Chapter 1285: Intelligence on Stargate World No. 0009!
As the saying goes, everything has its order.
Before Fujitora's resignation and the matter of the King's Punch.
Over at the Elbaf Kingdom, the duel between Harald and Surtr finally came to an end after three days and three nights.
The result was King Harald dying under Surtr's 'Flame Greatsword'.
This result was unexpected, but upon reflection, it was within reason.
King Harald's strength was certainly a bit stronger than Surtr's.
But as long as he still wanted his clansmen and family to continue living in the Sea Star, he couldn't defeat Surtr.
In the Empty Hall on Noah's Ark.
Im sat upon the empty throne, looking down at the 'Fire Giant' Surtr, who was kneeling on the red carpet with both hands raised, holding a black spear nearly thirty meters long, and the 'Frost Giant' Utgard, who was also kneeling beside him.
That spear, nearly thirty meters long, was precisely the symbol of Elbaf's King, the Elbaf Spear!
Now that there was no longer a King of the Giants, this Elbaf Spear no longer had a master.
So Surtr brought it here to offer to Lord Imu.
He hoped to make Imu happier with this, so Elbaf's situation would also improve significantly.
Im naturally understood Surtr's thoughts.
The next second.
A ball of pale blue radiance enveloped the Elbaf Spear in Surtr's hand, rapidly shrinking its volume to about three meters, then instantly appeared before Im.
Im glanced at it twice, then stored it within the Celestial Dragon Realm, considering it an addition to his collection.
It also represented his acceptance of Elbaf's offering, and the previous matters were completely put behind them.
From then on, the Sea Star would no longer have the Elbaf Kingdom, only the Elbaf Autonomous Region.
"Reporting to Lord Imu, I promised King Harald to take his eldest son Loki as my disciple. May I ask for permission?" Surtr quickly asked.
"Permission granted."
Im had no opinion on this.
Just an underage giant tribe child, not enough to be concerned about.
Having said that, Im instantly disappeared from the throne.
This also made Surtr and Utgard sigh in relief, while simultaneously showing looks of joy.
Lord Imu didn't make things difficult for Elbaf!
Descriptions like magnanimous, merciful, wise ruler, and many others constantly emerged in their hearts.
All of these transformed into feelings of gratitude.
Im returned to his study room, no longer concerned about Elbaf, and continued reviewing the situation in various places across the Sea Star.
Currently, within the East Blue, South Blue, West Blue, North Blue, and the entire Grand Line, there were over fifty kingdoms that chose to rebel against the World Government, and they were all great countries, rich nations, and strong nations with considerable force.
This was not strange, because the small countries and poor nations had long since moved their entire populations to the Red Line.
And these 'Non-Affiliated Nations' were still forming alliances with each other, attempting to contend with the World Government's Marines and Police with their vast military strength.
At the same time, they continuously proposed that as long as the World Government abandoned the idea of a unified regime.
They were willing to pretend none of this happened and continue supporting the World Government in conquering myriad worlds.
In other words, they didn't actually want this, they just felt the World Government was being too overbearing.
These demands, in Im's view, were a joke.
What qualification do a bunch of ants have to negotiate terms with me?
He did not issue new instructions to the Five Elders, which also meant his orders remained unchanged.
Suppress all rebellions before September!
Because September 15th was the day the Reverie would convene.
It's worth mentioning that Sakazuki, who was cultivating in Loulan, heard about this matter and applied to the Command Department to return to the Sea Star to eliminate these trash who dared to rebel.
However, the Command Department ultimately refused, telling him to focus on learning magic in Loulan.
Firstly, the Marines had Aokiji and Fujitora, and the Police also had many experts.
If needed, the Air Force could also intervene, so the Army's help wasn't required.
Secondly, everyone was aware of Sakazuki's personality. If he returned and took action, the casualties would definitely far exceed expectations.
"Issho is going to the Police?"
Just then, Im saw the report sent by Saint Nasujuro.
After reading it carefully, Im felt this truly matched Issho's personality.
Moreover, Issho was indeed suitable for the future Police force. However, this would leave the Marines with only Aokiji as an admiral.
Previously, he had considered focusing on cultivating Fisher Tiger, but the future battlefield for the Marines was the universe.
Therefore, it had already been decided that the Fish-Man Tribe warriors would be transferred to the Army and Police later.
Tiger would probably be an Army Headquarters Admiral later, or a member of the Police higher-ups.
In summary, the Marines were lacking two admirals, but currently, there seemed to be no suitable candidates.
Only Charlotte Smoothie had this potential.
But her strength was weaker than Charlotte Katakuri's, and she was quite far from admiral level combat power.
Actually, Im had thought before about whether he could consider otherworld experts?
Just like Hong Lian, Shen He, and these super dangerous beasts, if they were willing, they completely had the strength to serve as admirals.
However, Im was still hesitating about whether to do this.
From the perspective of sensibility, he naturally hoped that all admirals in the military would be Sea Star powerhouses.
But from the perspective of reason, as more and more otherworlds were conquered, the otherworld experts who could serve as admirals would also increase.
At that time, they would definitely be in a competitive relationship with the Sea Star powerhouses.
Then what attitude should the World Government take to handle it?
Accept competition, practice meritocracy, or restrict it so only Sea Star people can become admirals?
The matter was significant, and Im did not dare to easily make a decision.
While writing instructions on the report allowing Issho's transfer request, he thoughtfully opened a new report page.
But this report made Im couldn't help but show surprise.
Edward Newgate voluntarily proposed to serve as an Army Headquarters Admiral!
This was truly a great surprise.
Because it represented that 'Whitebeard' was willing to completely join the World Government.
"Then he had to think carefully about his admiral epithet. Should he continue using 'Whitebeard'?"
Of course, if he were to continue using it, it would definitely be like Shiki's 'Golden Lion'.
'Whitebeard' changed to 'White Beard'.
"Alright, 'White Beard' it is. Otherwise, changing it to something else feels a bit strange."
Im muttered to himself. Then he saw Kaido's report proposing King's promotion to admiral.
Although the Air Force was at full strength, once it merged with the Marines, coupled with Issho's resignation.
At that time, two quotas would open up.
Of course, Kaido didn't know about Fujitora's matter yet.
So he was striving for the 'last' admiral quota for King.
"'King' as an admiral. If his current strength is sufficient, that could also be possible."
Im didn't care what impact having two former 'Beast Pirates' members among the admirals would bring.
Honestly, given the World Government's current situation, considering these things again would seem too lacking in scope.
"Looking at it this way, Issho resigned just in time, effectively freeing up a position for Enel."
Im smiled slightly.
If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't have agreed to 'King's' promotion to admiral.
Because in his plan, Enel must be an admiral in the future.
"However, what about that 'Northern Army Commander'?"
Im clearly understood that Karas also had the potential to be an admiral.
If he couldn't be promoted to admiral, then for a long time in the future, he would probably be the strongest vice admiral in the Marines.
Suddenly, a new report was sent up, and Im casually clicked it open.
The content on it was very simple, just one sentence: "Uchiha Fugaku successfully controlled Elizabello II."
This made him very disappointed, and he no longer hoped for the 'King's Punch'.
How could a person whose consciousness could be controlled so easily produce colorless haki in their attack?
As for the streak of blue lightning that Garp saw, it should be some other kind of strength.
Im was no longer concerned about Garp's matter and continued checking the following reports.
And this time's report.
Unexpectedly, it was intelligence gathered by the ninjas in the New Stargate World!
Namely, Stargate World No. 0009.
Inside, besides writing, there were also a large number of pictures, and even video recordings.
"Pseudo-Divine Weapon"
Im raised an eyebrow and began searching the depths of his mind's memory bank.
As the saying goes, everything has its order.
Before Fujitora's resignation and the matter of the King's Punch.
Over at the Elbaf Kingdom, the duel between Harald and Surtr finally came to an end after three days and three nights.
