Chapter 1338: Gintama? Yato? (Two-in-One)
"World Gate!"
In a dimly lit prison cell with stone walls on all sides and a faint strange smell.
Under the shocked gaze of the space pirate, Brimir placed one hand on the other party's forehead and gently waved the Magic Wand in his palm.
Immediately, a mass of white light appeared out of thin air, illuminating the entire prison cell exceptionally brightly.
Soon, this white light condensed into a circular Space Gate.
Redfield, Columbus, Magellan, and others standing behind Brimir then saw the scene inside the 'Gate'.
They saw beams of light passing through dense tree branches and air, reflecting on the ground covered with layers of tree leaves.
The other side seemed to be a tranquil forest.
However, both the light and the tree leaves on the upper and lower ends were golden and yellow.
"It looks very much like ginkgo trees, no, it should be ginkgo trees!"
Redfield, who made the judgment, felt slightly relieved.
At least the environment on the other side looked normal.
Moreover, there seemed to be no other creatures near the 'World Gate', which was also a good thing.
"Go in."
Redfield turned his head and instructed the five CP5 members waiting outside the Gate.
"Yes!"
Stein Jay, the captain of this squad, immediately responded respectfully.
He first put on a completely black, full-coverage tactical helmet, then activated the 'Justice Detector' on his left arm.
Everything was ready.
Captain Jay was the first to step into the 'World Gate', appearing on another planet from the prison cell.
The two were separated by an unknown number of light years in the universe.
But under the magical effect of 'space teleportation', one could arrive instantly.
[Analyzing air composition, air temperature, calculating planet gravity, scanning nearby biological heat sources, constructing terrain map...]
A cold, emotionless female voice suddenly sounded in Captain Jay's tactical helmet.
But he was already used to it, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
A moment later, the four CP5 members still on the other side of the 'Gate' saw Captain Jay give them a thumbs-up.
This meant everything was normal and they could come in.
In fact, they all had this equipment.
But to prevent the entire squad from being wiped out, it was stipulated that only one person would be sent initially to be responsible for these tasks.
Jay felt that as the captain, he should bear the risk.
Soon, the four people stepped through the 'World Gate' one by one, arriving in this forest filled with yellow.
"Star God Brimir, does this 'World Gate' need to be temporarily closed?" Redfield asked.
Brimir smiled and said, "Normally, creatures with weak magic power or mental power cannot see this 'Gate', but maintaining it requires me to provide magic power."
Redfield nodded, understanding Brimir's meaning.
The advantage of the 'World Gate' was that it was difficult to detect.
For example, in the 'Nuclear World', even if it appeared on a bustling street, no one would notice.
However, the existence of the 'Gate' would continuously consume magic power.
Redfield believed that with Brimir's strength, he should be able to maintain it for a long time.
But there was no need to do so.
They just needed to agree on the time for the next 'Open Gate' with this CP5 squad.
Redfield said, "In that case, I'll trouble you to stay here for a few days."
"No problem, this is my first time here too. While accompanying Louise and Saito-san, I can also visit this Impel Down."
After speaking, Brimir said with a friendly attitude, "Are you going back? I'll send you."
"No need."
Redfield refused.
Because when the 'World Gate' connected to a place Brimir had never been to, he needed to touch the other party's body to read memory related to it.
The key was that Brimir was the 'Spark' of the 'God of the Void'.
To avoid attracting the other party's gaze towards the cosmic star zone where the Sea Star was located.
He also couldn't casually go to the planet on the other side of the 'Gate', as there was no 'Star Fate' there to help shield it.
What was interesting was this point about needing to touch the body to read memory.
Whether it was Observation Haki, the Rinnegan's Soul Absorption Technique, or the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Communication Jutsu, they were all the same.
Redfield naturally knew that Brimir would not, and dared not, harm him.
But he still didn't want someone else's power to penetrate his brain and memory.
Even if it meant he would have to spend more time traveling back to headquarters by airship.
Brimir watched Redfield's departing back view and casually closed the 'World Gate' without a care.
After greeting Warden Columbus, he went to Louise's prison cell on his own.
[Thud!]
After Magellan locked the cell door again.
Only the dejected space pirate was left here. He had thought he would be let out...
On the other side.
Captain Jay and the four others transformed into afterimages, flying rapidly through the ginkgo trees.
In just a moment, they reached the edge of this forest.
As the view suddenly opened up before them.
They saw layers upon layers of hills, golden colors covering the mountains and plains, and a thin mist lingering, giving one the illusion of being in autumn.
"Ten o'clock direction, twelve kilometers, move out!"
Captain Jay looked down at his 'Justice Detector' and immediately gave the order.
Because the screen showed a large number of creatures gathered in that direction.
It should be a city on this 'Planet Hooper'.
Yes.
They had already heard a simple introduction to this world from that space pirate.
Beetle Constellation B System, Green Pine Seven Star, Fourth Planet.
Although located on the edge of the Galactic Empire's star field, it had not yet been conquered and remained neutral.
Therefore, it became a planet where many space pirates often came to rest and replenish supplies.
For example, their Odette Pirate Group.
The civilization here was called the 'Hooper Kingdom', and it was said to have decent military power, enough to make most space pirates not dare to cause trouble here.
But that was all.
In fact, with the Galactic Empire's rule expanding further.
Most space pirates were also unwilling to destroy such a neutral planet that was willing to host them.
That space pirate said so...
[Swish swish swish swish!]
The five members of CP5 moved like arrows shot out.
Stepping on the moist and fertile soil, they quickly passed through patches of pine forests and ginkgo tree forests.
However, when they approached about five kilometers from their destination, they subconsciously slowed down until they stopped completely.
Because everyone heard rumbling sounds coming from the front, seemingly explosions?
"Conceal yourselves!"
Captain Jay immediately gave the order, and he himself quickly hid behind a thick tree trunk.
He took a short tube from his waist and skillfully extended the body of the tube.
It was a retractable monocular telescope!
This was the 'Ministerial Relic: Thousand-Mile Eye', imitated by the 'Imperial Relic Craftsmen' of Famous Sword Town, drawing inspiration from the 'Imperial Relic: Thousand-Mile Heavenly Eye' and the modern telescopes of the 'Nuclear World'.
Although its visible distance was not as exaggerated as the former's one thousand kilometers, only a few kilometers.
But it had the supernatural function of 'X-ray Vision', equivalent to the ability of the 'Byakugan'.
Not only that, it also had a 'Share' function.
The screen feed seen by the user would be simultaneously displayed on the display screens of other nearby 'Justice Detectors'.
Therefore, when Captain Jay held up the 'Thousand-Mile Eye' and looked into the distance, the other four lowered their heads to look at the screens in their hands.
However, at first glance, they were surprised.
They saw in the screen feed large and small, crystal clear, glowing bright yellow spherical buildings.
Standing at the bottom plain of the majestic hills.
Together with ginkgo trees that fluttered like yellow butterflies, they formed an extremely spectacular and beautiful exotic city.
But above it.
Three giant warships with a rugged style and green coating were continuously unleashing fierce cannon fire on the city.
Each bombardment caused the city to let out a mournful cry that echoed through the clouds, and each explosion stirred up a tsunami-like surging sea of fire.
At the same time, dense swarms of golden fighter jets, like a beehive, constantly circled them, firing lasers everywhere, but were always unable to break through the warships' tough and thick armor.
"Is this war?"
"No, it seems to be an attack by space pirates."
"But didn't that guy say that they, space pirates, wouldn't destroy this planet?"
"Could it be that the Galactic Empire's fleet has come to conquer this place?"
"Probably not, that guy said that the Galactic Empire's military warships have protective shields!"
The four members of the CP5 squad discussed the current situation, one after another.
With the tactical helmets providing insulation, they didn't have to worry about their voices leaking out.
"Coton, Zabi, go in and take a look. If there's a chance, capture one alive and question them!"
At this moment, Captain Jay gave the order.
"Yes!"
Tenashi Coton and Orcan Zabi quickly agreed.
They then used the 'Ministerial Relic: Thousand-Layered Garment' on their bodies to infiltrate the soil underground and quickly advanced towards the city being ravaged by war.
In the darkness, they didn't have to worry about getting lost.
Because their position would be displayed in real-time on the eyepieces inside their tactical helmets.
However, to see the specific scene, they needed to find a hidden spot and peek out.
"What is that..."
At a certain corner of a wall, Coton had just peeked out from the ground when he saw the street in the distance.
There were three humanoid creatures with dark green skin color, one or two horns on their heads, and scarlet eyes.
They were holding weapons stained with yellow liquid, wantonly slaughtering the 'Hooperians' who were fleeing in panic around them.
Even though 'Hooper Warriors' wearing golden armor desperately tried to stop them, they were no match for them in a single exchange.
Those seemingly extremely savage and brutal 'Green Skins', although they didn't have much armor on their bodies, completely crushed the 'Golden Armor' who looked more well-equipped and had a military advantage.
The gap between the two sides in strength, speed, reaction, and even combat experience was visible to the naked eye!
A casual slash from a 'Green Skin' was enough to send several 'Golden Armor' flying, smashing the arched bridges or walls along the way and kicking up clouds of smoke and dust.
Even if the 'Golden Armor' side attacked with laser guns, the 'Green Skins' would dodge in a seemingly reckless and unskilled manner.
Then they would burst out with astonishing speed, rush up, and cut them down.
They seemed to be very good at dealing with laser or ranged weapon attacks.
"What do you think?"
Tenashi Coton asked Orcan Zabi, who appeared in another corner.
The two had trained together on Kona Island and had a good relationship.
"They look like larger versions of goblins, but their strength is estimated to be comparable to the military's corporals."
Orcan Zabi said thoughtfully, "They are much stronger than the space pirates we captured."
"Capture one to take back?" Tenashi Coton asked.
Although it was strange.
But they learned from the captured space pirate.
All the planetary civilizations discovered by the Galactic Empire in the past ten years had languages and writing that were roughly the same.
Even with the biggest differences, they could barely understand each other.
It was as if the languages of all living beings in the entire universe were common.
So Coton felt there should be no need to worry about communication problems.
"Okay, you capture a 'Green Skin', I'll capture a 'Golden Armor'. Try not to cause too much commotion!" Zabi made the decision.
"Hehe, with all this bombardment, no matter how much commotion we make, it won't be bigger than theirs, right?"
Coton looked up at the warships and fighter jet swarms still engaged in fierce battle in the sky and laughed.
Zabi didn't respond. He had already infiltrated the underground again, patiently searching for a lone 'Golden Armor'.
Seeing this, Coton also stopped talking and began to approach a 'Double-Horned Green Skin' in the distance who was holding a battle axe, charging into the crowd of 'Hooperians' and stirring up a bloody storm.
"You're the one. Who told you to be the most arrogant..." Tenashi Coton sneered in his heart.
[Bang!]
When he reached the 'Green Skin's' feet.
He immediately used the ability of the 'Ministerial Relic: Thousand-Layered Garment' to control the surrounding land, forming seemingly soft earth waves.
Before the other party could react, he quickly wrapped around their legs and pulled downwards.
"What?!"
The 'Double-Horned Green Skin's' expression changed drastically.
He felt as if he had suddenly sunk into soft soil in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, an unfamiliar face of a 'common Human Race' appeared before him.
But just as he was about to shout, a stinging pain shot through the center of his brow, and he immediately lost consciousness.
"Hey, skin's thick enough, tough enough. As long as he's not dead!"
Coton chuckled, simultaneously retracting the finger he had poked out.
Although he had held back most of his strength in this 'Finger Pistol', he was still worried about poking a bloody hole.
Now it seemed he had underestimated these 'Green Skins' a bit.
The next second.
All the turned-up soil returned to being flat under the terrified gazes of the nearby 'Hooperians'.
The two figures also disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, Orcan Zabi was lucky.
He found a 'Golden Armor' who had been slashed by a 'Green Skin', but only suffered minor injuries thanks to the protection of the armor on his chest.
Without a word, an earth wave flipped up, then rolled, and the entire person was pulled into the soil...
The next day, evening.
The 'Green Skin' and 'Golden Armor' captured by this CP5 squad appeared inside Impel Down.
A moment later.
Detailed information compiled by CIPHER POL Headquarters appeared before Im.
"Planet Hooper... Combat Race, Cosmic Mercenaries... Dakini?"
Im fell into deep thought, looking at the holographic virtual image on his office desk.
He was, of course, searching his memory.
He felt that 'Dakini' sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't immediately recall it.
About ten minutes passed, and Im's eyes suddenly lit up.
He found the relevant memory!
"It's actually 'Gintama'. But didn't the 'Sea Star' mentioned by the space pirate before come from 'Bodacious Space Pirates'? How could it be..."
Im muttered to himself, feeling a bit speechless.
Regarding the 'Sea Star', he hadn't remembered it at first.
Later, through the 'keywords' 'Space Pirate', he found clues deep in his memory.
Back then, because he liked 'One Piece', out of love for related works, he had specifically looked for similar ones.
Then he watched the first few episodes of 'Bodacious Space Pirates'.
And it did match up; the Galactic Empire was in it.
However, in the 'Plot', it was one hundred and twenty years later.
The Galactic Empire had developed into a super cosmic force ruling over large star systems.
But now, it had only been expanding outwards for about ten years.
As for the other Cosmic Federation, Im actually had a speculation, but there was no strong basis to support it yet.
But he really didn't expect 'Gintama' to mix in.
And be in the same cosmic star zone as his 'Sea Star'!
"So there must be 'Yato' as well..." Im mused in his heart.
The strongest combat race in the universe?
He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
This meant that the 'Saiyans' and the 'Frost Demon Race' were not in this cosmic star zone!
"World Gate!"
In a dimly lit prison cell with stone walls on all sides and a faint strange smell.
Under the shocked gaze of the space pirate, Brimir placed one hand on the other party's forehead and gently waved the Magic Wand in his palm.
