One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 200: The Idea Transporter

After discovering the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Merry, which had been lingering in the waters near Marineford, immediately started moving.

Luffy and Zoro stood on the forecastle deck, clearly unable to hold back any longer.

"You two, control yourselves."

Sanji took a drag from his cigarette and stepped forward, placing a hand on Luffy's shoulder and speaking earnestly, "Especially you, Luffy. I know you're anxious. You have to hold it in later, otherwise things will only get more troublesome."

"Phew—"

Luffy let out a long breath and nodded. "I know. As long as we can save Ace."

Hearing this, Sanji also relaxed a little.

They didn't have a very detailed plan for this operation. On a battlefield filled with top-tier powerhouses, an overly detailed plan was useless.

The Marines would adapt to any changes on the field. They had deployed a full three Admirals and two legends from the older generation precisely to deal with unexpected situations.

Reiner and Sanji had discussed it long ago. Their force wasn't particularly strong in this war, but it wasn't weak either.

Their biggest advantage was that no one expected them, so they would act as a surprise attack team.

The ship was steered by the undead, and the crew sat in a circle on the deck.

"We'll leave the main battlefield to the Whitebeard Pirates later."

Sanji once again reminded everyone, "We wait for the right opportunity to strike. We must use this sole advantage to create the biggest possible opportunity."

After they made their move, the Marines would definitely react quickly, and it wasn't impossible that an Admiral would be drawn over. At that point, they would have to give it their all.

"Although I'd really like to meet Pops, I'll try my best to restrain myself."

Jinbe sat cross-legged and spoke calmly, "With these few days of rest, I've recovered my condition. I should be able to help you all out a little."

"You're already super strong, Jinbe."

Luffy didn't hold back his praise and said with a smile, "Thank you for being willing to help us."

"You're welcome, Luffy. I also really hope we can save Ace," Jinbe nodded in response.

Jinbe was indeed very strong, and Reiner had also acquired his template.

Because he was a pure physical fighter, the undead could utilize his strength very well. With two Jinbes, they could even exchange a few blows with an Admiral.

Among the more powerful undead he currently had were Sukuna, the War Ogre, Frieren, and the newly acquired Bullet template from the great underwater prison.

These four all had the ability to resist an Admiral, especially Sukuna and the War Ogre.

In Impel Down, Garp had to use his Conqueror's Haki-infused moves at full power to suppress them.

"Anyway! Thank you all very much, Jinbe, Iva-chan!" Luffy grinned and thanked the two of them again.

"No need to say that, Luffy-boy."

Ivankov winked and smiled, "After all, you're the boss's son. I definitely can't just sit by and watch you two brothers in danger."

Ivankov knew that Whitebeard's crew all called him "Pops," so unlike others, he didn't think Ace was Whitebeard's son.

Knowing the relationship between Luffy and Dragon, he naturally assumed Ace was also his son.

"Ace and Luffy aren't biological brothers!"

Hearing this, Nami turned her head and explained to Ivankov, "Only Luffy's father is Dragon. Ace's father is Roger."

She had heard Reiner mention this back on Skypiea.

But clearly, the others who didn't know were still taken aback.

"Roger?!!"

Usopp immediately scrambled forward and put his hands on Luffy's shoulders. "Hey Luffy! Is it true? Ace is the Pirate King's son?!!"

"Yeah."

Luffy spoke calmly, but his words were astonishing. He didn't forget to add, "But you can't say it in front of Ace. He'll get angry."

"I see."

Even Jinbe was shocked. "No wonder the Marines are holding a public execution and using it to go to war with Pops."

This was also why Reiner didn't think they could trade a Celestial Dragon for Ace's life. It wasn't just the Marines who wanted Ace dead; the Five Elders above them did too.

One Celestial Dragon wasn't worth enough for the trade.

The entire Summit War, on the Marine side, was fought with two main targets: Whitebeard and Ace.

Rumble!!

Just then, as if a thunderclap had sounded on flat ground, a huge, deafening explosion occurred, followed by a surging tide rushing towards the Merry.

"Don't be so surprised yet," Reiner suddenly said.

Everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn towards the approaching Marineford.

Outside the heavily guarded Marine Headquarters, dozens of huge pirate ships had appeared at some point.

And in the crescent-shaped bay, there were three white warships shaped like whales. A man of unusually large stature stood straight at the bow of one.

Behind him, Phoenix Marco, Diamond Jozu, Flower Sword Vista, and more than a dozen other commanders were lined up!

Whitebeard's thick arms were spread out at his sides. The air around his fists cracked as if it were a glass plate!

The entire sea instantly boiled. The water level around Marineford dropped rapidly, and wall-like waves surged out from him as the center!

"The ship is moving backward!" Chopper cried out in alarm.

The tremor caused by Whitebeard's initial attack created a huge receding tide, and the Merry was pushed back continuously by the surging waves.

Nami knew this attack was far from over and immediately gave orders.

"Furl the sails! We'll use power propulsion! The returning tide will be terrifying! Evade to the twelve o'clock position to the right!"

"Got it!" Reiner immediately moved to summon the undead and followed her instructions step by step.

He furled the sails and once again used the Super Express Shrimp to pull the Merry, moving against the tide to circle around to the side of Marineford.

Before long, the turbulent sea surface gradually calmed down, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it over?"

"No, it's probably just beginning."

Nami's expression couldn't help but turn grave. "Reiner, don't stop."

As soon as her voice fell, a whistling sound came from the far distance.

Standing up and leaning against the railing at the ship's edge, the group all looked in that direction.

On the sea surface that had just calmed down, a white line inexplicably appeared horizontally?

"What's that? A returning tide?" Usopp subconsciously raised his binoculars.

The appearance of the white line became clear through the two dark, narrow tubes, and it scared him so much his mouth fell open. "It's! It's a tsunami!"

"Run, Reiner!"

"We're going to die!"

"Aren't I running? Don't make such a fuss."

Reiner gave Chopper and Usopp a playful smile. "If you're like this now, won't you wet your pants when we get on the battlefield later?"

"You're full of it!"

"I'm not that kind of deer!" the two retorted, baring their teeth.

By the time the giant wave came whistling towards them, the Merry had already escaped its range and arrived in the sea area to the side and rear of Marineford.

"This is a bit too exaggerated!"

"This is the power of Whitebeard."

Looking up at the tsunami that towered into the clouds like a blue mountain, Franky and the others couldn't help but marvel, finding it hard to believe this was a power a human could achieve.

"If that tsunami hits..."

"Marine Headquarters would probably be destroyed."

"But..."

Zoro rested his arm on the hilt of his sword at his waist and said lightly, "If it were that simple, the Marines would be a joke."

Crack!

Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, the tsunami, which was collapsing like a mountain with the force of ten thousand tons, actually began to show a layer of white frost on its surface.

—Crack, crack!

A layer of ice appeared and then rapidly covered the entire tsunami, freezing the terrifying giant wave in the blink of an eye!

A dazzling light reflected from the ice crystals, twinkling incessantly.

Even though they were at the side and rear of the island and couldn't see the scene at the front plaza, who else in the Marines besides that man could pull off such a feat?

"It's Aokiji, isn't it..."

Sanji slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He couldn't help but think of the scene on Long Ring Long Land when the other had frozen the sea, and sighed, "His moves are as exaggerated as ever."

"Let's land too, Franky," Reiner said, turning his head and motioning with his chin.

Franky gave an "OK" sign and jumped into the cockpit. "Leave it to me! Shark Submerge, launch!"

After the submarine on the side of the ship was sent out, Luffy jumped down directly, and Reiner followed closely behind.

"All ability users, get on."

Zoro, Sanji, and the others who hadn't eaten Devil Fruits, on the other hand, dived directly into the water to sneak in.

Finally, leaving only some undead to guard the ship, the group quickly swam towards the shore of Marineford.

At this time, on the plaza at the front of the island, after Whitebeard and Aokiji had each shown their power, the war officially began.

Reiner and the others, however, infiltrated the island from underwater, passed through the largely unguarded half of the island, and arrived at the town behind the execution platform, which was originally for the families of the Marines.

No one ever said a war could only be started from the front. First, learn from Whitebeard and coat the ship to attack Impel Down, then learn from Blackbeard and land from the rear.

Reiner stated: I don't produce ideas, I'm just a transporter of ideas.

The plan to attack from the rear is ready!
