A Solution for Aqua Laguna
Seeing that the Mumei man had 'saved' Tanjiro, Imu sighed inwardly at the incredible connection between these 'protagonists'.
Ever since he transmigrated into the Sea Star World and became the biggest boss, he has been particularly interested in the darlings of this world, the creatures known as 'protagonists'.
But he dressed up a little too early; the Sea Star's 'protagonist' at this point might not even be a sperm.
To be honest.
Imu had a certain fondness for the Mumei little girl, after all, she was so cute, but not to the point of being obsessed with her or protecting her at every turn.
When he saw Mumei pierce the Hand Demon's neck with Jet Bullet and then casually behead him with a single stroke, he lost interest in watching any further.
Because he knew very well that there was nothing to see in what was to come.
Furthermore, it will take fifteen days for the new Nichirin Blade to be forged, which is no short time for the rapidly changing Sea Star World and the World Government.
Imu waved his hand again, summoning the 'Enma' from the sword rack not far away.
Ever since he went through his first journey to Hell and officially broke through the limits of his Haki that had lasted for hundreds of years, he made a plan.
That is, spending ten hours each day cultivating in Hell to enhance one's soul strength.
As a result, his life became somewhat isolated again.
But this feeling of getting stronger little by little every moment is truly fascinating. It's hard to imagine how Haki he will be a year from now if he continues at this pace.
In terms of combat strength alone.
Right now, I can probably take on three top-tier fighters without losing, but that might not be the case in the future.
Unless others also find a way to break through their limits, the gap between them and Garp, Whitebeard, will only widen.
Without Star Gate and Otherworld, it would certainly be beneficial to his rule over the Sea Star.
However, in order to enhance the overall combat power of the World Government in order to face increasingly stronger adversaries in the future, he will have to find ways to proactively improve their strength.
As for what method, it's unclear.
After all, there's only one 'Enma', and besides, Imu first needs to ensure that he maintains a sufficient 'safe distance' in terms of strength.
[Bass----]
The next second, the blade was half drawn out, and as wisps of purple energy overflowed from the blade and then spread from his hands to his entire body, Imu's eyes slowly closed.
This is what is known as Hell Soul Travel.
Three days later.
A strong wind blew, dark clouds gathered, and a heavy atmosphere suppressed the gloomy sea, where a massive storm was brewing amidst the roaring waves.
A Baymax ship, resembling a city, floated slowly above the black Cloud Sea, surrounded by a layer of semi-transparent air, pressing it down beneath it.
"Saint Nerona, we have arrived at the waters of Water Seven!"
Wearing a black dress, stockings, and high heels, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin, and a curvaceous figure, Stussy exudes an undeniably alluring charm, yet her serious makeup appears perfectly natural.
Every time Imu looks at her, he does find it pleasing to the eye, and her qualities and abilities are quite outstanding.
That's why he liked to keep her by his side; she was an excellent secretary.
"Um."
Imu nodded.
He chose this place as the first stop of the first half of his journey on the Grand Line. Firstly, the city of Water 7 was indeed beautiful; secondly, he wanted to see the progress of the Sea Train project with his own eyes; and thirdly, he wanted to chat with the shipwright Tom as Celestial Dragons.
"However, the technicians responsible for monitoring the climate advised against descending for the time being, because unfortunately, Water Seven is currently facing its annual 'Aqua Laguna'."
After listening to Stussy's report, Imu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "How could he be so 'lucky' to have run into someone like this?"
The so-called 'Aqua Laguna' is a super tsunami that can submerge two-thirds of the city of Water Seven. Because it is in the Grand Line, there is no accurate or regular time when it will occur. It is only known from experience that it will definitely happen once a year.
Fortunately, it will be accompanied by a severe storm before it arrives.
Therefore, based on the signs of the strong southerly winds known as 'Karoku' that preceded the massive storm, the residents chose to leave by boat in advance or go to the upper-level shelters to wait.
Certainly.
This can only guarantee the safety of most people; damage to buildings and houses in the lower levels is inevitable, even if they take various sealing and waterproofing measures in advance.
Therefore, each appearance of the 'Aqua Laguna' caused tension, fear, and helplessness throughout the city.
"Have someone relay the situation below to me."
Given this situation, Imu naturally wanted to see just how powerful this thing really was.
"Yes!"
Stussy bowed respectfully to receive the order, then turned and left with elegant cat-like steps.
Soon.
A Flying Warship emerged from the cabin of Noah, then plunged into the dark clouds, and then passed through them to the sky below.
At the same time, the live footage they had captured in the wind appeared on the virtual screen in front of Imu, and Stussy returned to his side, quietly waiting for orders.
In the scene, the Water Seven on a dark and vast sea, like Titans shivering in the wind and Uta under dark clouds.
The increasingly turbulent waves on the sea surface continued to pound against the 'Titans's' body, making it look all alone.
"That white area is the future Sea Train manufacturing plant, the Sea Train hub station, and the current Sea Train R&D Base, right? Is it really that big?"
Imu observed the 'Titans' and thought to himself, "It's probably around its left foot."
He had originally wanted to ask Tom, Gairam, Iceburg, Flam, and the others if they had been settled, but then he thought that his subordinates could handle such a small matter.
The Five Elders were well aware of the value of the Sea Train to the World Government and even to the entire Sea Star.
Time passed relentlessly amidst the Tornado winds, and the torrential rain enveloping the 'Titans' grew ever heavier, but none of this posed a threat to it.
Even if this torrential rain lasts for ten days and ten nights, with the Water Seven's almost perfect drainage system, no amount of rain can cause any harm.
The key point is the tsunami that has already begun to take shape on the other side of the horizon!
As Imu watched the surging waves on the screen, rising rapidly in height at a visible speed, he considered whether he should intervene and smash them to pieces.
Although the scale of this super tsunami would have been enough to turn a coastal Dadu into Atlantis in my previous life.
However, in the original timeline, even Luffy and Zoro from two years ago were able to work together to create a tunnel in the belly of the "Aqua Laguna".
It helped the dozens of meters long Sea Train pass through from the inside, without touching a single drop of seawater.
With his strength, dealing with it shouldn't take him much effort.
Imu seemed to hesitate, and even when the 'Aqua Laguna' were fully transformed and crashed heavily into Water Seven, he showed no intention of taking action himself.
He felt that he could only help them solve the problem once at most, and what about next year? It would only be a temporary fix, not a permanent solution, and therefore meaningless.
It would be better to let the lower-level government departments accumulate experience in protecting against the 'Aqua Laguna' and thus better reduce its damage to the Sea Train R&D Base.
Even if there are some losses in the process, they are the 'tuition fees' they have to pay, or they want to find a way to solve the problem once and for all.
Looking at Water Seven, ravaged by the super tsunami, Imu fell into deep thought again. After a long while, he stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
"I remember that Fish-Man Island's Air Storage can create double-layered bubbles large enough to cover a city. Since this thing can withstand water pressure at 10,000 meters, it should be able to defend against this tsunami, right?"
Imu's somewhat immature idea is to replicate or modify a Gas Storage suitable for Water Seven.
"We could have someone contact Fish-Man Island to ask. They should have plenty of information and technical personnel there, since this thing definitely needs repairs."
