Back then, after Yang Ming completed the mission in Water 7, he still needed Yang Ming to go there to protect the city for a while. But in just a few years, everything has changed. The boy who needed to be protected by Garp and Zeff has grown into a pillar of the Navy. He can not only protect the people in the area, but may also fulfill the long-cherished wishes of many of his senior Navy predecessors!
Sweep across the land and wipe out the bandits!
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, a towering figure burst through a window of the Marine Headquarters, hands clasped behind his back, his feet seemingly treading a path to the heavens, step by step walking from the sky towards the harbor above Marineford.
Despite the admiring gazes of thousands, Yang Ming remained calm, but looking at the fruits of his years of planning and the massive army of hundreds of thousands under his command, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, a true man should be like this.
Awake to hold the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman!
That's what a real man does!
"My comrades in the Navy, my friends, I am speaking to you now!"
"The war against the Bigo Pirates cannot be seen as an ordinary war. This will be a war between order and chaos, and it will be our Navy that takes the first step to end the Great Pirate Era!"
"Our strength is inexhaustible because it comes from the people behind us, from our relatives and friends, and from our determination and perseverance in protecting our homeland. The arrogant enemy will soon pay the price and learn this lesson."
"All soldiers, heed my command! From this day forth, we shall march upon all nations!"
"I believe that when you return in triumph, the people will be eagerly awaiting your return!"
They will welcome you like heroes!
Chapter 396 Awe-inspiring power that shakes rivers and mountains, destiny set in motion!
"Our strength is inexhaustible because it comes from the people behind us, from our relatives and friends, and from our determination and perseverance in protecting our homeland. The arrogant enemy will soon pay the price and learn this lesson."
"All soldiers, heed my command! From this day forth, we shall march upon all nations!"
"I believe that when you return in triumph, the people will be eagerly awaiting your return!"
They will welcome you like heroes!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from League of Legends. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, a lottery wheel that was invisible to others gradually appeared, divided into four sections: normal skills, hero skills, equipment and items, and hero skins.
Common skills: Barrier, Cleanse, Insight, Ignite, Weakness, Blink, Ghost Step, Heal, Clarity, Guardian, Crossbow, Retribution, Mark, Teleport.
Hero Abilities: Shattering Flame, Lava Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Style, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Sphere...

[Transcendent Evil Power]: You gain 1 stack of Transcendent Evil Power for each enemy killed with an elemental skill, and 5 stacks of Transcendent Evil Power for each Devil Fruit user killed with an elemental skill. Each stack of Transcendent Evil Power provides 1 point of elemental strength, with no upper limit.
When Yang Ming gave the order, hundreds of thousands of naval officers and soldiers shouted in unison:
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
The sound was deafening, and the power was awe-inspiring!
Even on the Sabaody Archipelago, some distance from Marine Headquarters, everyone could faintly hear a thunderous roar coming from the direction of Marine Headquarters. Everyone paled, bewildered as to what had happened to warrant such a large-scale mobilization from the Navy.
But soon, the people of the Sabaody Archipelago found out.
They all rushed to the beach of the Sabaody Archipelago. Even Rayleigh, who had been living in seclusion there, accompanied by Shakky, the owner of the extortion bar, came to a secluded cliff to look into the distance.
Stretching out one's eyes and gazing into the distance, one sees no longer the usual towering white waves, but rather warships dotting the horizon. Their metallic sheen gleams in the sunlight, forming a formidable and imposing array. A quick count reveals nearly two hundred steel warships, each refurbished, their gun ports lined up along both sides of the hull, a sight that sends shivers down one's spine.
A massive army marches forth, employing both strength and flexibility!
Its power shakes the rivers and mountains, its might determines the fate of the world!
Everyone present now has a basic understanding of the allocation of steel warships.
If we calculate based on each steel warship carrying 1200 people, then at least 20 naval soldiers are gathered here!
An army of 20!
This is not some common cabbage!
When exactly did the navy secretly assemble so many troops? Why didn't they hear any rumors about it before?
The thought of this fleet of over a hundred warships heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago sent many pirates lingering there into a panic. Some of the more timid ones even fell to the ground in fear, with foul-smelling fluid oozing from their trousers.
Even Rayleigh, the Hades who is usually very knowledgeable, was no longer calm and composed as usual, and almost plucked his beard off!
"Could it be that they came for me?"
It wasn't that Rayleigh was being presumptuous; rather, he believed he was worthy of such affection!
However, the thought that the Navy might send hundreds of thousands of troops just for him, an old man with one foot in his coffin, still felt somewhat surreal to Rayleigh.
Xia Qi, the bar owner who was trying to extort money from the bar, swallowed hard. Her legs felt weak, and she asked:
"Rayleigh, tell me the truth, did you offend that Marshal Shura in some way?"
"No...no!"
Rayleigh paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and then answered with a solemn expression.
He simply couldn't understand why this was happening.
"Xia Qi, haven't you heard anything recently?"
"Yes, there is."
Xia Qi, the bar owner who was trying to extort money from customers, looked rather unpleasant and said:
"Recently, the navy has been frequently mobilizing troops in various places, but none of them have shown any intention of coming to join the navy headquarters, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew they would suddenly appear here in large numbers."
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, seemed to be deep in thought, and a bizarre idea suddenly popped into his mind:
"Could it be that the Navy has mastered the technology of space teleportation?"
"No! That can't be right! This shouldn't be the case. If that's the case, then the Navy will be able to easily mobilize the military forces of the Navy branches throughout the four seas and the Grand Line in the future, right?"
The thought startled even Rayleigh himself.
The reason why pirates can still dodge and weave in front of the behemoth that the Navy is so powerful is because the sea is vast, the land is relatively small, and islands are scattered everywhere. The Navy's power is spread across the four seas and the Grand Line, which makes it difficult to launch a strong and targeted crackdown on the pirates.
However, if the navy gains the ability to teleport, it means that the navy can implement more powerful strategies.
Strategies such as encircling a point to attack reinforcements and trapping enemies in a pocket can be easily implemented.
“Rayleigh…”
Xia Qi, the bar owner who was trying to extort money from the elderly man beside her, looked at him with a complicated expression and said:
"Why don't you hurry back and pack your things, then escape through the secret passage?"
"No! That's not necessary!"
Rayleigh cracked his wrists, producing a series of popping sounds, and a wry smile appeared on his lips as he said:
"If the Navy's target is really me, then it's no use even if I escape to the ends of the earth. I might as well settle things with the Navy here."
The bar owner, Xia Qi, silently took Rayleigh's calloused hand and said firmly:
"If you won't leave, then I won't leave either."
The two looked into each other's eyes, their affection for one another evident.
Under their watchful eyes, the naval fleet drew closer and closer.
As the navy approached the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh's muscles tensed, and he was ready for battle.
But at that very moment, the naval fleet passed right by the Sabaody Archipelago, showing no intention of stopping there.
"What...what do you mean?"
Even Rayleigh, the King of Hades, was astonished.
I had already prepared my last words, and this is what you show me?
Chapter 397 Extraordinary Evil Power
As the navy approached the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh's muscles tensed, and he was ready for battle.
But at that very moment, the naval fleet passed right by the Sabaody Archipelago, showing no intention of stopping there.
"What...what do you mean?"
Even Rayleigh, the King of Hades, was astonished.
I had already prepared my last words, and this is what you show me?
Rayleigh, the Dark King, looked up in disbelief at the massive warship fleet in the distance. He immediately spotted the three dashing Marine Admirals at the front: Admiral Kuzan (Aokiji), Admiral Sakazuki (Akainu), and Admiral Fujitora.
Further ahead of the three of them stood Marshal Shura, his hands clasped behind his back at the bow of the ship.
Seemingly sensing Rayleigh's gaze, Yang Ming suddenly turned around, met his gaze from afar, merely nodded in greeting, and made no other move.
Clearly, the Navy's large-scale mobilization of troops was not for that old geezer Rayleigh.
This result greatly frustrated Rayleigh, the god of the underworld.
It's hard for others to understand Rayleigh's feelings. The Navy clearly didn't consider him a target, so shouldn't this be something to be happy about?
But the truth is the opposite.
If you don't quite understand, an example will make it clear.
The most beautiful girl in your school is still unmarried at thirty after graduation. You, who were once her suitors, suddenly contact her to meet. She thought you were there to pursue her, so she dressed up carefully and planned to politely reject you and enjoy your disappointed look. But when you met, you sent her a wedding invitation. It would be strange if she wasn't upset.
At this moment, Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, is like the school beauty in the example.
He was Roger's right-hand man, a once formidable figure. He thought that the Navy would gather a large army to defeat him, so that even if he died on the battlefield, he would leave a strong mark in the history books. Anyone who reads this history will give Rayleigh, that old geezer, a thumbs up and respect him as a true hero, not just an unknown old man who died of old age.
But now, the Navy is ignoring him!
Rayleigh was furious!
What exactly is he in the eyes of the Navy?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Rayleigh took off his shirt and was about to jump off the cliff to follow the navy fleet when he was suddenly stopped by Shakky, the bar owner who was trying to extort money from him.
