OPI Chapter 184: Three Day Deadline for Elbaf
🕑 Added 2024-06-24 02:26:19 +0000 UTCStarfish World, Biochemical Research Institute
Arata Soue was in his own research room. "Finally succeeded. With it, I will definitely be promoted to a doctor of the Academy of Sciences!"
Arata Soue looked at the black suit on the table with burning eyes. Although he was called a doctor, his level was actually only that of a senior researcher. As someone from another world, he had ambitions to stand out in the Starfish World.
For Arata Soue, although the physical capabilities of the people of the Kabane World were inferior to those of the Starfish World, the brain structure was similar. In terms of intelligence and IQ, there was not much difference.
For those like him, the best way to compete with the people of Starfish World was through scientific research.
So he has been thinking about making a big invention to completely establish his position in the Institute of Biochemistry and even the entire Academy of Sciences.
And this suit was the answer!
Made from the heart skin of Kabane, the black threads of Nue, and living materials from demons, this protective suit was his masterpiece.
When putting on the suit, small needles in the inner lining penetrated the skin, causing no pain. Some blood was then transferred to the suit through these needles, giving the suit a surface impenetrable to bullets and knives.
Upon receiving a strong impact, the suit instantly generated black plates to increase protection.
If the suit was damaged, all that was needed was to pour fresh blood on it, even animal blood, and it would quickly regenerate to its original state.
... One month later.
Arata Soue was successfully promoted to doctor at the Academy of Sciences.
In the Kabane processing factories in the world of Kabane, biological suits of different sizes were mass produced.
...
"Wow!"
"What a big elephant! It's too big! Look at it, Ikoma!" Hozumi was very excited.
“Yes, it’s really impressive. Is that Zunesha?” Ikoma also watched in amazement at the gigantic animal in the sea.
Zou is now being transformed into an air force base by workers from the Construction Department.
“From now on, this will be our home. I can’t believe we actually live on the back of an elephant!” Hozumi looked at Ikoma with eyes full of happiness.
She was no longer a Nue. Thanks to two doses of white blood, she had become a human again and left CP-Nue.
However, she did not completely quit the organization of Cipher Pol but continued to serve the World Government as a member of CP1.
Ikoma, for his part, was still a mid-level researcher at the Institute of Science. He had asked for a few days' leave to accompany Hozumi.
“Hozumi, you should be more worried about whether you can control Zunesha.” Ikoma said with some concern.
"It should be fine. I have tried my ability many times before. It will definitely work as long as it is an animal!" Hozumi raised his chin confidently and smiled.
“I hope so. If not, you will have spent a lot of time training in vain.”
Ikoma had thoughts he did not share. If Hozumi failed, his value to the World Government would diminish, and his treatment would surely worsen.
“Ikoma, don’t just talk about me. How are you doing at the Weapons Research Institute?” Hozumi asked softly.
“Everything is going well. I am in charge of improving and developing the jet bullets. At first, the atmosphere was quite tense, and few wanted to talk to me.”
Ikoma didn't say much about those unhappy things.
“But everything changed when a boy named Buggy arrived. The institute became much livelier with their screams and the explosions during the gunpowder tests.”
“Buggy is very funny. He has a round red nose, but he hates being called red nose. Even if someone mentions him indirectly, he gets furious.”
“And his body is amazing. No matter how big the explosion is, apart from a little singeing of his hair, he doesn’t suffer serious damage.”
Ikoma is very envious of Buggy's physique. If it were him, he would have been lying in the coffin a long time ago.
“Do you get along with him?” Hozumi asked curiously.
Ikoma nodded and smiled. “Yes, Buggy became interested in me when he found out I was from another world. We became friends.”
“We made a pact: when he finishes his Buggy Powder, we will combine it with my Jet bullets to create a projectile capable of crossing an island in a single shot.”
...
Half an hour later.
The flying warship stopped near Zunesha's mouth. At that moment, Hozumi and Ikoma were so scared that they couldn't say a word.
Fortunately, at this moment, a soft voice sounded behind them. "Don't worry, Zunesha has a good temperament and won't attack us. Soon it will be time for Zunesha to feed. I will fly you Hozumi and you have to take the opportunity to throw the dango into its mouth."
The next instant, a hand rested on both of their shoulders, and with a blue flame appearing, their bodies began to relax.
Hozumi and Ikoma turned around, looking gratefully at the person behind them. "Thank you, Lieutenant General Marco."
"Hozumi-chan, are you afraid of heights?"
Hozumi shook her head and said firmly: "No, I'm not afraid. Don't worry, I won't fail."
"You are very reliable~" Marco smiled approvingly.
But at this time, Hozumi showed her mischievous nature. "Lieutenant General Marco, I heard that my Millet-Millet Fruit ability also works on Zoan type Devil Fruit users. Do you want to try one out?"
As he said this, he pinched a dango from his cheek and placed it in his palm, joking.
"Don't do that, Hozumi!" Ikoma quickly stopped her and then bowed apologetically to Marco. "I'm so sorry, please don't pay attention to her."
"Hehe." Hozumi chuckled.
"Uh, haha, it's okay, don't worry." Marco stood up and scratched his nose in some discomfort. He didn't dare eat the dango.
"Well, well, Zunesha is about to start eating. Save that dango for him~"
...
At the port of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, an official ship of the World Government had just docked at the pier.
"Once again, thank you for coming, Your Majesty King Riku Doldo III."
Walking down the wooden bridge, a man in a black suit showed a warm smile on his face, making him look friendly.
"No, no, no, you shouldn't thank me. You should thank Vice President Coulson for helping Dressrosa earlier." King Riku shook hands with him and sighed.
King Riku then led Coulson and the other officials to the other side of the island, crossing a long steel suspension bridge until they reached the shore of another small island.
This island was Green Bit, north of Dressrosa.
The Tontatta Kingdom of the Dwarves is located underground on this island. Coulson once came when he was still working for the Administrative Department and invited them to join the World Government but was rejected mainly due to an old feud with the Donquixote family.
"Coulson, are you sure you can convince them this time?" King Riku looked nervous and expectant.
He had to be very worried, because as long as the Tontatta Tribe agreed to serve the World Government, the Dressrosa Kingdom would become a Plant Cultivation Technology Research center of the World Government.
In addition to the supportive policies and resources, a large agricultural academy would be built on the island, the benefits to Dressrosa were obvious.
"Of course, this time I have brought two very special types of plants that I am sure the Tontatta Tribe will find interesting." Coulson smiled confidently.
It was said that the Tontatta Tribe could cultivate any kind of plant. And the special Wisteria as well as the Blue Spider Lily from the Demon Slayer World would surely be tempting to them.

Mary Geoise, Room of Authority.
“Look at the report sent by Doflamingo. His shipping company has developed well and can already undertake the circulation of materials in the North Blue and the South Blue.” Mars commented.
"Humph, with the help of the World Government and having control over the 'White Dragon's' movements, if he can't do it, he should be sent back to join those useless people in the Domain of the Gods." V. Nusjuro replied indifferently.
"Don't talk like that. Low-level Celestial Dragons also have their role." Warcury replied as he flipped through the reports with a fake smile.
At this time, Saturn sighed. "Speaking of which, the 'White Dragon' is truly amazing. With the Deep Ocean Current, our ships only need one coating and can quickly travel between the Four Blue and the Grand Line."
"This is Coulson's report. The Tontatta Tribe have agreed to join the Agriculture Academy to cultivate various plants from the local world and other worlds for us, but they will not be leaving the Kingdom of Dressrosa for the time being." Warcury said.
Mars sighed. "It seems they still don't fully trust us. These little ones sure do hold a grudge, it's been 800 years already!"
"The Tontatta Tribe are pure and kind-hearted in nature. They tend to believe the words of others unless they are explicitly told it is a lie." Ju Peter commented. "This character allows them to remember both kindness and hatred, they are a very simple race."
Warcury nodded. "If we treat them well, we will eventually gain their trust. Besides, we just need them to do their job well."
"Finally, it's about Elbaf." Warcury looked at the documents in his hand, his expression became serious.
"Didn't the administrative department send someone to talk? Why, did they refuse?" V. Nusjuro asked coldly.
"They have not refused, but they have not accepted either. The report says that King Farbauti needs a few days to consider the proposal but did not specify a time frame."
"Then let's give them a deadline." V. Nusjuro said firmly. "If they haven't given an answer to join by the deadline, then I will ask Lord Imu to flatten Elbaf!"
After thinking for a moment, Warcury agreed to his proposal. "Fine, then we'll give the Elbaf royal family three days. If they don't respond, the high command will give orders to Garp, Whitebeard, and Big Mom."
