Bioelectric Aura, Black Flash!
Inside the lavish conference room, the Five Elders sat on several gold-threaded sofas, the air thick with a chilling, menacing atmosphere.
The scarred, crew-cut Warrior God of Finance slammed his hand on the long table, his rough voice filled with displeasure:
"Outrageous! The Shadow Garden is wantonly slaughtering nobles of Affiliated Nation and even wants to overthrow the World Government. This rebellious force has gained momentum and can only be eradicated to prevent future troubles!"
He had barely finished speaking when the Beard, Warrior God of Science and Defense objected:
Do you think wiping them out is easy?
With that damned Space-Space Devil Fruit User around, even if we send out the Three Admirals, it will be difficult to wipe him out.
Moreover, we have no idea where the Shadow Garden's stronghold is. They're like Nezumi lurking in the shadows, ready to bite us at any moment, but we can't catch them.
Therefore, we should grant them titles like the Shichibukai. This way, we'll have a rope tied around them, which is much more cost-effective than expending a lot of effort to encircle and suppress them!
For a time, the two argued incessantly.
At this moment, the short, bald Warrior God of Justice made a decision. "Since neither of us can convince the other, let's use both policies simultaneously. On the surface, we'll promise them the location of the Shichibukai, while secretly searching for their stronghold and then annihilating them!"
The other four Five Elders exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
I second that!
I second that!
The policy regarding Shadow Garden has been decided.
However, something that left the Five Elders helpless soon happened.
No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of any member of the Shadow Garden.
They had plans, but no way to implement them.
Ivan, of course, was unaware that his existence had already attracted the attention of the world's most powerful organization.
He is still patrolling the waters near Alabasta.
[You are deeply admired by the oppressed masses, [Homelander] approval rating +20%]
[Template: Homelander (Approval Rating: 36%)]
[Congratulations! You have acquired the skill: Bioelectric Aura!]
[Bioelectric Aura: A special field formed on the body surface, possessing unique abilities such as defense, buffering, and environmental adaptation.]
The Bioelectric Aura greatly enhanced Ivan, as if an invisible shield had been built around his body, significantly improving his defensive capabilities.
More importantly, with the Bioelectric Aura, he can fly using it, at a speed much faster than relying on the "Azure" Cursed Technique Lapse!
[As a powerful being, you punish evil and slay demons; [Satoru Gojo]'s approval rating +15%]
[Template: Satoru Gojo (Approval Rating: 92%)]
[Congratulations! You have acquired the skill: Black Flash!]
[Black Flash: Relying on a special technique, black Inazuma around the attack, causing massive additional damage. Extremely difficult to trigger.]
Upon seeing the changes to Satoru Gojo's Echo template, Ivan involuntarily tightened his grip on the cola.
After Satoru Gojo Satoru's approval rating increased to over 90%, he gained a new skill: Black Flash!
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Black Flash requires the most precise control over Cursed Energy power to activate. It has adapted to the rules of the One Piece world and undergone some changes, making it equally difficult to activate.
Although the Black Flash has many flaws, its merits outweigh its flaws.
The massive damage provided by Black Flash alone is enough to make up for all the shortcomings!
That's the beauty of numbers!
Suddenly, Ivan realized that when Black Flash was triggered, it would be enveloped in black Inazuma —how similar was this to the Conqueror's Haki Coating?
Perhaps, Black Flash could be used as a form of Conqueror's Coating!
Moreover, Ivan is absolutely confident that Awakening Conqueror's Haki, and Black Flash can also be combined with Conqueror's Coating.
When the two are combined, Ivan can't imagine how powerful that attack will be!
Besides these two templates, the other two templates have also been improved to varying degrees.
The approval rating for the Yamato template increased by 5%, Minato Namikaze template by 10%, but neither gained any new skills; they only provided a slight boost to Ivan's physical attributes.
Aside from the change in template, under Kizaru's intense pursuit, Ivan was just one step away from unlocking the threshold of Observation Haki and Awakening dual-color Haki.
While Nami and the others weren't paying attention, Ivan created several Wood Clones, which searched in different directions for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Tribute.
Just then, a News Coo flew by. Ivan's eyes flickered slightly, and he used Geppo to rush into the Sky Manipulation and arrive in front of the News Coo.
The sudden appearance of a figure caught the News Coo off guard, causing it to crash directly into Ivan's chest. If Ivan hadn't reached out and grabbed it in time, the poor little creature would probably be dead.
Once the News Coo came to its senses, Ivan handed it one hundred Beli and smiled, "A newspaper, thank you."
Realizing what Ivan was about to do, the News Coo's face visibly turned red.
No, it's just buying a newspaper, why are you rushing up into the sky to scare the birds?
Despite its dissatisfaction, the News Coo dared not act recklessly in front of Rear Admiral White Dove, and could only reluctantly hand a newspaper to Ivan.
However, when Ivan put a pastry in its mouth, the News Coo burst out laughing, cawing incessantly, bowing to Ivan before leaving.
"Ivan, come down quickly, let's see the latest news too!" Nami urged from the top deck.
Ivan landed on the deck and saw Nami having sunscreen applied by Tashigi.
Nami lay on the beach chair with her hands under her chest, revealing her snow-white back and two majestic snow-capped peaks.
The plus-size swimsuit couldn't completely cover her snow-capped peaks, revealing two patches of white flesh. Below the white flesh was her perfectly sculpted back. She was far less mature than she would be three years later, but her figure was still hot, and her exquisite curves were incredibly alluring.
This tempting scene made Ivan pause for a moment, and with his increasingly amazing physique and vigorous energy, he involuntarily bent over.
Without making a sound, Ivan used the Life Return to avoid revealing any terrifying anomalies that might frighten the two girls. He lay on the beach chair next to Nami, reading this issue of the World Economy News Paper.
Before long, two fiery bodies appeared on either side of him. Nami said impatiently, "Ivan, I told you I want to see it too. Turn to the Shadow Garden page."
"That's right, that's right, I also want to know what Shadow Garden has been up to lately."
Feeling the soft, smooth texture on his arms, Ivan sighed and obediently rolled over onto his back.
To his surprise, the back of the screen was filled with messages from the Shadow Garden.
[The World Government sincerely invites Tanuki to replace Hanafuda as Shichibukai!]
[The Tanuki's massacre of Water 7, killing hundreds, is it a sign of moral decay or a distortion of humanity?]
[We are those who lurk in the Shadow, those who hunt in the Shadow. The Shadow Garden warns all underground forces on the high seas!]
After looking at it carefully several times, Nami excitedly shook Ivan's arm. "Ivan, look! The Shadow Garden has done another great thing!"
Although Ivan, Nami, and others belong to the Navy, what they uphold in their hearts is justice, not the World Government.
Therefore, they do not feel disgust towards the Shadow Garden, which punishes evil and promotes justice; on the contrary, they are extremely excited.
