The Press Conference Ends

At some point, Kaido had also transformed into his Human-Beast Form. His perfect form was no longer suitable for combat; his current Human-Beast Form was his most powerful form.

Its body was covered in bluish-green scales, it held a spiked club in its hand, and its body was in the air, with flames beneath its feet serving as a support.

"Thunder Bagua!"

"Repulsive force!"

Faced with Kaido's Thunder Bagua, Frieda's expression changed. Kaido's Thunder Bagua was too fast; his repulsive force had only just been gathered when the spiked club was already in front of him.

In his astonished gaze, a terrifying blow struck, and he instinctively raised his arms to block in front of his chest.

With a "crack," the sound of bones breaking was heard. Kaido's Thunder Bagua, with its powerful Haki, directly broke through Frieda's defenses.

Frieda's arm was severed by Kaido's Thunder Bagua, and his intact hand supported his broken arm.

His body flew backward like a cannonball, making a series of booming sounds as it cut through the air.

This is also Frieda's ability: to use repulsive force to reduce the pressure he has to bear while stabilizing his body.

Frieda grabbed his broken arm with his intact hand, squeezed hard, and with a "crack," the broken bone was put back in place. He swung his arm up and down to loosen his muscles and bones, ready to continue fighting.

Those who can reach this level of strength are people who have undergone rigorous training and possess a strong will. Even monsters must train hard, otherwise it is difficult to reach the peak.

Moreover, Frieda came from CP0 and underwent even more rigorous training.

Using Life Return, he healed his arm injury, then rushed forward to rejoin the battle.

Borsalino's laser, when it struck Kaido, only left a tiny red dot, indicating that his laser was effective. However, the red dot disappeared after only a short while, suggesting that Borsalino's attack was ineffective.

The two of them are just there to hold things back and provide cover. The main attackers are Garp and Zephyr; only their punches can break through Kaido's defenses and inflict damage on Kaido.

They had no confidence in capturing Kaido now held the title of "Strongest Creature." To capture Kaido, assuming Kaido didn't escape, it would take at least several days and nights of fierce fighting.

Their current task is to stall for time and prevent Kaido from causing trouble; they just need to hold out until the press conference ends.

The press conference, which was expected to be brief, didn't need to be long, but that's precisely why it was so important.

Immediately after Frieda was knocked away, Garp appeared next to Kaido and suddenly punched Kaido squarely in the face, sending Kaido flying.

Meanwhile, Zephyr appeared in the air in front of the direction Kaido had flown off to, delivering another punch. With his agile movements and powerful physical skills, the combined attack of the two of them exerted a visible suppression on Kaido.

But Kaido wasn't going to back down and kept looking for a counterattack, "Thunder Bagua!"

With Kaido driven out of the skies above Marineford and surrounded by Capzef and his crew, order was restored to the venue. Sengoku continued his speech, introducing the newly established departments. Although violent tremors occasionally emanated from the sky, they could not affect them.

The battle itself isn't urgent; it's already being documented. Right now, the most important thing is the Navy's press conference, the message the Navy is conveying to the world. The Navy is quite sincere, offering a public apology.

Although most people have seen footage of Keizer, the Navy, concerned about its own image, finds it difficult to get a public apology from them.

Keizer's approach sounds good, but it's actually very difficult to implement, and many people don't believe the Navy can do it.

The execution of Vice Admiral Makudi may involve some other methods, such as handling it secretly, or finding a scapegoat through connections.

After all, for a member of the Navy to execute a Navy officer, especially Marine Vice Admiral, would undoubtedly be a disgrace to the Navy. In addition, given that Makudi was a high-ranking officer in the Navy, he must have had some connections.

Coupled with the public apology, this has already shown the world the Navy's sincerity.

As for the establishment of this organization, although an outline has been drawn up, it is still incomplete and construction has not yet begun; it is just talk. It is unclear whether the Navy has such determination, but it seems that it does.

Today, some people have regained their confidence in the navy, while others have stopped hating it. After all, human nature is complex and competitive; you might hate someone today and want to kill them, but the next day, you might forgive them.

Some emotional fluctuations are uncontrollable and can erupt suddenly, but they will subside once you calm down a little.

After all, most of the navy in this ocean serves justice, and only a portion of the scourge is corrupt. Of course, there are many navy personnel who have made mistakes. After all, people are selfish, and it is impossible for everyone to selflessly dedicate themselves and be willing to sacrifice for justice. That is impossible.

Most people are in it for themselves, and most marines are just going with the flow, treating the navy as a job because they get paid.

"Finally, if any naval personnel commit illegal acts, the public can report or file complaints. In this case, the Inspection Department will intervene, and other naval personnel can only cooperate and cannot interfere."

"Reports can also be made among members of the Navy, and we will establish a special reward mechanism."

"The Inspection Department will be established in about two weeks. At that time, the Navy's internal regulations will be finalized and made public. Please look forward to it."

"Therefore, we hope that everyone can trust the Navy, trust in justice. The Navy is changing, and the mistakes that have happened in the past will not happen again. Please give the Navy a chance." Sengoku took his bow very sincerely.

The Night Pirates.

"It seems that the Sengoku are quite capable; they managed to stabilize the situation like this." Rediat couldn't help but sigh, a look of approval flashing in his eyes.

"Heh, how could it be so fast? It only looks stable on the surface. But once something goes wrong, or something is suddenly exposed, the Navy will be in a real bind. Although the division of power in the Inspection Department is clear, there are still some things that are not used to at first. To operate normally and establish branches, it needs people, funds, and time." Teach shook his head with a smile. "The department has been established, but this is not something that can be done overnight. It requires the accumulation of time. The Navy is also aware that it will take at least a few years. The best thing to do during this period is to catch some Navy personnel with serious misconduct and then announce it."

"However, this should improve the navy's cohesion and strength, right?" Rediat frowned, seemingly somewhat worried.

"What's wrong? Are you having second thoughts? Didn't we anticipate this?" Teach asked with a smile. "So what if the Navy gets stronger? The pirates are getting stronger too. The Navy's growth will create a balance with the pirates. That's a few years from now. By then, our empire will be established, our power will be built, and the balance will bring stability. Stability promotes development. That will be our time to develop."

"Indeed, I was mistaken." Rediat smiled, narrowing his eyes. "This is balance, but balance within chaos, stability within chaos. However, such stability is not strong; it will be completely shattered given the right opportunity."

"That's right, chaos is chaos. There's no such thing as true balance. If any fulcrum is lost, it will collapse and fall. But that era hasn't arrived yet, and it's only in the next few years." Teach pondered, smiling, his eyes gleaming.

"Oh? Could it be..." Rediat raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, he recalled the information he had gathered about recent events at sea, "The Navy, the Shichibukai of the Sea, the Sea Emperor."

The Shichibukai are a secret within the World Government, but it's not really a secret; information has already leaked out, and plans are being rapidly formulated. It's said that the Shichibukai wield considerable power.

Doflamingo was definitely behind this. Teach told Doflamingo to bring the Shichibukai, and with the pressure from the Navy and the World Government now, this is to be expected.

"That's right. We need to find a balance among the forces. The nature of the sea is chaotic, and that can't be changed. So we need to maintain a balance among the forces. The Navy is weaker than the pirates as a whole, so we need a third force in the middle," Teach explained.

"The Navy, there should be four or five Sea Emperors, and seven Great Pirate. I don't think they can compare to the Navy and the Sea Emperor." Rediat didn't believe it, but he also saw it clearly. "This balance is fragile. The Sea Emperor can't unite. That's why this kind of bond has formed."

"But this person is truly talented. Who came up with such an idea? I don't believe pirates would cooperate willingly. Rather than finding seven Great Pirate, it would be more credible to find seven strong individuals from the common people."

"They probably believe that transactions based on mutual benefit are more reliable, and that it can also weaken the overall strength of the pirates."

Teach and Rediat were discussing things when the Navy's press conference officially ended. No, it wasn't over yet, because a major battle was still raging.

Kaido of the Beasts, who invaded midway, has not yet left and is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Navy. Facing these four powerful Marines, especially two of them who are the Daimyo Marine heroes "Iron Fist" Garp and "Black Arm" Zephyr, Kaido is undoubtedly being suppressed.

Using the flaming clouds as footholds, Kaido, wielding his spiked club, continuously used Thunder Bagua, which had become a basic attack. After fighting for a while, Borsalino and Frieda stopped participating in the battle; their attacks were ineffective, or rather, negligible. However, it wasn't that they didn't have stronger moves, but there was no need for them.

The combined strength of Zephyr and Garp made it difficult for them to participate, as all three were masters of physical combat, while Borsalino and Frieda were far inferior.

Frieda's repulsive force was completely shattered by Kaido of the Beasts's Thunder Bagua, proving utterly ineffective. In terms of destructive power, Thunder Bagua far surpassed Frederick's repulsive force.

As for Borsalino's moves, they were ineffective. Borsalino's powerful physique alone left Borsalino somewhat helpless. However, Borsalino never fought head-on or head-on. He also had the idea of not wanting to fight. He would rather stay out of the fight and not fight at all. It would be better to keep things quiet.

The only slight regret was not having a cup of tea or a steaming cup of coffee.

In terms of strength, Kaido is undoubtedly more powerful, but that doesn't mean he has greater destructive power. Every punch Garp Kaido at Kaido causes him pain. That's the power of Iron Fist Garp; it makes him feel that Garp's fist seems indestructible and possesses destructive power.

"Hey, let's each take a step back, Kaido. You should leave. The press conference is over. There's no point in you staying here any longer." Garp looked at Kaido, his fierce eyes filled with a somewhat manic smile. Kaido's morale was rising; it seemed Kaido was getting excited, which left Garp feeling helpless.

"Who said that? Then kill me, Garp!" Kaido shouted excitedly, "Let's have a great battle!"

The terrifying spiked club crackling with lightning swung, and Garp also threw out his fist, knowing that Kaido wouldn't give up until Kaido was completely defeated.

However, Kaido is a major headache for them. They can't kill him, and in the end, not only can they not imprison him, they also suffer huge losses. Several prison ships have already been destroyed by Kaido.

Even if Kaido were given a second Devil Fruit, it wouldn't kill Kaido. The power of the second Devil Fruit would be forced out of Kaido's body, and he would be reborn somewhere else.

Moreover, this battle is being followed by many people, and as the representative of the Navy, we must deliver a strong performance; otherwise, it will affect today's Marine Headquarters press conference.

Garp sighed and looked at Zephyr not far away. Zephyr looked much older now, with several wrinkles on his face, a consequence of burning his life force.

However, Zephyr did not make a mistake. The two outstanding naval cadets rescued during the Sabaody Archipelago incident have already demonstrated their talent and are growing rapidly.

Their future potential already surpasses that of Vice Admiral. Becoming Admiral is not easy, but becoming Admiral Candidate is no problem. This is the future of the navy.

Garp and Zephyr exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then charged at Kaido together, launching a two-on-one brawl.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, with Zephyr and Garp working together to suppress Kaido two days and two nights.

Just as Kaido was about to lose his fighting ability, a fiery slash that pierced the air forced Zephyr and Garp back. The next moment, a huge Pteranodon appeared, grabbed Kaido, and quickly flew away.
