OPI Chapter 82: Preparations - Kaido officially enters Impel Down
🕑 Added 2023-12-19 17:23:32 +0000 UTCFish-man Island, Mermaid Beach.
Kuzan watched Garp get off the warship in surprise, and quickly approached to greet him. “Vice Admiral Garp, why are you here?”
"Bwahaha... I was just passing through. I thought I'd stop by and see how things are going around here with the construction of this branch."
"Anyway, the coating technology here is the best in the world. It won't take much time and won't delay things."
Garp raised his neck and laughed boldly, attracting the curious eyes of many mermaid ladies around him, because they had also watched the live broadcast before.
So I am particularly curious about this naval hero who can blow up such an exaggerated super tsunami with one punch.
“Come on, take me to see how the branch here is different from the ones above.”
Under the admiring gazes of the navy soldiers on both sides, Garp strode away with Kuzan, who was one step behind and leading the way from the side.
“By the way, is Kaido imprisoned on your ship? Can I see it?” Kuzan asked with a smile while putting his hands in his trouser pockets.
Garp agreed nonchalantly and said: "Sure, when I'm leaving, you can come with me to take a look. That boy's appearance is really interesting, he's over seven meters tall and has long bull-like horns on his head."
"Thank you, Vice Admiral Garp."
It didn't take long before the two of them, accompanied by a group of subordinates, arrived at the branch construction site. Most of it was already finished, showing outlines and a basic style.
“Hey, it’s really different from the branch above. The roofs are all made of big shells. It’s interesting. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of Marine Branch!” Garp exclaimed happily, taking out a bag of senbei from Justice's Cloak's large pocket and ate it. He also handed a piece to Kuzan, who didn't refuse and bit off a piece.
"Vice Admiral, I have just received an order to go to the Extreme Ice Continent in search of the treasure of the Chinjao Family of Kano Country, the Jewel Ice Sheet."
"Chinjao? Bwahaha..." Garp laughed loudly when he heard this familiar name.
"I've heard about this too. Ever since I punched him in the head, he can no longer take out the treasures under the ice, so he has to go there once a year to take a look!"
After saying that, he thought of something, turned to look at Kuzan, and said: "Be careful when you encounter him when you go there."
"Although that guy has lost half of his combat power after losing his pointed head, his Busoshoku Haki and Hasshoken martial art are still a threat to you."
"Ok." Kuzan obediently accepted the warning and said immediately: "However, I can't spare time now. The Levely is about to be held. I will definitely be responsible for escorting King Neptune and Princess Otohime."
"Indeed, those royal families located far away from the four seas should have already set off." Garp nodded. He didn't know how many Levely he had experienced. He was too familiar with it.
"So I can only go to the Extreme Ice Continent after Levely, but there is another problem. This place is too far from the Extreme Ice Continent."
"It will take several months to go back and forth. During this time, there will be no one protecting Fish-man Island." Kuzan looked worried.
"As you know, this area often receives pirates from the 'New World'. Although my marines can deal with ordinary pirates, if it is a tougher situation, they will not be able to do so."
"We need a Vice Admiral in command of the branch."
Garp immediately understood what the boy was implying, stuck a finger up his nose and looked at him with a mischievous look, mockingly saying: "Are you asking me to take care of this place for you?"
“Dahaha." Kuzan laughed as he nodded.
“You brat, okay, I have nothing to do anyway.”
Garp easily accepted Kuzan's proposal, and then said: "Okay, I've seen enough. I'm going to meet King Neptune first. You continue with your work."
"Ah, take care of yourself then." Kuzan bowed respectfully as he dismissed Garp.
…
Meanwhile, many Kings of the Four Seas who had seats on the Levely headed towards Reverse Mountain along with their royal escort, following the arrival of the Navy ships.
The kings in the first half and second half of the Grand Line were a little more relaxed and did not need to set off so many days in advance, but they could already feel that this year's Levely was unusual.
The movements of the world government this year are really eye-catching.
It has long aroused the worry, vigilance and expectation of many people. At this moment, all currents, whether overt or clandestine, were converging toward Mary Geoise.
Inside Castle Pangaea, the instigator of all this turmoil and chaos was reviewing the latest reminder of the system just discovered this morning.
Compared to the previous introduction, this explanation looks more like a complete version.
However, judging from the date displayed, it appeared on the second day after he activated the first Dimensional Gate. However, there was no notification on the star chart, making him read it only today.
This also reminds Imu that it is better to check the star map every day in the future. Otherwise, it is very easy to ignore new information.
"In addition to obtaining the authority to open a small Dimensional Gate to a random planet every year, every three years, one of the three small dimensional gates can be upgraded to a medium Dimensional Gate."
“In addition to obtaining a small Dimensional Gate as usual in the tenth year, you can also upgrade one of the three medium-sized Dimensional Gates to a large Dimensional Gate.”
“The medium-sized Dimensional Gate is 300 meters high and 200 meters wide, and the large Dimensional Gate is 30,000 meters high and 20,000 meters wide.”
Seeing this, Imu could tell. Isn't this a naked attempt to lure him into launching a large-scale interstellar invasion?
Previously, he felt that the small stargate, which was three meters high and two meters wide, was too small. It would take a long time for a large force to pass through it, and large vehicles, warships, etc. could not enter at all.
This medium-sized Dimensional Gate is completely different. Even giants can easily enter.
In addition, here is a detailed explanation of his specific control over the Dimensional Gate.
He can freely adjust the Dimensional Gate switch, freely adjust the Dimensional Gate position, and can freely observe the surroundings of the Dimensional Gate. The observation range depends on the star gate level.
Small Dimensional Gates have a radius of 100 meters, medium have a radius of 1,000 meters, and large have a radius of 10,000 meters.
He only needs to use mental commands to operate them. However, when adjusting the location of a Dimensional Gate, he can only adjust it from one side.
For example, he was in Starfish (One Piece World) and then he opened the dimensional door in front of him, but in the opposite world, the dimensional door appeared in the sea.
If he wants to move the Dimensional Gate to the Navy Headquarters, he only needs to keep its concept, location and specific images in mind, and can directly place the Dimensional Gate there.
However, the location of the world opposite the Dimensional Gate is still on the sea. If you want to move the Dimensional Gate to a place outside the observation range, you must personally go through the Dimensional Gate to the other world and then adjust the position of the Dimensional Gate in that world.
After checking the latest directions on the star map, Imu took the Den Den Mushi's handset and dialed some numbers on the rotating dial.
Soon, the Den Den Mushi imitated Ju Peter's appearance and spoke respectfully. “Imu-sama.”
Imu asked: "Has the first batch of Cipher Pol been selected to be sent into the Dimensional Gate?"
"It has been selected. I am going to send CP9 headed by Laskey. There are ten people. Two of them are responsible for guarding the Dimensional Gate. The remaining eight people are divided into four teams to explore in four directions."
“Since we don’t yet know whether the Den Den Mushi can be used normally in another world and whether it can be connected across Dimensional Gates, we still need to complete experiments in this area.”
“But these will have to wait until the construction of the biochemical safety station is completed, and then researchers wearing high-end chemical protective suits will first detect the air components in the other world.”
Ju Peter briefly explained the plan conceived by the experts under his leadership.
“Biological and chemical safety stations are indeed necessary.” Imu nodded silently, acknowledging his prudence and caution. No one knew if the air of that other world contained bacteria or particular gases, and Imu feared that the envoys would bring them back to the home world.
“Is there a definite time?”
"In terms of the Construction Department, according to the guidance of the Biochemical Research Institute, it has been determined that the biochemical safety station will take twenty days to build, which happened to be three days before this Levely." Ju Peter replied.
“It takes time to test the air and at the same time, a call test can also be done with the Den Den Mushi. If there is no big problem, send to CP9 on Levely day." Imu thinks that day is quite memorable, and he is now looking forward to what the world behind this first dimensional gate will be like.
"Yes." Ju Peter answered and waited for Imu to finish the call before putting away the Den Den Mushi.
“It seems confirmed.” Warcury said in a serious tone.
“Well, we are about to come into contact with another world, or even another civilization on another planet.” Ju Peter showed a smile and then looked at Nusjuro.
“The outside of the biochemical security station will definitely need to be guarded by the military. Although it is unlikely, no one knows whether creatures from that world will break in once the dimensional gate is opened again.”
Nusjuro understood that, so he responded:
""This is not a problem. There will be a prepared army, with automatic weapons and armored vehicles, such as tanks, in charge of guarding the RL1556 area. Additionally, area RL1556 is adjacent to the newly rebuilt Army Headquarters in area RL1555. If anything difficult happens, The large force can provide immediate support, and there is also Douglas Bullet."
Ju Peter said: "Just changing the uniforms is not enough. No matter how good the equipment is, it cannot be called a first-class army if the quality of the soldiers is insufficient."
Nusjuro nodded and said: "That's why Imu-sama transferred Bullet to the army, but it will definitely take some time to train the troops, so we can't rush it."
"Is it possible to consider sending some navy there, or directly transfer part of the navy to the army?" Saturn asked.
"If Imu-sama didn't mention the Navy's involvement, he must have his reasons. And the Navy has a lot of things to deal with, so let's leave them alone for now."
At the same time.
Just when countries around the world had just returned to calm after the public live broadcast of One Piece, and then faced the second hustle and bustle of the Levely, the large underwater prison, Impel Down, once again welcomed a big figure.
“Huh, this is my first time here. I don’t know how it is different from other prisons. I'm eager to see if he can keep me.”
Wearing special seastone handcuffs, Kaido stepped off the warship under the surveillance of Garp and a group of naval officers. He looked at the huge iron door in front of him and the forbidding internal environment rebelliously.
"Bwahaha... I have never heard or seen anyone leave here. If you can do it, you will be the first since the founding of the World Government. I will be happy to bring you back personally." Garp joked, laughing out loud.
"Come in quickly, there are some old acquaintances of yours inside, you can catch up and reminisce about old times."
Kaido glanced at the jailers who came out to greet them, the most conspicuous ones were Vice Warden Magellan and Gecko Moria. He blinked and asked: "Is there any wine in there?"
“How do I know if I’ve never been there? Just go in and ask.” Garp bit a piece of his senbei, waved to Magellan, and then turned and left.
"There is definitely no wine, but we will turn on the water pipe later and you can drink as much as you want. Think of it as a welcome gift to Impel Down that we have prepared for you." Magellan walked over and looked at him expressionlessly, then stepped aside to get out of the way, and said again: "I think you don't need to be pushed, Kaido."
“Worororo... The horns on your head are very similar to mine, but believe it or not, I will be able to come out of here in less than a year!” Kaido said loudly and confidently. After speaking, he puffed up his chest and strode towards the gate like a general after a victorious battle.
Magellan was noncommittal and had no interest in replying. Instead, Gecko Moria, who was still a young prison guard, sneered while holding the big scissors in his hand.
“Kishishishi… I really don’t believe it. Do you think you can do things I can't do?”
