Chapter 898: The Descent of the Space Pirate Group! (Seven Thousand Character Mega Chapter)
Goa Kingdom.
In the eyes of many World People, this was a remote small country located on the border of the East Blue.
It once operated on the principle of 'thoroughly discarding unnecessary things'.
It used a wall dozens of meters high to separate all 'unpleasant things', including Civilians and Trash.
This kept the environment 'Inside the City' spotless, filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and it was called 'the most beautiful country in the East Blue' by many.
It could even occasionally attract one or two supreme and noble Celestial Dragons to visit.
However, since Marine Calendar 1498 until now, all of this has become history.
The only unique aspect here now is that it is the Hometown of 'Marine Hero', the current Marines 'Iron Fist' Admiral, Monkey D. Garp.
Although the City Wall and City Gate that separated 'Inside the City' and 'Outside the City' are still there, there is no longer any significant difference between the Living Environment inside and outside.
Inside the City, Pavilions stand tall, the Streets are clean, and flowers and green shade can be seen everywhere.
Outside the City, there are also three-story Pavilions with bright windows and clean tables everywhere, and bustling Grand Avenues and small roads.
There are also white Windmills located in different positions.
Every one of the Men, Women, Old and Young here is neatly dressed, with rosy complexions and cheerful smiles.
It's just that since it is currently school time for the children, there are fewer lively figures of Youngsters.
It is worth mentioning that the eastern part of Mt. Colubo, which originally separated this place from Foosha Village on the other side, except for keeping one mountain as a memorial, had all its other mountain peaks leveled by Garp alone with his Fists at the request of most of the Populace.
Because as the Living Facilities conditions and Population growth speed improved, the Land between Goa Kingdom Capital and Mt. Colubo became increasingly narrow.
So, someone proposed finding a way to directly clear the mountain range and connect this place, which was once called 'Terminal Gray', with the large Open Ground of Foosha Village.
Garp naturally had no Opinion after hearing this.
He easily completed the 'Mission' in about three days.
Now, besides the one 'Mt. Colubo' that was kept, on this eastern side, let alone mountain peaks, you can't even see any higher Mountain Slopes.
At the same time, everyone ignored the Opinion of the Goa Royal Family.
They directly announced the abandonment of the disgusting name 'Terminal Gray' and would henceforth be known as 'Foosha Town'.
And the original Village Chief of Foosha Village, Woop Slap Village Chief, was successfully promoted to Woop Slap Town Chief.
Not only that, but they also built the center of Foosha Town into a small Fountain Plaza.
And in the fountain lake stands a life-sized statue of Garp, named 'Iron Fist Plaza'.
It is precisely because of Garp's powerful influence that the entire Foosha Town is only nominally part of the Goa Kingdom.
Neither Woop Slap Town Chief nor all the Townspeople pay any attention to the King and the Nobility 'Inside the City'.
This has almost become a major heartache for the current King, truly frustrating and helpless.
Because even the Government Compound and Police Station stationed within Foosha Town protect that group of Commoners everywhere.
In recent years, countless children of Dignitaries have been arrested and taken in.
For minor offenses, it's naturally a few days of detention plus a fine.
But there were also serious offenses.
No matter what Rank of Nobility their family was, no matter how much fine they claimed they were willing to pay.
In the end, they were still taken away by Judicial Ships.
They were first sentenced and judged at Enies Lobby, and finally taken to 'Baltigo Great Prison' in the First Half of the Grand Line.
So now, the Royalty and Nobility of Goa Kingdom are very well-behaved towards the Populace of Foosha Town, although their Posture still carries a condescending air they are unwilling to let go of.
The sun was bright, and the sky was blue.
White Clouds drifted.
"This is great, the Air is filled with the scent of happiness. I must bring Nezuko Kamado to see it next time."
Tanjiro, dressed in a fitted green police uniform paired with a dark green trench coat, was sitting on a long bench near 'Iron Fist Plaza'.
Looking at the scene of people coming and going by the fountain lake, filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
This made a gentle smile appear on his face.
Tanjiro is already nineteen years old this year, no longer the little sprout he was back then. His Height alone is already close to 1.8 meters.
He was transferred here from Sabaody Archipelago half a year ago to serve as the Warden of the Police Station.
His Police Rank was also promoted to Police Superintendent, which is equivalent to a Deputy Section Level in the Government.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have such a Police Rank and position at such a young age.
But the situation in the Ministry of Police Affairs is quite special.
It was established only five years ago, and Minister Dragon is only thirty-six years old.
So the Ministry of Police Affairs itself is an extremely young Department.
Coupled with the fact that Dragon doesn't care about Qualifications, connections, Origin, and such things.
He values personal Strength and Ability more.
So now, most of the people in the Ministry of Police Affairs, from top to bottom, are Able-Bodied Youth in their twenties and thirties, and under forty.
And Tanjiro's Personality is extremely gentle.
Everyone who interacts with him is full of praise.
No matter how irritable their temper is, they will be influenced little by little.
At least they will subconsciously restrain themselves in front of him.
In terms of Strength.
Although due to the appearance of the World Government, Tanjiro didn't get to experience the various events in the 'Canon'.
However, under the hidden influence of a certain person, he still learned that the inherited 'Hinokami Kagura Dance' is the legendary 'Sun Breathing'.
And after a period of practice, he successfully mastered all thirteen sword forms.
In addition, during his time at the Public Security Department on Sabaody Archipelago, he successively learned 'Shave', 'Moonwalk', 'Tempest Kick', and other Six Powers techniques.
This is thanks to Muzan Kibutsuji for enhancing the physiques of them, the Former Demon Slayer Corps members.
Otherwise, with the Merits of Tanjiro and the others, it would have been impossible to exchange for the 'Perfect Series' Cell Enhancement Serum with the World Government.
However, the World Government also warned Muzan Kibutsuji because of this.
He is not allowed to enhance the physiques of Otherworlders without permission in the future.
He must first report to his Upper Grade and only enhance them after receiving permission.
But this doesn't affect Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the others from enjoying the benefits they received when there were no rules before.
Of course, the price is that they have to obey Muzan Kibutsuji's instructions when needed.
They are considered to have been completely drawn into the Demon Slayer Faction's Force.
Tanjiro doesn't care about this.
If Muzan Kibutsuji asks him to do something excessive in the future, he will definitely still refuse directly.
And because of the enhancement of his physique, his Grip Strength naturally also improved.
This allows the current Tanjiro to easily upgrade his Nichirin Blade into a Crimson Blade with High Temperature.
It's just that he hasn't mastered 'Transparent World' and 'Demon Slayer Mark'.
After all, during this period on World, he simply didn't have the opportunity to experience overly difficult battles.
However, regarding these two special abilities that seem to be exclusive to 'Demon Slayer World People'.
Tanjiro and the others have already gained some understanding through the changes and reports of Muichiro Tokito, Tengen Uzui, Giyu Tomioka, and others announced by Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
In addition.
Tanjiro has also skillfully mastered his biggest 'Cheat' as the 'Protagonist'.
'Thread of Vulnerability'!
This is based on his Supernatural Sense of Smell, which can originally distinguish various Scents, even the biological emotions of creatures.
Through this Supernatural Sense of Smell, he can smell the weakness scent of his opponent during Combat.
This weakness scent will form a 'String' connected to his Blade in his Perception.
Following this 'String', he can know where the opponent's Weakness is.
The next step is to follow the 'String' and cut the position at the other end.
If the opponent doesn't have super strong defense, Self-healing, or other means to obstruct.
Then there is an eighty percent chance of a result of severe injury with one strike, or even fatal with one strike.
However, his 'Thread of Vulnerability' also has its Weakness...
Sitting on the Chair and resting for a moment, Tanjiro stood up.
"Yo, Warden Tanjiro, are you heading back?"
An old man with white hair sitting on a nearby chair put down the World Economic Journal he was reading and looked at Tanjiro cheerfully, smiling very familiarly.
"Yes, Mr. Del, the Public School is about to end soon, I need to go check on it."
"Tanjiro, do you want a bunch of Carnations? You can give them to my Tessie!"
"Uh, no need, no need, Auntie Marvin, please send my regards to Tessie on my behalf."
Tanjiro greeted the enthusiastic Populace around him while slowly walking towards the Police Station with a gentle smile.
Since coming here.
He takes time every day to walk around and conveniently help some people who are in trouble.
This has made the Townspeople of Foosha Town quickly accept and even come to like this young Warden.
Just then, a cheerful sweet voice sounded.
"Older Brother Tanjiro, come to my house for dinner! Mama is making seafood fried noodles!"
"Thank you for the invitation, but I've already eaten, Little Liss. By the way, you'll be in the first grade of Primary School Department next year, you must be looking forward to it, right?"
Tanjiro walked over and squatted down, looking at the brown-haired little Rory standing at her Doorstep with a smiling face.
"That's right, Older Brother said school is very interesting, especially since he started learning some Breathing Style after being promoted to Middle School Division."
"Even though they just confirmed the type of Breathing Style suitable for him to cultivate, he shows off to me every day with the issued Wooden Sword, hmph hmph!"
Saying this, the Little Girl pouted, seemingly a little dissatisfied.
"Is that so? Then what type of Breathing Style is Kranz's?"
Tanjiro asked curiously.
"They said it's Thunder Breathing, is it very powerful?"
"Thunder, huh, it's very powerful!"
Tanjiro nodded, which made him think of Zenitsu Agatsuma.
Their 'Three Little Ones' had to separate as they grew up.
Zenitsu Agatsuma was assigned to the North Blue, and Inosuke Hashibira went to the South Blue.
And his younger sister Nezuko Kamado stayed at home on Wano Island.
Speaking of which, Nezuko Kamado has also grown into a graceful and slender young woman, with countless suitors on the island.
And in terms of personality, she is also more independent and has made many friends, no longer having to constantly cling to Tanjiro.
However, a Den Den Mushi call of at least an hour every night is definitely unavoidable.
"Then, Little Liss, I'll head back first... Hmm?"
Just as Tanjiro was stroking the Little Girl's little head and preparing to stand up to say goodbye.
A flash of Inazuma instantly flashed through his Mind, causing him to subconsciously look up sharply at the vast and boundless blue sky.
"Older Brother Tanjiro?"
Little Liss tilted her head in Doubt.
Immediately after, she also slowly looked up with Tanjiro.
"Th-that's..."
At the same time.
Inside a detached three-story Villa with a yard somewhere in the original Foosha Village.
Garp was swaying back and forth, holding the just-born Little Luffy, laughing heartily from time to time.
Little Luffy was also not afraid, grinning and laughing loudly, his Both hands reaching out from time to time, wanting to reach out and touch.
This made Mayor Slap, who was sitting on the Sofa, stop him with dissatisfaction, saying, "Be careful, don't drop Luffy on the ground!"
"Pu ha ha ha, he won't be hurt even if he falls on the ground! This is This Old Man's grandson!"
Garp said while making all sorts of funny faces, teasing Little Luffy in his hands.
"Dragon, aren't you going to say something to him?"
Mayor Slap was helpless and could only look at the child's father sitting opposite him, who was silent.
"It's fine, he'll be sent to Marineford in a few days and handed over to Vice Admiral Tsuru."
Dragon said expressionlessly.
For him, Luffy's mother was his Beloved Person.
But Luffy's mother unexpectedly died from difficult childbirth before he and Garp arrived.
This made Dragon's current mood very grief-stricken.
His attitude towards Luffy naturally wasn't much better.
He even felt somewhat resentful deep inside his heart, feeling that Luffy's appearance had caused his wife's death.
Just then, the World Government side suddenly contacted him for some reason and suggested sending Luffy to Marineford to be fostered.
He felt there was nothing wrong with this.
Thus, he dismissed the idea of letting Mayor Slap and the others help raise Luffy.
Garp also had no Opinion after hearing this.
He now wholeheartedly wants Luffy to become an excellent Marines after he grows up.
Of course, if the World Government hadn't brought this up, according to the personalities of this father and son.
Luffy would most likely still stay here and live.
But a certain Big Shot would not allow such a thing to happen...
"That's fine too, Ace is a little over four years old this year, they can keep each other company."
Garp echoed from the side, holding Little Luffy.
"Is that so..."
Mayor Slap felt some regret, he actually quite wanted to raise Luffy.
Because his grandson has grown up and is not as cute as before.
"Then are you leaving today, or tomorrow?"
"Hmm..."
Garp was in thought and exchanged a glance with Dragon, saying, "Today then, through 'White Dragon', we can return to Marineford before dinner."
'White Dragon'.
A type of World unique Deep Sea Current System.
It can teleport anything to various Sea Areas at unimaginable speed.
Many years ago, the World Government obtained from the 'Sea Transport King' the patterns of the 'White Dragon's' appearance and methods of utilization, which their Clan had researched for hundreds of years and with countless energy and resources.
And now 'White Dragon' has become the exclusive high-speed sea transport Passage within the World Government.
Marine Headquarters can use it to dispatch its Fleet to any Sea Area within World within twenty-four hours.
"This Old Man still hopes you can stay for one night and have a meal with everyone from Foosha Village."
Mayor Slap stood up and let out a Long Sigh.
"After all, when Luffy was born, although we didn't help much, since there is already a World Hospital in town now, everyone gathered outside the Delivery Room at that time to pray together, and also... cried together."
Garp and Dragon exchanged glances again.
The father and son both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.
"Alright then..."
Just as Garp was about to nod in agreement.
He and Dragon on the Sofa almost simultaneously looked up towards the ceiling.
At this moment, above Goa Kingdom.
In the originally vast azure Firmament.
A Pitch-Black Battleship, approximately five hundred meters in length, with various models of Laser Cannon Barrels distributed all over its body.
Its sides were each printed with a Green Skull Head (Island) wearing an orange-yellow tall hat. It brazenly crashed through a large white cloud and slowly descended.
This scene was successively discovered by the Nobility, Civilians, Police Officers, Doctors, and students on the school Training Ground below, both 'Inside the City' and 'Outside the City'.
But they only showed surprise.
Thinking it was the World Government's latest developed Flying Battleship.
No one would have thought this might be an Alien invasion...
It wasn't until the cannon barrels of the Black Warship began to converge green radiance.
Only then did someone's expression suddenly change drastically.
Not good!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh----
However, it was already too late at this time.
Eerie Green Beams of varying thickness, like an extremely coarse large net.
Continuously poured down onto the Goa Kingdom Capital, and into Foosha Town outside.
Beautiful buildings were destroyed, neat Streets melted into Magma.
Populace who couldn't dodge in time in panic were killed by the sweeping Laser.
Fortunately, World People are not very interested in tall buildings.
So there's no need to worry about being crushed to death by collapsed rebar and cement.
Countless shrieks, Screams, and Explosion Sounds.
Almost in an instant, they resounded throughout the entire Goa Kingdom.
Everyone was stunned.
Could it be that those Pirates have already evolved to the point where they can control Flying Battleships?
"How could this be..."
Kamado Tanjiro tightly held the Little Girl while looking in shock at the Black Warship still firing a large amount of green beams in the sky.
"Mama! Mama! Save my Mama!"
Little Liss shrieked loudly with red eyes.
Because just now a beam hit her own house in front of her.
And her Mama was still in the Kitchen preparing seafood fried noodles!
"Leave it to me!"
Tanjiro immediately drew out the Nichirin Blade from his Waist, holding Little Liss in his arms, and rushed into the collapsed and burning small building.
At this very moment.
He absolutely dared not put the Girl aside...
At this time, the Pitch-Black Battleship in the sky began releasing small carrier-based aircraft one by one.
Not many in quantity, only twenty to thirty ships.
But after they landed, hundreds of strange-shaped, but basically unified uniform Alien Pirates poured out.
They had mocking wild laughter on their faces, using the Laser Guns or cold weapons in their hands to kill every panic-stricken populace frantically fleeing within their line of sight.
But not long after, these Space Pirates encountered the counterattack of police officers from various places and the King's Army Soldiers.
It's just that they didn't have high-power Automatic Firearms.
Resulting in many people often dying on the way of the charge.
But their powerful physique allowed them to possess agile movements, coupled with their numerical advantage, the final Combat still gradually shifted towards melee combat slaughter.
The Space Pirates didn't expect this Planet to actually have so many Warriors.
Among them, only a portion of the Crewmates who were good at fighting or possessed certain Superpowers could resist the attacks of these green-clad Samurai wielding long sabers and capable of releasing various Elemental Illusions.
Fortunately, these blade-wielding Samurai seemed not to adapt to Laser Gun attacks and could easily be killed with one shot.
Those armored and spear-wielding army that seemed extremely ancient were also like this.
Although their bodies were extremely sturdy, and their weapons could also be swung with fierce wind.
But facing the strafing of the warship in the sky and the lasers they fired, they basically fell down in large numbers.
Huala!!
Just as Goa Kingdom fell into chaos.
Heaven and Earth suddenly changed color.
Everyone first felt the light before their eyes dim, and immediately after, surging gale and huge waves swept across the entire nation.
Tanjiro was currently carrying Little Liss on his back, who had just lost her mother and was crying and wailing non-stop.
He continuously used Sun Breathing sword techniques to kill Space Pirates.
But when the rolling wind and waves swept past him, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Because this kind of wind with a certain light green color, he had already seen many times as early as when he was on Sabaody Archipelago.
"It's Minister Dragon, he's actually here too!"
Tanjiro looked up.
He found with immense surprise that the Sky had been completely covered by a thick layer of Green Wind Layer.
No matter how many green lasers that Black Warship fired down, they simply could not break through the air layer's defense and continue to fall onto the Ground.
This made the pressure on the police officers and Royal Army who were fighting the Space Pirates instantly reduced by more than half.
Next, they only needed to slowly surround and kill these damned Pirates!
Dong!!!
Suddenly.
A deafening loud noise appeared, suppressing all sounds from everyone in Goa Kingdom.
The next moment.
Many people, including Kamado Tanjiro, all saw that the front part of the Black Warship, which had killed countless people, instantly caved in.
Immediately after, the entire Hull was blasted away towards the Great Sea outside the island in the violent explosion air current.
That was a giant metal ship nearly five hundred meters long!
At this time, they only then noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow in the High Altitude.
Like black Inazuma, it rapidly chased after that Pitch-Black Battleship.
Wherever it went, layers of sound bursts continuously exploded...
At this time, the World Government had already received urgent reports from various places.
Because those attacked by Space Pirates were not just the Moon and Goa Kingdom in the East Blue.
The North Blue, South Blue, West Blue, First Half of the Grand Line, New World, as well as certain cities on the Red Line also suffered attacks from Black Warships one after another.
Facing such a sudden situation.
The Army Headquarters, Air Force Headquarters, and Marine Headquarters stationed within Sea Star Mainland all sounded sharp alarm sounds.
And also the Ministry of Police Affairs and Cipher Pol also rioted together.
"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!!!"
Above Marineford, as Issho's angry roar sounded.
Purple-black gravity twisted large areas of Domain.
Countless green lasers attacking from all over the sky, after being twisted, quickly deviated from their trajectory and shot towards the sea surrounding Marineford.
That Space Warship, under the effect of powerful gravity.
While emitting creaking metal breaking sounds, it was visibly twisted into a giant 'black pretzel'.
"The attack was too fierce, I hope other places can be preserved relatively intact..."
On top of the magnificent Fortress of Justice.
Sengoku, dressed in white, muttered softly to himself with a solemn expression.
Like everyone else.
He also didn't expect World would actually have a day when its Homeland is attacked.
The key is that Marine Headquarters can now say there is no Admiral stationed there.
Garp went to the East Blue to see his grandson, and Kuzan went to support the Ninja World.
So he was just about to make a move himself, but was beaten to it by Issho.
Fortunately, this Admiral Candidate is indeed reliable.
"It seems we must quickly let Issho formally be promoted to Admiral..."
Sengoku suddenly felt that this attack wasn't without any benefits.
At least they can let Issho have a more sufficient reason to get further promotion.
New World.
The Nation 'chosen' by the Space Pirates turned out to be Charlotte Linlin's Totto Land Kingdom.
At this moment, above Whole Cake Island.
There was also a Black Warship randomly firing green lasers.
Various houses made of food were destroyed in large numbers, and everywhere was filled with burning flames and the smell of burning.
"Candy Barrier!!"
Just then, Perospero, as BIG MOM's Eldest Son and also actually managing the Totto Land Kingdom, swung the pink Candy Cane Staff uncontrollably enraged.
Immediately, all kinds of candy inside Whole Cake Island shot up into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of colorful candy formed in the Sky, blocking all the green lasers.
However, the next instant.
With the bombardment of a large amount of lasers all over the sky, large and small cracks continuously appeared on the candy layer.
This made Perospero's expression turn ugly.
Now not only is Charlotte Linlin not on the island, moreover, most of the Experts have been absorbed by the World Government into the Military or Police, so he is already considered the Expert here.
But it's very clear, with his Strength, let alone shooting down the Space Warship above, even protecting Whole Cake Island is difficult...
"What to do, what to do..."
Perospero frantically urged the Devil Fruit Ability inside his body, creating more candy to fill into the damaged candy barrier, while anxiously muttering to himself.
"Mama, please come back quickly!"
At this critical juncture, the Residents on the various islands of Totto Land Kingdom, the Homie Soldiers, as well as Linlin's Children who were either weak in strength or too young.
All witnessed in astonishment an enormous fire pillar, like a pillar connecting Heaven and Earth, directly hitting the side armor of the Black Warship under the rolling blurry heatwave.
After a few seconds.
Only to see the entire Black Warship was pierced and incinerated by this terrifying fire pillar...
"If Linlin isn't here, then I will protect her Nation!"
A moment later.
A majestic giant Green Dragon appeared above Whole Cake Island.
"Kaido!!!"
Perospero ecstatically shouted the opponent's name.
Empire Arms World.
Inside Noah's Ark in the Door-Door Space.
Im watched with a cold face the situations in various places on World being played in the Holographic Virtual Image.
Although he could see that the warships of these Space Pirates were being taken down one by one by Experts from various places.
But they did indeed cause not small casualties and destruction.
This made the cold killing intent in his Heart almost solidify into frost...
"Tell the people below to let at least one ship go back!"
Im suddenly turned his head and issued an Order to the Golden Den Den Mushi beside him.
"Hmm?"
The Five Elders opposite were stunned, he didn't understand what this was, but still immediately responded, "Yes, Lord Imu!"
Im didn't pay attention to him anymore.
First, expressionlessly, he opened the 'Star Map'.
Then used his finger to quickly click on a few Space Warships that looked like they had hope of escaping back.
He wanted to know where these Space Pirates came from!
As long as they were still within the Cosmic Star Zone of World.
Or within the Cosmic Star Zone where other planets brought under the Control of 'Star Fate' are located.
The Star Map could perform real-time positioning on these Space Warships that he clicked on.
Next is the problem of how to get there, and then how to fight!
Also, regarding the universe, prevention and defense measures are also urgent.
They must be treated as the highest level Military Plan and implemented.
This time the World Government was caught off guard.
But it absolutely cannot happen a second time!
