Could a single pill grant someone strength approaching that of Admiral?
The expressions of the naval officers present changed.
He looked at the scarlet capsule on the table, his face filled with disbelief.
The Admiral of the Marine Headquarters are hailed as one of the three major combat forces, a milestone pursued by every naval officer, and a role model for many new recruits.
Upon joining the Marine Headquarters, everyone aspires to reach the rank of Admiral.
However, those who can become Marine Admiral are extremely rare within the entire Marine Headquarters.
In particular, the emergence of the current Three Admirals has raised the bar for strength to a new level.
This deters many people.
However, Akainu is now telling them that this Devil's Medicine can directly boost a person's strength to a level approaching that of Admiral, or even Admiral.
Does this mean that the three irreplaceable naval combat capabilities can be mass-produced?
According to CP0, there are fifty Devil's Medicine in this glass bottle.
There were at least a dozen Marine Vice Admiral and even Admiral Candidate present.
If these dozen or so individuals all possess Devil Fruit abilities and have taken this Devil's Medicine, awakening the demons within them...
Does this mean that the Marine Headquarters can suddenly unleash the combat power of a dozen or so Marine Admiral?
Most importantly, Vice Admiral and Admiral Candidate can drastically increase their strength through this Devil's Medicine.
So, what level of power would Marine Admiral reach after taking the Devil's Medicine?
If this force were concentrated on the high seas, the power of the Marine Headquarters would be unprecedented!
Upon realizing this, everyone's gaze turned to the Devil's Medicine on the table, and their eyes burned with desire.
No one would refuse such a shortcut that can instantly elevate someone to the level of Admiral.
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Sengoku's expression darkened slightly.
"As expected of the Five Elders, their psychological warfare tactics are truly catching people off guard."
"This Devil's Medicine alone could probably tempt many people and significantly reduce the estrangement that the Marine Headquarters had built up against the World Government."
"However, I have no right to interfere with how this medicine is handled. You can leave this mess to Akainu!"
These words immediately drew everyone's attention to Akainu.
During this period, the reputation and strength of the Marine Headquarters have been waning.
If we can use the Devil's Medicine to restore the prestige of the Marine Headquarters.
Many people would agree.
Akainu's face darkened instantly. Looking at Sengoku, Sengoku was determined to be a hands-off manager, he remained silent for a moment before speaking coldly.
"Let's put aside the matter of the Devil's Medicine for now. The most important thing right now is to find out as soon as possible what happened between Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin. We must keep a close watch on them and absolutely cannot let them implicate our Marine Headquarters or cause anything to happen that catches us off guard."
"Pass down the order: assemble the Buster Call forces. Sengoku and Garp, you two will personally lead the teams. You will have decision-making authority if necessary."
"The remaining personnel will all remain at Marine Headquarters. An additional 50,000 troops will be urgently mobilized from other bases and stationed at Marine Headquarters to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."
A series of commands were issued in an orderly manner.
Sengoku silently stood up and said.
" Garp, let's go. I've been a bit uneasy myself, worried that something might happen at Marine Headquarters."
"However, Akainu has gathered 50,000 troops at Marine Headquarters and left all the admirals there. For the foreseeable future, Marine Headquarters will be virtually impregnable."
"I think that no matter which of the Four Emperors' factions dares to attack the Marine Headquarters, they won't be able to take down this tough nut to crack in a short time."
"This puts my and Garp's minds at ease a lot."
Akainu was somewhat taken aback by this praise from the old Fleet Admiral, and his expression froze for a moment.
Nodding in agreement, he said, " Sengoku, don't worry. I really don't have much confidence in this Devil's Medicine."
"However, if it really comes to the final moment, in order to have the power to protect Marine Headquarters, this thing will also go all out."
"I will definitely die before Marine Headquarters."
The naval officers all wore solemn expressions, especially after hearing Akainu's words, which added a chilling atmosphere to the scene.
After all, the sea before us is no longer the old era of three major powers vying for supremacy.
Instead, it collapsed step by step, like a new era of wild horses breaking free.
Who could have predicted that this deadly battle from the Four Emperors would come so suddenly?
If they wake up the next day and are told that the Four Emperors have stormed the gates of Marine Headquarters.
They would believe that too.
"Hmm!" Sengoku glanced back at Akainu, gave a casual reply, and then quickly turned and left.
He had only taken two or three steps when the voice of the Sengoku came.
" Akainu, I never thought your blockhead would suddenly become so adaptable. Did Bai Yu chop off your head?"
"If that's really the case, let Bai Yu do more chopping next time; that would better fit my image of Fleet Admiral..."
The soft voice instantly broke the tense atmosphere in the council hall.
Akainu's brimming ambition vanished in an instant, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched involuntarily.
Originally, he was planning to secretly rejoice at the rare opportunity to gain the respect of the Sengoku.
I never imagined that this matter could be related to Bai Yu.
According to the Sengoku period...
Is this Fleet Admiral was cut down?
However, the thought that he had indeed not been cut by Bai Yu Shao made Akainu's stiff expression ease slightly.
Looking at the Devil's Medicine laid out on the table, he fell into silence.
A sense of impending doom washed over me.
The coming period is likely to be turbulent!
On the other hand, within the New World.
On a deserted island, the Red Force, belonging solely to the Red Hair Pirates, is anchored at the shore.
Red-Haired Shanks was sitting around the campfire, gulping down drinks.
After he finished his drink in one gulp, he looked up at the sea.
A small coffin, its contents illuminated by candles, slowly sails in on the wind.
Looking at his long-lost old friend, Shanks couldn't help but smile.
" Mihawk, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Without your support, I wouldn't dare go to the Totto Land to join the fun."
As longtime friends and rivals in swordsmanship, Red-Haired Shanks and Hawk-Eye's relationship can definitely be described as that of comrades.
Otherwise, who would have the right to order around a former World's Greatest Swordsman who doesn't even give face to the World Government and acts alone?
One sentence was enough to send Hawk-Eye all the way to this godforsaken place.
However, looking at the grinning Red-Haired, Dracule Mihawk remained as indifferent as ever.
" Red-Haired, I came here because you said you'd tell me the world's biggest secret. That's why I ran to this godforsaken place. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, watch out, I'll chop you up..."
