I know the answer to question 270!
I know the answer to question 270!
With a composed and upright posture, and a faint smile on her face, Aini walked naturally to the chair that had been prepared for her, gently pulled it out with a soft rustling sound, and then sat down gracefully.
His posture was upright and comfortable, as if the chair was an extension of his body.
After he sat down, he didn't speak immediately, but slowly looked around. His gaze swept over everyone present.
His gaze finally settled on Sengoku, and a slight smile played on his lips as he said to Sengoku, "With this kind of setup today, I shouldn't be here!"
His voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the quiet room.
Upon hearing Aini's words, Sengoku couldn't help but chuckle. His laughter was like a gentle spring breeze, carrying a hint of warmth and teasing: "Shouldn't? Perhaps! But you absolutely deserve it."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru. His eyes held a hint of amusement, as if he were watching a captivating performance.
Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru all had different expressions on their faces when they heard Sengoku's words.
But no one spoke up to refute it.
Because they all knew in their hearts that Aini truly deserved it.
Aini glanced around at his surroundings. He didn't actually feel much awe for the serious and power-filled meeting setting he was in.
He didn't intend to dwell on this too much, after all, he wasn't the kind of person who would waste time on unimportant emotions.
He asked directly, "I wonder why the Warring States Marshal made an exception and allowed me to attend such a meeting?"
His voice was clear and loud, echoing in the quiet conference room, without the slightest fear or hesitation.
Zhan Guo sat upright at the head of the conference table, his face bearing the composure and fortitude of someone who had been through many battles.
Hearing Enni's question, he answered without hesitation, stating frankly, "We received intelligence that the Whitebeard Pirates will arrive at Marine Headquarters tomorrow. But we've been discussing this for several days..."
At this point, Sengoku frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes: "But we haven't come up with an effective way to deal with Whitebeard."
His voice carried a hint of helplessness, after all, the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation was legendary throughout the seas.
"what?"
Aini looked surprised, her mouth slightly open, her eyes filled with disbelief.
In his eyes, he was just a whitebeard, even though his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability was powerful enough and he himself was incredibly strong.
However, he was getting old, and the years had left indelible marks on him. His physical functions were not what they used to be.
The fact that one's movements are no longer as agile as when one was young is still a minor problem.
The biggest problem was that he had health issues; in the original story, Marco was often seen giving him IV drips.
Aini thought to himself that he could pick any two people present and have them fight him head-on. With his youthful strength and energy, he could wear him down.
So why go to such great lengths?
They even held meetings for several days about it, which Aini thought was making a mountain out of a molehill.
In the tense and ominous atmosphere of the conference room, Sengoku sat in the main seat, his eyes deep and solemn. His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Eni.
Aini looked serious, his brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.
Seeing Aini's expression, Sengoku immediately gave a helpless bitter smile, a smile tinged with bitterness and resignation.
He slowly stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Gentlemen, in fact, defeating Whitebeard is not a difficult task. The Whitebeard Pirates are indeed powerful, and Whitebeard himself possesses terrifying abilities like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but our Marines are by no means insignificant either."
We have many capable generals and advanced weaponry, such as the pacifists.
Therefore, even if we want to kill Whitebeard, as long as we fight with all our might and pay a certain price, we can do it.
At this point, Sengoku paused, a hint of worry in his eyes, and continued, "But we can't only have the Whitebeard Pirates as our enemy."
On this turbulent sea, many other forces are also eyeing our navy covetously.
Those pirates lurking in the shadows, along with some other unscrupulous forces, are waiting for the opportunity to weaken both us and the Whitebeard Pirates so they can profit from the situation.
We can't possibly go to any lengths for the sake of the Whitebeard Pirates.
If we suffer too many losses in the battle against the Whitebeard Pirates, other enemies will inevitably take advantage of the situation, and our navy will be in a very dangerous position.
"Moreover, this war was fought within the Admiralty headquarters."
Sengoku's voice was deep and powerful. He paced slowly, his tone carrying a hint of caution. "Although the Navy Headquarters has the advantage of home ground, we know the terrain here very well and have complete defensive facilities and logistical support."
Our soldiers are familiar with the environment and can better utilize their abilities. They've even laid out a plan and are ready for battle...
However, we also have many concerns.
Naval Headquarters is not just where we fight..."
At this point, Sengoku stopped and then looked intently at Aini.
Enni was exceptionally intelligent, and upon hearing Sengoku's words, he immediately grasped the key point. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out, "The Marine Headquarters itself!"
Upon hearing Aini's words, Sengoku's eyes, which had been slightly worried, immediately lit up, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Talking to smart people is so easy and effortless! They understand everything immediately, without needing to waste time with unnecessary words.
Sengoku nodded slightly, gave Enni an approving look, and said, "That's right, the Marine Headquarters itself is our biggest concern... So we must not only defeat the Whitebeard Pirates in this battle, but also protect the integrity of the Marine Headquarters. We can't let it be too badly damaged, otherwise it will affect morale."
This requires us to develop a comprehensive battle plan that ensures victory while minimizing losses.
At this moment, everyone in the conference room fell silent. They had been thinking for a long time but hadn't come up with a good, feasible solution.
Aini couldn't suppress the smile on his face, because he knew the answer to this question!
So he said, "Severely injure Whitebeard before he makes a move, or before he truly unleashes his power. This will significantly reduce his fighting strength."
Ultimately, he's just getting old.
"Severely injure Whitebeard before he truly unleashes his power!!!" Akainu's eyes widened.
It's as if it's saying, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
That's Whitebeard!
