"Oh? You can get this kind of message through Pandora's Box."
Right now, Makima has come back from the Marine Headquarters, and she is sitting in her office. Sengoku is in front of her.
After listening to Sengoku's words, Makima seems to be thinking.
"It's not impossible. Pandora's Box can connect to the voices of demons in hell. Maybe some of them don't get along with the demon lord who is going to come to Wano Country."
"What should we do? Are we going to Wano Country now?" Sengoku doesn't want to get too caught up in this topic, because he can't explain the Indra thing either. He hasn't told anyone besides Garp that he can talk to Indra.
So he asks directly what to do now. After thinking for a while, Makima says, "Don't rush for now. The last time we went to Jaltzburg was because we sent out a large military force too early, which attracted too much attention."

"Although sending out a large number of troops can be intimidating, it's also like alerting the enemy. We have to learn from that this time."
Sengoku thinks it makes sense. After all, Wano Country is different from Jaltzburg. Wano Country is in the most chaotic part of the New World.
Even sending out the same number of troops as they did in Jaltzburg might not be intimidating this time.
"Don't act rashly. Especially you. Before you reach the point where you can stop your powers, you should continue to train on Pandora Island." Makima says, "Let the Thunder God handle this for now. And I think the World Government will definitely send out Marines too."
For ordinary demons, The Black Order can take full responsibility. But for big things like demon lords, they have to report to the World Government.
"But..." Sengoku is a little worried. Can the Marines handle any more trouble right now?
He has been staying out of things for years, and he's not very familiar with what's happening in the Marines. He knows that the Marines have had a major recruitment drive, and he's heard that they recruited an Admiral, but he doesn't think this generation of Marines is stronger than his.
"There won't be any more large-scale deployments. Let's just do our own secret investigations for now. A little over a year should be enough time for us to find some clues." Makima sees the worry in Sengoku's heart and gives a light laugh.
"The most important thing for you right now is to increase your strength. That will be the biggest help in the upcoming war."
Sengoku sighs. He knows this is right, so he can only nod in agreement.
After Sengoku leaves, Makima tells the Five Elders about this. After learning that another demon lord might be appearing, the Five Elders are very surprised and concerned.
Their initial idea is simple. Since Wano Country isn't a member of the World Government, they can just destroy the country with cannon fire. Although the country is known for being easy to defend and hard to attack, if The Black Order and the Marines join forces, then it should be no problem to destroy that country.
As long as they're willing to pay the price...
However, compared to the appearance of a demon lord, any price is worth it.
However, Makima tells them that even if they destroy the country, there will still be another Wano Country if they can't find Tunfo. So the best way is to investigate slowly first. If things really can't be done any other way, then they can use cannon fire to destroy the country.
The Five Elders think about it and accept this suggestion. They secretly send out a Marine Admiral, An.
Makima has confirmed that An is not a demon, so the Five Elders are relieved about her.
That's why An was sent on this mission. She's very strong, even stronger than other Admirals. Most importantly, she's very flexible and has Observation Haki that allows her to see the future. She's perfect for this mission.
So when An learns about this mission, she's completely stunned, but she quickly calms down.
She didn't expect another demon lord to appear so soon. She has to report this information to her main body first.
She and Roger have a special connection. Although they can't communicate in real time, they can do simple communication if they put in some effort. She's sending a very concise message now.
'A demon lord may appear in Wano Country'
To deal with a demon lord, Roger is indispensable. He's the only one in the world who can fight a demon lord head-on for a while.
After sending the message, she changes into plain clothes and prepares to go to Wano Country.
"Wano Country is a closed country in the New World. It's not a member of the World Government. A long time ago, the World Government wanted to attack Wano Country, but they were defeated by a samurai."
Before she leaves, the higher-ups of the Marines are holding a meeting with her.
Actually, it's just four people: the Marine Fleet Admiral and three Marine Admirals.
Zephyr looks at the information in his hand and says, "Wano Country has a group of incredibly strong samurai. They are very skilled in Armament Haki. The highest leader of Wano Country, who commands the samurai, is called the 'General', and the local leaders are called 'Daimyo'."
"However, the most troublesome thing about Wano Country is how to get in. The only way to enter Wano Country is through the cliff waterfalls. It's very easy to be pushed back in that situation."
It's like one person guarding the pass, and ten thousand can't get through. But if you can fly, it's much easier.
Of course, An knows Moon Walk, one of the Marine Six Styles. Honestly, it's very easy for people at their level to learn this, but many people don't bother to learn it.
An can't understand their thinking. Do they think they don't need a technique that allows them to stay in the air?
An, who is dressed in plain clothes, says, "After I enter Wano Country, will I be working with The Black Order?"
This is what she cares about. She's heard that The Black Order is sending the 'Thunder God', who was one of Makima's first companions. He must know a lot of information about Makima.
"No, you'll be exploring separately. But you can talk to each other to exchange information. Just use a Den Den Mushi to contact each other."
Kong's words disappoint An a little, but it's not a big deal. That's what they say at the Marine Headquarters, but once she gets to Wano Country, can't she do whatever she wants?
But she definitely can't affect the mission. Even if she wants to investigate Makima, she can't affect the mission to stop the demon lord from coming.
"Okay, I'll take these things first and read them on the way."
An puts away the documents containing information about Wano Country. There are very few documents, because Wano Country is a closed country, and it has always been mysterious.
"If you find anything, don't be reckless. Notify the headquarters directly, and we'll send troops to support you."
