Since the defeat in the First Battle of Jincheng, the marshal of the Warring States who is already seventy and six has been preparing for retirement.

However, there is a huge disagreement within the Navy over the choice of the next marshal of the Navy:

Pheasant is deeply loved by his subordinates and has excellent popularity in the navy, and has been jointly recommended by a number of naval bigwigs such as Marshal of the Warring States Period and Hero Karp;

Akainu upholds absolute justice, is harsh to his subordinates, ruthless to pirates, and loyal to the world government, and although he is not very popular within the navy, he has won the favor of the top of the world government.

On the one hand, it is the election of colleagues in the Navy, and on the other hand, it is the appointment of the superior leaders...

The two generals with completely different philosophies each had their own supports, and they quarreled endlessly over the position of marshal, and they couldn't distinguish between high and low.

In the end, the long-accumulated contradictions between the two broke out completely.

Since no one would back down, Pheasant and Akainu decided to fight for the throne of the Admiral with a life-and-death duel with their fists.

So, the two of them came to Punk Hazard.

After dealing with the corrupt navy and driving out irrelevant personnel, the duel between the two is finally on the right track.

A duel between men, especially a duel with different beliefs, usually consists of three processes: concave shape, squeezing, and hand-to-hand fighting.

And Galen has just been driven away not long ago, so Pheasant and Akainu have only just come to the second process, and they haven't gotten to the point yet.

The two generals were overflowing with cold air and lava flowing, and before the official start of the battle, the land within a radius of hundreds of meters was wiped out.

The white mist steamed, and the black smoke filled the air, which made the figures of the two generals even more blurred.

In the billowing smoke, the momentum of the pheasant and the red dog climbed to their peaks, like a volcano and a glacier colliding together.

"Kuzan!"

Akainu's eyes were fierce and ruthless, and his resolute face was red by the blazing magma:

"After all these years, haven't you seen clearly?"

"It's because there are too many generals like you in the navy who don't distinguish between right and wrong, that the arrogance of the pirates will become more and more arrogant!"

"Right and wrong? Sakaski! ”

The pheasant's eyes were solemn, and when he spoke, he spit out frozen steam with a cooling effect comparable to liquid nitrogen:

"The so-called absolute justice you insist on is the real distinction between right and wrong!"

"It's like in O'Hara..."

The pheasant didn't finish his words, but the red dog understood it immediately.

The O'Hara incident nearly 20 years ago was the fuse for the Pheasant and Akainu to completely break up the confrontation:

In that incident, in order to prevent O'Hara's archaeologists from infiltrating the civilians and escaping, Akainu directly ordered the sinking of a refugee boat full of hundreds of civilians.

This kind of unscrupulous means for the sake of the task and completely annihilating human nature made the young pheasant have great doubts about the word "justice" on his back.

"Your justice is wrong!"

The pheasant's face was completely devoid of his usual laziness, and his eyes burned with the fire of faith:

"In order to accomplish your mission, you have wantonly slaughtered even the people who are supposed to be under our protection..."

"What kind of justice is the justice you are carrying!"

"Is it just to maintain the rule of the world government?"

"You know what!"

Hearing the words of the pheasant's extremely low political consciousness, Akainu's face was already full of anger:

"Protecting a small number of people is only a small righteousness, but maintaining the stability of the entire sea is a major righteousness!"

"I defend the world government because it is the only organization that can stabilize the world!"

"Suffering comes from turmoil, and if the rule of the world government is unstable, the suffering of the people will never end!"

Of course, Akainu also knows what virtues the world nobles are, and deeply dislikes their ugly faces, but he still loyally upholds the rule of the world government.

Because he always believed that stability can bring peace.

In Akainu's view, even a herd of pigs ruling the world is better than a chaotic sea with each occupying its own land.

"Kuzan!"

Akainu gave up the last persuasion to the pheasant, and the lava overflowing from his body became even hotter:

"If you can say such naïve words, it means that you are not qualified to be a naval marshal at all!"

"Needless to say, let me wake you up with my fists!"

"Naive?"

The pheasant clenched his fists, and suddenly set off a whirlpool of cold air around his body:

"Sakasky!"

"Don't underestimate my faith!"

..........................................................

At the same time, the underground experimental base of Punk Hazard.

Galen sneaked in with Caesar.

Because the red dog and the pheasant are so domineering that they are terrifying, and their senses are so sensitive that they look like monsters, Galen does not dare to blatantly run back to the island to make small movements.

If they were to discover the strange act of planting the flag, Galen didn't know what reason he had to make up to explain it.

Therefore, Galen simply returned to the island with Caesar, who was familiar with the terrain, and infiltrated the underground experimental base through a secret entrance.

Anyway, the range of action of the Debang military flag is 3,000 meters, and it can also affect the ground if it is planted in the ground.

And the size of this island is not very large, Galen only needs to plant a few flags in the right place to make the aura effect of the Debang military flag cover the whole island.

Under Caesar's guidance, Galen planted flags all the way, and finally came to an empty room filled with all kinds of metal equipment that did not know what to do, and looked like it was full of technology.

"Lord Galen!"

Caesar carefully smiled at the face:

"This is the control room of the artificial Devil Fruit raw material base."

"In terms of location, as long as you have one more flag here, your 'power of justice' will cover the entire island."

In order to save his own life, Caesar followed Galen's nonsense without any psychological barriers, and called the buff effect of the banner "the power of justice".

"Okay."

Galen nodded, and casually summoned a Debon military flag.

Then, his attention immediately turned to the most striking part of the room—

A Devil Fruit.

It lay quietly in the transparent glass enclosure in the center of the room, shimmering faintly in the warm light.

Obviously, this fruit is special.

Caesar noticed Galen's gaze and immediately showed a flattering smile:

"Lord Galen!"

"This fruit is the most special artificial devil fruit I have researched:"

"It's the dragon fruit of the animal-based phantom beast species!"

Caesar deliberately used an exaggerated tone, trying his best to show his scientific prowess in front of Galen.

"Dragon fruit?"

Galen's face immediately fell:

The dragon fruit, which allows the user to transform into the legendary Oriental dragon, sounds infinitely powerful.

But in reality, it's just a failure.

In the original book, Momonosuke ate this fruit by mistake, but it is difficult to control the effect of even transformation, and he can only transform into a dragon when he is emotional.

And the dragon that that guy turned into didn't show any strength worthy of the name of the dragon in addition to barely being able to fly, it was simply a yellow eel wearing a dragon's skin.

Galen lost interest in the Devil Fruit and glanced at Caesar with disdain:

"Your research?"

"Isn't this dragon fruit the work left behind by Dr. Vegapunk?"

"And, as far as I know..."

"This artificial Devil Fruit technology seems to be an invention of Nabegapunk, right?"

"Nonsense!"

Hearing the name of the rival, Caesar immediately became a little uncontrollable:

"Vegapunk, that fame-seeking person, how is it possible..."

"Huh?"

Galen snorted softly.

Caesar's agitated mood immediately calmed down.

"He invented it..."

Caesar blushed and admitted, and defended himself in a reluctant manner:

"However, the technology has since been developed and perfected by me."

"What kind of dragon fruit that guy researched is simply a failure."

"Compared with the failed products of Vegapunk, the artificial devil fruits I researched are of high quality, large yield, and strong effect, and the Four Emperors Kaiduo have said that they are good..."

"Alright, alright."

Galen waved his hand angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in this artificial devil fruit at all."

Galen knew very well what the artificial devil fruits Caesar had made were:

Ordinary animal-based people can freely control their transformation abilities, and when they don't use their abilities, they look the same as ordinary people.

However, those who ate the ability of Caesar's version of the knock-off goods had no way to freely control the ability of the fruit, causing their bodies to show irreversible signs of beasthood, and they became half-human, half-beast monsters.

It's just that it looks ugly after eating, and the key fruit ability obtained from it is still flawed, and the combat power it can provide is very worrying.

Galen didn't want to spend money on making such a defective product.

"Let's go!"

"When the two generals start to move, this movement will be big."

Galen stopped talking to Caesar about useless things, and turned to leave.

But before leaving, Galen couldn't help but glance at the dragon fruit:

"It's coming..."

"Take it back."

.....................................................................

The live camera cuts back to the ground.

"Sakasky!"

"Don't underestimate my faith!"

Kuzan shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder.

Although the air around him was as cold as hell, his mood at the moment was surging like fire.

Kuzan, who is usually lazy and unmotivated, finally took his beliefs 100% seriously at this moment.

Facing the Akainu roaring with the lava waves, Kuzan suddenly shot back, his fist like the wind.

"Huh?"

Kuzan frowned slightly:

He could clearly feel his fists getting faster.

How so?

Kuzan was puzzled.

When his strength reaches this level, he has almost climbed to the top of this world, and it is difficult to go further.

But in this life-and-death duel, he made an obvious breakthrough.

Don't...

Is this the power of faith?

Kuzan felt the blood boiling in his body because of his unwavering faith, and he only felt that he was full of strength from top to bottom.
