Chapter 2468 The Battle of Marineford Begins with You, Sakazuki!
【boom----】

The dazzling brilliance of diamonds clashed violently with the scorching flames of purgatory in the center of the arena.

It erupted with a burst of intense light and a deafening roar that caused temporary blindness and deafness.

however.

This spectacular stalemate lasted only a moment.

The disparity in strength cannot be overcome simply by burning one's inner will.

Under Joz's diamond impact, which possessed terrifying mass and speed.

Kyojuro Rengoku unleashes his ultimate slash with all his might.

Like a candle flame struck by a reef, it shattered in an instant.

The Nichirin Blade in his hand had turned crimson due to the intense heat and his will.

It let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden, and then broke in two.

"puff!"

Kyojuro was thrown into the air by the terrifying impact, like a kite with a broken string.

The large amount of blood that spurted from his mouth drew a dazzling arc in the air.

The flame in his eyes quickly dimmed; his consciousness, strained by excruciating pain and the exhaustion of his strength, had already faded into darkness.

Until it crashed heavily to the ground some distance away and stopped moving.

The outcome has been decided.

Giyu Tomioka's pupils contracted as he stood outside the arena.

He was surprised to find that Joz had no domineering aura whatsoever.

There was only a pure aura, similar to fighting spirit.

In other words, that earth-shattering collision was merely a physical force crushing.

General George showed mercy.

Otherwise, Kyojuro Rengoku would have had no chance of survival, and his body would have already exploded into a bloody mist.

At that moment, the spherical referee device floating in the air flew over and emitted a cold electronic sound.

"The victor is Admiral Joz!"

"Lieutenant General Kyojuro Rengoku, challenge failed!"

[Swish, swish, swish]

Almost simultaneously with the announcement of the results, four members of the medical team, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed into the venue like streaks of light.

This team has a rather unique composition.

There are medical ninjas whose hands are already glowing with a green light.

Behind him was a bio-alchemist carrying a medical kit.

Beside him was the Huadao Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, whose fingertips began to gleam with the cold light of acupuncture.

There was also a character with a monocle on his right eye, accompanied by a large, round, balloon-like white figure.

The doctor who looks the most ordinary.

Just as the medical ninja arrived at Rengoku Kyojuro's side.

When you squat down and place the green glowing hand on your stomach.

Big White quickly arrived using its wheels and extended its scanning arm to perform a full-body scan.

Soon, Mengmeng's electronic voice quickly reported his injury status.

"Multiple rib fractures, internal organ concussion and bleeding, severe concussion, and significantly reduced vitality."

The bio-alchemist breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kyojuro Rengoku's body was not damaged.

He then took advantage of the opportunity to have the traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Huadao skillfully apply acupuncture to him.

He deftly pried open her mouth and stuffed a high-grade Purple Butterfly Pill inside.

It didn't take long.

A faint purple glow appeared on Rengoku Kyojuro's body.

Joz walked over.

The once dazzling diamond body gradually returned to normal flesh and blood.

He watched the medical team's tense yet orderly treatment, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"I still went a bit too far," Joz thought to himself.

That impact just now seemed simple and brutal, and it didn't involve any domineering aura.

In reality, it utilized another kind of power from cultivation.

Although his life restoration has reached the third level of limb regeneration.

However, due to the power of the Diamond Fruit, the body's cellular structure is too stable, making it almost impossible to undergo high-speed friction.

Therefore, it would be impossible to cultivate the electric current propulsion created by Zefa.

Therefore.

He chose to focus on exploring the potential of life energy itself and embarked on the path of cultivating 'qi'.

The collision just now was his use of the 'burst energy' technique.

The instantaneous burst of one's own life energy further enhances the impact.

"I should have known better than to do that," George thought to himself, looking at the seriously injured and unconscious Kyojuro.

The barriers of the last dueling arena at Army Headquarters and Navy Headquarters were extinguished.

The ten-day-long assessment of the combat capabilities of officers at the rank of general and below has officially come to an end.

It was exactly 10 p.m. that night.

All officers who participated in the assessment received the assessment results notification on their personal terminals on time, issued by the Supreme Command of the PLA.

Promotions and demotions in military ranks, adjustments to positions, and relocation of troops.

The items are clearly defined, and the rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished.

Such a large and complex evaluation process was completed so efficiently.

It all comes down to Warhammer's terrifying computational and coordination capabilities.

Almost simultaneously with the release of the results.

The seven individuals—Sora, Zephyr, Tsuru, Raymond, Sengoku, Sakazuki, and Kuzan—are located in different places.

They are holding an online meeting using holographic virtual images projected by the Star Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telescope).

"You've all seen the results, haven't you?"

"Overall, this assessment has yielded significant results."

Although he was about to step down, Kong, who was still the Minister of the General Staff, spoke first, his voice as steady as ever.

Still at Naval Headquarters, Zephyr crossed his arms and said, "It's definitely much better than the previous two assessments."

"The ranks of mid-level officers have been greatly strengthened."

“Especially those Meteor Clan members, they truly are worthy of being Boros’s people.”

"Their talent and strength are beyond doubt, and the name of the fighting nation is well-deserved."

He nodded slightly and continued, "Several sons of the Charlotte family."

"Gala, Cavalette, and Bascardi have all demonstrated formidable strength befitting their reputations."

"And Newgate's 'children,' such as Whitebeard, Spidow Kiel, Cullier, Squard, and others."

"There are also a few promising talents worth mentioning,"

Marshal Raymond, who was also about to leave, dutifully added to the list.

"Bunk Ponch, who works seamlessly with a monkey as a partner."

"Ryme Jones, who is extremely skilled in Thunder Breathing and staff techniques."

"And that roar that turns into sound waves... Gabu."

"These people also performed quite well, and this time they were all promoted to lieutenant general based on their abilities."

Sengoku looked at Zefa and said, "The students sent by the Dragon Clan should be doing quite well too."

Upon hearing this, Zephyr immediately pulled up the relevant data: "Excellent."

"Dragon warriors inherently possess extremely high basic qualities."

"After consuming the Human-Human Fruit and completing their common sense education at the Dragon Academy, their adaptability and learning ability in the military exceeded expectations."

"On the army side, besides the Teostra and Lunastra that joined long ago..."

"The following were sent before the assessment: 'Narga-Kuruga', 'Thousand-Blade Dragon' Theoregimus, 'Frozen King Dragon' Doya Discatella, and 'Diablos' Diablos."

"On the Navy's side are 'Sky Comet Dragon' Balfaruk, 'Golden Dust Dragon' Galbadaora, 'Thunder Dragon' Rebidiora, and others."

"They all demonstrated strong combat capabilities and enormous growth potential during the assessment."

Kong nodded in satisfaction: "Very good!"

"The diversity and high quality of military personnel are a guarantee for the solid foundation of our world government's rule."

"The real highlight is the 'Battle of Marineford' that starts tomorrow."

At this point, he looked at Sakazuki and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's start with your match."

"After all, you only have one challenger, unlike Crocodile."

Sakazuki had been listening in silence until now, when he finally spoke, his face expressionless.

"Meleoleona Vanmilian, hopefully a decent warrior."
