Pangaea Castle, Socializing Plaza.
Imu was sitting on a lounge chair reading a book, while Stussy and the Giant Guards stood silently to the side.
At this moment, a maid came over with a Den-Den Mushi in her hand and said respectfully. "My Lord, there is a call for you."
"Say."
"Saint Nerona, I wanted to inform you that the final preparations for Noah's Ark have almost been completed. Furthermore, the equipment and weapons of the Giant Guards have already been prepared. Do you wish to have them handed over to them now?"
"Send it over!" Imu was also intrigued by what the Five Elders had prepared for Saul and the others.
"Understood."
...
An hour later.
A group of Holy Land Guard soldiers, under the command of Stussy, pushed three large wooden boxes.
"Open them."
"Yes!"
Imu got up from the lounger and calmly observed the contents of the boxes.
The next moment, three sets of shining armor appeared, with blood-red lines running across its surface.
On top of that, there were also white cloaks stacked to the side and various types of weapons of the same color as the armor.
"How gorgeous..." Saul, Kashii, and Oimo were immediately attracted by the weapons and equipment prepared for them.
"Put it on."
After hearing the order from Imu, Saul and the others walked forward quickly with excitement on their faces.
After a moment, the three of them, fully equipped, stood together in front of Imu.
"This is what it really means to be a Giant Warrior..." Imu narrowed his eyes and looked up happily at the golden giants that appeared in front of him.
However, only having three people seemed to be too little for Imu. In his mind, his own Giant Guard should have at least twelve members.
...
Meanwhile, three warships were sailing quickly towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
They were Kuzan's fleet returning from the Jewel Ice Sheet.
After escorting the government ship full of treasure to the Red Earth Continent, of course, it is time to return to Fishman Island, but before that, the warships must be coated with the resin of the Yarukiman Mangroves.
Inside one of the warships, Kuzan was standing outside a cell looking at Chinjao, and asked: "After hearing what I said, what is your choice?"
Chinjao remained silent as he pondered the conditions proposed by Kuzan or the World Government. He was allowed to join the army headquarters as an army lieutenant general and be responsible for teaching Hasshoken.
If he accepts, he will not be forced to go to Impel Down, and he will also be able to obtain a certain degree of freedom. The most important thing is that they will help him get his pointy head back. This is the most important thing for him!
In Chinjao's heart, nothing is more important than his own head! "Boy, let me ask you, how do you plan to restore my head?"
"Alalalala, that's easy. Whoever flattened your head just needs to hit it again to fix it~" Kuzan said with a smile.
"What?!" When Chinjao heard these words that were like a joke, her eyes suddenly opened wide in shock.
…
Late at night, Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
"Lord Imu, the first phase of Wano Country has been completed, but there were some accidents..."
After hearing Mihawk's report, Imu raised his eyebrows. "What accident?"
"Kurozumi Semimaru was beaten to death by Kaido, Kozuki Toki bit his tongue and committed suicide. Kozuki Momonosuke, Kozuki Hiyori, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi and Raizo were sent to a certain point in the future."
Imu was instantly speechless. Those people were all important targets that he had personally selected. Some of the skills of the mentioned people were important to the World Government at this time. This meant a severe loss for the World Government.
"Lord Imu, following your orders, I will temporarily act as the Shogun of Wano Country and build the Ninja Village, the Sword God Dojo, develop the Seastone mine, and control the swordsmithing artisans."
After finishing the call, Imu began to reflect on next steps.
"After the Supreme Government Council is convened, the matter of the Dimensional Gate and the other world will be made public within the World Government. The conquest of the Kabane World has basically been completed. Then should I open the second Dimensional Gate?"
Now that he knew something about the world on the other side, Imu no longer feared the Dimensional Gates as much as before. The Dimensional Doors will probably lead to the various anime worlds from his previous life.
Of course, Imu wouldn't let his guard down completely, as there were anime with civilizations even more powerful than the World Government.
"I don't know what world the second dimensional gate will be..."
…
As Mihawk said, the situation in Wano is basically under the control of the World Government.
From now on, Kaido and King will remain in Onigashima, maintaining a constant threat posture towards the Flower Capital. This will give Mihawk an excuse to quickly take control of Wano in order to confront Kaido.
In fact, many people have noticed that something is wrong with this whole situation, but they have no other option. Most of the combatants were killed during the battle against the Beast Pirates.
...
At the same time.
The world outside is also moving forward moment by moment.
For example, Chinjao, who successfully arrived at Fishman Island, endured Garp's laughter and mockery and eventually received an iron fist to regain his pointy head. And then he set out for the Red Earth continent.
He must first report to Zephyr at the Ministry of Military Affairs, because all instructors at military academies are under Zephyr's supervision, as is him, Hasshoken's next instructor at the Army Military Academy.
At the same time, Zephyr's asthma has also been treated, meaning his combat power has been restored.
On Fishman Island, with Kuzan's return, Garp will naturally return to Marineford. After all, with Sengoku's promotion to Fleet Admiral, he was the only Admiral in the entire Navy, and could no longer leave Marineford at will. This is really uncomfortable for Garp who is used to running around freely...
...
Red Earth Continent, Dimensional Gate Base of Kabane World.
A special group of people slowly left the Base.
Most of them were dressed in crisp white coats and wore a variety of glasses with different styles.
However, there were also several individuals dressed in black, standing out in the crowd.
"Ah, so this is another world, it doesn't seem much different~" Hozumi looked curiously at the surrounding buildings. She is the 'heroine' of the Kabane world and is currently a member of the Cipher Pol-Nue team.
"There is still a certain difference. The air here is very fresh." Ikoma stood next to Hozumi and smiled softly.
After hearing his words, Hozumi pursed her lips and looked at him with a sad expression. "Ikoma, we are going to separate soon. I heard that you are going to a place far away. I don't know when the next meeting will be."
"I heard it's a place called Punk Hazard..." There was a trace of reluctance in Ikoma's eyes. But to prevent Hozumi from feeling too uncomfortable, he quickly took out a Den-Den Mushi from the pocket of his white coat to comfort her. "But we already have this, right? We can keep in touch regularly!"
"While the Den-Den Mushi is great, it's not the same as seeing each other in person. We must commit to seeing each other at least once a year and spend at least seven days together each time we see each other."
Hozumi stared at Ikoma with her very serious eyes, causing him to scratch his head in embarrassment and say: "It's okay, no problem."
"Haven't you two said enough nonsense to each other? The Biochemistry Institute is leaving!" At this moment, Steve Gus, the captain of CP-Nue, became impatient and pointed to Dean Fritz and the others who were walking away.
In other words, he wanted Ikoma to leave quickly and stop being too affectionate with the youngest member of the team, it was pretty disgusting! She's only twelve years old!
"Hozumi, make sure you stay safe, promise me!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll try my best to survive!" After saying that, Hozumi stood on tiptoe and gave Ikoma a kiss on the cheek before turning and running towards where Horobi and Blue Heart were.
Ikoma touched the place where she kissed him and smiled foolishly, then ran towards where Dean Fritz and the others were.
...
At the same time.
On Mary Geoise, a huge ship floated in the sky. The shadow it cast when blocking the sun gave an intense feeling of fear due to its immensity.
Imu put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Noah's Ark.
Honestly speaking, Imu believes that using such a large ship as his personal means of transportation is a waste. It would be better to use it as the headquarters of the future Air Force. "Even getting on this ship will require walking two hundred meters of stairs..."
To fill Noah's Ark, the Five Elders had prepared thirty thousand soldiers of the Sacred Guard, responsible for patrolling, guarding, controlling the cannons, and performing other security tasks aboard the Ark.
In addition, there were a large number of service personnel in areas such as medicine, cooking, entertainment, administration, and technology. Cipher Pol also had one hundred elite members on board, with Stussy as commander.
Stussy was following Imu as they boarded the Ark. Although she was the one who brought Noah's Ark, she was still shocked by the scene. She suddenly realized that 'Saint Nerona' could be more than just a replacement for the Five Elders.
