Chapter 491: The Military Quiets Down!
This meeting of Higher-ups Officers, convened by the Command Department, had a tremendous impact on the Whole Army.
Especially the Vice Admiral level.
This level had always been somewhat stagnant because each military branch only had three Admiral Positions, leaving most people facing the awkward situation of having nowhere further to be promoted.
Coupled with the Upper Limit of their Talent, they couldn't see any possibility of continuing to become stronger.
So many people chose to coast after being promoted to Vice Admiral, just getting by each day.
But this time, the public decision regarding the 'potential unlocking of Life Return' and 'Advanced Haki Techniques' showed them a new Target that could allow their Strength to continue improving.
The Emission and Penetration of Armament Haki, and the future sight of Observation Haki, were enough to turn an ordinary Vice Admiral into an Elite among Elites.
Not to mention Life Return, which might grant people the Regeneration Ability for severed limbs.
However, many Vice Admirals first needed to master basic Life Return, as not every Vice Admiral had valued the use of Life Return before this.
Firstly, the Difficulty was not small.
Secondly, besides being able to stop bleeding, Control hair, and increase digestive Efficiency, it didn't seem like much else.
But now, things were different.
The Value of Life Return greatly increased in the Hearts of the Vice Admirals, and there was also the 'Demon Slayer World Breathing Style', a 'basic Cultivation Method' that allowed for quick understanding and mastering of Life Return.
Therefore, the Vice Admirals in the Army, Marines, and Air Force who hadn't mastered Life Return...
...began seeking guidance on Breathing Style from Sanemi Shinazugawa, Gyomei Himejima, Kyojuro Rengoku, Giyu Tomioka, and Jigoro Kuwajima, these former 'Hashira' from the 'Demon Slayer Corps'.
The latter naturally wouldn't refuse; this was originally their primary job. They were usually responsible for teaching Soldiers the Breathing Style.
However, Gyomei Himejima, Giyu Tomioka, and the others were astonished to find that these Vice Admirals mastered the Breathing Style at an astonishing Speed.
Basically, as long as they demonstrated it once, and then provided Guidance on the Breathing Rhythm and explained the Key Points while the Vice Admirals practiced the Breathing Style for the first time, they could learn the 'Total Concentration' of the Breathing Style.
Then, they would explain the key points of 'Total Concentration: Constant Concentration' once more.
Then, during their second practice of the Breathing Style, they could roughly maintain the breathing state with continuous focus. After they went back and slept for a night, they could completely maintain the Breathing Style even while sleeping.
These Vice Admirals could also keenly choose the Breathing Style Style that best suited them.
To be honest.
Even Giyu Tomioka, the 'Water Hashira' who was called a Genius, was deeply shocked by these Vice Admirals from Marine Headquarters.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, Gyomei Himejima, Kyojuro Rengoku, and the others, being in Army Headquarters where there were more Vice Admirals, suffered an even greater mental impact.
There was nothing they could do. Every person who could be promoted to Vice Admiral was one in ten thousand, an exceptional individual. Even if there were some slackers among them, looking at the entire World, they were still considered to have Exceptional Talent.
If they were placed in the Demon Slayer World, even Yoriichi Tsugikuni would probably have to call them Masters.
Besides this.
These Vice Admirals were also very serious about studying biological knowledge. Every month, they would allocate two days according to regulations to go to the Military and Political Department building to receive instruction from Muzan Kibutsuji.
During this process, no one discriminated against or questioned Muzan's Identity and Strength, because they clearly Understood what was most important.
And during normal times, they would also look through various biology books they had bought, especially those on Human Body biology and Self-healing systems.
They began to gradually learn what Cells were, how Cells were composed, and what the Immune System, stress response system, and repair system were.
Even someone as Strong as Edward Newgate recently stopped using 'Murakumogiri' and was instead seriously studying with several Professional biology Teachers he had invited to his Kingdom with his Sons.
At the same time, he was practicing Breathing Style and Life Return together with them.
Honestly, if 'Whitebeard' in the 'Canon' knew Life Return, his Body condition would definitely be many times better, at least comparable to Garp and Sengoku.
This could also be considered one of the benefits of joining the system.
Otherwise, where would he go to learn Life Return?
It could be said that the entire World's Military seemed to have become very quiet. All the Admirals and Vice Admirals were buried in diligent study and practice. Even someone as lazy as Borsalino was pondering the Penetration of Armament Haki, occasionally picking up a biology Book to flip through.
This directly spurred the lower levels of Rear Admirals, Commodores, Colonels, and Lieutenant Colonels. Influenced by the overall Atmosphere, they trained Martial Arts even more diligently and also followed suit in studying biological knowledge.
Finally, Zephyr directly issued an Order to the Military and Political Department to print a set of three textbooks divided into Advanced, Intermediate, and Basic knowledge points, and then distribute them to the Three Forces and Cipher Pol.
As a result, even the lowest-level Soldiers at Army Headquarters, Marine Headquarters, and Air Force Headquarters began spending two hours each day sitting in classrooms to study.
"Not bad, not bad."
After learning about these changes in the Military while still in the Titan World, Im immediately revealed a very satisfied and pleased Smile.
In his opinion, for the Sea Star People who were naturally strong in Physique, biology was definitely the most important subject.
Only by better Understanding their own Body and grasping the essence of Life Force could they unleash even greater Strength.
Muzan Kibutsuji could be said to be the perfect Teacher in this regard, completely capable of providing a personal demonstration during the teaching process.
And this was just the beginning.
Later, they would also need to deepen their Understanding of Mental Power, and even Soul power. Unfortunately, the World Government currently did not have Professional Teachers in these two areas.
"Speaking of which, the Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament is about to be held..."
Sitting on the Empty Throne, Im suddenly thought of this Matter. He remembered the publicly stipulated Time for the Selection Trial was June 1st, and it was already mid-April now.
"Right, let's still prohibit Military personnel from participating. The original purpose of this Competition was to attract civilian Experts. If more than half of the final Top 100 are Officers from the Three Forces, what would be the point?"
Moreover, he felt that for Officers in the military, the Star Gate Pass wasn't very useful; they couldn't travel to Otherworlds privately at all.
Immediately after.
Im issued this Order to the Five Elders. The Five Elders naturally didn't dare to have any Opinion. However, just as he finished the call, he had a new idea.
"Should I hold a Competition internally within the Military?"
As soon as this idea emerged, Inspiration surged into his mind like a fountain. Im began to ponder.
If he were to hold one, what would be the purpose of this Competition?
He thought about this question for a long time.
"Assessment!"
Im's eyes lit up, and his interest was immediately piqued.
"Currently, the Combat Strength Level of Officers in the military is uneven. Some Rear Admirals might not even be able to defeat a Colonel, and some Vice Admirals are only about the same as a Rear Admiral when they actually fight."
"So, could a fixed major Assessment be used to ensure the Combat Strength Level of the Officer levels, such as Vice Admirals, Rear Admirals, and Commodores?"
Currently, the Military's Promotion system primarily relied on Military Merit, and there were actually no necessary Assessments or evaluations for Strength itself.
Because according to the traditional idea, people who had the Ability/Skill to earn Military Merit definitely possessed a certain level of Strength.
In the 'Canon', it was only because of the Summit War and Aokiji's departure that the World Government made an exception and held a 'World Military Draft' that was based entirely on Strength.
Im's current thinking was that in the future, one could only be promoted up to Commodore based on Military Merit. Beyond that, it should depend on true Combat Power, so that Officers could become truly reliable pillars on the Battlefield.
"Perhaps in the future, Commodores who are about to be promoted to Rear Admiral, in addition to undergoing basic Physical Ability Assessments, should also engage in one-on-one Combat with current Rear Admirals. Only by winning can they be promoted to Rear Admiral, and the same goes for Vice Admirals..."
