Someone recognized Shiryu of the Rain and immediately shouted out the title he had earned over the past few days.

A strong whooshing sound filled her ears. Charlotte Snag frowned, feeling the oncoming wind pressure, and thought to herself:

"This is a master!"

Charlotte Snag didn't dare to delay and quickly drew her giant katana, the blade flashing in a crescent-shaped arc.

"boom!"

Shiryu of the Rain slashed downwards, using the momentum of the fall to increase the force more than usual, instantly causing the giant katana to press down slightly.

To outsiders, Shiryu of the Rain seemed to have the upper hand!

Upon seeing this, the group of pirates gasped in shock.

"hiss!"

"How can this be!"

"The Butcher in the Rainy Night actually overpowered the Four Generals?"

"Who exactly is this navy officer? Why have I never heard of him before?"

Not to mention the unsuspecting bystanders who were astonished, even Charlotte Snag, who was directly involved, was secretly alarmed as she felt the immense force transmitted through the blade.

Taking a step back to dissipate the force on her arm, Charlotte Snag was somewhat enraged. With a flick of her wrist and a twist of her blade, she aimed the tip of her knife directly at Shiryu of the Rain's eyes, like a street thug in a fight.

Charlotte family members grew up roaming the streets and alleys, fighting with thugs and hooligans. Their moves were not very sophisticated; they were all about attacking the vulnerable parts of the human body.

In contrast, Shiryu of the Rain, though like Yang Ming, practiced naval swordsmanship. Lacking flashy techniques and relying solely on simple vertical and horizontal slashes, his seemingly ordinary swordplay was insidious and vicious, akin to a rattlesnake, due to his years of abusing prisoners in the deep-sea prison. A single careless move could result in severed meridians.

Both were masters of Armament Haki, their entire bodies covered in a sticky, oil-like Armament Haki, which sparked dazzling sparks as their blades clashed.

Seeing that she couldn't break through Shiryu of the Rain's blockade anytime soon, Charlotte Snag, feeling secretly anxious, quickly shouted to her underlings hiding in the crowd:

"Let's go together!"

Upon hearing this, the pirates drew their weapons, ready to wreak havoc and create chaos among the crowd.

These pirates thought they were well disguised, but Bellemere and Buggy the Clown had already seen through their disguise. Rob Lucci and other black-clad agents had already secretly locked onto the pirates in the crowd after being alerted by them.

Just as the group of pirates were about to make their move, they felt a sharp pain in their chest.

Turning around, I saw a black-clad agent coldly withdraw his finger, hot blood still clinging to his fingertip.

Using the Naval Six Styles finger gun, they easily took down a pirate; this was the strength of these former CP9 agents.

Such scenes kept happening among the crowds.

Often, when a pirate falls, before those around him even realize what has happened, the black-clad agent disappears into the open space gate on the ground, concealing his merit and fame, and vanishes once more.

Xiu Zuo, one of the subordinates assigned to Yang Ming by Chief Instructor Zefa, stood on the execution platform, glanced down at the clock, and said in a deep voice:

"At noon, be executed at the Meridian Gate!"

With those words, Xiu Zuo suddenly raised his black axe, its blade gleaming with a cold light, and slashed fiercely at Drought Jack's neck.

"No!"

Charlotte Snag's pupils suddenly contracted, shrinking to the size of needles.

Despite being severely wounded by Shiryu of the Rain, with knife wounds of varying depths all over his body, he rushed towards the execution platform, hoping to knock it down at the last moment.

Unfortunately, Shuzo's axe was swift, and he beheaded Jack the Drought before Charlotte Snag arrived!

Head severed, blood flowing!

A large amount of blood gushed out from the broken neck.

In that instant, the image Den Den Mushi miraculously reopened its eyes, recording this historic moment.

Immediately afterward, before anyone could react, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. Enel, sitting beside Jack the Drought, silently took his body, head and all.

No one knows why Enel, as a member of the Dark Night Pirates, took away Jack the Drought's body.

Could this be an attempt to humiliate Kaido of the Beasts?

While everyone was puzzled, they didn't take the matter to heart.

After all, the person is dead, so there's no point in dwelling on it anymore.

Could it be that Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, can resurrect Jack the Drought?

Just kidding!

Yang Ming rubbed his temples, his Rinnegan having unknowingly reverted to its Mangekyou Sharingan form.

Multitasking puts immense mental pressure on him, and he will likely need a period of rest and recuperation.

Descending from the sky onto the execution platform, Yang Ming pointed his blade at Charlotte Snag and said coldly:

"Do you have any last words?"

Chapter 165 Low IQ is contagious, stay away from me

The midday sun of summer bathed Marineford. Passing through warships with flags billowing like sails, and through towering walls, one could see a majestic fortress standing guard by numerous naval soldiers. The high gray walls and rows of steel cannons all showcased the strength of the naval headquarters.

Inside the office at Naval Headquarters, which symbolizes the supreme command, the navy's most elite combat forces are gathered.

Marshal of the Warring States Period.

Cap.

Lieutenant General Tsuru.

Chief Instructor Zefa.

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu.

Admiral Borsalino.

Kuzan, the general of Aokiji.

And several vice admirals.

Everyone stared intently at the live broadcast transmitted by the video Den Den Mushi. When Yang Ming made that public speech, Marshal Sengoku vaguely felt that things seemed to be a little different from what he had expected.

Just as Enel of the Dark Night Pirates was about to storm the execution ground, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's uneasy premonition seemed to be coming true.

Yang Mingfei engaged Enel in a fierce battle, the aftershocks of which created intense light pollution, temporarily interrupting the live broadcast of the Den Den Mushi. Fleet Admiral Sengoku lowered his head, sipped his tea to calm himself, and then inquired of those around him:

What are your thoughts on how things are developing?

Karp remained as carefree as ever, devouring donuts and gulping down green tea.

Ultimately, Lieutenant General Tsuru is more reliable. After a moment's thought, he said:

"The Dark Night Pirates are actually planning to rescue Jack the Drought. Perhaps the relationship between Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, and Kaido of the Beasts is beyond our imagination and is extraordinary."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked up and saw Admiral Borsalino, who was sitting with his legs crossed, engrossed in reading the newspaper. He couldn't help but cough softly.

"Kizaru, you've been in charge of the Navy's Special Science Unit for a long time. Have you ever asked Vegapunk whether Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, inherited the bloodline factor of Kaido of the Beasts?"

Kaido of the Beasts was once an experimental subject of a research institution under the World Government, leaving behind numerous samples such as hair, nails, and blood.

Over the years, the World Government has never stopped its research on Kaido's body.

Among them, Vegapunk's research results are the most significant. He has now extracted the concept of bloodline factors and is working hard to develop the ability to inject inanimate objects into Devil Fruits. He has successfully injected the Elephant-Elephant Fruit into a sword, which can transform the sword into an elephant-like beast form, or a half-beast form with the front half of the sword and the back half of the elephant's body.

This weapon was named Van Gufried.

Unfortunately, injecting Devil Fruit abilities into inanimate objects cannot give them life. Even if they can transform into the beast form of an elephant, the lack of necessary soul matter in their bodies results in a lifeless and dull appearance, wasting a lot of resources and manpower. This research project has now been suspended.

Because Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, initially appeared covered in dragon scales, resembling Kaido's monstrous form, the World Government has long suspected that someone, like Vegapunk, might be secretly conducting research on bloodline factors and have already achieved more advanced and mature results.

Admiral Borsalino put down the newspaper and placed it on the table.

“Vegapunk once told me that unless someone replicates the Fish-Fish Fruit Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon form, it would be difficult to achieve the same level of performance as Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, simply by inheriting Kaido’s bloodline.”

"Vegapunk said he is now focusing his research on this area and may have results in the near future."

The Warring States Marshal was not satisfied with this result.

Unfortunately, Vegapunk held a very high degree of authority in the field of science, and even the Warring States Marshal had no choice but to trust his judgment.

At that moment, the video Den Den Mushi resumed its live broadcast.

Jack the Drought was executed, suffering the fate of being beheaded.

The next instant, despite being severely injured by Yang Ming's attack, Enel managed to carry Jack the Drought's body away from the scene, causing everyone to frown.

Those present were among the most elite people in the world, and naturally understood that this sea contained all sorts of amazing Devil Fruits, many of which utilized corpses. Suddenly, a shocking thought surfaced in their minds:

"Could it be that he wants to..."

Before anyone could react, they saw Yang Ming and Shiryu of the Rain sandwich Charlotte Snag between them like dumplings, leaving the burly man in a difficult position.

Charlotte Snag was a burly man, over three meters tall, with a broad and stout build. She had a long, pointed nose and a head of black hair that was casually tied up on top of her head, pierced through with a wooden hairpin to form a strange bun, one on top and one on the bottom, resembling a candied hawthorn skewer.

He wore soft armor underneath a wool coat, a red and white striped scarf around his neck, and armor similar to that of a samurai on his arms, the fish-scale-like armor shimmering with a metallic sheen.

At this moment, this renowned one of the Four Generals of the Sea was constantly wielding his giant samurai sword, struggling to resist the combined attack of Yang Ming and Shiryu of the Rain.

With Shiryu of the Rain alone possessing near-Admiral-level combat power, coupled with Yang Ming's numerous methods, Charlotte Snack was wary of Yang Ming's ability to ignore Armament Haki defenses. She was forced to fight on the defensive, being relentlessly beaten by the two of them, and looked quite disheveled.

The crowd at the Water City event erupted in uproar.

They never expected that the so-called Four Generals were actually undeserving of their titles, and their actual strength was only so-so.

Hearing the whispers and pointing around her, Charlotte Snag felt both ashamed and angry, yet helpless. Her movements became somewhat flustered, and she unconsciously revealed a weakness. Yang Ming seized this fleeting opportunity, and his Zanpakuto, carrying flames and lightning, viciously slashed down along the exposed line on Charlotte Snag's left shoulder.

Charlotte Snag's pupils suddenly contracted, shrinking to the size of needles.

Armament Haki, invisible to the naked eye, continuously coiled around his left shoulder in an attempt to enhance his resistance. However, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were simply unreasonable, and with the unstoppable sharpness of the Zanpakuto, it severed his left arm at the shoulder!

"Tear!"

As easily as a hot knife slicing through butter, a flash of sharp light accompanied the spurt of hot blood, leaving a spray of scalding blood on the ground.

"what!!!"

A painful scream rang out, and Charlotte Snag clutched her severed arm with her right hand, her face turning deathly pale.

"It's this move again!"

He looked in Yang Ming's direction with shock and anger. Whether it was last time or this time, he had no idea what had happened and had fallen into a disadvantageous position in such a confused state.
