Well, seeing the Minister of Defense kneeling down rapidly before him, Gawain's smile grew even wider.
He went over to the Minister of Defense and gave him a heavy tap on the shoulder.
"Hang up that phone call. Now that I'm here, the Prime Minister of this Japan doesn't need to act as a mouthpiece. He's not worthy."
What do you think?
As he spoke, Gawain turned his head and gave the others a sinister glance.
Meeting Gawain's gaze, those who had been plotting against Gawain immediately lost their will to resist.
It wasn't because Gamabunta; even if Gawain could really cut through the sea, those generals didn't think they would necessarily lose.
Because they possess top-tier weaponry, they can accomplish everything that Gawain has already done!
Why are they so afraid?
Because what Gawain just demonstrated was far more terrifying than mere strength!
One second Gawain was in Japan, and the next he was at the White House!
What kind of ability is this?
This ability is practically cheating!
If someone can teleport across half the Earth, how could they possibly be eliminated by a super weapon controlled by the US?
For any weapon with great power, the time it takes to fire and arrive is enough for Gawain to teleport away.
Even if the bomb exploded in Gawain's arms, Gawain could still escape, right?
What's more, Gawain's individual strength far surpasses theirs.
If Gawain wanted to, wouldn't he be able to appear at everyone's bedside anytime, anywhere, and easily tear their heads apart?
For a moment, the kagune of the large group of god-level ghouls present began to tremble.
Damn it, how can there actually be such a powerful ghoul?!
Compared to Gawain, the American-trained Hercules also possess the ability to control elemental energy.
But while all the god-level ghouls were playing with lightning, fire, and sound, Gawain actually started manipulating space!!!
How could this happen?
Filled with incomprehensible shock and unspeakable fear.
Everyone quickly hung up the phone with Japan Rizi.
Unfortunately, the practice of bestowing titles is no longer popular, and the US does not have the legal right to do so, nor is the Japan actually US territory or colony.
In short, if they could, the group of important figures present would love to bestow upon Gawain the title of Duke and support him in establishing a duchy, while also sharing their Japan with Gawain as a major power!
That's just how things are. Who cares what you think about your Japan? As long as this guy isn't focusing his attention on America, that's fine.
Although I don't understand why Gawain would choose such a small place as Japan.
But this is just wonderful!
That's wonderful!
Regardless of the various thoughts of the people present, after hanging up the phone, Gawain looked around and then went straight to sit in the empty seat left by the president.
After sitting down, he gently patted the table and then looked around at the faces.
Seeing the fear on the faces of that group of people, Gawain let out a long sigh.
When he was just a diplomat, how he wished he could see such expressions on the faces of America generals and Congress as a diplomat.
If that were the case, ha, how delightful that would be!
But things aren't bad here. Even though it's not my hometown, the faces are all the same, haha!
With a soft chuckle, Gawain raised his head and addressed the silent crowd around him.
You may not understand me, and naturally you won't understand my personality.
Let's get to know each other in more detail in the time we have left.
I'm a straightforward person; I don't like beating around the bush.
As for the reason, people of your status wouldn't be so cryptic when dealing with their own family matters, much less so when issuing orders to subordinates.
In my eyes, you who think you're so powerful are just like those guys you don't think are worth wasting time on—not worth my time or effort.
So, listen carefully to what I have to say next.
I will only say this once, I will not repeat it, so please be prepared."
"I see!"
"Secretary, make sure to record this carefully!"
"Record what should be recorded, and don't record what shouldn't be recorded!"
"Turn off the camera, don't turn it on!"
"Quickly, hand over the banknotes! We can't just rely on the computer to record things; we need multiple recording methods for security!"
"Mr. Gawain, please speak!"
With each order issued, the anxious and uneasy dignitaries sat upright, looking at Gawain like schoolchildren.
Under everyone's gaze, Gawain was about to speak when he suddenly stopped.
Everyone was startled by Gawain's pause, and then quickly looked around, trying to find out why Gawain had stopped.
A moment later, there was a knock.
With a gentle knock on the door, the president stretched his long, narrow, short-haired hard-boiled egg through the door.
"Ahem, please forgive my uninvited arrival, may I...?"
Come in.
Gawain waved, and the president quickly entered, then glanced at the seats around him.
After glancing at him, he quietly went to the side, pulled up a chair, and sat down directly opposite Gawain.
The two generals near him consciously distanced themselves, giving the president more room to walk.
After the president sat down, Gawain nodded and continued.
"Great, everyone's here. In that case, we'll let bygones be bygones for your absence earlier."
I don't like wasting time, so I'll get straight to my plans.
So far, I am very interested in the city of Tokyo and the relationship between ghouls and humans throughout Japan.
You can investigate why I'm interested, but aside from that, don't casually put your hand near me, remember that.
Of course, just talking about it won't necessarily convince you to make a decision.
You people are two-faced, cowardly and ungrateful, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. I understand that perfectly.
Therefore, in order for you to truly learn to respect me, I will give you an opportunity, an opportunity to fully showcase yourselves.
You secretly want to get rid of me, don't you?
You must feel uneasy about someone like me, who's uncontrollable and can threaten you at any time, right?
Okay, that's fine, you'll feel uneasy. I'll make you even more uneasy, so uneasy that you won't even have the courage to refuse me!
Three days later, you can choose a spot, and I will be waiting for you there.
Don't worry, I'm not some medieval relic; I won't play those one-on-one games with you.
Although you guys are all pretty strong, even if you team up, you're not enough for me to kill. I don't like playing that kind of game.
So..."
At this point, Gawain tapped the table with his finger, and the official next to him immediately lit a cigarette for Gawain.
For those skilled at reading between the lines, Gawain doesn't need to say a word; they can tell what Gawain needs.
He took a deep breath, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and then Gawain.
"So this is just an experiment. You can bring out all your hidden weapons and test them on me to your heart's content!"
I will not hide, nor will I run away. I will sit in the place we agreed upon, just as I am now, awaiting your attack.
Whether it's bullets, artillery shells, or even nuclear bombs and more powerful weapons.
Just as you sometimes fantasize about whether those weapons could kill me, I sometimes wonder if I could defeat those weapons.
I'm really curious, so in three days, you can satisfy our shared curiosity!
I hope your secret weapon will give me a pleasant surprise.
I also hope you can help me find my limits.
Your technology is arguably the best in the world today.
If you still disappoint me...
Then there is probably nothing in this world that can kill me.
How boring I must have been back then, haha!
Don't let me down!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain stood up confidently and glanced towards the window.
After just one glance.
Whoosh!!!
The window shattered suddenly, and Gawain's figure vanished completely.
Suck...
Call...
Everyone present let out a long sigh of relief.
After they stopped seeing Gawain, they felt much more relaxed. When Gawain was around, it felt like two huge mountains were standing on their shoulders.
They didn't know that it was the effect of Gawain's Haki.
But they knew they were terrified of Gawain, and that was enough.
They had only relaxed for a short while when a new video call request came their way.
This time, they didn't even have a chance to answer the phone.
Because Gawain directly dialed the signal, he reconnected Japan with them.
Seeing Gawain return to Japan Gawain, the White House staff held their breath, desperately trying to suppress their unease.
Amidst this unease, Gawain spoke softly during the video call.
"You can choose your own spots. Once you've chosen, notify Issho Koinu and have him come and report to me."
See you in three days, hehe.
After Gawain finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The White House staff remained silent as they watched the video projection disappear.
After what seemed like an eternity, the president finally couldn't help but take a breath and continue speaking.
"He... did he really appear in front of us just now?"
Isn't that some kind of high-tech projection?
Or is it some kind of hallucination-creating technique?
"Impossible!"
Across from him, the Minister of Defense, back in his seat, gave a resolute and firm affirmation.
"If it's just an illusion, then creating an illusion that traps us all in is even more terrifying than his ability to teleport!"
That means he has practically permeated this place completely!
Therefore, in any case, rather than believing it to be an illusion, we can only believe that it is indeed magical enough!
In short, Mr. President, let's consider the implications of his words first!
"But do we need to consider that?"
After hearing the minister's words, the president had no time to ponder the iron will, and instead spoke solemnly.
"The meaning of his words was all too clear: we'll specify the location, and he'll come to meet our challenge, any challenge."
Or perhaps, out of pity, he gave us... an opportunity to challenge him as much as possible!
In short, can you be sure this isn't some kind of inducement on his part, such as so that if we actually try to harm him, he can free up his hands to completely side with justice and kill us?
"Won't!"
A general standing nearby shook his head and said...
"We've already seen his ability to destroy aircraft carriers and create tsunamis in satellite footage."
With that kind of power and that size, if he wanted to kill us...
At least I don't think we have the ability to resist.
Instead of going to great lengths to find a moral high ground to kill us, he really doesn't need to go to such lengths.
Honestly, if the people we're doing were to die, there would be very few people in the world willing to stand up for us.
Ordinary people will only cheer for our death; they will not pity our death, but only the turmoil that our death may cause in America.
In short...
Regardless of the reason, we are not worth him using any more methods.
After absorbing his power, I'll be honest, I even think I could become the King of the World..."
When he finished speaking, the general even showed a look of longing.
Ambition is a man's eternal fuel.
Upon hearing the general's words, the others around couldn't help but fantasize for a moment.
After a moment, they understood.
If only they possessed the abilities that Gawain had demonstrated.
Then they would immediately enslave the entire nation, and be the first to restore the right of first night!
Who wants to play games with a bunch of old geezers?
Why not just play all over the world?
And then the next moment...
The crowd looked at each other.
Finally, the president spoke.
So, is he... playing around right now?
And we are his toys, a link in the chain of his quest for fulfillment...?
The president nervously rubbed his chin; this feeling was truly unsettling.
"In short, there's probably nothing we can do, so all we can do is prepare according to his instructions!"
At this point, a heated discussion ensued.
The document details the locations where various weapons were deployed, as well as the details of how the weapons were used.
After much discussion, they finally came to a conclusive answer.
About half an hour later, regarding Japan...
His Majesty the Emperor, who was personally leading the demolition of the Yasukuni Shrine, received a phone call from his assistant in front of countless protesters chanting curses outside the Yasukuni Shrine.
Listen carefully, and then... (a series of exclamations of "Hah!")
His Majesty the Emperor nervously dialed a number.
After the call connected, His Majesty the Emperor spoke cautiously into the phone.
"My lord, the Americans have sent you the location you require."
As you might expect, they did indeed pinpoint their location to the center of the Sahara Desert.
The time is three days later, which is Miss Thursday.
Your arrival time is flexible, and even whether the operation will begin will be decided after your arrival.
In short, the US side indicated that they are ready to begin at any time and will do their best to accommodate your little hobby.
Yes, that's it, hey, I got it, hey!!!
At this point, His Majesty the Emperor hung up the phone and nervously wiped away his sweat.
Then he looked up at the Yasukuni Shrine, which was mostly demolished, and gently shook his head.
Why.
The Prime Minister died a terrible death, a truly terrible one.
I must never follow in the Prime Minister's footsteps!
With this in mind, he quickened his pace and completely ignored the surrounding protests.
What a load of rubbish! He's the Emperor, after all. He's just tearing down a shrine meant for mourning. What right do ordinary people have to stop him?
Meanwhile, in Anteiku.
After Gawain hung up the phone, everyone around him immediately looked over.
