Chapter 77: Fortis Kingdom's higher-ups - Army Department

The explanation from Ars left everyone speechless. They finally learned how terrifying the Fortis Kingdom was. If only the previously mentioned higher-ups, if one is in a kingdom. That kingdom will be safe from all kinds of threats. The Fortis Kingdom, on the other hand, had a large number of them, not to mention the higher-ups who would be introduced at this time.

Elizabello II, Hancock, and Neptune were currently in the meeting room. The three of them feel that their decision to join the Fortis Kingdom and forget the threat from the previous world government was the right one.

At this moment, after coming out of this meeting room, they felt very confident. Not a single power dared to threaten the territory of their kingdom. While Hancock and the others were ecstatic, all of the world's major powers were speechless in the face of the number of people wielding terrifying levels of power in the Fortis Kingdom.

Even Gorosei's side at this time out say anything. Just the people from the Palace Guard Department alone were enough to destroy the entire Army they had, even the Marines. But right now, it's not only the Royal Palace Guard Department but the Intelligence Department, Navy Department, and Army Department that are ready to guard the Fortis Kingdom and prepare to attack anyone who dares to fight against it.

Doflamingo, who was currently watching with his gaze, became even crazier than before. Doflamingo has even begun to devise plans to make the kingdom he leads join the Fortis Kingdom, even if he has to subdue himself. He will.

The first high-ranking image for the Department of the Army appears. Everyone was shocked by the figure of a gorgeous woman with yellow hair in a bun. The woman was wearing iron armor and holding a very beautiful sword in front of her. The sword was plunged into the ground.

"Swordsman again?" exclaimed one of the spectators in the Ryugu Kingdom.

All the swordsmen, even Mihawk, instantly stirred their interest at the sight of a female swordsman.

"The first woman you see in the current picture for the Army Department is the leader. Her name is Artoria Pendragon. She is an Army General and as you can see, she is also a swordsman. Her strength is on par with the previous Vice Admiral Ulquiorra"

"On par with Vice Admiral Ulquiorra!" exclaimed one of the spectators in the Prodence Kingdom with a face full of surprise.

"Equal to Vice Admiral Ulquiorra... Doesn't that imply his power...stronger than eagle eyes?"

"If it were stronger... That means Eagle Eyes is currently ranked fifth?" The rest of the audience in the Prodence Kingdom exclaimed.

"Eagle Eyes is in fifth place? This is shocking~" Kizaru was even surprised by this. Although there hasn't been a duel between Eagle Eyes and the swordsman shown before. However, by now everyone could have already imagined that Eagle Eyes would lose. Ars, in particular, said it directly. They have a high sense of trust in the words of Ars.

"Arara~ Fifth place?" I wonder how the Eagle Eyes will react. "I'm sure he must be watching this show, right?" Aokiji muttered with interest.

The picture finally continues and displays a man in a tight blue cloth with blue hair. The guy stood with a smirk on his face, holding a blood-red spear in his right hand.

"The next person is the Deputy General of the Army. His name is Cu Chulainn. He was a very powerful spearman. Its power is equal to the previously seen Artoria Pendragon"

"Equal?"

Ars's words again shocked everyone. With the appearance of two more people. That meant the number of people with the strength level of a Sea Emperor had increased in the Fortis Kingdom.

The image is then resumed. There was not much response regarding Cu Chulainn's introduction. Although there was a feeling of surprise, It was natural for someone to be surprised when someone with the same level of strength as the Emperor of the Sea appeared.

When the next image appears, The faces of all the spectators immediately become strange. Because what showed up next was a young woman. The woman had short brown hair and was currently smiling.

"Another woman?"

"This… Is this a higher-up too?"

"Don't take it lightly" Sengoku said seriously. "Did you guys forget the previous one? When we were introduced to Admiral Tatsumaki, we also underestimated her because of her appearance. The possibility that this woman also possesses a terrifying power is terrifying. There's no way King Fortis would give the post of Deputy General to a young woman who doesn't have any power"

Many people have the same thoughts as Sengoku. No one dared underestimate the woman who appeared.

"The last high-ranking officer for Army Departments. She was known as Deputy General Maple. Even though she had a body that was still like a child's. However, make no mistake. She is similar to Admiral Tatsumaki. She experienced a decline in physical growth. Her age is the same as ours" Ars said calmly and continued, "Vice General Maple has powerful strength. However, it is different from the other high-ranking officers of the Fortis Kingdom, whose main focus attacks. Maple's strength is more focused on defense"

"Defense?" Joz was immediately intrigued by this.

Joz is known as the diamond man. He is said to have the strongest defense in this world due to his ability to manipulate his body to turn into a diamond.

"Wororor!~ Does anyone else specialize in defense? I'm interested in whose defense is stronger. Me or her?" Kaidou asked while grinning excitedly.

"Of course you are, Kaidou-san," Jack said proudly, "You are the strongest being in this world. That mere woman? She doesn't deserve to be mentioned"

The King and Queen who were there were silent and didn't say anything.

"Mamamamama… a strong defense? I'm interested. Can she withstand my full attack?" Big Mom asked with a grin.

"I am also interested, Mama," Prometheus said with a smile. "I wonder if she can survive my fire attack"

"Don't forget me too" Zeus added.

"Many of you may be wondering about, the level of defensive power that Deputy General Maple possesses. Well, I'll give an example. If Maple is confronted by someone, Well, suppose an Admiral... We'll take Admiral Kizaru as an example"

"I?" Kizaru, who heard this immediately, sat up straight.

"If Deputy General Maple is confronted by Admiral Kizaru, I can guarantee it. Even though Kizaru used his Devil Fruit ability at full power. It's still not enough to break the defense of Deputy General Maple" Ars said calmly.

"How could it be?!" The previously calm Kizaru immediately replied with a face full of disbelief.

It wasn't just him right now who was shocked by the information. Everyone watching was shocked by the information. Everyone knew how strong a Marine Admiral was. Just one person, if they used all their strength, could've destroyed an island very easily. However, now there is someone. That person was not a man with big muscles.

Rather a woman who appeared to have no strength at all could withstand a full blow from an admiral without taking any damage. Although this is only through words from Ars, there is no evidence whatsoever. However, no one believed that this was a fabricated lie, especially since Maple had been assigned to the Army Department and held the position of Deputy General there. This meant that Maple herself had the power to help her sit in that position, and it wasn't a joke made by Ars.

After all, everyone was also convinced that Ars couldn't possibly make a joke at a big event like this. Only a fool would do that.

"Okay. The higher-ups who were in the battle division section finally finished. We will go into the section of the higher-ups who are related to the document department and others. These higher-ups wouldn't focus on the battle. However, they were more focused on the development flow of the Fortis kingdom. However, even so, There were also several higher-ups whose strength was on par with Ulquiorra's and the others. I hope you can look forward to it"

Ars's words instantly made everyone fall silent again, especially Gorosei. They previously thought that the higher-ups, who possessed terrifying combat power, were finished. However, they did not expect that there was more that had not been introduced.

"Unlucky! How many strong people are on their side?" Masato said furiously, as he was filled with fear.

"This kingdom…" Rayleigh was watching and said, "They are truly a frightening kingdom" Rayleigh muttered, "I guess... It's not bad to apply for a job there"

"Is there anything else?" Mihawk muttered under his breath, "I hope... There are still more swordsmen out there"

"Is there anything else? This is getting more and more interesting..." Doflamingo said it with an excited look.

"How many strong people are on their side?" Crocodile, who was watching, was also now full of cold sweat. He could not have expected that the Fortis Kingdom would have so many people with terrifying powers there.

"This kingdom…" Sengoku couldn't even say anything.

"We're lucky they're not pirates" Garp, who was usually calm, immediately said solemnly, "If they become pirates... I can't guarantee it. There's a power that can destroy them... Even if we unite together... It's impossible to destroy them"

"Yeah…" Tsuru nodded and said, "In the future...We can't provoke them... Even if the world government asks us to attack... We'd better never do it"

Except for Whitebeard, all the Emperors of the Sea, as well as the Revolutionary Army, were stunned by Ars' words. They had all now come to a decision together. The decision was never to provoke the Fortis Kingdom. Even Kaidou and Big Mom love war and are not afraid of anything. They had one thought in their heads.

Never provoke the Fortis Kingdom!

But it was just a note in their minds. as long as they get the swords that the Fortis Kingdom is currently looking for. They will, for sure. They were only doing it this time because their strength was weak. If their power becomes stronger when it comes from Big Mom and Kaidou's personalities. They will be happy to provoke the Fortis Kingdom, especially with the various benefits they can get when they rule the Fortis Kingdom.

It wasn't just the two of them who had this thought. The world government agrees. As long as they get weapons from three types of weapons, namely Zanpakuto, Noble Phantasm, and Ignition. Also, they can get Pluto's ancient weapon designs. They would not hold back from attacking the Fortis Kingdom and taking everything they had.

But what a shame!

Everything they imagined would be a dream to them. But no matter how hard they try, They can never do what they want. Because they searched as long as they could, but the strength of the Fortis Kingdom was increasing day by day compared to before.

If they attack now. They still have a chance to win.

However, what a shame!

They had been manipulated by Ars this time. They had now assumed that the higher-ups of the Fortis Kingdom were all in the kingdom. Even though the officials who were attending at this time were not all present, Not even a quarter of the higher-ups were there now.

They are fooled by their assumptions.

The explanation from Ars left everyone speechless. They finally learned how terrifying the Fortis Kingdom was. If only the previously mentioned higher-ups, if one is in a kingdom. That kingdom will be safe from all kinds of threats. The Fortis Kingdom, on the other hand, had a large number of them, not to mention the higher-ups who would be introduced at this time.
