OPI Chapter 143: Garp's Interference
🕑 Added 2024-04-19 17:00:56 +0000 UTCThe muscles in Edward Newgate's arm tensed, and instantly, a compressed white energy with vibrating force formed on the blade of the Murakumogiri.
At the same time.
Charlotte Linlin immediately took off her pink captain's hat, smiled widely, and shouted: "Napoleon!"
"Here, Mom!"
The next moment, the hat turned into a giant sword, with anthropomorphic eyes and mouth emerging from the blade.
"Prometheus!"
"I'm here, Mom!"
The anthropomorphic fireball directly attached itself to Napoleon without hesitation.
The world's strongest man and the world's strongest woman no longer had any verbal exchanges. They simply swung the swords flashing with lightning in their hands toward each other in the space filled with both of their Haoshoku Haki.
[Clang! Boom!]
An invisible impact erupted from the point of contact of the swords, pushing the air for hundreds of kilometers around. A massive wall of air was created that raised waves below, forming a circular tsunami tens of meters high that moved in all directions.
The most shocking thing was that the dark clouds opened wide.
"This, this is too terrible..." In the distance, a warship floated in mid-air. Gion struggled to steady himself in the strong wind and stared dumbfoundedly at the blue-white sky that gradually emerged among the dark clouds.
At this moment, Gion suddenly remembered something and looked at Mihawk in front of him with lingering fear. "That was very dangerous, luckily I listened to your advice, and we didn't get close to the battlefield, otherwise..."
"..." Mihawk remained silent.
At the same time, Whitebeard and Big Mom were participating in the Battle of the Century in the waters of Wano Country.
Thousands of miles away, on the top floor of Noah's Ark, Imu was also sitting in a chair squinting at the fierce battle scenes on the projection screen.
"Hmm... This is Whitebeard's strength at his peak? In fact, he is much stronger than during the Summit War."
The key is that the current Whitebeard is neither old nor injured, and his physical strength continues to be strong, but Big Mom is not weak either.
However, the penetrating effect of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit made Big Mom's superhuman durability and extremely tough skin less effective.
Imu watched Whitebeard's every move with interest, knowing that any penetrating attack would be devastating in this battle.
"Whitebeard is impressive, very impressive. I can't wait to see him take on the great powers of other worlds..."
"I'll have to consider how to recruit him..."
As Imu continued to watch the battle, he got a clearer idea of Whitebeard and Big Mom's true power.
If the fight continued like this, Big Mom surely wouldn't be able to hold out much longer, as she was clearly being countered by Whitebeard. But it was impossible for Whitebeard to defeat Big Mom in three days.
Now that the outcome was determined, Imu's thoughts shifted from the battle to other places, such as the arrangements for Charlotte Linlin.
There was no point in making her just a mediocre queen of an affiliated nation. That would be a waste of talent.
The only problem is his eating disorder, which needs to be addressed by the Medical School.
Imu also plans to ask Brook to deeply examine Linlin's soul...
He remembered an interesting speculation in his previous life.
After losing her memory in Wano Country, her compassionate, gentle, and motherly appearance is her true nature, while her cruelty, lack of compassion, and coldness are manifestations of Mother Carmel's soul.
If this is true, a compassionate Big Mom would be easier for the World Government to control than a cruel one.
Regarding the management of the World Government, Imu has always believed that only two things are needed. Ensure that he maintains maximum strength and knows how to use the right people.
The first part is obvious.
And the second is naturally based on the advantage of a Transmigrator's foresight to recognize the talent that has appeared in the One Piece Series, and assign them to roles according to their personality, aspirations and abilities, so that they are in the most suitable place.
As for being in charge of everything and directing personally, Imu doesn't think he has that ability.
Before transmigrating, he was not a political magnate, nor did he belong to the high military leadership. Even in economic terms, he didn't have much knowledge. At that level, he couldn't even run a small restaurant, let alone run the entire World Government.
One must have self-knowledge. Recklessly intervening in specific political matters would only result in trouble for oneself.
After seeing that the great battle has entered a stalemate phase, Imu felt bored. He got up and played a few games of tennis with Stussy. He then invited her to accompany him to the sparkling pool.
While chaos reigns outside, he enjoys peace and quiet, that's what he wants in his life, at least for now...
Two years have passed since he traveled to this world. The first year was spent familiarizing himself with the abilities of his new body, as well as assimilating the many years of memories.
The second year, in order to deal with the Great Pirate Era, he has held countless meetings with the World Government and the Five Elders to improve things, and finally things are in place.
During this time he has begun to feel that his body's original personality has stopped affecting him and he has begun to relax a little.
Half an hour later.
Imu was in a chair in the small garden, reading the reports sent by the Five Elders to keep up to date with the progress of the World Government.
The territory of Hinomoto in the world of Kabane has been cleaned up by the army led by Bullet.
The next step is to wait for the ships to be built at the shipyard to head to the other continents and see what is happening there.
"Yomogawa Ayame is applying for a Devil Fruit for her husband Kurusu?"
Imu frowned. Leaving aside what she would be willing to offer for such a rare treasure, the question is whether or not a person from another world can consume a Devil Fruit, that is unknown.
In Vegapunk's research on the devil fruit, he clearly pointed out that it is most likely a man-made item and tailored to the genes of the people of Starfish World.
"But we can do an experiment. But after the death of the ability user from another world, will the Devil Fruit return to the Starfish World?"
"Let's give him a Devil Fruit and see if foreigners can eat it..."
While Imu thought, he made notes on the document.
Then he picked up another document.
"Has the Dragon Police Department already built police stations in fifteen kingdoms on the first stretch of the Grand Line..."
"But due to the lack of high-level combat forces, the local police had difficulty containing pirates and other dangerous criminals, and Minister Dragon often had to intervene personally."
"When the Charlotte family members are ready, we could assign some to Dragon. This police team needs to be strengthened..."
Imu made some notes after thinking for a bit, then put down the document and continued reading.
"Is the Dimensional Gate Base about to be completed? That's good, the sooner it is ready, the sooner I will leave."
…
While King and Marco continued to face each other. Suddenly a black shadow descended from the dark clouds at an astonishing speed.
[Bang! Bang!]
In the next instant, both King and Marco were launched at an astonishing speed, while wild laughter rang out.
"Bwahaha!"
This all happened too quickly. Kaido quickly transformed into a blue dragon and flew away without saying a word. He quickly caught King who was about to fall into the sea.
Edward Newgate's face also changed drastically, but Charlotte Linlin in front of him would not give up easily. He could only watch Marco plunge into the surging seawater.
"Marco!!" Whitebeard's crew members were also alarmed.
"Dad, leave it to me!"
At this moment, Namur shouted and jumped into the deep sea and disappeared without a trace, but this made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon, everyone’s attention was focused on the figure who suddenly intervened in the battle and attacked without distinguishing between friend and foe.
"Bwahaha!"
"It seems that I am not late, very good, very good."
When they saw the person standing in the air, everyone in the place immediately recognized him.
"Garp!!" Edward Newgate gritted his teeth.
"What are you doing, you bastard? We are on the same team now!" Not far away, Kaido looked at Garp and roared, but Garp smiled insincerely. "Sorry, sorry, I'm old, so my eyes are a little blurry, so I tapped him~~"
"You..." Kaido was angry, but Garp had turned his head and ignored him, and looked at Edward Newgate. "Hey, I haven't seen you in a few months, Whitebeard!"
Edward Newgate was relieved when he saw Marco being carried onto the ship by Namur. But he looked coldly at Garp and said disdainfully: "I didn't expect you to come quite fast. Did you run all the way here?"
"No, no. I came by boat. Look, up there~" Garp pointed to the top of his head with a smile.
Everyone looked up and saw a Navy warship hidden among the dark clouds, which left everyone surprised.
But Edward Newgate narrowed his eyes and said in a somewhat surprised tone: "Even that bastard Shiki may have submitted!"
At this moment, his outlook on life was hit hard again. The cracks that had appeared before because of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido were now almost broken.
