At this time, the CP0 team leader, in charge of attacking the Amazon Lily, narrowed his eyes.
Of course, he did not question the authenticity of the intelligence. The information passed on to them was extremely credible, but this situation was truly bizarre.
The name Shiro.
Before this, although he was known as the strongest Rear Admiral, he was not nearly as terrifying as he is now.
According to the internal intelligence of the CP organization, in the recent war that ended with the Navy's defeat, Shiro fought against several top Marine powerhouses and even cut off the arm of Admiral Akainu Sakazuki, destroying the entire Marine Headquarter!
The current intelligence notes about Shiro state:
(Controlling more than three natural abilities, a great swordsman who even Hawk Eyes admires for his swordsmanship, mastering all three forms of Haki, and possessing super-strong physical skills, his combat power may rival that of a Marine Admiral!)
These comments are outrageous! For someone so young to possess such powerful abilities is simply inhuman!
Of course, although he had doubts in his heart, as the team leader of CP0, he dared not be careless. After all, intelligence on someone of this level is almost infallible!
And so far, the task is nearly complete. Important facilities and vaults in the Amazon Lily have been completely destroyed! This empire is bankrupt!
As long as they can withdraw safely, the mission will be considered a success.
It's a pity he couldn't witness Shiro's power firsthand. He was curious if Shiro was truly that strong!
"Send the order: Avoid combat with those crazy women of the Kuja Pirates. All personnel at each mission location should withdraw from battle as soon as possible. Also, capture more prisoners. The noble Celestial Dragons seem to enjoy using women from the Kuja tribe as slaves!" The CP0 team leader announced and ordered.
But before he could begin to evacuate, a subordinate suddenly flashed over from a distance.
"Captain, there's a situation!"
"A fleet of seven top Navy warships is approaching from the sea. Is the Navy here to assist us? Strange, such a simple task doesn't require Navy intervention!"
The CP0 agent who conveyed the message wondered.
Ordinary CP0 agents don't know the latest mission details, so they assumed the Navy was coming as reinforcements.
But at that moment, the CP0 team leader in charge of the mission was stunned, and cold sweat began to drip down his body.
They had just experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Shiro during the war. The Marine Headquarter was too busy—how could they possibly send a fleet of seven top Navy warships to support them?
And according to the intelligence, when Shiro, the Pirate Empress, and others left Marineford with 30,000 Navy defectors, they seemed to have commandeered several top Navy warships.
Could it be!?
Daring not to hesitate any longer, the CP0 team leader planned to order an immediate retreat.
But before he could speak, another message came.
The fleet of seven top-level warships had already secured all the important shipping routes on the sea. The CP organization's retreat route was blocked!
"Damn it! The Navy's top warships can sail freely even in the Calm Belt. The situation is urgent—send the order to capture as many hostages as possible and increase the leverage in our hands! The top commander of Amazon Lily is that old woman, Gloriosa. I'll deal with her!"
"Captain, is it necessary to be so nervous?"
"Don't be careless! The enemies are the former Warlord of the Sea, the Pirate Empress, and the one who destroyed Marine Headquarter, the Navy traitor, Shiro!"
.....
As the CP organization began to change tactics, the Amazon Lily garrison also discovered the approaching fleet. Upon learning this, Gloriosa nearly jumped three feet high in shock.
The expressions of Marigold and other female warriors of the Empire Guard were even more grim, filled with the resolve to die in battle to protect the empire!
"It seems the empire can't escape this disaster. I hope Hebihime-sama can return as soon as possible and prevent the empire from being completely destroyed! Marigold, spread the word—besides the Kuja Pirates and the Empire Guard, all citizens should take up arms and prepare to face the invaders!"
Granny Gloriosa adjusted her mood quickly and began to direct their defenses in an orderly manner. However, her heart remained full of worry and sadness.
A formation of seven top-ranking Navy warships—it's just like the launching of a Buster Call, isn't it?!
Not to mention the large number of CP organizations that have already destroyed key locations on Amazon Lily.
What the hell did Hebihime-sama and Shiro do?!
Or perhaps, because of the terrible incidents Shiro committed before, the World Government is planning to directly destroy the entire Amazon Lily for sheltering him!
Granny Gloriosa dared not think further. Even though she deeply resented Shiro and the Pirate Empress for disregarding the life and death of the empire, right now, it was a matter of survival!
"The dark clouds are gathering. Warriors of the Kuja, pick up your swords and defend this country! Hebihime-sama will come back to support us soon!"
At that moment, Granny Gloriosa looked at the dark clouds suddenly gathering, a look of determination flashing across her old, wrinkled face, and gave the order for a decisive battle!
"Old woman, how old are you? What are you fighting for?!"
At that moment, the CP0 team leader used the speed advantage of the Rokushiki technique Soru to arrive directly in front of Granny Gloriosa and the others.
As the current supreme commander on Amazon Lily's side, he believed Granny Gloriosa had great value, at least in saving a few lives!
Damn it! How did Shiro and the Pirate Empress return so quickly?! Damn it! How could the women of the Kuja Pirates be so capable of fighting, delaying their mission until now?!
"Once failed this empire. Today, I will never make the same mistake. I will coexist with Amazon Lily!"
At that moment, Gloriosa was very serious. She raised her crutch, facing the powerful enemy without fear!
"Oh? Then, let's get rid of you first!"
The CP0 team leader sneered, then stretched out a finger.
Swoosh!
A Shigan (Finger Pistol) shot out, aiming directly at Gloriosa!
"Granny Gloriosa, be careful!"
Margaret, seeing that Granny Gloriosa was in danger, immediately flew forward to block the attack!
Clang!
Marigold blocked the attack with her sword, but the sheer force made her take a few steps back, and a strand of her hair was cut down.
"What a beautiful and fiery warriors!"
The CP0 team leader admired the youthful beauty of Marigold through his mask and decided to bring this female warrior back to the Celestial Dragons as a slave!
And just when CP0 planned to knock out Marigold first and take Granny Gloriosa as a hostage...
Suddenly—
Boom!
Thunder exploded!
"What do you like?"
