Shiki, Otohime, and Kuma!

Teigu World.

Just as Garp and Muzan Kibutsuji teamed up to capture the super Danger Beasts 'Nine-Tails White Fox' Red Lotus.

On the Sea Star Homeworld.

Inside the deepest level of Impel Down Impel Down, the "Level 6 Infinite Hell," in a cell made of fine steel.

There stood an old man, looking utterly dejected, reeking of foul odor, and extremely filthy.

He was wearing the ring around his neck and looking at a pristine white document he had just received.

Although the cell was dark, there were no lights inside.

However, thanks to the eerie green light emanating from the ring and his exceptionally sharp eyesight, he could still clearly see the text on it.

He looked at it very carefully.

There weren't many words on it, but Shiki's gaze lingered between the names Monkey D. Garp and Edward Newgate.

Yes.

This disheveled old man was none other than Shiki the Golden Lion, the former Grand Admiral of the Flying Pirate Fleet who once dominated the Four Seas!

Three years have passed since he single-handedly Marineford Marine Headquarters was subsequently arrested by Garp and Sengoku.

Beside Shiki, you can see a Den Den Mushi sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.

It was delivered by an agent from the High Command Staff Headquarters.

Through it, Shiki had actually been keeping track of the great war between the World Government and the Otherworld.

Initially, the Kabane World and the Demon Slayer World did not arouse much interest in him.

You can start with the Giant World.

Perhaps it was because I had been in this dark and gloomy place for too long that I finally felt lonely.

Perhaps he was deeply moved by the death of Byndi Wald.

Or perhaps they were awestruck by the sight of endless rows of sixty-meter-tall steam Titans surging into the Red Line like a tidal wave.

Shiki was starting to lose his composure.

Until Teigu World.

Seeing Kaido severely injured by the 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace', seeing Bullet transform into a thousand-meter Titans and shatter mountains with his fist, seeing Sakazuki's earth-shattering battle with Red Lotus.

Finally, when they saw Divine Dragon, Black Marlin, Aokiji unleashing a magnificent, apocalyptic scene on the ocean in another world.

He finally, finally, finally couldn't resist the burning impulse and passion rising in his heart.

He grabbed the Den Den Mushi and contacted 'Steel Bone' Sora at the High Command.

However, in order to leave himself with some pride, he simply proposed that he wanted to become Air Force Marshal.

In Shiki's view, he, as the Dadu of the Flying Pirate Fleet, was more than qualified to be the Air Force Marshal of the World Government.

The current Air Force Marshal, "Black Arm" Zephyr.

Although his strength was not bad, he was no match for me back then. As for the current Air Force Admiral 'Azure Dragon' Kaido...

Hehe.

When I was a high-ranking officer in the Rocks Pirates, this kid was just an intern!

So how can I possibly be on par with Kaido?

It has to be Fleet Admiral!

Shiki never expected that the World Government would reject his request so bluntly.

He was also forced to choose between Garp and Newgate as his opponent for the position of Air Force Admiral.

If you win, you become Admiral you don't even respect; if you lose, you're just a lieutenant general Admiral for Vice Admiral?

Shiki was furious; he felt the World Government had underestimated him.

But the allure of freedom and Otherworld warfare forced him to suppress his discontent and carefully consider his opponent.

"The World Government has agreed to remove the ship's rudder from my head, so once I've fully recovered, it shouldn't be long before I regain my full strength."

Shiki didn't think that a mere three years would have much of an impact on him.

"I probably can't beat Newgate, so it seems I don't really have any other choice."

After a moment, he made a decision.

He then shouted loudly to the two men in black guarding the cell, "Hey kid outside, get in here right now! I've made up my mind!"

--Transition line--

Inside Noah in the Giant World.

Imu sat calmly in his study, looking at the government documents on the table.

This is a task he must undertake as the supreme ruler of the World Government.

Otherwise, if they only occasionally listened to the reports of the Five Elders, like their predecessors did, it would be difficult to understand the situation and changes in the World Government.

Based on the contents of these documents.

Imu learned that Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island, along with her retinue, had completed a series of speeches in the capitals and major cities of various countries across the Asia Continent in the Demon Slayer World.

Next, we plan to travel to the capitals of various countries Europa Continent.

Queen Otohime has clearly fallen in love with her current job.

However, her speeches often revolve around letting go of past pain and hatred, and working together with the Sea Star and other people in the world towards a better future.

Furthermore, under the influence of her Observation Haki, which has an almost brainwashing effect.

This has indeed caused many 'Demon Slayer People' fans to gradually stop dwelling on the war between the two sides that has only lasted for two years.

This caused the atmosphere of hatred towards the World Government among the countries of the Asia Continent to melt away layer by layer, like snow under the sun.

According to observations by CIPHER POL personnel, many "Demon Slayer People" have begun to fall in love with Queen Otohime.

They were like fanatical fans.

They even started following the team's itinerary, traveling to one new city after another where Queen Otohime was going to give speeches, and even to other countries.

"It seems I underestimated Queen Otohime's role. Once the situation in the Teigu World stabilizes, I'll have her give a speech there," Imu thought to himself.

However, Queen Otohime refused to accept speeches provided by others, always thinking, writing, and memorizing her own speeches.

Clearly, she didn't want to be overly controlled by the World Government.

Imu didn't mind.

He knew that Queen Otohime's Observation Haki only worked if the content was something she genuinely agreed with, so forcing her was useless.

"Um?"

"Has Bartholomew Xiong finally agreed to let Dragon join the Ministry of Police?"

Imu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the contents of the new report.

He knew about how Dragon had invited the bear before but was rejected; the bear's reason at the time was that the Sorbet Kingdom was too poor and couldn't do without him.

However, this reason has become untenable as the World Government's support for the Sorbet Kingdom has increased year by year.

While not everyone in the Sorbet Kingdom can be considered a noble, it is certainly a place where people live in peace and prosperity, free from worries about food and clothing.

It has even been equipped with the new policy's three essential elements: a 'World Hospital,' a 'government public school,' and a 'Police Station.'

This filled Bartholomew Kuma with gratitude towards the World Government, and after careful consideration, he decided to pass the throne to his younger brother.

Then she said goodbye to her three-year-old daughter Bonney and entrusted her to her mother, who was still in relatively good health.

Bartholomew Kuma noticed through the previous 'Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament' held by the World Government that more and more people from Otherworld would definitely appear on Sea Star Homeworld in the future.

One day, the World Government may even fully open access to some of these Star Gate.

When that happens, Otherworld will definitely flood in like a tidal wave, which will inevitably bring some chaos to the Sea Star Homeworld.

In this situation...

The existence of the Ministry of Police is a very important force, so Bartholomew Kuma hopes to use his abilities to help maintain order on the Sea Star Homeworld.

Thus, Dragon will soon have a reliable helper!
