OPI Chapter 69: Imu's new orders
🕑 Added 2023-12-02 18:13:04 +0000 UTCThe temperature in the History Storage Room was exceptionally low, almost like a cold room, and the light was poor, creating a feeling of darkness and horror.
Fortunately, Imu didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
These historical texts evoked thoughts about Joy Boy, so he was not in a hurry to leave. The tennis games these days had greatly alleviated his psychological depression, so he was in a happy mood.
If he were the 'Imu' before the transmigration, he would naturally feel that Joy Boy was dead and would no longer cause serious trouble to him and the World Government.
But he is different. He knows very well that Joy Boy is probably not dead.
Imu slowly walked towards another compartment, where extremely important historical relics were kept, such as the huge straw hat lying in this ice vault.
This was the straw hat that Joy Boy used to wear.
"You sent your will into the devil fruit, or rather, using the fruit's reincarnation mechanism to achieve an alternative form of immortality. You really left a big setback..."
Imu smiled happily as he recalled the past hundreds of years ago.
The devil fruit is consumed by someone and parasitizes the human body. After person die, it turns into information flow and return to nature, looking for suitable fruits to reappear. In this process, there must be a consciousness with a certain intelligence, as people like Vegapunk and others had already discovered in the One Piece Series, who took advantage of it.
Especially the Zoan-type Devil Fruit is the most obvious. There is something similar to the beast soul in the fruit itself, so Joy Boy, as the Nika fruit awakener, can completely replace or store his consciousness.
People in this world have souls, this is very clear. But presumably not everyone has the ability to store their souls in Devil Fruits.
Therefore, Imu thought of Haki.
As the strongest person in the world, he also has the deepest understanding of Haki. Haki can carry and receive information. This is one of the so-called effects of Voice of All Things.
Imu stood there for a long time, staring at the huge straw hat in the ice cellar, and fell into deep thinking, because these things were very important.
He was thinking about what to do with Shanks.
First of all, he must be a descendant of the Celestial Dragons, otherwise there would be no way he could sit on the sofa in the Room of Authority and hold talks with the Five Elders.
"This boy is probably like Doflamingo, an emissary under 'my' control."
"But this guy is quite good at acting. After all, he took the Nika fruit directly, because he felt that his identity as a Heavenly Dragon and his own strength were enough to deal with the revenge of the World Government."
"And he succeeded. Mihawk was sent over to have a big fight with him."
"And he was successful. Mihawk was sent to capture him, ended up fighting him and neither emerged victorious. Instead, they became friends out of mutual sympathy. A meeting that forges bonds, hehehe..."
Having said this, a sneer appeared on Imu's lips.
"The future Five Elders or 'I' see that Shanks has matured and continue to keep in touch with him as a Celestial Dragon, hoping to adjust the situation and balance of the world through him."
"But the problem is, what I want now is not to maintain balance. The so-called Pirate Emperor must be dealt with. If it can be used, it is used; If not, just delete them."
With that, Shanks was no longer as valuable to the World Government, he was simply an exiled descendant with the blood of a Celestial Dragon.
"This little Shanks must be brought back. Since he is a Celestial Dragon, of course he must return according to the detention order I issued."
As for killing him, it is impossible. The privileges and status of the Celestial Dragon must be maintained. The Celestial Dragon can only die at the end of his life and must not be killed by others, unless the person who does it is himself.
“I remember Shanks just turned fifteen this year and he's probably in the East Blue, that makes things easier. Oh, and by the way, let's have CP1 bring back that brat named Buggy too.”
Imu immediately thought of the powerful Buggy Balls in the future. In his opinion, Buggy should continue to study this area, and perhaps become a partner with Cutty Flam in the future.
Ten minutes later, through a Den Den Mushi, he contacted Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and gave him a series of orders. Since the instructions were quite extensive, Ju Peter simply nodded repeatedly on the other end of the line.
"By the way, from now on, Cipher Pol will cancel the rule that if you fail a mission, you will be sent to jail. If you fail a mission, you will be given certain penalties and demotions depending on the situation."
Imu felt that cases like Who's-Who needed to be avoided; who knows how many talents were lost because of this.
Besides, how much time and resources it takes to cultivate an excellent CP personnel, as long as there is no malicious betrayal, it should not be forced to death.
“Yes, yes, understood. Don’t worry, I will definitely change it.” Ju Peter didn't dare to ask anything, so he could only agree, although there were already many question marks in his heart.
After the call, Ju Peter hung up the Den Den Mushi and his face reflected amazement.
"Shanks, the former crew member of the Roger Pirates, is actually a descendant of the Celestial Dragons of the Figarland family and a survivor of the Valley of the Gods incident?"
“If that's so, we definitely need to 'invite' him back, otherwise, he will become another Doflamingo. But why also bring back Buggy and send him to be trained by the Science Unit Division...?"
…
Marineford, as the headquarters of the world's largest military organization, the Navy, naturally has no shortage of electric lighting, which also provides convenience for the island's nightlife.
Men and women, some in uniforms and others in civilian clothes, were heading towards one point in particular from all directions: the Seagull Bar.
It was the only bar on the island and also the largest, capable of accommodating thousands of people at a time. Here, both active duty members of the Navy and their families could enjoy a variety of drinks and foods.
At that moment, inside the spacious and bustling bar, resounding drum rhythms and melodies of all kinds of instruments, accompanied by an infectious female voice, spread through the air.
"Cheers!"
On the second floor, a group of people put three wooden tables together, picked up the slightly heavy beer glasses and clinked them together, then raised their heads and drank. The liquid in the glasses poured into the throat at an extremely fast speed.
[Bang, bang, bang...]
The beer glasses that had been drained in one gulp were placed heavily back on the table. A smiling Kuzan looked at Dragon sitting opposite and laughed loudly: "Congratulations, you have made a great contribution and have been promoted to Vice Admiral!"
"Congratulations!"
"Hahahaha, tell me how you defeated that Slaver King?!"
Dorag stood up and smiled as he glanced around at his friends.
"Master, thank you for coming. This cup goes especially for you."
In the end, Dragon's eyes rested on Zephyr, the most distinguished elder. He picked up the beer, filled his cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahahaha, good drinker!" Seeing this, Zephyr laughed happily, not to be outdone, he picked up the beer glass that Kuzan helped fill and drank it.
"Okay, let's finish with the beer. I want to try what the Fish-man Island liquor tastes like. Enjoy yourselves!"
Today, Kuzan and Zephyr were chatting in the office, and then they heard a call from Tsuru, telling Zephyr that he had another Vice Admiral among his students.
After hearing this, Kuzan excitedly organized the celebration and finally dragged Zephyr along with him, saying that he had never celebrated when he was promoted to Vice Admiral before, so this was the perfect opportunity.
"Now tell us about your trip to the South Blue. The description in the newspapers made me very excited. The Slaver King was powerful? I heard that you were injured." Kuzan continued.
By the way, the latest issue of the newspaper was sent to all parts of the world just this afternoon. Now everyone knows that Dragon defeated the 'Slaver King' and saved hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
"Well, I will start from when I received the mission order. The story is long, but I will try to be brief." Dragon said with no pride on his face. He maintained his composure, which made Zephyr, who was next to him, admire him even more.
Zephyr had had famous students, before there was Sakazuki, Borsalino and Kuzan, and now there was Dragon.
To be honest, the favorite among the four is Dragon, because he is the most serious about physical skills, followed by Sakazuki, and the person he dislikes the most is Borsalino.
As Dragon spoke, the music and singing on the first floor continued, but both Kuzan and his friends at the table and the sailors and their families around naturally fell silent. Even the sound of the beer mugs being placed was softer.
Even Zephyr, who had seen a lot, listened quietly.
As he listened to the description of the fight, Kuzan wondered if he could have handled it.
His ice fruit ability has not yet been awakened, and his physical skills and Haki are not as good as Dragon's. It was a bit of a tense and worrying situation, especially considering the Admiral Candidate title he had hanging over his head.
In addition, he will stay on Fish-Man Island for a long time in the future. That place is the 'gate' to the 'Paradise' and the 'New World', and he will definitely encounter the strong men of the 'New World' in the future.
'It seems that I need to hurry up and improve my strength after returning. Whether for myself or to protect the safety of Fish-Man Island, I must reach the combat power of an Admiral as soon as possible!' Kuzan's eyes gradually became firmer as Dragon's narrative unfolded.
