Chapter 811: Pirate Hokage!
World, Red Line.
The RL1557 Area is where the No.0002 Star Gate is located.
Since the World Government designated the Demon Slayer World as a 'Limited Open World', many non-official and Military vehicles and Personnel have started appearing here.
Every day, various vehicles carrying people or goods queue up to enter and exit the 'Shrinking Tunnel'.
They all belong to the Royal Merchant Fleets of the various Affiliated Countries, many of which have hired 'Top 100 Contestants' as Guards.
Although there isn't much danger in the Demon Slayer World itself, they must maintain a sufficient presence in front of those Otherworlders.
This is the pride of being Sea Star People.
Of course.
There are also Merchant Caravans formed by various countries from the Demon Slayer World, but they all operate together under the 'League of Nations' and are then picked up by People sent by the Ubuyashiki Family.
It's worth mentioning.
Currently, both the Chairman of the 'Demon Slayer International Alliance' and the Family Head of the Ubuyashiki Family are Muzan Kibutsuji.
He also partnered with the commercial company formed by Morgan William and his group from the East Blue, primarily using former Members of the 'Demon Slayer Corps', becoming a Big Shot active between the Demon Slayer World and the World.
His Influence/Power has already attracted the Attention of many Affiliated Countries.
Especially his Identity as the Chairman of the 'Demon Slayer International Alliance', which keeps him busy promoting his Plan to obtain a World Conference Seat.
In Muzan Kibutsuji's view, this is very Hope.
After all, both Breathing Styles and Nichirin Blades have now become indispensable Resources within the World Government, not to mention his own inherent Value.
Returning to the Star Gate side.
The entrance to the 'Shrinking Tunnel', which was originally supposed to allow Freedom of entry and exit, was currently guarded by a large Quantity of Army Soldiers, who ordered everyone to wait patiently on both sides of the Paths.
No one raised any objections to this Situation.
After all, it was clear at a glance that a World Government Team was heading to the Demon Slayer World, so they had to be given priority passage at such a Time.
So everyone just craned their necks, looking curiously into the distance, while simultaneously discussing their own Speculations.
The biggest possibility was a Military Troops.
After all, it was already nearing February, and this year's New Star Gate hadn't opened yet, so it was highly likely the World Government was preparing for the Conquest of a new Otherworld.
Although the official side had never announced the opening Time of the New Star Gate, everyone wasn't stupid; they could guess the approximate Time based on various pieces of Intelligence and Details.
It was just a bit late this year; in the past, the war always started in January.
[Swish swish swish swish...]
Not long after, everyone saw streaks of Black Afterimages approaching rapidly from a distance, accompanied by Whistling Sounds. Their Quantity was hard to calculate, but definitely over a hundred.
Above their heads, a mass of 'Dark Clouds' closely followed.
"Are those Crows?"
Those with good eyesight quickly recognized the Truth of the 'Dark Clouds'; they were actually formed by countless pitch-black Crows gathered together, and the Black Shadows darting below were their Masters.
The Ninja Unit of the Sea Ninja Village!
Each of these Ninjas wore a Black Battle Suit, with white Masks on their faces. Some of those in the front row also wore a black Alias over their upper bodies.
They wore Headbands on their foreheads imprinted with the Five-Circle Cross. On their backs, they either carried a Long Saber or a Long Bow, and small pouches containing Pills or Kunai were attached to their legs.
"So these are Ninjas, huh? They certainly have quite the Aura, but why does their running movement look so strange?"
A strong man who had ranked fifty-third in the previous 'Top 100 Combat Power Competition' said with his arms crossed, laughing as he watched the Ninjas flash past him and disappear into the tunnel.
"Indeed, swinging their arms backward while leaning their upper bodies forward... does doing that really make them run faster?"
Another young man who had ranked seventy-third asked with some Doubt, immediately answering himself, "Their Speed is quite fast."
He then began to Thought, wondering if he should also try imitating that movement.
After all the Ninjas had smoothly run into the 'Shrinking Tunnel', everyone waited for about ten more minutes before seeing the Army Soldiers leave under the leadership of a Major.
However, the discussion about the Ninjas didn't decrease but rather increased; everyone seemed full of interest in Ninjas.
One more thing.
Why would the World Government Mobilize so many Ninjas? Someone observant had roughly counted just now, and there were nearly two hundred Ninjas!
Imperial Arms World.
Inside Noah's Ark, Im was looking at the Academy of Science's Research Report on Wind Stone. He merely glanced over the overly Professional Data and explanations, his main focus being on the Result.
That is, was this Wind Stone useful to the World Government?
"So that's it. Wind Stone needs to be activated with Mental Power..."
According to the Content in the Report, Wind Stone, this Minerals containing Wind Attribute Magic Power, indeed possessed enormous Value.
Over in the Zero Magic World, both the Hanlin Academy Council of the Tristain Kingdom and the Nevarthes Elf Kingdom possessed the Technology to combine Wind Stone with Machinery.
For example, Wind Stone Elevators, Wind Stone Gates, and Wind Stone Airships.
Even the 'Hurricane Gun', which was still in the Experiment stage and used Wind Stone as Energy, was a Firearms that could shoot out a Whirlwind from its Muzzle.
However, these items were limited to use only by Mages, because only they could Mobilize their own Mental Power.
In other words.
In the Zero Magic World, a Civilian couldn't even make an elevator move...
That somewhat weakened the Utilization Value of Wind Stone. After all, even here on the World, not everyone knows Haki.
That's right.
According to the Academy of Science's Experiment, whether using Observation Haki to scan over the Wind Stone or Armament Haki to touch it, it could be activated.
This wasn't strange, as Haki itself originated from Willpower, and its external manifestation was Mental Power.
"In that case, this Wind Stone will be difficult to use on a large Scale among the Civilian..."
Im was deep in Thought.
From the World Government's perspective, this seemed like a good thing, but from the perspective of a Civilization, it was more harm than good.
He had originally Thought of using these Wind Stones to make the Style of the World's Cities full of a sci-fi feel – the kind of Screen Feed with flying cars everywhere, where even Houses floated in the air, shimmering with green light.
Before that, however, it would be better to equip every Airship with it first, to quickly free the Air Force from their Reliance on the Float-Float Fruit Ability.
Thinking this, Im placed the Report on the corner of the table.
There were actually many other things worth paying Attention to in the Zero Magic World, but since he had already made the Decision to open the sixth Star Gate the day after tomorrow, he could only put them aside for now.
Furthermore, with Kizaru stationed there, whether it was the rebirth of the 'Magic Progenitor' Brimir or the opening of Space Gates by other Otherworlds for invasion, he believed they could handle it.
The only Worry was that so-called God of the Void.
If Brimir could instantly destroy a Mountain Range with the Void Secret Technique, one could imagine how Strong the God of the Void who granted him this Strength was.
Only with Kizaru's Speed was there a possibility of surviving and escaping back if he encountered them.
"Ah, let's first focus our Attention on the Ninja World. The mysterious God of the Void might be Strong, but the Otsutsuki Clan is not easy to deal with either..."
Im leaned his back against the wide chair, his faint gaze looking at the Power Ceiling of the Study Room.
"Pirate and Hokage, are they finally going to face off?"
How many flame wars this topic had caused in his Previous Life! Now, it was about to be presented before him, and he might even need to personally participate.
"So, who will be my Opponent?"
The first stage of the Ninja World Arc's Content has come to an end. Next... the Ninja World Arc.
