For the Sake of Power, He'd Give Everything!
Total cell count.
This term can be said to be a shared pain among Otherworld beings who have joined the World Government to this day.
Any Otherworld seeking power will feel the innate physical gap between themselves and most other Sea Star Person the longer they live on the Sea Star.
The remaining small group of Sea Star Person were far beyond their reach.
Most Sea Star Person have between 150 trillion and 200 trillion cells.
The total number of cells in the Kabane World, the Demon Slayer World, and the Giant World is roughly between 40 trillion and 60 trillion.
Therefore, the difference is very obvious.
Oh, right.
There are a few special cases who don't have this problem.
For example, Muzan Kibutsuji from "Demon Slayer World" is a "perfect being," while Mitsuri Kanroji, the "Love Hashira," is a "genius" whose "muscle density is eight times that of an ordinary person in Demon Slayer."
Muzan Kibutsuji.
As for Mitsuri Kanroji, her physique is considered exceptionally gifted even by the standards of Sea Star Person.
Eight times that of a normal person Demon Slayer, roughly twice that of a normal person who kills Sea Star.
If you want to find a reference point, it would be someone like the future 'East Blue Admiral' Krieg, the kind of person who can wear armor weighing over 100 kilograms and still wield a one-ton spear with incredible speed.
She's also a big eater; she can eat as much as she wants and never gain weight. Her appetite is comparable to that of three sumo wrestlers, and she can digest the nutrients in food at an extremely fast speed and with great efficiency.
This is equivalent to turning part of the function of 'Life Return' into one's own passive instinct.
Besides.
When she tenses her muscles, her body's defenses are strong enough to withstand ordinary sword attacks, which is equivalent to turning the 'Tekkai' into her passive instinct.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the person with the highest overall potential among these 'pillars' should be this seemingly sweet 'Love Hashira'.
Oh, right.
The 'Stone Hashira' Gyomei Himejima also has good physical talent, but it's not particularly outstanding among the Sea Star Person. His only advantage is his enhanced perception due to blindness.
To be honest, this person simply couldn't get over the hurdle of 'murder'.
He has applied for a transfer to the Military Affairs Department in Zephyr to become a full-fledged professional instructor.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, Kyojuro Rengoku, and Giyu Tomioka from the Navy have all adjusted their mindset and thoughts, and no longer think about the Demon Slayer Corps' rule against killing.
In a certain sea area in the latter half of the Grand Line, a colossal elephant standing 20,000 meters tall stood there, its thick trunk tilted back as it enjoyed the seaweed and fruit from the 'White-White Sea' and the Sky Island.
The 'Mokomo Dukedom' that was originally ten kilometers in diameter on its back has been transformed into an Air Force base centered around a vast airport.
The "Azure Dragon" Admiral of the Air Force Headquarters, also known as Kaido, is responsible for guarding this place.
Onigashima was too deserted, and it wasn't convenient to have a drink there, so he brought his adjutant, 'Jin', with him.
At this moment, in a high-end apartment building in the dormitory area of the base.
Hozumi, from the 'Kabane World', was sitting at his dressing table in his bedroom, chatting with Horobi at CIPHER POL headquarters using a regular Den Den Mushi.
Meanwhile, in the living room outside, Ikoma, who had taken a few days off, sat on the sofa watching a virtual screen as someone played an electric guitar and sang loudly into a microphone, performing 'Soul King'.
Ikoma actually prefers Gild Tesoro 'Tesoro performances and songs, but for some reason, he hasn't been seen on the Publicity Department's live broadcasts lately.
"What?"
"Sister Horobi, you're going to participate in that 'Combat Power Tournament' too!"
Inside the bedroom, Hozumi looked at the Den Den Mushi on the dressing table in surprise and said worriedly, "The rules for that audition seem dangerous. Maybe we shouldn't participate?"
The Den Den Mushi lowered its eyes, revealing the somewhat heavy mood of the person on the other end, who was trying to Horobi.
"I want to represent our Ancestral World to show the power of 'Nue' to the Sea Star and people from other worlds, and also to have a fair fight with Mima to settle our past."
Hozumi silent.
She knew that Horobi Sister had accepted Steve Captain Guts's advances, and she could also guess that Horobi Sister still had some lingering feelings for her brother.
It seems that Sister Horobi has now made up her mind to cut ties with these past events and embrace her new identity and new life.
"But if we're talking about demonstrating the power of 'Nue,' wouldn't you be more suited to it, brother?"
Hozumi asked, puzzled.
In her mind, Biba Amatori was also a 'Nue', and her strength was definitely stronger than that of Horobi, but she heard the latter purse his lips and say softly.
"Mima is no longer 'Nue'. Not long after he transferred from the General Staff to us, he used the excuse that the 'Kabaneri's' upper limit was too low to exchange for two doses of 'White Blood Plasma' to restore his normal body. Then he applied for 'Cell Total Enhancement Serum' to raise his physique to the level of Sea Star Person."
"I recently heard from Guts that after months of intensive training, he not only learned 'Serpent Breathing' and its accompanying Swordsmanship, but also mastered the 'Shave' and 'Rankyaku' techniques from the 'Rokushiki,' and even developed basic Armament Haki's Coating and Observation Haki."
"It's said that some people in CP-8 are already calling him a genius."
After hearing such a long account of Horobi, Hozumi covered his mouth in shock. Ikoma was in the living room, also looked astonished. In the end, the two of them both showed helpless expressions.
"My brother is really amazing no matter where he is!"
Hozumi's feelings for Biba Amatori were more complex than those for Horobi.
She knew that the other person had instilled some unhealthy ideas and thoughts in her, but he had also saved her, nurtured her, and taken good care of her in the years that followed.
As for becoming 'Kabaneri', it was something he requested voluntarily.
Although they were all just using me, how can I ignore the debt of gratitude I owe them for raising me?
So Hozumi still calls Biba Amatori "older brother," but they don't contact each other much anymore.
"And what about you, Sister Horobi?"
"Hehe, I'm not bad either. With the help of 'Nue' amplifying my Divine Power, I've mastered Observation Haki. As for Swordsmanship, I learned 'Mist Breathing' from Mr. Muichiro Tokito."
"It's because of physical limitations that I still can't master the 'Rokushiki' and 'Armament Haki'."
Finally, the Den Den Mushi let out a heavy sigh.
Hozumi looked puzzled again, blinking her beautiful Kohaku eyes. "Why not apply for a 'Cell Total Enhancement Serum'?"
"Because my merits are insufficient to exchange for it, and because of the high-temperature properties of the 'Kabane Virus,' we need to exchange for two 'White Blood Plasma' to restore our normal physical condition before we can use it, and then use 'Nue's' 'Black Blood Plasma' to turn back into 'Nue.'"
The Horobi looked utterly helpless; the process of putting out the fire would require a lot of merit points.
"Uh, okay."
Hozumi could only sigh; she could now understand why her brother had so many achievements.
After all, he not only participated in the World Government's conquest of the 'Ancestral World' (Kabane World), but also became the adjutant and staff officer of Vice Admiral 'Sand Crocodile' in the conquest of the 'Demon Slayer World', and participated in the mission against the 'Giant World'.
Furthermore, as the first person from Otherworld to join the World Government, he will certainly receive more support and attention.
Then he himself is talented and will do anything to gain power.
"It seems that my brother is determined to participate in this 'Combat Power Tournament'; he absolutely won't be satisfied until he gets into the Top 10."
