Chapter 1342: The Seven Greats, The Three Greats, Dark Matter!
Ninja World.
"Pirula."
Im looked at the report sent by Cipher Pol, lost in thought.
Regarding the Dakini Tribe and Pirula himself, he actually didn't pay them much importance.
The so-called 'Cosmic Battle Race' and 'One of the Three Great Mercenaries of the Universe' sounded somewhat ridiculous now.
The report mentioned that Pirula, who was defeated by Sanemi Shinazugawa, had been temporarily imprisoned on Underground Level 3 of Impel Down.
This meant his combat power was assessed at the Rear Admiral level.
If a bounty were to be issued, it would be over five million Berry, equivalent to over one hundred million Berry previously.
However, it was also noted above.
Pirula's Rear Admiral level combat power was barely sufficient; strictly speaking, it should be considered Commodore level combat power.
But he was indeed stronger than many Commodores.
This is mainly because the Commodore group, as it is the highest military rank that can be achieved through accumulating military merit, is quite a mixed bag.
Starting from Rear Admiral, one needs to undergo a combat strength assessment.
That is, one must engage in a fierce battle with a current Rear Admiral for a day and a night without being defeated to be promoted from Commodore to Rear Admiral.
The same applies to the higher ranks: Vice Admiral, General, and Admiral.
This ensures that the military's high-tier combatants are almost entirely without padding.
Getting back to Pirula.
He should be considered one of the power ceilings for individual combat power in "Gintama".
Only Utsuro, Kouka, and Kankou are likely slightly stronger than Pirula.
But the former two are 'Altana', which Im refers to as 'Star Spirits'.
And the latter is a man who holds many epithets such as 'Strongest King of the Yato Tribe', 'Savior Who Swept Across the Stars', and even 'Cosmic Strongest'.
Now, referencing Pirula's strength, the strength of these three should be at the Rear Admiral level.
But they are still quite far from Vice Admiral.
As mentioned before, although Utsuro and Kouka are 'Star Spirits'.
They can only absorb the 'Altana' of a planet to replenish energy when their internal 'Altana' is insufficient, based on their own upper limit of tolerance.
As for their specific combat power, it can be seen from the process of Utsuro and Kankou's exchange blows that they are similar.
Looking at how Kankou managed to cut off one of Utsuro's arms during their fierce battle, he even seems to have richer combat experience.
It's just a pity that as long as Utsuro still has 'Altana' within him, he can infinitely regenerate his body.
There is simply no issue of insufficient stamina or overly severe injuries.
And Kankou doesn't have the ability to trap Utsuro and exhaust him to death.
Therefore, without special circumstances, his possibility of defeating Utsuro is very low.
The result would be the same if it were Pirula.
But this doesn't mean Utsuro is a level stronger than them.
In short, Im naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to characters with less than Vice Admiral level combat power.
However, even he had to admit.
The talent and potential of Pirula and these few individuals are indeed very high.
Once they live under the World Government, it probably won't take long for them to reach Vice Admiral level.
Uh, Kouka should already be dead.
Speaking of which, Im wasn't sure about life forms like 'Star Spirits'.
After death, do their souls also enter the Netherworld like normal living beings?
"But he doesn't have a flower growing on his head, so he hasn't been parasitized yet."
Im's eyes lit up as he looked at the photo of Pirula in the report.
In the 'Canon'.
This Pirula was parasitized in the brain by a 'parasitic plant' called 'Parapap Paradise' on Planet Hooper.
This caused his entire humanity to change drastically, creating another personality named 'Pirako', who loved all life, especially plants.
So this 'Parapap Paradise' should still be somewhere on Planet Hooper.
And it's possible it's near the 'Capital'.
Im planned to have people search for it; after all, it's a magical plant with peculiar abilities.
It could be used for 'Research' by the 'Agricultural College', or it could add variety to his own 'Botanical Garden'.
Speaking of which, there is a similar 'parasitic plant' on the Sea Star mainland.
It's the 'Lily Carnation' from the 'Movie Version: Carnival Baron'.
Im felt that the ability of this 'Lily Carnation' was even more magical than 'Parapap Paradise'.
Perhaps he could let Aramaki try to cultivate more similar plants.
"It's already July now, Aramaki's 'Karma' should be completely unsealed, right?"
Im picked up the 'Pure Gold Den Den Mushi' on the desk and called Stussy.
"Oh my, Lord Im, I was just about to come find you!" The Den Den Mushi imitated Stussy's expression and chuckled.
"What is it?" Im was a little surprised.
Stussy said softly, "It was Otsutsuki Kaguya who just contacted me, saying she wants to come back and see you."
"Kaguya..."
Im was taken aback; he had actually forgotten about her.
Previously, this 'Little Kaguya' had been traveling to various places on the Sea Star, accompanied by Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
It seemed she had finished touring and had made a decision.
"Alright, let her come." Im readily gave his agreement.
He probably guessed what 'Little Kaguya' wanted to say, and conveniently, he had nothing left to hesitate.
"Okay!"
Stussy respectfully agreed, and then heard Im say, "Also, call Aramaki over. Im wants to see him."
"Yes, I shall obey your Imperial Will..."
Meanwhile.
In the outer space near Planet Hooper.
A fleet of spaceships of various forms and sizes floated.
They were all space pirates who had originally planned to rest here for a few days and replenish supplies.
But who would have thought that the Dakini Tribe would descend with such power, forcing them to make an emergency flight away.
Many people were worried about getting into trouble and had already left this galaxy.
Those who remained now were just looking for excitement.
Before, everyone had only heard that the Dakini Tribe had destroyed the civilization on some planet.
Now that they could witness it firsthand, they naturally had to cherish the opportunity.
Wouldn't they have something to talk about when drinking with others in the future?
It was just a pity for Planet Hooper.
There really aren't many civilizations willing to host pirates.
However, no one was willing to stand up for them and confront the Dakini Tribe frontally.
Besides, these small-time pirates couldn't afford to provoke them.
Perhaps the 'Seven Great Pirate Crews' who received 'Letters of Marque' issued by the 'Sea Star' could afford to provoke the Dakini, Yato, and Shinra, these 'Three Great Mercenary Groups'.
As for the Cosmic Federation... to be honest, they weren't very clear.
After all, the two sides were too far apart, and the Galactic Empire and the Cosmic Federation were still in a state of war.
At most, they had heard that there seemed to be a space pirate group called 'Dark Matter' on the Cosmic Federation side...
"Boss, how long do you think Planet Hooper can last?"
Inside the ship cabin of the Rhino Ray.
A blue-skinned pirate with four eyes grinned as he looked at Captain Solano, who was smoking in the main seat.
"That depends on the requirement of the employer who hired the Dakini. If it's to 'clean up thoroughly', it might take one or two months."
Captain Solano answered casually.
At the same time, he continued to listen to the chats of other pirate captains on the communication channel, occasionally interjecting a sentence.
The content was mostly related to Planet Hooper and the Dakini.
Now they were contemplating whether it was possible to go down and make a fortune amidst the chaos.
Just then, an exclamation rang out in the channel.
"The Dakini were wiped out by the Hooper people!!!"
The originally lively channel instantly fell silent, followed by a cacophony of angry curses and mockery.
Most people simply didn't believe it, thinking the person was joking and talking nonsense.
But a few captains, half-believing and half-doubting, began to seek confirmation.
They had been afraid of angering the Dakini people before, so they hadn't dared to send out drones to film.
But now they couldn't worry about that.
Soon.
High-definition images from inside the 'Hooper Capital' appeared on the screens inside the spaceships.
They saw Hooper Warriors wearing magnificent golden armor dragging blood-soaked green bodies, piling them up in several zones, clearly cleaning up the battlefield.
The... the Dakini Tribe was really wiped out?
How is this possible!
Including Captain Solano, the space pirates inside the spaceships.
Regardless of their identity, they were all dumbfounded and filled with astonishment as they looked at the screen feed at this moment.
Were the Hooper Star people this strong?
No wonder they dared to extensively host the frequently visiting space pirates!
But why wait until the Capital City was ruined?
