"Are we still going to ignore those news reports?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had become Wang Hao's full-time secretary, looked puzzled as he placed a stack of recent newspapers on Wang Hao's desk.
The World Government has been at it for the past few years. Ever since Luffy set off again four years ago and the Air Force launched a full-scale attack on the World Government, the World Government has been constantly using the media to smear the Air Force, and the Air Force's Fleet Admiral has been a key target.
With numerous media outlets smearing him, this man has been portrayed as an ambitious and ruthless tyrant who attempts to overthrow the World Government and rule the world, even causing some within the Air Force to waver.
"Same old rule, ignore those things. We can use their actions to test and eliminate those disloyal individuals within our ranks."
Wang Hao, standing by the window looking down at the Pirate King planet, then replied.
In recent years, the World Tree has made significant progress, growing to a height of two million miles, with its canopy reaching out into Space, allowing it to look down over a large portion of the planet.
He didn't care at all about the media reports from the World Government, and even planned to borrow their power.
Although the Air Force has grown rapidly in recent years, far surpassing the Navy in the past, it has also become somewhat mixed in quality, with some corrupt officials and people with ulterior motives inevitably emerging within its ranks.
He needs to seize this opportunity to eliminate these individuals so that he can unite all forces and launch a final battle against the World Government.
"Sometimes I even doubt the veracity of those reports!"
Taking a few steps forward, Vice Admiral Tsuru said something that seemed to have a deeper meaning.
As this man's first love, and having spent decades together, she believed she knew him very well. But ever since the Sengoku ordered layoffs, this man changed, as if he had become a completely different person.
In the past, she would have been certain that the media reports hosted by the World Government were pure slander and nonsense, but now, facing this man, she dared not make that assertion.
Looking at this man's actions over the years, a careful consideration reveals that every step he has taken has been meticulously planned, especially the Summit War.
Even the conflict between the Navy and the World Government back then seemed to be secretly manipulated by this man. He appeared to be giving the Navy many cultivation techniques to make it stronger, but in reality, he was forcing the World Government to take action against the increasingly powerful Navy, thereby forcing the Navy to make a choice.
The final result clearly showed that this man became the ultimate winner, gaining access to almost the entire elite force of the navy.
"It's half true and half false!"
Wang Hao replied nonchalantly, having never intended to hide this question from anyone, especially not from his predecessor's first love.
He knew this woman's character well; even if he were truly as the media reported by the World Government claimed, she would still stand firmly by his side.
This is a truly trustworthy person!
"You know what the true nature of our navy was back then. That sense of justice was narrow, serving only a small group of people, and not close to the vast majority of the people."
Kuzan, Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Dragon were all students I had high hopes for, but all four of them began to question the Navy's justice. Sakazuki became increasingly extreme, advocating Absolute Justice.
Kuzan initially championed a passionate sense of justice, but after the Ohara Incident, his justice became lazy and indifferent. As for Kizaru, he never believed in the Navy's so-called justice from the very beginning.
Dragon was utterly disillusioned with the Navy's sense of justice and left to form the Revolutionary Army.
I don't want this tainted justice to continue; a navy like that has no future.
Therefore, the original plan was formulated to remove the Navy from the fold of the World Government, restore its independence, and allow it to truly bear the banner of justice...
As Wang Hao spoke, several figures silently appeared to the side. They were Sengoku Garp and others, their faces filled with emotion and complexity.
Honestly, since the Navy transferred to the Air Force, their sense of justice has indeed become purer.
Even if this man's actions weren't entirely selfless, so what?
" Zephyr, all the old forces have been concentrated in the latter half of the New World, and we have completed the encirclement. We can now begin the final battle!"
After a long silence, Sengoku spoke, his face showing a resolute expression.
The future of their Air Force, and the future of the world, depends on this battle!
"I'll leave the World Government and those old forces to you. I'll deal with Imu's hiding behind the scenes."
Standing with his hands behind his back, Wang Hao said indifferently.
He never took the World Government seriously, even when they had cultivated tens of thousands of top-tier powerhouses comparable to Garp in the early stages.
Those so-called top experts are obviously created through forced cultivation; their combat strength is incomparable to that of experts who have truly achieved their level through arduous training.
What's even more fatal is that the level of power that is created is basically fixed; it's impossible for them to break through that level and reach the Heaven Realm stage.
On the Air Force side, with the spread of Magnetic Field Martial Dao, as long as one is willing to work hard and has decent aptitude, one can basically cultivate to the level of Admiral, and those who are slightly better can reach the initial stage of Garp.
As for the true geniuses, they can basically all reach the Heaven Realm and become true elites in the Air Force.
Aside from being suppressed by tens of thousands of top experts from the World Government in the first two years, they have since turned the tables and suppressed the World Government. Now, they have suppressed the old forces around the world who are dissatisfied with their Air Force, along with the World Government, in the latter half of the New World.
It is foreseeable that the World Government and all old forces, who are already at a complete disadvantage, will perish, and the future belongs to their Air Force!
He doesn't need to worry about the World Government; Sengoku and the others will handle it. His real opponents are Imu, who has always been hiding behind the scenes, and the Heavenly Mandate of this universe.
If he weren't concerned with calculating Heavenly Mandate, he could have killed Imu long ago, and now the time to reap the rewards has finally come.
Without delay, he flashed out of the Air Force headquarters and flew towards the World Government's headquarters on the other side of the planet.
Because it was in the vacuum environment of Space, there was no air resistance, so the speed was extremely fast, and it did not take long to reach the airspace above the Reverse Mountain.
Sengoku and his men followed closely behind, arriving at the front lines to lead their troops in a decisive battle in the latter half of the New World.
Upon arriving above Reverse Mountain, Wang Hao didn't waste any words. He directly unleashed a Kamehameha Wave, blasting it down and shattering the newly built holy land of the World Government along with Reverse Mountain below.
The Five Elders of the World Government were also taken aback by Wang Hao's sudden and decisive attack. Before they could even react, they were blasted into dust.
Just then, the World Government was holding a meeting to gather the leaders of all the forces that had been compressed into the latter half of the New World to discuss how to deal with the Air Force's offensive, and Wang Hao wiped them all out in one fell swoop.
Without these powerful figures leading the way, it's easy to imagine the fragility of their forces; it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated by the Air Force led by Sengoku and others.
Of course, not everyone escaped. The Five Elders and Red Hair, among others, were incredibly powerful, and their Observation Haki's ability to Future Sight gave them a little time to react, allowing them to barely escape unscathed.
Ignoring the Five Elders and the others who were frantically fleeing, Wang Hao glanced around, reached out and grabbed a spot in space ahead, tearing open a rift.
Inside is a man-made space where Imu has always been hiding behind the scenes, is hiding.
Wang Hao stepped into that space, and not long after he entered, a beautiful purple figure rushed in as well—it was none other than the long-unseen Snake Princess Hancock.
"You really know how to enjoy life!"
Stepping inside, Wang Hao glanced at the environment and couldn't help but admire Imu's taste for luxury. He had decorated the place lavishly, while priceless treasures were carelessly piled up here like trash.
He suddenly stopped, glanced back, a strange smile playing on his lips, and then continued walking.
This space is vast, spanning millions of miles in circumference. At its very center lies a luxurious palace covering an area of tens of thousands of miles, where Imu and the origin of the universe reside.
"Since you've come to visit, it would be impolite not to bring a small gift!"
Tilting his head to examine it, Wang Hao immediately unleashed Kamehameha Wave.
Perhaps Imu was too arrogant, or perhaps he had absolute confidence in the seclusion of this space, and failed to set up any protective measures, which allowed Wang Hao's Kamehameha Wave to hit him squarely.
Imu, who was sitting on the throne in the palace, was stunned by the Kamehameha Wave that suddenly came crashing in. Because he was at a critical stage in refining the origin of the universe, he could not dodge and took the hit head-on.
"Boom..."
A terrifying burst of destructive energy erupted instantly, destroying the entire luxurious palace and sending shockwaves raging throughout the space.
It's you!
The space rippled like water, and Imu emerged from it, his disheveled figure staring at Wang Hao with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
Although he had never met Wang Hao, he had seen his videos. After all, the man's performance in the past few years had been so amazing that he couldn't help but take a look at them despite his busy schedule.
Therefore, he recognized the man's identity immediately, and his anger and murderous intent surged uncontrollably within him.
He was about to completely refine the will of the universe, but that last moment forced him to stop. Although it wasn't a complete failure, it would take at least a hundred years to completely refine the will of the universe again.
How could he not be furious at having his ascension to godhood delayed by a hundred years?
" Imu, that's your name, right? How was my gift? Are you satisfied?"
Wang Hao asked jokingly.
He is currently at the Celestial Person Realm level, which is indeed much weaker than someone like Imu, who is at the Celestial Person Realm Peak. However, cultivation level is one thing, and it is not the same as strength.
He had basically figured it out: this guy's cultivation was almost entirely derived from refining the will of the universe. It was hard to say how much of this power, achieved with the help of external forces, he could actually unleash!
In comparison, his own strength was cultivated bit by bit through hard work, with an extremely solid foundation, enabling him to unleash his full power, or even exceed his limits.
So if a fight really broke out, he was confident he could beat this guy to a pulp.
Unfortunately, his real enemy wasn't this guy.
