When Bad Turns Good!

Who?

Who did Imu see that made him so surprised?

Laugh!

Great Swordsman, Paramecia Gravity Devil Fruit User, and in the original work, a future Navy Admiral named Fujitora!

"He actually took the initiative to show himself and want to join the World Government?"

Imu originally thought this person would remain in the wild for several more years before emerging, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient so soon. Well, in this way, all the famous "top combatants" from the "original work" have been gathered together.

"But isn't he blind yet?"

Looking at the photo of the sharp-eyed man in the document, Imu wondered, "His eyes are perfectly fine; won't that cause him to go blind?"

He remembered that some fans of One Piece believed that Issho was able to pull asteroids from outer space to act as meteorites because his blindness amplified the range of his Observation Haki.

Although he felt the idea was not very reliable, even though this was not Earth, Sea Star were still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the asteroid belt.

If it's true that Ichisho can locate asteroids using Observation Haki.

He could easily Scan any corner of the entire Sea Star, including the seabed tens of thousands of meters below, the Sky Island tens of thousands of meters above, and even the moon, all within his perception range.

If a skilled individual could achieve this level of Observation Haki by going blind, the World Government would have already established a dedicated force to train such 'super biological radars' to monitor the entire world.

In comparison.

Imu is more inclined to believe that I smiled because of the Press-Press Fruit's power.

Just like how Enel used the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to greatly increase the range of his Observation Haki.

However, since this text can render a Marine Vice Admiral unable to stand up with just a joke or a move, it seems that his strength was not greatly affected by his intact eyes.

The question now is who should be Yixiao's opponent.

According to the rules of the 'Paramount War Challenge', challengers need to defeat the current Admiral or remain undefeated within five days to be considered successful.

This current Admiral could be either Admiral of the Three Armies or an honorary Admiral; the choice depends on who Imu selects.

"Um?"

Imu then noticed that there was another sheet of paper underneath the document. When he took it out, he found that it contained information on the second challenger of the 'Paramount War'.

Aramaki!

Ryokugyu, who also serves as Navy Admiral in the original work, possesses the Logia Woods-Woods Fruit ability and is currently a Colonel at the Army Headquarters.

Unfortunately, when he joined the World Government, there was no "green channel" like the "Paramount War" or the "World Military Draft" that only considered combat strength.

"It seems they think a colonel is beneath him. But can active duty soldiers apply to participate in the 'Paramount War'?"

Imu recalled the relevant rules that the Five Elders had shown him before, and it seemed that there were no restrictions in this regard.

The main reason is that most people in the military are aware of their own capabilities.

Just like Bullet, who challenges Garp every year, he did not apply to challenge this year's 'Paramount War'.

Firstly, he was already Army Lieutenant General, and a candidate for Admiral. Secondly, he knew that he was no match for a true Admiral, such as Sengoku, Whitebeard, or Linlin.

Aramaki and Ikko, on the other hand, need to rely on the 'Paramount War' to quickly gain the status of general, or even the title of Admiral candidate.

"Then we'll have to choose two Admiral as their opponents."

To be honest, Imu was very interested in this.

He enjoyed watching scenes that wouldn't or didn't appear in the original story, and then looked at Stussy and said, "I remember the 'Paramount War' took place after the 'Combat Power Tournament,' right?"

"Yes, Imu Im."

"That's good. It seems I still have plenty of time to consider."

He really needs to think carefully about who would be the most interesting opponent for Fujitora and Ryokugyu, as this is a rare opportunity.

He then took the 'List of Candidates for Promotion from the Four Seas Selection' and glanced at it.

The reason he needed to look at this was to identify the talented individuals he was familiar with, and then have his subordinates focus on training and assigning them to specific roles based on their abilities.

Each sea area's preliminary rounds select one hundred people, so there are four hundred people on this list.

Not too much, not too little.

"Krieg Sig Arlong, what the hell is this?" Im thought to himself. "Oh, right, the 'Mountain Bandit King' is definitely someone."

"The Demon Slayer Corps ' 'Pillars, 'Biba Amatori, Muzan Kibutsuji, and Levi all seem to have passed smoothly, which is within expectations."

While there is some mystical element to it, these characters, who play a significant role in their respective worlds, do indeed possess stronger fortune compared to ordinary people.

There is no evidence to support this claim, but it is indeed an objective fact.

However, this doesn't mean they won't suffer calamities or death; it just means they'll be slightly luckier.

"Huh?"

Imu raised an eyebrow, because he saw several familiar names and photos on the list.

"Yasopp from the East Blue Region? Ben Benn Beckman from the North Blue Region?"

According to the information, the two are 25 and 28 years old respectively, which is indeed the prime of their lives, but their appearance is still a pleasant surprise.

One is a deadly sniper, and the other is one of the smartest candidates among the Sea Star, recognized by a certain creator god, and is also the so-called "first mate of the Royal Fleet" in the original work's "future".

Then what's there to consider? Just have Stussy bring a pen and draw a circle on it to indicate what to focus on.

"Which unit should Yasopp's sniping talent be placed in?"

"And Benn Beckman, we need to be even more careful in our arrangements, otherwise it would be a sinful waste of top talent."

Imu fell into deep thought for a moment.

"I've bleed the navy dry; shouldn't we send these two over to replenish their strength?"

After a moment, he felt that he could not make a decision on the arrangements for these two people immediately, so he turned his attention to the person who was ranked first on the entire list.

Because he is a Logia Fruit user, the Five Elders consider him to be their most important talent.

In Imu's mind, Benn Beckman and Yasopp were far more valuable than a Mumei Logia-type Logia user.

"Morgan William from the East Blue Region, Logia Steam-Steam Devil Fruit User."

"This ability has good potential for development; he should be able to create all sorts of clouds with his bare hands. He's a good candidate for the navy, it's just a pity he doesn't want to join the military."

Suddenly, Imu remembered that since Benn Beckman and Yasopp had chosen to participate in the 'Combat Power Tournament,' it meant they didn't want to join the army.

This is a bit worrying.

As a transmigrator, one would naturally hope that these top talents would be absorbed into the World Government, but the rules of the 'Combat Power Tournament' are there for all to see.

Although I am fully capable of breaking the rules, I don't want to do so unless absolutely necessary.

"Never mind, let's send someone to contact them and ask them first."

Imu sighed inwardly, then returned the list to Stussy. Looking at the final section, "Plan for Reforming the Next Preliminary Rounds," he was honestly a little puzzled as to why the format needed to be changed.

He only Satori after he finished reading it.

"So many people died? Indeed, the internal strife is too severe. The competition system has major problems and needs to be changed!"

Neither the World Government nor Imu has much experience in organizing a global competition, so there will definitely be many problems in this first edition.

But that's alright; everything is perfected step by step.

As for those who died this time, they can only blame their bad luck; what else could they do?

"However, those who are seriously injured must be saved with all our efforts, and all medical expenses must be waived. Even if they have severed limbs, we must help them grow back!"

In Imu's view, this event could not only save these unfortunate talents, but also be a publicity opportunity to enhance the positive image of the World Government in front of people from all walks of life.

Yes, have the Publicity Department send someone to film the whole thing!

In this way, a bad thing turned into a good thing.
