Chapter 1023: President Doflamingo!
Noah's Ark.
This giant ship, pushed up from the ten thousand meter seabed by Garp, now floated quietly in a green space, like a slumbering savage giant beast.
And below it.
Ancient Loulan City was becoming increasingly lively as the troops of the First Main Combat Legion and many high-level experts from the Ninja Alliance Army successively returned from the Land of Swamps.
The towering spires and the sky bridges connecting them gave the place its usual Gothic architectural style.
However, due to the surrounding environment changing from desert to moist soil, it lacked the sandstorm-woven veils of the past.
The hazy air became clear and bright, and the dim sky remained azure.
This change surprised the residents of Rōran but also pleased them greatly.
As for the colossus overhead.
Whether they were Army Officers in the city or Village Kage and Elite Jonin from the Ninja Villages, they seemed completely unaware of its existence.
This scene, viewed from a third-person viewpoint, appeared quite peculiar and extraordinary.
At the same time.
A white figure instantly appeared above Noah's Ark.
It was Im, who had returned from the Moon.
However, he did not immediately return to his palace but thoughtfully observed Noah's Ark.
The incredibly large ship was much livelier now compared to before.
The biggest reason was the presence of many flying dragons.
Their figures were visible everywhere, playing with each other and flying freely in the vast space.
As long as they didn't kill each other, no one bothered them. There were even specialized team personnel responsible for feeding, cleaning, and other management tasks.
Among them, the most numerous were the Thousand Year Dragons from the World (with emerald wings and gentle temperaments), the Fire Dragons from the Imperial Arms World (with crimson scales and fiery tempers, considered Level 1 Danger Beasts once mature and bred as important combat power for the Imperial Air Force), and the small Wind and Fire Dragons from the Zero Magic World.
There was also Esdeath's former mount, the Wyvern Flying Dragon, rated as a Special-Grade Danger Beast, and an Azure Fire Dragon, said to be a subspecies of the Fire Dragon, entirely blue, and also a Special-Grade Danger Beast.
This Azure Fire Dragon had recently become a favorite of Esdeath.
This led to the Wyvern Flying Dragon, feeling jealous when she was away, often causing trouble for the Azure Fire Dragon.
As for the Mud Fish Dragon caught earlier.
Because Im didn't want a swampy mud area on the Ark, he had Nichika Ubuyashiki, who possessed the Book-Book Fruit, seal it inside a book called the 'Compendium of Monsters from Ten Thousand Worlds'.
Besides that.
Her book also contained many different types of Danger Beasts.
For example, the Special-Grade Danger Beast Ape Man Gorilla, the Level 1 Danger Beast Earth Dragon, the Level 2 Danger Beasts Earth Tiger, Flame Rabbit, Speed Dragon, and so on.
Basically, there was at least one of every common or uncommon Danger Beast from the Imperial Arms World.
There were also Kabane from the Kabaneri World, including 'Gitai'-type Kabane with certain learning and thinking abilities, who mastered certain combat techniques, as well as the even stronger 'Nue'-form Blue Heart Kabane, and the 'Black Smoke' formed by countless Kabane gathering.
Naturally, there were also 'Man-Eating Demons' from the Demon Slayer World, Pure Titans and Worms from the Titan World, Unicorns, Griffons, Trolls, Goblins, and many other monsters from the Zero Magic World.
Even Giant Beasts, Sea Beasts, Sea Kings, White Sea Fish, Kung Fu Dugongs, Imitation Baboons, and Dinosaurs from the World were captured and sealed inside.
It could be said that Nichika Ubuyashiki, despite her young age, already had the ability to become a Summoner with just this one book.
And Im now felt there were too many dragons before his eyes.
Although Noah's Ark was currently large enough to accommodate them, their numbers couldn't continue to increase like this.
It would be better to have Nichika Ubuyashiki collect most of the dragons, leaving a maximum of two of each dragon species, preferably one male and one female.
The next second.
Im teleported again.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his Harem, summoned Stussy and Nichika Ubuyashiki, and told them the decision in his heart.
"Lord Imu, this decision is excellent. I wanted to mention this matter before, as the Ark has indeed become quite chaotic because of these dragon species. However, Empress Historia and Empress Esdeath like them very much, so I haven't said anything," Stussy said with a happy chuckle.
In her heart, Noah's Ark was Lord Imu's Imperial Ship and should not have any chaos.
However, these dragons were brought aboard under Lord Imu's order.
So, she could only helplessly accept it. Now that Lord Imu had finally noticed the problem, she was naturally very happy.
"Okay, let them each pick two they like. In any case, we'll leave a maximum of two of the same species," Im didn't mind Stussy's little thoughts.
At this time, Nichika Ubuyashiki had already left to execute his order.
"Lord Imu, I have a few matters that need reporting. Do you think now is suitable?" Stussy said, looking at Im sitting on the sofa.
"Yes, speak," Im had no objection. Since she brought it up, it must be a necessary matter.
"Alright. First, Saint Lord Doflamingo has followed your Imperial Will and left the Ark alone two hours ago to return to the World."
Im nodded after hearing this.
Doflamingo had successfully defeated the combined forces of the Fire Giant Surtr, the Frost Giant Utgard, and the Thunder Giant Dorry last week.
Well... strictly speaking, it might not be considered a defeat; it should be said they were matched in strength, and he ultimately gained a certain advantage.
This performance already represented that Doflamingo's strength had reached the standard of the so-called Admiral Level Combat Power.
Probably similar to the current Crocodile?
This strength was sufficient to execute the mission Im had given him.
Naturally, he was allowed to leave Noah's Ark.
And Doflamingo's mission wasn't very complicated.
It was to form an organization to manage the Top 100 Contestants from each competition, both past and future.
In other words, the Experts among the World's civilians.
Not only that, in Im's conception, this organization should also serve the purpose of accepting and issuing Employment Missions from the civilians.
Similar to an Adventurer Guild?
And in the future, similar organizations in Other Worlds would also be supervised by this organization of Doflamingo.
As for the organization's name.
Doflamingo seemed to want to call it the 'Top 100 Association'?
Im also had no objection. In his view, the name was not important; what was important was whether it could be effective.
In the future, there would undoubtedly be countless Experts among the civilians under the World Government in various Worlds. Most of these people were unwilling to accept too many restrictions from the authorities, so an organization whose legitimate nature was recognized by the authorities was needed, but whose main body was still civilian-run, with not many rules and a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
And Doflamingo, whether it was his identity, strength, financial power, personality, or means, was very suitable for being this President!
Im thought to himself, "In the future, the Hunter Association, Hero Association, Mercenary Guild, and the like, I'll leave them all to him. Don't disappoint Im."
"Also, regarding the Zero Magic World side..."
Just as Stussy continued speaking, Captain Est of the Kuja Guards walked in.
"Lord Imu, the Thunder Giant, Disaster Giant, Gate Giant, and Guardian Giant of the God Soldier Guard have returned. They are currently kneeling in the Void Hall, saying they want to beg for your forgiveness!"
"Hmm?"
Im raised an eyebrow in surprise, and Stussy also had a surprised look on her face.
Beg for forgiveness?
