Chapter 45: Fatal Flaw

The strength and potential shown by Gangplank are too formidable!

Even Big Mom has to find ways to limit Gangplank's future.

After all, Gangplank is not a member of the Charlotte family. Even if Gangplank successfully marries Big Mom's daughter,

Gangplank will never become the captain of the Big Mom Pirates!

The Big Mom Pirates are formed with blood as the link. Bloodline has also become the biggest constraint for the ordinary crew members of the Big Mom Pirates.

For example, even though Baron Tamago is far more powerful than most of the Charlotte family's children,

He is still just a knight of all nations and can never become a minister of the governing party of all nations!

All the ministers of all nations are the children of Big Mom.

"Fight a bloody path from the front?"

"Are you crazy?"

"The true strength of an Admiral is far beyond your imagination,"

"Every Admiral is an unimaginable monster, and they are definitely not comparable to the candidate Admirals you defeated!"

Baron Tamago is still trying to persuade Gangplank.

Recruiting Gangplank was a task assigned to him by Big Mom, and he did not want the task to fail.

In Wan Guo, the price of mission failure is too high.

Big Mom is a moody tyrant. Even her children are likely to lose their lives if they displease her.

"So what?"

"I am Gangplank, the Scourge of the Ocean!"

Gangplank stared firmly into Baron Tamago's eyes, said with determination and righteousness,

"I will go to Big Mom's tea party, and I will arrive at the New World smoothly,"

"But it will definitely not be by giving up all your subordinates and running away in panic!"

"We can fight to the death, but we will never surrender!"

"Little ones, let's set sail,"

"Towards the Marine Admiral, towards the New World, towards death!"

Gangplank shouted loudly, and then a large number of pirates who learned about all the decisions made by Gangplank immediately launched an earth-shattering shout.

This is the world of pirates. Countless pirates are already prepared to be buried in the sea the moment they choose to go to sea.

And following a captain like Gangplank, dying at the hands of the Admiral of Headquarters!

This ending seems pretty good?

Most importantly, they believed in Gangplank!

Gangplank always leads them to victory one after another, even against the Admiral of Headquarters, they might not lose!

Gangplank's pirate fleet began to move forward amidst the cheers of countless pirate minions.

Baron Tamago's lonely pirate ship and submarine looked so small and ridiculous at this moment!

"Madman, simply a madman!"

"Such a guy is really willing to join the Big Mom Pirates?"

"Can Mom really conquer him?"

Baron Tamago had some doubts in his heart, and then after remembering the terrifying strength of Big Mom, he instantly shuddered and said firmly,

"Mom is invincible!"

"On this sea, no one can refuse Mom,"

"Even he can't be an exception!"

In the Big Mom Pirate Group, almost all members have a heartfelt fear of Big Mom.

On the bow of the Abyss, Gangplank looked at the large number of pirates around him who were looking at him with admiring eyes, with a mysterious smile on his face.

As a once ruthless and scheming pirate king, Gangplank certainly cannot be as upright as he has shown before!

If he truly faces an enemy that is difficult to contend with,

Gangplank would say nothing and could even personally send all the minions under his command on their way.

However, that would be when facing an enemy he is absolutely unable to contend with.

A siege led by an Admiral of Headquarters.

Today's Gangplank may not be able to defeat it smoothly.

In the first half of the Grand Line, after a fierce battle with Admiral Tea Dolphin and a large force from the Navy Headquarters and World Government,

Gangplank's level has successfully risen to level 15, granting him combat power equivalent to that of an Admiral of Headquarters!

With the breeze subtly aiding Gangplank's fleet and mysterious support from the sea,

Gangplank saw no reason why he couldn't break through the siege of an Admiral of Headquarters.

In Valoran, Gangplank once ruled his kingdom and fleet through fear!

Then came betrayal and downfall.

In the pirate world, Gangplank sought to change his approach to ruling.

For instance, by using loyalty and reputation to command the sea.

Establishing himself as a steadfast captain who would never abandon his crew was crucial.

As for the casualties among his minions during the escape from an Admiral of Headquarters,

Gangplank remained indifferent.

Only those who survived the harshest battles were the true elites he needed.

Gangplank's pirate fleet is now heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago. Inside Marineford,

Sengoku, reviewing the latest intelligence from the World Government, frowned and immediately contacted Aokiji!

*brubru*

On a regular warship near the Sabaody Archipelago, Aokiji, lounging and enjoying the sun while wearing an eye patch, answered the call.

"The Sabaody Archipelago ambush plan has been compromised!"

"The Big Mom Pirates intend to marry Gangplank and have dispatched a submarine to transport Gangplank and some of his key crew members directly to the New World!"

"The remaining Gangplank fleet approaching the Sabaody Archipelago is likely just a diversion!"

Aokiji, glancing at Sengoku's phone bug, frowned and spoke quickly.

The Big Mom Pirates, thanks to their world-class intelligence network, learned about the Naval Headquarters and World Government's ambush plan against Gangplank's fleet.

CP0's Stussy, well-connected with Big Mom, also caught wind of the plan to marry Gangplank.

"A marriage between the Gangplank Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates?"

"That's a significant issue!"

"But, as for bait?"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Aokiji, peering into the distance, saw a peculiar pirate ship advancing towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

On the ship's bow, a tall figure wielding a machete and a pistol stood firm, glaring at Aokiji.

The Naval Headquarters' ambush plan was straightforward: dispatch Aokiji Admiral on a standard warship to patrol near the Sabaody Archipelago.

Upon discovering Gangplank's pirate fleet, Aokiji would either eliminate or delay them!

Within half an hour, surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago and preventing the Gangplank Pirates from escaping was the goal.

The plan was flawless in design, but the crucial question remained:

Could Admiral Aokiji truly hold off Gangplank's fleet for half an hour?
