Chapter 293: Decapitation Tactic

Three days passed by in a flash. For these three days, the war in Wano Country had maintained a state of fighting during the day and a truce at night.

Three days later, the original force of over one hundred thousand pirates was now reduced to only eighty or ninety thousand, while the female soldiers on Uchiha Feiyu's side had not only suffered no losses, but each of their strengths had improved significantly.

Actual combat is the best method for improvement, especially in this kind of life-or-death battle where one stakes their life. With the existence of Uchiha Feiyu, the "resurrection spring," all the female soldiers fought with complete abandon; it would be strange if their rate of improvement wasn't fast.

Because the number of female soldiers who died was not high, the many pirates in Wano Country for the first two days did not realize that some women who had originally died were reappearing on the battlefield. Even if someone occasionally saw it, they just assumed the other party had only been severely injured and had now recovered.

After all, the humans in this world have incredibly tenacious vitality. Many times, injuries that look like they could kill a person seven or eight times over are merely considered severe injuries, especially since these women all have exceptional physiques, making it even harder for them to die.

It wasn't until yesterday, when pirates discovered a woman who had previously suffered a waist-severing injury reappearing, that the many pirates finally understood that the other side actually possessed the ability to resurrect!

The blow to the morale of these pirates was incomparable. Just in this one day, the casualty rate of the pirates was several times higher than the previous two days. Many pirates even secretly fled Wano Country—though the final result was either falling to their deaths or being eaten by Sea Kings.

"It's about time. If things go on like this, our morale will be completely finished."

Taking a large gulp of alcohol, Kaido spoke drunkenly. Although he looked like a drunken brute, in reality, this Four Emperors' mind was actually very clear; in a world where everyone's intelligence seems to drop, he could even be considered resourceful.

"Indeed... after all, we are not a complete pirate crew, just an alliance of pirates huddling together for warmth. Expecting this kind of alliance to fight a hard battle is completely impossible."

Shanks sighed. In fact, the cohesion of top-tier pirate crews is not weak; many pirates are willing to fight to the death for their captain, but once an alliance is formed, that is a different matter entirely.

"Mamamama!! Then what else is there to say? Gather everyone tonight and execute the final plan!"

Charlotte Linlin said impatiently. Shanks and Kaido looked at each other and both nodded:

"Then let's do it tonight!"

Night fell quietly, and the powerhouses of the three Four Emperors pirate crews all gathered in the palace on Onigashima.

The three All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, the Flying Six, the four Sweet Commanders of the Charlotte Pirates, Charlotte Perospero, and more than a dozen officers from the Red Hair Pirates... It could be said that the twenty or thirty people in the palace were all the backbone of the three major pirate crews excluding the captains. Once this group of people died, even the so-called Four Emperors pirate crews would instantly grind to a halt, and the Emperors of the Sea would become lonely individuals.

These people usually had no friendship, and because they belonged to different Four Emperors pirate crews, they had even fought fiercely several times. However, now they were all very quiet, waiting for something.

A moment later, footsteps slowly approached. Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, Shanks... and a woman who looked like an old witch walked in.

Well, that was Charlotte Linlin's daughter, Charlotte Brulee. She is actually only about 40 years old now. The reason she looks older than Charlotte Linlin is because a portion of her soul was once extracted by Charlotte Linlin.

"It seems everyone is here, so next, let's prepare to start the operation! Brulee, the rest is up to you."

Charlotte Linlin spoke first. Upon hearing this, Brulee nodded slightly and then picked up the huge mirror she had been keeping against her chest.

The mirror trembled slightly, and the originally bright and smooth mirror surface suddenly transformed into a deep, dark vortex. Through the mirror, it seemed as if one could see another strange world.

"Then, everyone, hurry and go in! This time, it can be said that it is truly do or die!"

Shanks shrugged and said with a smile on his face, then he was the first to walk toward the mirror. In an instant, he was swallowed by the vortex within the mirror, as if entering a strange mirror world.

Seeing Shanks's action, the others from the Red Hair Pirates followed directly, all entering the mirror together.

The woman named Charlotte Brulee possesses the ability of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit. The mirror world within it allows one to travel freely between countless mirrors and has many strange and wonderful uses.

In fact, the people of the Red Hair Pirates being willing to enter the mirror world was already taking a huge risk. If the Charlotte Pirates were to lose their minds and directly seal the mirror world, the Red Hair Pirates would have only one path left: to starve to death.

Of course, looking at the current situation, unless Charlotte Linlin had water in her brain, it would be impossible for her to do such a thing. However, even knowing this, the fact that he dared to be the first to enter the mirror space shows the courage of Shanks.

"Hmph... a brat with a lot of guts! Young people these days are really something else."

Kaido said indifferently while carrying his club, then he also walked into the mirror world. The Beasts Pirates following behind him naturally followed their boss inside.

Finally, it was Charlotte Linlin taking her children into the space. A moment later, only one mirror remained in the entire palace.

The mirror space is a rather wondrous and strange world, with an eerie color palette like a Rubik's Cube, making it impossible to distinguish east, west, south, north, up, or down. Throughout the entire space, mirrors of all different sizes are embedded everywhere. Every mirror surface here corresponds to a mirror in the outside world.

"So this is the mirror world? It looks quite interesting."

Shanks looked left and right with an expression of great interest. This guy's personality is quite similar to Luffy's; whenever he sees something interesting, he always wants to study it seriously.

"Mamamama, if we can win this war, I can let you look at this space to your heart's content."

Charlotte Linlin said with a strange laugh, looking very enthusiastic. However, Shanks shrugged:

"Let's forget about that. If the battle is over, I wouldn't dare come to this space again. Now, let's get down to business!"

Without Uchiha Feiyu, the greatest enemy, if Shanks dared to enter this mirror world again, the final result would definitely be being trapped inside and starving to death. Charlotte Linlin is not a woman who is easy to talk to.

Hearing that it was time to get down to business, the many Great Pirates present instantly became serious. The combined bounty of these pirates was nearly 30 billion, which could be called the cream of the entire New World. An operation that could gather the leaders and backbone of three Four Emperors pirate crews together naturally could not be simple.

"Brulee, have you confirmed the location?" Katakuri, the masterpiece of the Charlotte Family and the brain of the entire family, looked at his sister for the first time. Charlotte Brulee nodded slightly:

"Yes, the mirror has already been taken over... although it wasn't placed in the innermost bedchamber of the palace, it has already been placed on the outskirts of the palace."

Although she possesses the ability of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, it does not mean that Charlotte Brulee can travel between any mirrors at will. If she really had that level of ability, then Charlotte Brulee's Mirror-Mirror Fruit would be too overpowered; it could be said that she could reach anywhere in the world that has a mirror.

Or rather, even if the Mirror-Mirror Fruit had such great potential, Charlotte Brulee has not developed it to that extent. She can only travel between mirrors she has marked, not just any mirror.

As for marking the mirrors, it is also very simple; Charlotte Brulee only needs to make contact with them, which feels quite a bit like the marking of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

During the battles of the past two days, these pirates had tried every possible way to have many marked mirrors intentionally plundered by those women. Only because of the time, until now, only five or six mirrors had been transported into the Sea King palace.

"Only the outskirts of the palace? Forget it, it's still much better than killing our way in openly..."

"The backbone of these women should be that Uchiha Feiyu. If everyone joins forces to take that guy down, the opponent will likely fall apart directly. This is also our only chance now."

Kaido said with a cold face. In the eyes of this strongest creature on land, sea, and air, the forces under Uchiha Feiyu now were quite similar to the original Rocks Pirates. The relationships between those women were not very good; they only stayed together because of Uchiha Feiyu's existence.

The original Rocks Pirates collapsed completely immediately after Rocks himself died. The forces under Uchiha Feiyu now are much the same.

The only problem is that the pirates of the original Rocks Pirates did not have much loyalty to Rocks himself, while these women under Uchiha Feiyu are each loyal to him, so the difficulty of the decapitation tactic is much greater.

After all, when Rocks was being beaten by Roger and Garp together, none of them—not Big Mom, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, or Kaido—helped. Otherwise, how could Rocks have been taken down so easily?

And Uchiha Feiyu... not to mention how terrifying his own strength is, once the war starts, the group of women under him will also come to support him immediately. So, the difficulty of the two is actually not on the same level at all.

But now, these pirates have no other way out. Either take a gamble, and there might be a chance to truly succeed in the decapitation, or be slowly worn down and starved to death.

Soon, Charlotte Brulee had found the corresponding mirror surface. Looking out from the mirror space, one could see the luxurious decorations outside; this was exactly the outer room of the giant Sea King palace.

"Alright, let's go out from here. This should be the closest place... I hope this battle plan can succeed!"

Charlotte Brulee said. Shanks shrugged:

"Ah, if we fail, we'll probably all die here together! Regardless, this is our last chance!"

"Let me take the lead. I'll be the first to go out!"

After saying that, Shanks walked toward the mirror surface. With a strange fluctuation, the Great Pirate felt the world spinning and appeared in a silent room.

Looking left and right, Shanks did not find anyone else. In fact, this was also normal. The back of the Sea King has an area of more than 20 kilometers, and palaces are built everywhere. Most of the time, there are actually only two or three hundred people in this palace, so of course, it is impossible to fill the entire palace.

"Luck is not bad, there is no one in the room... I can sneak a bit further toward the center of the palace."

Without calling for anyone else to come out, Shanks took down the mirror hanging on the wall and began to slowly sneak toward the very center of the palace complex; his strength could be considered the greatest among all the Pirates, and his physique was not as astonishing as Charlotte Linlin's or Kaido's, so he could be called the most suitable person for this kind of task.

The very center of the giant Sea King palace, the bedchamber of Uchiha Feiyu.

And just as Shanks had appeared in the room, Uchiha Feiyu, who was in the middle of group exercise, suddenly let out a soft grunt.

"What is it? Lord Feiyu? You seem a bit distracted."

A puzzled voice sounded from behind, and immediately after, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Jiang Liu's chest, hugging him tightly, and a soft, light, and warm sensation came from behind.

With an alluring flush on her face, Momousagi was the first to notice that something was wrong with Uchiha Feiyu and asked.

"Someone is here... everyone, get up quickly!"

Gently patting the heads of the two girls below, Nami and Robin raised their heads with dazed eyes, and it took them quite a while to react.

"Someone is here? What is going on... is someone invading?"

"That's right, and a big fish has come!"

Uchiha Feiyu sneered, his expression somewhat unpleasant; no matter when it is, a man's mood will not be good if he is interrupted while doing things.

Compared to an active skill like Observation Haki, an Immortal Cultivator's Divine Sense has both active and passive capabilities; even without actively using it, it can cover the entire giant Sea King, so he naturally discovered that suddenly appearing powerful life aura.

Therefore, this group of Pirates' so-called decapitation plan had almost no hope at all—though for this group of Pirates, being able to think of such a plan was already the limit of their struggle.

Uchiha Feiyu's Divine Sense fluctuated in the room, and immediately, Shirahoshi, who served as the bed, Sugar and Marianne, who were curled up at Uchiha Feiyu's feet, Madam Shari, who was acting as a chair under Uchiha Feiyu's backside, and the unconscious Hancock, Rebecca, and Tina...

All the women in the room quickly woke up, and Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand again, a faint blood-colored light permeating the entire room, allowing these women, who had originally been somewhat exhausted, to recover their stamina in an instant.
