Demon Slayer World Nippon.

Ten days have passed since the Army marched out of Aokigahara and CIPHER POL attacked the Capitol, the military, the Metropolitan Police Department, and other institutions.

During this period, the whole country was in chaos, and it seemed that gunfire could be heard in every county and city.

Just when many Nippon thought the war would last a long time, around the sixth day, everything seemed to calm down.

Only a few sporadic gunshots could prove that something serious had indeed happened.

This day.

Large numbers of the Army soldiers dressed in black uniforms, carrying matching black automatic rifles, marched through the streets and alleys of major cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe, Nara. The sound of their combat boots pounding the ground was so awe-inspiring.

They knocked on doors, leading the panicked residents like chickens and ducks to the city squares or wide streets.

The whole process took a full six hours, which isn't particularly long, mainly because the residents were quite cooperative.

Although from time to time, some people, unaware of what they're imagining, either kneel down and kowtow frantically, or hug their children and wail for mercy.

Honestly, this scene puzzled many Army soldiers. It's just a simple outing, why are you so afraid?

But they didn't ask any more questions, because Vice Admiral Crocodile had already issued an order strictly prohibiting soldiers from communicating with any Otherworld beings without authorization, so they could only urge them on with expressionless faces.

For example, you could kick them or hit them with the butt of a gun, anything to make these Nippon move forward.

Most of the Nippon people, faced with these fully armed 'Titans Divine Soldier' who were nearly 1.8 meters tall, simply Earth Flow numbly into the streets and became a small black dot in the 'black tide'.

Unfortunately, the average height of Nippon people in this era is only 1.6 meters, and people who are 1.5 meters tall are also very common.

Only Europeans and Americans can reach a height of 1.7 meters or more.

"Vice Admiral, all preparations are complete. We plan to begin the live broadcast in fifteen minutes."

Unbeknownst to anyone, Crocodile had personally arrived at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. He was currently standing in the main hall of the Meiji Imperial Palace, listening to Biba Amatori's report.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Crocodile, cigar in mouth, nodded casually, then squinted at the Emperor sitting on the throne, completely ignoring the trembling Empress beside him.

"You'd better not cause any problems, otherwise you won't need to go back to Impel Down. I'll find a place in this world to bury you."

"Hehehe, don't worry, Lieutenant Vice Admiral, I can recite this manuscript from memory!"

Upon hearing Crocodile's warning, the 'Emperor' immediately put on a respectful smile, his attitude appearing very humble.

At the same time.

Outside the Imperial Palace, the main thoroughfares of Tokyo were already packed with people, and two or three Army soldiers stood on the rooftops of every building, scanning the area below.

There weren't actually many people, but the Nippon below didn't dare to put up the slightest resistance.

Because they already knew that all the First-Class Division, Class B divisions, and Police Force had been completely wiped out, with only a few small units managing to escape and hiding in the deep mountains and forests playing some kind of guerrilla warfare.

"Wow----"

Suddenly, a gasp and gasps rang out from the front of the crowd and spread rapidly in all directions.

This scene is also unfolding in cities across the country.

What is that?

"Miracle"

"My God, those people up there look like His Emperor the Emperor and His Highness the Empress!"

"What do you mean 'looks like'? Well then, as a Tokyo native, you didn't even remember the faces of those two gentlemen?"

Because the entire imperial family receives the public at the Chowaden Hall every New Year, the appearance of the Emperor and Empress is not actually a mystery.

But what shocked these people wasn't that; it was the enormous screens floating overhead!

Turn out to be.

Army soldiers activated Visual Den Den Mushi) around the Imperial Palace, in the centers of major cities, and along every main road, adjusting the projected screen size to its maximum.

Each one is a standard 300-square-meter large screen, and crucially, it's high-definition enough.

In an era before even black and white televisions existed, this was truly a miracle, which made the Nippon people even more convinced that those Army soldiers came from the Divine Realm!

At this moment.

On the large screen, the 123rd Emperor of Nippon, Taishō Emperor, rose from his throne and slowly addressed all the people of Nippon.

"I have been on the Amaterasu Omikami, but over the centuries we have long since become ordinary people, having abandoned Takamagahara for many years. Fortunately, the World Government of Blue Star has descended upon our country."

The lengthy edict was transmitted to every corner of Nippon via countless Visual Den Den Mushi).

All the Nippon people stood frozen in place, staring and listening in disbelief, as if their souls and spirits had been struck by some Formless force.

What? Takamagahara doesn't want us anymore?

No, that's not the point. The point is, Takamagahara really exist?

Besides.

The World Government of Blue Star. So these ridiculously tall, jet-black warriors are actually from another world—no, wait, gods?

Compared to the Nippon citizens, the ministers in the various foreign embassies seemed to have just Satori.

So this is a religious force. No wonder they claimed to be at war with the whole world. Now I understand. Are they preparing for another modern-day 'Crusade'?

It must have been those advanced, high-firing firearms that gave these fanatics enough confidence to believe they could be invincible with them.

As for its towering size, it's probably some kind of evil drug, and the side effects are likely quite severe.

Meanwhile, the Emperor's speech was also drawing to a close.

"I hereby solemnly declare that the Emperor abdicates, the Imperial Family is dissolved, the Kingdom of Japan is destroyed, and all its ruling power is handed over to the World Government. I have high hopes that we may all witness the world's peace and prosperity and enjoy the blessings of God!"

After speaking, the Emperor bowed three times to everyone, and then left the scene with the Empress.

"No!!"

"His Emperor the Emperor!!"

In Setsuna, a series of shrill screams rang out from the dense crowd, as a large number of middle-aged and elderly people knelt on the ground, sobbing and wailing uncontrollably.

The younger men and women looked at each other blankly, unsure of what to do.

So they're no longer Japanese?

The ambassadors from various countries were also troubled. What should they call this country from now on? The World Government? What a joke! Who would agree with that?

Just then, another person walked out from the big screen.

As soon as this person appeared, the noise from all directions gradually quieted down. The person was wearing a yellow suit and a black overcoat draped over his shoulders.

He had slicked-back hair, squinty eyes, and a thick, long cigar clenched between his teeth in a wide grin.

The key is height; it's definitely over two meters, probably close to three meters!

"I am Crocodile, Vice Admiral at the World Government Army Headquarters, and also the highest-ranking officer in charge of the World Army."

"I hereby announce that the Nippon is renamed 'World Government Directly Subordinate No. 0002 Demon Slayer World Special Region'."

"If you think it's too long, you can call yourselves 'Zone 2 People' or 'Demon Slayer People' from now on, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha--"

Instantly, his signature, panting laughter swept through the major cities like a Formless tsunami.

A huge thank you to the Time Will Give Me the Answer helmsman for the 1500 Qidian Coin reward! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
