Oh, Hello There!
Time Sea Star, and it's already April.
For people living on the Grand Line or the Red Line, they have no way of perceiving the changing seasons through the climate, except for the numbers on the calendar.
After all, hot places will stay hot, and cold places will stay cold.
Although only three months have passed, thanks to the efforts of countless staff members, the World Government has still managed to absorb a considerable amount of resources from the Teigu World.
First and foremost, it's about people.
On the Empire's side, agents who originally belonged to the 'Oarburgh' assassination squad and the 'Imperial Intelligence Corps,' such as Gozuki, Najenda, Mine, all successfully joined the CIPHER POL headquarters.
The swordsmen from the Shenwa Island Country arrived at the Wano Island and began to train in Haki under Mihawk while discussing how to redefine their previous 'swordsman ranking system' based on the Swordsmanship levels of the Sea Star World.
Those blacksmiths who could forge ' Shingu '/' Nether Treasures' were naturally absorbed into the 'Famous Blade Town' of the Rabbit Bowl Sect.
They not only brought the World Government the technology to create "Shingu," but also a wealth of records on "Teigu manufacturing" left by the First Emperor of the Empire a thousand years ago.
Meanwhile, the ninjas from Genshin Shenwa Island Country were absorbed by the Sea Ninja Village, giving the Sea Ninja Village a group of ninjas skilled in archery, as well as a group of Kappa they brought with them.
This brought a lot of liveliness to the long-quiet Sea Ninja Village.
Unfortunately, these Divine Harmony and ninjas weren't very strong.
The Alchemists from the Alchemi Kingdom were assigned to departments such as the Academy of Sciences, the Medical Academy, the Academy City, and the Construction Division, based on their respective areas of expertise.
It was these Alchemists who caused repeated gasps of astonishment within these departments.
"Incredible!"
"It's simply the power of a miracle!"
When the Kureha of the Medical Academy, Kuraeva, along with many other doctors such as Naitin, Crocus, Shinobu Kocho, Tamayo, saw a critically ill patient with ruptured internal organs.
It was simply placed on a ground marked with a complex circular array.
Then, the Otherworld being who called himself a 'Bio-Alchemy' slammed both palms onto the ground.
The seemingly dying patient, under the influence of the glowing array and flashing electricity, fully recovered from his injuries in less than a minute and then made that sound.
And it's not just external injuries, but also viral diseases.
These 'Bio-Alchemy' can also quickly heal people in the same way, supposedly by transforming viruses in the body into normal, harmless cells.
However, this is contingent upon them having sufficient understanding of the virus's structural characteristics.
This caused a strange glint to appear in Kureha's eyes, because she felt that this Bio-Alchemy could solve a major problem.
On the other side.
The Academy of Sciences and the Construction Division are exactly the same.
The former sees the enormous role of alchemy in the field of materials, such as Disintegration, reconstruction, and replication, while the latter is delighted by the speed and convenience of alchemy in infrastructure construction.
Director Lucien Si'en, in particular, was absolutely ecstatic.
He had just witnessed a man who claimed to be an intermediate Alchemists simply tap a circular array on the ground, and then, amidst flashing electricity, one building after another made of different materials rose up.
In short, as long as all the materials are sufficient and the design scheme is clearly explained, it's possible to succeed.
A skilled Alchemists is essentially equivalent to an engineering team, and in terms of time efficiency, they are comparable to Devil Fruit User like Teach Pica.
This led many high-ranking officials in the World Government to regard alchemy as the most valuable gain in the Teigu World.
This also meant that every Alchemists came to the Sea Star received extremely high regard and respect.
Meanwhile, scholars, researchers, and other intellectuals Sea Star Homeworld strongly urged the World Government to allow them to learn the secrets of alchemy.
That's certainly not a problem.
The Truth Alchemy Academy branch in Academy City was prepared for this purpose, and its principal Taylor, a highly skilled Alchemists of Dean Isaac!
However, according to the original plan, Academy City will officially start school on May 1st.
So these people still have to endure another month of hardship.
To be honest...
Alchemy is indeed very useful, but the initial learning curve is too steep.
In addition to various knowledge related to alchemy, one must also delve into the structure of the corresponding substance that one wishes to master.
This is a superpower purely prepared for a group of top students, no, it should be said that it is a group of academic geniuses.
Unless you have exceptional learning talent or already possess a vast amount of knowledge, it's best to avoid it.
Just.
Imu believes he can do it.
While he wasn't very knowledgeable about physics, he was an expert in biology after several years of medical research, so he directly asked someone to bring him relevant information on 'Bio-Alchemy'.
Imu planned to try it himself first, and if it didn't work out, he would find himself a teacher later.
By the way, although 'Bio-Alchemy' and 'Human Alchemy' differ by only one word, the difference is still very significant.
Simply put
The former mainly restores the biological body to its original state, while the latter involves creating a new human body from scratch, encompassing the body, soul, and spirit—a taboo act that seriously violates the laws of nature.
"Um?"
However, Imu quickly memorized the relevant knowledge about 'alchemy'.
Then, full of confidence, he squatted down and slapped his palm hard on the 'Bio-Transmutation Array' drawn on the spacious living room.
But they found that not only did no light or electricity appear, but even the chicken inside, which had been slashed but could only squawk because it was tightly bound by rope, remained unchanged.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.
"What's going on?"
Fortunately Imu had anticipated this possibility and therefore had specifically ordered that no one be allowed to enter, so he simply stood up calmly to think.
The process of initiating alchemy involves someone who has mastered alchemical knowledge first drawing the relevant construction formulas and circular arrays on the ground, guiding the energy generated by the movement of the earth's crust, and then infusing their Elephant Strength into Divine Power by clapping their hands together.
"Uh, it's probably because I'm currently on a ship floating in the void, and the ship itself is in another dimension."
According to relevant information from the Alchemi Kingdom.
Only those Stigmata Alchemists have come into contact with 'Truth' can freely use alchemy anytime, anywhere, without relying on 'Formula Array' and 'Earth's Power'.
"Alright, let's go out and give it a try."
Suddenly, Imu flipped his right palm, quickly condensing a rapidly spinning ball of air.
When it suddenly bloomed, it instantly formed a bowl-shaped light blue space, as the right hand gently pushed forward.
Instantly, two Formless doors, each over three meters tall, opened inward, revealing a clear blue sky dotted with Bai Yun clouds.
This is Oimo's Door-Door Fruit ability!
Imu actually opened Air Door leading to the real world from within the Door-Door Space.
However, he seemed to have gotten used to this, and simply stepped inside casually.
[Whoosh!]
The next second, using his teleportation ability, he appeared in the garden of the Paradis Island Royal Palace from thousands of meters in the air in the blink of an eye.
The beautiful, tranquil lake, as serene as a sapphire, was right beside Imu, yet it didn't deserve even a glance from him.
[Whoosh!]
Another whooshing sound filled the air.
Suddenly, the poor chicken appeared out of thin air in mid-air next to Imu.
He then began to manipulate Formless Haki to redraw the circular formation on the lawn.
"If Sea Star can successfully perform alchemy, then this Giant World should be no problem either."
A moment later.
With a 'hum', Imu watched with delight as the alchemical array before him shone brightly.
At the same time, streaks of blue electricity rapidly surged across the ground.
This means he has learned alchemy.
"Um?"
But he suddenly realized that the light emanating from the alchemy array was a bit too bright.
The next second.
Imu found himself in a pristine, mysterious white space.
Before he could think further, a greeting, neither male nor female, rang out from behind him.
"Hey, hello there! We finally meet!"
