Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 333 Revolutionary Army

Uchiha Hiyu had long been prepared for the slow expansion of the Pure Land of Bliss.

He first placed the Netherworld White Bone Banner in the Pure Land of Bliss to suppress it, using the Pure Land of Bliss to slowly extract the power of this demonic artifact and seize the soul within it. At the same time, the Netherworld White Bone Banner's natural soul-summoning properties would also attract many souls to the Pure Land of Bliss.

As the carnage continued, the power of the Netherworld White Bone Banner grew stronger and stronger. Uchiha Touyu felt that he was struggling to suppress it, so he simply had the Pure Land of Elysium weaken it.

As the number of souls in the Pure Land of Bliss increases, the entire space will naturally expand, but even so, the speed will not be considered fast.

Fortunately, Uchiha Hiu's main method of expanding Elysium was actually to draw power through demonic arrays, rather than relying solely on the souls within Elysium to expand.

The World Government, now under the leadership of Uchiha Tou, sets up a formation within each country it defeats to draw in the power of Elysium and absorb its souls.

At the same time, with the help of the Pure Land of Bliss, Uchiha Touya can also release projections of himself and the Netherworld White Bone Banner. In theory, a projection with little power, after being supported by the soul within the Pure Land of Bliss, can easily slaughter the entire population of a country.

In other words, any country enveloped by the Pure Land of Bliss is already under the rule of Uchiha Hiyu, and there is no way for them to resist.

Elysium can even attract the power of Devil Fruit souls. Any Devil Fruit user who dies within the power range of Elysium will eventually have their Devil Fruit power fall into Elysium and become Uchiha Tou's collection.

With the Pure Land of Bliss, it can be said that the country occupied by Uchiha Tou could never be taken back, and it became his solid base.

Moreover, as time goes by, all sorts of Devil Fruits will gather in Uchiha Tou's hands, so it can be said that the strength of his subordinates will only become stronger and stronger.

The Grand Line, the New World, an uninhabited island where no records or coordinates have ever been left.

This is the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, which is also the world's largest armed organization opposing the World Government.

The Revolutionary Army had developed reasonably well, but it was only lukewarm. Although it had accumulated considerable strength, it was still just a drop in the ocean compared to the behemoth that is the World Government.

However, ever since Uchiha Hiu set sail and became hostile to the World Government, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. The World Government's prestige has been shaken time and time again, causing some opportunists who were originally just optimistic about the Revolutionary Army to invest more of their power in this developing force.

Not to mention, as the World Government went astray in various ways, its prestige plummeted while it created more and more enemies, leading many people to join the Revolutionary Army.

Some were driven by hatred for the World Government, some by a desire to form an alliance against its threat, and others were simply opportunists seeking to overthrow the regime... In any case, aside from being slightly weaker at the top, the Revolutionary Army's current size is in no way inferior to the Navy's in its early days.

The revolutionary army appears to be doing very well, but in reality, Dragon, as its leader, is constantly worried.

"Two more countries have been conquered by the World Government..."

Long, sitting in the conference room, looked at the map in front of him with a helpless expression on his face.

"There's nothing we can do; the difference in combat power between the two sides is just too great. I wonder how that guy named Uchiha Tou managed to create so many powerful individuals?"

"Judging from the speed at which he creates powerful beings, it's definitely not a normal method; he probably used some kind of technological means."

The one who spoke was a man wearing a crow gas mask. As he spoke, he glanced at a short man next to him.

The man wearing the raven mask is Karas, the commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army. His name is a transliteration, and its specific meaning, just like his attire, is that of a raven.

As for that short guy, he was a scientist within the Revolutionary Army—these days, even pirates have scientists, so the Revolutionary Army is no exception.

The short scientist was none other than Lindbagh, the Confederate army commander. After hearing the raven's words, he spoke with a worried expression:

"Uh...theoretically, technology that could enhance humans so quickly and on such a large scale without any side effects shouldn't exist..."

"However... judging from the behavior of those women, I have to admit that there is no other possibility besides this one."

After all... the Revolutionary Army isn't stupid. The pirate world isn't without strong women, but their numbers are overwhelmingly inferior to those of men. Yet the World Government can continuously send out female powerhouses with strength at least at the level of a Marine Vice Admiral, and each one of them is a great beauty...

If this isn't some kind of enhancement ability, then it would be strange! You have to understand that, up to now, the World Government's female army numbers around ten thousand, and it's uncertain whether the entire pirate world even has that many vice admiral-level powerhouses.

"Not only that, I suspect the World Government has also mastered some kind of brainwashing technique. Those crazy women are not only incredibly powerful, but they also have an astonishing level of faith in the World Government, or rather, in that Uchiha Tou. They're completely like brainwashed fanatics!"

Upon hearing this, the revolutionary army cadres all looked grim, clearly impressed by the female legion as well.

Not to mention, in addition to the female legion, there are also the princesses and queens sent back by the World Government to control various countries.

These seemingly weak royal family members and the beautiful women offered up only stayed with the World Government for a few days or months. By the time they returned to their own countries, they had become powerful killing machines that completely obeyed the World Government's orders.

You should know that the first thing those princesses and queens did upon returning to their countries was to slaughter all members of the royal family, except for some young and beautiful women! Among them were their parents and children, yet they showed no mercy whatsoever.

These princesses and queens then directly declared their ascension to the throne and transferred their countries to the World Government. Regardless of whether their personalities were innocent and naive, weak and kind, or ambitious, they were ruthless and decisive in these two matters.

It's impossible for them to suddenly become so powerful and completely obedient to the World Government after just two days of training! There's no other explanation besides human modification and brainwashing.

Even so-called Devil Fruits couldn't possibly have such a powerful effect. Whether it's creating tens of thousands of Marine Vice Admiral-level combatants or controlling and brainwashing tens of thousands of Marine Vice Admiral-level combatants, it has already exceeded the limits of the Devil Fruit's capabilities.

"Phew... No matter how I look at it, it seems like our chances of winning are slim! Their general hasn't even appeared yet, and we're already almost at our breaking point!"

The one who spoke was Belo Betty, the commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army. She wore a black hat and sunglasses, had short hair, and was smoking a cigarette, giving her a boss-like demeanor.

Her attire was even more daring, with an eight-quarter length shirt and tie on top, and a mini skirt and stockings on the bottom. The shirt was not buttoned at all, and her breasts were completely exposed.

However, this user of the Encouragement Fruit had no intention of inspiring anyone. Instead, her face showed anxiety and even dejection. Because of her fruit ability, this Eastern Army commander was the Revolutionary Army's high-ranking officer who had been on the front lines the longest, so she was most familiar with the current situation.

A silence fell over the many high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army. They knew very well that the "admiral" Belo Betty spoke of was not an admiral-level fighter, but rather the opposing commander-in-chief—Uchiha Tou, whose strength was far ahead of the rest of the pirate world!

"Forget about the World Government's Supreme Admiral, heh, even the lackeys under that guy who rules the World Government are beyond our capabilities!"

Hancock, Shirahoshi, Momousagi, Yamato, Nami, Vivi, Robin, Ain, Tina, Bonney, Stussy...

These girls have been transformed, possessing multiple Devil Fruit powers and formidable physical abilities. They are also able to cultivate the Human Immortal Martial Arts and Yang God Immortal Path, powerful cultivation methods far surpassing those of the One Piece world. After a few years, almost every one of them has become inhumanly strong!

Especially those women who were already quite strong or talented, they showed strength that surpassed even the original Four Emperors.

Hancock, Momousagi, and Yamato all originally possessed Conqueror's Haki. Shirahoshi was initially just a slightly larger but cowardly mermaid princess, but as a Sea King, her talent was truly astonishing. After being modified, she also awakened Conqueror's Haki, lost her cowardice, and her strength later surpassed that of the others.

These four women are the strongest in the World Government's four offensive directions. Each of them is as strong as two Marine Admirals. Together with other beautiful female officers who are no less powerful than Marine Admirals, they can suppress and defeat the Revolutionary Army in almost any of their forces.

Unfortunately, the only person in the Revolutionary Army who can be considered a top-tier fighter is their leader, Dragon. Dragon's strength is roughly equivalent to that of the three admirals of the Navy. He is not only no match for Hancock and the others, but he also has no guarantee of victory against second-tier fighters like Robin and Nami.

This gap in top-tier combat power cannot be bridged by the number of troops. After all, it's not just a small difference; the other side has more than ten times more top-tier experts!

"The main reason is that the difference in strength is too great, and Uchiha Tou didn't hide his secrets like the World Government did, which also means that the opponent is completely invincible."

"Furthermore, their control over their territory is incomparable to that of the World Government..."

Dragon sighed. Compared to the World Government's unfathomable nature, which kept all its trump cards hidden, Uchiha Tou didn't hide anything. However, in terms of raw strength, that is, she was simply too strong!

This kind of open and aboveboard, pure crushing power is the most unsolvable open strategy. If you are not as strong, you are not as strong, and there is no other way to make up for it.

Therefore, even though the Revolutionary Army's strength had greatly increased, these high-ranking officials didn't seem happy at all—the Revolutionary Army's strength had increased two or three times, while the World Government's strength had increased tenfold, making the situation even more dire.

Moreover, the previous battles between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government were essentially fought in the open, with the World Government's brutal rule leaving its member states almost completely exposed. The Revolutionary Army could easily infiltrate these member states with just a little caution.

The World Government's territory has shrunk somewhat, but it is now many times more tightly controlled than before. The rulers of various countries who were once outwardly friendly with the World Government have now been replaced by queens.

Those women were extremely loyal to Uchiha Hiu, and their searches of the Revolutionary Army were many times more ruthless. Especially after they established the Elysium Pure Land formation, they could even question the dead directly, leaving the Revolutionary Army with nowhere to hide.

Without the advantage of secrecy, the Revolutionary Army was completely at a disadvantage in direct combat and was simply unable to outlast Uchiha Tou, who had integrated the resources of the World Government!

"Many of our brothers and sisters who were infiltrating have already sacrificed their lives... This can't go on. Whether on the front lines or underground, we are at a complete disadvantage."

"Even with the support of the remaining kingdoms, and the addition of many righteous individuals who resist the World Government and Uchiha Tou's perverse policies, it's still a drop in the ocean compared to the strength of our opponents..."

"The worst part is that, given their method of rule, if the revolutionary army is truly defeated... there will be no chance of a comeback!"

As he spoke, Dragon's expression grew increasingly somber. No matter how many setbacks the Revolutionary Army had suffered, Dragon always held onto hope—that under the World Government's perverse policies, the number of rebels in this world would only increase. Even if the Revolutionary Army failed, new rebels would take up their banner until the World Government was overthrown.

However, although Uchiha Hiu's rule was just as cruel and even absurd as the World Government's, ordinary people could still survive because there were no royals acting as middlemen to withhold part of the taxes. Things like the right of first night were mainly dealt with by the royals and didn't have much to do with ordinary people.

Most importantly, his brainwashing methods gave him enough loyal subordinates and great power to control the civilians below, thus forming a dystopian closed loop.

If the revolutionary army is wiped out this time, there may never be any more rebels in the future!
