Chapter 678: Which One Can Alabasta Defeat?
"Hello, hello."
"A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you."
As the two sides came into contact, various greetings and introductions were naturally indispensable. The atmosphere in front of the Main Gate instantly became lively amidst laughter and cheerful voices.
Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.
It seemed as if they were truly full of confidence and anticipation for today's Meeting.
Although Coulson, Safray, and Adair's Rank within the World Government was not considered very high.
Neither the Emperor of Shen He, nor the Emperor of The Empire, nor even the vigorous and strong King of the 47th generation, dared to show the slightest contempt or neglect.
Soon, the pleasantries were finished.
Under the Live Broadcast photography of the Media Division Officials holding Video Den Den Mushi nearby, Coulson and the other two, each leading their Country's Team, walked into the interior of the building and then proceeded from different directions to the Second Floor Auditorium where the Meeting was to be held.
After all, the seating Position of each Country's representative in the Auditorium was different, so they naturally needed to enter through different Main Gates.
Otherwise, if everyone rushed in through one door and then tried to find their seats, it would definitely look quite chaotic and messy.
That would damage the image of the World Government as the host.
In The Empire's Team.
Including the Emperor, everyone quietly followed Coulson towards the approaching Auditorium Main Gate.
The Personnel standing on both sides of the wide Corridor were no longer the Army Officers of the Military, but Cipher Pol-1 Members wearing Black Suits, White Shirts, and Leather Boots.
They were expressionless, wore Earphones, and their expressions were even colder than the Army Officers outside.
Those calm Gazes sweeping over people would always make them feel uncomfortable and nervous involuntarily.
This kind of Aura was very familiar to Akame, who was holding the Imperial Arms 'Murasame' in the Team.
Assassin!
This made her instinctively feel wary, and the hand holding the Blade gradually tightened.
But the next second.
She felt several sharp Gazes cast over.
General Bols glanced at Akame, who was quite small compared to his own Body Size, and said in a low voice, "It will be alright."
"Okay."
Akame nodded, relaxing the Muscle in her hand.
Immediately after, she noticed that the Gazes that made her feel danger were also rapidly disappearing.
She stopped thinking about anything else and silently followed behind the Team, walking into the Auditorium Main Gate pushed open by two Attendants.
"..."
But the scene that followed caused their expressions to change drastically, and their footsteps inexplicably slowed down automatically.
Everyone, including General Bols, stared dumbfounded at the dense crowd surrounding the four sides of the Auditorium, sitting packed together, visually presenting a dark mass, yet making no sound except for Breathing Sounds.
They were Admirals wearing Suits of different colors, but draped in Coats of Justice of three colors: Black, White, and Blue.
Their Body Sizes varied greatly.
From two meters to two and a half meters, then to three meters, four meters, and even people five or six meters tall, with several twenty-meter-tall Giant Tribe Vice Admirals sitting behind them.
Their estimated number definitely reached a thousand!
This scene not only stunned The Empire's side on the spot.
The Teams from the Shenhe Island Nation and the Alchemy Kingdom, who entered through the other two Main Gates, had the exact same expressions and reactions.
At this moment, whether it was the Emperor, the Emperor, or even the Stigma Alchemist, Sword Saint, or Great General.
In front of these Admirals of the Three Forces who were sizing them up with various Gazes and whose Aura was so vast it made people feel physiologically suffocated, they seemed to be no different.
Yes.
Among the people present, the lowest Military Rank was Commodore, and they were Elite who were excellent in Combat Power within the Commodore Social Stratum after a period of Inspection.
It could be said that.
If you randomly pulled out a Commodore from these people, whether it was Bud or Yami Sword Saint, it would be difficult to defeat them easily.
At the same time.
In the area south of the center of the Auditorium, there was a two-tiered Stone platform covered with a Red Carpet. On the platform were placed more than a dozen wide chairs, on which sat three figures with extraordinary Aura.
The one sitting in the center had a firm Face, wore a Black Military Cap, a crimson Suit paired with a Black Coat, and sat with his arms crossed over his Chest, legs crossed, looking down.
Army Headquarters Admiral 'Akainu', Logia Mag-Mag Fruit Ability User, Sakazuki!
To his right.
With a lazy Expression, hands clasped in front of him, wearing a yellow checkered Suit paired with a Blue Coat, also sitting with legs crossed, placing his clean Leather Boots in everyone's Line of Sight.
He didn't look at the Teams of the Three Nations, but instead constantly surveyed the Environment of the Auditorium with the Gaze behind his Sunglasses.
Admiral (Air Force Headquarters) 'Kizaru', Logia Glint-Glint Fruit Ability User, Borsalino!
And to Sakazki's left.
A man with black curly hair wearing a Blue Shirt paired with a clean sleeveless outer garment and Suit pants, with his hands naturally placed in front of his crotch, calmly looked at the representative Team from The Empire.
It's worth mentioning that he wasn't sitting with his legs crossed...
Marine Headquarters Admiral 'Aokiji', Logia Ice-Ice Fruit Ability User, Kuzan!
Thus.
The Admirals of the Three Forces of the World Government Military had all arrived in this Imperial Arms World to witness their formal Affiliation Meeting and ceremony with the World Government.
Originally, some people in the upper echelons had hoped for more Admirals to come.
For example, Garp, Kaido, or even Newgate, but these people had just returned to the Sea Star Mainland and were not interested in such overly formal activities, so they directly refused the invitation and went their separate ways.
In the end, they could only gather this combination of one Admiral from each of the Three Forces...
On the other side.
Despite being very nervous and shocked, the representatives of the Three Nations still sat in their respective Zone Positions under the gaze of powerful Gazes.
At the same time.
The three High Officials of the World Government's political sphere sitting on the Rostrum in the center of the Auditorium exchanged glances and prepared to formally enter the Conversation stage.
They were...
Sitting on the left, Minister Molotov of the Foreign Affairs Department, under the Proclamation Government Institute of the World Government.
Sitting in the center, Vice Chairman Burwo Gabriel, Commanding Officer of Administration for the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
Sitting on the right, Minister Hector Ratlidge of the Ministry of Justice, under the Judiciary of the World Government.
"Please, the representatives of the three parties, come forward together to submit your Joint Organization Agreement Contract, to prove that the three parties will use this Organization as the main body to jointly conduct Affiliation Talks with the World Government."
Vice Chairman Burwo Gabriel said softly into the Den Den Mushi on the Tabletop which had an amplification Function.
As mentioned before.
The Empire, the Alchemy Kingdom, and the Shenhe Island Nation must first form a Joint Organization.
Because only in this way would their Scale and Value be qualified to Obtain a Seat in the Reverie held every four years after affiliating with the World Government.
Otherwise, if any one of them joined alone, they would at most Obtain the Qualification of an Affiliated Countries, and could forget about a Seat.
But the World Government wanted to give the Imperial Arms World a Seat, thereby setting a precedent for the Affiliation of Otherworld National Civilizations, and preparing for the Affiliation of Otherworld Civilizations in the future.
As for what to do with the Affiliated Countries on the Sea Star Mainland that were constantly being squeezed out of their Seats, they would deal with that later...
Actually.
The Strength of The Empire, Shen He, and Alchemy, these three Countries, was much stronger than those Affiliated Countries with Seats on the Sea Star Mainland.
Even a Great Nation like Alabasta, can you say which one it can defeat in a one-on-one fight?
But the World Government couldn't directly give them three Seats.
Choosing one of them was too difficult, as each Country had considerable Value.
So, it was better to let them unite into an Organization, and then take turns representing the Imperial Arms World to attend the subsequent Reveries...
