Chapter 1190: You Can't Go Back!
Im's message caused the Five Elders, Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and the others to sigh in relief.
These military and political high command members of the World Government became nervous after receiving the report about the disappearance of the 'Gate of Ginza'.
No one cared about the troops from those auxiliary legions.
The thousand ninja led by Ay were somewhat regrettable, but not an unacceptable loss.
However, if people like Shiki, Kaido, Bullet, Newgate, Kuzan, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju, as well as Garp, who had mastered Colorless Haki, were gone, that would absolutely be an unimaginable loss for the World Government.
Now that Lord Imu had spoken, saying they would have their own 'Gate'! Everyone's hearts instantly settled.
Even though Imu hadn't done anything specific, somehow, from some point on, his very existence brought them an indescribable sense of safety.
Perhaps it was because of the miracle-like nature of the 'Star Gate'?
Or perhaps it was because Garp revealed that even he, having mastered Colorless Haki, couldn't withstand a single punch from Imu?
Of course, it could also be because of the immense changes Imu brought to the Celestial Dragons, the World Government, and the Sea Star Civilization after emerging from seclusion.
—World Dividing Line—
Falmart World.
Douglas Bullet, who had defeated the 'God of Hatred and Revenge', was the first to return to the Hill of Alnus by transforming into an 'F-15 Fighter Jet'.
Next were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. They returned riding on the great ice bird created by Kuzan.
Finally, there was Kaido, carried by Garp, and the prisoner who followed them all the way, the 'God of Flame and Forging', Dunken.
[Bang!]
Kaido, who had fallen into a coma, was casually tossed onto the open ground within the camp by Garp. The heavy thud attracted many gazes from the surroundings.
What happened to Admiral Kaido? Many soldiers of the auxiliary legion were surprised and uncertain. Could he have been defeated by those gods?
Then, Dunken, this Dwarf Race Chief God whose hair on his face was still burning, received a lot of attention. Although the soldiers didn't know who he was, they could guess he was a person from this world.
"Ara la~ Mr. Garp, who is this?"
At this moment, Kuzan walked over with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
Although Kaido looked very disheveled, covered in injuries and bloodstains, and lay on the ground unconscious, Madara Uchiha looked at him without the slightest contempt, but rather with even greater solemnity than before.
"His name is Dunken, the 'God of Flame and Forging' of this world, and also a dwarf. Now he's this old man's prisoner."
"This old man will plead with Lord Imu to allow him to join the World Government."
"And he said he's very skilled at forging weapons and armor, so he should be able to help."
Garp squatted down and patted Dunken's sturdy shoulder, laughing heartily.
The two had chatted a lot along the way and gained a better understanding of each other. Garp felt that Dunken was a good person. He was straightforward, generous, upright, and had his own principles, so Garp decided to protect him.
His words made Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju exchange glances. So Dunken was Garp's prisoner. This meant that Kaido, in a one-versus-three situation, defeated two of the chief gods and was finally saved by this Warrior God Garp.
Hmm, that record is quite exaggerated! At least they didn't think they could achieve the same result if they were in his place. Even one Admiral-level combat power is difficult enough...
But who is this Lord Imu that he mentioned, whom he would plead with for Dunken? The higher-ups of the World Government military don't seem to have that name. Could it be one of the Five Elders?
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha fell into contemplation, finally deciding to find an opportunity to ask the Sage of Six Paths.
"Speaking of which, where did that gate go?"
Garp also noticed at this moment that something was suddenly missing in the distance.
"The gate is gone. It was probably closed by the god of this world," Bullet replied coldly, his terrifying gaze fixed on Dunken.
"Since you're also a damn chief god, hurry up and open the gate for us!"
The killing intent in his heart surged uncontrollably at the thought that he might never be able to leave this world again, losing the chance to continue his expedition across the multiverse.
Bullet even thought about finding the chief gods of this world one by one, giving them a good beating, and then forcing them to open the gate for him! He didn't expect one of the chief gods to come right before his eyes.
"Dunken, do you have a method? This old man also wants to go back and see my little grandson as soon as possible."
Garp also became serious. A few days ago, Lord Imu sent someone to give Luffy a Devil Fruit called the Nika Fruit. He also sent a message saying it was his destined Devil Fruit.
At the time, he was unwilling. In his opinion, Devil Fruits would affect the cultivation of Colorless Haki. However, Lord Imu's order could not be refused.
He could only sigh and watch his little grandson eat a small bite, officially becoming a Devil Fruit user.
Then he discovered that Luffy's physique had become rubbery and was no longer susceptible to physical damage from blunt attacks. This was quite good; at least he no longer had to worry about him getting bumps and bruises.
It's just that Garp was truly dissatisfied with this Devil Fruit ability. Isn't this just a Gum-Gum Fruit? And they said it was a Mythical Zoan? If it hadn't been sent by Lord Imu, he would have suspected he was being tricked.
But since things had come to this, Garp could only accept reality. He thought Lord Imu's words were reliable...
Meanwhile, Dunken showed a troubled expression.
"I am very sorry, this 'gate' can only be controlled by Emroy, Freya, and Hanty, these three 'Innate Gods'. This old man and the other chief gods are 'Human-Ascended Gods'."
"Useless! What good are you?!" Bullet roared in anger, and a vast aura immediately surged from his body.
This made Dunken's heart tighten. He found that the opponent's aura was actually comparable to Kaido's. This was another 'Chief God-grade' giant!
"Kid, rein in your aura!" Garp glared at him, displeased.
Bullet's expression froze, and he could only grit his teeth and comply. He then turned his head, gave a cold snort, and said no more.
This made Dunken even more astonished. Although he had witnessed the power of Garp's punch, he was not very clear about Garp's status in the World Government. But now he probably understood. This 'Warrior God' should be a rank higher than an 'Admiral'.
"It seems I'll have to wait for Shiki and Newgate to finish their fight and bring those two gods over..." Garp muttered to himself while stroking his chin, and at the same time thought to himself, "Speaking of which, that Sage of Six Paths should have some method."
It's just that he couldn't find him for a while. He'd find a deserted place later and shout to see.
"Gyahahahaha~~~"
"This old man is back!"
Suddenly, a familiar wild laugh echoed from the air. Garp, Kuzan, and the others looked up and saw that it was indeed Shiki. However, he was carrying a somewhat familiar blonde woman in his hand.
"Freya!" Dunken suddenly exclaimed.
Had the 'God of the Sun and Light', one of the three Innate Gods, also been defeated? But why would Shiki bring her over? Garp felt doubt in his heart.
On the other side.
The Sage of Six Paths, who was invisible in the air, watched Shiki descend to the ground speechlessly. Of course, he had appeared immediately after the combat ended, demanding to receive Freya's soul.
But Shiki refused, saying he wanted to take her back to the camp, call Bud to beat her up, and then hand her over after the beating. However, it seemed Shiki had done the right thing now?
"The gate is gone?!" Shiki, who had returned to the camp, was also surprised upon learning the situation, and at the same time, his heart grew nervous. He absolutely did not want to be stranded in this world.
"Hey, stupid woman, hurry up and make the gate appear for this old man!" Shiki immediately lifted the disheveled Freya in his hand and roared.
"Hehehehe~"
Freya gave a cold snort: "Dream on. You are already part of this world!"
She wasn't afraid of being killed at all; in fact, she wished for it. Because even if these 'Innate Gods' died, they would be reborn in the air after a while. Hmm, it's somewhat similar to the Tailed Beasts in the Ninja World.
Compared to that, Freya was more afraid of being taken to other worlds. Because if she died in other worlds, she would truly be dead...
"Hahaha, no matter how strong you are, what can you do?"
"I am a god, I am immortal, but you will die sooner or later!"
"Congratulations everyone on becoming a part of the Falmart World!"
Covered in blood and with much of her skin exposed, Freya was full of smugness, her eyes filled with mockery and ridicule.
At the same time, Garp, Bullet, Shiki, and the others' faces turned iron-colored, and their mood began to become heavy.
Could they really not go back?
Just as the atmosphere on the scene fell into oppressive silence, everyone failed to notice that a kunai stuck in a certain corner suddenly emitted a faint white light. Or rather, a string of incantations written on it was glowing, and it was getting brighter and brighter...
Im's message caused the Five Elders, Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and the others to sigh in relief.
