OPI Chapter 199: The Battle Plan Unfolds
🕑 Added 2024-07-17 18:31:59 +0000 UTCIn the command room of the Armed Forces.
Kong, Raymond, Sengoku, Zephyr and Tsuru were gathered together. The five of them formed the command center responsible for the war against the other world.
“Should we stop the artillery fire and let the Giant Troop have a go?” Raymond suggested.
Zephyr agreed. “Our artillery fire can only prevent the opponent’s supergiants from dispersing far from the dimensional gate, but it cannot force them back. I think we can let the giant troops take action.”
"But do you think two thousand giants can take on those sixty-meter giants?" Tsuru was skeptical due to the overwhelming number of enemies.
At that moment Sengoku intervened. "And there is a problem that must be considered, that is, if we break into the other side's world, what if we encounter that kind of 'nuclear weapon' bombing again?"
"This is indeed a big problem." Kong admitted as he watched the live broadcast of the battlefield, his brows furrowed. At this moment, the Den-Den Mushi on the conference table rang.
Everyone narrowed their eyes because they knew that this was the direct line to the Five Elders.
"Hello, it's me." Kong replied, taking the microphone. As he listened to V. Nusjuro's words from the other end of the line, his expression visibly relaxed. "I see, this news is very timely!"
After ending the call, Kong smiled happily. "The problem just now has been solved."
“Oh?” Sengoku raised an eyebrow.
Kong then shared what he had been told.
"The Five Elders informed me that World No. 03 does not have nuclear weapons, but rather an ability originating from the wielder of the Colossal Titan."
"When that wielder transforms into a Titan, it will cause a steam explosion comparable to nuclear weapons, but its transformation ability can only be used once a day."
The four of them nodded, finally understanding.
"So if they can only use that skill once a day, it's more manageable." Tsuru muttered thoughtfully.
"Also..." Kong continued. "The Five Elders said that World No. 03 has no means to harm Logia-type Devil Fruit users, including steam explosions, except for Crocodile."
"Then, let Garp, Whitebeard, Bullet, Crocodile and others lead the Giant troops, and also cooperate with artillery support from the rear."
"Order Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, and Aramaki to board a flying warship and enter the enemy world from the air. Let's see if they can cut off the arrival of more Titans and give Garp and the others a chance to fight back."
Sengoku pondered as he outlined his plan.
"If the opponent uses the steam explosion, let Kaido and Big Mom lead all the flying warships to attack the opponent's rear and see if they can catch the so-called bearer or find the source of this group of super Titans!"
At this time, Zephyr raised a question. "Are we not underestimating the enemy's ability to foresee the future?"
"Predict the future?" Kong let out a cold laugh, looking disdainfully at the army of Titans that continued to emerge from the Dimensional Gate.
"It's pointless. Since they have no means to confront Logia-type ability users, the outcome of this war is already decided. It's just a matter of time."
Then he added: "Also, the Five Elders have just informed me that they have obtained crucial information regarding World No. 03, and someone will soon bring it to us."
Sengoku and Zephyr were stunned, while Tsuru asked directly: "Where did the information come from? Did the Other Worlds Strategic Committee obtain it? I haven't received any report."
As Chief of Staff, Tsuru should have received this kind of important information immediately, but Kong shook his head, rejecting her assumption.
"No, the Five Elders didn't say where the information came from. They must have used some method, or perhaps it came from Cipher Pol."
About ten minutes later, a document was delivered to the command room. The five of them stopped talking and quickly scanned the contents.
Very soon they learned the general situation of World No. 03 and also the technological level of the enemy.
The most important thing was that they learned what the 'Nine Titans' were, what the 'Rumbling' was, who the Eldians were, who the Ackermans were, and received detailed information about Paradis Isle.
Imu had fully utilized her ability to 'know the plot' as a transmigrant, providing the World Government with an insurmountable advantage with a massive spoiler.
All necessary information was provided directly by Imu, eliminating any concerns Kong, Sengoku, Tsuru, and the others might have had.
"The power of the Titans... is it really passed on by devouring their living predecessors?" Zephyr said with a disgusted expression after reading it.
Raymond also commented with a forced smile: "And those Pure Titans, Wall Titans? They are nothing more than walking corpses. If the giants of Elbaf knew about this, they would be very angry."
Tsuru commented: "However, the special abilities of these Nine Titans are quite interesting."
"Now I understand. That's how they get that annoying 'predicting the future' ability." Sengoku commented.
...
On the battlefield of the Red Earth Continent, the heavy artillery had stopped firing.
[Crack! Boom!]
The extreme force of the vibration transformed into a diffuse white light. Wherever it passed, the air shattered into layers as if it were glass.
In an instant, hundreds of armored giants were turned into pieces of meat, and the turbulent air carried swirling steam all over the place.
Edward Newgate, advancing at the front, with the strength of a man and his naginata, pushed the tide of 'Rumbling' back through the gigantic Dimensional Gate.
Even Garp, who was not far away throwing punches, each of which could destroy several Wall Titans at once, was no match for Newgate at this moment.
However, the biggest advantage of Rumbling is its endless numbers.
More and more Wall Titans entered the dimensional gate, spreading rapidly.
It was like a red stream of steam meeting Whitebeard and Garp's giant rocks, forcing them to deviate and expand the battle line at a visible speed.
From the left side of the medium-sized Dimensional Gate, a roar filled with anger echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Let these brainless zombies see what a giant is and what the power of a giant is!!"
King Farbauti stood at the front of the army of giant warriors. As soon as he finished shouting, he launched himself like a black lightning bolt towards the towering tide of the Rumbling.
“Kill!!!”
Immediately, the more than two thousand giant warriors shouted as they launched into a brave charge.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
In the blink of an eye, the armies of giants from two different worlds collided fiercely.
...
At the same time, on the right side of the dimensional gate, masses of violet-blue energy continuously erupted, devouring one Wall Titan after another.
From time to time, the Kabaneri would appear moving at high speed, using what appeared to be black elastic threads as a means to nimbly jump between the Wall Titans, and then use their black blades to decapitate them.
Meanwhile a flying warship was heading towards the dimensional gate.
A few minutes later, the flying warship carrying Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, and Aramaki passed quickly over the Wall Titans' heads.
The floating steam made the surroundings seem enveloped in a white mist.
“Wow!”
The next second after the flying warship passed through the dimensional gate, Borsalino subconsciously exclaimed.
Below, the yellow land was covered by an endless stream of Wall Titans advancing unstoppably.
There were too many of them, their numbers overwhelming. Every step they took made the earth tremble, raising dust and covering the sky with white vapor.
Even Sakazuki, at that moment, couldn't help but feel moved.
It was a very shocking scene!
At this moment, the World Government finally understood what 'Rumbling' really was.
[Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!]
A dense whistling sound pierced the air, attracting the attention of the four people on the flying warship.
"I see, the enemy knew we were coming and shot at us in advance. In this situation, it's not that easy to dodge~"
Borsalino put his right palm on his forehead and looked at the tens of thousands of howitzer shells with interest.
"Then I'll go first."
Without waiting for a response, Borsalino turned into a golden flash, disappearing instantly.
A second later, it reappeared a thousand meters high in the sky, transforming into a huge four-pointed star of brilliant golden light.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
[Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!]
Dense golden rays covered the sky, facing the tide of projectiles.
Countless fireballs exploded in the sky.
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
After the rays of light cleared all the incoming shells, they fell upon the enemy's artillery positions, creating gigantic fireballs.
This scene left Marshal Calvi, General Theo Magath, and other generals from various countries completely stunned. Though for some reason, there was no one from the Eldian Empire in this command room.
...
"That's weird, where's the steam explosion?" Sakazuki asked, looking away from Borsalino and looking around with a puzzled expression.
Not only him, the higher-ups of the World Government who were watching the live broadcast also had the same doubt.
