'Star Gate' Ranks Above 'Door-Door'!

"Is Xiao wants to stay at Marine Headquarters?"

On the Empty Throne inside Noah, Imu looked at the report in his hand, written by Sengoku himself and delivered by the Five Elders, with considerable surprise.

However, after reading Issho's thoughts, he understood and thought to himself, "Indeed, this is very 'Fujitora'."

As the most praised Navy Admiral by fans in his previous life, wasn't it precisely because he possessed such benevolence and virtue?

It is indeed hard to imagine that someone like Yixiao would participate in an invasion war against other worlds.

"Alright, we shouldn't push this kind of person too hard. Doing so will only create all sorts of problems, and in the end, a good thing will turn into a bad thing."

After a moment's consideration, Imu agreed.

In his mind, the navy and Air Force would eventually become one family.

After Issho finishes the 'Paramount War Challenge', he will stay at Marine Headquarters to be responsible for the defense of the Sea Star Homeworld, while also making use of the Press-Press Fruit's abilities in other areas.

Let's think about what the Press-Press Fruit can do.

First, leave asteroids in space to fall as meteorites; second, create a gravitational field to press people to the ground or crush objects; third, use a reverse gravitational field to make objects fly.

Imu thought to himself that no matter how you looked at it, it seemed more suitable for the Air Force.

However, he continued to ponder. As a transmigrator, he couldn't possibly lose in terms of imagination; he just needed to recall similar abilities from other fantasy works.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that gravity-based moves are all pretty much the same, generally either area-of-effect suppression or single-target suppression.

"I wonder if Ikki could Imitation Magic Pain's 'Heavenly Path Chibaku Tensei'. This move seems to rely more on gravity."

Imu knew that although gravity was generated by attraction, gravity could not be equated with attraction, so he was not sure if Issho could develop attraction-based techniques using the Press-Press Fruit.

However, we can write it down first and let him try to study it.

Just as he was writing his opinion at the bottom of the application report with the luxurious pen in his hand, a sudden flash of inspiration made his eyes light up.

"That's right!"

"Gravity can be used for cultivation!"

But at that moment, Stussy, wearing high heels and swaying her slender figure, strode excitedly along the long red carpet into the hall.

In her left palm, she held a small model made entirely of gold. It had two small openings at the front and back, but the middle section was very narrow, somewhat like a flattened hourglass.

"Lord Imu, the experiment you instructed me to try earlier was a success!"

"Um?"

Imu was initially annoyed that his train of thought had been interrupted, but upon hearing her words and seeing what she was holding, a hopeful smile appeared on his face.

I hope you won't let me down.

"Please rest assured, Lord Imu, I have tested it twenty times without any unexpected problems!" Stussy said with great confidence.

"Then show it to me."

Imu rested his arm on the throne guard, propped his cheek with his right hand, and looked down at Stussy below the platform with great interest.

The latter first gently placed the gold model on the red carpet, then canceled the ability effect applied to the surface, causing it to quickly enlarge and return to its original size.

This also attracted the curious gazes of the Kuja Guard inside the hall.

A golden hourglass-shaped tunnel, nearly 20 meters high at both ends, nearly 5 meters wide, with a middle passage about 7 or 8 meters long and only 2 meters high, appeared on the open ground in front of the triple platform.

"This is the 'Shrinking Tunnel,' a special tool based on 'Punk Metal' and 'Mini-Mini Fruit'!"

Stussy, with a beautiful smile on her face, patted its cool, golden surface.

"I fixed the power of the Mini-Mini Fruit inside this tunnel, and then fixed the effect of Dispel the power at the entrances at both ends."

"In this way, objects or creatures with a height of more than three meters but less than twenty meters will shrink to two meters when entering the tunnel and pass through the middle passage area. Once they come out from the other end of the tunnel, they will quickly return to their original size."

Imu was very satisfied after hearing this.

The size of Small Star Gate has long been a problem for the World Government, while Medium Star Gate can only be upgraded once every three years. So he wondered if he could use the power of Devil Fruit to solve the problem.

At that time, he had not yet given the Door-Door Fruit to Oimo, and according to recent tests, the Door-Door Fruit's space could not connect to the other world through the 'Star Gate'.

Therefore, whether it's people or Noah wanting to return to the Sea Star Homeworld, they first need to return to the real world from this space, and then have Stussy use his ability to shrink them before they can successfully pass through the 'Star Gate'.

This indicates that the 'Star Gate' is of a higher level than the 'Door-Door Fruit'.

Let's get back to the original topic.

In short, he had thought of making further use of the Mini-Mini Fruit, which is why he had previously sent Stussy to help shrink the warships.

The problem is that Stussy is a person, and also his secretary-general, so it's impossible to keep her at the Star Gate Base for a long time. So the only option is to find a way to fix the power of the Mini-Mini Fruit onto a certain object.

Having formed an idea, Imu naturally gave her the order.

However, at that time, Stussy seemed unable to attach his abilities to objects for long periods of time, and out of disappointment, he stopped paying much attention to them.

But to everyone's surprise, this woman didn't give up!

"You just mentioned 'Punk Metal'?"

Upon hearing the inquiry from above, Stussy respectfully bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Lord Imu, my little ability actually Awakening last month."

"However, after this Awakening, although I can indeed apply the ability to objects, I need to maintain the ability at close range at all times. Obviously, this is still far from the effect you expected."

"So I took the initiative to contact the Academy of Sciences to ask if they had a solution to this problem, and that's how I heard about 'Punk Metal' from Dean Vegapunk."

"It is said that this is a 'memory alloy' that inherently possesses 'Lineage Factor'. By fusing a small amount of my 'Lineage Factor' with it, the Awakening ability of the Mini-Mini Fruit can be fixed on it for a relatively long time."

After hearing this explanation, Imu understood that it was a nascent 'Pacifista' concept with many flaws.

"How many of these can you make?"

Stussy replied regretfully, "It's a great pity. I don't know if it's because I haven't trained my ability enough, or if this ability, which allows me to maintain my Awakening function for a long time while staying away from other ability users, is unique. After trying many times, I found that I can only create this one."

"So."

Imu nodded. One would be good enough; they couldn't be too greedy. He then said, "Bring Saul over immediately!"

Regardless, it's best to see the results for yourself firsthand.

"Yes!"

Stussy quickly took out Den Den Mushi and relayed the order to the 'Giant God Soldier' commander.

[Boom boom boom boom----]

A moment later, a series of explosive roars echoed outside.

Immediately afterwards, the massive palace doors were pushed open by a Giants clad in full armor with golden blood-stained patterns.

He first knelt on the red carpet beside the 'Shrinking Tunnel', then took off his golden helmet and gently placed it in front of him, while his white cloak drooped to the ground.

"Commander of the 'Giant God Soldier,' Haguval D. Saul, pays his respects to Lord Imu!"

Imu casually gave the order, "Walk through the tunnels around you."

"Yes!"

Saul immediately stood up, then lowered his head slightly and walked into the tunnel. Perhaps due to eating Mythical Zoan Fruit, he was now twenty-two meters tall.

In the blink of an eye, his figure reappeared at the other end of the exit!

"Good!"

Imu was overjoyed.
