Chapter 512: Bad Things Turn into Good Things!
Who?
Who did Im see that surprised him so much?
Fujitora!
A Great Swordsman, a Paramecia System Gravity Fruit Ability User, the 'Future' Marine Admiral 'Fujitora' in the Canon!
"He actually showed up on his own initiative to join the World Government?"
Im originally thought this person would stay in the wilderness for a few more years before coming out. He didn't expect him to be unable to hold back so quickly. That's good too. This way, the famous 'Highest Combat Power' from the 'Canon' are basically gathered.
"But hasn't he gone blind yet?"
Im looked at the photo of Fujitora with sharp eyes in the Documents and speculated in his Heart: "His eyes are perfectly fine, won't this affect his blindness?"
He remembered that in his Previous Life, some 'One Piece Fans' believed that the reason Fujitora could pull asteroids from outer space to act as Meteorites was because his blindness amplified the range of his Observation Haki.
Although he felt this idea wasn't very reliable, even though this wasn't Earth, the World was still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the asteroid belt.
If Fujitora could really locate asteroids just by relying on Observation Haki.
Then he could easily scan any corner of the entire World, even the Seabed tens of thousands of meters below, the Sky Island tens of thousands of meters above, and even the Moon would be within his Perception range.
If an Expert could reach this level of Observation Haki just by being blind, the World Government would have long ago established Troops specifically to cultivate this type of 'super biological radar' to monitor the Whole World.
In comparison.
Im was more inclined to believe that Fujitora used the Gravity Fruit's Ability.
Just like Enel used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Ability to greatly increase the range of his Observation Haki.
However, since it says here that Fujitora's single move caused a Marine Vice Admiral to be unable to stand up from the ground, it seems his Strength hasn't been greatly affected by his eyes being perfectly fine.
Now the question is who should be Fujitora's Opponent.
According to the Rules of the 'Summit War Challenges', a challenger needs to defeat the current Admiral within five days, or be evenly matched and remain undefeated to be considered a successful challenge.
This current Admiral can be an Admiral from the Three Forces or an Honorary Admiral. As for the Candidate, it depends on who Im chooses.
"Hmm?"
Only then did Im discover there was another Paper under this Document. He took it out and saw it was the Data/Files for the second challenger of the 'Summit War'.
Aramaki!
Also the 'Green Bull' who served as a Marine Admiral in the Canon, his Ability is the Logia System Forest-Forest Fruit. His current Position is Army Headquarters Colonel.
There was nothing he could do. When he joined the World Government, there was no 'green channel' like the 'Summit War' or 'World Military Draft' that only looked at Combat Power.
"It seems he feels that being a Colonel is beneath his Talent. But can active Soldiers apply to participate in the 'Summit War'?"
Im recalled the relevant Rules the Five Elders had shown him before. It seemed there really were no restrictions in this regard.
The main reason was that most people in the Military were Understand of their own Strength level.
Just like Bullet, although he would challenge Garp once every year, he didn't apply to challenge in this 'Summit War'.
Firstly, he was already an Army Lieutenant General and an Admiral Candidate. Secondly, he knew he couldn't defeat true Admirals like Sengoku, Whitebeard, and Linlin at the moment.
As for Aramaki and Fujitora, they needed to rely on the 'Summit War' to quickly Obtain the Status of an Admiral-level, or even the Epithet of an Admiral Candidate.
"Then that means two Admirals will need to be chosen as their Opponents..."
To be honest, Im was full of interest in this.
He really liked to appreciate scenes like this that wouldn't or didn't appear in the 'Canon'. He then looked at Stussy and said: "I remember the 'Summit War' takes place after the 'Combat Power Competition' ends, right?"
"Yes, Lord Imu."
"That's good. It seems I still have plenty of Time to consider."
Who would be the most interesting Opponent for 'Fujitora' and 'Green Bull'? He really needed to think carefully, after all, such an opportunity was rare.
Immediately after, he took the 'Four Seas Selection Trial Promotion Personnel List' into his hand and scanned it.
The reason he wanted to look at this was to find the Talent he was Familiarize with, and then have his subordinates focus on cultivating and making Arrangements based on the Situation.
Each Sea Area's Selection Trial selected one hundred people, so there were four hundred people on this List.
Not too many, not too few.
"Krieg, Cindry, Arlong, what are all these guys?" Im muttered to himself in his Heart: "Oh, right, 'Mountain Bandit King' is indeed a character."
"Those 'Hashira' from the Demon Slayer Corps, Mima Amatori, Muzan Kibutsuji, and Levi, it seems they all passed smoothly. That's within expectations."
Although it's a bit metaphysical, these characters who have a certain 'role' in their respective Worlds indeed have stronger luck compared to ordinary people.
There's no basis for this, but it is indeed an objectively existing fact.
However, this doesn't mean they won't encounter calamities or death, it just means their Luck will be slightly better.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Im's eyebrow twitched, because he saw several very Familiarize Names and Photos on the List.
"Yasopp from the East Blue Competition Zone? Benn Beckman from the North Blue Competition Zone?"
The Data/Files showed that one of them was twenty-five years old this year, and the other was twenty-eight. They were indeed in their prime, but their appearance was truly a surprise.
One was a deadly accurate sniper, and the other was one of the smartest Candidates on the World acknowledged by a certain Creator God, and even the so-called 'Yonko Crew First Mate' in the 'Future' Canon.
So what was there to consider? He directly had Stussy bring him a Pen, and then drew a circle on it indicating special attention.
"Yasopp's sniping Talent, which Troops should he be placed in?"
"And that guy Beckman, he needs to be Arranged even more carefully, otherwise it would be a Crime of wasting top-tier Talent..."
Im fell into deep thought for a moment.
"The Marines have been bled too much by me. Should I transfer these two over to replenish them?"
After a moment, he felt that the Arrangement for these two couldn't be Decided immediately. Only then did he turn his Gaze to the person ranked first on the entire List.
Because this was a Logia User, the Five Elders felt he was the most important Talent.
But in Im's Heart, the Value of Beckman and Yasopp was far greater than that of an unknown 'Mumei' Logia User.
"Morgan William from the East Blue Competition Zone, a Logia System Steam Fruit Ability User..."
"The Development Potential of this Ability is quite good. He should be able to create various clouds with his bare hands. He's a good prospect for the Marines, it's just a pity he doesn't want to join the Military..."
Suddenly, Im remembered that since Beckman and Yasopp chose to participate in the 'Combat Power Competition', it meant they also didn't want to join the Military.
This was a bit troublesome.
As a Transmigrator, he naturally Hoped that these top-tier Talent could be absorbed into the World Government. However, the Rules of the 'Combat Power Competition' were there.
Although he was fully capable of Destruction the Rules, he still didn't want to do so if it wasn't necessary.
"Forget it. I'll have someone contact them first and ask..."
Im sighed inwardly in his Heart, then returned this List to Stussy and began looking at the final 'Reform Plan for the next Selection Trial'. To be honest, he was a bit confused why it needed Reform.
Only after he finished reading did he suddenly realize.
"So many people actually died? Indeed, the internal friction is too severe. The competition system has big problems, it must be Reformed!"
Whether it was the World Government or Im, they both lacked Experience in holding World-class Competitions. Therefore, there were bound to be many problems in this first session.
But that was nothing. Everything is perfected step by step.
As for those who died in this session, they could only blame their own bad Luck. What else could be done?
"However, those who were severely injured must be rescued with all effort, and all Medical Treatment expenses must be waived. Even if they lost limbs, they must be helped to grow them back!"
In Im's view, this Matter could not only save these unlucky Talent, but also serve as a Propaganda opportunity to enhance the World Government's positive image in front of the Citizens from all walks of life.
Right, have the Propaganda Department send people to film the entire process!
This way, bad things would turn into good things...
