Chapter 767: Four Great Food Traps!
Inside the third floor Gravity Training Ground of the Star Pressure Palace.
Within the hazy purple space, a semi-circular blue space about five meters in diameter was enveloped. At the edges where the two spaces met, a faint, blurry trembling phenomenon could be seen.
This was because the Op-Op Fruit's domain was resisting the eighteen times gravity pouring down from outside under Im's will.
It was a pure contest between abilities, and also a form of strength training for the abilities themselves.
The next moment.
Four Flash Emitters moved rapidly along the tracks on the ceiling, continuously firing Golden Beams towards Im's position.
Although these beams had been adjusted so they wouldn't explode upon contact.
Their inherent ultra-high temperature and ultra-high speed were still enough to cause penetrating damage to the Human Body.
However.
This time, Im chose not to dodge, but stood steadily in place. At the same time, streaks of eerie green lightning suddenly appeared around him, meeting the incoming beams.
Immediately, the four golden Flash Beams and four green lightning beams collided repeatedly at different points within the purple space, generating bursts of Energy Explosions and deafening Loud Noises.
This caused the Ground of the Training Ground to crack in a spiderweb pattern.
Fortunately, under the eighteen times gravity environment, it was impossible for excessive Shockwaves to be generated, so it wouldn't affect the outside area. Otherwise, this Star Pressure Palace would already be in ruins.
Soon.
The Flash Emitters began to increase their firing frequency, and Im showed no weakness either.
For a time.
Inside the vast Gravity Training Ground, it became a group Battlefield of golden beams and green lightning.
Continuous energy clashes rose and fell, yet were firmly suppressed by the purple gravity, while the blue space resisted the full-scale pressure of the gravity.
And Im himself stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly observing with cold eyes.
This was the fighting style he preferred, rather than picking up Blades or swinging his fists and feet for close-quarters combat with others.
After all, he wasn't a true Sea Star Person, but a Transmigrator. Therefore, his Understanding of Combat wasn't like theirs, who always wanted to decide Victory or Defeat through head-on collisions.
This wasn't cowardice; it was purely Personal Preference, and preference would become Style.
So when he previously eliminated Rayleigh, who had trespassed into the Holy Land Mary Geoise, he used his self-created 'Sword Aura Group Attack' to slowly wear him down. Of course, it could also be called 'Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin' or something similar.
But if it were the former Im, if he had made a move, he would likely have killed him like a pure Swordsman, wielding a Long Sword.
As for these green lightning bolts now.
They were actually a variant Technique of 'Gamma Knife', called 'Gamma Ray'. Not only did they possess extremely strong Penetration Power, but they also had high killing power against Creature Cells.
In a sense, it was the nemesis of all Creature Physiques, including the so-called Perfect Being, Muzan Kibutsuji.
Because 'Gamma Ray' would cause Cells to die completely.
It could even penetrate the surface and directly sever internal organs and Muscles within the Human Body.
Finally, 'Gamma Ray' is a stream of gamma particles, essentially high-energy Electromagnetic Waves with a wavelength shorter than 0.1 angstroms, meaning it is also a type of Light.
Therefore, its Speed was comparable to Flash.
Since eating the Op-Op Fruit, Im had determined that its control over Gamma Ray was his Strongest killing Means.
Naturally, he focused on its Development and Training/Exercise.
For example, besides emitting 'Gamma Ray' in the form of Electro like this, he could also directly irradiate it in the form of Light Wave.
Anyone irradiated would be subjected to high-energy Radiation, and their fate would be miserable.
This was the importance of Knowledge and vision.
In the Canon, Trafalgar Law only treated it as a 'penetrating Short Sword' to stab people with.
While Im was silently cultivating to deal with future Strong enemies, the World and its affiliated Otherworlds were entering a period of rapid development under the Management of the World Government.
The Four Great Laws passed during two consecutive Reveries were making new progress and advancements every day under the busy work of a large number of Mid-to-Low Level Officials.
Namely:
The Law on the Complete Prohibition of Slave Trade and Complete Liberation of World Slaves, the Law on the Basic Living Conditions Guarantee System for All World Citizens.
The Law on the Reform of World Government Celestial Tribute Payment by Ratio, and the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
First, the Slave problem.
It wasn't that enacting relevant Laws would eliminate Slaves from the World.
The World was vast, and naturally there were many Nobility, and even Rich Merchants among the Civilian population, who still desired to be served by Slaves.
This created market demand, and naturally gave rise to Criminals who would take risks for Interests. These people, as long as they had a certain level of Combat power, could capture many people on the Sea and sell them as Slaves.
However, in recent years, the World Government's crackdown on Slave Trade has not diminished at all.
Because the man currently serving as the Minister of Police Affairs is named Monkey D. Dragon, and basically the main targets of his Police System are Slave Traders and Slave buyers.
This has led to Dragon and his three Division Chiefs gaining a reputation among the Civilian population that is not much smaller than that of the Military's Admirals.
These are Bartholomew Kuma, the Bureau Chief of the Public Security Bureau (Bureau Chief is Director Level), Charlotte Katakuri, the Bureau Chief of the Military Police Bureau, and 'Black Horse', the Bureau Chief of the Crime Investigation Bureau!
And the Experts of the Military Police Bureau have also become famous.
For example, Gaspardi, who ate the Special Paramecia Type Gummy-Gummy Fruit and is already a Deputy Bureau Chief, and Buck, who also ate the Special Paramecia Type Drunk-Drunk Fruit and is currently a Senior Police Superintendent.
There is also Charlotte Opera, another Special Paramecia Type Ability User. His Ability is the Cream-Cream Fruit. He is the Fifth Son of 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin and is also currently a Senior Police Superintendent.
These three, along with Charlotte Katakuri, have begun to be referred to by the outside world as the 'Four Great Food Traps'.
The word "Traps" reflects their characteristic as Police Officers who only capture people and don't kill, and it is also a homophone for the two characters in "Military Police".
In addition.
From the Public Security Bureau, there are Three-Legged Cat and Fishing Little Cat, who are known as 'Black Cat Police Sergeant' and 'White Cat Police Sergeant'.
These two are not only both Zoan Type Cat-Cat Fruit Ability Users, but are also both Senior Police Superintendents now. They often carry out Missions with Kamado Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, and others.
As for the Basic Living Conditions Guarantee System and the Heavenly Tribute Proportional Payment Reform, there is nothing much to say.
The former is steadily progressing and is warmly welcomed by countless Citizens wherever it goes. Although the Great Nations and rich nations are not very willing regarding the latter, the more numerous Small Countries and Poor Nations wholeheartedly Support it.
It is worth mentioning that, under the intentional or unintentional actions of the World Government.
More and more Small Countries and Poor Nations have applied to give up their National Status and want all their citizens to move to the Red Line to live as Directly Controlled Cities.
This also requires the World Government to allocate a portion of people to specifically establish a relevant Department to be responsible for this.
Fortunately, the appearance of the 'Star Spirit' liberated a large number of low-level Officials, which happened to provide arrangements for these people. Those with excellent political achievements will naturally be promoted.
As for the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
Although there were some controversies and uncooperative individuals in the middle, with the strong Support of the World Government, the implementation effect has been quite good.
Now, there are so many Devil Fruits in the Holy Land Treasury that they have to expand the area to store them.
The information on registered Ability Users fills book after book. All of this is strengthening the Foundation of the World Government in various aspects!
"Hmm?"
Just as Im returned to his Harem from the Star Pressure Palace, Stussy suddenly ran over and delivered News that made him Delightful.
"Lord Im, Saint Marcus Mars has reported that the Research and Development Team led by Director Tom at Water Seven has successfully manufactured the first Sea Train!"
