Noah.

Imu sat with his eyes closed on the golden and red Empty Throne, with the Purple Gold 'Enma' only half-drawn out lying across his lap. Purple aura surrounded him, and he exuded a powerful and oppressive Haki.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was exceptionally oppressive and solemn due to his presence alone. The Kuja Guard, who were on duty nearby, didn't even dare to breathe loudly in this environment.

For them, the pace of life in this Saint Nerona seems to have changed recently.

Previously, this gentleman often played tennis outside, watched Tesoro's song and dance performances, or enjoyed the cool water in the pool. But these days, he has changed his ways and often comes here to "close his eyes and relax".

That's not a problem in itself, but the other party's Haki aura from time to time gives people a sense of mental pressure and physical suffocation.

It was extremely uncomfortable, but they could only endure it.

Imu opened his eyes.

Without any visible movement of his hands, 'Enma's' blade automatically returned to its sheath, and the purple aura surrounding him quickly dissipated, but the sharp light in his eyes was like that of stars, which was then concealed after a moment.

He could feel his Haki, which had already shown a noticeable slight increase as his soul strengthened and his spirit was also enhanced.

It's difficult to explain Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

Let's take Observation Haki as an example. Before he entered Hell to train, his maximum range of perception, centered on the Holy Land of RL0000, Mary Geoise, could cover sixty-eight areas.

The diameter of the area was about fifty kilometers, but now the area has been increased by about half a region.

It was this visible improvement that sparked Imu's intense interest in training; the feeling of constantly getting stronger was truly addictive.

The bizarre and wonderful ghosts and monsters in Hell, in particular, constantly brought him a sense of novelty.

The pleasure it brought me surpassed that of tennis, singing, and dancing.

And also

At this moment Imu was still sitting, but his body slowly floated up into the air and straightened up in the process.

The Kuja Guard around him stared in astonishment as he stood in the air.

These female warriors had already witnessed his ability to fly, so they were only surprised that he suddenly took to the air.

But Imu himself knows that the flight before and the flight now are completely different things.

The previous principle was to generate a Formless mass under the feet by Emission Armament Haki, so it was more like walking than flying.

And now, with the enhancement of his Sixth Sense, he has Awakening a new superpower: true flight!

This Awakening appears to be random.

Otherwise, Imu would actually prefer the ability to teleport.

"Grown ups!"

Stussy entered the hall carrying neatly folded documents, her beautiful eyes looking at Imu, who was flying in the air, with a puzzled expression. The latter did not explain, but calmly sat back on the Empty Throne.

"Give it to me."

"Yes!"

Stussy stepped forward and stood quietly below the stage. With a thought, the document at the top of Imu floated over automatically and slowly opened in front of him.

"Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime have already been imprisoned in Impel Down? It seems that more and more Otherworld beings will be imprisoned there in the future."

He originally wanted to meet this 'Progenitor of Demons', but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he wouldn't have much to talk about. He had also considered bringing Nakime along.

After all, her teleportation ability could indeed bring her some convenience, and incidentally add some mystery to the interior of Noah.

But the thought of her face with only one eye filled him with disgust and unease, and he realized that she was a female ghost!

Having a female ghost following you around is somewhat unsettling.

So we should send her to the Biochemical Research Institute and see if those scientists with the word 'black' in their names can figure out a way to extract or replicate her 'Blood Demon Art'.

Oh, right!

At that moment, a memory flashed through Imu's mind: in the Demon Slayer World, there was a female demon named Tamayo who could develop various miraculous medicines using Chinese medicine and Muzan's blood.

For example, there are medicines that can turn ghosts back into humans, medicines that can suppress Blood Demon Art, and even medicines that can cause living beings to age rapidly.

This person is definitely a top talent in the Demon Slayer World.

He had completely overlooked her existence, only providing the World Government with information about Muzan Kibutsuji and the 'Twelve Kizuki'.

However, it should still be possible to save time.

The other party lives in Asakusa City. Although their residence is hidden in an illusion, it shouldn't be difficult to find them by sending someone skilled in Observation Haki.

With that in mind, Imu immediately took up his pen and wrote a note at the bottom of the document.

As he continued reading the documents related to the Demon Slayer World, he learned that the Demon Slayer Corps had agreed to join the World Government and was willing to settle down on the Sea Star Homeworld.

"Let me think. The Demon Slayer Corps' value lies in its Breathing Technique, Nichirin Blade, and various special physical attributes, including those of Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Amane Jingū."

"Regarding the Nichirin Blade, we must find out the origin of the raw materials for 'Scarlet Sand Iron' and 'Scarlet Ore.' The manga says it's a Sun Mountain that receives sunlight 24 hours a day, but putting aside Japan, does such a place really exist on Earth?"

Imu initially thought this concept was unreliable, since the world setting is on a relatively normal Earth.

"We can ask the swordsmiths in the Demon Slayer Corps about that. And that 'Blue Spider Lily,' if it really exists, it must be a rare and precious treasure."

Then he used the pen to add annotations to the document.

He has always felt that his main role in World Government consists of three points.

First, we have the strongest combat power as our most solid foundation; second, we use the transmigrators' precognitive abilities to uncover all the value in each otherworld; and third, we have control over the Star Gate.

As long as you do these things well, you will be worthy of the power and status you enjoy!

"And then there's Tanjiro and Nezuko, the 'main character' siblings."

"Tanjiro possesses an extraordinary sense of smell that can be described as a superpower. He can not only predict his opponent's movements through smell, but also distinguish the emotions of humans and demons, and even smell the opponent's weakness. He calls it the 'Scent of the Weak Point.' As long as he hits the target by following this line that only he can see, it will most likely result in a one-hit kill!"

This is outrageous!

The first ability to predict actions is equivalent to the basic effect of Observation Haki; the second ability to discern emotions is equivalent to Fujitora's advanced Observation Haki.

The most outrageous is the third ability; isn't that just a low-budget version of the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception'?

Tanjiro had previously been limited by his own strength and hadn't been able to maximize the use of the 'Scent of the Weak Point'.

However, if he were to be trained by the World Government and acquire the strength to control this ability, he could absolutely achieve the effect of 'killing one person with one strike'!

Then there's Tanjiro's "Sun Breathing," which he calls "Hinokami Kagura." This Swordsmanship, capable of unleashing a sunlight aura even stronger than that of the Nichirin Blade, is practically a deadly weapon against all dark creatures.

In addition, Tanjiro himself has a 'Mark', which greatly enhances his physical abilities when activated, and crucially, it can also resonate with those around him, giving them the 'Mark' as well.

Although this is not a good thing for the people in the Demon Slayer World, without sufficient physical strength to support them, it will only become a curse that drains their life force.

However, some professionally trained Sea Star Person could try it.

There's also the 'Transparent World,' a high-level Observation Haki that can be considered as having a built-in 'Byakugan' effect of seeing through things. In terms of value alone, it's far greater than Ikoma of Ikoma, the 'protagonist' of the Kabane World.

Nezuko's greatest value lies in the fact that, after becoming a demon, she is not afraid of sunlight, is Muzan Kibutsuji, and her blood may make Muzan Kibutsuji or other demons unafraid of sunlight.

With Muzan Kibutsuji's ability to regenerate infinitely without expending stamina, it would be truly terrifying if he didn't have sunlight as his greatest natural enemy.

However, Crocodile has proven that as long as there is a way to target Muzan's cells, it is possible to harm him even without sunlight.

"Let's settle the Demon Slayer Corps in Wano Country; the environment and style there should suit them."

"The Ubuyashiki and Jingū clans will be placed in the Flower Capital, and their swordsmen will be assigned to the Swordmaster Hall. The Nichirin Blade will be taken to Rabbit Bowl to be with the other Blade Craftsman. The Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, and his three ninja wives can simply Sea Ninja Village. They can also help train some Ninja Beast. However, his 'Tengu Gunpowder' formula must be submitted to the Academy of Sciences."

As Imu sorted through his thoughts, he wrote them down one by one on the document.

"Dragon has always been short-handed. If these Demon Slayer Corps Pillars are unwilling to join the military, it's fine to let them be police officers on the mainland. Anyway, the military doesn't need their numbers."

Finally, a question arose before him, causing him to hesitate.

"We're about to launch a major conquest of the Demon Slayer World. Shouldn't we announce the Sweet Commander Gate and the Otherworld world to the entire world?"

Logically speaking, a major event like waging a full-scale war against Otherworld, which involves all living beings on the Sea Star, should be known to and participated in by the whole world.

Only in this way can we truly say that we have gathered all our combat power, military strength, manpower, and resources.

After all, the World Government can only be said to represent the Sea Star, but it cannot be considered the Sea Star itself; there is still a certain difference between the two.

The problem is that once this is made public, the Affiliated Nation will inevitably become restless, with each having its own ideas and demands, and there may even be opponents.

That would only make the situation more chaotic.

"But this kind of thing can't be kept secret forever. Sooner or later, everyone will find out, and everyone has to find out."

Imu rested his right arm on the armrest of the throne, his chin on the back of his hand, lost in thought.

He suddenly realized that he had fallen into a cognitive trap.

I've always believed that the key factors in the World Government's stability of its homeland are Wano Country and Elbaf, two typical Land of Disobedience.

But now it seems the key lies with those 'compliant' countries that have already joined, because there are simply too many of them!

And.

The World Government doesn't have much control over these Affiliated Nation, mainly due to transportation issues between the islands.

In a world where sailing is the primary mode of navigation, each voyage can take anywhere from ten days to several months, and no matter what happens, it is difficult for them to respond in a timely manner.

"However, now that we have the 'Golden Lion,' we can rely on Flying Warship before the Sea Train appears."

Imu pondered for a moment.

"It's better to suffer sooner rather than later. Before encountering a truly powerful global opponent, we should indeed achieve internal unity first. Only in this way can we unite the 'strength' of the Sea Star and forge it into a solid 'fist'!"

In his view, the current World Government and Affiliated Nation are like a pile of loose sand, and their efficiency in operation is like flowing gravel. Although they seem to be well-coordinated and more than capable of dealing with opponents weaker than themselves, they are likely to collapse at the first sign of trouble if they encounter an opponent stronger than themselves.

Finally, Imu produced the Golden Den Den Mushi.

"Lord Imu, please give your orders!"

"Speed up the construction of Flying Warship. Once we have five hundred, we'll announce the Star Gate and the Otherworld to the world."

Topman Saint Topman Warcury, who was in Mary Geoise, was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood Imu's deeper meaning, and his eyes revealed excitement.

"Yes!"

"As you command!"

[Slap--]

As the Den Den Mushi's receiver was slammed down, a long silence fell over the Authority Room, as each of the Five Elders present pondered Imu's command.

"What does Your Excellency intend to do?"

"Has it finally come to this? I never imagined that the long-cherished wish of our ancestors from nine hundred years ago would be fulfilled in our generation!"

Marcus Saint Mars, who was in charge of history, stroked his beard with some tears in his eyes and sighed.

How long would it take to build 500 Flying Warship?

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro voice.

"If it's about adding levitation capabilities to warships, then with the 'Golden Lion's' capabilities, it won't take long. The main time will be spent assembling five hundred warships and installing control and power equipment."

Marcus Saint Mars, who is also in charge of the Academy of Sciences, provided the answer.

"The problem is that we can't move any more naval warships, since according to our previous decision, these warships were to be reassigned to the Air Force once they were able to fly."

"So you're going to build five hundred new warships?"

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro; that would take far too long. But Marcus Saint Mars said with a wry smile, "It's not just that problem."

"Have you forgotten those Ironclad Warship discovered in the Demon Slayer World? A few days ago, Sengoku suggested observing their Ironclad Warship in subsequent battles. If they are indeed good, then we should consider upgrading the Marine warship."

"Following this line of thinking, before we determine the role of Ironclad Warship, we cannot continue building the warships we have been doing before."

In the past, the navy used iron-clad wooden warships mainly because Ironclad Warship required too much metal resources, and Sea Star were quite scarce.

But things are different now. With the natural resources of the Kabane World and the Demon Slayer World, the Sea Star World can be said to have achieved a certain degree of resource freedom.

"Indeed, if Ironclad Warship are indeed superior to wooden ships, then of course we should choose the best. It seems we can only wait."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro could only accept this unfortunate reality. After all, as the supreme leader of the Three Armies, both the navy and the Air Force were under his command.

They silently discovered two major problems hindering the efficiency of World Government.

First, the size of the Star Gate; second, time itself.

And neither of these two things seems to be able to be changed.
