Chapter 486: New Abilities for the Giant Gods!
Inside the Empty Hall.
One could see seven Giants, all around twenty meters tall, wearing blood-patterned Golden Armor and White Cloaks, holding their respective Golden Weapons, lined up in a row and half-kneeling on the Red Carpet.
Despite this, it did not make this Main Hall feel cramped in the slightest; instead, it appeared even more spacious.
In front of this group of 'Giant God Soldiers' was a triple-tiered platform.
At the top of the platform, a gold and red spire-shaped Throne stood there. On the Throne, Im, wearing a White Robe with gold trim, was using those cold Ripple Eyes to look down upon them.
One could see four strangely shaped Devil Fruits slowly rotating in the air around him, just like the relationship between Satellites and Planets.
"Greetings, Lord Imu!"
All the 'Giant God Soldiers' shouted in unison while lowering their massive Heads.
"I am prepared to bestow these four Devil Fruits upon four of you, and at the same time, I must tell you that from now on, all 'Giant God Soldiers' must possess Devil Fruit Abilities, because the Strength of the Giant Tribe alone is still far too weak."
Im spoke cold, ruthless words, without the slightest regard for the Giants' feelings of unwillingness, even emphasizing the words "too weak" twice.
Inside the Main Hall, the Kuja Guards standing on both sides looked at the 'Giant God Soldiers' with some envy. For these Female Warriors from Amazon Lily, Devil Fruits were good things.
Or rather, in their eyes, anything that could make them Strong was good.
And the four Ubuyashiki sisters standing on either side of the Steps had curious looks in their eyes. They had naturally already heard of this magical thing called Devil Fruit.
However, they also heard that ordinary Otherworlders shouldn't eat this thing carelessly, otherwise the consequences would be quite severe, comparable to how Father was when he was 'Cursed' before.
"First is Surtur."
"Here!"
Hearing Lord Imu call his Name, Surtur, who was originally an Elder of the Elbaf Kingdom and had the Epithet 'Fire Giant', quickly lifted the Golden Giant Sword in his hand, stood up, and responded.
Immediately after, one saw a Devil Fruit that was entirely fiery red, with Spark-like spiral patterns on its surface, fly down from the platform to in front of him, slowly rotating on its own axis.
"Surtur, Giant God, this is the Logia System Flame-Flame Fruit. It allows the Ability User's Body to turn into Flame or create Flame, but be aware, it is a lower-tier Fruit compared to the Logia System Mag-Mag Fruit."
Stussy on the side narrated the Data/Files she had already memorized, then said, "In a moment, someone will deliver the Development Data/Files of past Flame-Flame Fruit Ability Users to your residence."
Everyone was greatly shocked upon hearing this. Even Saul, who was the Commander of the Giant God Soldiers and had already eaten a Mythical Zoan, was moved.
They didn't expect that Lord Imu would actually take out a Logia System Devil Fruit.
Although Zoan Mythical Beast Types are rarer than Logia System, anyone who knows a little about Devil Fruits knows that the Logia System is publicly recognized as the strongest of the three systems!
"Eat it."
Im, high above, calmly looked down at Surtur and issued the Order.
The Flame-Flame Fruit.
This Devil Fruit was too famous in his 'Previous Life'. In terms of popularity, perhaps even the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, jokingly called the strongest Logia System, was slightly inferior.
However, this Devil Fruit at the current Time was actually not difficult to find.
Because it had a very clear location in Ace's 'Official Novel'.
That is, in the East Blue, near the Goa Kingdom, an uninhabited Island named Sixis, and it had two extremely obvious characteristics.
One, emerald green shallow sea, Two, a strange Sea Current that could drag surrounding objects towards the Island's Direction.
Most importantly, it was very famous in the East Blue and was called the 'Excessively Beautiful Sea Prison'.
If the people from Cipher Pol, under these Circumstances, still couldn't find the place, then Im might have to consider clearing out a batch of people.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
As for the question of whether to leave it for Ace, he didn't consider it at all.
Are you kidding me? Ace is only one year old now. Currently, the World Government opens one Star Gate per year and enters one Otherworld per year. How could they leave behind a Special Resource with such high Value as the Flame-Flame Fruit?
Besides, when Ace grows up and becomes an adult, he will definitely have many new choices. He might not even care for Devil Fruits.
"Yes."
Surtur sighed in his Heart, resignedly extended his left hand and grasped the Flame-Flame Fruit, then directly threw it into his mouth like a red grape, bit it, and swallowed it.
Indeed, this Devil Fruit was truly too small in front of the Giant Tribe.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons they didn't like eating Devil Fruits; psychologically, they felt that such small things weren't very reliable.
"Hmm?"
After about four or five seconds, one saw Flame begin to emerge from Surtur's Body.
Even that set of Golden Armor attached with a layer of 'Kabaneri Heart Membrane' also turned into a plasma state, and his entire Body visibly burst into fierce flames.
Thus, his Epithet 'Fire Giant' also truly lived up to its Name.
"Withdraw your Ability and step back."
Im's voice came again. After Surtur heard it, he didn't dare to continue experiencing the Feeling of Element Transformation. After retracting all the Flame, he half-knelt down again.
"Utgard."
"Here!"
Utgard, like Surtur, was also previously an Elder of the Elbaf Kingdom and also had the Epithet 'Ice Giant'. The Weapon in his hand was a Golden Giant Axe.
Soon, a Devil Fruit that was entirely white, with symmetrical spirals covering its surface, flew down.
"Utgard, Giant God, this is the Logia System Snow-Snow Fruit. It allows the Ability User's Body to turn into Snowflakes or create Wind and snow, and is also a lower-tier Fruit compared to the Logia System Ice-Ice Fruit. The specific Data/Files of past Ability Users will be sent to your residence later."
Stussy introduced it again.
This Snow-Snow Fruit was found by Doflamingo for Im.
Im's idea was very simple: he just thought that having people who had some connection to the corresponding Devil Fruit in the 'Canon' search for it might have some wonderful Effect.
Soon.
As Utgard swallowed the Snow-Snow Fruit, his Body quickly turned into white snow, and gusts of Cold Wind blew away the heat that Surtur had previously created.
However, he was very perceptive. This time, without waiting for Im's instructions, he stopped his Ability on his own and then knelt back down.
"Brogy."
When Im called out a Name again, the person involved immediately showed a troubled expression. Brogy, the 'Red Ogre', didn't expect that he would also get one, but could only Stand Up and accept reality.
"Here!"
The next moment, Brogy clearly saw the deep red Devil Fruit that flew in front of him, then looked at Stussy, signaling her to quickly explain.
His Personality had always been optimistic and honest, so he quickly accepted the fact that he was about to become an Ability User, and even felt a little bit of anticipation.
"Brogy, Giant God, this is the Zoan Mythical Beast Type Snake-Snake Fruit, Yamata no Orochi Form. Its Basic Abilities are that after transforming, it will have seven dragon-like Snake Heads. Each Snake Head possesses the Ability to revive the Ability User once."
"As for other Abilities, there have only been two recorded Ability Users so far, so I can briefly explain."
Stussy's voice was very pleasant, but everyone present only cared about the Content she was speaking.
"The previous Kurozumi Orochi did not perform any valuable Development on it, while the Ability User before the previous one only developed the Ability to spray water streams based on the Basic Abilities, so you still need to train and Research a lot yourself."
After Brogy heard this, he was both satisfied with having seven extra lives and a little melancholic about having seven extra Snake Heads. As for other Abilities, he wasn't too concerned about them for now.
After he knelt back down, Im finally spoke the last Name.
"Oimo!"
"It's actually me... Here!"
Oimo and Casey next to him exchanged a glance and happily Stood Up. He was probably the only Giant who wanted a Devil Fruit Ability.
Because among the current 'Giant God Soldiers', he and Casey were the weakest, and furthermore, limited by the Upper Limit of their Talent, no matter how much they trained, they couldn't catch up to those older brothers.
"Oimo, Giant God, this is the Paramecia System Door-Door Fruit. It is a very rare space-type Ability. Its Basic Abilities are that it can freely create and open various types of doors on any object. If a door is opened in the Air, it will connect to an Otherworld space exclusive to the Door-Door Fruit."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 487: Perfect Type 1 Cell Enhancement Serum!
Paramecia System Door-Door Fruit.
In Im's Previous Life, this was widely considered one of the god-tier Fruits that was a pity, because it had the potential to be developed into a 'Teleportation Gate' Ability.
For example, it could open a door connecting to places one had been before, an Ability with more Transportation Value than Bartholomew Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit.
However, in the 'Canon', Bruno only developed the Ability to create air doors connecting to a 'parallel space'.
The so-called 'Parallel World'.
It is a green space where objects are completely consistent and synchronized with their state in the real World.
A Door-Door Fruit Ability User can also see the real World from this space, but people in the real World cannot see the Ability User in the green space.
And synchronization means that if you enter the green space through an air door from a moving Train, you will also be in a moving Train in this space. Only the Ability User themselves and the people they brought in will be present.
The Value of this Effect is that a Door-Door Fruit Ability User can double the maximum passenger capacity of a vehicle, and do so without the other party even knowing!
Moreover, this Devil Fruit was originally given to Bruno by the World Government and had been stored in the Holy Land Treasury. Im only needed to have someone retrieve it.
Because it doesn't possess very Strong Combat Ability, after careful consideration, he decided to give it to Oimo.
Since he isn't particularly outstanding in Combat Talent, his role as a Tool Character should be maximized. Furthermore, he was originally a Giant Tribe member guarding the Main Gate at Enies Lobby.
Continuing to be a 'Gate God' now is quite suitable.
As for Oimo's partner, the other gate-guarding Giant, Cass, Im wants to give him the Paramecia System Barrier-Barrier Fruit. However, this Devil Fruit hasn't been found yet, so he can only wait for further progress from Redfield's side.
Speaking of which, this is all Kaido's fault, that Bastard!
If he hadn't killed Kurozumi Higurashi with a single blow out of anger, he could have completely used Redfield's Ability to get the Barrier-Barrier Fruit now.
The reason he wants to give Cass the Barrier-Barrier Fruit is the same principle: maximize the Value of the Tool Character.
The Barrier-Barrier Fruit's Ability can provide the Noah's Ark with the best Defense Function, equivalent to the Energy Shields on those sci-fi Airships.
As for the remaining 'Blue Ogre' Dorry...
To be honest.
Im hasn't quite decided what Devil Fruit Ability to give him yet, but since Brogy is a Mythical Zoan Eight-Headed Snake, it would be best to find a Mythical Zoan for him as well.
For Giant Tribe members who are good at Combat like them, an Animal System Mythical Zoan should be the best choice. Surtur's Flare-Flare Fruit and Utgard's Snow-Snow Fruit were purely for Im's own amusement.
After distributing the Devil Fruits, the seven 'Giant God Soldiers' left in a Column from the Empty Hall.
Saul and Dorry returned to the floors they were responsible for to continue standing guard, while Surtur, Oimo, and the others returned to their respective Residences to Familiarize themselves with their new Abilities.
In the distance, Enel, who was constantly doing Push-ups under the gaze of the Martial Arts Instructor, let the hot sweat on his Body drip onto the ground like flowing water, subconsciously watching the backs of the 'Giant Gods' as they left.
"Concentrate!"
The Instructor from Cipher Pol lightly shouted sternly, causing Enel to immediately snap back to attention and continue grinding his teeth, training every inch of Muscle on his Body.
Since Tesoro left, although there were still Kung Fu Dugong and Humandrills training alongside him, he increasingly felt that this kind of Training was very tedious.
He even gradually began to feel like he was wasting Time.
In Enel's opinion, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Ability was already Strong enough, and he should focus on Training and Development of its Ability.
But who knew that as soon as he raised an objection to this Instructor, he was severely beaten by the other party using Six Powers and Haki. The Strength, Speed, and Combat Experience the Instructor displayed at that Time completely woke him up.
Later, Lord Imu also told him that only strength without blind spots was worthy of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea', this glorious Epithet that could be called a 'God's Envoy'!
This finally calmed Enel's restless Heart.
However, a few days ago, when he saw the Live Broadcast Screen Feed of The Rumbling pouring into the Medium Star Gate and then being pushed back by Garp, Newgate, Sakazuki, and others, a strong motivation immediately surged in his Heart.
He also hoped to participate in such a magnificent Civilization War as soon as possible, so Enel has been Training extremely hard these past few days. His originally somewhat slender Body has already shown the outline of strong Muscles.
Most importantly, perhaps due to his Exceptional Talent, he has already Awakened Observation Haki, and also possesses the special Ability to hear sounds within a certain range.
The key is that under the amplification of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Ability, Enel's Observation Haki range is much larger than that of the Martial Arts Instructor's Observation Haki.
Now, most of this fifth-floor Zone can be covered by it, but under Stussy's Warning, he doesn't dare to casually sweep his Observation Haki towards areas where people reside.
Perhaps it was because the first impression was deep enough or due to her Identity, Enel felt a bit intimidated by Stussy.
In terms of Martial Arts.
Enel has initially mastered Shave, Iron Body, and Paper Arts. His progress is actually quite fast. Regardless, he is now seventeen years old, and his Body has basically fully matured.
Of course, there's also the reason he gave himself a 'cheat'.
That is, stimulating his entire Body with Electro every day, which produced the basic 'Thunder Forging Body' Effect.
However, this method wasn't something Enel came up with himself.
Just like Surtur and the others received Data/Files about Devil Fruit Abilities, Enel naturally also received various Data/Files and Development Suggestions regarding the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Among the Development Suggestions, they were actually personally written by Im.
This can be considered a further utilization of the Transmigrator's Advantage of being 'well-informed' and having 'unique ideas', which can also help his subordinates save Time and Energy on Development as much as possible.
Back at the Empty Hall, Im waited for the Main Gate to close again, then had the Ubuyashiki four sisters, who were guarding the Steps / Stairway on both sides, assemble below the Steps / Stairway.
Although the Hinaki four didn't understand why, they obediently shuffled their small steps onto the Red Carpet and stood in a Column, then quietly waited for Lord Imu to speak.
"Just as I said before that the Giant Tribe's Strength is too weak to serve as 'Giant God Soldiers', you, as my personal Maids, are actually still far from sufficient in Value."
Because the Age of these four girls ranged from nine years old for the oldest to seven years old for the youngest, Im's tone was slightly more Gentleness, but it still sounded a bit harsh.
However, the Ubuyashiki four sisters below the Steps / Stairway were very calm after hearing this, as if they didn't care about Im's evaluation at all.
Only the small fists clenched under their Kimono sleeves slightly revealed their Nervousness at this moment.
"So I will also bestow upon you a Devil Fruit Ability, but before that, you need to first improve your Physical Fitness." After speaking, Im's Gaze looked towards Stussy.
Stussy Respectfully nodded, then reached into her jacket pocket with her Right Hand, pulled something out, and opened her hand.
A miniature Small Black Box appeared in her palm.
The next moment, the Small Black Box rapidly expanded and grew larger, restoring its Original Copy Volume.
Immediately after, Stussy held the bottom of the Black Box with one hand and entered the Password with the other to open the Black Box.
As a burst of Cold Air dissipated, four tubes containing red liquid injection Serums were revealed inside. Each injection Serum also had the Name of each Ubuyashiki sister affixed to its surface.
"This is the Perfect Type 1 Cell Enhancement Serum, primarily developed by Director Fritz of the Biochemical Research Institute."
"It is said to be a Biochemical Serum developed using the Bloodline Genes of the 'Perfect Being' Muzan Kibutsuji and your respective Bloodline Genes as the main Materials, capable of greatly increasing your Total Cell Count."
After a brief introduction, Stussy revealed a Smile.
"It can raise your Physical Fitness and potential to the comprehensive level of most Sea Star People!"
[Chapter Comments] It's a Harem, it's a Harem, I've replied many times in the Chapter Comments and Comment section before.
[Chapter Comments] I tried to introduce it, but it didn't pass the review.
[Chapter Comments] That person (the 4th floor is the 5th chapter of the water building) should stop looking like they were tricked into subscribing by me, and even say it was a waste of money. You yourself admit you were blind, is that my fault?
[Chapter Comments] So funny~~
[Chapter Comments] I have never avoided the Harem issue, I always answered directly that it is a Harem, many people Understand this!
[Chapter Comments] For those who cannot accept that it is a Harem, I declare again here, this Book is a Harem, even if I won't write much about it.
[Chapter Comments] When the Time comes, I'll just pull out this kind of stuff again!
(End of this chapter)
## Chapter 488: The Ubuyashiki Sisters' Abilities!
This 'Perfect Type 1 Cell Enhancement Serum' is actually a major testament to the World Government's comprehensive development.
While Lord Imu, the Five Elders, Cipher Pol, the Otherworld Strategy Committee, the Army Headquarters, the Marine Headquarters, and the Air Force Headquarters were all focusing their energy and Line of Sight on the Otherworld Conquest.
Back on the Sea Star Mainland, especially in the Academy of Science, various new discoveries and inventions were constantly emerging.
Since Muzan Kibutsuji joined the Biochemical Research Institute and absorbed a large amount of biochemical Knowledge, they have received unimaginable help in the Lineage Factor Domain.
Although Muzan Kibutsuji's Blood, having become a 'Perfect Being', no longer has the Effect of turning others into Demons, it still possesses the terrifying Ability to cause various Effects within a Target's Body.
He can both treat Diseases for a Target and cause Blood Vessel to rupture, internal organs to fail, and so on.
Before joining the World Government, he had reached the Domain of infusing his Consciousness into every piece of Flesh and Blood.
Now, after Awakening Observation Haki, his Perception Ability has further improved, allowing him to attach his Consciousness to every Blood Cells or muscle Tissue.
In terms of Technology, Muzan Kibutsuji is a 'Biological Nanorobot Controller'.
Basically, anyone whose Martial Arts level has not reached 'Life Return' or other Means will inevitably die if his whip-like appendages pierce their Body!
Speaking of the 'Perfect Type 1 Cell Enhancement Serum'.
This Item cannot be mass-produced yet; it can only be customized according to each person's Bloodline Gene, otherwise, severe rejection will occur.
Moreover, its Enhancement Effect on Sea Star Person is not non-existent, but it is indeed not very significant, merely making the weakest Sea Star Person healthier.
Therefore, the Biochemical Research Institute is currently Research how to turn it into a vaccine suitable for injection into Sea Star infants.
If successful, the average Physique of Sea Star Person will greatly improve in the Future.
"Use it."
Im used Haki to send the four tubes of Enhancement Serum from the black box to the four Ubuyashiki sisters.
These four Little Loli with snow-white hair, wearing purple Kimono, hesitated for a few seconds before pursing their lips, rolling up their sleeves, and inserting the sharp needle into their fair Arm, enduring the stinging pain as they slowly pushed the Serum into their Body.
Once the Serum inside the needle was empty, they automatically flew back into the black box in Stussy's hand.
A moment later.
The Body of the four Ubuyashiki sisters began to change. They were feverish, sweating, their Breathing became rapid, and at the same Time, a Strong sense of hunger surged into their Heart.
Because they were too hungry, it caused their Body to tremble slightly from weakness, looking as if they were about to collapse.
Seeing this, Stussy took out four small white Pill with purple butterfly Pattern printed on their Surface from her jacket pocket. She personally walked over and handed one to each of the four Ubuyashiki sisters.
"This is the 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill' developed by Doctor Shinobu Kocho from the Medical Academy. It has the Effect of replenishing Life Force and providing high Nutrition. Eat it!"
The four Ubuyashiki sisters, hearing that it was made by Shinobu Kocho and seeing the familiar 'purple butterfly' on the Pill, took it without hesitation and swallowed it.
Soon, a faint purple light appeared on their Body Surface, and their originally pale complexions quickly turned rosy.
"As expected of Sister Shinobu..."
Ubuyashiki Hinaki gently praised, touching her stomach which had regained its fullness.
"The increase in Total Cell Count will take a few days. During this Time, try not to use your Devil Fruit Ability. When you feel your whole Body is filled with Strength, you can start practicing."
Stussy gently instructed the four Little Girl.
"Thank you, Lord Stussy!"
The four Ubuyashiki sisters naturally felt her kindness and thanked her in unison.
"Then let's begin."
"Hinaki."
Im faintly called out the first Name. Hinaki is the Boss of the four Ubuyashiki sisters, standing on the far left, the one wearing a red flower ornament on her head.
"Yes, Lord Imu."
Ubuyashiki Hinaki softly replied.
Soon, a Devil Fruit, black on the upper half and white on the lower half, resembling a large chestnut, flew over from behind the Empty Throne.
"Hinaki, this is the Paramecia System Brush-Brush Fruit. Its Basic Ability allows you to turn drawn things into Physical Entity, including conscious Creature, Food, and natural phenomena like Wind and Rain and Lightning."
"At the same Time, the more skilled the Ability User's drawing technique, the Stronger the things they draw will be. Also, they will dissolve when they encounter water."
Stussy returned to her Position and continued her job of introducing the Fruit.
"Its previous Ability User was Kurozumi Kanjuro, considered the best Developer among the recorded Ability User throughout history. The things he drew would not dissolve even when they touched water; they would only be subject to Destruction after receiving enough attacks. Moreover, even without a Pen, he could turn his hair tips into a brush."
After listening, Im also sighed in his Heart.
"This Kurozumi Kanjuro is far Stronger in drawing technique than that Sai from the Ninja World. Compared to him, the latter only possesses the former's Basic Ability."
Ubuyashiki Hinaki said with some hesitation, "But although I learned some ink painting from my Mother, I really can't say I'm very good..."
Stussy smiled slightly.
"It doesn't Matter. I have already invited the most excellent ink painting master from the Flower Country under Lord Imu's instruction. After your ink painting reaches a certain level, we will also invite top painters from other Style."
Actually, when it comes to drawing, the most powerful Human in the entire World should be Im himself, who is sitting on the Empty Throne.
His former self's Research into drawing technique reached perfection in the 'Room of Authority'. There was nothing else to do, so he could only play with these arts to pass the Time.
But what is Im's Identity? How could he personally teach a Maid?
Even if she was his personal Maid, it wouldn't do.
"Alright... Thank you, Lord Imu!"
Ubuyashiki Hinaki bowed to the platform, then took the Brush-Brush Fruit floating before her, bit off a piece of Fruit Pulp, and swallowed it with difficulty.
But she didn't want to touch the rest, because she knew that one only needed to eat one bite of a Devil Fruit.
It was truly too unpalatable!
"Nichika, Kanata, Kuina."
After Hinaki returned to the queue, Im called out the Name of the other three directly to save Time.
Nichika is nine years old this year, wearing a yellow flower ornament on her head. Kanata is seven years old this year, wearing a Wisteria Flower ornament on her head. Kuina is also seven years old, wearing a purple flower ornament on her head.
"Yes, Lord Imu!"
As three Devil Fruit flew over, Stussy's voice echoed again in the Empty Hall.
"Nichika, yours is the Paramecia System Book-Book Fruit. Kanata's is the Paramecia System Mirror-Mirror Fruit. Kuina's is the Paramecia System Memory Fruit."
"The Basic Ability of the Book-Book Fruit is..."
While Stussy patiently introduced the Ability of these Devil Fruit, Im was thinking about other Matter above.
The Book-Book Fruit, Mirror-Mirror Fruit, and Memory Fruit were all requested from Charlotte Linlin by the Five Elders under his instruction. For this, the World Government gave her quite a bit of compensation as a trade.
After all, she is 'BIG MOM', and couldn't be treated like the Dressrosa Kingdom.
For example, the World Government found a Strong and healthy Giant Tribe Human whom Charlotte Linlin also found satisfactory, so she could give birth to Child with Giant Tribe Bloodline.
They also promised that once King's clone Research was completed, they would give her a Lunarian race as a husband...
To the Reader who is genuinely subscribing, you really don't like Speaking, do you? You are all so quiet. Is there really nothing in this Book that makes you want to complain?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 489: Red Butterflies!
Nearly a month has passed. It is now early April of Marine Calendar 1500.
Im is still staying on Paradis Island in the Titan World. As mentioned before, according to the requirements of the 'Star Luck' function, he must stay in a world for three full years to completely control everything about it.
However, he recently discovered an interesting phenomenon, which is that the 'Yamato' is ineffective in this world.
This means he cannot enter the 'King Enma's Hell' of the Sea Star World from the Titan World, nor can he enter the Underworld Hell of this world.
Im guessed that this should be directly related to him not sending the Souls of this world to 'King Yama'.
If 'King Yama' conquers the Underworld of the Titan World, the function of this 'Yamato' should be activated.
To confirm this.
A few days ago, Im specifically used the Small Stargate he carried with him to travel alone to the Demon Slayer World, and then used the 'Yamato' again in a deserted place.
Indeed, he successfully entered the Underworld Hell of the Demon Slayer World.
Compared to the Sea Star's Hell, that Hell didn't have as much Sulfur Smell. The temperature wasn't stuffy, but rather somewhat cold and damp. However, the biggest characteristic should be the ubiquitous red butterflies and red spider lilies.
According to his careful observation, the essence of the red butterflies should be Spirit Particle creatures containing Fear Emotion.
At that time, Im even tried absorbing one, but found that although this thing had a certain nourishing effect on the Soul, it would also cause one's consciousness to be affected by Fear Emotion.
Which is the so-called mental pollution.
However, he also saw some blue butterflies. Those butterflies didn't have any Fear Emotion, but he saw many familiar black-robed Skeletons using a black insect net to collect these blue butterflies.
Through simple Spirit Communication, Im was informed by the other party that these blue butterflies were the Souls of Normal Humans from the Demon Slayer World after death, and they were taking them back to the recently built Demon Fortress.
As for their use after being taken back, there were too many possibilities...
In short, they were telling him that these blue butterflies were all things 'King Yama' needed, and he'd better not touch them!
This made Im very displeased at the time, but he wasn't an impulsive hothead.
However, it also made him increasingly want to know what level of existence 'King Yama' truly was, because only then could he understand the size of the Gap between them.
Frustratingly, he currently had no channels to access this information.
Finally.
Just as Im was about to leave the Demon Slayer Hell with a heavy Heart, the purple Soul fire in the eyes of the black-robed Skeleton suddenly flared up. Immediately after, 'King Yama''s hoarse voice appeared by his ear.
"Ruler of the Human World, the Souls from the third Otherworld, send them over as soon as possible."
Clearly, the other party had already learned through the Souls of those who died on the Sea Star Homeland about the Matter of the World Government going to war with the Titan World.
This Matter also made Im decide to temporarily stop using the 'Yamato' and reconsider the Situation after the fourth Star Gate opens. In any case, he didn't want to give the Underworld Hell of the 'Titan World' to the other party.
Meanwhile.
Regarding the Titan World, the Three Forces Troops had basically completed their Combat Mission.
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and others were leading their respective subordinates and Troops back to the Sea Star Homeland.
However, because the Star Gate locations had completely changed, they needed to first take various types of Warships to 'Canberra Continent/Australia'. From the 'Medium Star Gate' there, they would enter the 'Korean Peninsula' of the Demon Slayer World. Then, they would transfer to the Warships Kuzan had prepared for them in advance, travel again to the 'Second Special Zone/Former Foot Basin Rooster Island Country', and finally return to the Red Line of the Sea Star Homeland through the 'Small Stargate' located there.
This caused Borsalino to occasionally complain with a twisted mouth along the way.
However, Sakazuki, Bullet, Crocodile, and others greatly praised the World Government's Star Gate operation. They could see the huge benefits of doing this.
Using two Otherworlds as the strategic depth for the Sea Star! What a luxurious and Spirit-filled grand Plan!
However, completely withdrawing this large Troop of several hundred thousand people will still require a relatively long Time. After all, the Star Gate in the Demon Slayer World is currently still 'Small'.
Of course, Admirals and Vice Admirals like Sakazuki were definitely among the first group to return, so they had already returned to the Sea Star Homeland by this time.
As for Charlotte Linlin, she returned by herself more than ten days ago because she felt bored, because she found that the level of desserts in the Titan World wasn't as good as in the Demon Slayer World before.
However, just as they were saying goodbye to each other at the Main Gate of the 'Demon Slayer Star Gate Base' in Area RL1557, preparing to return to their respective Headquarters, a civilian Colonel from the Command Department ran over.
"Reporting to Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, and Admiral Green Dragon!"
"Minister Kong Orders all Admirals and Vice Admirals to immediately assemble in the Command Department Hall!"
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kaido exchanged glances. Behind them, Shiryu, King, Marco, Vista, Onigumo, Doberman, Oven, Daifuku, and others also looked at each other in confusion.
Although they were completely confused, the military Order had arrived, so they could only abandon the idea of returning to their respective Three Forces Headquarters.
Riding in specially made large black Cars, escorted by dozens of Heavy Motorcycle Soldiers in front and on both sides, they headed towards Area RL1550, where the Headquarters of the Whole Army Supreme Military Command was located, with smoke billowing.
Because it was only a Distance of six Zones away, the convoy arrived below the Command Department Office Building in less than two hours.
"Oh, so many people. What could this be for?"
As soon as Borsalino got out of the Car, he put both hands in his Pockets, looking in surprise at the bustling entrance, filled with senior Officers wearing Coats of Justice of various colors, with people coming and going.
Except for some Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels who came out to greet them, the rest were all Vice Admirals from the Three Forces. As for the Admirals, they weren't seen; they were probably already inside.
"We'll know once we go inside. In the Era we are currently in, even if a major Matter happens every day, I wouldn't find it strange."
After Sakazuki finished speaking, he walked past Borsalino's left side.
"Worororo~~"
"I completely agree with that!"
Kaido walked past from the right side, laughing heartily. Seeing this, Borsalino shrugged his Shoulder Insignia indifferently and also strode forward with his long legs to follow.
An hour later, inside the over 500 square meter hall, all the Admirals and most of the Vice Admirals were divided into three Great Zones according to their respective military branches: Sea, Land, and Air.
In the front row sat Marine Admiral Garp, Marine Admiral Kuzan, Army General Sakazuki, Honorary Admiral Edward Newgate, Air Force Admiral Borsalino, Air Force Admiral Kaido, and Honorary Admiral Charlotte Linlin.
Behind them were Army Admiral Candidate Douglas Barrett and Army Admiral Candidate Sir Crocodile.
Yes.
There were only the two of them in this second row.
In the third row behind them were Marco, King, Oven, Onigumo, and others.
On the stage were Minister Kong, Minister Zephyr, Minister Tsuru, as well as Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Marshal Raymond. Minister Kong cleared his throat twice and got straight to the point without any preamble.
"This time, the main reason for summoning everyone here is to announce three important Matters."
"The first Matter: Marshal Raymond will no longer concurrently serve as Fleet Admiral of the Air Force. Minister Zephyr of the Military and Political Department will concurrently serve as Fleet Admiral of the Air Force."
Below the stage, Garp and the others focused their Gaze on the calm-faced Zephyr after hearing this. However, no one raised any objections. After all, Zephyr's Strength and qualifications were unquestionable.
Only Borsalino pouted slightly, feeling a bit depressed.
He could already imagine how he would be nagged and lectured in various ways from now on. Ah, how annoying~
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 490: Exciting Orders!
Minister Kong saw that the entire audience had no opinion on this, so he continued to announce the next content.
"The second matter."
"The Military and Political Department will invite Muzan Kibutsuji from the Biochemical Research Institute to teach biology-related Knowledge to everyone present, helping those who haven't mastered Life Return to master it as soon as possible."
"At the same time, it will allow those who have already mastered it to make better use of Life Return and uncover its greatest Potential. Therefore, the Command Department now officially issues an Order: you must set aside at least two days each month to go to the Military and Political Department for Study."
As soon as he finished speaking, various low whispers began to arise from the audience.
Some people who didn't know Muzan Kibutsuji were asking who Muzan Kibutsuji was, why his Name was so strange, and why he was qualified to teach them.
And some people who did know Muzan Kibutsuji were also quite puzzled.
Although the other party is the 'Big Boss' of the 'Demon Slayer World' who has lived for a thousand years, his Strength doesn't seem to be that great, right?
Also.
What other Potential does Life Return have that they haven't uncovered?
"Pfft hahahaha!"
Garp was most surprised by this question. He picked his nose and laughed loudly at the old fellows on the stage: "Sengoku, Zephyr, do you also think that Muzan Kibutsuji can teach This Old Man how to use Life Return?"
As soon as he spoke, the murmurs gradually stopped, and everyone waited for the response from the Big Shots on the stage.
You know, Hero Garp is publicly recognized as the strongest in Martial Arts. He must have also trained Life Return to the highest level, right?
On the stage.
Sengoku and Zephyr exchanged glances. Ultimately, Zephyr, also a pure Martial Arts Powerhouse, answered Garp.
"Yes, This Old Man will attend the class with you then."
"..."
Hearing such a direct answer, Garp didn't become angry out of embarrassment. Instead, he stopped his actions and looked seriously at Zephyr. Seeing that the other party wasn't joking, he calmly nodded.
"This Old Man understands."
He trusted Zephyr and Sengoku. Since these two thought so, Muzan Kibutsuji must have this Ability.
Upon seeing this.
Newgate, Sakazuki, and the Vice Admirals behind them all fell silent. At the same time, their curiosity towards Muzan Kibutsuji grew stronger, especially Crocodile, whose Gaze was somewhat strange at this moment.
"Is that guy really that Strong?"
At the same time, a comical scene surfaced in Crocodile's mind: the time Muzan Kibutsuji was grabbed by the back of his neck by him and didn't even dare to move.
It's worth mentioning that originally, because Muzan Kibutsuji was still a Jailer Beast of Impel Down, he couldn't frequently enter and exit the outside World.
So, to solve this Rules issue, the Five Elders directly had Muzan Kibutsuji withdraw from the Prison Guard Establishment, only retaining his Identity as a Researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute.
This way, they could obey Lord Imu's Order and have Muzan Kibutsuji work part-time as a biology professor for the Military and Political Department.
It was truly because Im discovered that the Powerhouses of the Sea Star World had genuinely poor academic levels.
Life Return is a powerful Martial Arts Technique that can infuse Consciousness into every corner of the Body, including the Internal Organs. However, the people below only used it for quickly digesting Food, quickly stopping Wounds, or manipulating hair and so on.
Of course, Former Imu was much the same.
But theoretically, Life Return should be able to achieve limb regeneration, or even more powerful effects, by consuming Life Force.
And this point has been acknowledged by Muzan Kibutsuji himself.
It's just that Life Return is a Martial Arts Technique that can be cultivated by Humans, while for 'Demons', this is a self-instinct as a Creature.
But the principle is the same; both require using Consciousness to Control the inside and outside of the Body.
These two can only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Although Life Return can be popularized, it not only requires a lot of training but also requires learning a large amount of biology Knowledge to increase one's understanding of their own Body.
It's like a native language and a foreign language...
Therefore, since the problem was discovered, Im naturally had to prescribe the right medicine. The method was to make Garp, Newgate, and other Higher-ups cram biology Knowledge!
Study, Study, and damn Study!
Although this is definitely a very difficult and long-term Matter, no matter what, they have to start!
In the Future, biology must be a mandatory subject for the Three Forces, no, for everyone including Cipher Pol. The cultural problem must be firmly addressed!
However, just imagining Garp and the others biting their pens, sitting at desks, and studying diligently, Im on the Titan World side couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes.
Just imagine the Screen Feed of Garp, Newgate, Kaido, Linlin, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Bullet, Crocodile, and others sitting in rows in a classroom, watching Muzan Kibutsuji lecture on biology from the podium.
It's too beautiful~~
"Now, let's talk about the third matter."
Minister Kong continued to announce the final Order notice in a deep voice.
"The Command Department has decided that from now on, all Haki usage Techniques will be publicly disclosed to Military Officers of Vice Admiral rank and above."
"This includes Conqueror's Haki Infusion, which has a Mental Shockwave effect, Armament Haki Emission, which has a long-range release effect, Armament Haki Penetration, which has an Internal Destruction effect, and Observation Haki's Future Sight!"
[ROAR----]
In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall, especially among the Vice Admirals, who were overjoyed.
Most people didn't care much about Conqueror's Haki Infusion, after all, not everyone could possess Conqueror's Haki.
But Armament Haki Emission, Penetration, and Observation Haki's Future Sight were completely possible to master!
You know, before this, these advanced Techniques were the exclusive secrets of the Big Shots. Even Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku wouldn't easily teach them to others.
Most Vice Admirals generally only knew Armament Haki Coating and Hardening. As for Observation Haki, the range varied from person to person.
Therefore, this Order from the Command Department truly greatly excited these Vice Admirals of the Three Forces.
The moment they thought about being able to freely emit Haki in future Combat, or penetrate Haki through the opponent's Body Surface to attack their Internal Organs, or use Future Sight to avoid all of the opponent's attacks in advance, a Feeling of excitement naturally arose.
On the stage.
Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, Raimon, and others saw this and had no intention of stopping them.
They were all people who climbed step by step from the bottom to high positions, and they deeply understood the Feelings of the Vice Admirals at this moment, so they were very willing to give them some time to Vent their emotions.
Furthermore, they were actually also very shocked by this Order issued by the Five Elders. When they received the Order at the time, they were all stunned on the spot and didn't recover for a long time.
But after their Reaction, they all felt sincere admiration for this Order!
But Kong, Sengoku, and the others didn't know.
When the Five Elders heard Lord Imu's Order at the time, their dumbfounded appearance was no better than theirs.
It was a Feeling where their Brains instantly crashed, and then their Hearts were impacted by complex emotions such as strong admiration, worship, and shock, affecting their Brains and entire Bodies.
Whether it was the idea of making the Admirals and Vice Admirals cram biology Knowledge to maximize the Potential of Life Return, or this current idea of the Military internally disclosing all Haki Techniques, both were unprecedented, great ideas full of boldness!
Indeed.
The World and the World Government are no longer just having minor skirmishes with each other, but have become an Entity collectively launching Civilization Challenges towards the Myriad Worlds and the Cosmic Star Sea.
In that case, only by popularizing all the advanced Techniques can they maximize the strengthening of their own overall Combat Power!
