A Higher Level!

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro used Muzan Kibutsuji as an example, leaving Sengoku, Garp, and the others speechless.

Really.

They have been living with an ancient monster that has lived for over a thousand years for more than two years, and from time to time they have to sit in a classroom and listen to the monster teach them about human biology.

The exploration and utilization of the potential for Life Return have also been visibly enhanced because of the other party.

For example, the ability to regenerate severed limbs is something that top-tier fighters like Garp, Zephyr, and Kou, who are proficient in Physical Arts, can now do with ease.

Others also gradually learned the basics of Life Return.

For example, Edward Newgate, Kaido, and Crocodile, who wasn't even present, these people who came from the One Piece can already stop bleeding on their own, detoxify themselves, manipulate their hair, and control their muscles.

Although these abilities seem somewhat useless to them.

However, his strength has indeed improved, and he has made up for some deficiencies in his Physical Arts.

For powerful individuals at their level, even the most insignificant improvement is considered invaluable, let alone Life Return technique, which is quite remarkable.

In many other Otherworld, this would be considered a divine skill.

Therefore, Muzan Kibutsuji actually quite valuable to the World Government; at present, he can be considered the best teacher in the field of life.

Moreover, he himself really enjoys being a teacher.

Especially when the students below him are a group of Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, or even Admiral, he can naturally see how much benefit this will bring him.

"So, does that mean we're all actually under Lord Imu's command?"

At this moment, Kaido spoke up, breaking the increasingly solemn atmosphere, but his tone did not reveal his specific attitude.

Seated in the main seat Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro glanced at Kaido expressionlessly.

"Imu, who can lead you to conquer countless worlds, traverse the Star Sea, and witness countless wonders, is not fit to be your boss?"

"This"

Kaido his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

If you were to ask who among everyone present loved conquering Otherworld the most, it would undoubtedly be him. So when he learned that the 'Star Gate' was created by Imu, he felt a deep sense of gratitude.

After all, his greatest pursuit in life was to wage a massive world war, and Imu perfectly fulfilled all his desires.

I didn't know who the Star Gate came from before, so I couldn't express my gratitude to a specific person.

But now it has appeared.

It just happened so suddenly that he didn't quite catch his breath.

On the other side.

Sengoku and Tsuru locked eyes, both seeing worry in each other's gazes, for they realized that Imu's existence was tantamount to the de facto ruler of the World Government.

What does this mean?

Dictatorship!

It's important to understand that in their ingrained belief, there is no 'king' in the World Government who holds all power.

All matters, big or small, are discussed and decided by several people or a group of people.

For example, Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, and the Reverie.

Even the Empty Throne in Mary Geoise is merely a 'symbol of peace,' and the fact that no one sits there signifies that 'no one can sit in that position.'

But now it seems there's a person or god who can sit on it perfectly well?

The leader who led the 'first twenty kings' to create the World Government, the common and original ancestor of the Celestial Dragons, and still wields the immense power of the Star Gate.

Consider the opponent's previous performance in easily suppressing the berserk dragon-transformed Shikoutazer in the Teigu World, and the terrifying strength that 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate himself admitted to being easily defeated.

When all these conditions come together in one person, it doesn't seem out of place for him to sit on the Empty Throne.

Sengoku's mind raced as he considered the existence of Imu and the immense impact it would have if the world knew about it.

The Human-Human Fruit 'Daibutsu Form grants a significant boost to combat power.

At the same time, it also gave him the wisdom of the Buddha.

This allows him to always remain rational and calm, and no matter how Wrath he gets, he will never let his anger cloud his judgment.

They can think about things in the most logical way and quickly master any knowledge and skills they need to learn; in short, they become geniuses.

In just a few seconds of highly efficient thinking, I weighed the pros and cons from all aspects.

This led him to a conclusion that even surprised himself: the existence of Imu was beneficial to the World Government and Sea Star!

Or rather...

The World Government today needs a leader like Imu.

However, this is contingent on the other party not interfering excessively in the operation of the World Government based on their personal likes and dislikes.

Then consider the words of Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro.

This Lord Imu officially emerged from seclusion with the Star Gate four years ago, in the year 1497 of the Marine Calendar.

Let's think more carefully about the many changes that have taken place in World Government over the past four years.

It seems that everything is changing in a direction that they believe is good.

For example.

Back when he and Garp brought Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino to the South Blue to capture Roger.

The World Government specifically instructed them to minimize civilian casualties on the island.

Now it seems that this is absolutely the will of Lord Imu.

For example...

Although Sengoku was the Navy Fleet Admiral, he also noticed that the World Government had been helping and assisting impoverished kingdoms and many islands in recent years.

That's the 'four-piece set' consisting of Police Station, a public school, World Hospital, and a government compound.

It has brought tangible support and benefits to people in various regions.

It has already begun to spread across the seas.

Countless people in Sea Star hope every day that these things will appear in their homeland soon.

Therefore, considering all these changes...

Sengoku could probably deduce that Lord Imu was completely different from the Celestial Dragons.

Moreover, he was a benevolent ruler who was willing to treat the people kindly.

As for the overly harsh rulings against the Giant World, those were outside his concern.

After all.

He is the Navy Fleet Admiral of the Sea Star World Government, not Navy Fleet Admiral from any other world, and certainly not a compassionate Buddha.

He is merely a user of the Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Daibutsu Form.

At last.

This Lord Imu has been hiding himself behind the scenes.

Instead of directly stepping onto the stage to announce its existence, seizing all the power of the World Government, and completely pushing itself into the position of 'Sea Star Emperor'.

This shows that he is good at controlling his desires, understands the big picture, values order and the stability of systems, and is a person with a very broad perspective.

In summary.

In this self-deduced way of thinking, Sengoku gradually developed a slight liking for Lord Imu, whom he had not yet officially met.

Because the Sea Star is indeed getting better and better, and the World Government is becoming more and more benevolent towards its own people.

This is a tangible and visible fact!

[Bang!]

Suddenly, a loud slap on the table startled Sengoku, who was deep in thought, causing him to look at Garp beside him with displeasure.

Before he could say anything, the other person looked at Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro with excitement and asked loudly.

"I just want to know one thing: what level of strength has Lord Imu reached? Is it possible for us to keep up with him?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned intense, even Borsalino, who had been rubbing his nails with his head down, looked up.

They had always believed that their current level was the pinnacle of combat power.

Even someone as powerful as Rocks back then, or Newgate now, strictly speaking, hasn't exceeded this level, but the strength displayed by that Imu seems to be on another level altogether.

A higher level!
