OPI Chapter 169: Fukurokuju's Guidance
🕑 Added 2024-06-01 16:13:52 +0000 UTCThe atmosphere among the nearly thousand people of the Demon Slayer Corps was especially tense and solemn at this moment.
This was not surprising.
Because they had seen with their own eyes the terrible scene of tens of thousands of black-clad soldiers entering their world.
It's definitely an invasion, and an invasion from another world!
In the time that followed, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps traversed the red earth continent and passed through areas of different seasons. Their astonished expressions did not dissipate until they reached the edge of the Red Line.
They soon discovered that they were at the edge of the land, with no railings or walls on the red edge, overlooking the floating clouds in the distance.
What was even more amazing was that outside the edge of the red earth, there were actually two huge, sailing blue warships docked.
But the question was how could they be there?
Outside the edge, wasn't there an empty sky?
"Wow!!!"
When the members of the Demon Slayer Corps followed the command and lined up to board the ship, they finally saw the scenes on both sides of the warship. The ship was actually floating in the air with nothing, which immediately caused exclamations one after another.
"You must be the head of the Ubuyashiki family and the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mr. Ubuyashiki Kagaya. I am Fukurokuju, the First Umikage of Umigakure under the World Government. We will escort you to Wano Country." Fukurokuju came over to greet them. Behind him were other members of the former Oniwabanshu. Everyone wore a black vest and an iron forehead protector engraved with a five-circle cross symbol.
"Fukurokuju really is a lucky name. I am Ubuyashiki Kagaya, nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine." Fukurokuju responded.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Fukurokuju led the leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps to the meeting room inside the ship.
Fukurokuju coughed lightly.
"Now I need to briefly explain the arrangements for everyone. First, the Ubuyashiki family will settle in the Flower Capital, where they have prepared a mansion. Others will also obtain suitable residences according to the number of people."
"The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps will be part of the Sword Hall, which is an organization that collects, organizes and innovates various sword styles. In addition to training and managing the various swordsmen. The current master of the Sword Hall is Saint Mihawk."
Upon hearing the title Saint, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps became serious.
Already when they were in the Demon Slayer World, they had learned all kinds of common sense about the Starfish World..
Naturally, they also knew what the concept of the Celestial Dragons was.
"Furthermore, Saint Mihawk is an extremely powerful swordsman. If you have the opportunity to receive his instruction, you will undoubtedly gain great benefits." Fukurokuju said with a slight smile, aware of these swordsmen's fervor to improve their skills.
"Of course, joining the Sword Hall does not mean that they cannot work in other departments. The Sword Hall only manages swordsmanship under the world government.
"According to the information I have, most of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps will be assigned to the Police Department. And they will be responsible for maintaining public order in various kingdoms and islands."
"After completing your affairs in Wano Country, you should head to the Sabaody Archipelago."
After hearing this, the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps looked at each other. Of course, they knew about the police.
"I said most, because if any of you don't want to be a police officer and prefer to participate in wars with other worlds, you can also apply to join the army through the Sword Hall."
As soon as Fukurokuju finished speaking, Sanemi Shinazugawa asked: "Can you get better training in the army?"
"I'm not sure about that, but since it's the army, the requirements for combat power must be higher than the police, and it should have more advantages in improving strength."
"Then I want to join the military!"
Fukurokuju smiled and nodded. "Of course." Then, he looked at Tengen Uzui, and smiled. "You, being a shinobi, will join Umigakure."
"No problem." Uzui had thought of it a long time ago, so naturally he had no objection.
However, what Uzui didn't know was that Fukurokuju was very excited about his arrival. The shinobi in Wano Country had no outstanding techniques. They only mastered some taijutsu, Kenjutsu, and shuriken throwing.
In terms of variety, Uzui can not only cultivate various ninja beasts with high IQs, but also make various ninja tools and poisons, and even have secret methods to make the body extremely resistant to poison.
All of this was a treasure to Umigakure.
At that moment, Tamayo asked: "Excuse me, are we also going to live in the Flower Capital?"
"Miss Tamayo, you and Miss Shinobu Kocho will be assigned to the Drum Kingdom Medical School, but the World Government will provide you with a house, even if you don't frequent it much." Fukurokuju responded.
"Then can you find us a more remote place? I don't like overly crowded places." Tamayo asked.
Fukurokuju nodded. "Sure, no problem. I'll have someone show you around the island to find a suitable place."
Fukurokuju then turned to Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Himejima Gyomei.
"Mr. Ubuyashiki and Mr. Himejima, when Miss Tamayo heads to the Drum Kingdom, you must also go for treatment."
"Sure, we will follow your instructions. Could I take my son, Kiriya? He has also been affected by the curse." Kagaya asked earnestly.
"Of course."
At that moment, Fukurokuju acted as if he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, the Biochemical Research Institute asked me to inform you in advance that they are very interested in your special physiques, so they will need to draw some blood from you later."
This made Kanroji Mitsuri and other people with special physiques look at each other uneasily, but no one said no.
Although Fukurokuju's tone was kind, it was not a request, but rather an instruction.
After finishing, Fukurokuju stood up. "You can rest in your rooms. We will meet for dinner and celebrate your arrival in Wano Country."
...
The arrival of the Demon Slayer Corps made Imu very happy, because it made the Starfish World livelier.
“These four sisters, who look almost identical, would be perfect as assistants.”
On a holographic screen suspended in the air, images of important characters of the Demon Slayer Corps appeared.
“Speaking of which, according to my agreement with the King of the Underworld, I should send some souls from the Demon Slayer world.”
"It's not clear about the Kabane world, but the Demon Slayer World does have an underworld with a reincarnation mechanism."
“But what is the curse of the Ubuyashiki family?”
Imu sat on the empty throne, frowning as he thought. The reason why he considered these things is that as long as there is a world with gods, it must be treated with caution.
“My Lord, here is the newly delivered Nichirin sword.”
Stussy entered the empty hall holding a silver tray, on which rested a katana with a black scabbard. Imu raised her head slightly, her eyes falling on the sword.
Stussy had barely reached the foot of the throne when the sword, under the control of an invisible force, flew rapidly towards Imu, leaving its sheath and hanging in the air.
Imu narrowed his eyes, sensing the faint golden aura on the Nichirin sword.
"Is this the energy of sunlight?"
If this Nichirin Sword could be brought to the Underworld, it would surely be very effective against demons, but unfortunately, right now he could only rely on the power of the Enma Sword to enter the Underworld.
Imu stood up and grabbed the hilt of the sword. A few seconds later, silver lightning patterns began to appear on the blade of the Nichirin sword.
“Isn't this my Busoshoku Haki?”
Imu looked at the patterns on the blade with interest. Next, Imu increased the strength with which he held the sword.
During this process, he could clearly feel the temperature of the blade rapidly increasing and changing color, becoming as if it were red hot, emitting intense heat.
This was the evolved form of the Nichirin sword, the Bright Red Nichirin Sword.
In Imu's perception, the golden aura on the blade was becoming more evident, indicating that the sun's energy was becoming more concentrated.
“I'm curious, what is your limit?”
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Imu continued to hold on to the hilt, as the Scarlet Sword began to emit even brighter red light and more intense heat.
A moment later, the hilt of the sword creaked under the pressure of his hand, as if it were moaning in pain. This made Imu stop increasing his strength. At this moment, the scarlet sword blade was enveloped in a golden and red aura.
"It seems that this is the most powerful form of the Nichirin sword." Imu murmured.
Imu decided to keep this Nichirin sword. A weapon with such powerful solar energy should always be at hand. In a future with so many different worlds, dark entities will surely exist.
"Stussy, give the order. I want a Nichirin sword with the maximum possible amount of Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore."
After speaking, he released the Nichirin sword, which returned to its original form and slid back into its sheath. Then he sent it back to Stussy's tray with a wave of his hand.
"Yes!" Stussy responded, bowing respectfully before hurriedly leaving the room to notify the World Government.
