Watching Luffy's speed increase dramatically, Shuzo thought to himself:

"No wonder he's the general's brother!"

Shuzo started to get serious and engaged in a fierce battle with Luffy.

Both were masters of physical combat, possessing no fancy skills, only simple and brutal punches.

His fists thundered, their shadows stretching far and wide, their winds howling through the sky.

Fists rained down on each other like a shower of banana leaves. Shuzo, covered in Armament Haki, wasn't seriously injured. Luffy, with his rubber body, could greatly reduce the impact of punches, making him seem like an unkillable cockroach.

Revolutionary Army vs. Kingdom Guard.

Marine branch base soldiers vs. the Straw Hat Pirates.

The two battlefields were engaged in fierce fighting, yet they did not interfere with each other, showing a remarkable tacit understanding.

Just as the Kingdom of Alabasta was in complete chaos, an unprecedented air force was hurtling in from the skies above the Red Line.

Zoan-type Devil Fruits are the best type of Devil Fruits for training an army. They are not as rare and precious as Logia-type Devil Fruits, nor do they have the strange and unpredictable abilities of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits. Zoan-type Devil Fruits can enhance the physical attributes of the user and reliably grant soldiers corresponding abilities. They can be considered a valuable asset for various forces to cultivate their foundation.

Among the many Zoan-type Devil Fruits, the Flying-type Devil Fruits are quite rare.

This doesn't mean that Flying-type Devil Fruits are very precious, but rather that once a Flying-type Devil Fruit appears, it will be secretly purchased by the World Government. Whether through the CP organization's cunning acquisition or through high-priced bidding at auctions, the World Government will do everything in its power to collect Flying-type Devil Fruits worldwide in order to secretly train an air force.

No one in this world is a fool.

The air force is of great strategic significance, especially on the Red Line, which encircles the planet. Traveling by land is often inconvenient, but with an air force, it is possible to travel to any country in the world via the Red Line.

Currently, this air force, composed entirely of users of Flying-type Devil Fruits, has only one hundred members, but each one is an elite among elites. They are not only proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy, but also have mastered Observation Haki and Armament Haki. They would be strong anywhere.

An elderly man in a suit and tie is riding on the broad back of an Andean condor, looking up at the distance.

A steel warship happened to be sailing in the waters ahead, seemingly having known they would pass through and waiting there for a long time.

If that were all, it could be explained as a coincidence.

But when a young admiral dressed in naval uniform descended from the sky, everything seemed to become unpredictable.

Jaigolusia Satan Saint raised an eyebrow, his right hand, covered in knife wounds, resting silently on the hilt of his sword, while simultaneously raising his left hand to signal the air force behind him to stop for the moment.

"Shura, how did you know I would pass by here?"

Seeing the worry etched on the elderly man's face, Yang Ming's lips curled into a slight smile as he said:

"Of course, it was Spandam, the head of your World Government's CP9 organization, who told me."

Back in Water 9, when CP9 Commander Spandam was about to kill Uncle Tom, Yang Ming descended from the Sky Island aboard a three-masted sailboat. He not only stopped Spandam's evil deeds but also implanted something into him with his Mangekyou Sharingan, making him work for him.

Over the years, CP9 commander Spandam has provided Yang Ming with a lot of intelligence, and now he has caught a big fish for him.

"Spandam?"

"I remember, he's a descendant of the Spencer family, isn't he? He really is an ungrateful dog!"

A murderous intent flashed deep in Jaigollucia Satan’s eyes. If he could safely return to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, not only would Spandam die, but the entire Spandam family would probably be uprooted, and no one in the family, young or old, would be spared.

Immediately, he looked up at Yang Ming and said in a deep voice:

"Shura, you've gone to such lengths to do this, are you perhaps trying to seek justice for Garp and Zephyr?"

The relationship between Garp, Zephyr and Yang Ming was no secret at all. Jaigollucia Satan Saint naturally assumed that Yang Ming was causing trouble for him because of their past imprisonment.

Yang Ming spread his arms and gave a cold smile:

"We named this hell, forged from flesh and blood, the world."

"And all of this is thanks to the Celestial Dragons."

Chapter 290 Sitting Alone Under the Frosty Sky! Hyōrinmaru

The wind howled wildly across the sea, whipping up dust that rose high into the air. The group of flying-type Devil Fruit users swayed violently, nearly falling over, barely managing to keep their balance amidst the howling wind.

Even so, they could still feel the cold, hard wind stinging their faces, and they could barely open their eyes.

And this was merely a gust of wind that the man casually released!

The strong wind made the young general's cloak flutter, his bangs swaying in the wind, and a windmill-shaped pattern slowly rotating in his scarlet eyes. The slight upturn at the corner of his mouth seemed to declare that he was confident and had no worries about their escape from this place.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Bleach. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with only one type of prize: Zanpakuto, all kinds of Zanpakuto.

Zanpakuto: Zangetsu, Benihime, Ryujin Jakka, Kyoka Suigetsu...

【Hyōrinmaru】: The strongest Zanpakutō of the ice and snow type. It has a wide attack range, can freeze water in the air to form an ice dragon, and can even control the weather, adding ice and snow damage.

Jaigolusia Satan stood atop the back of a Flying-type Devil Fruit user, his dark eyes, seemingly capable of seeing through people's hearts, fixed on Yang Ming, and coldly said:

"It seems, Shura, you intend to betray the World Government and the Navy."

Immediately, he looked down at the slowly coming to a stop on the steel warship and said to Tina and the others:

"In the name of the Five Elders, I hereby declare that, effective from this moment on, Yang Ming's rank and position as Admiral of the Navy Headquarters are hereby revoked. As the backbone of the Navy, you must all join me in taking down this man to atone for your sins!"

As a member of the Celestial Dragons and having held a high position for a long time, Jaigolusia Satan had long developed the habit of ordering others around.

Perhaps in his view, as long as he uses his status as one of the Five Elders to exert pressure, he can command this army.

Unfortunately, most people in this world don't understand one thing: power is not something that is born or bestowed by God, but rather it is made up of people below.

If those below simply do not obey orders, then those above, no matter how high their position or how noble their status, will lose all power.

A second passed.

Five seconds passed.

Ten seconds passed.

After receiving no response from Tina and the others for a long time, and only receiving eye rolls from them, Jaigollucia Satan Saint seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and his face gradually darkened.

"It seems you are all traitors to the Navy!"

"No!"

Tina, one of Yang Ming's earliest followers, showed the old man no kindness whatsoever, coldly retorting:

"You Five Elders are the traitors to the Navy!"

Jaigolusia Satan Saint: "???"

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem!

Tina didn't stop, but continued to press her advantage, saying:

"Garp and Zephyr were both generals who made significant contributions to upholding world justice. Cyborg, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, devoted himself to the cause of justice until his death. Even the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers at the Navy G1 base were all iron-blooded men. But what was the result of their sacrifices?"

"At Navy G1 Base, everyone from top to bottom has been reduced to slavery. Commander-in-Chief of the entire Cyborg Army was even secretly executed by you. Garp and Zephyr were just trying to seek justice for Commander-in-Chief of the entire Cyborg Army, but they were imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison by you."

"You think you can fool everyone, but heaven is watching. There's no such thing as fire that can be hidden forever. We will never risk our lives for you corrupt and backward Celestial Dragons, only to end up being sold out and still having to pay the seller for the money!"

These events, one by one, are all bloody facts that cannot be refuted.

Jaigolusia Satan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He really wanted to go back and wipe out the entire CP organization from head to toe. The people who were supposed to be doing the cleanup couldn't even keep this simple secret. What use were these dogs?

Jaigolusia Satan knew very well that there were some things that could be done, but absolutely could not be said. Once the Navy found out about these things, it would definitely cause disunity and alienation. So he finally understood why Tina and the others reacted this way.

"It looks like none of you will be leaving here alive today!"

Slowly, he drew his sword, the blade reflecting Jaigollucia Satan's cold face and unparalleled killing intent.

They have done this countless times over the past eight hundred years: to erase all those who know the truth, to bury the facts, and to reshape the historical memory of the people. They are already very skilled at it.

Jaygolucia Satan believes he will do better after today's lesson.

The sharp glint of the blades was reflected on the sea, their tips angled towards the crew of the steel warship. Jaigolusia Satan Saint gave the order:

"Kill them all!"

The air force, secretly formed by elites selected from around the world through the World Government's plundering of all flight-type Devil Fruits, immediately launched an aerial combat mode. Relying on its air superiority, it first launched a fierce long-range attack on the steel warships from high altitude.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang..."

Amidst a hail of bullets, a large number of bullets fell on the steel warship, making a clanging sound.

Although these people were equipped with the latest firearms improved and updated by research institutions under the World Government, possessing extremely powerful firepower, Yang Ming's flagship was no less formidable.

Since receiving the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements from Yang Ming, Franky has been quietly cultivating in seclusion over the years. Thanks to the convenience of the Carrera Company, he has been able to obtain a considerable amount of materials to feed him to increase his skill proficiency, thereby helping him grow faster.

With the unique properties of the Divine Machine Refinement, Franky remodeled Yang Ming's flagship, making every inch of the hull exceptionally sturdy and giving it additional functions. It was essentially a mobile fortress at sea, and even when bombarded by enemy artillery, it would be difficult to destroy.

It can be said that, apart from lacking great fame and destructive power, this steel warship is comparable to the Hades Warship, one of the ancient weapons, in terms of its sturdiness.

King against king, against general.

As the air force launched its offensive against the navy, Yang Ming and Jaigollucia Satan faced each other across the distance, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Yang Ming lightly stroked the Zanpakuto in his hand with his fingers and murmured:

"Seated atop the frosty sky! Hyōrinmaru!"

With the opening of the "Shikai" command, Yang Ming's Zanpakuto emitted a large amount of cold air, like the cold air from an open refrigerator, which spread around and combined with water molecules in the air, instantly condensing into small ice crystals that fell like raindrops.

The Zanpakuto's blade became longer and more slender, with an iron chain emerging from its tail. At the end of the chain was a crescent-shaped blade, which at first glance resembled the tail of an ice dragon.

"Ok?"

Jaigolusia Satan Saint let out a soft "Eh," staring at the Zanpakuto in Yang Ming's hand with a look of surprise and uncertainty. This was completely different from the intelligence. Shouldn't the Shura General be someone who plays with fire? Why is he now playing with ice?

Yang Ming ignored Jaigolusia Satan's surprise and swung his sword back at him from a distance.

"Ice Dragon's Blazing Tail!"

A cold, sharp blade swept across the scene, instantly freezing a large amount of moisture in the air into ice blocks. These ice blocks, with their sharp edges and spikes, sprang up out of nowhere like bamboo shoots after a rain, surging forward with unstoppable force, giving the illusion that the entire airspace was frozen into ice.

A chilly wind swept over him, and when it blew against his face, it gave Jaigollucia Satan Saint the feeling that it was already the dead of winter. He felt as if he were on a winter island, with the temperature of the surrounding air dropping sharply, and he felt a sense of discomfort on his body.

"Little tricks!"

Jaigolusia Satan Saint swung his sword backhand, his Armament Haki, which was condensed and not dispersed, wrapped around the blade, turning the entire longsword into a jet-black color. The sharp blade light instantly cut the approaching frost into fragments, and the exploding ice crystals splashed in all directions. However, Yang Ming had already disappeared from sight.
