Army Admiral Candidate Sand Crocodile!

Ten thousand meters above the White-White Sea, Noah has returned from Birka Island to Elbess, which was originally the God Island and is now the Air Force Headquarters.

Imu was carefully reviewing the various documents sent by the Five Elders in his inner sanctuary.

The document you are holding now is the 'White Paper on the Subordinate Relationship between the World Government and the Demon Slayer World' drafted by the Otherworld Strategy Committee.

Those people below plan to convene a special "World Conference" a month later in the newly confirmed "Second Zone" of the Demon Slayer World, gathering all the heads of state of countries with a certain degree of influence in that world to sign this domineering document, which is to say it is an unequal treaty.

"These people are ruthless."

Imu couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the unreasonable and entirely one-sidedly profitable clauses on the document.

Take a look at the gist of this.

All countries are prohibited from owning or building warships. All existing warships will be confiscated but temporarily stored at their original Marine Base. They will be transferred to these bases in batches once the various Marine Base added to 'Second Zone' are gradually completed.

During this period, all countries have an obligation to ensure the normal operation of the bases and the good condition of warships and various equipment.

And this one too.

The World Government has the right to recruit any talent within the Demon Slayer World, and all countries have the obligation to safely escort them to 'Second Zone'.

"I see, so we'll turn Nippon into a directly controlled territory."

Imu discovered that besides the terms and conditions, there were also many explanations and descriptions, probably because the Otherworld Strategy Committee was worried that the Five Elders would have difficulty understanding them.

Numerous naval ports and Air Force bases were built on the periphery to research, manufacture, and berth various warships, submarines, and aircraft.

The interior houses the World Government branch responsible for administration, with offices located in Osaka, while the Imperial Palace in Tokyo serves as a temporary residence for future Celestial Dragons.

There are also branches of the Academy of Sciences used to attract and house the world's scientific talent.

Oh, I see.

This Otherworld Strategy Committee realized that more Otherworld personnel would be entering the Sea Star Homeworld in the future, so they prepared to set a series of requirements and conditions.

For example, the scientists in the Demon Slayer World need to continue their research at the Academy of Sciences branch in 'Second Zone' before they can 'advance' to the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences in the homeland after accumulating enough merit.

The same applies to other fields of talent, such as doctors, soldiers, economists, climatologists, and so on.

As the World Government's procedures and regulations in this regard become more and more comprehensive, it's conceivable that it will become increasingly difficult for people from Otherworld to travel to the Sea Star Homeworld.

"But with such shady terms, those countries will probably cause quite a stir again, hehe."

Imu could imagine that the Demon Slayer World would face no shortage of troubles, but he would leave those to the Five Elders to handle.

So far, they've done a pretty good job.

"Um?"

"Impel Down has applied to assign Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime to prison guard positions, and the Biochemical Research Institute has applied to allow Muzan Kibutsuji to participate in research projects as an intern researcher?"

Upon seeing this, Imu was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"What a Muzan Kibutsuji! He's a bit of a coward, but he's still worthy of being a 'BOSS' level character. How did he manage to survive in a place like Impel Down?"

And then there's Nakime.

The application report stated that Warden Columbus believed that Nakime, nicknamed "The City Demon," possessed the ability to alter the spatial layout of buildings and teleport objects or creatures within them using her Blood Demon Art.

If she could use this ability to assist herself or future Warden in controlling Impel Down, it would not only greatly improve work efficiency but also further increase the difficulty for prisoners to escape.

Imagine a prisoner who has just reached the first level above ground, only to be plunged back to the fourth level by the sound of a clear pipa. How utterly despairing that would be!

Certainly.

The Columbus Warden hadn't forgotten about controlling Nakime, so she would continue to wear the Pet Ring around her neck.

As for 'Slave King' Taklama, his shadow was cut off by Moonlight Moria long ago and stored next door at the Marine Headquarters along with the shadows of those heinous criminals.

As for Moonlight Moria, his people are still imprisoned in the 'Blazing Hell' where the Warden's office is located.

"Alright, let Muzan shine in Impel Down then."

Just as Imu was about to pick up his pen to annotate his comments, he saw that the Biochemical Research Institute had another report, but this time it wasn't an application, but an inquiry.

Question: Is it permissible to use Nezuko Kamado's demon blood to attempt to compensate for Muzan Kibutsuji weakness of being afraid of sunlight?

This question surprised him for a moment.

Keep watching.

It turns out that these "dark" scientists were curious about the "perfect creature" that Muzan Kibutsuji had mentioned.

Furthermore, they plan to develop a biochemical drug based on Muzan's Lineage Factor (genes) that would allow normal people to have the ability to quickly heal and regenerate their bodies, without requiring them to consume human blood.

Although Souei Wei from the Kabane World has discovered that the half-human, half- Kabane Kabaneri also possesses the self-healing ability to regenerate severed limbs, it still takes nearly two months even with sufficient 'nutrition'.

Not only is it 'too slow', but it also requires becoming Kabaneri.

If it weren't for Muzan Kibutsuji's appearance, Dr. Souei Wei's discovery would definitely have attracted great attention, but now it's somewhat of a double-edged sword.

Another issue is that the Kabane Virus thrives in high-temperature environments and can heat up surrounding liquids in no time.

This created great difficulties for the production of the medicine.

Therefore, led by Dean Fritz, Caesar, Queen, and other chemists set their sights on Muzan.

However, they were worried that with Muzan's current Lineage Factor, the potion he created would also make people afraid of light, so they thought of making him an existence that was not afraid of light first.

"This"

After reading it, Imu pondered for a moment.

"So what if Muzan isn't afraid of light anymore? If Moria cuts off his shadow, he'll still be afraid of light, won't he?"

"Moreover, it won't affect the genes. Add to that the Pet Ring around his neck, the presence of two top experts like Columbus and Magellan, and the nearby Marine Headquarters, and it seems like they can't possibly cause any trouble."

His main concern was that if there really was a gene serum that could quickly restore severed limbs, even if it wasn't Muzan effective as Muzan's, it would still be incredibly valuable.

In the end, he agreed to the plan.

"Oh~ Shall we bestow upon Crocodile the title of Army Admiral Candidate?"

Imu picked up another document, glanced at it, and chuckled, "That's right. Whether it was capturing Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime, or commanding 200,000 Army to occupy the entire country of Nippon, he deserves all the credit."

The key is strength.

Crocodile's morale has long since recovered, and as the size of his army grows, his aura becomes increasingly imposing.

This directly led to his Haki also rising steadily.

His mastery of the Sand-Sand Fruit is still inferior to that of him twenty-three years later in the original story.

"Alright, let's call him 'Sand Crocodile' then. There's no better name."
