Line, the World Government didn't need such a large army. One Marine Headquarters was sufficient.
Only the New World was beyond their control.
But why were these troops all sent to the Red Line?
Could it be to guard the slaves?
Or perhaps the World Government had too much idle money with nowhere to spend it?
Kaido couldn't figure it out. He glanced at King and asked, "King, have the others made any moves?"
"Boss Kaido, no, they're staying within their territories as usual."
"I see."
Kaido thought for a moment, exhaled sharply, and burned the newspaper before picking up his sake gourd to take a swig. "Thinking about this gives me a headache. Forget it. If no one else is making a move, what's there for me to fear? Anyway, the New World belongs to us pirates. The World Government and Marines won't be able to enter."
"Give the order. Any ship flying the World Government's flag that we encounter must be destroyed!"
"Yes, Boss Kaido!"
The people of the New World were unaware that when all the soldiers arrived at the Red Line, they were ordered to march through a massive golden portal, stepping into a different world.
Now, Kaos was inside a tent, meeting with the three Admirals of the army.
Yes, Army Admirals!
There were quite a few powerful figures.
In the original story, there were Admiral-level powerhouses like Fujitora.
However, this wasn't the time period of the original story.
Naturally, they couldn't recruit Fujitora just yet.
But there were unexpected gains.
One was a middle-aged man named Rand, who possessed the Power-Power Fruit. He could imbue tremendous strength into any attack, unleashing devastating power, and he was also a master of Armament Haki. A definite Admiral-level fighter.
Rand hailed from a kingdom in the first half of the Grand Line, where he served as the kingdom's Admiral. The World Government recruited him under the condition that his country would becomes a member of the World government.
This was a man deeply committed to his country, making him relatively easy to control.
As for the other two...
Kaos was pleasantly surprised.
One of them was Momousagi, an Alternate Admiral from the original story. Now, she had become a full-fledged Army Admiral!
"Your Highness Kaos!" x3
The three knelt on one knee before Kaos.
He gestured for them to rise, his gaze lingering momentarily on Momousagi.
Compared to the original story, Momousagi was younger now, her fair and slender legs exposed, captivating the eye.
However, Kaos had seen his fair share of long legs.
He quickly shifted his attention and spoke. "Do you all understand where we are now?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
All three nodded. Even the usually carefree Tokikake looked astonished.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed in the existence of another world.
No wonder the World Government had made such significant moves recently.
Rand quickly regained his composure and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Kaos nodded. Without any preamble, he said, "The army now has 300,000 troops. Each of you will command 100,000. My instructions are simple:
"Starting from this city, advance in different directions and conquer the surrounding cities. For survivors, accept those who submit and eliminate those who resist.
"Zombies, clear them out entirely!
"During this time, gather all the resources in this world that might prove useful.
"Do you understand?"
While zombies posed a threat, their sheer numbers made them an expendable nuisance. Clearing them out was no issue.
Hearing this, the three Admirals respectfully nodded in agreement.
Satisfied, Kaos dismissed them.
As Rand and Tokikake left the tent, Momousagi suddenly stopped, turned around, and smirked playfully at Kaos.
"Your Highness, do you think my legs look good?"
Clearly, she had noticed his earlier glance.
Ordinary men might have blushed at such a question.
But Kaos simply chuckled and replied, "They're beautiful. I imagine they'd feel quite nice too."
"Humph!"
Momousagi snorted and walked away in a hurry.
With the arrival of the army, the pace of conquest accelerated dramatically.
On the first day alone, three nearby cities were captured with ease, and over 100,000 survivors were rounded up.
By the second day, five more cities fell.
Anyone who resisted met an iron-blooded death.
It seemed the entire kingdom on this island could be conquered in under a week.
On the third day, however, there was an unexpected development.
This surprise didn't come from the army but from the CP organization.
"Your Highness, thanks to Blueno, we've located all the nuclear weapons and disabled them."
"In addition, we've pinpointed the exact location of the country's official overseas outposts!"
