Borsalino led five flying warships to the Moon, carrying a gigantic sphere sealed with steel to the front of the deck of Noah's Ark.
"Wow, what a big golden bell tower~"
Borsalino ignored the air force soldiers who were panting and dragging the nearly 600-ton steel ball but looked at the environment of Noah's Ark by himself.
[Crack!]
At that moment, lightning struck from the sky, and the thunder startled Borsalino.
He saw a young man with a white handkerchief on his head, a bare torso and earlobes reaching down to his chest, appearing in the midst of the lightning.
The young man's face was full of pride and confidence, and his gaze was haughty towards everyone.
"I am here to receive the things you sent under the order of Saint Nerona!"
"A Logia-type Devil Fruit user?" Borsalino was surprised.
At this time, Enel took the initiative to come over, looked at Borsalino and chuckled. "You are the current Air Force General, right?"
"Yes~~" Borsalino replied nonchalantly, but he heard Enel say: "My name is Enel, nice to meet you. In the future, I will be the General of the Air Force."
"Really? That's really amazing, but you don't seem to be an adult yet, kid~~" Borsalino teased.
Enel smiled and said: "That's why I said future, old man."
...
Ten minutes later.
Imu was looking at the large steel sphere.
Without Imu making any apparent movement, the surface of the steel sphere began to split in two.
[Buzz!]
In an instant, a blinding golden light flooded the hall. But Imu, being bathed in the golden light, felt a distinct discomfort.
"It seems that this pure gold is not only useless to me, but also harmful."
His body had received the definitive surgery granting him eternal youth nine hundred years ago. But this immortality was different from that offered by pure gold.
Pure gold greatly slows the growth of any living being exposed to its light. Therefore, wounds, poison and other diseases would be greatly slowed down.
This would also prevent the body from improving with training, meaning that for someone who wants to continue getting stronger, it is actually a deadly poison.
So pure gold is more harmful than beneficial to Imu.
Now that Imu began to recall the topic of the immortality surgery, one of the previous Imu's old memories emerged. It was about whether a second person received the immortality surgery, the previous immortal would lose his immortality. Because it can only be effective for one person at a time.
...
Two days later.
Kong of the Command Headquarters received a small white box personally sent by Stussy.
When he opened the lid of the box, he discovered a diamond ring inside.
At this moment, Kong felt extremely excited. Even his eyes were a little red. Because he knew that although it looked like a diamond, it actually contained a small piece of pure gold.
Although the volume was not very large, it was enough to ensure that his body would no longer continue to age with time.
As for the problem of his strength becoming stagnant, what did that matter compared to eternal life?
Kong had long stopped thinking about going further. His age was already too advanced, he had no more potential to exploit.
In fact, Kong did not expect to be given a piece of pure gold. But now it was already on his finger, which made him completely devoted to the World Government.
In the following days the Five Elders and Kong devoted more effort to their respective tasks.
At the same time, the 200,000 construction workers brought from the Demon Slayer World have been assigned to the construction sites of various major projects.
First is the railway construction project around the Red Earth Continent.
Then, the spring, summer, autumn, and winter areas of the red earth continent were designated as the Great Region of the World Government Academy City.
There is also the area on the red earth continent that will be the camp of Dimensional Gate No. 0003.
After that, the construction of the Air Force Headquarters on Sky Island also needs more workers, and the construction of power stations in various places.
The future goal of the World Government is to make every island with a town have access to electricity.
So the Academy of Sciences is conducting technical experiments and reserves for tidal power generation, geothermal power generation, wind power generation, and even solar power generation.
In addition, the venue for the World Tournament, which will take place next year, is also under construction.
Not only that, the Giant Footballfish was not killed or released, but Hozumi sent a dumpling to the navy to control it.
Next, Crocus from the Faculty of Medicine worked with the Academy of Sciences and the Department of Construction to transform the Giant Footballfish's body and its three stomachs into a naval base that can be used for military purposes.
The Giant Footballfish is not only gigantic but can also move freely in the depths of the sea, at more than ten thousand meters deep, making it the ultimate biological submarine, so this project also needs a large number of workers.
After this, the Administrative Department discovered that the 200,000 workers of the Demon Slayer World were not enough, so they could only ask the higher levels for instructions.
Finally, the Five Elders ordered to bring in another 500,000 workers and all the famous architects of the Demon Slayer world.
In short, the entire Starfish World was plunged into a period of great development.
Under the direction of the Other Worlds Strategic Committee, the human and natural resources of the Kabane World and the Demon Slayer World were transferred day and night to Starfish World through the dimensional gates.
...
Time passes, and once again, Starfish World welcomed a new year.
It is now January 1st of the year 1500 of the Age of the Sea Circle, which means that this world has entered the 16th century.
Wano Country, in the Flower Capital.
A sprawling, quiet complex sat quietly in the eastern suburbs.
This place was granted as a new territory to the Ubuyashiki family and the people of the Demons Slayer World by the World Government.
"No!"
Suddenly, a panicked scream rudely woke Amane up.
"What's wrong, Kagaya?" Amane sat down and turned on the lights, then looked at her husband in confusion, but found that he was sweating profusely.
"Huh... Okay, looks like I had a nightmare." Kagaya replied softly, covering his face with his right palm.
After Muzan became the 'perfect creature' the curse that affected the Ubuyashiki family was broken. Now Kagaya has changed drastically and is no longer distinguishable from a healthy person.
"Was it just a nightmare? You scared me, I thought..." Amane hugged Kagaya's arm, looking at him with concern.
"But I always feel that this dream is not just a dream." Kagaya frowned and said softly.
"It's very clear, and the scene in the dream looks like a picture of the future, but I have never predicted the future in my sleep, so I'm not sure."
The men of the Ubuyashiki family had always had a special and mysterious ability.
They could vaguely sense what events would benefit or harm them in the future, allowing them to obtain funds for the Demon Slayer Corps through business and prevent impending disasters. However, each use of this ability consumed part of their lifespan, and due to their fragile constitution from the curse, they could only use it a few times in their entire life.
But a spontaneous vision of the future, such as tonight's, was something unheard of.
Amane asked curiously: "So what did you see?"
"I saw an army pass through the dimensional gate into a barren world, and Sanemi was among them, and then they were bombarded by countless artillery fire, and then we attended Sanemi's funeral..." Kagaya's expression darkened as he described his dream.
To him, every member of the Demon Slayer Corps was like a child.
"Is that so." Amane pondered.
If her husband's dream was truly a vision of the future, it meant that the World Government had been ambushed in their attempt to invade another world.
"What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? If I want to save Sanemi, it seems that there is no other way." Kagaya sighed. His ability to predict the future seemed to have changed with his recovery.
In the morning, Kagaya accompanied by his wife, arrived at the ancient Orochi castle.
Twenty minutes later.
Kagaya explained everything to Mihawk. After listening, the latter also understood the importance of the matter.
After thanking Kagaya, Mihawk took out a special Den-Den Mushi and relayed the information to Imu.
Imu, upon hearing the report, suppressed his shock and asked Mihawk to inform the Five Elders. After ending the call, he couldn't contain his uneasiness. Something strange was happening.
"What's going on? Will the army be ambushed as soon as the third Dimensional Gate opens?"
