Chapter 1217: Are You Willing to Believe in the World Government?
Just as Im was racking his brain over the 'Clone'.
Many people and events in the outside world were also developing in new directions as their fates changed.
Louise and Hiraga Saito were brought back to Impel Down and held in the same prison cell in 'Infinite Hell'.
This was the special treatment secured for them by God of the Void Brimir.
Then, using the merit of contributing the 'Magic Moon Igo', their sentence was reduced from 'Life Imprisonment' to a fixed-term of 'Ten Years'.
In fact, in Im's view, the value of the 'Magic Moon' to the World was enough for the two of them to be released immediately and gain freedom.
But Brimir was right.
It was indeed inappropriate to release Louise and Hiraga Saito, the two main culprits, immediately after they were sentenced and imprisoned. It would damage the World Government's dignity.
So, in the end, the fixed-term imprisonment of ten years was retained.
Additionally.
Sage Mimochaza and her two students, Dr. Shafali and Dr. Moermeng, along with Kirche who was held in 'Starvation Hell'.
Following the collective joining of the Rondel Magicians to the World Government.
At the request of Sage Magnus and President Joseph.
Their sentence was changed to House Arrest at the Mage Association for ten years.
During this period, they are not allowed to leave the Sky Island where the Hanlin Academy Council is located, not even half a step, and must wear Leg Cuffs at all times.
Because their identity is essentially still that of Prisoners.
At the same time, the relocation site for the nearly 100,000 Residents of Rondel has been determined.
Considering that the Mage Association Headquarters, which is the Magic Tower of the Hanlin Academy Council, is located on the Sky Island directly above Reverse Mountain.
The World Government placed the 'New Rondel City' in the RL1001 Zone next to Reverse Mountain.
The Construction Department has already dispatched an Engineering Team led by Marshall D. Teach.
The current Engineering Team includes many Alchemists, Ninjas, Devil Fruit Users skilled in the Earth Domain, as well as various Construction Machinery developed by the Mechanics Research Institute.
Therefore, as long as the corresponding Materials and blueprints are available, 'Rondel' can definitely be restored.
On the noisy construction site.
The tall and rugged Teach looked at the High-Definition Image and Construction blueprints spread out on the Cement table, full of confidence.
He then shouted loudly to the Workers around him: "Little ones, cheer up!"
"Tonight, This Old Man will pay for delicious Cherry Pie for you!"
"Oh!!!"
As soon as Teach finished speaking, the entire site erupted in cheers.
It seems everyone really likes Cherry Pie?
Because those who didn't like Cherry Pie had already been kicked out of his Engineering Team.
According to Teach:
The first Requirement to join this Team is that you must *very* much like eating Cherry Pie. Note, it's *very* much like!
So, Workers who didn't like or weren't that fond of Cherry Pie.
Could only choose the Engineering Teams of Senior Architects like Pica, Morley, Guyram, Elric, etc.
"Eh----"
Seeing that he had successfully motivated everyone with Cherry Pie.
Teach instead let out a Long Sigh, with a hint of loneliness and helplessness in his eyes.
Although he had accepted the Reality that he could only build houses in this life, he was still more or less depressed in his heart.
He just didn't Understand why the Military didn't want him?
His Strength wasn't bad either!
Even those Vice Admirals weren't necessarily his Opponents, not to mention he possessed three Devil Fruit Abilities!
Of course, Teach also admitted that his Abilities did seem more suitable for Construction.
But he had a Pirate Origin, Combat was his main Profession!
And these three useless Abilities were given by you guys!
To be honest, deep down, Teach suspected he had been tricked.
But he didn't Understand, why?
He couldn't figure it out.
Recently, Teach had been Conflicted about whether to just resign directly and go solo, looking for an opportunity to rise.
But smart as he was, he was very Clear.
In this era, only within the World Government could one access first-hand Otherworld Resources.
Moreover, he was already a Senior Architect, capable of leading an entire Official Engineering Team independently.
It could be said he had climbed to a Middle-Level Position.
With a few more years of Effort, it was entirely possible to become a High-Level Official.
Resigning now would be equivalent to all previous Merit going to waste.
So Teach was currently very Conflicted.
And what could he do if he left? Continue being a Pirate? Unless he was out of his mind.
There was no guarantee that 'Old Man' wouldn't personally come to catch him.
"Is This Old Man's life just going to be like this?"
"Even so, who can explain clearly to This Old Man, who exactly is targeting me, and why?"
Marshall D. Teach looked up at the Blue Sky and White Clouds above his head and Roared in his Heart.
A few minutes later, he tidied up his Mood.
He clapped his hands and began to manipulate countless Cement, Rebar, and Glass, putting them into the Construction on site.
"Wow, as expected of the Boss, this Efficiency is worth a thousand of us!"
"Boss is called 'Graybeard', comparable to that 'Whitebeard' in the Military!"
Listening to the praises from his Subordinates nearby, Teach pursed his lips, wanting to cry but unable to.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he let out an angry roar at them.
"Stop spouting nonsense! Get back to work!"
This loud roar instantly echoed throughout the entire construction site, it was Teach's last stubbornness.
Even if he was building houses, he would climb up step by step and become a famous Big Shot!
Just you wait!
At the same time.
RL1555, located over five hundred Zones away from RL1001, is the location of the Army Headquarters, Landeforce.
Douglas Bullet had just returned from the Canberra Continent in the Titan World.
He walked all the way to the Marshal's Office door, receiving salutes from Army Officers of various races along the way.
[Knock knock knock!]
"Come in."
As a voice came from inside, Bullet immediately pushed the door open.
Although his Body Size was unusually large, fortunately, everything here was built very tall and wide to accommodate Giant Tribe Officers.
"Marshal, you were looking for me?"
Bullet looked at Raimon sitting behind the Office Desk with Doubt.
He didn't Understand why something couldn't be said over the Den Den Mushi and required him to come back.
For a War Maniac like him.
He preferred the Atmosphere of being constantly in a State of War like on the Canberra Continent in the Titan World.
"Sit down first, this Matter is a bit special." Marshal Raimon pointed to the Sofa expressionlessly.
Bullet could only obey.
He had now shed his Pirate Aura and looked more like a Professional Soldier.
But Marshal Raimon's next sentence made Bullet frown.
"How much do you Understand about the Netherworld?"
"Netherworld?"
Bullet raised an eyebrow: "Are you referring to the legendary Underworld?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, I don't Understand much either, basically the same as most people, I just know about King Yama. What's wrong?"
Bullet felt increasingly strange.
"Cough cough, now listen patiently to This Old Man's words, regarding the World Government's progress in the Netherworld..."
Raimon's tone was low as he recounted everything he had just learned.
To be honest, he himself had spent a lot of Time before accepting and Understanding this astonishing Content.
Yellow Spring City, Yama Court, Underworld Army Headquarters?
Lord Imu drove away the mythical King Yama and had the World Government Take Over the world of the Undead?
In the quiet Office, Bullet listened dumbfounded.
At first, he suspected Raimon was joking with him.
But seeing him speak non-stop with a serious expression.
And since it involved Lord Imu, he gradually realized that this might be true.
As a 'Former Shichibukai Member', Bullet didn't believe Raimon would dare to joke about Lord Imu.
"So?"
By the time Raimon finally finished speaking, Bullet had more or less digested it.
In recent years, with the Otherworld Conquest, they had seen too many strange things, so their acceptance ability had become much stronger.
Now Bullet was confused about why he was specifically told this.
Marshal Raimon Understood his Idea and explained:
"Telling you this is, firstly, because as an Army General, you need to know, and secondly, to make you believe that the World Government now has the Ability to Control the Cycle of Life and Death."
"Understood, I believe you. And then?" Bullet nodded.
"Haven't you always wanted to become a Non-Ability User again? So now there's a Plan that can extract the Combine-Combine Fruit Ability from your body!"
Marshal Raimon circled around for so long and finally stated the purpose of this Conversation.
"What Method!"
Bullet suddenly stood up, his face full of Excitement, but saw Raimon say gravely:
"You have to die once, let the Devil Fruit automatically detach, and then Resurrect..."
"Huh?"
Bullet was stunned on the spot, and the Atmosphere in the room instantly Froze.
Marshal Raimon asked softly: "Are you willing to believe in the World Government?"
