The Greatest Value of Kabane World!

While the World Government on Sea Star's side was busy, the Hinomoto Shogunate the Kabane World was also in an uproar, with a tense atmosphere permeating the air, making everyone feel uneasy.

Since Iwato Station, the 'last line of defense,' has fallen to the Kabane, will Kongokaku, the capital of the Shogunate, also be besieged by the Kabane in a few days?

Suddenly, the people in the city felt a sense of crisis they hadn't experienced in a long time!

"Has the intelligence been confirmed? It really is that guy Biba Amatori?"

The current Shogunate, Keisuke Amatori, sat in his shogun's seat, looking solemnly at the officials below, his eyes flashing with suspicion and uncertainty.

He knew all too well what his eldest son was capable of; to be honest, he couldn't help but be wary, and even he, as the father, felt a sense of dread.

"It's confirmed. The Communications Department received an urgent report from Iwato Station that the Hunters indeed guided the Kabane into the city and even sent men to block the station, shooting all civilians and soldiers who tried to escape, cutting off everyone's chance of survival. Now that area should be a dead zone, turned into Paradise for the Kabane."

The person who stepped forward to reply was none other than Ayame Yomogawa's uncle, Makino Michito, a high-ranking official who served as a 'Senior Councilor' in the Shogunate.

"What!"

"They actually fired at humans?!"

"This is outrageous! They must be severely punished!"

The officials and Samurai in the arena were furious and began to condemn the actions, but they all subconsciously ignored the fact that they had also caused the deaths of more than 400,000 soldiers ten years earlier.

"How are the purchased weapons doing? Have they all been put into storage?"

Keisuke Amatori calmed down and looked at the Administration Department the finance department, who respectfully replied, "The 20,000 muskets and 100 Large-caliber Cannon purchased from overseas have been put into storage."

In the Kabane World, the first choice for fighting the Kabane would definitely be the Steam Gun, even though it is much more expensive to manufacture than a firearm.

Artillery, on the other hand, was used for defending cities, and generally not so many were needed.

However, the fact that this Shogunate purchased such a large quantity of firearms and cannons shows that he had long been prepared to take action against his own son.

But now that Biba Amatori had made the first move, he felt like, "I wasn't even ready, and this little bastard attacked first!"

It was completely unexpected, truly unexpected.

"Then distribute them and begin setting up the artillery!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Administration Department quickly left. Just then, a low-ranking official rushed in from outside, brushed past him, and then quickly knelt on one knee and loudly reported to Keisuke Amatori.

"General, a message just came from Iwato Station. The current manager of Aragane Station, Ayame Yomogawa, reported that they have arrested Biba Amatori and the Hunters who lured the Kabane the city, but Iwato Station has completely fallen!"

"They are already en route to Kongokaku aboard the 'Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress' and have requested that the Shogunate take in their people!"

These words shocked everyone present. What had they just heard? Had Biba Amatori and the Hunters been dealt with?

Is this true?

"That Biba Amatori has been arrested!"

"Who is Ayame Yomogawa, and why does her name sound like a woman's?"

These high-ranking Samurai and officials, though unwilling to admit it, genuinely dared not engage the Hunters in direct combat in the open.

The title of Liberators wasn't just for show; it was earned through real battles and the deaths of countless Kabane!

The most shocked of all was Makino Michito. In his memory, his niece was still a little girl, and according to her age, she was only nineteen years old, right?

"Since that's the case, then let them come. This old man also wants to see what kind of person this Ayame Yomogawa is, that he could actually..."

At this point, Keisuke Amatori stopped talking. He was feeling very complicated and strange. Logically speaking, Biba Amatori's capture should have been a great thing.

But for some inexplicable reason, I just can't feel happy.

"Mima, you fool, you actually fell for a woman, you piece of trash!" the Shogunate thought angrily to himself, his face dark with rage.

In his view, his son was too outstanding; even if he were to lose, it should be because of him, and if he were to die, it should be because of his own execution.

"Snort!"

"Let's call it a day."

At the Star Gate Base in the Ashika Region, Fleet Admiral Raymond and Sakazuki had already returned to the Sea Star Homeworld through the Star Gate. After all, the Kabane World was only interested in the Kabane.

Meanwhile, the newly General Staff, Tsuru, chose to stay for a few days.

[Thump!]

Somewhere on the edge of the peninsula, a beautiful woman in a blue swimsuit easily leaped into the air about ten meters high, then plunged headfirst into the sea in a graceful arc.

A moment later, it reappeared from the water, tilting its head back and tossing its long, wet, dark blue hair, instantly captivating the two young women watching on the shore.

One of them had a stunning figure with short, golden hair and was carrying Coat of Justice; the other had a flat figure with long, jet-black hair and was carrying various clothes. Both of them had a beautiful heart emitting a soft blue light on their chests, and their pupils also shone with a bright blue light, making them look very eerie and terrifying.

"So beautiful, Sister Crane!"

'Blue Heart' gazed fascinated at the alluring body swimming freely in the sea. Ever since her evil thoughts were cleansed and she regained her consciousness and reason, she had developed a deep fascination and dependence on Crane.

"Please, aren't you only eighteen? Calling me 'sister' is inappropriate. You should call me 'sister' and then address Lord He as 'Lord He'!"

Horobi looked at this terrifyingly powerful little girl speechlessly. At first, she didn't dare to talk to her like that, but after getting to know her, she found that she was just an innocent little girl.

"Please, you're so much weaker than me, how can you be my older sister?"

'Blue Heart' turned her head with a puzzled expression. Horobi was speechless after being rebuked by these words. Her personality was actually quite gentle.

When I was with Mumei before, she was like a friendly older sister next door, but Mumei's personality is much better than this 'Blue Heart'.

So she didn't argue.

"Hey, what do you think of Lord Crane's world? I really want to see it~" 'Blue Heart' didn't realize that her words were a bit hurtful, and continued to watch Crane enjoying swimming with fascination.

"Is swimming really that fun? What if I can't swim?"

Upon hearing this, Horobi shook his head and advised, "For now, you shouldn't even think about going to that world called Sea Star. Didn't Senior Director Addison say that we 'Nue' are going to stay here to help lure and deal with the Kabane?"

Actually, she'd rather see Biba Amatori now, since she heard he went to Iwato Station to help the Army capture Kongokaku.

[Splash splash...

In the distance, on the sea, He was having a blast, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of the cool seawater caressing her skin.

When she was young, before she ate the Wash-Wash Fruit, her swimming skills were far superior to Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku; they even jokingly said she could rival mermaids.

"Ah, this is wonderful! So this is another world? It's amazing! There's even a vast ocean where ability users can swim freely!"

Watching the seawater slip through her fingers, the fifty-two-year-old crane smiled like a young girl. It was just a pity that no one except the two Kabaneri witnessed this moment.

It's said that men remain boys until death, but don't women also forever retain a girlish heart?

In Tsuru's view, compared to the Kabane, the greatest value of this world is that it proves that not all seawater will turn agile users into landlubbers.

Now I finally have a place where I can fully enjoy the joy of swimming.
