It's really scary!
Previously, Ace had challenged the Whitebeard Pirates to a duel, intending to take Whitebeard's head, thinking he had already witnessed Whitebeard's power.
But now it seems that what he saw back then was only the tip of the iceberg of the white-bearded old man!
Staring intently ahead, Ace was utterly horrified.
Large swathes of buildings collapsed with a deafening roar; it was a massive landslide, with countless houses being obliterated and dissipating into the air as they collapsed.
The intense shockwaves reverberated throughout every inch of the battlefield. Yang Ming was like a circus performer walking a tightrope all by himself; a single misstep would mean certain death.
Even in the face of such a terrible situation, Yang Ming's hand remained steady, and the blade in his hand remained sharp. The blade's light rose against the odds, and even the shockwave could not completely resist his strikes.
The force of vibration and the powerful strike, two equally destructive forces, are constantly being worn down and dissipated, only to collide again, exhibiting a delicate balance in a cyclical manner.
Ace could no longer see Yang Ming and Whitebeard; the two had been completely engulfed by endless shadows of swords and fists. All that could be heard was the incessant sonic boom that pierced eardrums.
"Tear!"
A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out.
The next moment, Ace and the others were horrified to discover that the Infinite City created by Yang Ming had reached a critical point in the process of the two fighting each other. Its spatial healing ability could not keep up with their destructive power, and terrifying spatial rifts appeared. The silhouette of the Moby Dick could be vaguely seen outside through the rifts.
But Yang Ming was engrossed in a fierce battle with Edward Newgate and couldn't care less about anything else.
Finally, as the spatial rift continued to widen, the entire Infinite City seemed to emit mournful cries before being forcibly torn apart.
"call!"
The blue sky and white clouds reappeared before their eyes, and the group was once again on the deck of the Moby Dick.
Yang Ming and Edward Newgate with the white beard stood on either side, both of them bearing injuries of varying degrees.
"Boy, you're pretty good!"
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, grinned, his hands, hidden behind his back, trembled slightly, and the veins on the back of his hands stood out clearly.
Clearly, he has aged after all; such an intense battle at his peak has taken a toll on him.
"Whitebeard, you're not bad either."
After Yang Ming finished speaking, he quickly shut his mouth and forcibly swallowed the blood that was about to come out of his mouth.
He appeared to have only minor injuries, but those in the know understood that his internal organs had been affected by the shockwave, and several of his bones were broken. However, in order to maintain a facade of strength, he had no choice but to endure it.
It must be said that both of them are extremely concerned about their image, so they are evenly matched.
After catching his breath, and with the support of various passive skills, Yang Ming's raging injuries finally subsided. He looked up at Ace, a meaningful smile on his face, and said with a hidden meaning:
"Your fate is in my hands; my fate will be decided by the wind and rain!"
"Goodbye!"
After saying that, Yang Ming pushed off with both legs, as if stepping on an invisible ladder, and floated away gracefully, his posture calm and relaxed, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
As soon as Yang Ming's figure completely disappeared on the horizon, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, shuddered violently and then plopped down on the deck. Marco and the others quickly gathered around him, asking with concern:
"Dad, are you hurt?"
As a doctor, Marco immediately inserted an IV drip into the white-bearded old man's body.
This time, Edward Newgate, with his white beard, didn't shoo Marco away as usual. Instead, he waved his hand weakly and said:
"It seems I really am getting old."
"The world in the future will ultimately belong to you young people."
Chapter 266 The Results of Artificial Devil Fruits
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from the Kamen Rider series. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"
A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with three types of prizes: memory abilities, Kamen Rider abilities, and treasures.
Memory Abilities: Fear, Fangs, Hurricane, Scorching Heat, Luna...
Kamen Rider abilities: Time stop, wish fulfillment, ignoring physical defenses...
Treasures: Time Train, Time Demon Machine...
[Hurricane]: This can generate a hurricane.
Back on the steel warship, Yang Ming looked back at the system notifications he had previously missed, his face expressionless.
An invisible chasm had formed between him and Ace; some things are gone forever.
After all, he was a Marine Admiral, while Ace was a rising supernova pirate.
The vast difference in their identities makes it impossible for them to return to their former state.
Fortunately, Yang Ming knew Ace's character very well. After this incident, Edward Newgate would have no reason to stop Ace. As long as Ace went to Impel Down, he could activate a trump card that had been hidden for many years.
Douglas Bullet, a former member of the Roger Pirates, known as the Devil's Heir!
Yang Ming raised his right hand, feeling the sea breeze gently brushing through his fingers, as if experiencing the arrival of a new world.
The old world order will eventually be replaced by the new world, which also means that the strong, systems and nations of the old world will disappear into the long river of history. This process will definitely not be smooth sailing, and it will be filled with killing and bloodshed. Only the powerful will be able to have the last laugh.
Yang Ming was confident that, with his planning and strategizing, he would be the one who had the last laugh!
When the steel warship returned to Marineford, the naval headquarters, after weathering wind and rain, the soldiers who were on duty at the harbor looked at the warship with reverence.
In recent days, the news published by Guangming Daily has spread all over the world.
The Historic Meeting Between Admiral Shura and Whitebeard!
Although it is unknown what Yang Ming discussed with the famous Whitebeard, this news alone is enough to attract the attention of the whole world.
You know, that man is hailed as the strongest man in the world!
When Yang Ming stepped off the steel warship, he saw soldiers lined up in neat columns, each soldier standing tall and proud, displaying a unique spirit.
Facing the gazes of the soldiers, Yang Ming walked past them with a natural expression. Behind him was a row of capable subordinates, including Vice Admirals from the Navy Headquarters such as Fujitora Issho, Smoker, and Momousagi Gion, as well as a large number of newly promoted Rear Admirals and Commodores. The power known as the Governor-General's Army had completely risen in the Navy Headquarters.
Somewhere in the Naval Headquarters building, Oni-take Vergo drew the curtains with a gloomy expression.
"Yang! Ming!"
He practically spat out those two words through gritted teeth, and then slumped back into his chair, looking utterly dejected.
Since the death of his young master Doflamingo, Vergo has harbored the deepest hatred for two people in the world: Lee Sin, the master of the night, and Yang Ming.
He originally thought Yang Ming was just a rising star who he could suppress in secret. Over the years, he had been making constant moves behind the scenes, but he had failed to stifle Yang Ming's growth. Instead, he watched helplessly as a peerless genius rose step by step, and now he had even personally killed Kaido of the Beasts, becoming someone he absolutely could not provoke.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
He dug his fingertips deep into his flesh, drawing blood, but Vergo was oblivious, feeling only that he was living a life worse than death.
Sometimes, killing is not the most satisfying way to deal with the enemy.
To make the enemy live in fear and anxiety for the rest of their life, trembling in your shadow, is a far more ruthless tactic and method.
Yang Ming had long known that Vergo was a spy planted within the Navy by Doflamingo, but he did not expose him. Instead, he allowed Vergo to be clever and secretly plot against him, gradually destroying his plans and plunging him into despair.
Vergo is a talented person, and Yang Ming appreciates such talent.
Unfortunately, Vergo was also a very loyal person, and even now, in his desperate situation, he still showed no intention of turning to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was naturally unaware of what happened in Vergo's office, but he didn't care much about it.
After arriving at his own office at the Navy Headquarters, Yang Ming began processing the mountain of official documents.
To be honest, this was the first time he had worked in his own office since becoming a Navy Admiral; previously, he had always had people teleport him over via a teleportation point.
Yang Ming handles his affairs diligently and is already considered a model of diligence. In contrast, Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji travels around the world every day and does nothing of his job. And former Admiral Borsalino of Kizaru spends his time drinking tea, reading newspapers, and slacking off at work, making him a model of a wage thief in the workplace. We are truly ashamed of ourselves.
Yang Ming's diligence in his work was certainly not just for work.
For example, the document in front of us was submitted by a naval base stationed near the Kingdom of Alabasta. It stated that the Kingdom of Alabasta has experienced abnormal climate changes in recent years, and that these changes were discovered to be the work of Baroque Works, with Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, suspected to be behind them.
If it were Admiral Sakazuki Akainu, he would have launched a swift and decisive attack to uproot Baroque Works if he had even the slightest suspicion.
Yang Ming had promised Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, that the revolutionary army could confidently develop its base in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Crocodile's actions exacerbated the wealth gap in the Kingdom of Alabasta and intensified regional and class conflicts within the country. These factors would become fertile ground for the development of the revolutionary army's base, thus enabling them to rally ordinary people to join the ranks of the revolutionary army.
Therefore, Yang Ming naturally ignored this intelligence and threw it in the trash.
That being said, Yang Ming was not an accomplice to evil. He contacted the naval base near the Kingdom of Alabasta via Den Den Mushi. The leadership of the base had long been replaced by the governor's men, who were ordered to take care of the local poor people. If needed, they could be sent to Water Seven, where they would be provided with food, lodging, and job opportunities.
Among the vast sea of documents, there was one more thing that Yang Ming should pay attention to.
Warden Domino requested a transfer to Yang Ming's command.
After the warden Shiryu of the Rain was poached by Yang Ming, the deputy warden Domino took the opportunity to be promoted and given a raise to become the warden.
But now it seems that this young and beautiful warden, Domino, is not willing to spend her whole life in the dark and sunless deep-sea prison.
Yang Ming still had a deep impression of the warden, Domino; she had a hot figure and a pure face, and was a kind of abstinent beauty.
Yang Ming's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table as he picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed Domino's number.
"Domino, if you want to transfer to my team, I'll need you to do some things for me..."
Months passed.
The naval junior officers and soldiers have tight schedules, either training or fighting bandits, and are almost always busy.
The higher the rank, especially to the rank of Admiral at the Navy Headquarters, the more leisurely the work becomes. There are no special matters to attend to, and Admirals generally do not need to take action.
Thanks to the peaceful days, Yang Ming had a rare moment of leisure. Apart from reviewing official documents in the office, he spent his days strolling around the island with Momousagi Gion, Tina, and the other girls. Occasionally, Momousagi Gion would drag him into the woods to steal chickens. He was living a very comfortable life.
That day, Yang Ming received a message from Caesar Clown, saying that there had been further progress in the research on artificial Devil Fruits and the Hulk serum, and that the latest results had been presented, requiring him to go to Wano Country.
The artificial Devil Fruits were related to Yang Ming's plan to build an invincible fleet, and Yang Ming was also eager to know what research results Caesar Clown had made on the Hulk serum, so he readily agreed.
Yang Ming had already established a teleportation anchor point in the Ringo region of Wano Country, and he was able to teleport there in the blink of an eye.
For the past few centuries, the Suzugo region of Wano Country has been a cemetery area, full of desolate wilderness and mass graves. Coupled with its sparse population, it has a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
After passing through a dense forest, a flat plain appeared ahead, where a magnificent research institute stood. Colonel Xiu En and a group of soldiers were patrolling the area to prevent anyone from accidentally wandering into the place.
Colonel Xiu En had already known of Yang Ming's arrival and quickly led the way.
The research institute covers an area of over 100 acres and is divided into several areas, namely the reagent storage and preparation area, the specimen preparation area, the gene amplification area, the amplification product analysis area, and the experimental sample testing area.
