Chapter 80 Unlocking New Abilities, Heat Vision

In addition to making arrangements for the Admirals, Carlos also attended to Momousagi and Ain.

Both were transferred from the front lines and officially became his personal secretaries.

One was responsible for various military affairs, while the other handled logistics and internal matters.

They had no objections to this and were even secretly pleased.

Although their time with Carlos had not been long, the trip to Wano Country had fostered subtle feelings for him. They admired his strength and, over time, a hint of affection had quietly developed in their hearts.

As time passed, the substantial military funds allocated by the World Government and the high-tech equipment promised by Vegapunk gradually arrived at Marineford.

Along with these, there were also 100,000 new recruits.

After learning about the series of benefits announced by Carlos a few days ago, everyone was stunned.

Upon further inquiry, they confirmed that everything was indeed true, and they couldn't help but feel extremely pleased with their decision to join the Marines.

Under Momousagi and Ain's supervision, the army competition proceeded smoothly.

Carlos had a lot of free time and began focusing on his own matters.

He couldn't help but wonder if it was just his imagination, but ever since dark thunder ate the Fusion Fruit, he seemed to have developed a sense of self-awareness. dark thunder frequently expressed a desire to become stronger.

Carlos knew that it wanted to "consume" Hawkeye's supreme sword, the Black Blade, to complete its evolution. He was curious to see how far dark thunder could eventually grow.

However, devouring and fusing with the Black Blade was not straightforward. The two blades were locked in a protracted struggle, and it would likely take a month or two before any result.

Carlos decided to let it be and focus more on his own development.

Due to his Kryptonian ancestry, his physical attributes had been unconsciously enhanced in all aspects. His strength, speed, and endurance were comparable to, if not surpassing, ancient Zoan species like King and Jack.

The solar energy accumulated in his body had finally reached a critical level, allowing him to enhance specific parts of his body.

After careful consideration, Carlos decided to focus all his energy on strengthening his eyes. The results were impressive.

His vision was greatly enhanced, capable of penetrating objects to a near-x-ray extent. He could even clearly see the antennae of ants from five thousand meters away.

Additionally, he gained a new superpower: "Heat Vision."

By expending physical energy, he could emit incredibly powerful laser rays from his eyes. After experimenting for several days, he successfully combined "Heat Vision" with "Amaterasu's Flame."

Now, he could melt and evaporate almost any substance in sight at will.

In the Marshal's Office:

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Enter."

A fragrant breeze swept in as Ain entered, carrying two documents and walking to the desk. Her tight brown suit accentuated her curves.

Carlos's gaze swept over her, causing Ain's pretty face to flush slightly.

"Marshal Carlos, the four-day military competition has concluded. Here is a list of outstanding personnel, complete with detailed information on each person."

"And this is the battle plan formulated by General Staff Officer Gion. Please review it."

Carlos nodded, took the document, and skimmed through it briefly, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Ghost Spider, Flying Squirrel, and other headquarters Vice Admirals did not make it to the top positions.

Aside from Fujitora, these two were still prominent.

The World Government had also recruited many strong individuals during this conscription. Their backgrounds were diverse—there were pirate hunters, generals from other kingdoms, and assassins from the dark world...

Despite their varied origins, they all had one thing in common: they were powerful.

The top ten on the list were as formidable as the Naval Headquarters Vice Admirals.

"The masters are among the people..." Carlos sighed and picked up the battle plan prepared by Momousagi.

This operation, codenamed "Cleaning Up," is straightforward.

From Upside Down Mountain to Sabaody Archipelago, the first half of the Grand Line is divided into seven routes.

As a veteran Admiral, Akainu will lead Onigumo, Doberman, and Momonga—three Vice Admirals—and 10,000 Marines to oversee three of these routes.

Green Bull and Fujitora will each command 10,000 soldiers on two routes.

The three Marine Admirals will conduct a comprehensive sweep of the first half of the Grand Line, aiming to completely eliminate all pirates and underground evil forces!

The combined power of three Admirals and eight Vice Admirals is a decisive force.

Carlos nodded in approval and continued:

"How are the preparations for the expedition going?"

Ain reached up to adjust the blue hair near her ear and said confidently:

"Don't worry. We currently have a hundred warships docked in the harbor and on standby. All necessary daily and military supplies have been arranged."

"Excellent. Have them gather in the square."

Marineford Square.

Thirty thousand Marines were arranged neatly in square formations.

Nervousness, admiration, excitement... countless emotions intertwined in their eyes.

On the high platform, Carlos surveyed the crowd.

"I'll just say a few words."

"After these past few days of selection, all of you here have distinguished yourselves from 150,000 recruits and are now the elite of the Marines!"

"I'm sure you've heard the news. I won't keep it from you—the World Government's military expenditure has arrived, totaling 200 billion Berries."

"Want it? It's simple: earn it through meritorious deeds! Not only that, you can also keep half of the treasures plundered from pirates!"

"Now it's time to prove your worth."

"Go out, eliminate those pirate scum, and spread justice throughout the world!"

"Wealth and fame await you!"

As soon as Carlos finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted from the massive crowd.

"My sword is itching for battle!"

"Thirty thousand people—what an incredible operation!"

"Haha, those pirates will definitely be terrified and flee!"

"After this mission, my brother will build a three-story villa in his hometown and marry another wife."

Fame, wealth, status...

Everything was within their grasp.

The already highly motivated sailors were eager to set sail immediately.

Carlos gave the order, and the sailors formed several columns, leaving the square with great enthusiasm and marching toward the port.

At Crescent Harbor, not far from the square,

The warships were docked quietly on the sea, connected end to end as far as the eye could see.

With the loud blare of the trumpet,

One warship after another set sail, gradually disappearing from view.

In the square, the unsuccessful soldiers watched this impressive scene with a deep sense of envy.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
