OPI Chapter 212: Tides of Change
🕑 Added 2024-07-28 21:50:46 +0000 UTCThe World Government is continuing its global operation to eliminate the governments of all the countries in the Titan World. It is an entire civilization, and converting most of its territory into industrial zones is a process that undoubtedly requires a great deal of time and effort.
Furthermore, the World Government plans to relocate over a million Eldians from the Marley concentration camp to Paradis Island, so the cooperation of the Navy and Army is required.
The Navy, using the warships of the Demon Slayer World, has begun to carry out the mobilization task. Fortunately, Paradis Island is very close to Marley, making the process easier.
However, this has caused the ports on both sides to be overcrowded. Every day, dozens of warships and transport ships make round trips, carrying groups of Eldians to Paradis Island, where soldiers and administrative staff on Paradis Island assign them to different areas.
Then, these Eldians are separated into two main groups, those who are brainwashed and absolutely loyal to Marley and those who still retain some independence. The Eldians who still retain their independence are directed to the various industrial factories to receive a certain degree of training before they begin working. On the other hand, the Eldians who are blindly loyal to Marley are turned into Pure Titans with the power of the Founding Titan controlled by Historia. The Pure Titans are then fitted with the control devices developed by Vinsmoke Judge, before being assigned to tasks such as cutting down trees, demolishing buildings, helping in the construction of roads, fortifications and other facilities.
In addition, a portion of the Pure Titans are also sent to the various caverns where the iceburst stone is generated to extract it and another portion is sent to collect the iron bamboo, at the same time that they help in the expansion of the iron bamboo cultivation areas.
All this activity has brought an unprecedented bustle to Paradis Island. Everywhere you look, there are Pure Titans led by different people doing different jobs. All healthy people over the age of 18 have assigned tasks.
Meanwhile, Queen Historia, dressed in an elegant white dress embroidered with the Celestial Phoenix, met for the first time with her entourage specially assigned to her by the World Government. Among them were three thousand guards from the Holy Land, thirty elites from CP-7, and ten elite maids.
Additionally, Mikasa and Levi were assigned to her as personal guards.
Although Mikasa held great resentment towards the World Government due to Eren's death, after talking with Levi several times, she agreed to collaborate. Because in her opinion, Eren sacrificed himself for the Eldians, so he had to protect Queen Historia, the only remaining member of the Eldian royal family.
In addition, the World Government also assigned the Azumabito and Tybur families to assist Historia in managing complex tasks such as the administration of orphanages. The assets of these families also became the property of Historia.
Overall, Imu directly prepared her own power for Historia, and future resources would be up to her to acquire.
Meanwhile, Imu is busy adjusting the position of several dimensional gates according to the Five Elders' plan. This kind of thing can only be done by himself.
...
After finishing relocating the Dimensional Gates, Imu returned to the Titan World.
While he was in his office reviewing the various documents sent, he saw the report on the constant relocation and recruitment of personnel in the Demon Slayer World. After all, the area where the Dimensional Gate was placed in the Demon Slayer World will become a large military base, and the size will be equivalent to that of a small country.
However, although a sparsely populated area on the African continent had been chosen, Imu knew that mass recruitment of personnel would trigger a large number of revolts in most places, since covering the large number of people required could not be achieved by peaceful means.
After all, these people will become simple workers. In a modern society, turning hundreds of thousands of people into dead-end workers will cause some people to fight against it.
“Oh? Are you guys thinking of letting Kuzan take charge of suppressing the riots that are happening?”
Imu immediately understood the Five Elders' plan: they want to give Kuzan enough military credit to later promote him to Admiral.
Only, because of Kuzan's nature, he felt that he couldn't handle this kind of task.
"Well, the future conquest of other worlds will definitely become more cruel. It would be good if that guy could realize this as soon as possible." Imu sighed.
Besides, it's not like Kuzan is going to do a massacre.
Suddenly Imu remembered another matter. “Speaking of which, it’s already the year 1500. Isn’t the return of the Ohara archaeological excavation team approaching?”
“I wonder how many Poneglyphs they have found for me.”
...
A girl with short black hair is sitting on the edge of a rock on an island, while watching the sea carefully. Next to her lies a book entitled History of World Archaeology.
Robin, who was only eight years old, looked nervously at the horizon, looking a little nervous, although her eyes reflected great expectation.
Robin's childhood was not a good one. When she was two, her mother went to sea with an archaeological team, leaving her in the care of her uncle's family.
However, that family did not accept her and, over time, their attitude towards her became increasingly hostile.
What hurt her most was the way the children on the island considered her a monster for her unusual abilities, joining together to bully and mistreat her.
Fortunately, the scholars led by Doctor Clover treated her very well, and the library within the Tree of Knowledge became her home. Thanks to her impressive talent, she quickly mastered knowledge related to archaeology.
A week ago, she passed the doctoral exam with a perfect score, officially becoming an Ohara archaeologist.
After that she could feel that the islanders' gaze towards her had changed.
However, what matters most to her and makes her happiest right now are the words Doctor Clover told her last night:
"The expedition team is coming back."
"And of course, Olvia is on board too."
She will soon be able to see her mother, either today or tomorrow! That's why she is so eager.
After forty minutes, Robin jumps up, excited to see a medium-sized ship appear on the horizon.
"Here it comes!"
The next moment, Robin grabbed the book beside her and ran towards the island's port, her face flushed with excitement.
"Mom is finally back!"
"You won't go out to sea again, will you?"
"Even if she has to go out to sea, I'm already an archaeologist, so I have the right to go with her!"
Shortly after, exhausted from the race, she spotted Doctor Clover, waiting at the dock with a group of academics.
Robin ran towards him smiling happily. "Doctor, Mom and the others are back!"
"Yes, I just contacted them." Clover looks at the girl kindly.
Ten minutes later.
An old, worn-out boat stopped in front of the dock. Then a group of tired academics began to disembark from the ship.
When Olvia got off the boat, she suddenly heard the excited voice of a little girl.
"Mom! Mom!"
The next second, Robin lunged forward into Olvia's arms.
"Mom, Mom, Mom, you are finally back, I miss you so much!"
Robin's eyes filled with tears as he looked at Olvia.
"Yes, I'm back. Glad you're okay!"
Olvia hugged Robin tightly, while her eyes also filled with tears.
Meanwhile, the other members of the exploration team also hug and comfort their families and friends, creating a warm atmosphere on the dock.
After the mother and daughter's emotions finally began to calm down, Clover walked over and said to Olvia with a smile: "Robin is very talented. She passed our doctorate exam a week ago. Now she is also an archaeologist like you!"
"Oh?" Olvia looks at her daughter in surprise. "That's impressive. There must not be another eight-year-old academic in the whole world."
"Hehehe~" Robin felt happy to be recognized by her mother.
"So, the expedition was successful?" Clover asked softly.
Olvia nodded and replied: "Yes, we found sixteen places. Tomorrow at the Tree of Knowledge we will give more details."
But just as Doctor Clover was about to reply, suddenly, a cold voice was heard.
"There is no need to wait until tomorrow. Everyone will have to come with us today!"
In an instant, the dock fell completely silent. Clover, Olvia, and the other scholars' faces filled with worry as they turned toward the source of the voice.
Suddenly, three people from the waiting group stripped off their clothes, revealing black suits underneath.
"Who are you?!" Clover looked at them in shock.
"We are agents of the World Government." One of the agents said in a cold voice, while looking at the archaeologists. Then his sharp eyes fall on Olvia.
"You have repeatedly ignored the World Government's warnings and have been searching and studying the history of the Void Century that is forbidden by law. We will now arrest you and take you to Enies Lobby for trial."
At the same time, two Navy warships slowly approached Ohara.
Robin stands frozen in amazement.
