Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2470 The First Battle at Marineford!
Finally, Raybert dropped another bombshell.

This time, his tone was full of admiration and longing.

"There's something even more powerful!"

"Yunuo!"

"That Yuno Grinberio from the Golden Dawn!"

"He has officially received the honorary title of 'Magic Emperor' and his exclusive Magic Emperor cloak!"

"And he's currently our association's only SSS-rank mage!"

"President Edward has set a limit of four 'Magic Emperor' slots in the association!"

"Yunuo is the first, and now the only one!"

"However, I heard that the elf Patley is also planning to compete for the title of Magic Emperor."

"what?"

"The Magic Emperor? SSS-rank?"

The usually composed Fagraine looked at his younger brother in surprise.

"He's the same age as you, Leo, only seventeen, right?"

"That's right!"

Leobert nodded emphatically: "You should know that even President Edward can only be rated as an SS-class mage right now!"

"The key is that the Magic Emperor's combat power is comparable to that of a military general!"

"Therefore, Yuno has handed over the leadership of the 'Golden Dawn' to Langiers Bird."

"He is also the only SS-class mage among the twelve captains."

Leobert became increasingly emotional as he spoke: "That kind of space magic, full of destructive power, is indeed terrifying."

Merleona and Fagleen were still surprised by Yuno's strength.

Their previous impression of him was still that of a regimental commander.

However, now, at the age of seventeen, he has received recognition at the level of a general.

He is undoubtedly a peerless genius among the younger generation of the Black Grass World.

But as time went by, the topic returned to tomorrow's Marineford battle.

Leobert suppressed his excitement and looked at Melio Leona with concern once again.

"Big sister, look, Yuno is so strong, she's only on par with a general."

"Uchiha Madara, who was defeated by the Hidden Sea Village during the war."

"It is said that the 'Five Shadows' over there are also comparable to military generals."

"But tomorrow you will be facing a war god who is above the general level."

"I know that my elder sister is not afraid of strong enemies, but... this is a battle that is destined to be lost!"

After hearing this, Mereoleona stood up, walked to the window, and turned her back to her brothers.

The night breeze ruffled her long, curly, fiery red hair.

His deep gaze swept over the distant Fortress of Justice, which appeared particularly majestic and imposing under the moonlight.

That was the core of the Army Headquarters' power; I imagine that Admiral Akainu was working there right now.

After a while.

Merleona's voice reached Fagraine and Leobert's ears clearly.

It still carries an unquestionable firmness and a fiery belief.

"Defeat is inevitable?"

"Perhaps. But the meaning of a battle is never just about winning or losing."

"Those who fear the strong avoid battle and choose the easier path."

"Then my flames will lose their heat, and my soul will be covered in dust."

"You are all working hard in your respective fields, bringing glory to our Vanmilian family and our ancestral world. I am very proud of you."

"And my path is to constantly challenge the peak, to use these fists, and the karmic fire within me, to measure the limits of this world!"

"Admiral Akainu. Star Core Purgatory Warrior God, what an exciting title!"

She suddenly turned around.

His face beamed with a bright and expectant smile.

The fighting spirit burning in those crimson eyes was almost tangible, like flames.

"Things have become so interesting!"

"I'm going to burn brightly in tomorrow's Marineford battle!"

"You mustn't let me down, Admiral Sakazuki!"

The night sky outside the window is vast and boundless, dotted with countless stars, as if they too are quietly waiting for dawn.

A collision of flames and lava destined to shake Army Headquarters.

The sky gradually brightens as dawn breaks, and all things awaken in this soft light.

May 11th, 8:00 AM.

RL1111 on the Red Line is the exclusive battlefield for the 'Battle of Marineford'.

This vast, desolate area is filled with traces of previous battles.

Furthermore, with the advancement and maturation of world government technology.

It has undergone special reinforcement and spatial expansion.

It is more than capable of accommodating and withstanding fierce battles between generals.

The most obvious feature is the surrounding area and the sky, where a huge protective barrier, set up in advance, presents a semi-transparent, wavy light and shadow effect.

now.

All army officers and soldiers who do not have urgent missions.

Almost all of them gathered in the rest hall of their respective camps, their eyes fixed on the virtual screens.

The air was filled with a mixture of anticipation, curiosity, and nervousness.

Battle of Marineford, Part 1!
He rose to prominence like a meteor during the entire army's combat capability assessment.

Meleo Leona Vanmilien, the "Crimson Lioness" who rose through the ranks from lieutenant colonel to general.

Challenge the current Army General 'Akainu' Sakazuki!
This duel attracted the attention of the military, especially those powerful individuals who also wielded fire as their source of power.

Kyojuro Rengoku, now fully recovered from his injuries, crossed his arms, straightened his back, and stared intently at the large screen.

Vice Admiral Dio, the 'Teostra' dragon, and Vice Admiral Nana, the 'Teostra' dragon, sat at the dining table, waiting with great interest for the battle to begin.

Another place.

Charlotte is the thirteenth son of the Charlotte family, who was born with the ability to control fire.

Lieutenant General Bascardi, who possesses Komajin (bone-human) ancestry and is of considerable size.

Dragging his long sleeves, he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and laughed:
"Akainu is 'Lava Fire,' while this new admiral is 'Magic Fire.' What an interesting duel!"

Standing beside him, Charlotte Owen glanced around expressionlessly at the officers and generals who were enthusiastically discussing the 'battle of the generals' and the 'clash of flames,' and couldn't help but think to himself.

"A bunch of naive guys, this is not an equal battle between generals at all."

“Sakazuki is a true ‘God of War’.”

no way.

Only someone with his background and strength would be qualified to know about the God of War, the God of Stars, and the Sword Saint—the pinnacle of the World Government.

Most people present thought it was just a thrilling spectacle of a rising star challenging a veteran general.

While the outcome may have a bias, it is not without suspense.

Meanwhile, at the RL1111 area center.

Mereoleona stood on this crimson earth, her long hair, similar in color to her hair, swaying gently in the cool autumn breeze.

She had changed into the Army General's Justice Coat and a set of black women's suit trousers, which outlined her powerful figure.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the silver-white cross hanging on his chest.

At this moment, Mereoleona's gaze was intense, spanning a hundred meters to lock onto the exceptionally tall and imposing figure opposite her.

Sakazuki was still wearing that standard red suit.

He was draped in a jet-black, general-level righteous coat.

A cluster of pink and white roses bloomed on her chest.

The only thing missing was the military cap he had worn for many years, because he had given it to Ace.

Sakazuki's face was as cold and unyielding as a rock; he simply stood there.

It exudes a heavy pressure, like that of a dormant volcano.

"Méleo Leona Vanmilian".

Sakazuki's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"I've reviewed your assessment results; they're very good."
