Chapter 260: The True Demon Slaying Warship Noah's Ark!
The situation in Wano Country was just as Mihawk had said; it was basically under the World Government's control.
Next, Kaido and King would continue to stay on Onigashima, maintaining a Posture as if ready to counterattack the Flower Capital at any moment. This was to make the Citizens rely more on the Protection of the Warship amidst the threat, while also quickly accepting the new General from overseas.
In fact, the Citizens had no other choice.
After all.
Kozuki was dead, and the Daimyo were gone.
The History of this Country had completely turned a new page, leaving them no choice but to face the unknown Future.
From then on, the World Government's Flag flew freely with the Wind atop Shogun Castle (formerly Orochi Castle).
Meanwhile.
The outside World was also developing non-stop.
For example, Chinjao, who had successfully arrived at Fish-Man Island, endured Garp's mocking laughter, and finally had his Drill Head restored by another Iron Fist punch, had already set off for the Red Line.
He needed to report to Zephyr at the Military and Political Department first, as all Army Military Academy Instructors were under Zephyr's command, and he, the soon-to-be Hasshoken Instructor at the Army Military Academy, was naturally no exception.
It's worth mentioning that the Command Department, Military and Political Department, and Staff Department are all located in Area RL1550, as this is the location of the Supreme Military Command.
At the same time, Zephyr's Asthma had been treated, which Represented the restoration of 'Black Arm's' Combat Power!
On Fish-Man Island's side, with Kuzan's Awakening and return, Garp naturally had to return to Marineford.
After all, with Sengoku's promotion to Fleet Admiral, he was the only 'Iron Fist' Admiral left in the entire Marines and could no longer leave Marine Headquarters as he pleased.
This was truly difficult for Garp, who was used to running around freely.
Thus, Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, and Tsuru, these old comrades from the same generation, had achieved the accomplishment of all reaching the Admiral Rank!
But even so, the positions of Admiral in both the Marines and the Army were still vacant.
The Marines still needed two Admirals, and the Army still needed one Admiral.
Among them, Sakazuki's Strength had not reached the Highest Combat Power level, while Byrnndi World, the Admiral who was about to take office, could only possess Highest Combat Power for twelve hours every few days.
From this perspective, the Army currently didn't have a single proper Admiral.
This was essentially taking too big a step.
Fortunately, the current World Government was not in urgent need of a full roster of Admirals, so there was still Time to wait for the growth of Sakazuki, Borsalino, and others.
RL1556.
This Zone held special significance for the World Government, as it housed the Star Gate Base of No.0001 Kabaneri World.
Today.
A group of special guests would arrive here.
[Swish——————]
The Electric Gate quickly opened to the left and right with a unique sound. Soon, a group of personnel who had undergone the complete disinfection process walked out.
Most of them wore neat White Coats, various Styles of Glasses on their Faces, and exuded an aura called 'Wisdom' and 'Knowledge'.
However, a few Man in Black were mixed among them, which was quite noticeable.
"Hmm, so this is Another World, it doesn't feel much different~"
A small Girl, though with a very cute Face, stood with her hands clasped behind her back, her eyes curiously surveying the surrounding Building.
This was Hozumi, formerly Mumei, who had now reverted to her real name. She was also the 'Female Lead' of Kabaneri World and a current Member of the CIPHER POL - Nue Squad.
Speaking of which, she was only twelve years old this year. Logically, at this age, she should be undergoing Secret Training on Kona Island, just like Who's-Who, Jabura, and the others.
But a recent new discovery exempted these Kabaneri from this arduous Training.
Namely, these half-human, half-Kabane beings could not naturally improve their Body's physical fitness through normal exercise. The reason was that their Bodies had already been 'burned' by the Kabaneri Virus, and they could only maintain vitality by Drinking Blood.
This was a discovery that Mima Amatori had personally verified through Experiment!
It was quite Despairing, as it seemed to Represent that their Strength had reached its limit...
Therefore.
CIPHER POL Headquarters decided to have Hozumi, Mekko, and Blue Heart accompany the Researcher from the Biochemical Research Institute back to the Sea Star Mainland for theoretical and technical training.
After all, since they had become Agents, they still needed to learn the necessary Knowledge.
As for the Biochemical Research Institute, it was because the Research on the Kabaneri Virus had basically concluded. The subsequent work could be carried out with the Materials at the Research Institute on the Homeland.
That is, Level 5.5 of Impel Down.
"There are still some differences; the Air here is very fresh." Ikoma, with green hair, stood beside Hozumi and smiled gently.
Having officially become a Researcher at the Academy of Sciences Weapon Research Institute, he naturally had to come along with the team.
Hearing his words, Hozumi pursed her lips and looked up at the tall boy with a sad Face.
"Ikoma, we're going to be separated now. I heard you're going somewhere very, very far away, and I don't know when we'll see each other again."
"I heard it's a place called Punk Hazard..."
A hint of reluctance showed in Ikoma's eyes, but to keep the Girl from feeling too sad, he quickly took out a Visual Den Den Mushi from his White Coat pocket to comfort her.
"But don't we have this now? We can just contact each other often!"
When they first encountered the Transponder Snail Function, they were completely stunned. The ability to communicate remotely wasn't much; Kabaneri World also had wired communication Equipment.
But this was a Living Organism! The most astonishing thing was that it could even perform what was called Video Call, just like two people Speaking Face to Face.
However, after so many days, as they continuously Experienced Video Call, the feeling of surprise had long faded with the novelty.
The Power of Habit was indeed very Strong.
"Transponder Snails are good, but it's not the same as seeing each other in person. We have to make a Promise that we'll meet at least once a year, and each time we'll spend at least seven days together!"
The little Girl stared intently at Ikoma with her very serious eyes, which made the latter scratch the back of his Head awkwardly and laugh, "Okay, no problem."
"I say, you two have had enough! The people from the Biochemical Research Institute are about to leave!"
At this moment, Steve Gus, the Captain of CP Nue, grew impatient and pointed at Director Fritz, Dr. Shouei, and the others, shouting.
His implied meaning was for Ikoma to hurry up and leave, and stop being so affectionate with his underage team Member; it was sickening to watch!
She was only twelve years old!
Beast!
"Hozumi, please be careful, Promise me!"
"Mhm, I'll try my best to live!"
After the Girl finished Speaking, she stood on her tiptoes, kissed the tall boy on the Face, then turned around and ran towards where Mekko and Blue Heart were.
Ikoma touched the spot where he was kissed and smiled foolishly, then also ran towards the Star Gate Base's Gate.
These 'Male Lead' and 'Female Lead' from Other World were finally about to embark on new journeys and stories in Another World, and in the Future of the Future, it was believed that more 'Protagonists' would appear on this Azure Sea Star...
Meanwhile.
At Holy Land Mariejois, a Super Large Ship so big it covered the entirety of RL0000 floated in the High Altitude. The shadow it cast by blocking the Sun seemed to envelop the entire Red Line, giving people a Strong sense of Megalophobia.
"Not bad, it has that feel!"
Im stood with his hands clasped behind his back, squinting as he examined the Noah's Ark above, which had been painted White. A golden World Government Cross Emblem was printed on the side of the Ship facing him.
According to the Design Blueprint he had seen beforehand, there was another one on the opposite side. At the same time, the Heavenly Soaring Dragon's Hoof Emblem, also golden, was printed on the Ship's Head.
Besides that, it had five layers of Pavilion large enough for the Giant Race to freely enter and exit, and twelve layers of Cabin. Accommodating hundreds of thousands of people should definitely not be a problem, right?
Six of the Cabin layers were Gunport.
Each Gunport layer was divided into four Zone: front, back, upper, and lower. Each layer had seventy Cannon, so one side of the Ship had four hundred and twenty Cannon, and both sides combined had a total of eight hundred and forty Cannon!
"This is the true Demon Slaying Warship. I just don't know how fast its Flight Speed is. With such a large Volume, it probably isn't easy to move, right?"
