Cooperation with the West
What kind of spectacle is the alternation of day and night in London?
<Shocking! This actually happened in London at night?>
London experiences a once-in-a-millennium epic earthquake.
Sitting in the luxurious reception room of Reverse London, Tsuna and the others were flipping through the latest printed newspaper. The newspaper contained two articles, and most of them had the same expressions, beginning to guide the residents to believe the claims that London had been hit by a disaster.
After using spiritual pressure to cover it, you will see entirely new content, which is a report only for the residents of Reverse London who know of the existence of dragons.
The content about Reverse London doesn't have many fancy titles. It truthfully records the battle between the West Bureau and the Fairy Tale Dragon, and records the weaknesses of the Fairy Tale Dragon one by one, hoping that more people can understand it and maybe it will come in handy someday.
The Reverse London reports devoted a significant portion to describing old Billy's heroic deeds and thanking him for his contributions to the battle. Billy Wolfgang, as he put it, vindicated the hero.
The content directed at London, however, primarily characterizes the events in London as a natural disaster.
The gist of the story is that a once-in-a-millennium earthquake struck, causing underground gas pipelines to rupture. This, combined with the accidental introduction of flammable and explosive gases, resulted in a massive explosion throughout London. The underground fire ignited by the gas turned London into a scorching hot plate.
As for the bright sunlight caused by Tsuna's act of saving people, it was described as a once-in-a-millennium phenomenon. The simultaneous occurrence of disaster and miracle caused a stir throughout London, and the residents' grief over the deaths of their relatives and friends was also diverted.
"Your West Bureau's contingency plans are really quick; the disaster relief efforts are on track so fast," Tsuna said to Bruno.
"It's all thanks to everyone's hard work. The Development Squad is responsible for public opinion dissemination and technical support, the Tactical Squad and the management team use force to demolish the ruins, our Magic Formation Team and Joka Squad are responsible for reconstruction, the Holy Affairs Team provides healing, and the Flute Squad is responsible for providing auxiliary work."
Bruno explained the current disaster relief arrangements in Reverse London to Tsuna and the others, saying, "As for the residents of London, we can only let them sleep a little longer. It's not appropriate to display superhuman power to the public."
Like Seireitei, Reverse London also had hypnotic and brainwashing items to deal with ordinary people who saw dragons.
"Dragons? Hollows can certainly save a lot of effort when it comes to disaster relief." Hirako was unusually serious.
"Yes, London's rapid development over a thousand years is inseparable from the help of our companions," Bruno affirmed, just like his Rickenbacker, who had long regarded the dragon as his companion.
"If I could, I'd really Kisuke to go see it in person. Kisuke always made me take lots of pictures before we set off," Hirako complained, pulling out her phone.
"No problem, I'll contact Roy, the captain of the Joka Squad, right away." Bruno was eager for someone to share the burden with him, since the captain wouldn't be personally involved in the reconstruction anyway; Roy was just a supervisor.
"What about you guys? Do you want to come along?" Hirako turned to Toshiro and Byakuya and asked.
"Compared to disaster relief, I'm more interested in how dragons are used in daily life," Toshiro said.
Riding the train transformed from a Hollow gave him a great shock, completely different from what he had learned at the academy that Hollows were all evil and the opposite of Bleach.
"Let Tatsuki and Orihime accompany you. They've been exploring a lot these past few days and know the basics of Reverse London very well," Tsuna said.
"Okay." Although he didn't really want to go shopping with two women, Toshiro accepted Tsuna's suggestion rather than going with people he didn't know well.
"Captain Bruno, could you give me a map of Reverse London? If so, I'd like to bring my wife along next time." Byakuya made no attempt to hide his love for his wife.
Compared to the ruins of Outer London, Reverse London only had a few large holes blown up by Bambietta, but it didn't affect its overall appearance, and Byakuya thought it was worth a visit.
"That's easy." Bruno handed three brand-new cell phones to Hirako other two. "These have our contact information for Reverse London and Sawada-sensei. Please use these phones while you're in London."
"If any of you in the East Bureau encounter any problems, you can directly call the Development Squad. They have team members on hand to serve you 24 hours a day. The credit limit on your mobile phones has been increased to unlimited, so feel free to spend as much as you like. Sawada-sensei, it's the same for you."
Unlimited spending is already the minimum gratitude for Tsuna and the others' help. Tsuna is still having a headache Wolfgang what kind of thank-you gift they need when they leave.
With most of the people he was supposed to receive dispersed, Bruno immediately felt relieved. He no longer needed to maintain a basic diplomatic image when interacting with Tsuna and the others, unlike when he was with Hirako and the others.
Bruno had just begun to relax when Wolfgang walked in, giving Bruno a subtle glare. Bruno immediately sat up straight, like a mouse before a cat.
Wolfgang is the captain of the Personnel Punishment Team, which simply means he has the power to punish captains like Bruno. In Reverse London, the only person Bruno fears is Wolfgang.
"Sawada-sensei, we've discussed it, and the state of alert will remain in place for another two days. There's no other way; London needs too much manpower and resources to recover." Wolfgang immediately brought up the issue that had been of greatest concern to him and Tsuna.
"Two days should be enough. The three of us will expand the search area during these two days."
Chad rested in the hospital, while Tatsuki and Orihime accompanied Toshiro out. Tsuna deliberately left Ichigo and Uryū behind, hoping to expand the search area since the three of them were more sensitive to Reishi.
"Okay, we'll have Bruno accompany him." Wolfgang didn't even ask any questions before deciding on Bruno's next steps.
"Then, the second thing is that, on behalf of the WB Natural Dragon Management Bureau, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for everyone's help." Seeing Wolfgang stand up and bow, Bruno also stood up abruptly.
"Of course, our families and companions are here too." Tsuna and the other two stood up in response.
"To express my gratitude, I have already asked the Development Squad to summarize the dragon-related technologies developed in London over the past thousand years. I hope you won't find it inadequate."
This was the best way Wolfgang could think of to express his gratitude. Besides finding the Quincy, Tsuna and his group also had another purpose for their trip: to investigate the feasibility of dragon-human coexistence and development. Presenting technology as a gift was a good choice.
To Wolfgang's surprise, Tsuna did not accept the gift. "Technology? Rather than completely copying London's technology, I would prefer to develop roads with a distinctively Japanese style."
The situation in Karakura Town is different from that in London. There is a stable Hueco Mundo, and there are Arrancar managing Hueco Mundo. Simply copying London's development model is definitely not feasible. They also need to consider the feelings of the Arrancar.
Furthermore, Tsuna has more faith in the development capabilities of scientists Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri than in the technology provided by London. If these people aren't given something to do, they'll quickly catch up with London's current pace, and who knows what incredible things they might research.
"If possible, we may send more people to London for study and observation in the future. We would appreciate it if the Reverse London could host them then," Tsuna said.
"Of course, no problem." Wolfgang agreed immediately to such a small matter, but there was still hesitation in his voice, "However, this matter is nothing compared to your contribution to London."
Tsuna looked thoughtfully at Hirako and the others' seats, then suggested after a moment, "If possible, how about the East and West unite to build a railway?"
"The railway?" This was a solution Wolfgang hadn't considered.
"My comrades, the captains of the East Bureau, have traversed countless wastelands to reach Reverse London. If possible, I hope this journey can be made more comfortable and convenient, which will also benefit future personnel exchanges between the two sides." Tsuna briefly described the hardships Hirako and the others had endured.
"Of course, you'll need to provide the technology first. The West Bureau will cooperate in operation, using this virtual dragon train model. If a suitable dragon train isn't available, the East Bureau can provide one."
Tsuna too complicated; the important thing was to connect the two places first, and leave the rest to those shady merchants in Seireitei.
"That's not too difficult, it just will take a while." Wolfgang quickly considered it and agreed to Tsuna's proposal. "However, this project can only be implemented after London has recovered, which will probably take three to six months."
Three to six months is the time it takes for Magicians to intervene. If people were to repair themselves naturally, it might be faster to rebuild the city in another location.
But WB will certainly not give up London. Reverse London was built on London, and if Outer London is lost, many of Reverse London's facilities will also become useless, which would be an even greater waste for WB.
After discussing some details with Wolfgang, Tsuna, along with Ichigo, Uryū, and Bruno, went out to investigate the situation near London.
During his battle with the red-skirted doll, Bruno's control over the Hirenkyaku magic increased dramatically, allowing him to barely keep up with Tsuna others.
Outside London, Wandenreich lurks in the shadows. Despite being impeccably clean and presenting a comfortable and livable scene, this small town shows no signs of human activity.
The stove was still warm, but the entire city was deserted. The only sign of life in the city was buried deep underground, surrounded by a dense Reishi like mist.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, I hope you like the gift I left for you." At the forefront of the army, inside a cross-shaped coffin, a scraggly man sneered.
