## Chapter 653: Die Under Military Law!
The River of Time flowed swiftly between the Myriad Worlds Star Sea.
Interestingly, the five Worlds, including World, each had their own seasons.
This resulted in Hinamoto in the Kabaneri World being in deep winter.
Yet Paradis Island in the Titan World was experiencing peak summer.
Years, months, and dates were even more chaotic.
To solve this problem, the World Government, under Im's instruction, issued an Order to the Kabaneri World, Demon Slayer World, and Titan World, which it had already brought under its Rule, to uniformly use the Marine Calendar and take the Time of Holy Land Marie Geoise on World as the standard.
Although this approach would cause the months and seasons in these three Worlds to not align, for example, it might be November but feel like spring or summer, it greatly facilitated the World Government's Management of them.
As for the Imperial Arms World, this would also be done once it officially completed its Affiliation.
In addition to this, the Currency would also be uniformly changed to Berry, and the World Bank would establish a Branch in the Capital of each Country.
At the same time, according to World Government Law, the private issuance of any form of Currency was prohibited.
Regarding Law, the World Government Law had a higher Priority than the laws of each Country. This was also one of the Foundation conditions for Affiliation.
At this moment, more than a month had passed since The Empire, Shen He, and Alchemy officially submitted their Membership Applications to the World Government.
The 'Saika Fortress City' Reconstruction Project, led by Pica, had completed its basic main structure Construction under his powerful Paramecia System Stone-Stone Fruit Ability and the hard work of the entire team.
Now, there was no trace of its former appearance.
Only a City with a Style significantly different from this World's had risen from the vast Snowfield Earth, where Dark Clouds hung low, Snowflakes drifted down, and Cold Wind howled.
Large and small Zones were formed by buildings of varying Heights and pure white color. Wide, hundred-meter-wide two-way Grand Avenues crisscrossed, surrounding a large Building in the Center that stood out prominently.
Five cylindrical white buildings connected by four Skywalks formed the World Government Branch Building, which appeared as a 'Five-Circle Cross' when viewed from above.
At the same time, in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast corners, there were three flagpoles each, the same Height as the Building.
At their tops, World Government Flags fluttered continuously in the Cold Wind.
The overall structure and layout were identical to the World Government Headquarters on the Sea Star Mainland, except that the Size and Scale in all aspects were much smaller than the Headquarters.
The reason for this was that the World Government, in order to demonstrate its authority, explicitly stipulated that the Government Branch Buildings in Otherworlds must have a unified Style.
Next, Pica and his team only needed to complete the final finishing work before it could be declared complete.
Then, the World Government would send people to receive and manage it, and finally, the Army Unit would be stationed there to arrange City Defenses and Patrols.
All of this combined would likely take another month.
However, this also provided a perfectly suitable timeframe for the upcoming Activities of all parties.
This was the 'Friendly Sparring' proposed by the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
Above the East Blue of the Imperial Arms World, there were two Islands, one large and one small, almost adjacent to the Empire Continent.
The larger one was the former Marine Headquarters of The Empire.
The smaller one was Esdeath's personal Residence.
However, due to the world-shaking battle between Kuzan and Esdeath, it had now completely turned into an Ice and Snow World.
In the Port, many Steel Warships could still be seen, completely Frozen.
At this moment, the Sea Surface around this Large Island had been blockaded by the World Government's Marine Fleet.
Eleven Aerospace Carriers full of Fighter Aircraft and forty Flying Warships of different types floated in the sky.
Some of these Flying Warships were equipped with a large number of Video Den Den Mushi.
Nearby, some Officials from the Propaganda Department Media Agency, wearing thick Winter Clothes, endured the cold of the Wind and Snow while occasionally scanning the Distance and below with expectant Gaze.
Meanwhile, the Audience from various Worlds, who could also see the live Screen Feed through the Viewpoint of these Den Den Mushi, had already gathered together.
Especially the Citizens of World.
Unconsciously, they had become accustomed to watching Film and Television Programs and Live Broadcasts.
So, when the Propaganda Department publicly announced half a month ago that it would Public Broadcast this 'Highest Combat Power Exchange Battle' with the Imperial Arms World, it could be described as universally anticipated.
People hoped to see the demeanor of their side's Admirals again, and they were also curious about what kind of Ability/Skill the Imperial Arms World possessed.
Not only had it not been conquered by the Great Army like the previous few Otherworlds, but it could also make the World Government agree to hold Affiliation Talks with it.
Thinking about the World Government about to welcome its first Affiliated Countries from another world, everyone felt a strong sense of novelty, which also caused worry among many Royalty and Nobility on the Sea Star Mainland.
Especially the Kingdoms that held World Conference Seat.
They vaguely suspected that the World Government would give the Imperial Arms World a Seat.
Then, unless a Seat was added, breaking the fifty-Seat Rules that had been maintained for nearly a thousand years, a Homeland Member Nation would have to withdraw.
If it were the latter, the Interests involved would be too great.
"Tanjiro!"
"Oh dear, you're finally here!"
"Come quickly, come quickly!"
"Nezuko Kamado is here too, that's great! Sit next to me!"
"Get lost! Come here!"
On Wano Island on the Sea Star Mainland, in Master Yudao's dojo.
A group of young men and women wearing black and white kendo uniforms sat shoulder to shoulder on the smooth wooden floor.
There were about three hundred people, and their Age was around seventeen or eighteen years old.
When a man and a woman who had hurried over appeared at the doorway not far away, the Atmosphere immediately became livelier. It was clear they were very welcomed by everyone.
"Sorry, sorry!"
"On the way, I met a grandmother pushing a heavy cart, so I took her home first. It seems it hasn't started yet, that's great!"
Kamado Tanjiro, who had grown quite a bit, held hands with his sister Nezuko Kamado, who had grown into a graceful young woman, and came before everyone with an embarrassed face to explain.
He was now about 1.8 meters tall, about a head taller than Nezuko Kamado, and his physique also appeared very Strong.
Only his clear Gaze and gentle Smile had not changed in the slightest.
"As expected of Tanjiro!"
"He's really so gentle. Hey, Tanjiro, why don't you consider me? I'm very willing to marry you~"
A Girl from Wano Island said jokingly.
"Ah, this..."
Tanjiro immediately turned bright red and stammered, a bit at a loss.
At this moment, Nezuko Kamado stepped forward with a Smile on her face.
"Thank you everyone for taking care of my Older Brother. If any older sister takes a liking to my Older Brother, as his younger sister, I'm very happy to communicate with everyone about his preferences."
"Nezuko Kamado!"
Tanjiro became even more embarrassed and quickly signaled her not to say anymore.
But unexpectedly, those Girls snatched Nezuko Kamado away from his hand and took her aside, where they started chatting enthusiastically.
"Ah, you bastards! I told you, Nezuko Kamado is my girlfriend!"
Suddenly, Zenitsu Agatsuma's menacing Roar attracted Tanjiro's attention.
This made Tanjiro Shake Head helplessly.
He was also very puzzled about this matter.
He didn't know what Nezuko Kamado was thinking, but she actually agreed last year to be Zenitsu Agatsuma's girlfriend.
"Hurry and come sit down properly, Idiot Tanjiro!"
On the other side, Inosuke Hashibira, wearing a wild boar mask on his head and with his arms crossed over his Chest, sat cross-legged on the ground carelessly and shouted towards Tanjiro, who was standing there foolishly.
"Oh oh oh, okay, okay..."
Tanjiro quickly ran over and sat down next to him, saying with a smile, "I really didn't expect that we'd see such a big Scene when we're about to graduate."
The few of them were already seventeen years old, and in another two months, they would be eighteen.
By then, according to Master Yudao's regulations, they could choose to join a certain Department of the World Government.
For example, the Marines, Army, Air Force, or even Cipher Pol, the Ministry of Police Affairs, or the Sea Ninja Village.
They could also stay at Master Yudao's dojo and become Swordsmanship Teachers, continuing to wholeheartedly study Swordsmanship, or they could leave directly and go wherever they wanted.
After all, World is so big, there are always some people who want to see the world.
At this moment, Inosuke Hashibira suddenly said in a low voice, "Tanjiro, I'm thinking if the Army is more suitable for me."
"Ah?"
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment and turned his Gaze from the Virtual Screen to the other person in surprise: "Didn't we agree to join the Ministry of Police Affairs together, combat Criminals, and protect the Citizens?"
"Alright then."
Inosuke Hashibira also didn't really want to separate from everyone in his Heart.
It was just that seeing Genya Shinazugawa, who was graduating this year, join the Army to catch up to his Older Brother's Footwork, he felt a little moved in his Heart.
"Besides, I heard the Army is managed very strictly. You probably wouldn't feel very comfortable, right?"
Tanjiro felt that Inosuke's Personality was not very suitable for joining the Military. Otherwise, before the officer even gives the Order, you'd just charge forward yelling.
Then there's an eighty percent chance you'd either die by an enemy's Blade or die under Military Law...
"That's true..."
Inosuke Hashibira thought about it and felt that what he said also made sense.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 654: I want to fight, I need to fight!
Kabaneri World.
A place that sounds like it's from a very distant past.
But in fact, only four years have passed since the Star Gate opened.
Under the influence of the World Government, this World has undergone tremendous changes in all aspects.
Since the World Government decided to designate this vast and sparsely populated World as a 'Natural Resource Development Cooperation World'.
Ninety percent of the Men, Women, Old and Young throughout Hinamoto are engaged in related work in this area.
Planting Grain and Fruit Trees, raising poultry and livestock, and going out to sea to fish.
Cutting down trees and planting trees, mining Ore, and so on, have become the main industries of the entire World.
Now in Hinamoto, large areas of Farmland can be seen everywhere, with farmers diligently working in them.
However, the World Government's Agriculture Department later discovered through Investigation.
The overall terrain of Hinamoto is mainly mountainous and hilly, and the area of Plain suitable for cultivation is not large.
Although it is sufficient for now, if the Scale is to be expanded further in the Future, the Continent across the sea must be developed.
And Population.
The previous 'Kabaneri World disaster' left the entire Hinamoto with a Population of less than two million.
So the World Government issued an Order to the Shogunate in Kongokaku.
They were required to vigorously advocate and support Citizens having more children.
For example, giving a certain Prize Money as Encouragement for each healthy Child born.
They even built officially managed kindergartens to help parents who need to work take care of their Children.
As for Funding, the World Government could be responsible for half.
Yotsugawa Ayame naturally would not refuse this Requirement.
As a result, a large number of newborn babies have emerged in Station Cities across Hinamoto in just a few years.
Who doesn't like having children?
The key is that they even give you money to help raise them, so why not?
So now, even Inside Kongokaku Fortress, a large number of crying sounds of babies can be heard every night.
It is worth mentioning that Yotsugawa Ayame also gave birth to Kurusu's Child last year.
It was a Son, named Kōtai Yomogawa.
The reason he took his mother's surname is, firstly, because Kurusu was originally a Civilian with no surname of his own, and secondly, strictly speaking, he became a son-in-law of the Yomokawa Family.
At this moment.
Inside the Shogun's Mansion in Kongokaku.
Yotsugawa Ayame sat beside her husband, Kurusu, watching the Virtual Screen projected by the Den Den Mushi together.
Not far away, a chubby baby lay in a specially made cradle bed, being carefully looked after by two Maids.
"Since the World Government allows the Country in the Imperial Arms World to join the Affiliation, it might mean that this channel has been opened. Perhaps we can also try to apply."
Kurusu, wearing a dark blue Kimono, said thoughtfully.
He looked more mature now, and had a thick beard.
This was thanks to the 'Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum'.
Since receiving the Injection, his Body has become increasingly healthy and Strong, and he can now use the Scythe-Scythe Fruit Ability normally.
This also made him the Shogunate's Strongest in name and in fact.
The reason he cannot be called the 'Strongest Kabaneri', is naturally due to the existence of Mima Amatori.
In fact, they were initially very averse to using 'Kabaneri World' as the representative Term for their World.
But when the World Government refused their request to change the World's Code Name, they could only reluctantly accept this reality.
Several years passed like this, and everyone has slowly gotten used to it.
"Joining the World Government, huh? But will the World Government allow us to be a national Entity?"
Yotsugawa Ayame hesitated.
Although Hinamoto currently retains the Shogunate's autonomy, it is essentially no different from a colony of the World Government.
The Control Ability they exert over them is far greater than that over the various Countries in the Demon Slayer World.
It is only slightly more lenient than Paradis Island in the Titan World.
The reason for this has been mentioned before.
It is because the World Government regards the Kabaneri World as the main Grain importing World.
After all, it is something to be eaten, so the control must be stricter.
Kurusu said, "Let's try. We can also see the World Government's Attitude towards us."
"Okay."
Since having a Child, Ayame's Personality has become increasingly gentle, possibly influenced by motherhood.
She has also become more compliant with Kurusu's political suggestions.
"Also, we can try to strive for the Qualification to form a Legion. The Demon Slayer World can form an Auxiliary Legion, and our Kabaneri World can too."
"Even if the number of people is smaller, it doesn't matter. I will personally lead the team then, and we will definitely be able to obtain more Military Merit!"
Kurusu hesitated for a moment before finally expressing his thoughts.
As a skilled Samurai, he had truly had enough of a Life where he was either dealing with daily necessities or resolving trivial Conflicts among the Citizens.
Even though he maintained high-intensity Swordsmanship Training/Exercise every day, he could still feel his Body and Spirit wearing away day by day.
Only when Sparring with the Samurai under his command could he slightly Vent his frustration.
But those Samurai were, firstly, too weak compared to him in Strength, and secondly, they didn't dare to go all out due to the disparity in status.
Now that he had a Child, Kurusu felt that he should also pursue the path of a Samurai.
However, as soon as he said this, it startled Yotsugawa Ayame.
"What!"
"You want to participate in the World Government's War?"
"No way!"
This wife, who had just become a mother and was also a Female Shogun, suddenly became very firm, revealing her resolute Attitude.
"Ah—"
Kurusu let out a long sigh, "Ayame, you have to understand, I am a Samurai. A Samurai needs combat. If I continue living in such ease, I'll become useless..."
"But you are not just a Samurai, you are also my husband, and Kōtai's Father!"
Yotsugawa Ayame suddenly Stand Up, looking at Kurusu, who was sitting cross-legged on the Tatami, with Anger on her Face.
"If something happens to you, what will happen to me? What will happen to Kōtai? He can't even remember what you look like yet!"
Kurusu explained, "You know my Swordsmanship Skill. Moreover, my Physique is comparable to that of a Sea Star Person, plus the Strength of the Devil Fruit, it's not that easy for something to happen."
"But that's an Otherworld War! Even the World Government's Army General can die there! What makes you think you're foolproof?!"
Yotsugawa Ayame's face flushed with anger.
She had always been a perfect wife, not completely obedient to her husband, but certainly gentle and considerate. This was truly the first time she had gotten so angry at Kurusu.
"Cough cough, since it's a War, there's definitely a Risk. But it's risky combat that can arouse a Samurai's Hot Blood."
Kurusu slowly stood up, gently wrapped his arms around Ayame's slender waist, and sincerely looked at her angry pretty face, making his request from the bottom of his Heart.
"This Life is too much Suffering for me. I want to fight, I need to fight. It's not just me, many Samurai below are the same."
Indeed, although most of the Hinamoto People enjoy their current well-fed and well-clothed days, there is always a group of belligerent people who want a more exciting Life.
Especially the Samurai group.
Kabaneri World is too safe now. Even if something really goes wrong someday, it won't be their turn to handle it; the relevant departments of the World Government will be responsible for handling it.
"I didn't expect that being with me made you feel so much Suffering..."
Yotsugawa Ayame's eyes turned red, tears welled up from her Eyes, and her Heart hurt as if someone had squeezed it hard.
"Huh?"
"No, I didn't mean that being with you is Suffering, but that I'm Suffering because there's no combat!"
Kurusu became flustered when he saw his wife crying.
It was the first time he had seen Ayame shed tears, and he didn't expect that she would misunderstand his meaning.
While this young couple was crying and arguing, they didn't notice that there was a new change on the Virtual Screen. On the vast white Snowfield, a patch of purple Radiance suddenly bloomed...
Chapter 655: The Guardian Deity Machine Finally Appears!
The cold wind howled within the Ice-Sealed Port covered in white snow.
On the wide Plaza ground, a Taiji Four Trigrams Diagram suddenly appeared, slowly rotating and emitting a faint Purple Light.
It covered an extremely large area, estimated to be a hundred meters in diameter.
This scene caused the various Audience who were paying attention to subconsciously hold their breath, their eyes wide with anticipation for the scene about to appear.
They were also curious whether this was the work of the World Government or a move from the Imperial Arms World side.
Even King, who was at High Altitude acting as Adjutant to command the Air Fleet on behalf of Kaido, was now wearing a blue Coat of Justice and silently observing from the command tower of an Aerospace Carrier.
"Oh, looks like the other side's people have arrived~"
At this moment, a lazy, drawn-out remark came from behind King.
On the Sofa, which had been empty just a second ago, Admiral Kizaru appeared, sitting with his legs crossed, as a faint Golden Light dissipated.
"Admiral Kizaru?"
King turned around to look at him and asked, "Aren't you participating in the Combat below?"
"Well, that depends on the situation. Mainly, Kuzan made it too cold down there, so I came here to warm myself up~"
Borsalino replied with something that left King somewhat confused.
What did he mean, "depends on the situation"?
But King seemed to understand his inexplicable words and said softly, "So that's it..."
On the other side.
When the Purple Light below suddenly dissipated after a brief burst, the figure that appeared next caused the countless Audience in front of the screens to instantly stare in astonishment, and also made the World Government's Military and Political High Command's Gaze turn serious.
"Oh—it's actually this big. Even the Giant Tribe looks tiny in front of it. How terrifying~~"
Borsalino raised his Right Hand and pointed at the Screen Feed, his Expression one of utter surprise.
This made it hard for King to tell if he was genuinely shocked or just acting.
At the same time.
On the high-definition Screen Feed, a super-giant Human Form figure appeared, standing on the Ice-Sealed Plaza Earth, capable of overlooking the entire Port.
Its Body Size definitely exceeded two hundred meters, even approaching three hundred meters in Height.
It was completely enveloped in an enormous dark blue Cape, wore a large military cap composed of blue, white, and gold, and underneath, a pitch-black, shiny Metal Armor.
An invisible Aura, suffocatingly oppressive, spread out in all directions like a tide.
It was as if a supreme Demon King had descended, ruling over all Authority on the Earth, displaying its powerful and overbearing Aura to the fullest.
Its appearance also triggered a large amount of discussion and Exclamation from all sides.
"So this is The Empire's Supreme Imperial Arm, the Guardian Deity Machine... Supreme Throne? It does look quite interesting..."
On the Sea Star Mainland, Kong sat in the Commander-in-Chief's Office with his arms crossed, looking at the Screen Feed on the Virtual Screen and clicking his tongue in wonder.
Meanwhile, Sengoku, on another Virtual Screen, frowned deeply, looking somewhat worried.
"Garp and the others need to be careful. According to the Intelligence from the Five Elders, this Guardian Deity Machine can release Energy Bullets far more powerful than the Steam Explosion of the previous 'Colossal Titan'.
"Especially now that it's been confirmed that these Super Dangerous Beasts from the Imperial Arms World possess Natural Energy that functions like Armament Haki.
"Then this Supreme Imperial Arm, which is said to be made using an entire Super Dangerous Beast as Materials, is highly likely to also be able to use this Natural Energy. Sakazuki must be careful to avoid it!"
Kong, however, laughed heartily after hearing this.
"Combat isn't just about who has greater Destructive Power. Garp and the others are seasoned veterans; let them handle it themselves. This Old Man trusts them!"
On the other side.
Everyone seemed to have missed it, but not far from the massive Guardian Deity Machine, or rather, near its right foot, there was actually a 'tiny' figure.
This person wore a loose, wine-red scholar's robe covered in complex Golden Markings, and had long, shoulder-length hair that was incredibly curly.
It was none other than Dean Isaac from the Truth Alchemy Academy of the Alchemy Kingdom, and also the first Stigma Alchemist in a thousand years to come into contact with 'Truth'.
Dean Isaac inexplicably sighed, "Your Majesty, your 'Dimensional Array' is indeed convenient, but it's a pity about the 'Shangri-La Golden Silk Divine Monkey' from back then..."
The current Imperial Emperor inside the Guardian Deity Machine snorted coldly.
"Hmph, the great First Emperor acted with his own Principle. Do not be rude!"
However, his State of Mind seemed a bit strange; his Personality had become much more irritable than before. Dean Isaac smiled helplessly and then changed the subject.
"I wonder if that Yami Sword Saint from the Kamiwa Side will come. I heard he was previously defeated by a certain Swordsman from the World Government. I suppose that Swordsman will also appear this time?"
In Dean Isaac's view, a Swordsman capable of defeating Yejian Tsukahara must also be an incredible Top Tier Combatant within the World Government.
"Whether he comes or not is irrelevant. As long as that Divine Dragon comes to assist in battle!"
The Imperial Emperor, full of displeasure, leaped up. Immediately, the enormous 'mecha' soared into the air and landed on the even wider Earth in the distance.
This seemingly simple action caused a terrifying Commotion.
The Plaza ground, which had been Frozen solid like Steel by the Frost, shattered like a thin layer of Glass amidst a Roaring Sound.
However, he seemed completely unconcerned about the safety of Dean Isaac, who was close by.
This was because the Emperor had already learned about the Shenhe Island Nation's surrender to the World Government, which had put him in an extremely foul mood.
Of course, The Empire's action of secretly dispatching a Diplomatic Delegation before the other two countries wasn't exactly honorable either.
But who would think they did something wrong?
"It seems the Secret Tradition was right. This Guardian Deity Machine does have a negative impact on one's Spirit..."
Dean Isaac thought to himself as he gazed at the massive figure in the distance.
He was surrounded by a layer of rotating, thick Air Current, which blocked all incoming Shockwaves and Ice Stone Fragments.
Even though bottomless Ground Fissures appeared beneath his feet, he floated in Mid-air without a care.
He then flew rapidly towards the Guardian Deity Machine. With his State of Mind, he wouldn't get angry over such a minor Matter.
Next, he had to assist the Emperor in 'Friendly Sparring' with the Powerhouses of the World Government.
"Hmm?"
As Dean Isaac flew up to the Guardian Deity Machine's midsection, he immediately sensed a change in the Dark Clouds above.
He looked up.
Indeed, he saw a Green Dragon with Pale Hair coiling within the Black Clouds. This brought a look of Delight to both his and the Emperor's faces.
The Divine Dragon had arrived!
Although they had heard from the Shenhe Island Nation that the Divine Dragon would bring other Super Dangerous Beasts to assist in battle, who knew if it would actually come in the end.
After all, even Humans aren't always trustworthy, let alone a group of non-human beings?
Seeing its arrival with their own eyes finally set their Heart completely at ease.
At this moment, a gradually enlarging black dot appeared in their Line of Sight. It was Yomi Tsukahara, Sword Saint, Freefalling from the Cloud Layer!
The strong wind and biting cold at High Altitude continuously buffeted his Body.
However, other than making his White Robe Samurai Attire flap fiercely, these seemed to have no effect on him personally.
Only when he was less than a thousand meters from the snowy Earth did a large amount of white clouds surge from Yomi Tsukahara, Sword Saint's Body, causing his rapidly diving Body to slowly decelerate.
Then, the clouds floated down to his feet, forming a Cloud Mass to support him.
"This is..."
Both Dean Isaac and the Emperor were startled. Did this God and Sword Saint possess such a Supernatural Ability?
Thank you to Hall Master crf6r for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 656: The World Government's Six Highest Combat Powers!
A moment later.
Yami Sword Saint slowly descended on the white clouds beneath his feet, reaching roughly the same Height as Dean Isaac.
They were not rulers of a country; being level with The Empire's Emperor would indeed be inappropriate.
"His Majesty the Imperial Emperor, Dean Isaac, I am Yomi Tsukahara, the Tenth Stage Sword Saint of Shinwa Country. It is an honor to meet you both."
"Good."
The Emperor, controlling the Guardian Deity Machine, nodded. His Attitude seemed somewhat cold, and his Gaze remained fixed on the Divine Dragon that was sometimes visible, sometimes hidden within the Dark Clouds.
His mood at this moment was excited.
Because among the successive Emperors since the First Emperor a thousand years ago, only he had the opportunity to meet this Divine Dragon face-to-face in the Posture of the 'Guardian Deity Machine'.
"Sword Saint, may I ask if you are using some kind of Imperial Arms Ability?"
At this moment, Dean Isaac, who was enveloped in Air Current, looked curiously at the Cloud Mass beneath the other party's feet and inquired.
"Heh heh, this is not Underworld Treasure Power."
Yejian Tsukahara shook his head in denial, but he had no intention of hiding it. After all, everyone would be fighting together later.
"This Old Man was fortunate enough to be bestowed with Dragon Blood by Lord Shenlong. Although I went through a quite dangerous and painful process, I ultimately succeeded in adapting to the Brutality of the Dragon Blood."
Dean Isaac suddenly understood after hearing this.
It turned out that Yami Sword Saint, like Esdeath, had drunk the most primitive Blood of Super Dangerous Species, thus possessing some of the Divine Dragon's Ability.
He was now essentially a so-called 'Dragon Blood Warrior'.
At this moment, the Divine Dragon in the Dark Clouds suddenly extended its seemingly aged Dragon Head, examining the Guardian Deity Machine below and letting out a faint sigh of emotion.
"It's truly nostalgic. I never expected to see it again one day. But Time has passed, the Vast Sea has turned into mulberry fields, and everything has changed."
It was just that the image of the First Emperor in its mind was somewhat blurred.
A thousand years was quite a long Time even for a Divine Dragon that had lived for less than two thousand years.
"Respected Divine Dragon, when will the other Venerables arrive?"
The Emperor inside the Guardian Deity Machine, after scanning the surroundings, asked the Matter he was most concerned about.
He knew that in this Sparring match, it would be best if they didn't win, but under this premise, they still hoped to showcase the Strength of their world to the World Government as much as possible.
Because only Strength could earn Importance and Respect, while also avoiding many unnecessary troubles.
As for the title of Venerable.
They couldn't very well call them Super Dangerous Beasts to their faces, as that Term actually carried a certain derogatory meaning.
"The moment This Old Man appeared, it meant they were all already here," the Divine Dragon said leisurely, looking meaningfully at the Guardian Deity Machine.
"Oh?"
The Emperor, Dean Isaac, and Yomi Tsukahara, Sword Saint were all greatly surprised. They immediately began to carefully observe every corner of the surroundings again.
But no matter how they looked, or even released their Mental Power, attempting to perceive through Aura, they found nothing.
"Could it be..."
At this moment, the Imperial Emperor had a Speculation in his Heart. After all, Demon Armor Transformation was originally their Imperial Arms.
Immediately after, they saw the Divine Dragon open its mouth and call out: "Come out, Bulat, Heimalin!"
[Rumble————]
The next moment, on the Snowfield about four hundred meters away from the three, a Monster quickly appeared, about fifty meters tall, with snow-white Hair, a mouth full of Fangs, and two pairs of scarlet eyes on its face.
Looking at its overall Entity, it resembled a standing large Snow Wolf, however, it had a pair of rough white Bat Wings on its back.
It looked like a Flying Dragon, and also like a Demon...
It was the Biological Material provider for the Imperial Arms 'Demon Armor Transformation', one of the Super Dangerous Beasts, Bulat, who held the Epithet 'Demon'.
However, in Shinwa Country, it was called 'Arlong', and in Alchemy Kingdom, it was called 'Demonic Dragon'.
It was just that this legendary ferocious Monster stood there quietly, completely ignoring them.
Perhaps it was due to an introverted Personality, or perhaps disdain?
[Boom————]
At the same time, on the Ocean outside the Island, a giant Marlin with a long, pointed Upper Jaw and black Scales/Armor suddenly burst out of the Sea Surface and leaped into Mid-air, letting out a Roar filled with Fighting Intent.
"This King is here!!"
The intense Sound Wave formed visible Ripples in the Air, sweeping out in all directions.
[Boom!]
Finally, it heavily crashed back into the surging Sea Waves, instantly maximizing its presence before the Audience from all Worlds.
This made the Emperor even more delighted.
With this, they now had three Super Dangerous Beasts on their side, and there should also be a 'Nine-Tailed White Fox'. So, he waited with full expectation for the appearance of the last one.
However, Time passed little by little, but there was still no Commotion.
This left the Emperor confused, and he immediately asked, "Divine Dragon Venerable, where is White Fox Venerable?"
Dean Isaac also scanned various places with Doubt, and then noticed the strange Expression of Yomi Tsukahara, Sword Saint beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong?"
"Cough cough..."
Yejian Tsukahara shook his head helplessly and did not answer.
"Hong Lian was captured by the World Government people, so This Old Man still needs to ask them about this Matter!"
The Divine Dragon's tone carried Anger as it coldly looked towards the Warship Fleet on the distant Sea Surface and the Air Fleet further above, a Cold Light flashing in its Gaze.
To it, these Super Dangerous Beasts were both its juniors and Partners it had spent thousands of years with.
Therefore, the Matter of Hong Lian made it very angry.
Later, it would definitely seek an explanation from the World Government!
"..."
Hearing this News, the Emperor and others immediately fell silent. A dignified Super Dangerous Beast was actually Captured Alive?
Such a feat, in their World, was only achieved by the First Emperor a thousand years ago with the Strength of the entire country.
However, with this.
All the Members participating in the Combat from the Imperial Arms World were present.
The current Emperor of The Empire who activated the 'Supreme Imperial Arm' Guardian Deity Machine, Dean Isaac, the Stigma Alchemist of the Alchemy Kingdom, and the Strongest Dragon Blood Sword Saint of Shenhe Island Nation.
Plus the three great Super Dangerous Beasts: 'Divine Dragon' Shen He, 'Poseidon' Heimalin, and 'Demon' Bulat.
That's right.
The Divine Dragon's Name was actually Shen He. Shenhe Island Nation named the country after it out of worship.
As for Bud, Akame, Kurome, Gozuchi, and other Experts from The Empire, the Eighth Dan and Ninth Dan Great Swordsmen from Shenhe Island Nation, and the Senior Alchemists from the Alchemy Kingdom.
They didn't even have the Qualification to participate in the Combat.
To put it more bluntly, even Dean Isaac and Yomi Tsukahara, Sword Saint were only responsible for assisting the Emperor's Guardian Deity Machine.
So, what about the World Government side?
"Puhahahaha, this is truly Blood Boiling! What do you say, Newgate?!"
At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the other side of the Island, causing everyone's Line of Sight to instantly shift over.
"Gurahahahaha—Gurahahahaha—"
"The Highest Combat Power from the Otherworld, I'm quite looking forward to it. I hope they can let This Old Man fight to my Heart's content!"
"Worororo~~"
"Whitebeard, we agreed, that Dragon up there is mine!"
"As you like, I don't like going up into the sky..."
Six figures of varying Body Size were seen walking slowly in a line amidst the howling Wind and Snow, chatting casually.
Their entrance Momentum was far less spectacular and astonishing than that of the Imperial Arms World side.
But the terrifying Aura emanating from each person made the Divine Dragon, Bulat, Heimalin, and the other 'Humans' feel an unprecedented Sense of Oppression.
Soon, the Distance between the two sides closed, and they saw the appearance of the six people.
From left to right.
Marine Headquarters Admiral 'Aokiji' Kuzan, wearing a Blue Suit and a White Justice Coat, and an eye patch on his forehead!
Army Headquarters Admiral Akainu Sakazuki, wearing a Red Suit, a Black Coat, and a black Army cap!
Marine Headquarters Admiral 'Iron Fist' Monkey D. Garp, wearing a Black Suit and a White Justice Coat!
Command Department 'Honorary Admiral', King of the Whitebeard Kingdom, Edward Newgate, with his muscular Chest bare in the Cold Wind and Snow, wearing a White Justice Coat, and holding a large Naginata!
Admiral (Air Force Headquarters) 'Azure Dragon' Kaido, wearing a Purple Suit and a Blue Justice Coat, and Admiral (Air Force Headquarters) 'Kizaru' Borsalino, wearing a Yellow Suit and also a Blue Justice Coat!
The World Government's Six Highest Combat Powers, Watched by All, Reporting for Duty.
Thank you very much to the Helmsman named Ran Ran for the 1500 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 657: Even More Violent Strength!
"Where's BIG MOM?"
"This Old Man thought she would fight in place of Borsalino."
Inside the Room of Authority in the Holy Land Mary Geoise on the Sea Star Mainland.
Saint Topman Warcury sat on a jade-green Sofa with golden edges, looking doubtfully at Saint Jaygarcia Saturn beside him.
"Cough, cough, she just gave birth to a boy and a girl and needs three months to rest."
"Hmm, which tribe is it this time?"
"Snake-Neck Tribe."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who is in charge of Intelligence, answered Saint Topman Warcury expressionlessly on behalf of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.
"Alright."
The latter had nothing more to say and could only silently continue looking at the large Virtual Screen in the High Altitude.
They saw Garp, Newgate, and the other six people had stopped after walking to a spot about two hundred meters away from the Supreme Imperial Arm.
The two sides stared at each other, neither taking the initiative to greet the other.
This caused the Atmosphere In the Court to gradually become awkward.
"Puhahahaha, as for greetings, let's talk after the fight! Talking now is pointless!"
Suddenly, Garp tilted his Neck back and laughed loudly.
Although his words sounded a bit reckless, both sides felt it was a good idea.
Given their Status and Strength, Combat was indeed a way to quickly Familiarize with each other.
This was also the Communication method between Powerhouses!
"Ararara, then I'll go first~"
Kuzan nodded, and after speaking, instantly turned into an Afterimage and disappeared from the spot.
With a Speed so fast that many people couldn't even see it clearly, he swept towards the Sea Surface outside the Island.
According to the simple discussion among the few people earlier, his Opponent was still the 'Great Marlin' Heimalin.
The only difference was...
This Time, there would be no third-party interference!
"Wororo~~"
Kaido took a large gulp of high-Intensity Alcohol from his large Wine Gourd into his mouth and laughed wildly.
"Well said, extremely well said! Let's just start fighting!"
He then put the Wine Gourd back on his Waist and placed the Kanabo in his hand behind his back.
Finally, carrying a strong Alcohol Scent, he suddenly leaped into the High Altitude.
"Owwwww----"
With a Dragon Roar directed at the Sky, Kaido quickly activated the Devil Fruit Ability within his Body.
His entire Figure, Watched by All, transformed at a Speed visible to the naked eye into a true Green Dragon with dark blue Scales/Armor, black Hair, and roaring Flame wrapped around its Limbs!
Although his Body Size was about one-third smaller than the other 'Green Dragon', Shen He, in the Dark Clouds.
But the surging Aura all over his Body and the fervent Fighting Intent in his eyes did not give anyone the slightest Feeling that he was at a disadvantage compared to the other party!
Coupled with the aged temperament carrying Twilight Intent on Shen He.
It gave everyone a Deja Vu of a young Divine Dragon full of Qi challenging another aged Divine Dragon.
"Come and fight!"
"Oh, Green Dragon from the Otherworld, Worororo~~~"
Kaido let out an earth-shattering Roar that echoed in all directions and a wildly Excitement laugh.
Again, again, and again, he sincerely rejoiced that he had made the Decision to join the World Government back then.
Otherwise, where would he find such a Hot Blood-pumping Combat today!
"Kizaru Kid, aren't you going to follow?"
Garp glanced at Borsalino, who was still standing beside Newgate and hadn't moved.
Because according to the division among the few people earlier, this Kid was supposed to deal with the Old Azure Dragon, whose Strength was said to be comparable to Newgate's current Strength, together with Kaido.
After all, if that were truly the case, Kaido himself definitely wouldn't be able to defeat it.
"Mr. Garp, that Old Dragon looks really scary~"
Borsalino put his hands in the Pocket of his striped yellow trousers, looking up with a crooked mouth at the two large Green Dragons about to collide in the Sky.
"And you see how Excitement he is, if I interfere now, he'll probably be very unhappy, so I'll just watch from the side for now~"
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire being underwent Photon Transformation, then turned into a brilliant Golden Beam and flew up.
However, his Direction was a bit off; it was clear he wasn't heading towards Kaido.
"This Kid hasn't changed at all even after joining the Air Force. It seems Zephyr has no Method against him, puhahaha!"
Garp was amused by Borsalino's thoughts and actions.
"Then..."
Sakazuki, without smiling, pulled down the brim of his hat slightly, then strode with his long legs slowly towards Bulat in the Distance.
That's right.
His Opponent was the Flying Dragon Type Super Danger Beast Bulat, known as 'Demon (Title)' and 'Arlong'!
Thus.
Garp and Newgate's Target was clear: it was the three-person Group (Unit) opposite them: the Imperial Guardian Mech, the Stigma Alchemist, and the God and Sword Saint!
"I really didn't expect This Old Man would have a day fighting alongside you..."
Garp glanced at Edward Newgate beside him and suddenly sighed with emotion.
Scenes of fighting alongside Roger against Rocks back then, and fighting alongside Sengoku against Shiki, appeared one by one in his mind.
Although they had also participated together in the War of Conquest against the Titan World before.
But that was Large Army Combat, which was different from now.
"Gurahaha!"
Edward Newgate, holding the already repaired 'Murakumogiri', laughed and said, "It's quite novel indeed. Don't you, this Marines Veteran, hold me back!"
Just then, the surrounding Ice and Snow World and the Cold Wind carrying snow suddenly became stained with a terrifying Aura.
They saw that the Imperial Guardian Mech opposite was condensing a ball of increasingly dazzling Red Energy Bullet in its mouth.
The Emperor of The Empire launched the attack first!
"Puhahaha, then let's see who holds whom back----"
However, facing the Aura assailing the Sky, Garp laughed back carelessly.
The next second.
They saw that the moment the huge Energy Mass roared down from the Sky, he stomped and burst the incredibly hard Frozen Earth beneath him.
Amidst the snow mist that was stirred up everywhere, he shot out like an oversized Cannonball, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
Only then did the deafening Sonic Boom in Newgate's ears.
Looking at Garp again, a visible conical Sonic Boom Cloud had formed around him, and his powerful Qi Energy plowed a long, broken deep furrow in the Snowfield.
"Gurahaha, you've gotten a bit Stronger again, you Bastard Veteran!"
Seeing this, Newgate's Fighting Intent surged in his Heart. Facing the huge Energy Bullet that had flown before him and covered the Sky, he quickly swung the 'Murakumogiri' in his hand.
[Buzz----]
They saw that on its crescent-shaped Sharpness Blade, first appeared a layer of pitch black emitting a Black Glow, then a bright white Halo converged, and at the same time, crackling Red Lightning bloomed forth.
"Ha!"
Newgate glared and roared, angrily slashing a Blade towards the Red Energy Bullet that was smashing down like a divine mountain suppressing everything.
[Roar!]
A shocking Scene that made all the Spectators greatly astonished appeared.
The huge Aura Energy Mass with a Diameter of nearly a hundred meters was actually blocked by the Blade of 'Murakumogiri' from a Space Distance of over ten meters away.
[Crack, crack, crack...]
Strands of spiderweb-like white cracks appeared along with a harsh Sound like Glass shattering.
They appeared in the thick Air that was squeezed and distorted by two incredibly Strong Forces.
Furthermore, dense Red Lightning wildly overflowed in all directions.
"Ahhhhhh, remember, I am... 'Whitebeard'!"
The Muscle on Newgate's Arm further expanded in his Roar.
His bulging Veins and Blood Vessels bulged like thick pythons, and even more violent Strength vented from within his Body.
In an instant.
Countless white cracks, amidst the Gale and Qi Energy filling the Sky, spread towards the surface of the Red Energy Mass...
