Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2465 Gangster Forces: Capone's Legion!

The atmosphere on the final day of the assessment had reached a fever pitch.

The intensity and level of conflict between general-level officers far surpass that of those between colonels.

The air was filled with the aftershocks of a violent clash of domineering forces and the acrid smell of burning elemental energy.

And that almost tangible desire for higher authority and greater power.

Outside the No. 26 Duel Arena at Army Headquarters.

The three figures, clad in black coats of justice, were particularly eye-catching.

They are Genya Shinazugawa, Giyu Tomioka, and Kyojuro Rengoku from the Demon Slayer world.

Their eyes were fixed on the fierce battle taking place inside the arena.

Lieutenant General Sanemi Shinazugawa is challenging Admiral Capone Bege.

Xuanmi clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

He just failed the assessment for the rank of lieutenant general and was stopped at the rank of major general.

Despite possessing the ability of 'Demonized Muzan', his strength has increased significantly compared to before.

But he was up against the seventh son of the Charlotte family.

Charlotte Cardantz, who honed her domineering aura and physical skills to an exceptionally formidable level.

He still felt an insurmountable gap.

Cardantz's offensive, like a storm of steel, was almost entirely based on pure power and skill.

They crushed his demonic body, leaving an unforgettable impression.

"My brother..."

Xuanmi's voice was low and filled with deep worry.

As childhood misunderstandings are resolved.

In his heart, Sanemi, though hot-tempered, was as reliable as a mountain.

But at this moment, Sanemi was clearly in a tough fight.

Giyu Tomioka, standing to the side, maintained his calm and composed expression.

But there was also a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

He had previously defeated Vice Admiral Rakuyo, the former 7th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He demonstrated to everyone his superior strength after fusing the Water Breathing True Technique with swordsmanship, Haki, and the Seven Styles.

He successfully secured the rank of lieutenant general for himself.
however.

As he continued to challenge others, he encountered the fourth son of the Charlotte family.

A Paramecia-type Heat-Heat Fruit user.

Admiral Charlotte Owen, whose Flame Breathing technique has also reached the True Dharma realm.

Their once-proud water-based offensive was ultimately defeated by the intense heat that could even evaporate the ocean.

The only uncertainty for Giyu Tomioka was whether his opponent was at the level of a general or even a higher-ranking general.

at the same time.

Kyojuro Rengoku stood upright with his arms crossed.

However, his signature loud voice was slightly lowered at this moment.

"Hmm!"

"Mr. Sanemi is going through a tough battle!"

"But only through such battles can a sharper blade be honed!"

In the morning, Kyojuro Rengoku successfully defeated the user of the Zoan-type Lion-Lion Fruit, Dangerous Type: Snow Lion Form.

'Snow Lion Lieutenant General' Gonzalo Cruz.

However, this was not enough to change his military rank.

Unless he can maintain his momentum and defeat the incumbent general who is about to challenge him.

Just like Sanemi Shinazugawa in front of me.
At this moment, Shinazugawa Sanemi was already giving it his all.

He enters the Zoan-type Insect Fruit, specifically the Rhinoceros Beetle form, in his Beast Mode.

Its body swelled to nearly four meters in length, its muscles bulged, a ferocious, thick, long horn sprouted from its forehead, and its entire body was covered with a layer of hard black carapace.

He pushed the true essence of the Breath of Wind to its limit.

The emerald green wind blades transformed into a tornado storm hundreds of meters high, sweeping across the entire area.

It is also used in conjunction with the 'Shave' and 'Illusion' techniques from the Seven Styles of Body Techniques.

His figure moved at high speed across the field, leaving behind afterimages as he unleashed a barrage of slashes.

Its blade's trajectory is extremely difficult to observe with the naked eye.

Many army officers and generals outside who specialize in kendo can tell.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's swordsmanship clearly incorporates techniques from the Zanpuken sword.

The reason for not choosing a high-speed sword, which has superior speed and power.

Because he felt he needed to make up for his lack of precision in swordsmanship.

Instead of simply making your strikes more ferocious.

Sanemi Shinazugawa did indeed think that way at one time.

But after years of training at Army Headquarters, he had to admit it.
In terms of ferocity of attack, I'm not even in the running here.

It's better to abandon extreme thinking and focus on building a solid foundation in all aspects.

However, his opponent, Capone Becky, faced the battle with composure.

He never even left the spot where he originally stood.

Thousands of burly, shadowy soldiers clad in black armor silently raised their massive black shields.

Within a radius of several hundred meters around Capone Becky, an impregnable defensive line was formed.

They withstood the tornadoes and sharp wind blades that came from all directions.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's seemingly fierce attacks were hardly able to cause any real damage to these shadowy soldiers.

The sheer sturdiness of their shadowy shields left him helpless.

The scene resembled Luffy's first battle against the biscuit soldiers.

This is one of the Teigu abilities of Capone Bege, known as 'Capone Legion'.

Heavy-armored gangsters!
This Imperial Arms is a perfectly tailored, high-quality all-black suit, leather shoes, and a fedora.

Under light, a close inspection reveals faint reflective patterns of spiderweb-like threads on the fabric.

At this moment, the Imperial Arms' abilities are activated.

These patterns are emitting a dark, purplish-red glow.

"The Godfather Shotgun!"

Becky suddenly raised the silver-black, ruggedly shaped revolver in her hand, which resembled a cannon barrel.

This is another of his 'Teigu', Godfather's Majesty: Flame Tank.

He pulled the trigger, and the muzzle instantly spat out a burst of fire, shooting out a fan-shaped stream of scorching bullets.

Cover the location of Sanemi Shinazugawa and block all possible evasion routes.

Neither storms nor wind blades along the way could stop them from moving forward.

The bullet's surface gleamed with a dark light reminiscent of Armament Haki.

[Boom boom boom boom.]

The explosions and flashes, along with the wildly spreading shockwaves, engulfed Sanemi Shinazugawa's enormous figure.

It was just a revolver, yet it produced the devastating effect of a heavy artillery barrage.

This is the power of the Imperial Arms combined with the True Technique of Flame Breathing.

Sanemi Shinazugawa could only rely on the carapace of the rhinoceros beetle and his outward-radiating domineering aura to defend himself while enduring the surging blood and qi to speed up and break out of the area.

But they had just escaped the blast radius.

Slender, agile soldiers in suits emerged from the shadows in various corners.

Some of them charged forward wielding swords and knives, while others launched sneak attacks with silenced pistols.

Gangster assassin!
Normally, Sanemi Shinazugawa wouldn't need to care at all.

The problem is that they are Teigu creations controlled by Capone Bege.

Even a small-caliber shadow bullet could be imbued with a domineering aura, capable of drilling a bloody hole in one's body.

This forced Sanemi Shinazugawa to concentrate, relying on his beast-like intuition and Observation Haki.

Identify which bullets or shadow blades are dangerous and parry them in time.

They are capable of facing near-infinite death and are completely unafraid of it. They are called 'gangster killers', but in reality, they are the Shadow Legion.

His attacks were like cutting cotton, having very little effect.

Capone Becky simply stood in the middle of the gangsters.

He would occasionally use the "Godfather's Majesty. Flame Tank" to deliver precise and deadly heavy firepower strikes to Sanemi Shinazugawa.

There's no need to worry about the 'gangster assassins' nearby who might be caught in the crossfire.
