After leaving Koza, the members of the Revolutionary Army's Falcon Squad did not linger. They continued flying out of the Grand Line in groups.
Strangely enough, birds were born with an innate ability to distinguish east, west, south, and north. Whether it was based on magnetic fields or memory, scientists had yet to explain exactly why they possessed this ability. But thanks to it, Falcon-Falcon Fruit users could tell directions without needing a Grand Line compass, and could identify where the Grand Line ended.
During the previous month of experiments and field training, they had even been able to sense the location of the Calm Belt.
Birds were extremely sensitive to wind. They received information about the weather long before humans could sense it.
Humidity, breezes, and cloud cover could all convey information to birds that humans could not receive.
By integrating all that information, birds could easily avoid storms in advance.
That was precisely why the abilities of Falcon-type Devil Fruits were so astonishing—far better than Leo and the others had imagined.
The Revolutionary Army had now adjusted its entire production capacity to a 4:1:1 ratio, greatly increasing the output of Falcon-Falcon Fruits.
That was the advantage of controlling industrialization. There was no need to depend on the weather for food; they only needed to adjust production capacity according to their needs.
Over the past month, the Falcon users had not merely experimented with and familiarized themselves with their Devil Fruits. They had also undergone training in various formations and tactics.
For instance, dive-bombing tactics. Since they could reach speeds of 389 kilometers per hour, their talons, combined with that velocity, could inflict immensely devastating damage.
However, they were ultimately too small as individuals. They only had one chance to strike an enemy accurately, and if the enemy seized
