Discovery of the New World's Armed Forces!
The story of 'Pluton' Silvers Rayleigh climbing the Red Line and breaking into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, where he was killed on the spot.
With the World Government's deliberate propaganda, the world's attention was briefly diverted from the news that "Mary Geoise is about to liberate slaves and will be broadcast live to the world."
But for ordinary people like them, it's just something to watch for fun.
After all, even the One Piece himself was executed by the Navy, so losing the 'Right Hand of the Pirate King' doesn't seem like a big deal.
So their discussion focused on why this 'Pluton' went to Mary Geoise to die.
In comparison, the news of Rayleigh's death had the most intense impact on the circles of powerful individuals around the world, especially those who had fought against him.
Chinjao, the contemporary pillar of the Happo Navy in the Kano Country.
Edward Newgate of the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World.
Former Navy Admiral Zephyr, who is currently receiving asthma treatment in the Drum Kingdom, and Douglas Bullet, who is training Army troops at Army Headquarters Randfirth on the Red Line, are among those present.
Oh, right, there's also Shanks, who's right there on Mary Geoise. The moment he saw the newspaper headline, he was completely stunned.
He certainly noticed the commotion that night.
At the time, I was wondering who was so audacious as to dare to cause such a ruckus in this place, but I never expected that person to be Mr. Rayleigh!
As for Shiki the Golden Lion, who is currently in prison, and Byndi World, who is frozen in ice, they will not know this news.
However, for Dragon, who was stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago, the biggest concern of this matter was the sudden disappearance of Shakky, the owner of the Rip-Off Bar.
There was nothing he could do; he was human too, and he needed to sleep and rest. In short, one night passed, and he was gone!
Afterwards, everything gradually returned to normal. Most people were more concerned about the live broadcast to the world Empress, since it was a truly rare event that the Celestial Dragons would decide to liberate all slaves.
Thus, in a world undergoing dramatic changes, Rayleigh's death caused a ripple that lasted only about a day.
Red Line.
In RL1556 District, on the other side of the Star Gate, in the world of the Kabane, everything is proceeding as usual.
Although large construction equipment could not be brought in, the barracks base built around the Star Gate became increasingly complete thanks to the efforts of a large number of skilled craftsmen.
Led by Dr. Fritz, the researchers at the Biochemical Research Institute worked day and night with great enthusiasm to study the Kabane and out.
In addition, a number of research scholars from the Materials Research Institute have joined the institute, whose director is actually Vegapunk, the president of the Academy of Sciences, who also serves as the director.
I heard that Vegapunk also wanted to come and see this New World after learning about it, but he had too many important projects on his plate.
In addition, having just eaten the Munch-Munch Fruit, it will take some time to research and develop it.
In particular, the mysterious metal known as 'Shape Memory Alloy' that the World Government revealed to him fascinated Vegapunk. He had a feeling that the appearance of this thing would have a huge impact on the entire world.
So, he's too busy to come!
But Vegapunk still suggested bringing back a few copies of 'Kabane's Heart Membrane'.
"Heh-ah----"
"Heh-oh-uh----"
As Laskey and Mat traveled westward along the newly discovered railway tracks at night, they unsurprisingly encountered a large number of 'Kabane'.
These Living Dead, with their eyes already blackened and pupils bright red, roared with hoarse, hungry voices as they lunged at the two newly emerged pieces of flesh and blood.
But Laskey and Matt were already used to their presence.
The former could casually flick its fingernail to unleash a burst of air-piercing force, instantly piercing their hearts, while the latter seemed more accustomed to using its long legs, encased in black stockings, to sweep its sharp, hard heels across the ground with ease, easily severing their heads.
They have discovered that these Living Dead have weaknesses beyond their glowing hearts: their heads. Once their heads are severed, they won't die quickly, but they will be unable to move and will simply fall to the ground, turning into a glowing, dark purple lump of flesh.
"These things are endless. Don't people in this world ever clean up their messes?" Matt said with a charming smile, smoothing her blonde bangs that had been ruffled by the night wind.
However, Laskey was clearly a cool guy who didn't understand romance, and continued walking along the tracks. She didn't mind; she was already used to his personality.
Normally, he would treat her to a glass of red wine or buy her some jewelry, but during missions, he would become extremely ruthless and cold, with no sense of humor whatsoever.
Laskey had told her that he didn't want to make a mistake that would prevent them from ever seeing their daughter on Guanhao Island again.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Laskey, who was walking ahead, raised his hand to signal a halt. Listening to the faint sounds carried by the night wind, he said, "There are gunshots ahead, but they're strange; they sound muffled."
"Finally found someone alive!" Mata exclaimed excitedly.
"Okay, go check it out, be careful to stay hidden."
"Good."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two disappeared from the spot with two whooshing sounds, turning into dark afterimages as they darted into the nearby woods, and then moved quickly along the direction of the railway tracks.
Sure enough, as the distance closed, even Mata could hear distinct bursts of gunfire, explosions, and the whirring of engines!
This made their eyes reveal an undisguised anticipation.
Finally, they are about to come into contact with human civilization in this world!
Emerging from the woods, they found themselves on a high hill. They immediately lay down to conceal themselves, while squinting to carefully observe the battle unfolding on the plain below.
Although it was late at night, the Huoguang from the explosions and the flames provided ample light for the two men from their perspective.
In the distance, a large, blurry black shadow could be seen, resembling a massive city wall and various buildings scattered within it. Clearly, they had found a human city!
The battle was taking place in a wide open space outside the city. A black train lay there like a giant beast lying on the ground, its armor facing this direction open, revealing the space inside.
One could see black-clad soldiers wearing half-masks resembling night vision goggles crouching beside what were clearly mortars, firing shells one after another. These were the ones providing so much light and noise to the entire battlefield.
Meanwhile, some people on motorcycles, carrying long-barreled guns with connecting tubes, leaped off the train and quickly traversed the battlefield, coordinating with the ground soldiers who fought entirely on foot, constantly firing accurately at the Living Dead around them.
While not every bullet hit a vital organ, most of them did indeed strike the Living Dead in the head and heart. Moreover, the two sides maintained a very close distance during the shooting, making it seem as if they were fighting with firearms.
"Is this the armed forces of this world?"
Suddenly, Mata pointed to a spot and exclaimed, "Look what he's doing!"
Laskey followed his partner's fair, delicate finger.
Sure enough, after a soldier pierced the heart of a Living Dead at close range, he knelt on the ground and then took something out and pressed it against his chest.
The next second, a loud explosion rang out, and the soldier, without hesitation, blew his own heart out!

Some people say my writing style has changed in these last few chapters? But as a new author, I wonder if my writing style in battle is the same as my usual style?
Garp usually has bubbles coming out of his nose, falls asleep frequently, eats senbei (rice crackers), and laughs a lot. Did he act like this when he fought Rocks and Roger?
When someone gets serious, their demeanor changes, and even the atmosphere around them shifts. Isn't that perfectly normal?
At least it's acceptable within the art style of Japanese anime.
