OPI Chapter 179: Lunar Expedition
🕑 Added 2024-06-15 21:02:46 +0000 UTC"Wow, it's really spectacular~~" Aramaki said, looking at the huge iron door that was slowly opening. "This is the legendary Gate of Justice, it's really amazing!"
Soon, an island with a strong military atmosphere appeared before Aramaki: the imposing fortress of Justice, the numerous cannons and the rows of warships docked in the port.
His heart began to race with excitement. As the warship slowly docked, he couldn't contain his feelings.
"I must stand at the top of the human class!"
The sailors on deck looked at each other with strange expressions.
[Polu-porupuru, Polu-porupuru]
At that moment, the Den-Den Mushi sounded in the pocket of the major in charge of the warship.
"Major Chaplin, don't take Aramaki to Marineford. Take him directly to Red Port."
Huh? The Major was puzzled. He wanted to ask, but the call had already been cut off. He thought to himself, 'What's wrong with Fleet Admiral Sengoku? Does taking him to Red Port mean...?'
"Major, can I go down now?"
Aramaki seemed impatient, so the Major had to explain to him what had happened.
"Ah?"
"Why do I have to go to Red Port? I want to join the Navy!"
Aramaki was dumbfounded.
...
Ten minutes earlier, in the Fleet Admiral's office at Marineford, Sengoku's scream rang out, shaking the entire fortress of justice.
"This Aramaki wants to join our navy! The navy! Not the army!"
"How many talents do you want to take away from the navy?"
But the Den-Den Mushi on his desk stared at him coldly.
"We've investigated. Aramaki is a user of the Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Woods-Woods Fruit. His abilities cannot be deployed at sea, relying heavily on land. Therefore, he is more suited for the Army."
"Sengoku, you should know what kind of era we are in now. Every high-potential talent should be placed in the most suitable position."
Sengoku was speechless, but his face was still livid.
When the call ended, he slumped back into his chair, closing his eyes as if he had lost all his strength.
"Tsk, a talent who came of his own free will, and he hasn't even entered the door before being taken away by those guys..." Garp sneered.
Seeing that Sengoku did not respond, he continued eating his senbei.
...
“Aramaki appeared?” Imu was shocked when he read the report sent by the Five Elders.
"Is he ambitious, admires Sakazuki, and agrees with his absolute justice, as well as regards the Celestial Dragons as gods of this world?"
Imu looked at the details about Aramaki and found it very interesting.
On the other hand, the Navy Headquarters is really miserable, but this is not okay!
Although Imu had been deliberately suppressing the Navy's strength and power before, he also understood its importance to the world's safety.
“If there are suitable talents next, some should be left for the Navy.”
After putting this matter aside, Imu continued reading. As his strength continued to increase, Imu noticed that his mind was similar to a supercomputer and could remember everything he read, so in the recent period he had decided to acquire as much knowledge as possible so as not to waste this ability.
He had barely read for half an hour when Stussy called, saying that the custom Nichirin sword he had ordered made was ready.
Then he came to the hall outside.
Stussy held an extraordinary longsword, as she approached Imu.
"Saint Nerona, this is the Nichirin Sword, created by the finest blacksmiths on Wano Island, using the art of Supreme Grade meito to combine the highest purity of Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand, Scarlet Ore, and Sea Stone."
"Oh~"
Imu, intrigued by the description, moved his hand and the sword flew towards him.
The sheath came apart, revealing a blade as black as night.
He reached out and grabbed the hilt.
[Buzz!]
Suddenly, a faint humming sound rang out from the blade of the sword, followed by a pure golden glow that quickly covered the original black of the blade.
At this, Imu gradually increased the strength with which he held the sword. As expected, the temperature of the sword began to rise sharply, causing the air around it to heat up as well.
In an instant, a golden and red flame began to burn on the blade.
"Stussy, give the order. In three days, the ark sets sail for the moon."
"Ah?" Stussy was stunned, doubting whether she had heard correctly.
...
Two days passed in a flash.
Noah's Ark, using hundreds of high-pressure jet propulsion devices at its base, began to ascend.
Imu looked up at the sky with an expression of anticipation.
He was about to go to the moon! Something that in his previous life he could only dream of, he could now experience in person.
Imu had ordered a flying warship to go up first, leading the way while the holy guard on board monitored the atmospheric conditions.
Any abnormalities were to be reported immediately!
"Saint Nerona, Captain Doyle reports that they are about to enter Earth-Moon space but have not detected any anomalies. Oxygen levels have not changed significantly." Clemente reported respectfully.
"Oh really?"
Imu was surprised to hear this. This went against his knowledge. Or maybe this world was just that wonderful?
What else can be said about this, just accept the reality!
More than three hours have passed.
The flying warship reported that it had reached the moon and landed softly on the surface.
As a result, there is air on the moon.
Except for the desolate landscape and the brighter starry sky, there wasn't much difference.
"It's amazing... In this world, the moon is inside the planet's atmosphere," Imu commented, with a mix of amazement and acceptance.
Imu walked to the edge of the deck, looking out at the vast silver world below.
"Clement, send out all the Holy Guard troops. I want them to find the ancient underground city!"
"Yes, Saint Nerona!"
Clemente accepted the order immediately and rushed to organize the mission.
Imu thought about it and decided to send Enel as well. "Enel, take provisions for three days and also go look for them."
He felt that maybe, in some mysterious way, luck might be on his side and Enel might find something.
"Yes, sir!" Enel responded respectfully, then turned into a flash of light.
"Ah, that boy forgot to bring supplies!" Said Tesoro, exasperated by his new partner.
"Anyone who wants to come down and take a look can do so." With that, Imu rose towards the heights of the moon.
…
High above the Moon, Imu had confirmed that the Moon had an atmosphere, probably due to some modification made by the Moon's ancient inhabitants.
Furthermore, he had confirmed that ordinary humans could not survive in space. But Busoshoku Haki could withstand the extreme cold and radiation of space, but it was constantly being consumed every second.
As for the lack of oxygen, Imu used his Divine Territory to seal a large amount of air, forming a temporary atmosphere.
Finally, through tests conducted with Enel, it was confirmed that Logia-type Devil Fruit users could survive in space if they maintained their elemental state.
"Is this my planet?" Imu murmured in wonder.
"It's so beautiful."
Imu had never thought that he would be able to look at Starfish World from this perspective.
Just then a notification appears about a new feature on the Star Map.
The Star Map was actually very infrequent. It only notified Imu once a year about the possibility of opening a new dimensional gate, or, as on a previous occasion, about the possibility of upgrading a medium dimensional gate. Otherwise, it showed no activity.
[Advanced Star Chart permissions fulfilled, enabling Planetary Dominance feature.]
Imu raised an eyebrow and began reading the description of the new feature.
The so-called 'Planetary Dominance' feature was divided into one requirement and three main uses.
From now on, you could use the Star Map to control the illuminated planets, such as moving them in space. However, the effects of these movements and the consequences would be your responsibility.
The second use allowed the destruction of illuminated planets. The process was simple and could be done remotely using the Star Map.
The third use was also very practical: he could survey any place on the planet using the Star Map.
Of course, these functions have a requirement.
The requirement was that the planet had to be illuminated and Imu had to have lived on it for at least three years. To be honest, Imu didn't understand why.
"That means the only planet that meets this requirement right now is Starfish World."
Imu silently looked at the bright blue planet in front of him. But he didn't dare to use this function yet, so for the time being, he couldn't use it. To test it, he would have to stay in another world for at least three years.
