The establishment of the Auxiliary Army is enough to attract other races to participate. There are too many races like the Fish-Men who have difficulty surviving on this sea. As long as Yang Ming opens this door, many alien races that cannot survive will flock in.

This is something Yang Ming doesn't need to worry about.

Yang Ming only needed to draw a few circles on the map, designating several naval branch bases as experimental fields, and order Vice Admiral Smoker and his loyal subordinates to use Vice Admiral Domino's book "Two or Three Ideas on the Transformation of Auxiliary Army into Regular Army" as a model to carry out the operation.

Looking up at the huge map hanging on the wall, with flags symbolizing naval power stuck upside down on it.

Among them, the West Sea, one of the four seas, is mostly covered with naval flags. This is the result of the Governor's tireless efforts to suppress bandits over the years. The West Sea, once known as the strongest sea, has now become the weakest sea. Mafia and pirates are rarely seen on this sea, and the security environment has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The other three seas are also being gradually addressed. Once the four seas are thoroughly governed, the rapid increase in the number of pirates can be stopped, the arrival of a new era of piracy can be halted, and once the pirates of the Grand Line and the New World are wiped out, the world will enter a period of peace.

Of course, this so-called peace is only temporary.

As long as Lord Im and the Celestial Dragons exist in this world, the exploitation of ordinary people will continue. As long as this exploitation is not eliminated, the soil that breeds pirates will continue to exist.

On this huge map, in addition to the naval forces that are gradually expanding to various places, there is another rising star, namely the Revolutionary Army.

With Yang Ming providing funding, weapons, and equipment, the revolutionary army, after taking control of the Kingdom of Alabasta, used it as a base. After a six-month period of recuperation, they re-emerged and launched attacks on all sides, liberating five or six surrounding feudal kingdoms with their formidable strength and freeing the exploited people.

The revolutionary army, which has reappeared before the world, has swelled to more than one million in number!

Although most of these million warriors were recruits from the Kingdom of Alabasta, and the time between ordinary civilians and armed soldiers was only about six months, their combat skills were naturally not to be expected to be high. However, their fighting passion and enthusiasm were incomparable to those of the corrupt and backward royal army.

Revolutionary Army leader Long and Yang Ming were bosom friends, sharing common ideals. In formulating strategies, Long heeded Yang Ming's advice, boldly taking significant steps and shouting slogans:

"Fight the nobles and divide the land!"

Why did the revolutionary army, after occupying the Kingdom of Alabasta, manage to eliminate the influence of the Neferutari family's eight-hundred-year rule and gain widespread recognition and support from the local people in just six months?

This is one of the reasons!

After taking over the Kingdom of Alabasta, the revolutionary army redefined the ownership of land and property, distributing the land and wealth of the corrupt nobles equally among every commoner.

In this day and age, how many nobles are without a bad reputation?

It can be said that the Revolutionary Army's actions directly dismantled all the noble forces within the Kingdom of Alabasta. Even if a few nobles put up armed resistance, they were no match for the Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon, and were quickly wiped out.

With widespread popular support, the revolutionary army set out to conquer all directions. In each kingdom they conquered, they repeated their experience in the Kingdom of Alabasta, completely overthrowing the nobles and winning over even more popular support.

As a result, despite the revolutionary army's repeated attacks during this period, its numbers did not decrease but instead expanded like a snowball, increasing exponentially to three million men.

If it weren't for the revolutionary leader Long's conscious restraint of his subordinates, strong control over the army, and streamlining of personnel, this number could have increased several times over.

Despite the large number of three million revolutionaries, their fighting strength may not be as great as that of a million-strong navy. The army is filled with many new recruits, and even ordinary civilians who have just joined the army.

No matter how you look at it, if the Revolutionary Army continues to develop in this way, its size will only grow larger and larger. Now, with the Kingdom of Alabasta as its center and the nearby kingdoms it has just conquered as its shields, it has built a three-dimensional defense line, forming a terrifying force that threatens the major member states of the World Government. It is like a ferocious beast lying on the sea, eyeing other kingdoms with predatory intent.

Chapter 394 Prelude to Attacking the Big Mom Pirates

No matter how you look at it, if the Revolutionary Army continues to develop in this way, its size will only grow larger and larger. Now, with the Kingdom of Alabasta as its center and the nearby kingdoms it has just conquered as its shields, it has built a three-dimensional defense line, forming a terrifying force that threatens the major member states of the World Government. It is like a ferocious beast lying on the sea, eyeing other kingdoms with predatory intent.

Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

This was the second strategy Yang Ming gave to Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, following "fight the nobles and distribute the land".

After conquering several kingdoms near Alabasta, the Revolutionary Army needed not to advance bravely and swiftly, but to patiently hone its troops, implement land-based finance to the fullest extent, completely eradicate the noble forces within its borders, and at the same time instill its ideology in the army, improving its combat effectiveness through training and combat.

There are only about 170 member states of the World Government in total. In just a few months, several member states have been lost. Moreover, from the kings to the noble families of these member states, all of them have been wiped out by the Revolutionary Army. All their wealth has been distributed to every citizen. This practice quickly created a whirlwind within the member states of the World Government.

Therefore, the World Government convened a Supreme Conference, chaired by the Five Elders, with the kings of all member states in attendance, to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, King Walpo of the Drum Kingdom remarked to the other kings:

"All those precious Pele are being given to the poor, what a tragedy!"

The kings felt a pang of sympathy and wholeheartedly agreed with this sentiment.

"The nation's wealth belongs to the king and nobles, and everything that the common people own naturally belongs to us as well. What right do they have to take our things from us?"

“Those lowly people are filthy, ignorant, and backward. They are a bunch of lost sheep who foolishly believed the stupid words of the revolutionary army. This is all the fault of us shepherds. After we eliminate the revolutionary army, we will make these lost sheep pay a bloody price!”

"Seconded!"

"Agree!"

The kings of the major member states present at the meeting were basically on the same side, and their views on this matter were surprisingly consistent.

Cobra sat in the seat of the Five Elders, listening to the speeches below. He could do nothing but remain silent, his brow furrowed.

King Wapol of Drum Kingdom, seeing that his speech had resonated with so many people, felt a sense of pride. He straightened his collar, stood up, and addressed the Five Elders:

"We absolutely cannot continue to sit idly by and watch the Revolutionary Army grow stronger. We must wipe them out before they become too powerful. We request the World Government to issue an order for the entire Navy to launch an attack and severely strike at the Revolutionary Army's arrogance."

Upon hearing this, the Crescent Moon Hunter, Katrina Devon, disguised as Jaigolusia Satan Saint, first glanced at Cobra, and seeing that he showed no intention of speaking, said blankly:

"We cannot accept your proposal."

"why?"

"Because, Marshal Shura decided several months ago to first destroy the Bigo Pirates' forces before engaging in a decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates. Considering the time frame, the Navy has been planning for this for quite some time, and they should have already begun mobilization by now."

"Nani?"

Upon hearing this shocking news, all the kings of the member states, including King Walpo of Drum Kingdom, were greatly alarmed.

Prior to this, they had already heard the news that the Navy was going to have a decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, but they had never heard that the Navy wanted to wipe out the Bigo Pirates first. On the contrary, various news about the Bigo Pirates and the Charlotte family scandals had been reported extensively in the past few months, leaving a deep impression on people.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The key point is that the Bigo Pirates are different from the Beasts Pirates. They have long established kinship ties with various powers through marriage alliances. Even if they succeed in wiping out the Bigo Pirates, it could severely weaken the Navy.

At that time, will the Navy still have the resources to fight the Revolutionary Army, given that they are preparing for the upcoming decisive battle against the Whitebeard Pirates?

Upon thinking of this, the kings of the member states, including King Walpo of Drum Kingdom, felt a deep unease.

At this moment, how much they regretted not heeding the advice of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku when he was in charge of the navy, and not establishing the position of Kingdom Guardian in their own kingdom.

At that time, they mistakenly believed that the navy wanted to seize power from them.

Now, they are filled with regret.

Of course, even if God gave these stingy kings like Grandet another chance, they would not appoint a guardian of their kingdom.

After all, they are responsible for all expenses and give the green light to the Kingdom Guardians to form the Kingdom Guard. No one would be at ease with that. Only a few dozen member states have established the position of Kingdom Guardian and hired retired generals from the Navy Headquarters at high salaries.

Often, the member states that do this are extremely far from the Kingdom of Alabasta, which is now the largest open base of the Revolutionary Army, and they are not worried at all about the Revolutionary Army attacking their homeland in a short period of time.

Kobra sat calmly in the seat of the Five Elders, taking in the reactions of the more than one hundred kings of the member states. He lowered his head, sipped his tea, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Could it be that all of this was within Marshal Shura's expectations?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid his plan started long ago, before he was even a Marine Admiral."

"No! To put it even more boldly, it might have been even earlier than that!"

"But if that's the case, Marshal Shura was less than ten years old back then!"

"All I can say is, this is truly a prodigy!"

"Fortunately, I am now on the same side as Marshal Shura, and since Weiwei is able to marry such a powerful figure, she won't have to worry about the rest of her life."

The protagonist Cobra was thinking about was, just as they had said, already assembling his forces at Marine Headquarters. Rows of refurbished steel warships stood on the rippling blue sea, their steely gleaming in the sunlight.

After Yang Ming took over as the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, all officers of the rank of Rear Admiral and above in the Navy Headquarters were assigned to steel warships. Each steel warship carried an average of 1,200 elite naval soldiers. When these soldiers, who had practiced the Vajra Indestructible Boy Kung Fu, stood on the deck, they exuded a strong masculine aura.

Chapter 395 They will welcome you like heroes.

After Yang Ming took over as the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, all officers of the rank of Rear Admiral and above in the Navy Headquarters were assigned to steel warships. Each steel warship carried an average of 1,200 elite naval soldiers. When these soldiers, who had practiced the Vajra Indestructible Boy Kung Fu, stood on the deck, they exuded a strong masculine aura.

Every soldier was fully armed, from head to toe. They had rifles slung across their shoulders and long knives at their waists. Their well-tailored uniforms made them look spirited, and they stood ramrod straight, like long spears standing on the ground. Their eyes were bright and piercing, captivating the heart.

Each steel warship was categorized and moored on the sea outside the harbor.

Near the front, on the steel warships, were the governor-general and his generals who had been the first to follow Yang Ming.

These elite soldiers who accompanied Yang Ming on his campaigns were a battle-hardened force, each bearing scars. Judging from their injuries, one could tell the extent of the brutal warfare they had endured, perhaps even losing limbs.

Fortunately, since Princess Mansherry of the Dwarf race joined Yang Ming's command, the life-saving potion extracted from her bathwater has been distributed to the navy, saving the lives of many wounded soldiers. Even those who suffer life-threatening injuries can recover completely as long as they are sent back to the rear in time to receive personal treatment from Princess Mansherry.

For this reason, each of these elite soldiers directly under Yang Ming exudes a terrifying and ferocious aura, as if they have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. Ordinary people would probably tremble with fear if they stood in front of them.

A scientist once proposed a very interesting concept: magnetic fields.

Magnetic fields can be categorized into natural magnetic fields, human magnetic fields, and life magnetic fields.

These battle-hardened elite soldiers exude a bloodthirsty aura, a unique life magnetic field that can intimidate creatures far weaker than themselves. It's somewhat similar to the function of Conqueror's Haki, only far inferior.

It can be said that Conqueror's Haki is an extremely special life magnetic field.

Among these battle-hardened elite soldiers, there were two groups.

A group of people dressed in Iron Man Mark armor, their bodies covered in metal plates, with red and silver as the main colors, exuded a sci-fi vibe. The rows of soldiers standing there created a strong visual impact, radiating a dazzling light in the sunlight.

The other group is the Zoan-type Devil Fruit user legion that Yang Ming has been secretly cultivating. Thanks to Caesar Clown's in-depth research on artificial Devil Fruits and the Hulk serum, they are now able to mass-produce artificial Devil Fruits, producing a stable 20 artificial Devil Fruits every month.

Don't think that producing 20 artificial Devil Fruits a month is a small number.

It's important to know that this year alone can produce 240 artificial Devil Fruits.

If this were to continue for ten years, it would be possible to produce 2400 artificial Devil Fruits.

While each artificial Devil Fruit cannot compare to a real one, it can still bring about tremendous changes to the soldiers who consume it. Zoan-type Devil Fruits grant them stronger physiques, more agile movements, sharper nerves, and some additional special abilities.

Although the Devil Fruit user legion has fewer than one hundred members, each one is a skilled hand handpicked by Yang Ming from the military. They are all loyal to Yang Ming, with clear resumes, eliminating the possibility of spies from outside forces and ensuring the purity of the team. They are the sharpest blade in Yang Ming's hands.

These soldiers did not maintain their human form, but instead revealed their orc form. Each of them was burly and had a streamlined body. Each of them had a beast head on their neck, baring their teeth and revealing rows of sharp fangs. They exuded a terrifying aura.

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu and Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji stood side by side on the dock, observing the grand military display, and their expressions were both moved.

"I never imagined the Marshal had been hiding his true intentions so well!"

"Yes, I originally thought that even with Vice Admiral Jonathan running around trying to win over potential allies, our Navy, as the main force, would be severely weakened if we had to take on the Bigo Pirates head-on. But now it seems we were too naive!"

"With such a powerful army, wiping out the Four Emperors is just around the corner!"

Even Admiral Sakazuki Akainu, who had previously competed with Yang Ming for the position of Fleet Admiral, suddenly felt a surge of pride and admiration.

These soldiers, who were able to climb step by step from the grassroots to the naval headquarters, all had ideals and ambitions. No matter what methods they used, they all had the heroic ambition to eliminate the bandits.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but recall the words Yang Ming had spoken when he took office as the Marshal of the Navy Headquarters:

"I only wish to cleanse the four directions and protect this corner of the floating world!"

The person with the most complex emotions among those present was none other than Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji.
