Chapter 1243: Are There Demons on the Sea Star Mainland?
"Minister."
"Tian Zheng?"
Seeing the person who pushed the door open and entered, Dragon's face showed doubt.
"What matter requires you to come personally? Couldn't you have used a Den Den Mushi?"
The newcomer was a red-haired man wearing sunglasses, dressed in a black suit, with a dark green coat draped over his shoulders.
In the Ministry of Police Affairs.
Police officers below the rank of Police Superintendent could only wear dark green uniforms.
Those above Police Superintendent could wear a black trench coat over their uniforms.
As for his style of coat, which was the same as military officers', that was for Police Commissioners and above.
Police Commissioners were basically Bureau Chiefs or Division Chiefs, their rank corresponding to the military's Vice Admiral.
This Tian Zheng, nicknamed 'Black Horse', was the Bureau Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
He was considered one of the three giants under Minister Dragon.
The other two were Charlotte Katakuri, the Bureau Chief of the Military Police Bureau.
And Gaspardi, who had recently been promoted to Division Chief of the Public Security Department due to Bartholomew Kuma's departure.
It's worth mentioning that Charlotte Katakuri wasn't a Police Commissioner, but a Chief Police Commissioner, a higher rank with only one establishment, corresponding to the military's Admiral rank.
"My subordinates in Stornoway City at RL0040 caught three cultists. According to preliminary interrogation, they believe in the demon Satan and want to learn magic to summon a real demon on Sea Star."
Bureau Chief Tian Zheng sat down on a chair and described the situation.
"Demons..."
Dragon frowned tightly. If it were before, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But the World Government had previously genuinely encountered a great army of demons invading the Ninja World.
Relevant pictures and videos had already been sent by the Propaganda Department to the official channel and the World Economic Journal.
After all, the result was that the World Government defeated the demon army, so they definitely had to heavily promote it.
To let everyone know that even the legendary demons were no match for the World Government.
But this also confirmed the existence of demons, naturally boosting the confidence of these cult followers.
Moreover, there are indeed quite a few mages on Sea Star now.
For example, the hundreds of thousands of Elf race members in Alabasta from the Zero Magic World can more or less use some magic.
Not to mention the Rondel residents from the Falmart World, who are also migrating over in batches.
Therefore, the possibility of these cult followers learning magic in the future is very high.
This will inevitably create increasingly heavy pressure on the Ministry of Police Affairs.
"Have you found their headquarters?" Dragon asked.
Bureau Chief Tian Zheng replied, "That is also the purpose of my visit."
"I hope the Ministry of Police Affairs can introduce ninja from the Yamanaka Clan, Nara Clan, and Aburame Clan from the Ninja World."
"Their Ninjutsu abilities would be of great help to us."
Dragon nodded.
He knew the other party wanted to use the Yamanaka Clan's secret technique to search the captured cultists' memories.
Of course, the Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique and the Aburame Clan's Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique also have their respective uses.
"Alright, I will report this matter. I just don't know how many people can come, after all, transferring from the military to the police doesn't sound very appealing."
Dragon gave a self-deprecating smile.
As police officers, although they occasionally go to other worlds, they mostly stay on Sea Star for duty.
Naturally, there aren't as many opportunities to obtain merit.
Their only strong point seems to be being more stable?
"Ahem, besides that, we learned from the cultists that they seem to have actually succeeded in summoning before."
At this moment, Bureau Chief Tian Zheng said something astonishing, and surprise appeared in Dragon's eyes.
"You're not trying to say that demons appeared on Sea Star before the 'Stargate Era'? And that this evil cult also possesses true magic?"
"If the cultists are telling the truth, then it is indeed possible, and this demon might have been somewhere on this planet all along."
Bureau Chief Tian Zheng spread his hands, indicating that he had finished saying what he needed to say.
"It has now been confirmed that demons and magic are not just legends. I think this should be given importance."
"Indeed."
Dragon approved of this idea.
Otherwise, if a powerful demon suddenly appeared on Sea Star one day and caused unimaginable destruction and casualties.
That would be a dereliction of duty for them as police officers.
Soon, 'Black Horse' Bureau Chief Tian Zheng left the office in a hurry.
He had a lot of work on his hands and truly had no time to waste.
Dragon, on the other hand, picked up a Den Den Mushi to contact his direct superior, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the Five Elders.
"There are demons on Sea Star?"
Saint Saturn, located in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was startled, then thought to himself:
"Could Dragon have found out about them? No, that's not right. If that were the case, why would this kid tell me?"
And after he finished listening, although he felt relieved, curiosity also arose within him.
There's actually a real demon on the Sea Star mainland?
"Hmm, then investigate thoroughly. As for the ninja matter, This Old Man will communicate with Saint Nasujuro."
Ending the call, Saint Saturn thought for a moment and decided to ask Lord Imu.
Meanwhile, Dragon heard that a group of CP members were downstairs asking to see him, saying they had something to give him.
Although he felt doubt, he still agreed.
But when he saw the first person walk in, he immediately stood up in surprise.
"CP0?!"
The white mask, white hat, and full white suit worn by the other party were truly familiar.
There should have been a few more members in black behind this person, but they didn't follow him in. Instead, they stood guard outside the gate, scanning the corridors on both sides.
"Minister Dragon, I have been ordered by Lord Stussy to escort the secret treasure bestowed upon you by Lord Imu."
This unknown CP0 walked up to the office desk.
From his sleeve, he took out a white scroll tied with gold thread.
[Bang!]
When he untied the gold thread and pulled the scroll open forcefully, there was a muffled sound and a bit of white smoke.
Then, a square box landed on the tabletop, entering Dragon's view.
"Lord Imu?!"
Compared to the box, he was more surprised by this name.
Dragon didn't understand why this Supreme Being would suddenly send him something.
"Lord Stussy said this is an unconventional Imperial Arms personally manufactured by Lord Imu using the soul of 'Night Wind Goddess' La from the Falmart World as the main material. It is called a Divine Arms."
"It contains the divinity of this deity, which is helpful for comprehending the Rule of Wind within it."
"We hope you can diligently study it and not disappoint Lord Imu's expectations of you."
"My mission is complete. I shall take my leave." After speaking, this CP0 left decisively.
Only Dragon was left, staring blankly at the box on the tabletop.
He had heard and remembered everything that was just said.
But this unimaginable level of importance was truly difficult to understand.
Recalling the past, when he tried to defect from the Marines, he also strangely received a letter of comfort from the Five Elders.
He was also granted amnesty for quite serious crimes, and didn't even spend a single day in a prison cell.
At the time, he thought it was because of his father.
But now it seems that Lord Imu valued him personally?
He was already the Marshal-level Minister of the Ministry of Police Affairs.
The public order of the entire Sea Star was his responsibility.
He could even supervise and manage the police force of various nations in other worlds.
He could be said to hold a position of great power and authority.
Dragon gently opened the box lid and immediately saw the gauntlets inside emitting a soft green light.
He could feel the immense wind power contained within it, as well as a strange attraction pulling him towards it.
"The Rule of Wind, huh..."
Dragon murmured to himself, "I really owe a great favor."
Without further hesitation, he picked up the gauntlets and put them on, accepting Imu's bestowal.
"What I can do for you is to ensure the safety of Sea Star!"
"This is also for all the citizens of this world!"
"Minister."
"Tian Zheng?"
Seeing the person who pushed the door open and entered, Dragon's face showed doubt.
