Chapter 123 the Revolutionary Army's Test- Huang Mu's First Arrival
[Revolutionary Army Baldigo]
In Baldigo's dim conference room, Dorag's fingers tapped lightly on the world financial distribution map, and the Golden City's mark was circled in red.
"Tezoro's Golden City is one of the economic lifelines of the World Government."
His voice was low and cold. "If we can cut off this funding chain, or... make it work for us."
Sabo stood up, the shadow under his hat obscuring his sharp eyes.
"I'll go."
He said briefly, "Tesoro hates Celestial Dragons. This hatred may be our breakthrough."
Koala looked up worriedly. "But that man... is a lunatic."
Sabo's lips curled slightly. "Crazy people are often easier to use than smart people."
Three days later——
Under the dome inlaid with diamonds and gold, Sabo, dressed in a sophisticated white suit and using the alias "Montoya", walked leisurely in the bizarre golden casino.
In the luxurious VIP room, Tesoro was leaning on the golden throne, his cold golden eyes reflected in the scarlet wine.
Sabo just opened his mouth to state his purpose: "I am here to discuss cooperation with the Revolutionary Army-"
"Revolutionary Army?"
Tezulo slowly stood up and looked down at Sabo condescendingly, his extremely handsome face now filled with strong disdain.
"A beggar who can't even afford a decent gold chain is worthy of discussing cooperation with me?"
He walked down the golden stairs step by step, gold powder flowed like tides around his feet, and every step seemed to be stepping on the pinnacle of wealth in the world.
"You revolutionary army keep mumbling about 'freedom and equality' and 'overthrowing the world government'..."
He sneered, flicked his finger casually, and a pure gold coin accurately hit the slave cage in the casino.
"But what have you truly changed? How many Baileys are your 'ideals' worth? Can you afford the floor tiles for this VIP room?"
Sabo's expression darkened slightly, his fists clenched slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Tezzolo, we are not here to beg."
He said slowly, "We are here to cooperate."
Tezulo laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"cooperate?!"
"What do you revolutionary army have? Slogans? Ideals? Or those broken ships that are about to fall apart?!"
He leaned over Sabo, his golden eyes filled with contempt.
"Listen, kid."
"There are only two forces in this world that are worthy of respect: money and the power to truly change everything."
"You have neither money nor enough fists..."
He sighed lightly, his tone full of utter contempt: "A pathetic and ridiculous poor man's dream."
Sabo's breathing hitched slightly, and at that moment, his fists were clenched white.
"What a pity."
He said softly, "I thought Mr. Tezulo would be interested in 'overthrowing the Celestial Dragons.'"
Tezulo's pupils shrank slightly, but soon his smile became more ferocious.
"Get out."
He said coldly, "Before I decide to hang your head at the city gate."
Sabo said nothing more and turned towards the door.
Just as he was about to step out of the VIP room, Tesoro's voice came again -
"Oh, right."
He chuckled and hooked his finger. The monitoring Den Den Mushi in Sabo's suit pocket was suddenly covered with gold powder and suffocated to death.
"Next time, don't waste my time with these little toys."
After Sabo left, Tezulo leaned back on the throne, picked up the wine glass, and gently shook it.
"Rogge..., you are the dragon slayer who can change this world."
He closed his eyes and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Those revolutionary beggars are not worthy of sitting on this throne."
————
Just as Rogge was heading for the Golden City, Huangmu stood in front of the gate of the G5 base with his pupils slightly contracted.
The surface of this steel fortress, constructed from superalloy, is riddled with bullet holes, and above the main gate is a sign that reads "Trespassers will die" written in the blood of New World Pirates.
The eyes of the Marine soldiers standing guard were as sharp as knives, and each of them exuded the murderous aura unique to elite soldiers who had experienced many battles.
"This is... Xuanlin Admiral's G5?"
Huangmu straightened his back unconsciously, and his Vice Admiral cloak was rustling in the salty sea breeze.
With the sound of gears turning, the twenty-meter-thick alloy door slowly opened.
"The newcomer the boss was talking about is you!"
Rhett strode over wearing a cape with his achievements written all over it.
Suddenly, lightning struck from the sky. Enel, legs crossed, hovered in mid-air. "I wonder if it can withstand this."
The light of a cigar lit up from the shadows. Shiryu came from the direction of the training ground, blowing smoke rings, and the famous sword "Thunderstorm" at her waist hummed in its sheath.
Farther away, Ain was teaching the recruit how to swing a sword, Binz's plants were growing wildly at the edge of the training ground, and the white mist of Smoker in Luo's ROOM area appeared and disappeared.
"Should we prepare a G5 welcoming ceremony for him?" Enel grinned.
"I agree!" Rhett laughed.
A confused Huangmu was carried into the G5 training ground by two people, and everyone was watching.
"Seniors, do we really have to do this?" Huang Mu shouted.
"Hahaha, all newcomers are like this!"
Leiter patted his shoulder and said, "Pick one!"
Aramaki's gaze swept over Enel, Leiter, Shiryu, Ain, Binz, Luo, and Smoker, and finally stopped on Shiryu.
The former Impel Down warden gave a sinister smile. "A wise choice... I haven't even tasted the fruit yet."
Huang Mu grinned: "I can already sense your strong desire to fight!"
The blazing sun filled the square, and the air was filled with a strong scent of Haki.
The vast training ground had now become a true battlefield. All the G-5 soldiers retreated in unison, their faces filled with barely concealed excitement and anticipation.
——A true showdown between top powerhouses is about to break out!
Aramaki slowly untied his cloak, revealing his upper body as strong as steel. His skin had a metallic luster under the cover of Armament Haki.
His arms were as strong as iron pillars, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented fighting spirit.
"Thank you for your guidance, Shiryu-senpai!"
Before he finished speaking, Shiryu's figure had disappeared from the spot, with only the cigar smoke still slowly dissipating.
"Swish!"
Huangmu became alert instantly, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up.
His observation Haki warned him frantically that the attack was within reach!
"Sensen Wood Armor!"
Aramaki crossed his arms, his skin instantly turned into wood, and the attached Armament Haki was as indestructible as black iron!
"clang--!"
Shiryu's "Thunderstorm" long sword slashed fiercely on the black wooden armor, but was blocked!
"oh?"
Shiryu spun in mid-air, and her figure vanished into nothingness.
The shadow under Huangmu's feet suddenly twisted, and Shiryu's figure suddenly flashed from the darkness. The "Thunderstorm" blade was wrapped with dark red blood and pierced Huangmu's throat!
"Sensen Giant Wood Wall!"
With a loud bang, the ground exploded and dozens of giant trees broke out of the ground, instantly building a giant wooden shield around Huangmu, which was indestructible!
"Puff!"
The Thunder Blade, with its blood-red Haki that could tear through everything, pierced through the wooden wall, but Aramaki had already leaped into the air, forming seals with his hands, and shouted loudly—
"Sensen Tianshenmu!"
The sky was as dark as dusk, and the entire training ground seemed to be covered by endless giant trees.
Thousands of sharp wooden spears turned into a violent storm, falling from the sky, carrying devastating oppression, directly covering the entire battlefield!
Shiryu stood still, slowly exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and suddenly his body expanded, transforming into a huge blood-red bat-like beast. With a spread of his huge wings, it covered the sky and the sun!
"Bat Fruit·Mythical Beast·Vampire Form——Blood Wings·Slash!"
The blood wings fluttered wildly, and a huge arc-shaped dark red sword energy swept across the sky like a blood moon!
"Boom—!"
All the giant wooden spears were torn into pieces in an instant, and the aftermath of the blood-colored sword energy cut off half of the observation platform in the training ground!
Aramaki rolled to the ground, the fighting spirit in his eyes becoming more and more fierce: "As expected of Impel Down's 'Rain Shiryu'!"
Shiryu regained his human form, and dark red liquid dripped from the blade of "Thunderstorm" - it was the sap that oozed from the wooden spear he had cut off, which he actually absorbed at this moment to restore his strength!
"Your blood... no, your 'sap', tastes good." He licked the blade, baring his fangs.
Huangmu laughed: "Then give me some more!"
"Sensen·Growing Wildly!"
The ground of the entire training ground shook violently, and countless vines, giant trees, and thorns broke out of the ground and wrapped around Shiryu like living things!
Shiryu's eyes turned cold, and the "Thunderstorm" blade wrapped around Haki, and suddenly swung out -
"Blood Moon Slash!"
A dark red arc-shaped slash swept across the entire field, and all the plants withered instantly, as if their vitality had been drained!
Aramaki's pupils shrank: "A slash that absorbs vitality?!"
Shiryu sneered without saying anything, and suddenly his figure flashed, and the "Thunderstorm" sword light reappeared, heading straight for Huangmu's throat!
"The forbidden hatred of Sensen, the tree man has arrived!"
Huang Mu suddenly knelt down and pressed the ground with his hands!
"boom--!"
The entire earth shook violently, and a giant tree man tens of meters tall rose from the ground. His body was like a giant vine tower made of steel, his arms were as thick as mountains, and his fists condensed into huge tree fist prints!
"Sen Sen - Giant Fist Shocks the Sky!"
The tree man smashed down with his right fist, bringing up a huge gust of wind, like a meteor falling to the ground, aiming directly at Shiryu!
Shiryu snorted coldly, transformed into a vampire, spread his wings, and held the "Thunderstorm" long sword across his chest, and blood-colored energy condensed crazily.
A blood-red beam of light descended from the sky, like a divine punishment, and directly pierced through the giant tree fist mark!
"boom--!"
The upper body of the giant tree man exploded into countless scattered wood chips, and the entire training ground began to shake violently again.
Huangmu crossed his hands and covered his body with black wooden armor again, forcibly blocking the aftermath, but his chest was already Bloodline Madara Madara.
Shiryu's figure disappeared again, and the next moment he was standing in front of Aramaki, with the "Thunderstorm" blade pointing directly at Aramaki's throat.
The whole audience was silent.
The air seemed to freeze.
Huangmu grinned and slowly raised his hands: "I give up."
Shiryu put away his knife coldly, lit a cigar with one hand, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Newcomer, you are very good!"
Leiter and Enel walked forward, smiled at each other, and applauded at the same time.
Lei Te laughed heartily. "Aramaki, not bad, you actually managed to survive so many attacks from Shiryu!"
Enel leaned against his scepter and said lazily, "Even though we lost in the end, this guy's defense is really annoying."
"Welcome to the G-5."
Aramaki laughed, wiped the bloodline from the corner of his mouth, and responded loudly:
"I will follow the orders of Admiral Xuanlin—with absolute justice, I will cleanse the sea of all filth!"
