Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

After a small-scale, one-sided beating by Shen Jue, and a lesson for Smoker.

Smoker, his face bruised and swollen, felt that his Observation Haki and Armament Haki had improved even further.

He stood on the deck, looking disheveled, but the new navy men around him cast envious glances at him.

Within the new navy, being personally beaten—no, instructed—by Marshal Shen Jue is a rare opportunity.

There are quite a few strong individuals who join the new navy to become stronger and uphold Shen Jue's justice.

Princess Shirahoshi, who was originally on the verge of conflict, instead put Hina in her grasp.

Two pink-haired girls were whispering about something between girls at the other end of the deck.

He would glance at Shen Jue every now and then.

Shen Jue was at the very front of the deck.

The entire new navy fleet knew of Shen Jue's arrival.

The new naval personnel were in high spirits, brandishing their weapons on their respective warships in an attempt to get Shen Jue's attention.

Shen Jue had already boarded various warships and was having enthusiastic conversations with the soldiers and officers of the new navy.

Most of the new naval soldiers were extremely excited, their faces flushed, while a few were in tears.

As a violent institution that practices true justice, the pursuit and worship of power is very common within the new navy.

Therefore, it was only natural for the new naval soldiers to admire Shen Jue.

Furthermore, because Shen Jue treated everyone equally and was very kind to his subordinates and friends, the entire New Navy admired Shen Jue to the point of disregarding life and death.

As Shen Jue stood at the front of the deck, some images flashed before his eyes.

He unleashed his Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee the future.

"Interesting," Shen Jue chuckled softly.

"Drake, get the fleet ready."

"The Big Mom Pirates have come out in full force."

Upon hearing this, Drake, who was standing behind Shen Jue, immediately walked away quickly.

Subsequently, this new naval fleet, heading towards all nations, became busy with preparations for war.

Hina calmly directed the large number of new naval soldiers to form ranks.

The new naval fleet reacted with astonishing speed.

Less than two minutes after Shen Jue gave his order, the soldiers, who were still immersed in the excitement of the marshal's arrival, instantly switched to a different state.

The ship captains communicated their deployments via Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices), gunners took their positions, snipers climbed the masts, and ship doctors began setting up first-aid zones below deck.

The entire fleet resembled a sword slowly drawn from its sheath, its sharp edge gleaming coldly through the gaps in the scabbard.

When Drake returned to Shen Jue's side, a black dot had already appeared on the horizon.

Those black dots are magnifying at an incredible speed.

"Here I am," Shen Jue said calmly.

Hina stood on the port side of the flagship, arms crossed, brows slightly furrowed.

The white star behind her had retreated to a safe area, its pink fishtail swaying nervously.

The black dots on the sea surface have already shown their outlines.

That was Big Mom's fleet, at least three times the size of the new Marines.

Leading the way was a giant pink ship with a bow shaped like a huge cake, where creamy waves surged.

The sails were embroidered with that fearsome flag: a skull wearing a pirate hat, with knives and forks crossed behind its back.

"The old lady herself didn't come." Drake put down his binoculars, his tone tinged with regret, but more so with a calm assessment.

"Leading the way is the eldest son, Perospero, and Smoothie, one of the three generals."

"In addition, I also saw Irving's, Dafu's, and Brulee's boats."

He paused, then added, "Katakuri, one of the Three Sweet Commanders, is not here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jue's lips curled into a slight smile.

"What a pity."

He said it was a pity, but there was no trace of regret in his tone. It was more like the faint regret a hunter feels when he discovers that one of his prey is missing.

The two fleets closed the distance to each other on the outskirts of the International Sea.

The sea breeze was salty and damp, and the flags of the new navy and the four emperors faced each other across the sea, less than a few kilometers apart.

The first to speak was Perospero.

The man with the long tongue stood at the bow of the ship, tapping the deck with his candy cane. The sound, transmitted through his Observation Haki, clearly resonated throughout the entire sea.

"Shen Jue! Let's stop here!"

"Mother's wrath! The new navy cannot withstand it!"

Shen Jue walked slowly to the bow of the ship, the sea breeze gently caressing his marshal's overcoat.

He simply stood there, calmly gazing at Perospero, who was several kilometers away.

Perospero felt uneasy under his gaze, and his tongue unconsciously curled up.

"Let's leave now," Perospero tentatively suggested.

"And Mom said, if you're willing..."

"There's nothing to talk about," Shen Jue interrupted him.

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone on the opposite fleet could hear it clearly.

"You only have two choices," Shen Jue said, holding up two fingers.

"First, turn back now and tell Charlotte Linlin that the era of Treasure Kingdoms is over."

"I am not asking you to immediately commit suicide and die."

"But all pirates and administrators of Whole Cake Island must face judgment from the new Navy."

"second."

Shen Jue retracted one of her fingers.

"Let this fleet perish at sea. How many of you survive depends on your luck."

The sea was quiet for a moment.

Then, the Big Mom Pirates' fleet fell silent.

"Arrogant!"

Smoothie's cold laughter came from another warship.

The long-legged woman, one of the three generals, looked down at Shen Jue's flagship, the longsword in her hand reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

"Who do you think we are?"

"The new Fleet Admiral, Shen Jue." Perospero licked his lips, his smile turning sinister.

"We know you are strong, but this is the sea."

"Our fleet is three times the size of yours, and our military strength is five times that of yours."

"Even if you had three heads and six arms, could your new navy stop so many of us?"

He spread his arms wide, and behind him, the fleet lined up in a row, their cannons all aimed at the new navy.

"If you don't want your men to suffer heavy casualties, then leave now..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because Shen Jue moved.

No one saw how he moved.

One second he was at the bow of the ship, the next he was standing in the sky.

He walked towards Big Mom's fleet step by step as if on flat ground. His speed was not fast, but he made everyone on the other side feel an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Perospero had only ever felt this oppressive aura when his mother lost all reason and unleashed her full Conqueror's Haki.

Shen Jue hadn't even really made a move yet.

"Smoothie!" Perospero shouted.

Smoothie moved without him having to shout.

The long-legged tribe's advantage made her incredibly agile on the sea. She leaped into the sky like a bird and pounced on Shen Jue!

There are many rumors on the high seas, and Smoothie only believed half of the news that Shen Jue killed Kaido.

Relying on her physical strength and superb swordsmanship, Smoothie was determined to test Shen Jue's strength and see if he was as terrifying as rumored.

Her longsword sliced ​​through the air and slashed down at Shen Jue's head!

The sword's blade was wreathed in dense Armament Haki, tearing through the air with a sharp, piercing sound.

This sword strike is enough to split a mountain in two!

However, Shen Jue simply raised his right hand.

He gripped the sword's edge with his index finger and thumb.

Just two fingers.

Smoothie's pupils contracted sharply.
