Chapter 1058: The Third Shadow-level Title Ninja?
Hmm.
This was a bit sudden for Im.
But imagining Hong Lian and Nine-Tails together...
Not only didn't feel incongruous, but actually looked very harmonious.
But Nine-Tails is a Tailed Beast. Does he have the ability to reproduce?
Im wasn't worried about Nine-Tails; he was considering Hong Lian.
After all, Hong Lian had lived on Noah's Ark for so long.
This place could be considered her maternal home... *cough, cough*.
"Alright," Im said. "Tell Hong Lian that if she ever needs a Human-Human Fruit, she can call you."
Im agreed without much thought. After all, Noah's Ark wasn't short on one Divine Beast.
"Uh, okay," Stussy replied.
Stussy was momentarily confused why they needed to prepare a Human-Human Fruit for Hong Lian.
Hadn't she already eaten one? Still, she habitually nodded in agreement.
"Then I shall take my leave, Lord Im."
"Alright," Im replied.
Im didn't keep her.
Next, he would also enter his 'Celestial Dragon Realm' to continue construction.
The style had basically been decided now.
Indeed.
Some things etched deep within the soul cannot be erased, not even by eight hundred years of memory.
Im's reference for the 'Celestial Dragon Realm' was the magnificent and spectacular Heavenly Court Immortal Realm from myths, with carved beams and painted rafters, located above the clouds, resplendent with gold and jade.
So, the first step was to transform most of the ground into cloud masses.
This was easy; the World's Island Clouds would suffice.
He still vividly remembered the soft sensation underfoot.
Then, a small portion of the ground would be transformed into Sea Clouds to serve as lakes and rivers.
In the future, they could also be called Celestial Lake and Celestial River.
Im had even conceived the future composition of the residents in this 'Celestial Dragon Realm'.
First, the core residents would be Celestial Dragons who, after being reviewed by the Underworld Reincarnation Department Heavenly Dao Division after death, were determined to have made outstanding contributions or shown excellent abilities to the Celestial Dragon social stratum during their lives.
They could enter this 'Celestial Dragon Realm' to enjoy the most beautiful Eternal Life and continue to hone their talents or Strength here.
Secondly, outsiders under the World Government who showed extreme loyalty or provided great help to the Celestial Dragons during their lives could also come here to continue serving the Celestial Dragons of this Realm.
Furthermore, their living families would receive more protection and preferential treatment from the World Government.
In Im's idea, the future 'Celestial Dragon Realm' should be very large.
And it could serve as the 'Only Paradise' that all undead under the World Government yearned for.
For example, the upper layer would be the 'Celestial Dragon Realm', as just mentioned.
And the lower layer would be the 'Celestial Dragon Kingdom', absorbing the so-called good and loyal people under the World Government and having them place their faith in him.
Im didn't want religious influence to have too much impact on the World Government, even if it was a religion that believed in himself.
But he didn't mind creating a 'Celestial Dragon Kingdom' within the 'Celestial Dragon Realm' that fanatically believed in him. It was like walking on two legs.
Moreover, this 'Celestial Dragon Realm' was also his Palm World, which he could carry with him at any time.
Finally, since it was named 'Celestial Dragon', various dragon-kind were certainly indispensable.
However, Im suddenly didn't feel like putting those magical 'Western Dragon' types in there anymore.
Compared to them, he preferred to live among 'Eastern Dragon' like Shen He.
Hmm. Kaido was also acceptable, and Kirin like Esdeath could work too.
Not necessarily.
If some 'Western Dragon' or other supernatural creature was rare enough and beautiful enough, putting them in wouldn't be a problem.
For example, there was a Special-Grade Danger Beast in the Imperial Arms World called 'Zinogre'.
After seeing its portrait and related information, he thought it was particularly good-looking.
Before Doflamingo left, he specifically instructed him.
Once the 'Top 100 Association' was almost built,
He should dispatch his subordinates to the Imperial Arms World to search for one.
This could be considered the first mission specifically given to Doflamingo.
【Purururu, Purururu】
At this moment, the Golden Den Den Mushi on the coffee table suddenly rang.
Im's heart stirred, and the handset automatically floated to his mouth.
"Hello?"
"Reporting, Lord Im."
The call was from Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who oversaw the Supreme Military Command, the 'War Affairs Martial God'.
"The challenge match between Bullet and Garp has been scheduled for September 18th, on a deserted island in the first half of the Grand Line."
"Also, Madara Uchiha's opponent has been confirmed. The time is September 20th, and the location is a deserted island in the New World. At that time, it will be publicly broadcast to all worlds under the World Government."
Im nodded, having no opinion on these matters.
Conveniently, a few days after their battles, the Supreme Command Institute All-Forces Commendation and Award Ceremony would be held.
By then, the Admiral positions of the Army, Marines, and Air Force would be officially filled!
This significance was not small, representing that the World Government would openly possess nine highest combat powers!
"Who is Madara Uchiha's opponent?"
Im asked curiously, but when he heard the answer, his expression became strange.
"It's actually him?"
But Im immediately reacted, thinking, "That's right, it seems only he can take him on right now..."
It was just too bad that Newgate had refused.
He had imagined the scene of 'Whitebeard' battling the 'Dance King'.
He didn't expect that the former simply didn't think much of the latter.
Ah, Madara Uchiha still needed to put in effort. At the very least, he needed to make himself someone who could be taken seriously.
This challenge was an opportunity!
The call ended.
The Five-Circle Cross markings on the back of Im's right hand suddenly emitted white light.
The next second.
A light gate connecting to the 'Celestial Dragon Realm' appeared out of thin air in front of Im.
Perhaps it was a habit, but he increasingly preferred the form of a 'Space Gate'.
Soon, Im's figure disappeared into the pure white light gate...
Sea Ninja Village.
In the Sea Shadow Office, Tengen Uzui, wearing a black and white hat, looked at Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, whom he had called over, with a smiling face.
The latter two felt a bit helpless about the Sea Kage's gaze.
They could tell he liked them very much, but he showed it too obviously and intensely.
However, today's smile seemed even brighter than before?
"First of all, Lord Hokage, the Command Department has confirmed the Admiral candidate you will challenge, as well as the time and location, but..."
"But what?" Madara Uchiha asked.
"But they said this battle will be publicly broadcast to all worlds under the World Government."
Tengen Uzui looked at Madara Uchiha with some concern.
It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, he would lose face greatly.
"Hmph, so that's it. They want to use me to highlight the terror of the Admiral and thus deter other worlds, but that suits me perfectly! Madara Uchiha's name should also resound throughout the multiverse!"
Madara Uchiha lifted his chin, looking arrogant and disdainful of everything.
Hashirama Senju beside him smiled helplessly.
Madara was just that kind of person.
Even if he knew his opponent was strong, and even if his chances of winning weren't great, he would still be arrogant and confident.
He just didn't understand why he had been called over?
"Alright then, I wish you great success in combat!" After speaking, Tengen Uzui's gaze turned to Hashirama Senju and said with a smile, "Calling Lord Wood Kage here is because we hope you can test someone's strength for the village to see if they can become the third Shadow-level Title Ninja."
"What?!"
Even Madara Uchiha was moved by this, and Hashirama Senju was even more curious.
Were there ninja in the Ninja World who could rival the two of them?
"What's this person's name?"
"Hiruko!"
