Chapter 669: Who Exactly is Lord Imu?
This Golden Giant who was proclaiming Im's Divine Oracle.
It was none other than the Commander of the Giant God Soldier, Jaguar D. Saul.
However, because he had pulled down the golden mask on his Armor, aside from his thick reddish-brown hair, his specific Face was completely obscured.
Furthermore, Saul's physique had undergone significant changes after years of diligent Training/Exercise. The thick flab that once resembled a Beer Belly had long since transformed into strong, solid Abs, and his figure had become more slender and imposing.
One could say that his entire Art Style was completely different from his Canon self.
As soon as Saul finished speaking, while the Commoners from Other Worlds hadn't yet reacted, the Officials, Generals, Nobility, and other Elite Class from various Countries were in an uproar.
However, their points of focus were all slightly different.
The Higher-ups of The Empire on the Homeland were naturally shocked and dissatisfied with the World Government's Decision to confiscate the Supreme Imperial Arm.
Why?
As for the reason given by the other party, in their eyes, it was simply unreasonable.
They hadn't even completed their Affiliation with the World Government yet. So even if His Majesty the Emperor almost destroyed the World, what did that have to do with the World Government?
We didn't ask you for help!
Especially after having just witnessed the world-destroying performance of the Supreme Imperial Arm with their own eyes, the Military and Political High Command of The Empire were naturally unwilling to let it be snatched away just like that.
However, these people didn't notice Regent Saul, who was standing at the very front of the Team, listening to their various complaints and curses.
At this moment, he was shaking his head helplessly, while muttering inwardly.
"Why else? Because they are Stronger than us. What's the use of being unwilling? We can only blame His Majesty himself for losing his Rationality and giving the other party this opportunity. Alas—"
Finally, Regent Saul let out a long sigh, causing the Civil and Military Officials in the Main Hall to gradually quiet down.
"Alright," he said in a deep voice after a moment. "His Majesty told this Official before departing that the Supreme Imperial Arm can only be controlled by someone with Royal Bloodline."
"So even if the World Government takes it, they won't be able to use it. It will have to be returned to us sooner or later, there's no need to rush."
"So that's how it is!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. Then, after looking at each other, they suddenly burst into laughter. The entire Atmosphere instantly changed from extreme anger to boundless joy.
"Hahahahahahahaha—"
No one said anything more, but this laughter, full of strong mockery and playful ridicule, was far more expressive than any words.
What can you do even if you take it?
You can't use it!
They could already envision the scene where the World Government would obediently send the Supreme Imperial Arm back, which was truly something to look forward to~~
Meanwhile, on the Sea Star Mainland, the Royalty and Nobility of the various large and small Kingdoms keenly noticed a strange Keywords in Saul's words.
Divine Oracle!
Why was it a Divine Oracle? Logically, the Orders of the Celestial Dragons were usually referred to as Holy Edicts.
Some speculated that perhaps it was the Personal Preference of this person named Saint Nerona, who simply liked to compare himself to a God?
Others speculated that this Lord Imu might hold a relatively High Rank Status among the Celestial Dragons, which is why he could not only use Divine Oracles but also travel between Otherworld on such a large Ship?
But since when could Celestial Dragons make decisions on behalf of the World Government?
The Content spoken by the Giant Tribe member who just claimed to be a Giant God Soldier. No matter how you looked at it, it should have been spoken by an Official of the World Government, right?
Each of these questions left these Royalty and Nobility completely baffled; it was simply too strange.
In the end, the same Doubt arose in everyone's Heart.
Who exactly is this Lord Imu?!
But how could they know that these questions were also what the Officials of the various Departments within the World Government Headquarters wanted to know?
This had even caused a considerable range of discussion. It wasn't until notifications were passed down layer by layer from their respective Superiors that they gradually calmed down.
But in fact, the Deans of the various Courts, the Ministers, and the Fleet Admirals of the various Military branches were still completely confused. How could such a Strong Combat Power exist among the Celestial Dragons?
"Let's wait. I believe the Five Elders won't take long to summon us and give us an explanation," Sengoku, sitting in the Fleet Admiral's Office, said in a deep voice to Kong, Zephyr, Tsuru, and Raimon on the other screens, while looking at the Noah's Ark on the Virtual Screen.
"Regardless, since it's a Combat Power of the Celestial Dragons, it's an ally, and it won't be a bad thing."
Kong, Zephyr, Raimon, and Tsuru all nodded silently upon hearing Sengoku's words. They were truly shocked by the Foundation displayed by the Celestial Dragons this time.
They had previously thought that the World Government's Strongest Combat Power was concentrated in the Military, as Garp and Newgate were already Admirals. But now, a being Stronger than both of them had appeared among the Celestial Dragons.
So, for a while, the few of them found it somewhat difficult to digest this overly abrupt Fact.
But no matter what, the Name Im had left a deep imprint on their Hearts.
The key question was whether this Celestial Dragon was the same person who had dealt with the Imperial Guardian Mech. If not, then it was nothing, just a High Rank Celestial Dragon. But if it was, it was quite thought-provoking.
On the other side, after Saul finished announcing Im's Divine Oracle, he paid no attention to the Gaze of Garp, Newgate, and the others. The three instantly turned into an Afterimage and disappeared without a trace.
This wasn't Speed, but a true instantaneous disappearance.
"That Technique again..." Garp thought to himself, narrowing his Gaze. He clearly connected the way these three Giant Tribe members left with the Situation they themselves had just experienced twice.
"It should be Space Transfer," Newgate said directly, voicing his thoughts. "Most likely, they are Devil Fruit Users of the Space System."
He had previously seen a user of the Paramecia System Time-Time Fruit Ability, namely Lady Toki, the wife of Kozuki Oden, so he was not surprised by the existence of a Space Fruit.
"His Majesty!" Several anxious shouts came from a Distance at this moment. Kuzan and the others subconsciously looked over and saw a group of Personnel from The Empire rushing towards them.
[Crackling—]
One golden-yellow Lightning bolt was the fastest. It reached Yomi Tsukahara, Sword Saint and Dean Isaac in the blink of an eye, holding the somewhat Dazed Imperial Emperor in his arms and examining him carefully.
"His Majesty! His Majesty!"
This person was none other than Bud, the only Great General remaining in The Empire. He completely disregarded the scrutinizing Gaze of the Top Experts around him. His stern and resolute Face was filled with anxiety as he repeatedly called out to the Imperial Emperor.
Such a loyal act earned him some Favor from certain people. It was just that his Strength was a bit weak...
Not long after, the people behind him also arrived successively. Akame, Kurome, and Gozuchi were among them, as well as some Members of the Imperial Guard Unit and Warriors from the Imperial Guard. They had all been urgently teleported from the Imperial Capital via Dimensional Array.
Previously, Bud, Akame, and the others had considered participating in this 'Communication'. However, the Emperor had refused, citing that nothing would happen with the Imperial Guardian Mech present, and even if something did happen, their presence wouldn't make a difference.
Now, the Fact proved that his words were both right and wrong.
"Hmm?"
Just then, everyone suddenly noticed that the surrounding Light became much brighter. The vast, sky-obscuring Shadow was gone, and the huge White Ship above their heads had also disappeared without a trace. This caused the countless Audience members who had been hoping to see Im himself to show disappointed expressions. It felt very much like the Deja Vu of a Divine Dragon only showing its head but not its tail.
At the same time, above a certain Sea Area about a hundred kilometers from the Sea Star Mainland, the Noah's Ark, like a giant beast in the Sky, instantly appeared.
As the huge Sky Gate opened again, the Earth's incredible Hull slowly retreated into the mysterious green Dimensional Space.
Zooming in further, one could see the Supreme Imperial Arm, the Imperial Guardian Mech, which everyone had been thinking about and which had returned to normal.
It was now quietly standing on the Deck behind the Noah's Ark.
