OPI Chapter 160: The World Government Mobilizes
🕑 Added 2024-05-18 05:02:58 +0000 UTC"Cement, steel, glass... do you want to make me a house builder?" Teach laughed in frustration, clenching his fists under the table.
"Exactly. You will be assigned to the Construction Department, participating in the most important projects of the World Government, both current and future.” The leader dressed in black explained very seriously.
"With the abilities of these three Devil Fruits, coupled with being an official of the World Government, it is enough to ensure that you will have a stable and worry-free life and a prosperous life."
"There is also the facility construction of the upcoming Whitebeard Kingdom. You can also personally participate in it. Not only will you help Mr. Edward Newgate, I think he will be proud of you!"
"..." Teach was completely confused. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Ahem, um... can I think about it for a few days? Also, I've also read the Devil Fruit illustrated book, and I already have some Devil Fruits I'm interested in."
"Can you go back, ask, and help me find them?" Teach spoke quickly. He felt that this was actually an opportunity. Perhaps he could use the power of the World Government to find the Dark Fruit.
Once he has the Dark Fruit, who else in the world can stop him!
But the World Government staff showed an uncomfortable expression, dispelling his hopes.
“I am very sorry, that is not possible. According to what I know, the World Government is in urgent need of construction talents, and this is an order from above."
"Before coming, our minister told me to watch you so that you eat them and then take you to the Construction Department."
There was no way out. Teach was being watched by a dark and powerful force, with no possibility of rejection.
Or he ate the devil fruits and contributed to the World Government projects, guaranteeing a carefree life. Or he could choose to refuse, even resist, and end up beaten and imprisoned in the dreaded Impel Down, as material for biological experimentation.
“Okay… I get it…” Teach said, sighing heavily as he extended his hand towards the Devil Fruits.
An hour later.
Noah's Ark.
Imu received the news that Teach had consumed the Cement, Steel and Glass fruits. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha! From now on, there will be no more 'Blackbeard', only one 'Greybeard'.”
Demon Slayer World.
Gus and Horobi stood back to back, guarding the black container that enclosed Doma, and calmly scanned the flickering afterimages in the dark jungle.
Although nothing could be seen clearly with the naked eye, the Kenbunshoku Haki made the location and aura of those demons clearly visible.
There were many. At least a hundred. The most powerful presence was right in front of Gus.
Soon, a figure slowly emerged, walking with footsteps that resonated with overwhelming pressure.
It was Kokushibo, the Moon of Upper Rank One.
[Tap, tap, tap…]
Suddenly, nine figures appeared from all directions.
Akaza, the Moon of Upper Rank Three.
Hantengu, the Moon of Upper Rank Four.
Gyokko, the Moon of Upper Rank Five.
Daki, the Moon of Upper Rank Six.
The remaining five were Lower Ranks Moons.
Lower Rank One's moon, Enmu. Moon of Lower Rank Two, Rokuro. Moon of Lower Rank Three, Wakuraba. Lower Rank Four Moon, Mukago. Moon of Lower Rank Six, Kamanue.
“So these are the demons that don't fear sunlight?” Hantengu, prostrate on the ground, radiating an aura of cowardice and weakness, looked at Gus and Horobi and spoke with a trembling voice. “How wonderful…”
“But I don't perceive the scent of demon in them, they seem more human. Maybe the reason they don't fear sunlight has to do with that.” While speaking, Akaza watched Gus with narrowed eyes. 'What an overwhelming force, stronger than any Pilar he has faced before, even stronger than that monster...' He glanced at Kokushibo.
The mouth in Gyokko's left eye socket stuck out its tongue and said jokingly: "What a beautiful woman. I should think about what kind of vessel she would look best on that blonde head.”
At that moment, Gus crossed his arms over his chest and interrupted them. "Why are you missing one?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the place. The numerous low-ranking demons in the forest looked at Gus's calmness in surprise.
As for the Moon of Lower Rank Five, Rui, the demons already knew that he had been eliminated by the demon hunters, as the demons could transmit information between themselves.
“That loser who doesn't follow Lord Muzan's orders, and mixes with low-ranking demons playing family, has no right to be here.” Kokushibo responded with an impassive expression.
"Oh really? And what do you plan to do now?” Gus shrugged nonchalantly.
“Come with us to see Lord Muzan, or I will break your limbs and then take you to see Lord Muzan.” Kokushibo responded.
"Then show me what you're capable of!" Suddenly, Horobi screamed angrily. Her skin began to be covered in a black substance that spread across her torso, neck, arms, and face, while her eyes shone with an intense blue light. Her right arm transformed into a long, thick black blade. At the same time, a bluish energy sphere shot out from the palm of her left hand.
"First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace!"
Kokushibo's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the blade. The arc-shaped slash carried bright yellow crescents, cutting off the energy attack heading towards him and splitting it into two, causing it to explode into the darkness of the forest, obliterating the lesser demons there. Their torn bodies flew into the air.
[Boom!]
"Sure enough, you are not demons, but you are not human either. So, what are you?" Kokushibo asked coldly.
At that moment, Gus raised his hand to stop Horobi from continuing to attack. Hearing the question, he smiled and replied: “We are Kabaneri.”
“Okay, since you can cut an energy ball with one slash, it seems like you really have the ability to capture us. Then, let’s go see your Lord Muzan, we want to talk to him too.”
Hearing Gus, both Kokushibo and Muzan, who was observing everything through Kokushibo's eyes from Infinity Castle, frowned.
Kokushibo asked in a low voice: “Do you mean that the so-called Kabaneri are also a big group? Are there any stronger ones behind you?”
"Hehe." Gus smiled.
At the same time, his body began to emanate a large amount of black substance, quickly forming a black mask and fierce armor on the body, with bright blue light eyes staring at Kokushibo.
“We have a history of more than three hundred years. There are thousands of lower Kabaneri, hundreds of middle Kabaneri, and, like us, more than a dozen in the advanced Nue form. Furthermore, there are a few who are even stronger than those in Nue form.”
“So, how about we exchange experiences? “Devouring demons of Japan…”
...
In the command center of the Other Worlds Strategic Committee, a wall of screens formed by the projection of dozens of Den-Den Mushi conveyed the first-person perspective of Captain Gus and Horobi in the world of Demon Slayer.
They were seen surrounded by the 'Eleven Demon Moons' and numerous nether demons, advancing towards a Japanese-style sliding door that appeared out of nowhere.
"The prey has taken the bait, the hunter begins the chase!" Coulson said with a slight smile, as he gave orders in a calm and firm voice.
Behind him, Chairman Fernandez and the other three vice-chairmen watched all this silently.
The world government is finally starting to take action...
...
Demon Slayer World, Mount Fuji, Dimensional Gate Base.
A small eight-foot giant, dressed in a sand-colored full suit and a black cape of justice, walked out of the biochemical security station.
It was none other than Crocodile, the current Army Lieutenant General.
Behind him followed a man with long pink hair, also wearing a black cape of justice. This was Amatori Biba, currently an army staff officer with the rank of colonel.
"Kuahahahaha!" Crocodile let out his characteristic deep laugh while lighting a cigarette and observing the lush forest around him.
"A second world, and an animated one at that. This promises to be exciting, and without having to see that bastard Bullet!"
According to orders, in this world he was in charge of the army. Even if Bullet arrived, he would have to follow his orders, since his rank was the same.
"Ahem, Lieutenant General, the troops behind need to come in." Biba interrupted with resignation, causing Crocodile to stop laughing and move away from the entrance.
[Tap, tap, tap, tap...]
Soon, the sound of military boots marching in unison filled the camp. Soldiers were constantly emerging from the biochemical security station.
Each of them had their faces covered by night vision goggles. They wore black uniforms and high military boots.
They carried automatic rifles, grenades on their left hip, pistol holsters on the right, and on their chests they wore belts with ammunition. On his back, a sheathed samurai sword completed his equipment. They were truly armed to the teeth. But the most impressive thing was their number.
