Warring States Period nodded and said, "According to the intelligence from those monitoring them, they indeed haven't made a move."
"It's precisely because of this that I suspect they must have some kind of conspiracy."
"It's unimaginable how significant an event it would be if the Three Emperors caused a stir in the New World."
If three Four Emperors were to cause trouble simultaneously in the New World, it would trigger a world-class war, and Warring States Period was very worried about such a thing happening.
The current Marines simply couldn't suppress three Four Emperors at once.
After all, the Marines needed to ensure the stability of the entire world; they couldn't abandon everything and fight the pirates like the pirates themselves could.
Even if they could eliminate the Three Emperors, the Marines would suffer heavy losses.
Just the Summit War caused severe casualties for the Marines; while top-tier experts didn't suffer many losses, the middle and lower-ranking Mariness had heavy casualties, and that was only one Four Emperor.
Now, three Four Emperors are gathered. If a real fight breaks out, with one Marines Three Admirals fighting each, can the remaining Marines forces truly suppress three Four Emperors crews?
The more Warring States Period thought about it, the greater the pressure he felt.
Everyone in the office fell silent upon hearing Warring States Period's words.
They also hadn't expected that the gathering of the Three Emperors would genuinely not result in a fight.
If they aren't fighting, could they be discussing some plan, and perhaps a plan targeting the World Government and the Marines?
As Emperor of the Seas of the New World, their every move has a significant impact on the New World.
Especially with the Three Emperors gathered, it's an extremely rare occurrence in pirate history.
Aside from Rocks, who once gathered several future Four Emperors under his command, no one had ever assembled so many powerful individuals.
However, when Kaido, Big Mom, and Whitebeard were with Rocks, their strength hadn't reached its peak, and Kaido hadn't even eaten his Devil Fruit.
At that time, they absolutely did not possess the Four Emperors-level strength and influence they have now.
Now, with the Three Emperors gathered, it's not one Rocks Pirates, but three Rocks Pirates.
Because whether it's Kaido, Whitebeard, or Shanks, they all possess the strength that Roger, Garp, and Rocks had back then.
After all, more than twenty years have passed; if they still had their original strength, they wouldn't be qualified to be Four Emperors now.
After a long while, Garp said, "Should we send a Marines Marine Admiral?"
Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji all became much more serious; this situation truly required only a Marines Marine Admiral to control it.
And at least two Marines Marine Admirals would need to be dispatched to control the situation.
All three knew very well that if the Three Emperors truly launched a combined attack on the Marines, two Marines Marine Admirals wouldn't be enough to hold them off; all Three Admirals would need to be dispatched to have a chance of stopping them.
However, since there were no signs of the Three Emperors making a move, two Marines Marine Admirals would be sufficient to control the situation.
Warring States Period pondered for a long time; dispatching two Marines Marine Admirals was too significant an event, even he, the Fleet Admiral, lacked the confidence to do it.
Because Marine Headquarters needed to retain at least one Marines Marine Admiral, at most, only two Marines Marine Admirals could be dispatched.
Warring States Period thought for a long time and said, "I need to consult the World Government for their opinion on this matter."
Dispatching two Marines Marine Admirals at the same time was too significant an event; he, the Fleet Admiral, simply couldn't bear the responsibility alone.
At this moment, Aokiji said, "With the Three Emperors gathered, Big Mom might also appear. At that time, it won't just be Three Emperors, it might be the first time in history that all Four Emperors gather."
All Four Emperors gathering—that has truly never happened before.
It's unimaginable what a grand spectacle that would be.
But for the Marines, it would be a disaster.
Warring States Period even began to consider mobilizing all Marines forces to respond.
Warring States Period frowned and said, "If all Four Emperors truly gather, we can only mobilize all our forces, and we'll also need the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Those are the Four Emperors, the four most powerful pirate forces in the New World.
Even one Four Emperors crew is enough to influence the world.
Let alone all Four Emperors gathered.
Aokiji stood up and said, "Kizaru and I will make a trip to Wano Country."
Because the situation was so grave, Aokiji lost his usual laziness; after all, it was the Three Emperors, and possibly even all Four Emperors, about to gather.
However, neither Kizaru nor he alone could suppress them.
Akainu remained silent because he knew very well that as the strongest of the Marines Three Admirals, he had to remain at Marine Headquarters.
Garp also stood up and said, "I'll go with them."
Knowing the gravity of the situation, Garp also stood up. Although Garp's strength was not what it once was, he still possessed the power of a weak Admiral.
That was much stronger than going with people of Vice Admiral strength.
Warring States Period looked at them, nodded, and said, "When you travel to the New World, stop by Punk Hazard Island and call Enel. His current strength is already sufficient to be considered for a Marines Marine Admiral position."
Enel's progress was very fast; he had even mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.
He was a talent Warring States Period highly regarded; not many people in the Marines possessed Conqueror's Haki, though Warring States Period himself did.
None of the Marines Three Admirals possessed Conqueror's Haki.
Based on this alone, Enel's potential was slightly stronger than that of the Marines Three Admirals.
Moreover, because he had communicated with Ye Yu many times, Enel's strength grew exceptionally fast.
In fact, Enel's talent was originally slightly inferior to Kizaru's.
But after communicating with Ye Yu, Enel's development of his own power went very smoothly, and he fully exploited his advantages.
This made his future potential even stronger than Kizaru's.
He already possessed the strength of a Marines Marine Admiral, and while not yet on par with the current Marines Three Admirals, he definitely had the strength of a Marines Marine Admiral.
Warring States Period hoped Enel could go along to broaden his horizons.
Enel had been quite busy during this period. After coming out of seclusion, he successively visited Sabaody Archipelago, Fish-Man Island, and Punk Hazard Island. For several months, he was the busiest person in the entire Marines.
Of course, thanks to this period of busyness, his strength increased significantly.
He progressed from a strong Vice Admiral level to the standard strength of a Marines Marine Admiral.
Garp naturally knew Enel; Warring States Period often mentioned Enel to him.
Enel was now definitely a shining star within the Marines, very dazzling.
As Enel's teacher, Kizaru naturally had no objections.
However, Akainu frowned slightly, "Isn't it a bit dangerous for him to enter Wano Country with his current strength?"
Although Enel already possessed the strength of a Marines Marine Admiral.
Enel had only been in the Marines for a few years, and his experience was still insufficient.
Kizaru, however, said, "His current strength is sufficient. He has handled so many things during this period, and his experience is also enough."
"Moreover, with me, Aokiji, and Vice Admiral Garp present, even if all Four Emperors gather, even if we are not their match, we can still escape. Don't forget, Enel is a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, and not many people can catch him."
