Given their current strength, Smoker and Ain might not be able to defeat Revolutionary Army officer Ivankov and Shichibukai Jinbe.

However, the opponent's lightning strike and the transvestites on the fifth floor of Impel Down were more than enough.

Faced with Smoker's smoke punch, Lightning had no choice but to temporarily hold Luffy in his arms and use his "Cut-Cut Fruit" ability to cut off a large section of the ground to block in front of him as a barrier.

"boom------!"

However, although the rock barrier successfully blocked Smoker's smoke punch, the next second a pair of long legs covered in Armament Haki easily kicked the rock wall in front of Lightning, and a hand emitting a pinkish-red light also quickly enveloped Lightning's vision.

Lightning's face was enveloped by a long, slender hand, and he was thrown out, crashing into a pile of rubble.

When Ivan realized something was wrong and looked over again, he found that Lightning's appearance had changed drastically.

Overall, there weren't any major changes in Lightning's physique, but he did notice that he looked younger!

"What's going on? What kind of Devil Fruit ability does that Marine have? It can actually make people younger?"

Isn't this blatant aiding the enemy? If possible, please provide that too.

Ivankov looked at the lightning bolt that had hit his face, which not only didn't cause any obvious damage but actually made him look older, and couldn't help but show a look of envy.

Human lifespan is limited, and the time that can be maintained at peak condition is only a few years. Seeing Ain's ability, not many people can remain unmoved.

Unfortunately, Ain's ability cannot achieve true "immortality," because no matter how much the body's age is reversed, the human soul and even its organs have limits.

Furthermore, if the same age group regresses, Ain's ability can only be used once.

For example, if Ain uses her Devil Fruit power to rewind someone's age from 30 to 18, then 12 years later, when that person is 30 again, Ain will no longer be able to rewind them back to their 18-year-old state.

Compared to the "Op-Op Fruit's" immortality surgery, the "Rewind-Rewind Fruit" doesn't have such overpowered abilities, but it also doesn't have any obvious side effects, making it an extremely powerful Devil Fruit.

Moreover, the "Rewind Fruit" can affect not only living beings, but also non-living beings. It is a true ability to influence spacetime, which is why Wood was so moved by this fruit in the past.

"Oh, you want to become younger too? Then I wouldn't mind letting Ain help you."

But be careful, if you get too young, you might really disappear from this world.

Ain's Devil Fruit ability can rewind an opponent's physical age by 12 years with a single touch. I wonder how many more 12-year periods your subordinate has left to rewind?

Gion brandished her golden sword, the pressure of which instantly dispersed the surrounding dust, and said with a charming smile.

"Touching it once will result in a 12-year retirement? What if the body's age is less than 12 years...?"

"That's right, if a person's physical age is less than 12 years, their existence will be directly erased from this world!"

No matter how strong the opponent was originally, whether they were a pirate emperor or a marine admiral, there would be no surprises!

Chapter 467 The Strength of a Candidate General

"Alright, for Mr. Garp's sake, I've given you enough information. Whether you can survive here depends on your own abilities."

Upon hearing Gion's words, Ivan was clearly taken aback for a moment, then he put on a rather ingratiating expression and said, "Then, I wonder if Vice Admiral Momousagi could let us pass, for the sake of Vice Admiral Garp?"

Putting aside Luffy's personal strength, the prince's family background is still quite impressive. His mentor is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, his sworn brother is the Pirate King's biological son, his father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and even his grandfather is the Marine hero Garp.

Although Garp may seem a bit unconventional, as one of the Navy's most senior officers, many admirals in the Navy Headquarters have received his help and admire him greatly.

Gion is clearly one of them; she received a lot of help from Garp when she was in the Navy.

Actually, Gion didn't need to tell Ivankov and the others about Ain's Devil Fruit ability. The reason she revealed it now was simply to hope that Luffy and his crew could seize this glimmer of hope.

Gion herself is conflicted; she is a Marine representing justice, while Luffy, the Straw Hat Luffy, is Garp's only grandson.

If she kills him here, how will she face Vice Admiral Garp afterwards?

"Don't push your luck. I am a member of the Navy, while you are a rebellious revolutionary army and pirates. You think you can make me move aside? That's impossible."

But if you can break through Ain and Smoker's defenses, I can't just turn a blind eye and let you leave.

For Gion, who is always very serious, being able to achieve this level is indeed the limit.

After hesitating for a moment, Ivankov had no choice but to go to the unconscious Luffy again, and needles emerged from his fingertips, which he then inserted directly into Luffy's body.

"Ambrio Excitement Hormone," one of Ivankov's abilities from the "Hormones Fruit," is essentially the so-called "adrenaline."

The effect is to make people extremely excited, even berserk, and to gain extremely powerful strength for a short period of time.

Of course, this kind of overdrafting of the body's capacity also has huge side effects. Once the state of excitement is over, the overdrafted body will feel completely drained in an instant, and in severe cases, it may even lead to death on the spot.

Ivankov used this on Luffy once before, back in Impel Down, and this is the second time.

The repeated use of "stimulant hormones" is a rather dangerous thing, but now they seem to have no other choice.

He and Jinbe needed to deal with "Momosasagi," and Lightning alone, along with his "Newtypes," was simply not enough to defeat Smoker and Ain.

Ivankov realized that although the man and woman were only naval captains, they were not ordinary naval captains at all.

Under the influence of "excitement hormones," Luffy, who had been unconscious, quickly woke up and looked at Gion not far away with bloodshot eyes.

At this moment, he was in a state of high excitement and felt that he had inexhaustible energy, so he thought about challenging Gion again.

However, before he could make a move, Ivan grabbed his shoulder.

"Straw Hat Boy, you heard me? Next, you and Lightning just need to figure out how to break through the encirclement of those two Marine captains over there."

As for that vice admiral, don't even think about it. Even if you were given a few more doses of adrenaline, you still wouldn't be a match for her.

That person was not an ordinary vice admiral, but a "candidate admiral" given a code name by the Navy Headquarters.

The so-called "admiral candidates" refer to individuals whose strength is close to that of a Navy admiral, but who are temporarily filling vacancies due to a lack of available positions. They are not comparable to ordinary Navy vice admirals.

Before Ivankov could finish speaking, Jinbe added from the side, "Moreover, even among the candidates for admiral, Vice Admiral Momousagi in front of us is one of the strongest."

We had clashed with her before on Enies Lobby, and back then, neither I nor anyone I admired was a match for her.

Even Mr. Wood at the time was merely on par with her.

What codename? A candidate for admiral? Ivankov said so much to Luffy, but he still didn't understand much of it.

However, Luffy quickly understood what Jinbe said, so he looked at the tall Gion in surprise and said, "Is this woman that strong? Even Wood couldn't beat her before?"

Of all the people Luffy knows, there are only a few whom he considers invincible: his grandfather Garp, Shanks, Rayleigh, and finally Wood.

When Jinbe revealed that Gion had once been evenly matched with Wood, Luffy's gaze towards him immediately changed.

"I understand, thank you. Little Ivan and Jinbe, please help me stop her."

Luffy is hot-blooded, but he's not a complete idiot. He won't fight to the death against an enemy he can't defeat. At least for now, his most important thing is to rescue Ace, not to fight.

"You must know that Navy Captain Smoker before, so I won't say any more."

The blue-haired female navy officer should also be watched closely; her ability is to cause the target's age to regress by 12 years by touching them.

At your age, if you were touched even once, you'd probably lose your fighting ability; if you were touched again, you'd be completely annihilated.

After instructing Lightning and Luffy to be careful of Ain's abilities, Ivankov and Jinbe rushed towards Momousagi at the same time.

Frankly speaking, even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea joined forces with the Revolutionary Army officers, Jinbe and his group felt that they didn't have much of a chance of winning.

Even if they have no chance of winning, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Fishman Karate - 8,000 Watt Straight Punch!"

"Ambrio Face Growth Hormone!" Ivan first used the Hormone-Hormone Fruit's power to enlarge his face several times over, and then unleashed a DEATH WINK at Momousagi.

Faced with the oncoming fist pressure and explosive wind, Gion gripped the Kinpira in her hand and unleashed a powerful outward slash!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lightning and Luffy clashed head-on with Smoker and Ain.

Smoker and Luffy have a personal grudge, so as soon as they met, Smoker called him "Straw Hat Boy" and rushed towards him.

As for Ain, she naturally has to face Lightning and the other transvestites from the "New Humans" as her opponents.

Knowing that Ain's ability could only be activated by directly touching a person with both hands, Lightning used the power of the "Pscissor Fruit" to cut the surrounding air, giving himself and the "Newtype" next to him an air vest each.

Since it is made of air, it offers no defense whatsoever, but that is enough.

Because Ain's "Rewind Fruit" ability can only be activated by directly touching the target, and it will have an effect even on non-living objects.

In other words, even clothes or armor might not be able to withstand it. Who knows if it will be directly converted into materials after 12 years of retirement?

The function of air clothing is naturally well done, because even if air were to regress a hundred or a thousand years, it would still still be air.

"It seems that Vice Admiral Gion has completely sold me out, and your Devil Fruit ability is quite effective against mine."

But if you think I became a Marine Headquarters Captain solely because of my Devil Fruit abilities, then you're sorely mistaken!

As Ain spoke, she slowly drew a long sword from her waist. This sword was no ordinary weapon; it was a gift from Gion to her when she was promoted to naval captain, one of the fifty sharp swords known as "Kanji".

Ain grew up idolizing Wood, whose brother was a renowned swordsman on the high seas. Her current boss, Momousagi, was also a great general, so it was impossible for him to be completely ignorant of swordsmanship.

Besides being a user of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit, Ain is also a female swordsman who has mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Ain, who charged forward at high speed, appeared in front of Lightning's group in just a few moments. With several dazzling slashes, Ivankov's so-called new humans didn't even have time to react before falling into pools of blood.

As a naval captain, Ein naturally knew how to use the Six Styles of the Navy. Although she hadn't mastered all six styles, she had mastered the more practical ones, such as "Moonwalk," "Shave," and "Iron Body."

To be fair, these "new humans" who followed Ivankov, although they were all so-called abnormal, were actually quite strong in terms of ability.

These monsters were previously imprisoned on Level 5.5 of Impel Down, and each of them had a bounty on their head that was at least 50 million Berries, if not hundreds of millions.

Pirates of this caliber would be a tough opponent for even a regular naval captain, but Ain was cutting them down one by one as easily as chopping vegetables.

Lightning, as Ivankov's right-hand man, was also the strongest among the group. His arms transformed into two large scissors, and he plunged his hands into the ground before starting to run rapidly.

The hard ground was sheared off as lightly as cloth, and then with a flick of lightning, a large number of rock pillars crashed down toward Ain.
