Chapter 1029: World Restricted Zone Risk Level!
Inside Lou Lan City.
In a room specially cleared out to serve as a meeting room.
Minister Molotov of the Foreign Affairs Department was standing in front of a blackboard with a World Map of the Sea Star hanging on it, personally explaining the Tailed Beasts' next destinations.
Meanwhile, Nine-Tails, Eight-Tails, and the others had shrunk their size to less than half a meter tall, sitting in a row on the meeting table, listening attentively to every word Minister Molotov said.
They looked just like nine well-behaved and adorable pets, completely lacking their usual fierce, savage, wild, or crazy demeanor.
"As I just introduced, the Sea Star is a much larger planet than the Ninja World, so the territories allocated to you will be very far apart. Whether you meet again will depend on luck and fate."
Minister Molotov faced the Tailed Beasts' gazes with a smile.
"That's fine, we didn't see each other much over the years anyway," Kurama curled his lip dismissively, gently wagging the tail behind him.
"But I actually want to see you guys often. Before, I couldn't help myself, but now that I can move around freely, why shouldn't we keep in touch, especially in a strange world?" Eight-Tails Gyuki, sitting beside him, retorted in a rough voice.
"Everyone shouldn't have forgotten, right? Back when a few of us were just born, we played together every day. We are friends!"
These words caused all the Tailed Beasts, including Kurama and Shukaku, to fall into silence and recollection.
Yes, they were about to move to another world to live. There was really no need to bring the grudges from the Ninja World with them.
"Ahem, actually, to contact each other, you just need to use a Den Den Mushi," Minister Molotov spoke up to remind them.
Clearly, the Tailed Beasts hadn't broken free from their inherent thinking from the Ninja World.
But this wasn't a problem; they would slowly adapt naturally over time.
"Then let's start with Lord Shukaku."
Minister Molotov, dressed in a suit and wearing a bright red tie, pointed his pen at a bright yellow island on the map.
Judging by the overall scale, this island should be quite large.
"Given that you prefer to live in a desert environment, we have decided to set your territory within the Alabasta Kingdom in the First Half of the Grand Line. The specific location is about one hundred kilometers west of Rainbase City, covering an area of fifty square kilometers."
Minister Molotov drew a moderately sized circle on the map of Alabasta with his pen.
"This zone will be designated as a medium-risk area according to the 'World Restricted Zone Risk Level System' recently issued by the Judiciary, prohibiting civilians from approaching or entering."
"From now on, aside from official personnel, if any unrelated personnel trespass, you have the right to kill them and will not bear any responsibilities. This also applies to the others; please remember it well."
"Furthermore, if any of you pose a threat to other cities, or even attack them, you will be arrested by the Ministry of Police Affairs, or even the military. At that time, you are very likely to be imprisoned in Impel Down and lose your freedom again, so everyone must obey the law!"
Shukaku and the other Tailed Beasts nodded repeatedly. They felt this rule was acceptable.
They weren't completely without rationality like wild beasts anyway, and wouldn't attack cities without reason.
"Then, if we are attacked outside our territory, can we fight back?"
At this moment, Four-Tails Son Goku, with his arms crossed over his chest, asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, unless the opponent is official personnel. Otherwise, for combat outside the city or island, as long as it doesn't threaten the safety of the city and civilians, the police will not intervene."
"However, since you are Tailed Beasts, valuable resources of the World Government, if someone kills you, meaning causing you to temporarily scatter into heaven and earth, then that person will be wanted and pursued by the police."
Son Goku, Shukaku, and the other Tailed Beasts could understand the meaning behind Minister Molotov's words.
In other words, from now on in the Sea Star, if someone beats them up, the World Government won't interfere.
But if someone kills them, even if it's a temporary 'death', the World Government will severely punish them without leniency.
They were satisfied with this point. It provided a form of protection.
It also made the Tailed Beasts, who already had some favor towards the World Government, even more grateful.
At the same time, their lingering attachment to the Ninja World faded away, replaced by more anticipation for the Sea Star and the future.
"Also, Lord Shukaku, I need to specifically remind you that in the Sandora River in Alabasta, there is a Water Rhyme Dragon from the Zero Magic World, with the epithet 'Sea Mother', and her familials."
"This 'Sea Mother' has also lived for nearly a thousand years and possesses extremely powerful Water Magic. However, after interacting with her, we found her temperament to be very gentle, so you just need to avoid provoking her."
Minister Molotov explained the situation in detail.
This 'Sea Mother' originally lived deep within the 'Holy Lake' in the Former Elf Kingdom in the Sahara Desert of the Zero Magic World.
Later, due to the 'Wind Stone Disaster', the entire Halkeginia Continent disintegrated.
Although the 'Holy Land' remained relatively stable.
With Shiki's Air Fleet and hundreds of thousands of Auxiliary Legion stationed there.
The entire environment also became complicated.
Ultimately, it was because he was too idle and started fishing by the 'Holy Lake' that Shiki suddenly sensed her existence.
He used the Float-Float Fruit ability to forcibly lift the 'Sea Mother' from the bottom of the lake, along with a large amount of lake water, making her float in mid-air.
Naturally, there was strong resistance during the process.
However, although the 'Sea Mother's' Water Magic was not weak, she was no match for Shiki at all. She even had to pay with the lives of over a dozen Rhyme Dragons.
This forced the 'Sea Mother' to bow in submission, solely to save the lives of her other familials.
The final result was naturally to sign a contract with the World Government and then be arranged to the Sandora River in Alabasta.
Although the 'Sea Mother' could also live in the sea, she stated that she preferred a freshwater environment.
Coincidentally, the Sandora River in Alabasta has a width of fifty kilometers and a total length of nearly six hundred kilometers, which is enough to accommodate her and her numerous Rhyme Dragon familials.
Oh right, Rhyme Dragons are a type of Blue Dragon from the Zero Magic World, extremely skilled in Water Magic.
A small portion of Rhyme Dragons with higher aptitude.
Not only can they speak human language, but they also possess the ability to transform into human form.
So generally speaking, these dragons that can transform are called Rhyme Dragons, while other dragons are called Blue Dragons by mages.
"Sea Mother Rhyme Dragon... I understand!"
Shukaku nodded.
However, the smile on his face clearly showed that he didn't intend to truly ignore the other party.
Hmm, when the time comes, he definitely has to pay a visit and get acquainted.
And while he's at it, see what magic is like.
After all, everyone lives in the same place, how could they truly not interact?
He just didn't know when he would see Admiral Crocodile again.
How were his injuries?
Shukaku stopped paying attention to Minister Molotov's subsequent speech.
His chubby round face gradually drifted off...
