The Paramecia-type Encouragement Fruit grants Belo Betty the power to awaken the hidden strength within people by waving flags and shouting.
The human body has unlimited potential, but such potential is generally hidden within the human body.
Under normal circumstances, only those so-called "protagonists" can unleash such power when subjected to strong emotional fluctuations in specific situations, which is known as "breaking out of their form"!
The "Encouragement Fruit" ability allows this explosive power to be made available to everyone, instead of being exclusive to the protagonist.
Even the "burst" can now be actively triggered instead of passively triggered!
Sabo, who originally ate the "Flame-Flame Fruit," was only on par with Fujitora in terms of strength. However, with the power of Belo Betty's Encouragement Fruit, Belo Betty's potential was unleashed, and her combat power suddenly surged once again!
Moreover, the Encouragement Fruit's power is area-of-effect; under Belo Betty's power, Sabo is not the only one whose potential is unleashed due to encouragement.
The other Revolutionary Army comrades, under the influence of Belo Betty's "Encouragement Fruit" ability, instantly became like they had been given a stimulant, and began to exert their strength to overwhelm the Navy, who were already at a disadvantage.
The power of the "Encouragement Fruit" has affected not only the Revolutionary Army, but also the people of Dressrosa who were originally turned into toys by Sugar's fruit power. They have all mustered up the courage to start a rebellion against the Donquixote Family.
The Navy's previous inaction, coupled with its previous act of sheltering Doflamingo, naturally led these Dressrosa citizens, who were now harboring rebellious intentions, to regard them as accomplices.
Therefore, it is only natural that the navy, which was already at a disadvantage, was completely powerless to resist the onslaught of the enraged citizens of Dressrosa.
Aokiji originally didn't want to take action, after all, his current identity was that of an executive of "Wood Weapons Company".
However, when they saw Fujitora being suppressed by Sabo, and other marines falling one after another in the Revolutionary Army's attack.
Seeing the heavy casualties among the Marines, Aokiji finally couldn't help but take action!
And so, a great battle erupted between the Navy and the Revolutionary Army, between Aokiji and Sabo, and between Fujitora and Koala, Belo Betty, and other Revolutionary Army officers!
Sabo himself did not expect that two current admirals and one former admiral would gather on Dressrosa Island this time!
"As far as I know, Mr. Aokiji should have left the Navy and joined the Wood Arms Company."
But now they're even helping the Navy against our Revolutionary Army. It seems the rumors at sea aren't entirely true. Or is there some other story behind Admiral Aokiji's defection from the Navy?
Wood is the logistics minister of the Revolutionary Army, and only a few high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army know about this. Therefore, it is not impossible for Aokiji to take action against their Revolutionary Army. However, this does not prevent Sabo from testing Aokiji.
"It is true that I defected from the Navy, but that was only because of conflicts with the Navy's high command, and had nothing to do with the lower-ranking Navy officers."
On one side is my former subordinate, on the other is someone who disturbs the peace of the sea. Who do you think I would choose to help?
Faced with Sabo's probing, Aokiji's words were impeccable, and he stated that his assistance to the Navy was solely due to his past friendship with his colleagues, and was entirely a personal matter with no connection whatsoever to "Wood Arms Company".
Sabo couldn't explain to Aokiji that Wood was a member of the Revolutionary Army, and based on their intelligence, they also believed that Aokiji might not have genuinely joined "Wood Weapons Company." So, for now, Sabo had no choice but to fight Aokiji.
Aokiji's arrival directly leveled the playing field between the Revolutionary Army and the Navy, leading to a chaotic free-for-all on the island.
Currently, Dressrosa Island is a chaotic mess with many factions vying for power, including the Navy against the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates and other pirates against the Donquixote Family.
At the royal palace, Law and Luffy are fighting Doflamingo, while at the arena, Wood's battle with Momousagi is nearing its end.
Once this incident comes to an end, the ocean will inevitably be shaken once again.
Two years later, following the "Marineford War," this battle in Dressrosa is likely the second large-scale battle involving the most forces and the highest level of involvement.
Currently, there are two Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea), three former and current Marine Admirals, and one neutral figure of Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) level.
Moreover, this doesn't even include Luffy, Zoro, and other supernovas from the Worst Generation, as well as Chinjao and other well-known pirates.
"Gion, haven't you had enough of this? Continuing to fight like this won't get you anywhere."
You should be well aware that I haven't used my full strength, and I don't want to kill my few remaining friends.
The arena, once one of the most magnificent buildings in Dressrosa, is now a ruin. The once grand building has completely disappeared from the map.
Wood and Momousagi stood separately on the split arena, each holding a long sword and facing each other.
Due to the previous fierce fight, both of them had some injuries, but they were all minor.
And if you look closely, you'll find that the only injuries on the two of them are in minor, insignificant places.
Both were among the top swordsmen on the high seas, so when they attacked, they naturally knew the vital points of each other.
The reason for this situation is that both of them held back and genuinely didn't want the other to suffer too serious an injury.
"See those threads hanging in the air? That's Doflamingo's trump card ability—'Birdcage'."
Once the Birdcage is completely closed, not to mention those of us stronger than Doflamingo, not a single one of the many innocent Dressrosa civilians and ordinary marines on the island will survive.
Given this situation, are you sure you want to waste your time here with me?
Wood knew perfectly well that Momousagi was a righteous Marine, so he had completely figured out her mindset.
"No matter what, I believe you will never betray the justice in your heart."
"I won't tell Sengoku Ōmezuki or Vice Admiral Tsuru what you said to me before. You're still the Navy's Admiral Candidate, the Wood I know."
After leaving those words, Momousagi took Ain and left.
Momousagi didn't know what Wood wanted to do, but she could never accept that Wood wanted to betray the Navy.
In her eyes, the Navy is justice, and Wood's desire to betray the Navy is undoubtedly a betrayal of justice.
But perhaps she herself didn't realize that what Momousagi cared about wasn't whether Wood had betrayed the Navy; she simply didn't want to stand against Wood...
What Wood said earlier was practically tantamount to announcing his defection.
However, Momousagi, who is always fair and impartial, chose to cover up for Wood, which means that, in a sense, Wood's importance in Momousagi's mind has begun to surpass the Navy's "justice".
"Oh my, our captain is really charming. He managed to get the fair and honest Admiral Momousagi to start hiding secrets for you with just a few words?"
Judging from this trend, it might not be impossible for them to one day turn a naval admiral to their side.
Robin's tone was full of jealousy. She was quite happy when Wood told Momousagi those things and hinted that he would betray them in the future.
Since Momousagi is a Marine Admiral, if Wood wants to overthrow the World Government, the two will inevitably end up on opposite sides.
Their differing stances meant that the two could not be together, thus eliminating one of Robin's most formidable rivals.
But to Robin's utter surprise, their captain's charm was so powerful. Judging from Momousagi's expression when he left, it was clear they would become adversaries in the future.
If Wood were willing to sacrifice her charm and say a few heartfelt words, Momousagi might just betray Kinpira and side with the World Government...
"Stop being nosy. I know Gion's personality. She's not a rigid person. She's just not open-minded right now because she has feelings for the Navy, such as Vice Admiral Tsuru and others."
Back in Mary Geoise, she was one of the accomplices in the liberation of slaves.
If the World Government keeps making foolish decisions, she'll leave the Navy sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.
Brushing the dust off his clothes, Wood watched Momousagi leave and then took out a Den Den Mushi to contact Aokiji so they could go to the final stage to watch the play together.
As a newly promoted executive at their "Wood Weapons Company," it's really unacceptable that his boss, who has been on the island for so long, hasn't even come to greet him.
However, in reality, Koala had secretly contacted Wood beforehand, asking him to find a reason to transfer Aokiji away. Because of his obstruction, the Revolutionary Army is now in a difficult situation.
"Blu blu blu!"
Aokiji, who was fighting Sabo, suddenly felt the Den Den Mushi on his chest and knew that the damned, unscrupulous arms dealer was looking for him.
"General Aokiji, is it your boss looking for you? If you're so busy, why bother coming over and causing trouble?"
A single "Brutal Pheasant Beak" forced Sabo back, and Aokiji also retreated while taking out the Den Den Mushi from his chest.
Strangely, when Sabo of the Revolutionary Army saw him answer the Den Den Mushi, he didn't take advantage of the situation. Instead, he just watched him make the call with amusement.
"Aokiji, where are you jungling again? You really disappoint me."
I was thinking of promoting you when you got back because you did a perfect job rescuing Monet and Caesar, but I never expected you to go and help the Navy fight the Revolutionary Army.
As soon as Aokiji answered the Den Den Mushi, he was met with a barrage of insults from Wood. Aokiji could guarantee that when he was at Marine Headquarters, even when Fleet Admiral Sengoku was scolding him, he wasn't this arrogant.
And that's not the point. The point is that Wood actually knows he's helping the Navy fight the Revolutionary Army!
Monet and Caesar have been placed in a safe place to recover from their injuries. Could it be that Wood has other informants on the island?
As if he could read minds, Wood had already provided the answer the moment Aokiji had such a thought.
"No need for wild guesses, it was someone from the Revolutionary Army who came directly to me to complain."
We are an arms dealer, and the Revolutionary Army is naturally one of our major clients, so it's normal for them to contact me.
Aokiji, you've probably forgotten your current stance. Our Wood Arms Company is a neutral party; we're just here to do business.
Whether it's the navy or the revolutionary army, even if they fight to the death, what does it have to do with us?
Remember that you are now an officer of our Wood Arms Company, but you have now attacked the Revolutionary Army. Are you trying to take our side and undermine our current neutrality?
"I'm giving you an order now, as the boss: if you intend to stay there and help the Navy, then don't come back. I'll be kicking you out of the company."
After saying these words, Wood didn't give Aokiji a chance to explain and hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Wood really didn't care whether Aokiji came back or not. Even if he did come back, the Revolutionary Army might not be able to defeat Fujitora and his group, since Momousagi was already heading in their direction.
If Aokiji chooses to disobey his orders and not return, that would be even better. He could then legitimately kick Aokiji out of his company, thus solving a thorny problem.
In fact, when Aokiji put down the Den Den Mushi, he was having a strong internal struggle.
The choice is between giving up the hard-won executive position at Wood Arms Company and abandoning Fujitora and the lower-ranking naval officers here.
If he chooses the latter, then all his previous sacrifices and forbearance will be for nothing.
