Chapter 1095: Can We Refuse?
October 1st passed.
This means there are only three months left until the new year.
Neither the World Government nor Im planned to cause any major incidents during this period.
They intended to rest and recuperate, passing the time peacefully.
Moreover, there was still a lot of work to be done in the Ninja World.
It's worth mentioning... Akame certainly didn't disappoint.
Not long after returning to the Empire of the Imperial Arms World, she successfully became the Imperial Arms User of the 'World Book: Rongo Rongo'.
She has now gone to the Ninja World, cooperating with officials from the Mineral Resources Department to record a detailed map of the Ninja World Continent and simultaneously search for 'Regal Stone Ore Veins'.
As a result, in addition to her original Imperial Arms 'One-Cut Killer: Murasame', Akame has become a 'Dual Imperial Arms User'.
If it were her original self, it would be difficult to use two Imperial Arms simultaneously.
This is because it would place a huge burden on her spirit and body, with frequent use even carrying the risk of collapse.
But now, having already been injected with the 'Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum', developing her potential into physical prowess under Esdeath's guidance, coupled with the awakening and cultivation of Haki.
Whether it's her physical ability, spirit, or will, they are all sufficient to support her simultaneously wielding 'One-Cut Killer: Murasame' and 'World Book: Rongo Rongo'.
Akame is truly Akame.
No matter where she is or what her identity, her presence cannot be ignored.
Even within the World Government, she can still demonstrate her value and ability.
Red Line.
As more and more people migrated from the sea.
The cities upon it also grew in number.
According to statistics from relevant departments.
Including Saint Grace City and Saint Boon City, built for former slaves, Zou City for the Mink Tribe, and Flevance City from the 'White Town'.
There are now a total of two hundred and twenty-four civilian cities.
They are distributed on both sides of the 'Iron Fortress Railway System'.
Every day, large numbers of people travel back and forth between different cities aboard the 'Iron Fortress No. 1 Train' and 'Iron Fortress No. 2 Train'.
After investigation, over ninety percent of residents.
Believe that their current living environment is much more comfortable than before.
They no longer have to live in fear of natural and man-made disasters such as tsunami, typhoons, giant beasts, and pirate attacks.
Only the people from the Four Seas are still somewhat unaccustomed to the single season.
However, compared to the benefits, these are negligible.
This is because every city has a complete set of four facilities: hospital, police station, school, and government compound.
Ensuring the basic order and operation of society.
They don't even need to toil in the fields anymore; they can simply go to nearby supermarkets of various types to buy whatever they need.
As for their source of income.
Those willing to work can go to the government compound and choose a job they like based on their ability.
Those who don't want to work can still receive a monthly subsidy of one hundred thousand Berry.
If they have a child, they will receive an additional fifty thousand Berry for each child.
Although this money is not a lot, with eighty percent of medical resources being free, public schools from kindergarten to college having completely free tuition fees, and every adult receiving a free two-bedroom apartment, it is entirely sufficient to support a person's basic life.
As for why medical care is not entirely free.
This is because some supernatural resources are not yet abundant enough to be provided for free.
However, if they want to learn more skills, such as art, dance, music, martial arts, or acquire more books, better furniture, clothing, or even a larger house, they will need to spend more money to purchase them.
To be honest, for the majority of citizens who were originally impoverished and often bullied by nobility and thugs, this is no different from a paradise in a beautiful dream.
And under the World Government's propaganda, all of this is attributed to the appearance of the Star Gate, the conquest of the Otherworld, and the grace of the Celestial Dragons.
This has led more and more citizens enjoying this good life to adopt an attitude of support and anticipation towards the Otherworld War, and even gradually voices expressing gratitude towards the Celestial Dragons have emerged.
Of course, this is also greatly related to the World Government's recent series of propaganda offensives.
The Propaganda Department stated.
That the people who once brought them suffering were not the Celestial Dragons far away on the horizon, but the local royalty and nobility.
The Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Tribute was merely normal taxes.
However, those royalty and nobility further apportioned the money they were supposed to pay onto the citizens.
Causing them to have to pay two sets of taxes, or even three, ultimately leading them to be penniless and their families ruined.
This shifted the focus of most citizens away from the Celestial Dragons.
As for those who had personally interacted with Celestial Dragons, it can only be said that the number was too small.
Furthermore, there was no such thing as the Internet before, so it couldn't affect the overall public opinion direction.
Even if some overly angry extremist troublemakers emerged.
Naturally, the local police station would be responsible for handling them.
Zone RL0011, this is a winter zone, named Seymour City.
Therefore, looking out over this city, all one could see were falling snowflakes, the world covered in silver.
On the street, residents with rosy skin and smiles wore thick winter clothes.
They came and went on the street, with bursts of cheerful laughter occasionally ringing out.
Yet, within this harmonious city, there was a place where the loud shouts of young men constantly echoed, causing even nearby passing residents to glance over.
But no one found it strange, because this was originally a dojo.
Isshin Dojo!
It specifically taught basic swordsmanship to children under twelve, which is the Primary School Department's children.
Currently, every public primary school is training students' physical ability, while also teaching some basic swordsmanship, martial arts, and some breathing styles.
Basic swordsmanship goes without saying.
Moreover, the students use wooden swords that are not sharpened and have no point.
Breathing styles are primarily based on the five great basic styles: Water, Thunder, Flame, Stone, and Wind.
However, they start learning from the fifth year, which is around eleven or twelve years old.
Because if the age is too young and the body hasn't fully developed, misusing breathing styles can cause a certain amount of harm.
Also, combat techniques for mortals like martial arts are very suitable for children.
Such as Karate, Jujutsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, and the basic fist technique originating from Flower Country, Hasshoken, and Baji Quan.
However, perhaps because Sword Dao holds more weight in this world's culture, even children place more importance on swordsmanship.
Their parents are even willing to let them go directly to swordsmanship dojos to continue training after school.
At this moment, inside Isshin Dojo.
Rows of boys and girls wearing white training uniforms, under the watchful eyes of several instructors, paid no mind to the sweat streaming down their faces and necks, swinging the wooden swords in their hands forward repeatedly, creating whistling sounds as they cut through the air.
Meanwhile, in a room elsewhere.
Shimotsuki Koshiro, kneeling behind the table, looked solemnly at the Man in Black opposite him.
Ultimately, all complex thoughts turned into a long sigh.
"Ah, as expected, they still came looking."
"Does the World Government really have to exterminate us?"
"We have already given up the Shimotsuki Clan name, we just want a stable life..."
Unexpectedly, the Man in Black smiled with a gentle attitude and said, "Mr. Koshiro, it seems you've misunderstood."
"We are not here to arrest you, but to invite your family to return to Wano Island to reside."
"Especially the elderly Mr. Kozaburo, who forged the 'Great Grade 21 O Wado Ichimonji', the World Government hopes to invite him to join Famous Sword Town."
"Of course, you can also become a Master Yudao swordsmanship instructor."
Shimotsuki Koshiro was expressionless, shaking his head helplessly, "Can we refuse?"
"Of course not."
The Man in Black grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth:
"This is an order from the higher-ups. Please, you must cooperate."
