Report! The Enemy Has Only One Man!

Imu sat enthroned on the Empty Throne of the Ark atop the White-White Sea.

Those Golden Ripples pupils stared at the dozens of virtual screens projected into the air.

Stussy, Tesoro, Enel, and the Kuja Guard standing on both sides below the stage were also watching silently, and even the 'Giant God Soldier' outside had a screen in front of it.

Clearly, matters concerning Star Gate and Otherworld are no longer a secret on Noah, as there are personnel responsible for explaining and elaborating on them at Imu's behest.

As for how shocked they were when they found out, that's a well-worn topic, and there's no point in dwelling on it.

At the same time.

There are also the Five Elders within the Authority Room.

The Director of the Five Great Administrations of the World Government Headquarters and a number of ministerial and departmental level officials.

The "Steel Bone" Sora of the High Command, the Tsuru of the General Staff, the Zephyr of the Military Affairs Department, and the Rear Admiral and Army Headquarters of the Marine Headquarters who did not participate in the Vice Admiral.

Clearly, this first large-scale war of conquest against Otherworld has attracted the close attention of all the middle and high-ranking World Government.

It's a pity that not everyone at Sea Star could watch it together, as it was a landmark event.

Demon Slayer World.

Fujiyoshida City, the closest city to Mount Fuji, was also the first city to be hit by Super Sandstorm.

More than a month has passed, and although the air is still thick with sadness, people's attention has shifted to post-disaster reconstruction.

The vast ruins and sand everywhere await their cleanup, the rebuilding of beautiful houses, and their welcoming of a new life.

The people who had lived in this disaster-ridden island nation for thousands of years quickly adapted to this painful experience.

Looking around.

The young and strong men, dressed in simple kimonos, were either carrying wood, building houses with tools, or pushing carts to transport yellow sand, while the women were responsible for delivering water and food or helping out.

Carefree children roamed the streets in groups, their smiles suggesting they were completely unaware of the natural disaster that had just struck the area.

But their lively appearance brought smiles to the faces of busy adults, and from time to time, patrolling police officers would loudly remind the children to be careful.

Everything seemed full of hope, and everyone was living on with resilience.

But when the dazzling Flashy Flash drew a long golden beam of light across Mount Fuji, many people in the city were drawn to it in astonishment.

There's no way around it; this city is arguably the best place in all of Japan to view Mount Fuji. You can basically see it from any street you stand on.

Although it was daytime, the golden light that swept across the sky in a straight line was simply too dazzling.

Before anyone could scream, a large bird engulfed in bluish-yellow flames followed the meteor-like beam of light and flew towards the northern sky.

"Phoenix— Phoenix!!!"

Sure enough, screams erupted unsurprisingly, and the entire Fujiyoshida City was in an uproar. People forgot all about their work, and even the children who were playing were staring blankly with their mouths agape.

"His whole body was engulfed in flames, making him seem more like Phoenix."

A middle-aged man who was quite familiar with mythology muttered to himself as he stared intently at the streak of blue light that was rapidly disappearing into the horizon.

Just as everyone started discussing it, another blue Divine Dragon suddenly appeared, soaring upwards accompanied by a Flame Pterosaur. It then circled once above Mount Fuji and flew south!

"Azure Dragon!!"

Utterly dumbfounded, men, women, and children throughout the city began to doubt whether they were dreaming.

Or is it that mythology is about to revive?

Are Takamagahara and the gods about to descend upon the human world once more?

That wasn't all. As the billowing Black Mist and molten lava emitted a reddish light that seemed scorching hot to the naked eye, it shot into the sky at what appeared to be a slow but actually rapid ascent.

People were already kneeling on the ground in the streets and alleys.

"The Asama no Okami has descended!"

Is Mount Fuji about to erupt?

It turns out that they regarded Sakazuki as a symbolic god representing the deification of Mount Fuji, and the continuous, loud roar that followed was interpreted as a sign that the volcano was about to erupt.

This caused the atmosphere to quickly turn to panic, and some people began frantically running out of the city with their families.

After all, if Mount Fuji were to erupt, it would be no joke!

Chaos, utter chaos! The entire Fujiyoshida City was thrown into complete disarray, and no matter how the police officers, who still maintained their professional ethics, tried to keep order, it was to no avail.

At this moment, one after another, large, fully armed black armies, numbering in the tens of thousands, emerged from the edge of the Aokigahara Forest.

But at that moment, nobody noticed any of this.

It wasn't until the citizens who hadn't had time to escape realized that the 'Asama no Okami' had left and the thunderous noises had gradually subsided that some dared to run to the high ground to look towards Mount Fuji.

Now, the 'black rivers' that kept gushing out of the sea of trees finally came into the view of many people.

"What is that?"

For some reason, seeing this scene involuntarily stirred up fear in these people, and their pupils trembled and contracted involuntarily.

Tokyo side.

About Empress, the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff received a report from the lower levels, stating that at least tens of thousands of unidentified black-clad soldiers had suddenly appeared from Mount Fuji and that Fujiyoshida City had been occupied!

"Tens of thousands of armed troops, silently hidden in Aokigahara, what exactly is going on?"

The current Chief of Staff, Hasegawa, who holds the rank of Major General, is fifty-three years old. His rather aged but extremely serious face is fixed on Mount Fuji on the map.

"It couldn't be a foreign army, but what domestic force has the capability to do that?"

But he also knew that now was not the time to investigate, so he turned to the messenger beside him and ordered, "No matter what, Kōfu City will be the first to be hit!"

"Immediately order the 1st Division and 12th Division to defend Tokyo, and also order the 49th Infantry Regiment stationed in Kofu to deploy and hold out until the 10th Division arrives!"

"Yes!"

However, the Chief of Staff didn't know if he would make it in time, because he never expected things to go wrong in this way.

Yamanashi Prefecture, where Mount Fuji is located, is basically adjacent to Tokyo. Currently, there are few trucks transporting troops, so mobility mainly relies on cavalry.

Soon.

When the Nippon Emperor and his cabinet members learned of this, their first reaction was to exclaim that it was impossible!

But when a black and white photograph taken by someone appeared before their eyes, they fell silent.

"Furthermore, according to the latest report from Fujiyoshida City, although no images were taken, it is said that the entire city saw the Phoenix, the Azure Dragon, and the Asama no Okami appear from the Aokigahara Forest!"

Upon hearing this, three large golden question marks appeared above the heads of every high- Nippon.

Yamanashi Prefecture, Kōfu City!

[Waaaaah------]

At this moment, a piercing alarm had been sounded throughout this extremely prosperous metropolis.

In the suburbs outside the city, the 49th Infantry Regiment, directly under the 1st Division, also began to set up defensive positions.

Everywhere there were trenches hastily dug by engineers Kazuma. More than 3,500 Nippon soldiers, armed with bolt-action rifles, lay tensely in the pits, observing the front.

Further back, Type 41 Mountain Gun and thirty-six Type 38 Field Gun of the artillery regiment were ready, and a cavalry regiment was waiting nearby to launch an attack.

Given the pride of their 1st Division, they should have taken the initiative to engage, but intelligence indicated that the enemy had nearly 10,000 troops, so they decided to be cautious.

About two hours later, a crisp gunshot rang out in the distance, followed by several more shots.

Some veterans knew that it was probably the sentries they had sent out who had been shot down!

Sudden!

The soldiers in the trenches saw nine tall figures, clad in black overcoats and wielding Samurai swords, charging straight towards them, spaced dozens of meters apart.

They were running very fast, and a long black line gradually appeared behind them.

"Shoot them!"

Although it's unclear why those nine people were so foolish as to launch a suicidal charge, we can't just let them get away with it.

Some Nippon, even saw this as an opportunity to earn military merit, and squinted their eyes to aim their guns at the target.

[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]

Instantly, each target was hit by several bullets, but the nine people didn't even dodge and continued running at their speed.

Seconds later, no one was injured!

"Baka!"

The regimental commander was furious when he saw this. He assumed that all his soldiers had missed their target and cursed them as useless, saying that they had wasted all the bullets they had used for practice!

"Fire in unison! Fire in unison!"

With his roar, the soldiers in the pit pulled their triggers, and a dense hail of bullets poured out. There was no room to dodge, because four or five hundred meters ahead was an open, unobstructed plain.

But just as all the Nippon soldiers were waiting mockingly for the nine men who seemed to be traditional Samurai to fall to the ground with cries of pain, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Those men swung their Samurai swords, creating afterimages and sparks amidst the clanging sounds, but their footwork remained remarkably swift.

"Could it be that he, they... blocked the bullets with a knife?"

The regimental commander looked at his adjutant with surprise and doubt. The adjutant, his eyes already wide open, replied in shock, "It seems so, it is!"

Not to mention them, the trenches were filled with gasps of astonishment; the soldiers simply couldn't believe their eyes.

"Masaga, are all those legends about Samurai true?"

"Are Samurai really this strong?"

"Impossible!"

"If they're that strong, why would we need guns? We could just learn Swordsmanship!"

Regardless of their feelings, the nine figures draped in black coats and wielding Samurai swords had already closed to within a hundred meters.

This distance is sufficient to see their faces clearly.

"Wow!"

"They're so tall, Titans?"

To these Nippon soldiers, who averaged 1.6 meters tall, the nine Army Major, standing at two meters tall, were like Giants from mythology—even Westerners weren't that tall!

"No, wait, how can they be so fast? Four or five hundred meters, and it's only been a dozen seconds?!"

The regimental commander keenly noticed the Superman speed of these men and panicked. He roared, "What are you waiting for? Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Three loud shouts startled the entire regiment, and gunfire erupted. Countless bullets streaked through the air, sweeping across like a dense wall.

The Nippon soldiers were utterly terrified, and everyone started firing wildly.

However, this gun not only requires manual bolt-action after each shot and cannot fire in bursts, but it can also only load five bullets at a time, so its firepower is not actually that strong.

However, some people actually pulled the pins on their grenades and threw them out.

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

Although it was a wooden-handled grenade, its explosive power was quite good, with bursts of Huoguang and smoke exploding in the field. However, its actual effect was less than satisfactory.

The nine figures showed no intention of dodging, charging head-on through bullets with their blades, seemingly unaffected even by being hit at close range by grenades.

Even his black coat wasn't damaged at all; instead, it billowed up and down in the blast wind, adding to his imposing presence.

[Puff----]

In the blink of an eye, the first Army Lieutenant Colonel rushed into the trench, his Samurai sword stirring up a storm of blood. Each flash of the blade tore off the heads of Nippon soldiers in agony.

Following closely behind were the second Army Major and the third Army Lieutenant Colonel. Each of them was like a cold-blooded machine, carrying out a bloody massacre in their respective areas.

No amount of bullets or bayonets mattered to them; their unparalleled power swept through the enemy ranks as they charged forward, truly invincible!

These Army officers didn't even bother to use the Rokushiki; they just wildly swung their long swords, reaping lives wherever there were many people.

However, this also limited their killing efficiency; more than 3,500 people is not a small number.

But.

But the black torrent behind them roared in.

[Da da da da da]

The distinctive high-frequency gunshot of the automatic rifles that crushed this era is beyond description with words like "torrential rain," but rather "the howling of wind" or "hurricane"!

An entirely unexaggerated storm of metal swept over the 49th Infantry Regiment's lines.

The soldiers of the 49th Infantry Regiment the 1st Division were visibly being slaughtered and collapsing. They had no time to operate their bolt-action rifles, which were like sticks, completely useless.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Let the cavalry launch a surprise attack on their flank!"

The corps commander, positioned at the rear, roared hysterically, his orders relayed rapidly, and moments later, the familiar sound of artillery fire rang out from even further back.

Immediately following was a sharp whooshing sound overhead—the sound of artillery shells flying by!

The nine Army officers who noticed this scene, without exchanging any words with each other, transformed into streaks of afterimages and leaped into the air with remarkable coordination.

The next second.

A burst of Huoguang from exploding shells appeared in mid-air, and the enormous sound caused the regimental commander and others below to bend over in pain and cover their ears.

But compared to their ravaged ears, they could hardly believe what they were seeing.

"Are you kidding me?!"

It turned out that the lieutenant colonels and Major had put on a show for these Nippon, performing aerial maneuvers and slicing through artillery shells with their knives, before charging directly towards the distant artillery positions, giving them no chance to fire a second round of shelling.

After all, although the soldiers of the Sea Star World are much stronger than the people of this world, they can still be injured or even killed if they are hit by a shell.

Thirty minutes later.

In Tokyo, the Army General Staff bustling with activity and noise.

"Report!"

"Kofu has fallen! The 49th Infantry Regiment has been annihilated!"

Chief of Staff Hasegawa's face turned grim. He hadn't expected an entire elite regiment to be wiped out so quickly. Just as he was about to give an order, another extremely panicked report rang out.

"Report!"

"The 1st Division requests reinforcements; their base has been attacked!"

Chief of Staff Hasegawa was shocked. He stood up abruptly, placed his hands on the conference table, and asked loudly, "How is this possible? They're in Tokyo!"

Although Mount Fuji and Tokyo look close on a map, it would actually take quite a few days to walk there.

Did they secretly deploy troops in ambush in Tokyo?

How many enemy troops are there?

"Report! Division Commander Kigoshi says the enemy consists of only one person—a blond Titans wielding a long-handled sword who descended from the sky!"

"Ha?"
