Kuzan's Mission for Promotion to Navy Admiral!

The Koreans in the "Great Cold Stick Country" are almost insane.

This notification from the Otherworld Strategy Committee was not only sent to the national leadership in written form.

They also announced it directly to the whole country via Visual Den Den Mushi) set up in the central areas of various cities, using 'virtual video'.

This left Great Stick Korea officials with no room to suppress the news, and also caused the Koreans to suffer the strongest psychological impact.

Just like that, suddenly, they became slaves of a conquered nation?

"Why?!"

A young student wearing a black school uniform and carrying a backpack stood in the central square of the capital and roared furiously at the 'virtual screen' in mid-air.

His name is Kim Seong-il, and he is a second-year high school student.

He initially admired and longed for the emergence of the World Government, and was determined to study hard, acquire enough knowledge, and then enter the 'Second Special Zone' to become a researcher at the 'Demon Slayer' branch of the 'Academy of Sciences'.

This would give you the opportunity to visit that world called Sea Star, or even immigrate there with your family.

But to his utter surprise, the World Government would destroy his country and turn everyone, including himself, into slave laborers.

What else could they be but slaves of a conquered nation?

For him, this was no less than a nuclear bomb exploding in his mind!

"Exactly! Why should we be allowed to destroy a nation!"

"What labor conscription? I'm not going!"

"Yes, I'm not going!"

"Damn World Government, get out of our world!"

Kim Seong-il's roar instantly ignited the anger of tens of thousands of men and women in the square. They gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and cursed the "notice of annihilation" on the "virtual screen" incessantly.

And this scene is playing out in various cities across the 'Great Cold Stick Country'.

Not only that.

Countless people took to the streets and spontaneously flocked to the administrative buildings of various cities to hold so-called street demonstrations, demanding that the country organize an army and prepare for a full-scale confrontation with the World Government.

The scale of the crowds was unprecedented, especially in the capital. It was as if the entire city had come out of their homes, with every main road and alleyway filled with dense crowds.

This moment.

Their extreme Wrath seemed to have made them forget the terror and power of the World Government.

However, while these ordinary people may have forgotten, the high-ranking officials of Stick Country remember it vividly, after all, it has only been a year since the World Government conquered the Demon Slayer World.

Inside a high-level meeting room in Stick Country, more than a dozen high-ranking military and political officials gathered together.

"Your Excellency, the Ministry of Defense has reported that the Mengma Empire and the Bear Country have blocked our borders connecting us to the mainland. Furthermore, our coastline has been surrounded by the fleet of the World Government's 'Second Special Zone'!"

Upon hearing the young official's words, the South Korean president's already stern expression turned even more ashen, and the other senior officials and generals were also furious.

"It's one thing for the World Government to have been prepared, but these damned Mongma and the Bear also came to kick us when we're down!"

"Now we're doomed, we have nowhere to run."

"So what do we do now?"

At this moment, a bald man in an expensive suit, sitting in the second seat to the left of the president, hesitated and said softly, "Do you think we could talk to the World Government?"

He is Li Wude, the head of the Li Family, the largest conglomerate in 'Great Cold Stick Country', and the chairman of 'Three-Stick Group'.

"Uh, what are we talking about?"

The South Korean president asked in confusion, and the other high-ranking military and political officials also turned their attention to him.

"Let's talk about whether we, the high-ranking officials and the powerful, can be given preferential treatment, such as being allowed to move to the 'Second Special Zone,' where we might have the opportunity to become citizens of the World Government."

Li Wude said expressionlessly.

"Um?!"

The president and the others were stunned for a moment, but a sense of hope immediately arose in their hearts, and their eyes began to flicker. Since resistance was impossible, perhaps they could try to join the World Government.

As for the terms, those are negotiable!

Their bargaining chip is the entire 'Great Cold Stick Country'; they wouldn't hesitate to give away all the country's wealth and technology.

"Cough cough!"

Finally, the South Korean president cleared his throat and calmly nodded.

"We can consider it."

Immediately, the others also realized what was happening.

"Yes, yes, yes, we can definitely talk about it!"

"That's right. All of us have less than a hundred immediate family members combined. The World Government will definitely agree to this so that we can cooperate properly!"

"That's right. As long as we are allowed to relocate to the 'Second Special Zone,' we will do our utmost to help the World Government stabilize the national situation and keep those people at the bottom obedient!"

As they talked, the group quieted down, but the cold glint in their eyes as they looked at each other was chilling.

They are prepared to sell out the entire country Wano Country, because they would rather lose their country than become slaves!

Soon.

These people sent a telegram to the World Government branch in the 'Second Special Zone' under the guise of national diplomacy; they simply didn't have any Den Den Mushi) like that.

"Heh, what a wishful thinker! These self-righteous, foolish 'Koreans'~~"

Addison crumpled the telegram in his hand into a ball with disdain and casually threw it into a nearby trash can. Then he turned his leather chair to face the large French windows, gazing wistfully at the azure sky in the direction of the Korean Peninsula.

He knew very well that the bigwigs on the Sea Star Homeworld were planning to take over the entire 'Great Cold Stick Country' and turn it into a much-needed labor force.

This isn't the first or second time World Government have done something like this.

Before long, all the 'sticks' will have to enter the 'Giant World' through the 'Medium Star Gate' and then start a new life on the other side of the 'Canberra Continent / Australia'.

That's a population of over ten million! Even after accounting for the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled, it would be enough to support the initial construction work!

"However, before the main force arrives, we can ask them to help quell the riots. Otherwise, if the chaos gets too big, it will definitely give the higher-ups a bad impression."

Minister Addison, realizing this, turned back and took out a blank document to write on.

He was planning to use ambiguous statements to make the South Korean presidents think he had agreed to their requests, and then ask them to first complete their own tasks.

If it's easy to do, the pay might be even better!

On this side of 'Giant World'.

Imu also saw the 'Otherworld Strategy Committee's' decision to destroy the 'Great Cold Stick Country'. To be honest, this had nothing to do with him; it was entirely a decision made by his subordinates.

However, he also knew that this process would inevitably trigger a great deal of riots and bloodshed.

After all, no matter where you are, there will always be people who dare to fight to the death. It is not surprising at all that there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of rebels among tens of millions of people.

"Oh? So you're going to have Aokiji lead the suppression?"

Imu immediately understood the Five Elders' idea: they were deliberately giving Kuzan one last wave of military merit, which would then naturally lead to his promotion to Navy Admiral.

He just felt that Kuzan, with his personality, wouldn't be able to handle such a ruthless task.

"Well, the conquest of Otherworld in the future will definitely become more and more brutal. It would be a good thing if this guy could realize that sooner rather than later," Imu thought to himself.

Besides, it's not like we're sending Kuzan to carry out some kind of massacre.

Sudden.

Imu inexplicably connected the dots. "Speaking of which, it's already 1500. Will that archaeological expedition from Ohara be back soon?"

"I wonder how many 'Poneglyph' locations they found for me."
