**Chapter 1316: Im: Must Conquer More Worlds! (Two-in-One)**
Two months passed in a flash for busy people, almost in a blur.
Marine Calendar 1504, June 1st.
Apart from the Sea Star Adventurers Association Headquarters on Cactus Island, where the Selection Trial had already begun, the other Preliminary Selection Zones also opened simultaneously on this day.
These included the East Blue Preliminary Selection Zone, South Blue Preliminary Selection Zone, West Blue Preliminary Selection Zone, North Blue Preliminary Selection Zone on the Sea Star mainland, and the New World Sea Area Preliminary Selection Zone.
As for the First Half of the Grand Line Sea Area Preliminary Selection Zone, although there was Cactus Island, President Doflamingo, Shanks, Morgan William, Vergo, Diamante, and Benn Beckman, who had just agreed to become the North Blue Branch President and achieved second place in the previous Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament, along with others, held a meeting. Considering that Cactus Island was already overcrowded, they decided to set up another Preliminary Selection Zone in Alabasta to alleviate the pressure.
This would also allow more Sea Star people to get acquainted with the elves there, saving them from being overly surprised every time they met.
However, this posed a considerable challenge for the local police. After all, among so many competitive experts, it was inevitable that there would be some ill-intentioned bastards.
At Beckman's reminder, Doflamingo specifically contacted Dragon and told him to be prepared.
Dragon knew the importance of the situation. He immediately gave an order to Gaspardi, telling him to lead a large number of police officers from the Public Security Department and temporarily station them in Alabasta. During the Selection Trial period, they were to protect the Elf Race and the Zero Demon Dragon Race residing in the Sandora River.
After being taught a lesson by Charlotte Katakuri, Gaspardi seemed to have recognized his own strength and talent. He had become much more well-behaved recently and was doing his job properly.
Dragon was very satisfied with this result.
At the same time.
The Preliminary Selection Zones in seven other worlds—Kabaneri World, Demon Slayer World, Titan World, Imperial Arms World, Familiar of Zero World, Ninja World, and Nuclear Weapon World—also officially opened.
Im, in the Ninja World, was also paying attention in his leisure time. After all, compared to the First Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament, the number of participating worlds this time was significantly higher.
Of course, with the World Government's development momentum, the future Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament would definitely become more lively.
At this moment.
On a lawn on Noah's Ark, Im sat on a chair, listening to Stussy explain the competition intelligence to him. Behind him were the lovely Ubuyashiki Four Sisters. In front of him were Tsunade and Akame, who were playing tennis.
The former, using the Monster Strength unleashed by her chakra, could always hit the ball with power comparable to a Hadoken. This caused the originally flat grass court inside the court to be blasted with ugly dirt pits. Fortunately, the latter's strength was not weak either, and even if she couldn't catch the ball, she wouldn't get injured.
On the other side.
Kurome and Mikasa were also there, commanding their respective Chomper and Pineapple Chain Blade to battle. Occasionally, a huge sound like a nuclear explosion would come from outside Noah's Ark. That was Esdeath having her daily training match with Little Ten-Tails.
Meanwhile, Historia was with a group of pets, including the Mysterious Sunflower, Cloud Fox, Rose Witch, and Thousand Year Dragon. She was in the Magical Botanical Garden on the lower level with the Fourth Floor Guardian, Hercule, tending to the plants and large insects from various worlds. According to her, that was her favorite place.
However, Im had long been accustomed to these scenes. His attention was more focused on Stussy's words.
"Two people from the Kabaneri World passed the Selection Trial?"
Im was a little surprised. He had originally thought that no one from the Kabaneri World would be able to participate this time. After all, both the physique of the people and the local resources in that world were very backward. And protagonists like Biba Amatori, Kurusu, Mekko, and Hozumi (Mumei) couldn't possibly participate.
"Yes, their names are Kibito and Uryuu. They are both General Yomokawa's retainers."
"Among them, Uryuu was a former member of the Hunter Guard that Biba Amatori established. He possesses combat talent that is considered excellent in the Kabaneri World."
As Stussy spoke, she used a video den den mushi to project their profiles and pictures in front of Im.
The person named Kibito was tall and burly, with a robust physique, like an ancient general. The person named Uryuu appeared thinner, but his gaze was sharp, with a bit of a ninja's aura.
"The reason they were able to pass the Selection Trial is that Dr. Shouei from the Biochemical Research Institute, at the request of General Ayame Yomokawa, provided them with the Nue Form Kabaneri Enhancement Serum."
"Deputy Commander Mekko of the Kabaneri Troops also specifically took leave for several months to go to the Kabaneri World to train them in using the power of the Nue and taught them the Demon Slayer Breathing Style."
"Furthermore, Researcher Ikoma from the Weapons Research Institute provided them with the latest jet guns, small Bugi bombs, and various special ammunition."
"His wife, Hozumi, also sent some Purple Butterfly Emergency Pills, Tamayo Detoxification Pills, Gourmet Plant Seeds, and balls that have the effect of taming animals."
Im couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this. The people from the Kabaneri World were also linking up.
"What about Biba Amatori?"
Stussy smiled and said, "Captain Amatori of CP8 only sent over two Nichirin Blades."
Im nodded. He didn't see any problem with this kind of mutual help between compatriots. Of course, the premise was that it wasn't excessive.
Stussy noticed Im's expression and continued to talk about the situation in other worlds.
"In the Demon Slayer World, ten people passed the Selection Trial. All of them were people whom Muzan Kibutsuji helped enhance. Four of them are martial artists from various nations, and the other six are soldiers who recently retired from the military of various nations."
At the same time, Stussy also projected their profiles. Im glanced over them briefly.
The first was Masahiko Kimura, a Takeuchi Sankyu-ryu Judoka from the Second Special Zone, Former Japan. The profiles showed that he was known as the strongest martial artist in the history of the former nation of Japan. He did a thousand push-ups every day and had nicknames like 'Demon Kimura' and 'Kumamoto Monster'.
Then there was Jack Dempsey, known as the 'strongest heavyweight boxer in White Head Eagle Country'. There was also Adisak, known as the 'strongest Muay Thai boxing king in Black Elephant Country', and Kharatan, a wrestler known as the 'strongest Bökh hero in Mongolia'.
Besides these four, there were six retired soldiers, all top soldier kings from various nations. One of them, named Yimi, taught the other five his self-created Krav Maga over the past few months.
After reading, Im didn't know how to evaluate it. Especially these temporarily retired soldiers, it could only be said that the Demon Slayer nations had gone all out. These people couldn't return to the military after participating in the tournament, otherwise, it would be suspected of playing tricks on the World Government.
However, regarding Muzan Kibutsuji's action of helping people enhance their bodies, Im wondered if he should impose some restriction. He was essentially a human form cell enhancement serum manufacturing machine.
"After Muzan Kibutsuji returned to Sea Star, he voluntarily reported this matter and stated that this was the last time he would enhance someone without permission."
Stussy smiled sweetly, explaining for Muzan in a timely manner.
After hearing this, Im felt that, as expected of Muzan Kibutsuji, he was truly cautious enough.
"Continue."
Stussy was obedient and replied softly, "Okay, next is the Titan World."
"In this world, only the citizens of various races who migrated from the Farmart World can participate in the tournament."
"However, because of this, not many people were willing to participate. After all, they still need to adapt to the new environment."
"Fortunately, the strength of those who were willing to participate is not bad. There are very few humans, but most are beast-type demi-humans, Centaur Race, Medusa Race, and the Dwarf Race, who are good at combat."
Speaking of this, Stussy paused, then continued:
"However, the few CP7 members who infiltrated there sent back news saying that they saw two figures suspected to be half-gods."
"They are Giselle, the Apostle of the God of the Underworld, Hades, and Mabel Von, the Apostle of the God of Light, Freya."
"Although they deliberately changed their attire and used fake names, their life aura, which was far stronger than ordinary people, could not be concealed."
"However, according to the investigation, these two half-gods seem to have lost their divine power. CIPHER POL Headquarters has asked for instructions on whether to carry out an arrest?"
Im thought for a moment and made a decision: "No need to arrest them. The matter is in the past. Tell them that they don't need to hide their identity. As long as they no longer resist the World Government and abide by the law, we will not make things difficult for them."
These so-called half-gods, with the demise of the chief gods who bestowed divinity and divine power upon them, had long since lost any connection to the word 'god'. This not only weakened their strength significantly but also deprived them of the characteristic of immortality. The reason they were still alive was merely that they were consuming their remaining lifespan.
That's right, the so-called immortality. Just that those chief gods used divine power to 'pause' the flow of lifespan for these apostles. So they would age normally from now on.
But even if Giselle and Mabel, these 'former half-gods', became weaker, they would definitely be stronger than many ordinary people. They should be similar to Bryan, who was summoned by Tiffania. In the Bone King World, they would probably be considered figures in the Hero Realm.
They were probably about the same as the World Government's current lieutenant-level combatants. They definitely couldn't reach the colonel rank.
One major in the military now was enough to match a former colonel. In the original timeline, sixteen years later, Headquarters Colonel Smoker, who guarded Loguetown, might not even be able to defeat a major now.
Because now, only those who mastered Armament Haki could be promoted to colonel rank in the military. The Smoke-Smoke Fruit's element transformation, let alone being an advantage, would likely become a disadvantage and result in a Vergo-style beatdown.
"Understood, I will obey your imperial will."
Stussy replied respectfully, and then heard Im ask:
"Speaking of half-gods, how is that Rory whom Newgate adopted as his daughter?"
Stussy answered without hesitation.
"Rory Mercury? She also participated in this Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament."
"White Whale Admiral personally sent her to Wano Island, which was designated as a Preliminary Selection Zone, and she successfully passed all the assessment items for the Selection Trial."
After speaking, sensing Im's concern for Rory, Stussy projected her profiles. The content was very detailed. Almost everything that had happened since she arrived at Sea Star was explained one by one.
It had to be said that CIPHER POL's ability in this regard was getting better and better.
As for the epithet 'White Whale Admiral', it naturally referred to Edward Newgate. Although the official announcement of him formally taking on the position of Army General was to be made at the Reverie, Stussy felt that calling him 'White Whale Admiral' in advance showed more respect than calling him by his full name or his pirate nickname 'Whitebeard'.
And this admiral epithet was naturally decided by Im. He originally wanted to call him 'Whitebeard', or 'White Tiger', which would incur a fine. After all, Fujitora was about to go to the Ministry of Police Affairs, so that admiral epithet would no longer exist. But later, Im thought of the Moby Dick of the Former Whitebeard Pirates. Wasn't that a blue whale shape?
So, he finally decided that Edward Newgate's admiral epithet would be 'White Whale'. At the same time, he would serve as the legion commander of the Fifth Main Battle Legion of the Army Headquarters.
However, this meant that 'Diamond' Jozu's 'Admiral Dream' was shattered. Originally, if Edward Newgate hadn't come, he would probably have been promoted.
But with the appearance of Otsutsuki Transformation Aramaki and Edward Newgate, the quality of the admirals at the Army Headquarters almost directly increased.
Jozu's current strength was definitely not enough.
"Lord Im, Rory Mercury is now the apple of White Whale Admiral's eye."
"Although she has also lost her divine power, her strength has rapidly improved in just these few months."
Stussy looked at Im with a smile:
"The people below estimate that she is comparable to the military's colonel rank combatants. If there are no accidents, her name should be among the Top 100."
Im nodded, thinking that he would pay more attention to this Death God Loli when the time came.
"Continue."
"Next is the Imperial Arms World. This world is much better than the previous ones, but the Selection Trial blocked many alchemists who wanted to participate."
"They even proposed a demand for preferential treatment for alchemists to the officials of the Competition Organizing Department on the spot, stating that their combat power was not weaker than strong men with full muscle."
After speaking, Stussy expressed her own idea.
"Lord Im, their demand has some principle. Just the first step of alchemy, disintegration, has great killing power in combat."
"But alchemists are not like mages and ninjas, who have magic power or chakra in their bodies that can enhance their physical ability."
"It can be said that it is impossible for them to achieve 10 Douriki value with their bare hands, let alone complete those physical fitness assessments. Should the rules be adjusted?"
Im pondered for a long time, deep in thought. The Competition Organizing Department probably regarded alchemists as scientific research personnel or engineering personnel. In short, they didn't consider them combat personnel, so they didn't consider their situation.
But in reality, there were indeed some people among alchemists who were good at combat. And these people, although they usually trained their bodies, focused more on studying the application technique of alchemy.
However, Im didn't know what to do either. Although alchemists could control mental power, they hadn't reached the level of psychokinesis.
In the end, he could only choose to give up.
Sigh, let the Competition Organizing Department handle it themselves, otherwise, wouldn't he be raising them for nothing?
Seeing this, Stussy quickly changed the subject, no longer letting Im be conflicted over such a triviality.
"Speaking of which, I received news that Imperial Prince Qin Su, who is studying in Academy City."
"Actually brought his Humanoid Imperial Arms, Susanoo, to the Adventurer's Guild to participate in the Selection Trial."
"At that time, President Doflamingo was even alarmed because of Susanoo."
"Hmm?"
As expected, after hearing this, Im immediately became interested. The Little Emperor participated? His Supreme Imperial Arm was still in his study room serving as a model.
Stussy then smiled and said:
"In addition, Hank Henriette, the Pseudo-Divine Weapon Fenrir, who came to Sea Star from the Beast God World."
"After Dr. Elaine successfully completed his resurrection, he went to Alabasta alone to participate in the Selection Trial."
"He even voluntarily informed the Competition Organizing Department about the possibility of him losing control."
The more Im listened, the better his mood became. This was the Sea Star he wanted, the Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament he hoped for.
But it wasn't enough. He must conquer more worlds and let the strongest from more worlds participate!
