**Chapter 648: A Miraculous Scene!**
Im first had someone remove the sunshade, then sat down in the middle chair. Esdeath and Historia followed, sitting down one on each side.
Then they heard him issue an Order: "Notify everyone to let the Ark go out for some air. We'll also take a look at the Starlight."
"Yes, Lord!"
Although he didn't specifically name anyone, the people around reacted quickly. One of the High-ranking Executives from Cipher Pol immediately responded, then used 'Shave', turning into an Afterimage and disappearing without a trace.
Noah's Ark was currently within the Space of the 'Door-Door Fruit', so everything above, below, left, and right was a hazy Green Space.
While it was pleasing to the eye and quiet, it became tiring after a long Time, especially at night. Without the Moon and Milky Way overhead, it always felt like something was missing.
"How is your Martial Arts training progressing?"
Im looked at Esdeath.
Even in a Long Dress, she habitually crossed her legs in a Queen-like Posture, displaying her Haki-like temperament without reservation.
This was because she keenly noticed that Im didn't mind this impolite action; in fact, he seemed to appreciate her adopting this arrogant Posture.
While this made her feel a sense of relief, it also made her more satisfied with this man. After all, who wouldn't Hope to live a bit more freely?
As for two Women serving one husband, that was not an issue for Esdeath at all.
A Powerhouse should possess more!
Including that if a Woman is Strong enough, having multiple men is also normal...
"I have already mastered Moonwalk. The Effects of the other Six Powers could already be achieved through the Imperial Fist Temple's Body Control Secret Technique before, which you call 'Life Return'."
"It's just that the Imperial Fist Temple first lets people master 'Life Return' and then uses it as a Foundation to practice Martial Arts Techniques like 'Iron Body' and 'Shave'. Whereas you first let people learn the 'Six Powers' and then further Cultivate 'Life Return'."
"This is the difference between starting difficult then easy, and starting easy then difficult. From the perspective of popularization, your method is definitely better, but for those with Talent, it wastes a lot of Energy and Time."
"So, my personal Suggestion is that the World Government can adjust the Cultivation sequence of the 'Six Powers' and 'Life Return' based on an individual's Talent level."
"For example, let people first try to see if they can sink their Consciousness into their Body to observe their Blood Vessels and Internal Organs. If they can do it within three days, it indicates they have Talent."
"Oh, right, that Breathing Style is a great thing for getting started with Life Return. It can effectively guide and Mobilize a person's Spirit, and different Styles are suitable for people with different Personalities."
"I have to say, the guy who created the Breathing Style is truly a Genius!"
"I have already learned 'Water Breathing', but I feel its Style doesn't suit me. Compared to it, 'Wind Breathing' is more to my Will."
"So I plan to integrate their Characteristics into my Swordsmanship to see if I can create a 'Breathing Style' Style that is uniquely my own..."
Esdeath, this battle maniac and War maniac, became full of Excitement and talked endlessly once she started discussing Martial Arts matters.
She poured out all the thoughts she had generated during her Training these past few days to Im, and Im listened with great interest without any impatience.
To be honest.
He really liked Esdeath's current state. Her appearance of genuinely loving Combat from the bottom of her Heart was beautiful.
At the same Time, Historia, Mikasa, Levi, and the others nearby secretly clicked their tongues in amazement.
Because they had also practiced or were currently Cultivating the Breathing Style, Six Powers, and Life Return.
But no one had been able to learn all of them within a week, and have so many ideas, even preparing to create their own Breathing Style Style.
This time, they truly witnessed Esdeath's astonishing Talent.
Seeing this, Historia's mood became even heavier, as she could feel that Im's liking for Esdeath was greater than for herself, which made her worried...
Seeing that Esdeath had finally finished speaking and was picking up the Hot Tea nearby to moisten her throat, Im asked with a Smile: "Then, how have you mastered your Devil Fruit Ability?"
"Hoo—there wasn't enough Time. I haven't paid attention to it for now, because I remember you said before that Martial Arts and Haki are the Core Strength."
Esdeath drank a cup of Hot Tea, feeling her entire Body become comfortable. She then showed a bright and radiant Smile.
"It's just that ever since I ate the Kirin Fruit, I often dream of a Little Fox and a Little Kirin playing in the Ice and Snow World when I sleep at night. But recently, they seem to have quieted down..."
Im felt very gratified when he heard the first sentence.
The other party had indeed seriously listened to his Suggestion, but the latter sentence made him pause in his Heart.
The Beast Soul of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit and the Danger Beast Will contained within the Imperial Arms?
They fought?
But it seemed neither could do anything to the other, and Esdeath didn't seem to have any major problems...
"Lord Im."
Just as Im was about to ask about this Matter, Stussy returned, with a Little Fox with snow-white fur following at her feet.
However, it wasn't a Nine-Tailed White Fox, but the Little Cloud Fox that Im had brought back from Sky Island back then.
This little fellow seemed to like Stussy more than Historia and Esdeath, so as long as she was on the Ark, it would definitely stay by her side.
"Hmm, the Fox is inside, right?"
Im's Gaze shifted, and he immediately noticed the cage covered with a black cloth in Stussy's hand. Its outline was similar to a large Birdcage.
"Yes, this is the 'Nine-Tailed White Fox' Hong Lian, captured by Iron Fist Admiral Garp and Muzan Kibutsuji. Please see..."
Stussy placed the cage on the Lawn, and then, under everyone's gaze, lifted the black cloth covering it.
Instantly.
A small White Fox with nine tails and a Green Ring around its Neck entered everyone's sight, also causing the Little Cloud Fox nearby to curiously look at the former back and forth.
Unfortunately, the former seemed to be sleeping, lying down in the cage with its Eyes closed.
"Ah, this..."
Esdeath and Historia were instantly speechless. They had originally thought they would see a majestic Divine Beast, but they didn't expect it to become so cute and small under Stussy's Mini-Mini Fruit Ability.
Especially the former, when she thought that the Imperial Arms Power within her Body came from such a small thing, the Corner of her Mouth twitched unconsciously a few times.
"Heh~~"
Im was amused seeing Hong Lian putting on an Attitude of pretending to be asleep and completely ignoring them.
After all, having been a Divine Beast for thousands of years, it was bound to have some arrogance. Seeing that it couldn't win and couldn't resist, it simply acted like an ostrich and gave up.
"Have someone remove the Ring from its Neck, and then restore its Body Size. What I want is not a Little Fox that only knows how to act pitiful!"
Act pitiful?
Hong Lian in the cage immediately felt shame and Anger upon hearing Im's words, but in order to regain Freedom and Strength, she forced herself to endure.
"But Lord Im, this Fox has Combat Power comparable to an Admiral, and..."
Stussy hesitated slightly.
"Remove it."
Im's Expression turned cold. Although he knew Stussy was worried about his safety, he strongly disliked anyone not obeying his Orders.
"Yes!"
Seeing him angry, Stussy's Heart tightened, realizing she had just said something she shouldn't have. She quickly agreed, then took out a Den Den Mushi to notify Tarklama at Impel Down.
Soon, the Green Ring on Hong Lian's Neck automatically disappeared.
Stussy awkwardly looked up at the Power Ceiling: "Lord Im, this Nine-Tailed White Fox is nearly sixty meters in Height, and our floor Height here is only forty meters..."
Because they were on the top floor of the Ark's Ship Tower, the Power Ceiling was curved, making the Height about ten meters higher than the floors below.
But this was still too small for Hong Lian.
Im glanced upwards, and with a flip of his palm, a mass of high-speed rotating white Whirlwind condensed out of thin air.
When the Whirlwind transformed into a mass of light and spread out in all directions, in the blink of an eye, the fifth floor, including the Ship Deck, was completely enveloped in a light blue Space.
This looked somewhat familiar to Esdeath, very much like the scene when she used 'Maha Padoma'.
Even Hong Lian in the cage silently narrowed her Eyes.
However, the next second, everyone saw the arc-shaped Ship Deck automatically split into two halves and move left and right, exposing the Green Space outside.
This turned the top floor into a super large Terrace.
Such a shocking scene left everyone present dumbfounded.
One must know, this was the Ship Deck of Noah's Ark!
"The Height is enough now. Let it out and let me see what a so-called Divine Beast looks like."
At this moment, Im's faint voice startled them back to reality.
"Yes, Lord!"
Stussy lowered her head reverently.
Im first had someone remove the sunshade, then sat down in the middle chair. Esdeath and Historia followed, sitting down one on each side.
Then they heard him issue an Order: "Notify everyone to let the Ark go out for some air. We'll also take a look at the Starlight."
