OPI Chapter 177: Warfare Unleashed
🕑 Added 2024-06-14 14:55:11 +0000 UTC"Since everyone is here, let's head to the conference room. I will present the operations plan and the tasks that each of you will have to take on." Crocodile took two steps forward. Although he is only a lieutenant general, he is the chief of the army in the Demon Slayer World.
Just like Bullet is now in charge of the Kabane World.
Therefore, no one opposed Crocodile. Before long, everyone gathered in a conference room.
Crocodile stood in front of the conference table. Behind him, a board displayed a map of the Demon Slayer world.
"Everyone should have known the basic situation of this world before coming."
"Except for Muzan Kibutsuji and those demons who have been eliminated, there are no individuals with high combat power in this world, and most people are also very weak in physical fitness."
"But they have a very complete industrial system, with a large arsenal of weapons and an army that outnumbers our forces."
Crocodile spent over an hour explaining the situation of the Demon Slayer World's army, highlighting the ground artillery, warships, and air force planes.
"It sounds like there is nothing good except for the large number of people." Bullet sneered.
"You can say that." Crocodile did not deny this, because that was the fact, but he reminded everyone present.
"But they have a lot of people. Cipher Pol estimates that the total military strength of this world exceeds 10 million, or even tens of millions."
Sengoku shook his head.
"It's not that exaggerated. You're overlooking morale. Once they suffer a few major defeats and see no chance of victory, the troops will stop fighting."
With that said, Sengoku looked at his fellow pirates and warned in a grave voice: "I hope you all remember that our mission is to destroy the military and political powers of the countries, not the civilian ones."
"Mama~ I just want to eat the desserts in this world. If they cooperate obediently, mom will be very kind!" Linlin exclaimed excitedly as she licked her lips, saliva dripping from her mouth.
"Gurararara! I will try my best to attack those who attack me, but I can't guarantee that civilians will not be affected!" Edward Newgate laughed heroically.
Jozu and Marco nodded slightly upon hearing their 'father'. However, Byrnndi World, Kaido, King, and others remained silent, and Shiryu merely smiled. This caused Sengoku and Kuzan to frown, but they didn't say anything.
"According to the plan, we will first control the country of Japan, and then subdue the other powerful nations. I will now assign everyone's objectives." Crocodile disagreed with Sengoku's words, thinking he was too naive.
...
Thirty minutes later, huge flocks of birds flew in all directions from the dense sea of trees of Aokigahara.
An army of one hundred thousand soldiers advanced under the command of several officers.
In an instant, the army set out from Mount Fuji.
The operation had begun!
Meanwhile, from the base camp, a golden beam of light first shot out, and then a blue and yellow fiery phoenix flew north. Next, a mythological blue dragon and a flaming pterosaur headed south.
And that wasn't all.
A lava meteor shrouded in black smoke rose up, followed by a goddess surrounded by lightning and wreathed in flames who flew into the sky, laughing wildly.
There were also afterimages that were almost invisible to the naked eye, accompanied by deafening sonic booms, which scattered from the sky above the sea of trees.
...
Imu sat on the Empty Throne of the ark, staring intently at the dozens of virtual screens projected in the air.
Below him, Stussy and the others also watched in silence.
At the same time.
There are also the Five Elders in the Room of Authority, as well as several ministerial and departmental level officials.
Evidently, this first great war of conquest against another world had captured the attention of all the higher-ups of the World Government.
...
Demon Slayer World.
It wasn't long before the news spread.
From Mount Fuji, tens of thousands of black-clad soldiers emerged. Major cities were taken, and the complete annihilation of the 49th Infantry Regiment of the First Division was reported. This shocking news quickly reached Tokyo.
First, this caused panic among the elite, and then, inevitably, the news leaked to the public, causing waves of shock and chaos.
But it didn't stop there, every hour, more news came in.
The Yokosuka Naval Base was taken!
The Tenth Division, annihilated!
In short, amidst countless news, Tokyo was in chaos!
At the same time, in the main streets of the different cities, figures dressed in black ran at high speed towards the different government institutions of Japan.
These people were members of Cipher Pol.
Their current targets were Parliament, the Ministry buildings, the Police Headquarters, and the Imperial Palace!
...
Cipher Pol's assassination operation quickly eliminated the Congressional Senate, the Army Department, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police and other departments, and secretly controlled the Imperial Palace and the imperial family.
It could be said that Japan is now leaderless, with its core completely dismantled.
At the same time, an army of ten thousand soldiers personally led by Sengoku advanced without stopping along the cities and towns along the way and reached the suburbs of Tokyo.
At that time, Tokyo was in chaos.
From time to time, sporadic gunshots would be heard from a distance, followed by a fleeting scream.
“Grant, Biederman, Ivan, Meg, each of you will lead two thousand five hundred soldiers to take control of the north, south, east and west areas, according to the map. Clear the area of looters and murderers, and if you find anyone armed who attacks you, regardless of gender or age, eliminate them.”
Sengoku gave orders to his subordinates in a stern tone.
“Yes, sir!”
The four army officers responded in unison and set off with their respective troops.
Shortly afterwards, groups of soldiers flooded the streets and alleys, watched by citizens hiding inside their houses who looked out of the windows with fear and curiosity.
...
In the Aokigahara forest.
At the Dimensional Gate camp, the soldiers who remained there, under the direction of the construction staff, were cutting down the huge trees.
The world government was planning to build a large base with all the necessary facilities, and for that they needed a large cleared land.
"Lieutenant General."
Hearing the voice, Crocodile, who was scanning the map in the headquarters, turned around and looked at Biba.
"What news do you bring this time?"
"It's from Fleet Admiral Sengoku. He says Tokyo is already under control."
"However, he mentioned that there are many embassies of other countries in the city. He asks us how to proceed."
"Hmm?" Crocodile raised an eyebrow and then smiled. "It seems that Marshal Raymond has not yet revealed the overall strategy to the navy."
"Alright, tell Sengoku to inform the ambassadors of those countries about our declaration of war, and then arrest them. These individuals will be useful to us later."
"Understood."
Biba was also shocked to learn that the World Government was planning to declare war on the entire world. Just as he was about to leave, Crocodile's voice rang out again.
"Furthermore, notify all forces above lieutenant general rank that, once the mission in Japan is completed, they may proceed to the previously selected countries to suppress them."
"Remind them again that they must contact the headquarters once every five days."
"Yes!"
Biba quickly retreated.
Crocodile looked at the Demon Slayer world map, a cold smile on his face.
"Once we're done with this world, perhaps I can be promoted to General candidate. Bullet, it's still unclear who among us will be the next General of the Army."
As for becoming Army Marshal, ever since he learned that Sakazuki had been transferred to the Army by order of the higher-ups, he understood that such a position was not within his reach.
...
Starfish World, Drum Kingdom.
[Knock, knock, knock]
In the dean's office, located on the top floor of the Faculty of Medicine, a knock was heard at the door. Kamado Tanjiro entered with his sister Nezuko.
"Ms. Tamayo?"
Tanjiro showed surprise when he saw Tamayo sitting on the sofa.
"Huh?"
At this time, Tanjiro's nose moved, and he looked at Tamayo with surprise.
"Hey! That's enough! Put away your dirty eyes!" Yushiro could no longer contain himself and shouted at Tanjiro.
"Oh no! That's not it!"
Tanjiro waved his hands and explained: "I just found that Miss Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro's smell has changed. That faint demon smell is completely gone!"
Tamayo smiled and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Tanjiro's nose. Yes, Yushiro and I are no longer demons."
"What?" Tanjiro was shocked, but immediately pulled his sister's hand in surprise and shouted: "So can Nezuko also turn back into a human?"
"Stop making so much noise, you little devil from other world!"
Kureha threw her pen at Tanjiro's head in irritation. "Sit down and talk quietly!"
"Ah, yes, yes, I'm very sorry, Dean!"
Tanjiro covered his aching head without getting angry. He took Nezuko to sit across from the desk with a nervous expression on his face.
"In short, Tamayo's medicine can turn demons back into humans. So now, they must make a decision."
"There's no need to think," Tanjiro replied anxiously. "Please turn Nezuko into a human immediately!"
[Bang!]
Kureha slammed the table hard, warning. "If you dare to interrupt me again, I will throw you out of the window behind me!"
"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please continue."
"I have received opinions from the Biochemical Research Institute. They hope that Nezuko can maintain her demon physique."
"You also know that Nezuko is the only demon who is naturally not controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji's bloodline and is not affected by sunlight. She can function normally without drinking human blood, and her blood demon art also has the effect of purifying supernatural powers. Its value is very high."
"This value will make her valued by the Biochemical Research Institute and even the entire World Government, but they also said that they will do their best to help her regain normal consciousness."
After listening to Kureha, Tanjiro looked into Nezuko's eyes in silence for a moment, then turned to the dean.
"Dean, if I reject this opinion, will you let Nezuko turn back into a human?"
A smile spread across Kureha's face. She was starting to like this brat.
"Of course, the Biochemical Research Institute has no control over my medical school. Their opinions are just opinions. If you have decided, you can follow Dr. Tamayo to treat your sister now."
...
The Biochemical Research Institute on the 5.5th floor of Impel Down received a reply from the medical school, and this reply made Dr. Fritz frown.
"Does this Dean Kureha understand the value of Nezuko?"
"Luckily, we still have two tubes of blood that Cipher Pol got for us, but we must use them sparingly since we don't have any more..."
At that moment, Caesar entered the office.
"Shurororo~~"
"Teacher, that Muzan asked us to give him some freedom. As long as he can move around in Impel Down, he is willing to obey all our orders."
