Language can elevate one's spirit.
After successfully condensing Conqueror's Haki with his gaze, Zesi discovered that language could also enhance Conqueror's Haki.
Some special languages, in particular, have a concise and Haki effect.
For example, if Zesi were to say, "I'm going to kill you," and gather his Conqueror's Haki in his tongue and throat...
One can then use language to condense this Haki, and even launch an attack on the target.
The effect is no less than that of a focused gaze, and may even be more substantial and concrete.
Although it cannot achieve the effect of actually killing the opponent.
But it can make the other person's soul truly believe that they are about to kill them.
Even though they knew perfectly well that Zesi wouldn't kill them, it was no use.
The soul will feel this domineering killing intent most acutely.
What Zesi is saying now, though not with the same level of malice as "I'm going to kill you."
But it is also a test from the soul.
Only those who are honest and believe they are capable of doing it.
Or perhaps only those who disregard Zesi's charisma can directly answer Zesi interrogation.
In this world, there are very few people who can ignore Zesi's charisma.
Even a top-tier powerhouse like Marine Admiral couldn't completely ignore Zesi's imposing presence.
"I can!" Pedro finally answered after a long pause.
After a long while, Pipikar finally answered.
"Very good, from today onwards, you are the captains of the Fourth Division and Fifth Division!" Zesi said with satisfaction. "Any objections?" Zesi then turned to Bullet and the others for a reply. "Hehe, of course not!" "Well deserved!" "This kind of assessment is much more difficult than the usual fighting and killing!"
"I'm not surprised at all that none of them passed!" the crowd exclaimed.
" Doffy, there's news about the Vinsmoke Family!"
"Boo-hoo-hoo, oh, where is it? This is our first time working for the Azure Emperor, we have to make sure it's done perfectly!"
Doflamingo put down a few photos and said.
Some of these photos show the monsters that Bullet fused with when Devil Fruit Awakening.
Other instances show Zesi using the Thirty-Six Divine Space Strike to shatter the combined monster, Bullet.
"Hehe, the Azure Emperor Pirates are getting stronger and stronger. Not only do they have the World's Strongest, the Azure Emperor, but their vice-captain, Bullet, is probably no weaker than the Four Emperors of the New World, right?" Trebol and the others walked in and said when they saw the photo that Doflamingo had put down.
This wasn't the first time they'd seen these photos.
However, the horrific scene in the photo is still incredibly shocking no matter how many times you look at it.
"Hey, hey, hey, you should say it's our Azure Emperor Pirates. We just received news that the Azure Emperor is conducting a massive recruitment drive in the Azure Emperor Territory. It was originally supposed to last for a month, but unexpectedly, they recruited 30,000 people in just ten days, so they had to end it early. Do you know what that means?" Doflamingo said with a smile.
"Does this mean that in the future, the Azure Emperor can have a huge army whenever he needs it?" Diamante and the others said.
"That's right. What is the World Government's greatest advantage? They represent justice in this world. Because they have the support of more than 170 countries, they can mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time. Now, the Azure Emperor Pirates can do the same."
"However, it's not just that. While the Azure Emperor Territory is indeed vast within the New World, it's still quite small compared to the areas controlled by the World Government. The fact that they managed to recruit 30,000 troops in just ten days within such a 'small' territory shows how much the Azure Emperor Pirates have earned the respect of the people of the Azure Emperor Territory."
... Please give me flowers...
"Don't underestimate this recognition. You might not realize it normally, but once it's mobilized, it will be a tremendous force!" Doflamingo said with a smile.
"Hey, Doffy, you said the Azure Emperor Pirates now have 30,000 members at headquarters. So, will they expand aggressively and take over the entire New World? If so, they'll inevitably clash with the Navy and the other Four Emperors. Who do you think will win?" Trebol asked.
"Expansion is certain, but 30,000 troops are not enough to conquer the entire New World. The Azure Emperor only recruited 30,000 soldiers and then stopped, which shows that he does not want to go to war with the Navy and the Four Emperors. He is really cautious. But it is precisely because of this that I am even more optimistic about the Azure Emperor."
"Those who possess power often become arrogant and reckless, relying solely on brute force. While this may bring temporary success, such success is fragile and easily crumbles. The Azure Emperor, on the other hand, possesses both power and wisdom, gradually and meticulously eroding the New World. Only in this way can he build a great enterprise. Following him might even allow us to overthrow the World Government and take its place."
"So, we can't just do things half-heartedly when we're working for the Azure Emperor!"
"Hooray! This time I'm going to pull off something big: find the Vinsmoke Family and personally deliver this gift to the Azure Emperor."
" Doffy, the Vinsmoke Family is an old and powerful family in the North Blue, a family that once ruled the North Blue by force. They are not easy to deal with!"
"Boring, boring, boring, they're just a washed-up family. This time, I'm taking action alone. It's time for us to show some strength!" Xi.
