Death Under Military Law!
The river of time flows swiftly through the myriad worlds Star Sea.
Interestingly, each of the five worlds, including the Sea Star, has its own season.
This has resulted in a harsh winter in Hinomoto on the Kabane World.
But on Paradis Island in the Giant World, it's the height of summer.
Year, month, date—that's even more of a mess.
To solve this problem.
Under Imu's instructions, the World Government issued an order to the Kabane World, Demon Slayer World, and Giant World, which it had already ruled, to uniformly use the Marine Calendar and take the time of the Sea Star Holy Land, Mary Geoise, as the standard.
This is the approach.
Although this will cause the months and seasons in these three worlds to not match.
For example, it may be November but feel like spring or summer.
However, it made it much easier for World Government to manage it.
As for the Teigu World, we'll do the same once it officially joins the game.
Besides.
The currency should be changed to the Beli, and the World Bank should set up a branch in the capital of every country.
Furthermore, according to the laws of the World Government, the private issuance of any form of currency is prohibited.
As for the legal aspects...
The laws of the World Government take precedence over those of individual countries, which is one of the fundamental conditions for joining the organization.
At this time.
It has been a month since the Empire, Divine Harmony, and Alkemi formally submitted their applications to join the World Government.
The reconstruction project of 'Seka Fortress City' led by Pica.
With his powerful Paramecia Stone-Stone Fruit ability and the hard work of the entire team, the basic main structure has been completed.
This place is completely unrecognizable from what it used to be.
On the vast snow-covered plain, dark clouds loomed, snowflakes fluttered down, and a cold wind howled.
A city with a style quite different from this world rose from the ground.
Rows of white buildings of varying heights form areas of different sizes, while wide avenues, hundreds of meters wide, crisscross the area, surrounding a large building that stands out prominently in the center.
Five cylindrical white buildings, connected by four sky bridges.
The World Government branch building, when viewed from above, resembles Five-Circle Cross.
At the same time.
In each of the four corners—northwest, Tohoku, southwest, and southeast—there are three flagpoles of the same height as the building.
At the top, World Government flags fluttered in the cold wind.
Its overall structure and layout are virtually identical to the World Government Headquarters building in Sea Star Homeworld.
It's much smaller than the headquarters in terms of size and scale.
The reason for doing this is that the World Government wants to demonstrate its authority.
It is explicitly stipulated that the style of government branch buildings in Otherworld must be uniform.
Next, Pica and his team only need to complete the final touches before they can declare the project finished.
Then the World Government will send people to take over and manage the city, and finally the Army will move in to arrange city defense and patrols.
It will take about another month in total.
However.
This also provides a perfect timeframe for all parties' subsequent activities.
This refers to the 'friendly exchange' proposed by the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
Above the East Blue in the Teigu World.
There are two islands, one large and one small, that are almost adjacent to the Empire Continent.
The larger one was the former Marine Headquarters.
The smaller one is Esdeath's personal residence.
It's only because of that earth-shattering battle between Kuzan and Esdeath that it has now become a completely icy wasteland.
Many steel warships, completely frozen in ice, can still be seen in the port.
At this time.
The seas surrounding this large island have been blocked by the World Government's naval fleet.
Eleven space carriers fully loaded with fighter jets and forty different types of Flying Warship floated in the sky.
Some of these Flying Warships were equipped with a large number of Visual Den Den Mushi).
Nearby, there were also some officials from the Publicity Department Media Bureau of the Ministry of Information, all wearing thick winter clothes.
As they arrived, they were enveloped in the cold of the wind and snow, their expectant gaze occasionally sweeping across the distance and below.
At the same time.
Viewers from all over the world, who could also see the scene from the perspective of these Den Den Mushi), had already gathered together.
Especially the people of Sea Star.
Without realizing it, they had become accustomed to watching movies and TV shows and live broadcasts.
Therefore, when the Publicity Department announced half a month ago that this "Supreme Combat Power Exchange Battle" with the Teigu World would be broadcast live, it could be described as something that everyone was looking forward to.
People hoped to see their Admiral in action again and were curious about the true nature of the Teigu World.
Not only was it not conquered by a large army like the previous other Otherworld, but it also managed to get the World Government to agree to hold membership talks with it.
The thought that the World Government is about to welcome its first Affiliated Nation from Otherworld.
Everyone felt a strong sense of novelty, which also caused concern among many royals and nobles in the Sea Star Homeworld.
Especially those kingdoms that hold seats at the Reverie.
They had a nagging suspicion that the World Government would grant a seat to the Teigu World.
So, unless a seat is added, breaking the fifty-seat rule that has been in place for nearly a thousand years, then...
Otherwise, the only option is for one of the host countries to withdraw.
If it's the latter, then the interests involved are far greater.
"Tanjiro!"
"Hey, you've finally arrived!"
"Come quick, come quick!"
"Nezuko is here too! That's great! Come stay by my side!"
"Get out of my way, come here!"
On the Sea Star Homeworld Wano Island, at the Swordmaster Hall.
A group of young men and women dressed in black and white kendo uniforms sat shoulder to shoulder on the smooth wooden floor.
There are approximately three hundred people, and each person is around seventeen or eighteen years old.
A man and a woman rushed over from the doorway not far away.
The atmosphere immediately became even more lively, and it was clear that they were very popular with everyone.
"Sorry, sorry!"
"I met a grandma pushing a heavy stroller on the way, so I took her home first. It seems like it hasn't even started yet, which is great!"
Tanjiro Kamado, who had grown considerably, led his now graceful younger sister Nezuko to the front of the group, looking embarrassed as they explained.
He is currently about 1.8 meters tall, about a head taller than Nezuko, and has a very strong physique.
Only her clear eyes and gentle smile remained unchanged.
"As expected of Tanjiro!"
"You're so kind! Hey Tanjiro, how about you consider me? I'd love to marry you~"
A girl from Wano Island joked.
Ah, this.
Tanjiro blushed instantly and stammered, somewhat at a loss for words.
At that moment, Nezuko took a step forward with a smile on her face.
"Thank you all for your care and concern for my brother. If any of you older sisters are interested in him, I, as his younger sister, would be happy to share his preferences with you all."
Nezuko!
Tanjiro felt even more embarrassed and quickly gestured for her to stop talking.
Unexpectedly, the girls snatched Nezuko from his hands and took her aside for a lively chat.
"Ugh, you bastards! I told you, Nezuko is my girlfriend!"
Suddenly, Zenitsu Agatsuma's ferocious roar caught Tanjiro's attention.
Tanjiro shook his head helplessly.
He was also puzzled by this matter.
I don't know what Nezuko was thinking, but she actually agreed to be Zenitsu Agatsuma's girlfriend last year.
"Come sit down right now, you idiot Tanjiro!"
On the other side Inosuke Hashibira, wearing Boar's Head and sitting cross-legged on the ground with his arms crossed, shouted at Tanjiro was standing there dumbfounded.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Tanjiro quickly ran over and sat down next to him, laughing, "I never expected to see such a grand scene so soon after graduation."
They are already seventeen years old, and will be eighteen in two months.
According to the rules set by the Swordmaster Hall, they will be able to choose to join any department of the World Government.
For example, the Navy, Army, Air Force, or even CIPHER POL, the Ministry of Police, or even the Sea Ninja Village.
You can stay at the Swordmaster Hall as a Swordsmanship teacher and continue to focus on studying Swordsmanship, or you can leave and go wherever you want.
After all, Sea Star are so big, some people will always want to explore them.
At that moment, Inosuke Hashibira suddenly whispered, "Tanjiro, I'm wondering if the Army would suit me better."
"Ah?"
Tanjiro paused for a moment, then turned his gaze from the virtual screen to the other person in surprise. "Didn't we agree to join the Ministry of Police together, fight criminals, and protect the people?"
"Oh well."
Inosuke Hashibira also didn't really want to be separated from everyone.
Seeing Genya Shinazugawa, who graduated this year, join the Army in order to catch up with his brother, touched me deeply.
"And I've heard the military is very strict; you must be feeling quite uncomfortable."
Tanjiro felt that Inosuke's personality wasn't suited for military service; otherwise, he would have charged forward yelling before his superiors even gave the order.
They'll most likely either die from the enemy's blade or from military law.
"That's true."
Inosuke Hashibira thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.
