Dragon and the Famous Police Stations!
Imu discovered that the matter of Dr. Kureha was not as simple as it seemed.
If he wants to confirm whether the small gold ring on his navel is Pure Gold, he first needs to get his hands on it and examine it. But how does he do that?
For an ordinary person, they would simply teleport there and 'take' it.
Kureha is now the dean of the Medical Academy, and her role and status in Sea Star medical field are basically equivalent to that of Vegapunk of the Academy of Sciences.
In this situation, even Imu would have to be careful and certainly wouldn't act recklessly.
Can I borrow it to take a look?
The question is, is Kureha willing to lend it? And if not, what can be done?
For a moment, Imu was also at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, he is already immortal and has no need for Pure Gold. However, Pure Gold definitely needs to be recycled, otherwise, if it were to be spread all over the world by someone, it would be a huge problem.
So the question comes full circle.
To find the 'Lantern Fish' that can devour islands, you need to put a piece of Pure Gold in the sea and use its light to attract it.
Imu originally thought he would have to wait at least twenty-three years for the 'little girl' inside the 'Pure Gold Lantern Fish' to World of the Living before he would have a chance.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn; it seemed that Dr. Kureha possessed...
On the Sabaody Archipelago side.
"What?!"
Dragon received a phone call that shocked him so much that his hand holding the receiver trembled slightly.
"You heard me right, the Revolutionary Army has been completely wiped out."
The Den Den Mushi sat upright on the desk, Imitation Magic the serious expression of the Chief Justice of the Judiciary, and spoke in a calm, deep voice.
"All high-ranking officers, including Shakky, Gaban, and former Roger Pirates members, along with all hidden bases across the major seas and over four thousand Revolutionary Army members, have perished. They are no longer a concern."
After hearing this, Dragon fell silent, remaining completely still until the communication ended, his gaze fixed on the wound on his arm.
He was somewhat intimidated by the power of the World Government.
Two days.
It had only been less than two days since he reported the Revolutionary Army's situation, and now he was being told they were gone?
[Knock knock knock.]
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, startling Dragon.
"Come in."
An inspector who was serving as his secretary walked in and said, "Minister, Ms. Stella, a government reporter from the Publicity Department, has arrived with a camera crew. She says she wants to interview Kyojuro Rengoku and the other people in the Demon Slayer World."
Dragon nodded; he knew about it.
"Yes, I've already been notified. Tell them to cooperate."
"Yes!"
The inspector, having received instructions, immediately went out to handle the matter.
Meanwhile, at the gate of the Public Security Division base.
A stunning blonde woman with flawless skin, wearing a black dress that accentuated her curves and elegant silver high heels, stood in front of the cameraman holding a Den Den Mushi (a type of Camera Den Den Mushi).
Her emerald green eyes, like those of an elf, and her captivating smile, like that of a goddess, drew admiring glances from viewers around the world, regardless of age or gender.
How beautiful, Miss Stella.
If someone were to create a beauty ranking list back in this era, Stella would definitely be number one, right?
"Dear viewers, it's been a long time! I'm your old friend, Stella!"
Stella gracefully took the receiver, looked into the Den Den Mushi's eyes, and greeted them.
Now she is a happy woman with a fulfilling love life and a successful career, which makes her exude confidence and cheerfulness.
It's hard to believe that just a few years ago she was a high-quality slave locked in a cage, waiting to be bought by a wealthy person.
"The place we've arrived at today is the headquarters of the Public Security Division in the Sabaody Archipelago!"
"The Public Security Division is a police department under the Ministry of Police of the World Government's Judiciary; they are responsible for managing all current and future Police Station."
"According to my inside information, the naval branches of various countries will gradually be transformed into Police Station, meaning that the security of the islands will be the responsibility of the police."
"No matter what trouble you encounter in the future, even if you have your things stolen, you can call the police for help!"
After hearing Stella's words, the people living in the various Affiliated Nation Satori.
They were just wondering what the Public Security Division was, and what the police were, when they realized it was just a rebranded naval branch!
In fact, some kingdoms located in the first half of the Grand Line already have Police Station, but due to time and manpower constraints, people in the Four Seas and other seas have never even heard of the police.
In their minds, local public security is generally managed by four types of people.
One type is the royal army, which is mainly responsible for maintaining order in the capital.
Another type is the sheriff. Some of them are appointed by the king and are responsible for towns outside the capital. Others are residents of independent islands that do not belong to any kingdom. They raise funds to hire some well-known experts to serve as sheriffs.
The third option is the navy. If there happens to be a naval branch on the island, then there's no need for the royal army or a sheriff.
However...
The navy generally only intervenes when One Piece land on the island to plunder.
As for internal conflicts among the people, such as fights, theft, and robbery, they are generally turned a blind eye and are not interfered with as long as no major trouble occurs.
The last type is the gang, which is especially prevalent in the West Blue. They even dare to fight to the death with the One Piece who come to plunder!
Overall, the security situation around the Sea Star World is actually quite bad, and many times when people encounter trouble, they really have no way to seek help.
So after learning about the basic work of the police, cheers of surprise erupted in many places before the live broadcast.
However, the presence of the police also caused dissatisfaction among another group of people.
First, there are the royal families of various countries, who feel this is a deprivation of their control over their citizens. And surely the police are acting according to the laws of the World Government?
If royalty or nobles commit crimes, are they also arrested?
Nonsense!
The sheriffs immediately realized they were about to lose their jobs, and the gangsters also realized their territory was about to be threatened.
But the most intense reaction came from the naval branch base commanders all over the Four Seas, who all tried to contact each other through connections. In particular, those colonels and lieutenant colonels who had acquaintances at the Marine Headquarters directly picked up Den Den Mushi) to communicate.
They wanted to know how long it would take for the Police Station to reach their area, and if the Police Station did arrive, would they have to return to headquarters?
Because the Fleet Admiral Sengoku did not issue a decree, they all received clear answers to these questions.
Yes.
For the Navy of the Four Seas Division, there are three main options.
First, change your clothes and become a police officer; you might not even need to move to a new location, but could directly take up a position at the local Police Station.
Second, he was transferred to Marine Headquarters.
Third, retire and go home to live as an ordinary citizen.
However, none of these three options pleased some of the branch base commanders who were used to being "local tyrants," causing them to curse and swear after hanging up the phone, and then start thinking about how to deal with the situation.
Regardless.
Stella's live interview, even before she entered the police base, has already stirred up another wave of public opinion storms in various sea areas.
Its popularity even surpassed that of the 'Myriad Worlds Top 100 Tournament'. After all, for most people, this competition is just for entertainment, and the same applies to Star Gate and the Otherworld at this stage.
But the widespread use of this Police Station is closely related to their lives.
Soon.
The Ministry of Police, Public Security Division, and Police Station became the most popular terms among the public, and Minister Dragon also began to be well-known.
He's famous!
