**Chapter 851: They Want to See Im!**
The undercurrents surging in the Ninja World were gradually becoming clear as time passed.
They were accumulating Strength, transforming themselves into a giant tidal wave capable of flooding the Desert of the Land of Wind.
Regarding these matters,
Im, residing in the Imperial Arms World as the highest BOSS of the World Government, after reminding the Five Elders to pay attention to Aramaki, focused his Attention on other things.
Alright.
Ultimately, he was still a little worried about Aramaki venturing into Konohagakure alone.
Konoha was still Konoha, after all.
Even if Aramaki's Strength seemed far superior to all the Ninjas, including Hiruzen Sarutobi,
But the endless stream of techniques and Joint Ninjutsu still had the chance to cause him significant trouble.
However, Im could only do so much; the rest was up to Aramaki.
If he truly had the Ability/Skill to suppress Konohagakure alone, then what was the harm in giving him the Army Headquarters Admiral Position?
Although Crocodile had also suppressed and even made the entire Sunagakure submit alone before,
In the Heart of Im, the Transmigrator, how could Sunagakure compare in Weight to Konohagakure?
Even Deidara could break into Sunagakure alone and package up Fukurokuju to take away...
However,
Im felt that even if Aramaki became the third Army Headquarters Admiral first, he wouldn't hold the Position for long.
Because the quadrennial Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament was scheduled for next year.
At the same time, the Summit War would also commence after the Competition concluded.
Crocodile could completely use this opportunity to challenge Araki.
As long as he won, Araki's Admiral Position would have to be replaced!
This was a set of Rules established by Im to ensure the Quality of the 'Highest Combat Power'.
It also gave opportunities to those Admirals who also possessed Potential, Aptitude, or even already had the Strength.
They could challenge the incumbent Admirals during the Summit War!
In this way,
Regardless of who won or lost, the people who could serve as Admirals would definitely be the three Strongest among the Admirals!
As for whether Crocodile could win, Im personally felt there was a lot of Hope.
Inside the Study Room.
Im was concentrating on reviewing the Government Report displayed on the Holographic Image on the Desktop, which was richly illustrated with text and even included video Footage.
At first, he found this Experience quite novel.
This was the working style of 'Iron Man'!
But now, after seeing and using it so much, he had gotten used to the Habit.
The Five Elders below, and the Higher-Ups of the various Departments of the World Government, were much the same.
Only the mid-to-lower level Officials and civil servants, who hadn't been issued Star Den Den Mushi due to limited Output, would still let out exclamations of awe and envious Gazes every time they saw this Holographic Virtual Image.
Let's talk about the specific Situation.
According to the Reports uploaded to the World Government's dedicated office database,
The Entity of both the World and the Other Worlds that had been conquered were in a stage of vigorous high-speed development.
First, regarding the World.
Under the strong Propaganda and promotion of the World Government, more and more Citizens from Small Islands or Small Countries had chosen to move their entire families to reside in the Nine Great City Regions designated on the Red Line.
This added a lot of popularity to the Red Line.
At the same time, the Railway System connecting these Nine Great City Regions had also been initially opened.
The 'Heavy Armored Iron Fortress Technology' originating from the Kabaneri World, after undergoing certain civilian Renovation, resulted in the appearance of two large trains named 'Iron Fortress No. 1' and 'Iron Fortress No. 2'.
The reason they were called large was due to the consideration of the Giant Tribe's existence.
Therefore, the Height of the Train Cars reached an exaggerated thirty meters.
There were even dedicated bunk beds inside prepared for the Giant Tribe.
Of course,
The Railway Department newly established by the Proclamation Government Institute also thoughtfully prepared a mini-version of the walkway, Position, and sleeper berths on both inner sides of the Train Cars for the Tontatta Tribe.
This made it convenient for them not to mix with other Races.
In addition,
These two large trains used mixed Energy.
One type was the High-Pressure Steam used normally.
Through the combination of the 'McLatchy Special Steam Engine' originating from the Kabaneri World and the 'Iceburst Stone' originating from the Titan World,
It was now a very efficient, clean, and renewable Energy Technology.
The Marine Headquarters had also long since begun installing it on Warships.
Because even if it ran out of Iceburst Stone, it could still generate Power as long as there was Water.
Although it was inferior to Iceburst Stone in all aspects,
At least it wouldn't cause the Warship to completely stop and drift with the waves.
The other type was the backup Energy used by the Iron Fortress trains in emergencies: Battery.
The Energy Research Institute of the Academy of Science had successfully completed the Construction of a Power Base on Raijin Island, centered around a large number of Special Lightning Rods.
It was now constantly attracting a massive amount of Lightning.
It was just that the Reserves of these Battery were not very large yet.
Therefore, until there was a Breakthrough in Technology in this Zone, Electric Power would be difficult to use as the main Energy.
Overall,
The operation of this 'Iron Fortress Railway System' connected Saint Grace City, the Nine Great City Special Zones, Flevance City, Zou City, Mink Tribe Territory, the World Government Headquarters, and Academy City into a high-speed Transportation line.
If the Red Line, which encircled the entire World, was a Blood Vessel,
Then its Blood had now begun to circulate.
In the Future, more and more people would definitely move here.
After all, compared to a Small Island in a vast Ocean, the Red Line could provide greater Safety.
In addition,
As the Military gradually saw people exchanging Military Merit for Peerage,
The World Government also began to divide various Zones of the Red Line, using them as Territories for these Military Merit Nobles.
Currently, because they were all Barons,
Several, or even more than ten, Private Territories appeared within a single Seasonal Area.
Most of them were Comrade-in-Arms who knew each other.
So they often requested to be assigned to the same Zone, feeling that it would be more lively and convenient for interaction compared to living alone in an empty Zone.
It was just unknown if they would still like it when their Peerage increased and their Territories expanded in the Future?
There would be quite a lot of trouble then...
Then there were the matters concerning the few Otherworlds.
Im used his hand to swipe the Holographic Virtual Image in front of him, switching to the next Report.
It was specially noted as important information submitted by the Five Elders.
"They want to see me?"
After reading the Content, Im's expression became serious.
It said that Kong, Sengoku, Raimon, Zephyr, Tsuru, as well as Garp, Akainu, and Kaido, wanted to meet with him.
They had had this idea ever since they heard about Lord Imu.
Now, at this time, when the Conquest of the Ninja World had already begun,
They suddenly formally submitted this joint request?
The reason given was that since the Otsutsuki Clan was an extremely powerful Interstellar Enemy,
Then these Higher-Ups should also get to know their true BOSS.
Anyway, the meaning was simple.
The Subordinate wanted to know who their Boss truly was!
"Hmm..."
Im fell into contemplation.
A moment later, he wrote his answer on the Holographic Virtual Image.
Approved!
Thinking about it carefully, it was about time to meet with these High-Level Enforcers.
After all, they already knew of his existence.
There was no need to keep hiding.
However, a full public disclosure to the outside World still needed to be delayed for a while...
(Take a break, you've worked hard for a month, for Recovery of Energy, get a good sleep, relax...)
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 852: Audience with Im! (Three-in-One Chapter 6631 words)
Sea Star Mainland.
Holy Land Mary Geoise, Red Port below the Red Line.
The sunlight here was as bright as ever.
The town, divided into upper and lower levels not far away, was clean and tidy.
People on the streets were well-dressed, with smiles on their faces.
The Yarukiman Mangroves, towering hundreds of meters high on both sides, with a large bubble covering their tops, gave people an incredibly peaceful and comfortable feeling.
Coupled with the crystal-clear small bubbles in the fresh air, it was as if they were hinting to everyone who came that living near the Holy Land meant having such a dreamlike happy life.
And on the wall of the Red Line.
The enormous Five-Circle Cross and the large bold black letters "WORLD GOVT" brought a strong Visual Impact and Mind shock to people's Minds.
However.
At this moment, the entire Port was guarded by large numbers of Marine Soldiers.
This was due to the arrival of three Marine Warships.
On the central Warship, three tall figures, wearing their White Justice Coats, slowly descended the wide Wooden Board.
"I really didn't expect your Proposal to actually be allowed!"
"As expected of you, Sengoku, Puhahahaha!"
Garp looked at his Old Friend walking in front of him and let out his characteristic iconic laugh.
"This Old Man merely made the Proposal. What truly worked should be everyone's joint signature. Only then would it receive Importance from the Higher-Ups."
Sengoku, wearing a Marine cap, had his hands in his Pockets. Various Medals hung on the Chest of his white Suit.
Even the Golden Decoration on his Coat of Justice looked more luxurious than those of the two behind him.
This was the most obvious change after the Fleet Admiral position transformed from a simple Position into a formal Military Rank.
Also, the Salary and Prize Money increased.
"Ara la la la, speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to it, the Master of the Star Gate..."
Kuzan chuckled softly, following half a step behind Garp.
Although his Rank was the same as Garp's, and his Strength had increased significantly with Natural Energy Cultivation, he was still willing to do so.
"This Old Man hopes to witness a higher level of Strength!"
Garp looked up at the Red Line, which extended into the Cloud Layer, his Gaze flashing with eagerness.
Now Dragon was doing very well in the Ministry of Police Affairs.
So, he didn't have the troubles he had in the 'Canon'.
His hometown in the East Blue was also becoming increasingly prosperous and harmonious under the World Government's various Benefits Policies.
The Goa Kingdom no longer had anything like the 'Gray Terminal'.
Its Facilities were in no way inferior to the Red Port Town here.
Government Compound, Police Station, Public Hospital, Public School, Power Plant, Rider's Road, Park, everything was available.
The Nobility of those Kingdoms could only put on arrogant Postures in front of the Civilians.
They dared not do anything more excessive.
Before, Dragon's Ministry of Police Affairs had dealt with many Nobility and some Royalty Members who had committed evil deeds.
Every time he returned there, Garp could always feel the immense Benefits that the Conquest of Otherworlds brought to the World.
So, he no longer dwelled on those useless thoughts.
He felt that he was just a Soldier, a Veteran, and his job was to obey Orders and fight.
Also, he enjoyed the pleasure brought by the Gravity Training Ground every day.
That process of his Body gradually becoming stronger and tougher through Suffering.
It truly made him unable to stop, completely immersed in it.
Garp could clearly feel that his current self could easily suppress his self from five years ago.
He even felt that his Strength and Haki were getting closer and closer to that blurry line in his Mind...
"Gurararara, you will definitely see it!"
Suddenly.
Another familiar loud laugh rang out from behind.
Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan stopped and turned around.
They saw Edward Newgate standing on his Moby Dick, which looked like a large Whale.
"Yo, isn't this the King of the Whitebeard Kingdom? Why are you here too?"
Garp put his pinky finger in his nostril, putting on a look of great disdain for the other party.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Newgate said nothing and didn't wait for the Moby Dick to dock properly.
He directly made a big leap and heavily slammed down in front of the three of them.
*Bang!*
Immediately, a surging Wind Pressure spread outwards.
This made the Marine Soldiers standing guard around them struggle to keep their balance and also caused Garp and the others' Coats of Justice to flap violently.
This display of power truly startled many people.
They thought that 'Whitebeard' was going to fight the Iron Fist Admiral Garp in this place.
"This Old Man is an 'Honorary Admiral', my Rank is not lower than you, a mere Veteran. If you can come, of course, This Old Man can come too!"
Edward Newgate, relying on his enormous Height of nearly seven meters, looked down at Garp and grinned lightly.
It's worth mentioning that he didn't bring 'Murakumogiri' with him.
Because this time, he genuinely just wanted to see Im again.
Although with the help of the Medical Academy, the Internal Injuries accumulated over the years had recovered as before.
Naturally, he also immediately started using the Gravity Training Ground.
His Strength could also be said to be vastly different from the Past, but he still had no intention of challenging Im again.
Because the scene where Im suppressed the 'Supreme Imperial Arm' in its Tyrannosaurus Transformation with Haki in the Imperial Arms World before.
Made Edward Newgate completely realize that the Strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all.
Just like the Gap between those so-called Vice Admirals in the Military and himself.
But he was happy to see Garp challenge Im and then get severely beaten.
It should be very interesting~~
"Tch~"
Garp pouted, then took his hand down and asked, "Can you tell me now about the process of being defeated by that Lord Imu back then?"
"Well said, Mama also wants to hear it, 'Whitebeard', how about you reveal a little?"
Just then, everyone's familiar loud laugh echoed in the Sky again.
Immediately after, everyone saw Charlotte Linlin flying over on 'Zeus'.
In the distance on the Sea Surface, they could also see the Ship's silhouette of the Queen Mama Chanter.
"I didn't expect even you to be notified."
Sengoku maintained his posture with his hands in his Pockets, looking at Linlin, who appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye and was slowly floating in Mid-air, and said thoughtfully.
"It seems that Lord Imu is truly prepared to have a chat with us."
Garp, however, waved his hand and said with a very annoying smile, "We'll know about that later. This Old Man is more interested in hearing about the defeat experience of this 'World's Strongest Man'!"
"Garp, it seems you haven't been beaten by This Old Man for too long, making you forget the Suffering of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit hitting your Body."
Newgate narrowed his eyes, which flashed with Cold Light, and his hands were slowly clenching.
"Puhahahaha!"
But Garp retorted without showing any weakness.
He looked up directly at the former's terrifying Gaze and grinned widely.
"Something I've never felt, where would there be forgetting? But This Old Man's Fists are harder than before recently. I can let you experience it yourself, Whitebeard~"
For a moment, the Atmosphere in the Red Port became extremely tense and oppressive, following the passionate eye contact between these two Big Shots.
The sound of the waves hitting the Dock repeatedly.
Gave the surrounding Marines a dull feeling of constantly being struck in their Hearts.
"Alright, if you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities later!"
Fortunately, Sengoku took a step forward and stood between Garp and Newgate, completely unconcerned about the increasingly powerful Aura emanating from the two of them.
"We are about to meet the other party. Adjust your Mindsets."
Even now, Sengoku didn't know how he should address Im.
Calling him 'Lord' also felt a bit awkward. Everything depended on the Result of this Meeting.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing Sengoku start walking towards the Town, Garp and Newgate turned their heads away with displeased expressions and followed without a word.
"Ara la la la, thankfully Fleet Admiral Sengoku is here."
Kuzan looked relieved as the Atmosphere eased.
Then, seeing Charlotte Linlin also planning to walk with them.
He asked curiously, "'BIG MOM' san, can't you fly? Why don't you just go up directly?"
"That wouldn't be fun. Since we met here, it's more lively to walk together, Mamamama~"
Charlotte Linlin laughed cheerfully.
Honestly, when she was in a good mood, she looked quite amiable.
"I see."
Kuzan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In the blink of an eye.
The five people took the Bubble Cable Car along the wall of the Red Line, and after nearly forty minutes, they finally reached the top.
There was no other way, after all, it was several thousand meters high.
Next, they still needed to walk up a relatively steep and long Steps / Stairway before officially entering the Zone of Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Actually, they could have called for an Airship.
But Sengoku and these old Marines still preferred to take their own Seaships by sea.
Newgate was similar; compared to Airships, he preferred Seaships.
As for the time it took, as long as they weren't late, no one cared.
"Linlin!"
Just as Sengoku and the other five stepped out of the final Main Gate onto a vibrant Earth with clear Rivers, Kaido's very happy voice came over.
Indeed.
Not far away, several people had been waiting for a long time.
Besides Kaido, who was waving at them, oh no, it should be at Charlotte Linlin.
There was Kong from the Command Department, Tsuru from the Staff Department, Zephyr from the Military and Political Department and Air Force Headquarters Marshal, and Marshal (Army Headquarters) Raimon.
As well as Army Headquarters Admiral Sakazuki and Douglas Bullet.
And Shiki, the Admiral (Air Force Headquarters), who had specifically returned from the Moon.
Some of these people were there because their workplaces were on the Red Line, while others arrived by Airship, so they arrived quite a bit earlier.
When Sengoku, Garp, Newgate, Kuzan, and Charlotte Linlin approached.
The lineup In the Court was absolutely magnificent.
Every single person here, if placed in Im's Previous Life, in any Pirate King themed game, could be considered an SSR Rank existence!
This was the current World Government!
And now.
They were going to have an audience with that mysterious Master of the Star Gate, the founder of the World Government, Lord Imu, the God of the Celestial Dragons!
The entire Team was arranged like this.
Kong stood at the very front.
Behind him were Zephyr, Sengoku, Tsuru, and Raimon.
After them were Garp, Sakazuki, Bullet, and Kuzan.
Further back were Newgate, Linlin, Shiki, and Kaido.
Newgate and the others didn't consider themselves inferior to the people in front.
It was because those who originated from being Pirates got along better with each other.
The area of Mary Geoise was quite large, and it would take some walking to reach Pangaea Castle.
As for Bullet, who also originated from being a Pirate, his Situation was somewhat special.
He no longer cared about being a Pirate or not.
He had completely integrated himself into the Identity of a Soldier.
So, he didn't hang out with Newgate, Shiki, and the others.
Not to mention that he secretly held the Identity of a 'Shichibukai'.
This also made Sakazuki's Attitude towards Bullet much friendlier.
At the same time, his dislike for Crocodile grew stronger.
The reason Aramaki could enter the Ninja World alone earlier was because of Sakazuki's Support.
The meeting time promised was two in the afternoon.
At one thirty-five.
This Team, which included almost all the Military High Command's thirteen Fleet Admirals and Admirals, arrived in front of the grand and majestic Pangaea Castle.
The reason it was 'almost' was because Borsalino didn't come.
The Holy Land Garrison guarding here had already raised the Steel Gates of the inner and outer two Checkpoints in advance.
At the same time, they stood tall with chests out, holding Spears without looking sideways, standing on both sides of the wide Paths.
Their White Cloaks hung quietly against their Armor behind them.
They would only sway gently when a breeze blew through.
However, no matter how these Knights displayed their Postures.
They couldn't shift the Line of Sight of the thirteen Big Shots onto them.
Because on both sides of the first Gate.
Two 'Giant God Soldiers' wearing Golden Armor and holding Golden Greatswords and Golden Great Axes stood on the left and right sides.
They were 'Thunder Giant' Dorry, who ate the Logia System Plasma-Plasma Fruit, and 'Disaster Giant' Brogy, who ate the Mythical Zoan: Yamata no Orochi Fruit.
Their presence.
Reminded everyone of the spectacular scene in the Imperial Arms World when Noah's Ark emerged from the 'Sky Gate'.
Followed by three Golden Giants descending from the Sky like God's Envoys.
Announcing the Holy Edict to the World.
Sengoku, Garp, Sakazuki, and the others exchanged glances.
Then they walked through the Gate without a word.
Although they could feel the powerful Aura of these two 'Giant God Soldiers'.
No one present paid much Importance to it.
Next was the second Gate connecting the inside and outside of the Castle.
Here, too, two 'Giant God Soldiers' stood imposingly on either side.
They were 'Fire Giant' Surtr, who ate the Logia System Flame-Flame Fruit, and 'Frost Giant' Utgard, who ate the Logia System Snow-Snow Fruit.
Passing through here meant officially entering the interior of Pangaea Castle.
Then they went up to the upper level.
The thirteen people had just arrived at the floor where the Empty Hall was located.
They immediately saw that at the end of the Corridor, which was wide enough to be comparable to a modern two-Roadway.
Two more 'Giant God Soldiers' appeared, guarding the Main Gate on either side.
They were 'Gate Giant' Oimo, who ate the Paramecia: Door-Door Fruit, and 'Guardian Giant' Kashi, who had recently eaten the Paramecia: Barrier-Barrier Fruit.
'Red Count' Redfield was traveling around with his Partner Pato.
Although they hadn't found the Nika Fruit and Dark-Dark Fruit yet.
They were lucky enough to find the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, which Kaido had knocked away with a club, on their journey.
Six of them!
Garp and the others counted silently.
Adding the Giant God Soldier who was responsible for announcing the Holy Edict before but was not present now.
That would be Saul. It seemed there were a total of seven 'Giant God Soldiers'.
The next moment.
Oimo and Kashi tacitly pushed open the Empty Hall Main Gate behind them.
A bright Red Carpet extended directly into the depths of the quiet Main Hall.
"What?!"
When Kong, Sengoku, Raimon, Tsuru, and Zephyr, who were at the very front, subconsciously looked inside.
Their Pupils not only suddenly constricted into pinpricks, but their Eyes also involuntarily widened, and their faces showed shock.
Because they saw five familiar Back Views, kneeling on the other end of the Red Carpet...
The five people with the highest Authority in the World Government.
The Five Elders!
They seemed to be bowing and submitting to a certain person.
This scene was truly shocking to these Military High Command members.
"What's wrong?"
"Hurry up and go inside, Sengoku~"
Garp, seeing these five people blocking the door and not entering, urged them somewhat confusedly.
"Okay."
Sengoku didn't turn back, just nodded, and with a heavy Heart, followed Kong's Back View and stepped into the Empty Hall again.
But before three seconds passed.
The instincts of Powerhouses made them tense their nerves and muscles in an instant.
Because they felt a strong Sense of Urgency and Unease.
As if every bit of Air here could threaten them.
But how was this possible?
Soon.
Garp, Newgate, Shiki, and the others who walked in successively also had the same Feeling.
This immediately made them vigilant and their Gaze towards their surroundings was filled with Vigilance.
The Atmosphere became increasingly Solemn as the people on the Red Carpet moved forward.
Even a straightforward guy like Garp kept a straight face and remained silent.
Especially when he saw the Back Views of the Five Elders kneeling in front, his Expression also changed drastically.
Immediately.
Everyone subconsciously looked up, their Gaze sweeping over the three layers of tall Stone Platforms.
They saw the white-clothed figure seated on the Empty Throne.
The other party's indifferent Gaze seemed to glance down casually.
Instantly.
That Haki, which was above all things, like a Heavenly God in the World, as if looking down on everything.
Even without forming any obvious Shockwave similar to Conqueror's Haki.
Still caused Sengoku, Garp, Sakazuki, Newgate, Kaido, Linlin, and everyone else present to feel a strong Impact on both the visual and Mind levels.
Especially that instinctive, completely uncontrollable Unease, sense of threat, and Nervousness.
It even made these Top Experts, who were famous outside, personally experience what it meant to feel Fear from the bottom of their Hearts.
Especially Charlotte Linlin, who was most skilled at playing with Fear and using Fear to extract others' Souls.
Her plump face froze, and her Pupils trembled violently.
And she immediately lowered her Gaze.
An invisible Pressure permeated everyone's Minds.
The already quiet Main Hall became even more silent.
Even though Sengoku had thought a lot before, he remained silent at this moment.
He only felt that the surrounding Light had dimmed slightly.
"I heard."
At this moment, an extremely cold voice drifted down from above. It gave a feeling of ultimate self-importance, instinctively making people listen attentively.
"You... sought an audience with me, the Powerhouses of this Era, my subjects."
As the words fell, the thirteen people standing behind the kneeling Five Elders remained silent for a long time.
Finally, Garp couldn't stand it anymore and was the first to open his mouth to answer.
"Yes, we... Hmm?!"
But who would have thought that before Garp could finish speaking.
The surrounding Air, which already made them feel like they had thorns in their backs and was as sticky as water.
Instantly froze into an unimaginably heavy Pressure.
*Roar roar roar roar...*
The thirteen people's expressions changed drastically, and surging Haki burst forth from their bodies, instinctively resisting the Pressure squeezing from all directions.
But this emitted Armament Haki.
They couldn't even last for three seconds before collapsing onto the fluffy Red Carpet, half-kneeling.
These were Fleet Admirals and Admirals of the Military, Representing the World Government's Highest Combat Power!
Strangely, the Five Elders in front seemed unaffected.
"Since you are subjects, you should assume the Posture of subjects... when replying."
Im's voice once again reached everyone's ears from above.
These words made the expressions of the thirteen people below the platform vary.
Among them, Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, Tsuru, Raimon, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Bullet merely had solemn expressions and furrowed brows.
At the same time, they silently increased the Emission of their Haki outwards.
They wanted to see how strong the Aura Im was releasing truly was.
Most of these people, who originated from the Military, did not show too strong resistance because of the Five Elders' exemplary behavior.
Coupled with Im's Identity.
But Newgate, Kaido, and Shiki were filled with Anger.
Even Newgate, who had been defeated before, had terrifying Rage in his eyes.
They felt they were being insulted by Im!
"Ahhhhhhh——————"
The three of them roared almost simultaneously, surging Air Currents mixed with various Lightning bursts forth from their bodies like erupting volcanoes.
Even Charlotte Linlin, for some reason, her eyes became circles within circles.
Then, after the three of them, a pink Air Current carrying Lightning burst forth.
"Roar!!!"
Conqueror's Haki!
The combined release of Conqueror's Haki from four Powerhouses who could Represent the Highest Combat Power on the World.
This allowed them to gradually push back the invisible Pressure on their bodies.
It was as if a gradually growing layer appeared between their bodies and the Air.
And it allowed their half-kneeling Postures to straighten up little by little.
"Hmph—"
But just when Newgate, Shiki, Kaido, and Linlin, who was in a frenzy, thought they could stand up.
Im merely let out a nasal sound.
The next moment.
The originally dim Empty Hall suddenly became much brighter.
Sengoku, Zephyr, Sakazuki, and the others who were 'obedient' and didn't experience greater Pressure.
Noticed golden fluorescent light appearing in the surrounding Air.
Then they watched in astonishment as the Conqueror's Haki on Newgate, Shiki, Kaido, and Linlin's bodies was forcefully pushed back into their bodies!
So strong!
Incredibly strong, completely not a competition on the same level!
No wonder the 'Supreme Imperial Arm' in 'Tyrannosaurus Transformation' was easily suppressed before.
It turned out that the Pressure it faced at that time was so terrifying!
Newgate finally showed a bitter expression.
He shook his head helplessly, then withdrew his Conqueror's Haki.
He only kept a layer of Armament Haki on his Body Surface, which greatly reduced the Pressure he felt.
This once again made him feel how unfathomable Im's mastery over Haki Control was.
The second was Kaido.
He thought of how much he liked his current Life, and he thought of his Daughter Yamato at the War Military Academy.
Furthermore.
He felt that since Im had such Strength, it wasn't unacceptable to have him as his Boss. Coupled with the other party's Identity and control over the Star Gate.
It was much more comfortable than listening to those old farts, the Five Elders!
The third was Shiki.
After realizing that he was truly powerless to resist, he accepted this cruel reality. He really didn't want to be thrown into 'Infinite Hell' again.
Once a person has experienced the feeling of losing Freedom and then regained Freedom, that person will be even more afraid of losing Freedom again.
'Infinite Hell' was a life sentence.
And it was a life sentence in a small black room with no time for fresh air...
Finally, it was Charlotte Linlin.
However, she had clearly completely lost her Rationality, so she was still howling and struggling wildly.
"Presumptuous!"
This caused Im's already sharp Gaze to turn cold.
He gently hooked his Right Index Finger and middle finger towards Charlotte Linlin.
The latter's rioting Body suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a Heart-shaped Red Heart flew out from her Body!
This scene was clearly seen by Sengoku and the others.
Then they noticed that Linlin had fallen into a Coma.
This caused a look of anxiety to appear on Kaido's face...
On the other side.
When the Red Heart flew in front of Im, he put it away.
After all, now was not the time to deal with this.
"You, what did you do to Lin, Linlin?!"
At this moment, Kaido's angry questioning shout echoed in the Main Hall.
Im glanced at him, saying nothing.
But the golden Pressure on Kaido's body instantly increased dramatically, pressing him down hard onto the Red Carpet.
Before, his Haki was dispersed among everyone, at most only making them half-kneel, and the lasting Effect wouldn't be too long.
But now, it was basically all concentrated on Kaido.
This gave others a Deja Vu that even a Combat Power of Kaido's Rank could be arbitrarily suppressed on the Ground, unable to move.
This once again heavily shocked the Minds of Garp, Shiki, and the others.
"Now you can say what you want to ask."
Im cupped his Right Hand and rested it on the armrest of the Empty Throne, supporting his Cheek.
He tilted his head slightly and calmly looked down at those below the platform, who were either half-kneeling or sprawled on the Ground...
The Five Elders! Fleet Admirals! Admirals!
Thank you very much to Elder for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
Also, another esteemed Elder has arrived to congratulate the World Government!
To boost the average subscription Data, I'm planning to write some combined chapters. Otherwise, if the average subscription is too low, it will threaten the Full Attendance Bonus, which is a thousand yuan...
# Chapter 853: Unchanging Through the Ages!
For these Peak Experts of this World, especially those of Pirate Origin.
The collision of Strength is far more effective than Verbal Communication, in every aspect.
Many 'Talk no Jutsu' techniques common in Japanese Anime/Manga are hard to pull off in this World.
No matter what you say, if you want the enemy to stop or patiently listen to you, you can only rely on your Fist to completely defeat the opponent.
Just like now.
Im's Power move at the start, 'requiring' Sengoku, Garp, Newgate, Shiki, and others to half-kneel.
Not only did it make both sides understand the disparity in Strength.
It also further strengthened the relationship and Status between the two sides in terms of Identity.
The entire Process was confirmed in less than five minutes.
Even now that Im had withdrawn the Pressure generated by Haki, these people still maintained their half-kneeling posture.
Even the most unruly Newgate, Shiki, and Kaido, who had already been permitted to stand up but whose Expression was dark with anger.
This was true physical and mental submission, the kind where you have to obey even if you don't want to!
There was also Charlotte Linlin, who was still in a Coma.
However, Kaido had noticed that Linlin's Aura was still present and hadn't significantly weakened, which relieved him somewhat.
It was just that her Aura seemed to have changed quite a bit, which was strange.
The following Process entered the normal Question Segment.
Sengoku primarily asked the questions, representing the group, with Tsuru supplementing him. This was what the Higher-Ups had discussed beforehand.
The general Content wasn't complicated, but every point had a huge impact.
For example, they confirmed Im's Target, the World Government's subsequent Development Path, and the Sea Star Civilization's Future Direction.
Im indeed didn't hide anything.
He even told them about the future plan to abolish all State Power within this World and centralize all Military and Political Power in the World Government.
Anyway, his existence was already semi-public.
Moreover, he had already decided to announce this Matter and vigorously promote it at the next Reverie.
At that time, these 'Highest Combat Power' would definitely be needed to handle the potential Riots that might occur in Various Places, so he was giving them a heads-up.
"What?!"
As expected, after hearing this Content, except for the Five Elders who remained Composed and half-knelt at the very front, the twelve people behind them, including Sengoku, all had drastic changes in Expression.
Unifying the internal Regime of this World!
If this were to spread, it would definitely cause an Uproar among the various Nations outside. It was unclear how many Kings would dare to raise troops and rebel over this.
After all, they had more or less witnessed the World Government's Conquest Process of Otherworlds in recent years.
They should Understand very well that anyone who dared to resist would 100% end up in failure.
But Authority is poisonous.
No one knew which Kings and Nobility would have their Minds confused by Human Desires and take some crazy Actions.
On the other hand, there was no need to worry about the Commoners.
With the World Government's current Reputation and Popular Support in this World, very few people would oppose this Matter.
Perhaps they would even feel Delight at no longer having Kings.
However, the Situation of a few Kingdoms was quite special.
For example, Alabasta, Fish-Man Island, Flower Country, Dressrosa, and some Kingdoms primarily composed of Minority Races.
The Royalty of these Nations are deeply loved and respected by their Citizens, so there would likely be many resistant Citizens at that time.
So many Considerations.
They surfaced in Sengoku's mind in an instant.
But just as he had vaguely felt that having a powerful leader was more beneficial than harmful to the World Government currently engaged in the Conquest of Myriad Worlds.
He now also felt that, from a long-term Viewpoint, it was the correct Choice for the World Government to unify the Regime on this World.
After all, the Principle that a Palm is strongest when clenched into a Fist is very simple.
Moreover, aside from a few excellent Kings.
The existence of most Kings did not have much Positive Significance for the Construction and development of their respective regions.
Instead, due to Human Desires, they would cause the Citizens more Suffering.
In comparison.
Perhaps it would be much better to abolish the Kings and replace them with Government Officials who change every few years to handle the Management?
Anyway, Sengoku felt it couldn't possibly be worse than those Kings!
These thoughts.
Sengoku also spoke them out without the slightest concealment, and he was also saying them for the rough guys beside him to hear.
Because in his Viewpoint, Im was willing to tell them such an important Matter in advance during their first Meeting, which showed Sincerity and Trust.
Then he should also respond sincerely and do his best.
"Well said, Sengoku!"
Im, seated high on the Empty Throne, looked at him with a Gaze that showed appreciation.
The Position of Fleet Admiral was indeed a waste of his talent.
Such Scope, such Wisdom, it was a pity he wasn't a Celestial Dragon, otherwise, he would even want to promote him to the Position of Five Elders.
However, the Position of Commander-in-Chief was destined to belong to Sengoku.
When Kuzan is a little older, Kong can also retire successfully and yield the Position to Sengoku, while becoming one of the World Government's Behind-the-Scenes Foundation.
"Wait a minute, what about This Old Man's Whitebeard Kingdom?"
At this moment, Newgate couldn't help but speak up and ask. His Kingdom had only been built a few years ago, and now it was going to be gone?
This Nation, to him now, was no different from home.
Im did not answer.
Seeing this, Sengoku quickly explained on his behalf: "At that time, it can be your Territory, it just won't be a Nation in name, other things won't change much."
"Hmm."
Newgate pondered for a moment, glanced at the figure of Im above, and nodded with a calm Expression: "Hope so."
He truly didn't care much about the Identity of a King.
"Old... Can I also ask Lord Imu a question?"
Garp originally wanted to refer to himself as This Old Man, but then remembered that Im's Age was several hundred years, so he immediately changed his wording.
His speaking up caused Sengoku, Tsuru, Zephyr, and others to feel their hearts tighten, worried that this guy would say something inappropriate again.
"Granted."
Im casually uttered clear words.
"I want to know, is it true that as long as we Transmute the 'Three Colors Combined, Colorless Haki' that you gave us Guidance on before, we can reach your current Strength Level?"
Garp, half-knelt on the Red Carpet, asked seriously with a heavy tone.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone present, including those few Five Elders, uniformly raised their heads, waiting for Im's reply.
"Yes."
Finally, Im answered. As soon as these two words appeared, those who possessed Conqueror's Haki had faces filled with Delight.
Meanwhile, Raimon, Zephyr, Sakazuki, and Kuzan, who did not possess Conqueror's Haki, immediately had dimmed Expressions.
What was interesting was that Garp's gaze also flickered with unconcealable surprise.
But doesn't he not have Conqueror's Haki?
Who would have thought that Im's words hadn't finished speaking, and when he finished speaking, everyone's varied Expressions instantly froze.
"Yes... reach the level of five years ago."
A sentence with pauses and emphasis, yet it struck the people below as if they were hit by lightning.
Five years ago!
Before Roger's public Execution, and before the Star Gate appeared, although it was only five short years, who among the people present hadn't seen a clear improvement in their Strength?
Oh, right, Shiki hadn't.
He was at most considered recovered to the level of five years ago.
But Im hadn't experienced the Imprisonment of Infinite Hell. Suddenly, everyone's gaze focused on Edward Newgate.
Garp was the first to ask: "'Whitebeard', when were you defeated by Lord Imu?"
Have to say.
Calling him Lord Imu became smoother and smoother for him.
"Sigh."
Newgate was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and answered in a deep voice: "Four years ago, my Murakumogiri was cut off with one strike!"
The Atmosphere suddenly fell into Dead Silence, and the Air Pressure in the entire Main Hall seemed to have changed.
Only Im's cold, deep gaze calmly watched them.
Like the unchanging Moon since ancient times.
Thanks to the reader named Yun Ce Lou's Cat for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!

Chapter 854: Linlin, Linlin!
The World Government's Military High Command and Im's first Meeting ended very peacefully.
The outside world was completely unaware of this.
Kong, Sengoku, Raimon, Zephyr, Tsuru, Garp, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the others were quite satisfied with the outcome of this Meeting.
In their opinion, Im was quite perfect in terms of Age, Identity, Strength, Personality, temperament, and Spirit.
Thinking back.
Im had previously ordered the public release of all Haki Cultivation Techniques within the Military, even telling them the 'Three Colors Combined, Colorless Haki' without any reservations.
This was the embodiment of Spirit.
It also showed that Im was not afraid of them potentially surpassing him. Such broad-mindedness and confidence earned the deep admiration of Garp and the others.
Furthermore, this Lord Imu actually planned to unify the Regime within the World. This was a great feat, no less significant than the creation of the World Government nearly a thousand years ago.
To put it simply, Garp and the others had long found those Kings displeasing!
Regarding the Riots that Sengoku was worried about.
Garp even boldly patted his chest and guaranteed Im, who was seated above, before leaving the Empty Hall.
He probably couldn't manage other places, but in the East Blue Great Sea, if any Royalty dared to show their face, he would dare to flatten them with his Iron Fist!
Seeing this, Im didn't get angry, nor did he punish him with Haki. He merely curled the Corner of his Mouth and gave Garp a sentence.
"You really should go back to the East Blue to see your daughter-in-law and grandson."
These light words instantly stunned Garp. Sengoku, Tsuru, Zephyr, and the others around him were also taken aback.
What did that mean?
It seemed to be saying that Dragon had a Child?
Sakazuki and Kuzan exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's Eyes. Didn't they agree that none of them would marry or have children?
Dragon!
You thick-browed and big-eyed fellow, you actually secretly found a wife and even had a Child behind their backs!
Just as everyone reacted and gathered around Garp, walking and causing a constant Clamor.
Shiki, Bullet, Newgate, and the others who were not interested in this, keenly noticed why Im knew this beforehand?
Was it Cipher Pol's Intelligence, or the Ability of Future Sight?
But they also had Future Sight, which at most showed Screen Feeds within a few seconds. If this was truly Future Sight from Im, the thought was terrifying.
[Bang!]
Oimo and Kashi closed the Main Gate of the Empty Hall again.
Inside the Main Hall, only the Five Elders, who were still half-kneeling on the ground, remained, along with Tsuru and Kaido, who had been specifically asked to stay.
He was looking in surprise at Charlotte Linlin, who was kneeling on both knees on the ground, looking up at the top, then looking to the left, her face full of innocent Expression.
"Linlin?"
Kaido called out in Doubt. Linlin turned her head, revealing a brilliant Smile: "What's wrong, Kaido-san?"
"..."
Hearing this tone and Smile, Kaido was somewhat at a loss. What did she just call him, -san?
Wasn't that too polite?
"Are you really Linlin?"
As he said this, Kaido's Gaze subtly drifted towards Im above. He suspected that Im had done something.
"It's me! You're my cute little brother Kaido, aren't you? By the way, when can we leave here, Lord Imu, Mamama~~"
Linlin also looked up at Im. Both her tone and Expression were very childlike.
Especially those Eyes, which held no trace of Evil.
However, she was already forty-nine years old, almost fifty, and had so many children. This appearance felt like a Feeling of Dread.
"Alright, you can go inside and eat some Candy first."
Im thought for a moment, considering that the upcoming Matter was not suitable for the current Linlin to know. It was better to let her leave temporarily.
Immediately, without seeing him make any movement, an Air Door about twenty meters high and seven to eight meters wide suddenly appeared out of thin Air on the Open Ground of the Red Carpet below the platform.
Following closely, a Golden Giant pushed 'The Gate' open and emerged from the Green Space inside.
It was the current 'Giant God Soldier' Guard Captain, Jaguar D. Saul, who had eaten the Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Model: Antaeus.
His appearance immediately brought psychological Pressure to Kaido.
"Another Admiral Level Combat Power!"
The previous 'Fire Giant' Surtr and 'Frost Giant' Utgard had already given Kaido a faint Feeling of Aura at the same Combat Power level.
Now, Saul's Aura was even more distinct.
"Please, Admiral Charlotte Linlin. Inside, there are already a hundred excellent Chefs from different Worlds who have prepared enough Delicious Food and Candy for you."
"That's great!!"
Charlotte Linlin was filled with Delight, but just as she got up to run in, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Kaido: "You come too!"
"This..."
Kaido immediately hesitated.
"Kaido will come later, you go in and eat first, Linlin," Im said softly from the triple platform.
"Okay, okay then. You must come quickly, little brother Kaido, otherwise I'll eat all the Delicious Food!"
Charlotte Linlin put her index finger to her lips and hesitated for a few seconds, but still chose to obediently follow Im's Order.
In the blink of an Eye.
Charlotte Linlin's massive Body, followed by the even larger Saul, disappeared into the Air...
"L-Lord Imu, what is this?"
Kaido maintained his half-kneeling posture, his face pale with Anger as he gripped the Red Carpet beneath him.
However, Im above still didn't answer him. Instead, he took out the Red Heart he had previously extracted from Linlin's Body.
The next moment.
The Red Heart transformed into a ball of Aura and expanded, gradually forming a somewhat ethereal, short figure, and instantly appeared on the Red Carpet in front of Kaido and Tsuru.
This was a long-haired nun with a face full of Fear, trembling violently all over, showing her old Age.
"Carmel, the previous Soul-Soul Fruit Ability User, a nun called 'Saint' by the Giant Tribe and many people in the World."
Suddenly, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who was in front, spoke, also attracting Kaido's attention.
"But her true Identity was a Professional Human Trafficker who abducted Orphans and sold them to Various Places. She mysteriously disappeared forty-three years ago..."
"However, the Truth is that she took a liking to the astonishing Talent of the then six-year-old Charlotte Linlin, used the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability to seize her Body, and used her Identity and Strength to gain everything she has now..."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who was in charge of Cipher Pol, used concise words to introduce the story of Carmel and Charlotte Linlin.
However, this was actually given to him by Im beforehand.
The more Kaido and Tsuru listened, the more shocked they became. Carmel, however, became more and more filled with Fear.
Every time she opened her mouth to say something, but when Im's Gaze swept over, she would tremble and dare not interrupt a single word.
Because Carmel knew that since Im could extract her from Linlin's Body, he definitely also had the Ability to completely bring about her Destruction!
The key was that Im had an Aura that made her instinctively feel extreme Fear...
"Then, then, the Linlin I knew, which Linlin was she?"
After listening, Kaido only felt that the Information Volume was too large, and his temples were throbbing.
"If you are referring to the Charlotte Linlin you met in the Rocks Pirates, then that should be this Carmel in front of you."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said indifferently while half-kneeling with his Back View to Kaido.
"Ah?!"
Kaido's mouth dropped wide open as he stared blankly at Carmel's extremely short Back View.
So the person who gave him the Azure Dragon Fruit back then was also her?
And the one in his Heart was also her?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Kaido was Roaring wildly in his Heart. His Linlin, how could Linlin be this, this...
Tsuru, who was beside him, became thoughtful upon hearing this.
She was wondering what Im and the Five Elders' purpose was, but she had somewhat guessed why she was left behind.
(End of this chapter)
## Chapter 855: Two-Tails Jinchuriki!
"Then, that... Lord Imu, and the Five Elders Lords, I... I've cooperated with the World Government for decades!"
"Don't you think it's more in everyone's interests for me to be 'BIG MOM'?!"
Seeing disaster approaching, Carmel desperately suppressed her fear and shouted loudly at the backs of the Five Elders.
It wasn't surprising that she was acting so pathetic.
The truth was, in her soul state, she had no Ability or Strength whatsoever.
Even the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability was bound to Charlotte Linlin's Body according to the Devil Fruit's Characteristic.
Back when she was still a Soul-Soul Fruit Ability User.
In order to perform Body Possession, she had actively used the Soul-Soul Fruit's unique Awakening, temporarily attaching the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability to her Soul.
After her Soul entered Charlotte Linlin's Body, the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability naturally became a part of the Body.
This was equivalent to renovating her Lineage Factor, and she also fell into a period of deep sleep.
Upon waking, she successfully suppressed Linlin's Soul, or rather, her personality, deep down, becoming the dominant force of this powerful Body.
But whether it was Talent, Strength, or the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability, they were all ultimately things belonging to Charlotte Linlin's Body.
Carmel, separated from the Body, was equivalent to losing everything.
This was also the Risk that came with Body Possession.
However, having said that, if she hadn't encountered Im, the possibility of extracting her from Linlin's Body wouldn't have been high.
"..."
However, regarding Carmel's hysterical shouting.
The Five Elders in front remained silent.
Their backs looked so Cold and Ruthless.
Although they also felt that Carmel was easier to communicate with than the kind and naive Linlin.
But who could blame them when Lord Imu seemed more interested in the latter?
There was nothing they could do.
Go die.
Just as Carmel was still rambling on, desperately fighting for a glimmer of hope for herself.
A purple Radiance suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"Ah ah ah ah----"
The next moment.
She was completely engulfed in fiercely burning purple Flame.
The mournful Scream lasted for less than two seconds before her Soul was reduced to ashes along with it.
This scene happened right before Kaido and Tsuru's eyes.
But strangely, neither of them felt the heat that the Flame should have possessed.
Instead, just looking at it made their hearts feel cold, as if Cold Air was rushing towards them.
"Noisy."
Im's slightly displeased voice rang out, making the Chill felt by the seven people below even stronger.
But no one dared to say anything more.
"Minister Tsuru, from now on, let Charlotte Linlin live with you for a period of Time."
"She can be kind, but she can't remain naive forever. Also, teach her about Management."
The current Linlin could clearly recall all her past Memories.
But it seemed she was still stuck in the Personality and Mindset of a six-year-old.
Perhaps for her.
These things she hadn't personally experienced were more like Footage from a bystander's Viewpoint?
But no matter what, she had to grow up!
"Yes, Lord Imu."
Tsuru inwardly thought, 'As expected,' and nodded in agreement obediently.
After all, among all the women in the Military, only she had the Ability to teach the current Charlotte Linlin.
"Okay, you may leave now. Let Oimo open The Gate for you."
As soon as Im finished speaking, before Tsuru and Kaido could even react.
They instantly appeared outside the Main Gate, having moved from inside the Empty Hall.
The two 'Giant God Soldiers' still stood on either side.
"Please."
The Oimo on the left activated his Door-Door Fruit Ability.
He opened an Air Door into the Green Space for the two of them.
At this moment, the shock on Tsuru and Kaido's faces hadn't disappeared, but they could only exchange a look and walk in helplessly.
And now, the Empty Hall was completely empty.
The high and mighty Gold-Red Throne, in loneliness and Darkness, awaited its Master's next return.
And accompanying it were still the twenty rusty Weapons of various types.
They had once witnessed the very beginning of the World Government...
On the other side.
Just as Garp was rushing towards Sabaody Archipelago in a hurry.
Preparing to properly question Dragon about the Situation with his good grandson.
Im, who had teleported alone to the deepest and coldest place in Pangaea Castle.
Was also gazing at a Giant Straw Hat that was being refrigerated.
And behind him were four red Poneglyphs that had been moved there at some point!
"Monkey D. Luffy is finally born, but where is your Nika Fruit, Joy Boy?"
Im was also thinking about the Arrangement for Luffy in his mind.
But soon, he showed a relieved Smile and muttered to himself, "So what if he's born? The current World doesn't need you anymore~"
He believed that if a group of people truly wanted to overthrow the World Government in the future.
The first ones to disagree would be the countless Sea Star Populace.
"Besides, I won't let Garp educate you again."
Speaking of this, Im couldn't help but chuckle. At this moment, he would always recall things from before his transmigration.
However, compared to the relaxed and pleasant Atmosphere on the World side.
The Ninja World side was filled with a killing intent that permeated even the drifting Wind.
In Amegakure, Ay finally agreed to Hanzo's Requirement.
After all, this was not only about revenge but also potentially about whether the Third Raikage could be rescued.
In young Ay's Viewpoint, since Crocodile chose to Capture Alive, his Father was most likely still alive and currently held somewhere within Roran!
So he gritted his teeth and had the Two-Tails Matatabi, sealed in the Amber Purifying Pot within the Village, sent over.
Hanzo was indeed filled with Delight upon seeing this.
He had actually been half-believing and half-doubting whether Ay would agree and follow through.
After all, this was a Tailed Beast, definitely considered a Strategic Level War Weapon.
If Amegakure had it in the future, coupled with himself, other Great Countries would have to seriously reconsider turning this place into a Battlefield!
The Power of a Tailed Beast Bomb was no joke!
But after obtaining the Two-Tails, Hanzo found a Jonin in the Village who was loyal to him and relatively young to be the Jinchuriki.
He never expected that shortly after the Two-Tails' Chakra entered his Body, the Jonin lost his Rationality.
Helplessly.
Hanzo had no choice but to reseal the Two-Tails back into the Amber Purifying Pot with Ay. That person was naturally certain to die.
They tried a few more times after that, even bringing in underage Children, but they all ended in failure.
This made him feel annoyed and even consider the idea of becoming the Jinchuriki himself. However, thinking about his advanced Age, he suppressed the thought and decided to keep it as a last Choice.
Young Ay couldn't help but secretly laugh at this Situation.
How could finding a Jinchuriki be so easy? Look, even if you gave the Tailed Beast to the small Amegakure, they couldn't use it!
However, he actually had a Candidate in mind for the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
It was the Women of the Uzumaki Clan he had just snatched from Kusagakure. But he wasn't stupid, so why would he willingly hand her over?
Maybe Hanzo would run out of Methods and have to return the Two-Tails. Then Cloud Hidden Village could use it!
"What?"
But who would have thought that on the morning of this day, shortly after Ay woke up, Jonin Dodai came to tell him a shocking News.
Hanzo publicly recruited people in Amegakure who felt they had the Talent to be the Two-Tails Jinchuriki!
He not only clearly explained the significant role of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki for Amegakure but also clarified the Hidden Danger and Risk involved.
Of course, he also offered an attractive large Bounty and a Promise to guarantee the Jinchuriki's Status and Treatment.
It must be said.
The not-yet-fully-aged Hanzo, whether in Spirit or Scope, was indeed quite capable. This naturally attracted everyone in Amegakure.
In a Wooden House somewhere, the Heavy Rain outside was still pouring down.
What!!
Two Exclamations, one male and one female, came from inside the house, but were immediately washed away by the sound of the rain.
"You want to be that Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Konan and Nagato looked at Yahiko, who had an incredibly serious expression, in shock.
The latter nodded solemnly.
"Teacher Jiraiya has left. From now on, we have to rely on ourselves to protect Amegakure. This is an opportunity, and I'm not at ease with such extreme and terrifying Power as a Tailed Beast being in someone else's hands!"
