Make Skypieans into an Angel Tribe!

The battle between 'Nine-Tails White Fox' Red Lotus and 'Admiral Akainu' Sakazuki can truly be called an epic battle.

This was not only the most exhilarating battle since the former fought against the Supreme Teigu controlled by the First Emperor a thousand years ago.

This was also the first all-out battle the latter had fought since the World Government opened the Star Gate.

The two sides fought from afternoon until night, and then from night until day.

Then the setting sun once again watched as this storm shattered snow-capped mountains, cracked permafrost, turned lava into rivers, and unleashed a raging blizzard as fierce as a tiger.

The 'divine war,' which seemed poised to overturn the entire world, vanished into the seemingly violently shaking horizon, taking all the light with it.

Night and starlight descend once more.

However, the battlefield was not diminished by this.

Those snow-capped mountains, which had somehow transformed into volcanoes, continuously spewed forth large amounts of lava, forming lava lakes that flowed freely across the land, while also causing the entire area surrounding Sakazuki to burst into Huoguang.

The northern region.

From the tips of its raging Red Lotus eyes and tail, streaks of azure light shone brightly, staining the night sky and starlight above its head with a bewitching, ethereal blue.

At the same time.

The frost and snow it spews also carry this peculiar blue glow.

It will quickly dissipate within minutes of landing, turning into very ordinary ice and snow.

Sakazuki had already noticed something amiss with these strange blue lights.

Previously, when Red Lotus's fox tails, carrying this blue light, struck her elementalized lava body for the first time...

He discovered that it produced an effect similar to Armament Haki, where it could touch a solid object.

This caused him to suffer a slight loss shortly after their first encounter.

When Sakazuki began to prioritize using his Observation Haki's ability to Future Sight, he would preemptively split the area to be attacked to avoid damage.

Or, occasionally, Emission Armament Haki to block a fox tail attack from a distance.

Only now can it be so clearly suppressed by this large, ferocious fox that claims to be a god.

However, this also made Sakazuki realize a very important problem.

That is, there also exists something similar to Haki in Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

It is a special energy that can counter elemental attacks that strike the body of Logia Fruit user.

He kept this discovery deep in his heart, thinking that after dealing with this big fox, he would report it to the commander-in-chief so that the entire army would take it seriously.

Especially those with Logia abilities and mid-to-high-ranking officers who possess Haki power.

At the same time.

Sakazuki's battle, which has been raging for almost three days and whose duration is still unknown, has also drawn close attention from high-ranking officials in various departments on the Sea Star Homeworld.

This was because it was the first time they had encountered such a powerful Otherworld being.

Within the Authority Room of the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Topman Saint Topman Warcury asked in a deep voice to Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, who was sitting next to him, "This big fox has the strength of Admiral, hasn't he?"

"Um."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro glanced at the three gazes directed at him and nodded expressionlessly.

As for Shepard X Shepherd Ju Peter Saint, he was one of only two people present who possessed combat abilities.

There was no need to ask Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, and then the latter explained in a deep voice.

"Sakazuki's strength is truly worthy of the title of Army General. This big fox has managed to fight him to this extent, so he also has the combat strength of Admiral. However, we'll have to wait for the outcome of their battle to see just how strong he really is."

Topman, Saint Topman Warcury, and the other two nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later.

Marcus Saint Mars, with his two exaggeratedly long legs, stood with his hands in his pockets.

He looked at the Nine-Tails white fox and the Three-Headed Hellhound still locked in a fierce battle on the virtual screen with a face full of emotion.

"This should be the super Danger Beasts that Imu mentioned in his intelligence report."

"Since this great fox possesses the strength of Admiral, it means that the other super- Danger Beasts likely also have Admiral strength. In that case, this Teigu World is unexpectedly powerful!"

Jaygarcia Saint Saturn nodded in agreement.

"The 'Divine Dragon' of the Shenwa Island Country, the 'Suiryu' whose whereabouts in the sea are unknown, and the 'flying dragon' Tyrande, who can adapt to any environment and evolve her physical functions."

"There's also ' Destaguru, who may already be dead and controlled by the Teigu 'March of the Dead.' In addition, there's a Supreme Teigu belonging to an Imperial family member."

"Therefore, the Teigu World may contain at least five beings whose combat strength is comparable to that of our Admiral!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter, who had been silent all along, shook his head as if he did not quite agree.

"The precognitive information bestowed by Lord Imu clearly states that these super- Danger Beasts also have significant differences in strength."

"For example, that 'Destaguru,' if it was really easily slaughtered by the Empire and turned into a so-called corpse puppet, it means that its own strength wasn't very strong."

Jaygarcia Saint Saturn was not angered by the rebuttal; he simply nodded calmly.

"Regardless of the circumstances, we need to take this Teigu World seriously."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro said solemnly, "I will have the High Command send Garp and Kizaru, who are still on the mainland, over there later, along with Aokiji, who is staying in the Giant World Aokiji."

"With this, including Kaido who will recover soon and Bullet who has reached the initial level of Admiral, we will have six Admiral- level fighters in the Teigu World."

At this moment Topman Saint Topman Warcury looked at him. "Crocodile, where's Aramaki?"

"Crocodile is currently stationed in the Canberra Continent of the Giant World, managing various military affairs there. He seems to have a talent for this and enjoys doing it very much."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro recalled the various reports that had been submitted by the High Command.

"Ever since his defeat to Kaido in the 'Paramount War,' Aramaki has been staying at the Army Headquarters on the Japanese mainland to train in Physical Arts and Haki. It is said that he has even become friends with the Navy's new Admiral, 'Fujitora.'"

"I see."

Topman Saint Topman Warcury nodded, then asked another question.

"What about that Lunaria Tribe Kaido brought to the Air Force Headquarters? He seems quite strong too. Didn't you say he had the potential to become Admiral?"

But the one who answered him was Marcus Saint Mars.

"Jhin, he was invited by Dr. Fritz to go to the Biochemical Research Institute in Impel Down."

"What?"

Topman Saint Topman Warcury looked at the other person in surprise. "He agreed? Shouldn't he be very averse to places where experiments are conducted?"

"Dr. Fritz agreed to create a female Lunaria Tribe so that Jhin could gradually restore the Lunaria Tribe population through normal reproduction, and made an agreement with him that he could periodically extract cells for experiments."

Marcus Saint Mars laughed.

"Oh----"

The other four Satori.

This means they're giving Jhin a wife from their own race. That's not surprising, since even Jhin wants to revive the Lunaria Tribe, right?

Jaygarcia Saint Saturn asked curiously, "So what does the Biochemical Research Institute want with his cells for?"

"Um"

Marcus Saint Mars pondered for a moment with a strange expression.

"In the report that Dean Fritz handed me, he said that they wanted to develop something that would allow people to grow a pair of real wings to fly, such as turning the Skypieans into real Angel."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro asked, "Why not just clone the warriors of the Lunaria Tribe?"

"They said it was possible, but they preferred to see Angel with pure white wings appear in the Sea Star sky, and it's said that Vegapunk strongly supported this idea."

Marcus Saint Mars reluctantly spread his palms.

"These guys."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro immediately frowned. "Are you wasting so much of our funding and resources on this mess?"

"Lord Imu contacted me the day before yesterday, saying he also wanted to see the Skypieans transform into Angel."

"Well--"

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro's face stiffened for a moment, then he switched expressions at lightning speed, nodding repeatedly and revealing a happy smile.

"The Angel of Baiyu are indeed quite good. Do you need any funding over there? I can provide some military funds to support you!"
