Chapter 150: The Central Authority's Action

Calm Belt!

When hundreds of thousands of people on the Island of World Military Draft chose to follow Shiro and joined the army of the Central Authority, heading to the Central Base, they were all struck by an overwhelming sense of awe and gratitude.

First, they were moved by their supreme commander, Shiro, who fought for their survival for four minutes, giving them hope against the impossible.

Such a situation in the Navy is almost unheard of. After all, who doesn't know the current Fleet Admiral Akainu, a titan who believes in "absolute justice," willing to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to complete his mission?

Shiro's behavior was a shocking contrast.

As a result, the soldiers' hearts were now resolute, fully loyal to the supreme commander of the Central Authority. They were willing to go through fire and water for him.

The First Shock came from witnessing the capabilities of the Central Authority.

They had passed through a single gate and instantly traveled from the New World to the Central Base, located in the Calm Belt. Even the best Navy battleships couldn't cover such a distance in such a short time! The power of this feat left them stunned.

The Second Shock was the grandeur of the Central Authority. It was not inferior to the old Marineford, and in many ways, it surpassed it!

The lavish infrastructure appealed to the soldiers, impacting their quality of life and training conditions—critical for their commitment.

After arriving at Central Base, the massive army was taken by Zephyr for rigorous training before officially entering the battle sequence.

The presence of Zephyr, once the instructor, was crucial for the Central Authority's development. His prestige and ability to train new recruits were invaluable. With Zephyr, Aokiji, and the introduction of Rokushiki training methods, the Central Authority now had an edge. Every member could now train in these techniques, which were also being promoted in the Amazon Lily.

Under the guidance of Gloriosa, appointed by Hancock, the Kuja Pirates' female warriors were making rapid progress.

In the Central Base's Operational Conference Room, Zephyr stood helplessly, facing the concerns of Boa Hancock, Momousagi, and Nico Robin.

"Now, are the three of you satisfied?" Zephyr asked, shaking his head.

"I told you Shiro would be fine."

Just an hour ago, when Hancock and Robin had been teleported back, they had nearly lost their minds, trying to return through the portal to save Shiro. But Shiro had warned them not to try reversing the portal, as it could lead to unforeseen consequences.

Zephyr had to bring Aokiji and Momousagi to forcibly stop them from doing anything reckless. Once they explained Shiro's situation, even Momousagi had been ready to act. The three women were determined to go through the portal again, but Zephyr managed to stop them.

It wasn't until Shiro sent a message of safety that the women finally calmed down.

To be honest, Shiro was enviable. The three most extraordinary women in the Pirate World were in love with him. What more could he ask for?

"Please stop teasing us. According to Shiro's orders, let's proceed with the plan,"

Momousagi quickly interjected, her face slightly red. Unlike Hancock and Robin, her relationship with Shiro was different. She had a title: Aunt. Though it was merely a formality, Zephyr took every chance to tease her about it.

"Haha, very well. It's time to focus on our next move."

With a knowing smile, Zephyr began outlining their plan.

According to Shiro's strategy, the collapse of the Navy was inevitable. Despite any efforts the Navy Headquarters made to stabilize the situation, they couldn't cover all their bases. This gave the Central Authority a golden opportunity.

Their next mission: Enter the East Blue and South Blue—the two seas that bordered the first half of the Grand Line. They would offer terms to Navy bases willing to surrender and forcefully take over the ones that resisted. The goal was to dominate the first half of the Grand Line within a short period of time, establishing control over all Navy branch bases.

With their Headquarters in the Calm Belt, the Central Authority was poised to dominate the first half of the Grand Line and secure control over the East Blue and South Blue.

Meanwhile, the Navy Headquarters would be focused on controlling their bases in the New World, where pirates would be tearing into them. Even the G-1 Base was at risk of destruction.

However, Shiro wouldn't be participating in this plan. He had other actions to carry out in the New World. Zephyr would lead the charge in the Grand Line and oversee operations in the Four Seas.

To bolster their numbers, Shiro handed over control of the Mechanical Soldiers to Enel, and the Central Base still had tens of thousands of robotic troops ready for battle. Soon, the world would be shocked by the power of the Central Authority.

Zephyr then decided: Boa Hancock and Momousagi would remain at Amazon Lily and the Central Base to oversee operations, while Zephyr and Aokiji led the army into the East Blue and South Blue. Enel and Fujitora would focus on securing the first half of the Grand Line.

Time was of the essence. They needed to complete this strategic mission and secure as many Navy branch bases as possible before the Navy Headquarters could respond and before the World Government took its next step.

And so, with Zephyr, Aokiji, Fujitora, and Enel leading, the four armies swiftly departed the Calm Belt.

As the sun began to set, the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock, gazed toward the New World, a deep sense of worry in her eyes.

"My love... I'll be waiting for your return!"
