Muzan Kibutsuji Takes the Lead!
More than a month has passed since Imu had his first 'daughter'.
Today is September 10th, 1502 in the Marine Calendar.
In five days, the new Reverie will once again be solemnly convened in the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
This Reverie is no longer just an internal matter for Sea Star; with the participation of the 'Teigu World Joint Council,' it has officially become a cross-world conference.
Therefore, it has attracted more attention and expectations from the public.
It's worth mentioning that Edward Newgate and Charlotte Linlin will also attend the Reverie as King of the Whitebeard Kingdom and Queen of the Totto Land Kingdom.
This has also become a hot topic among countless Sea Star Person.
After all, these two can be considered the World's Strongest Man and the World's Strongest woman on Sea Star surface.
It's a pity they don't seem to be a couple.
Otherwise, it's hard to imagine what terrifying talents their descendants would possess.
King Harald of the Elbaf Kingdom has also attracted much attention.
However, the World Government has received two very interesting formal requests recently, and even the Five Elders have gathered together today in the 'Authority Room' to discuss them.
So what exactly is this application?
The nations of the Kabane World Hinomoto) and the Demon Slayer World) request to join the World Government!
Obviously.
They were all learning from the practices of the Teigu World. Over the years, they had all come to know, to varying degrees, that the World Government's attitudes toward Affiliated Nation and non- Affiliated Nation were completely different.
Non- Affiliated Nation receive no protection whatsoever from the World Government, let alone support or development.
In.
The nations of the Demon Slayer World expressed that they could also form a united organization like the Teigu World, and then send a representative to the Reverie on Sea Star.
They even have a similar organization in their world: the League of Nations!
This is an international organization established after World War I in the Demon Slayer World, so they believe that the League of Nations can be the main body, and then join the World Government.
Interestingly...
In the Kabane World, in Hinomoto, the current Shogun Ayame Yomogawa, did not request the qualification to participate in the Reverie Shogunate Conference; he only expressed his desire to become Affiliated Nation of the World Government.
"Hehehe, what do you all think of these two franchise applications?"
Topman Saint Topman Warcury was still sitting in the center of the green sofa, presiding over this 'Supreme Governing Committee Meeting'.
"We can consider accepting Kabane World's application, since it's just a franchise."
Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro made his stance clear and concise.
"Indeed, we've brought in countless resources from them over the years. An Affiliated Nation is worthwhile, and it also legally acknowledges the 'royal' status of the Yomogawa Family."
Marcus Saint Mars stood beside the sofa, his long, straight legs outstretched, and agreed.
He quite admired the brave little girl, Ayame Yomogawa, and she had always been very cooperative with the World Government's work.
"Agree."
Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter nodded.
As the highest leader of CIPHER POL, he knew best how honest Ayame Yomogawa was and how she had never done anything underhanded.
At that moment, Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, this Female General's husband seems to have grown tired of the overly peaceful life there. He wants to bring the Samurai of Hinomoto to participate in our conquest of the Otherworld."
"Samurai of Hinomoto?"
This piqued the curiosity of Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, because in his memory Kabane World didn't seem to have any powerful figures.
As for Biba Amatori, it wasn't because of his strength that he was favored.
Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint laughed:
"Hehehe, they're just a bunch of swordsmen who like to brandish knives and swords but don't have any extraordinary powers. Only that General husband Kurusu is alright."
"We gave him a Paramecia Sickle Fruit for testing purposes, and later Ayame Yomogawa also exchanged a bottle of Cell Enhancement Serum for him."
"Cough."
Upon hearing this, Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro instantly lost interest and casually said, "Then just throw it to Mihawk's Swordmaster Hall and let them vent their excess energy there."
"I think so too." Topman Saint Topman Warcury nodded, then glanced at the others. "If no one objects, does that mean we agree to Hinomoto joining?"
"Good."
Jaygarcia Saint Saturn, who had remained silent until now, finally agreed, though this member of the Five Elders seems to have recently acquired a name.
Jaygarcia Saint Saturn!
"What about the nations of the Demon Slayer World?"
Upon hearing Saturn's words, Topman Saint Topman Warcury pondered for a long while.
"Logically speaking, the Demon Slayer World has provided us with nearly ten million laborers and a large number of Auxiliary Corps over the past few years, so it's not a problem for the union to have the status of Affiliated Nation. However, they have asked for a seat at the Reverie."
The other four naturally understood the deeper meaning behind his words.
To put it bluntly...
I just feel that the value of the Demon Slayer World can't compare to that of the Teigu World, except for 'local specialties' like Muzan Kibutsuji, Breathing Technique, and the Ubuyashiki Clan.
Their role is simply to provide labor and natural resources.
In contrast, consider the Teigu World.
Even excluding Supreme Teigu, Dr. Stylish, Dean Isaac, Yami Tsukahara Sword Saint.
In addition, various Danger Beasts, Shingu, and strategic-level Teigu can be continuously provided to the World Government.
There are also Alchemists trained by the Alchemi Kingdom, disciples trained by the Imperial Fist Temple, swordsmen trained by the Shenhe Island, doctors trained by the Empire, researchers, and so on.
These are the main reasons for securing seats at the Reverie.
Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro said dismissively, "Then we won't give them seats, just franchise qualifications."
"However, the 'geographical location' of the Demon Slayer World is very important. It is located right between the Giant World and the Sea Star World. In the future, our interactions with the Demon Slayer World will definitely be far more frequent than with any other world except the Giant World."
Saturn then offered his opinion.
Perhaps because he finally had a name, and was the first among the five people present to have one, he was extremely excited.
"Then I think the Demon Slayer World should have a joint organization to better provide logistical support to the Giant World. Besides, this world has many excellent scientists; didn't Academy City recruit some people to be teachers?"
"From this perspective, giving them a seat is barely acceptable."
Topman, Saint Topman Warcury, and others fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Really.
If the Demon Slayer World were to join as a whole, it would indeed be qualified for a seat at the Reverie, considering that most of the seated countries in the Sea Star Homeworld are not as good as them.
"I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
At this moment, Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint, with his legs crossed, smiled slightly and then, under the gaze of the other four, revealed his thoughts.
"Let the nations of the Demon Slayer World form a united organization like the Teigu World, then have Muzan Kibutsuji serve as its main leader, and then have him represent them at a future Reverie."
"This"
Topman, Saint Topman Warcury, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Saturn, gripping his long, thick cane, looked at them with a puzzled expression. "Why?"
"Firstly, we already know Muzan Kibutsuji's personality very well. Secondly, Muzan Kibutsuji also has a sufficient understanding of us. I don't think there will be any problems with him managing the Demon Slayer World."
Then Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter looked at them meaningfully. "Finally, where do you think these Demon Slayer Nations get the confidence to ask us for a seat at the Reverie?"
Topman Saint Topman Warcury frowned.
"What do you mean? You're not suggesting that their confidence comes from Muzan Kibutsuji?"
"It should be said that the application for the Demon Slayer World Nations to join was actually spearheaded by Muzan Kibutsuji, and he did it quite openly and aboveboard, without trying to avoid our eyes and ears at all."
Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter shook his head, secretly chuckling to himself.
This Muzan Kibutsuji quite cowardly, but he's incredibly bold in these kinds of situations—a very interesting guy.
