Marinford Square.

After the moment of silence, the navy soldiers still stood tall and looked at the man on the platform quietly.

"Don't crowd! Don't crowd!"

Ajin was instantly surrounded by reporters' cameras.

“Your Excellency the Marshal, Your Excellency the Marshal…ah ba ah ba…”

"Everyone..."

Seeing everyone's attitude, Ajin felt helpless as he was afraid he would not be able to leave without saying a few words. He could only secretly look at the manuscript he had prepared in advance.

"Today, I was officially promoted to Admiral of the Navy. This should be a very happy day, but in fact, I feel very heavy at the moment, because we are now standing on the battlefield of a war that happened not long ago, on this land where countless navy soldiers were injured and bled."

"..."

"As the Admiral of the Navy, every time I hear people call this era the Great Pirate Era, I know that I have a great responsibility!"

"Your Excellency Marshal, regarding the group of people that appeared during the Battle of Marineford..."

"The battle between justice and evil never stops! But I always believe that justice will eventually defeat evil! As long as all our navy works together, nothing can stop us from moving forward!"

"Your Excellency Marshal, what do you think about the God Valley incident that we talked about that day..."

"Next, our navy will meet every challenge with firm belief and fearless courage, bring the pirates to justice, and let the light of justice shine throughout the sea."

No matter what questions the reporters asked, Ajin just continued to say what he had prepared and directly turned on the read and reply mode.

"Today, on behalf of the Navy, I am making a declaration of justice to the world: The Navy will always stand on the side of justice and safeguard the peace and order of the sea. No matter how great the difficulties and challenges we face, we will continue to move forward unswervingly until justice is served and peace is achieved!"

"May the light of justice dispel all darkness and illuminate the entire ocean! Justice will prevail! The navy will prevail!"

After Ajin finished speaking, he saluted all the naval officers in the audience. Immediately, all the naval officers on the scene raised their arms and shouted, erupting in a thunderous roar that completely drowned out all the noise.

"Justice will prevail! The Navy will prevail!"

"Justice will prevail! The Navy will prevail!"

...

Calm belt

An island infested with ferocious beasts.

“See that tree up ahead?”

An old man with long silver hair pointed at a big tree in front of him with a white and fat trunk, whose overall shape looked like a white radish, and asked the young man next to him.

"Yeah! I see! This tree looks really strange!"

Luffy nodded, walked forward and looked at the giant radish curiously.

"The area around this tree is the only safe zone on this island. You must remember this."

"Safe place?"

"That's right!"

Rayleigh began the introduction.

"There were humans on this island before, but they failed to survive the natural selection. Now there are only you and me. The only rule of this island is that only the strong survive."

"Wow! That's really fun. I can smell the adventure! Uncle Rayleigh!"

Luffy said excitedly.

Rayleigh narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised the corners of his mouth and began to pretend to be cool.

"Hehehe, among the beasts on this island, there are probably about 500 that you cannot defeat with your current strength!"

"What? Five hundred? How is that possible? How did you know that, Uncle Rayleigh?"

"Cough cough."

Rayleigh was very satisfied with Luffy's question and said proudly.

"This is called Observation Haki, and it's one of the abilities you need to master in the next two years!"

"Domineering?"

Luffy repeated it stupidly, feeling as if he had heard this word many times before.

"Crack, click, click!"

As the two were talking, a red-skinned elephant rushed out from the woods. Compared with ordinary elephants, this red-skinned elephant was several times bigger and stronger. It rushed forward, knocking down and crushing all the trees in its way. It felt like the whole ground was shaking as it ran.

"Boom!"

Rayleigh, who had anticipated this, deliberately turned his back to the red elephant and continued to speak calmly.

"Aura, momentum, and deterrence! These are things that everyone is born with, but most people cannot detect their existence, or cannot use them even if they work hard for a lifetime. Believing in them is also a kind of strength!"

"Hey! Danger! Uncle Rayleigh, there's an elephant behind you!"

The ignored elephant roared angrily to the sky and swung its thick trunk to try to kill the old man.

"Danger! Second Gear!"

The naive Luffy had no idea that the other party was just showing off, so he immediately switched to Gear 2 and rushed forward.

"Look at me! Rubber rubber, JET pistol!"

"Boom!"

Luffy punched the elephant on the head, but the power was just like tickling the opponent, and the red elephant hit him with his nose and sent him flying.

"Damn it! What a strong elephant! Not only is it incredibly strong, but it's also so fast!"

Luffy looked surprised, and Rayleigh was very satisfied that it was his turn to show off again!

"It's dangerous! Uncle Rayleigh!"

"Watch out Luffy, there are usually two types of Haki, depending on their use."

Rayleigh simply closed his eyes and pretended to be great.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Is the elephant going to attack my head from the right with its trunk now?"

"Whoosh!"

Luffy was full of curiosity. The red-skinned elephant actually swung its trunk from the right to attack as Rayleigh said!

"Boom!"

The elephant's trunk missed and a cloud of dust flew up. The red elephant did not stop attacking, but used the flying sand as a cover to swing its trunk several times in a row! However, Rayleigh dodged them all without exception.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"This...this is!"

Luffy's eyes widened in surprise.

"Being able to strongly sense the enemy's aura, determine the number of enemies, their strength, and judge their moves, this is Observation Haki!"

"Hoohoho!"

The red-skinned elephant that was being fooled let out an angry roar, then raised its front legs high and used the Alistar Trample on the hateful human in front of it!

"Overhead! Danger! Uncle Rayleigh!"

Luffy shouted anxiously, and the emotional value was very well given!

Rayleigh calmly adjusted his hair and said with a smile.

"Look carefully, Luffy. What I'm going to demonstrate next is Armament Haki! It's like an invisible armor! It can make your fists harder, and thus increase your attack power!"

"boom!"

Rayleigh pushed out with one palm, not only holding up the thick elephant leg, but also knocking the red-skinned elephant flying!

"Boom!"

The poor red elephant was thrown dozens of meters away.

Rayleigh also took a look, turned around and saw Luffy was stunned, he smiled with satisfaction and continued.

"in addition…"

"Boom!"

Rayleigh walked up and gave Luffy a slap on the head.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts! I ate the rubber fruit, why does it hurt so much?"

"Haha, this is the most important function of Armament Haki. It can be used to fight against Devil Fruit users. Even the elementalized body of an almost invincible natural user can be captured by Armament Haki!"

"I see!"

Luffy nodded in understanding.
