Chapter 153: Traveling through time! Tanjiro Kamado!
Chapter 153: Traveling through time! Tanjiro Kamado!
"It's just a fight between pirates. What does it have to do with us?"
Borsalino, who was about to be promoted to admiral of the navy, took the lead in setting the tone for the meeting.
Many generals in the headquarters nodded subconsciously, but of course there were also naval generals who did not agree with this negative attitude.
"He is the Pirate Emperor after all. If we allow them to swallow each other up, sooner or later, trouble will brew that is difficult to deal with."
The person who spoke was Vice Admiral Doberman, a representative of the Navy's hawkish faction who has always held a tough stance. He advocated that the Navy should interfere with and control the size and strength of the pirates as much as possible.
If it was a bloody fight between pirates, there would naturally be no need to intervene, but the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates that suddenly appeared clearly swallowed up the Beasts Pirates.
Even taking into account the period of adjustment, the Beasts Pirates have become much stronger than the original ones.
"In addition, we also need to obtain seastone from Wano Country. Once the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates successfully control Wano Country, it will not be so easy to obtain seastone..."
At this time, another lieutenant general of the headquarters, Onigumo, added that Wano Country, which has many excellent stonemasons, is the main production area of seastone.
Even during Kaido's rule over Wano Country, the Navy and the World Government obtained the seastone they needed from Wano Country.
Now that the Dark Matter Pirates have occupied Wano Country, no one knows whether these space pirates of unknown origin will continue their previous transactions with the navy.
"Seastone, why didn't we choose to bring Wano Country under our control?"
Borsalino touched his chin and asked in confusion. Given the importance of seastone, no matter how powerful the samurai of Wano Country are, it is unlikely that they can stop the navy.
But the problem is that the Navy and the World Government have endured for hundreds of years without taking any action. They would rather trade secretly with the Beasts Pirates than interfere in the affairs of Wano Country. This is undoubtedly a bit unreasonable.
The senior naval officials looked at each other, and for a moment no one could answer Borsalino's question.
"The secrets about Wano Country cannot be made public yet. If you want to know, I'll tell you later. Now, we should prioritize dealing with the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates."
Marshal Zhan Guo, who no longer needed to dye his hair, had a gray-white afro and explained calmly.
There are some secrets that only the Navy Admiral is qualified to know, especially when it comes to the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elder Stars.
"Then let's send someone to check first and see if those pirates are still willing to fulfill the agreement between the Beasts and us."
Borsalino spoke lazily, time was on his side, by the time the World Government and the Five Elders realized that something was wrong, Boros would have almost swallowed up both the Beasts and the Big Mom Pirates.
By then, even if the navy wanted to stop it, it would be doomed to be "powerless". After all, with Boros and two top-level warriors, the team is only stronger than the original Rocks Pirates.
Add to that the fact that Borsalino is the Admiral who is dragging his feet, and even the Five Elders can't think of commanding the Marine Headquarters.
"..."
Marshal Zhan Guo and Lieutenant General Ahe looked at each other quietly. Something seemed to be wrong. Based on their understanding of Borsalino, how could this guy get into the role so quickly?
However, no matter how wildly imaginative Marshal Sengoku was, he would never have imagined that Boros, who subdued Kaido and the Beasts Pirates, was actually sent by Borsalino.
The matters concerning the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates were discussed, and then the promotion ceremony for the Marine Marshal was discussed.
Different from the crude promotion ceremony in Marijoa, the real promotion ceremony for the Admiral of the Navy must be completed in the presence of tens of thousands of navy officers and all the senior navy officials in Marinvan.
As the new marshal, Borsalino will take over the scepter of the Navy Marshal from Marshal Sengoku under the watchful eyes of the public, which will officially complete his promotion.
It sounds like a simple process, but considering that most of the people attending the ceremony are senior naval officials with important responsibilities.
There are many people like Vice Admiral Jonathan who are responsible for guarding the naval branch. Appropriate planning must be done to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Of course, in Borsalino's opinion, this kind of thing is totally unnecessary. Anyway, he is determined to cause trouble. Even if the promotion ceremony is well prepared in advance, it cannot stop Borsalino, the highest-ranking "insider", from causing trouble.
"what is this?"
As soon as the meeting ended, Borsalino took two beautifully wrapped gift boxes and presented them to Marshal Sengoku and Lieutenant General Ahe respectively.
Marshal Zhan Guo, who had expected this, frowned slightly, wondering what Borsalino was up to.
"A very high-end gift box... a seven-day, seven-night ticket for the ultra-luxury casino ship Gran Tesoro?"
Lieutenant General Ahe opened the box casually and spoke in surprise.
The price tag is over 30 million berries. In order to actually buy it, you'll need at least 60 or 70 million berries, plus some luxury packages to pay for it.
"My ticket is a seven-day trip to Sky Island... Why are you so kind as to treat us to a vacation?"
Marshal Zhan Guo was a little confused and didn't understand Borsalino's intention of giving them tickets.
Moreover, he considerately scheduled the ship ticket for after the promotion ceremony. If Vice Admiral Ahe had not had a ticket, Marshal Sengoku would have thought that Borsalino could not wait to take the position of Admiral of the Navy.
"Because you've all worked so hard these years. You finally have the chance, so you need to rest for a few more days."
Borsalino replied with a smile, and calculated the time, by the time the promotion ceremony was over, Boros would be able to defeat the BIG MOM Pirates.
By that time, the Navy Headquarters would be having a collective holiday, and Borsalino had already made arrangements for some workaholics like Sakaski.
It will depend on how the Five Elders and the World Government respond in the future. In any case, the Navy will definitely not take the blame.
"Haha, then I will be disrespectful."
Although Marshal Zhan Guo felt something was wrong, he did not reject Borsalino's kindness.
If the time had been longer, he would probably have realized that something was wrong, but seven days was just an ordinary vacation no matter how you looked at it.
Marshal Sengoku could not have imagined, no matter how hard he tried, that Borsalino could come up with something new in such a short period of time.
"You should have made some preparations on Garp's side, right?"
Vice Admiral Ahe took the initiative to remind them that if they only prepared food for them but didn't include Garp, that old kid would make a fuss.
"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Garp and Marshal Sengoku both have a travel package to Sky Island, a luxurious seven-day tour! To be on the safe side, I have booked the entire tour group!"
Borsalino spoke very generously, saying that the entire tour group, as well as the Sky Island and the gambling boat, were all Borsalino's people, and even the newspapers of the day were fake ones prepared in advance.
As long as Marshal Sengoku and his men board the ship or Sky Island, their contact with the outside world will be immediately cut off to ensure that the World Government and the Five Elders cannot contact them.
At this time, the Five Elders did not know that Borsalino had already made up his mind to cheat them. Ever since obtaining the pure gold, Marijoa had been caught in an almost endless quarrel.
Even the dumbest Celestial Dragons would become a little smarter when faced with the temptation of pure gold, and even learn to unite to put pressure on the Five Elders.
Ordinary Celestial Dragons certainly have no way of making the Five Elders change their minds, but there are also superiors among the Celestial Dragons, especially the direct descendants of the twenty kings who founded the World Government.
Except for the Nefertari family, the only one who did not stay in Marijoa, the direct descendants of the remaining 19 kings are not ordinary Celestial Dragons who can be easily dismissed by the Five Elders.
This is also the main reason why such a big thing happened in Wano Country, but the Five Elders did not make much movement.
The Five Elders, who are trying desperately to keep the pure gold, no longer have the energy to deal with other matters. At least they have to wait until they reach a conclusion before they can devote their attention to dealing with the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.
As the promotion ceremony of the new navy marshal drew closer, more and more senior naval officials began to return to Marinford.
Although Hancock, who had a special identity, was very reluctant, she had to reluctantly say goodbye to Borsalino and return to Nine Snake Island early.
In order to prepare for the upcoming promotion ceremony of the Navy Marshal, the navies of each branch have spent a lot of effort to clear out the pirates in the surrounding waters to ensure that no pirates will pop up to cause trouble for them during the promotion of the new Navy Marshal.
“It doesn’t feel that much different from the original…”
Borsalino, wearing the marshal's uniform, stood in front of the mirror, looking at the handsome young man in the mirror casually.
I didn't expect that after traveling through so many years, a lazy guy like him would finally become a naval marshal.
"How can there be no difference? The epaulettes, cufflinks and sash buckles are all made of pure gold!"
Nami couldn't help but retort loudly, she couldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting such a valuable marshal's uniform!
"Okay, okay, I'll make you a suit of pure gold later."
Borsalino patted Nami's head affectionately, and when Nami took the new marshal's uniform and went to inform the logistics department to confirm the style, Borsalino, who was finally free, opened the chat group.
[A passerby who wanted to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Too brutal! You didn't see it at the time, I was so scared that I forgot to start the live broadcast! Thirty thousand people! They were all frozen into ice sculptures in one breath by the boss Esdeath! ]
[Xiao Lin: Scary! Is he so cruel? ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Just look at this picture to see how awesome it is, the whole mountain is frozen! ]
[Xiao Mei: So amazing! Even the Douhuang is no match for Miss Esdeath, right?!]
[Borussalino: What are you talking about? Thirty thousand people?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Big Brother Kizaru is finally here! Hurry up and take Big Brother Esdeath back. The people on Master Zhang's side are almost treating her as a fairy or a monster! ]
【Borusalino: Huh?】
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Wudang Mountain was surrounded by the Mongolian army. When the boss Esdeath found out about it, he ran over to help and froze Wudang Mountain into an iceberg in one breath...]
[Borusalino: So fierce? ]
[Esdeath: Darling! Let's fight again! ]
[Borsalino: Haha, well, the weather is nice today.]
Without waiting for Esdeath to reply, Borsalino decisively quit the chat group and rejected Esdeath's application to travel through time.
On the other side, Esdeath kept applying, but Borsalino rejected her again and again.
Marinford had just been repaired two days ago. If Esdeath came, it would have to be rebuilt on the spot. Borsalino had originally thought of inviting a few friends from the chat group to attend the promotion ceremony, but now he thought it was better to have less trouble than more.
After Esdeath finally gave up, Borsalino finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Esdeath, standing on the top of the iceberg, had a face as gloomy as water, scaring a group of Wudang disciples into trembling with fear.
No one knows where the master/grand master found such an ice witch. It is still a hot summer day, but there is a towering iceberg thousands of feet high next to us. Everyone can feel the chill in their hearts.
"I clearly did it according to Niu's instructions, why does my dear seem unhappy?"
Esdeath frowned slightly, not knowing how to win Borsalino's favor.
Is it because her strength is still not strong enough? It seems possible. She really needs to become stronger!
Unlike Aokiji who would not kill most of the time, most of the enemies frozen by Esdeath would die.
The tragic scene of 30,000 troops being frozen into ice sculptures at the foot of Wudang Mountain soon spread throughout the world, and everyone in the Yuan court, from the emperor to the soldiers, was in a state of panic.
The rebel forces in various places took advantage of the situation and rose up. They were unstoppable in attacking cities and capturing strongholds, and soon they were able to sweep across the country.
But that's all in the past. Just when Borsalino was about to contact Boros to inform him that he could continue the action, he found someone in the chat group looking for him.
[Orochimaru: @Borusarino @Kujo Jotaro, have you ever encountered an enemy who can control time before? ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Did Orochimaru say "smash Waldo"? 】
【Borusalino: Hmm? Any questions?】
[Jotaro Kujo: DIO's stand 'World' can indeed stop time. ]
[Orochimaru: Haha, I seem to have found the power to travel through time...]
[Borsalino: Huh? So awesome?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Holy shit! Could it be a dragon vein? ]
[Orochimaru: Are you interested in experiencing the feeling of traveling through time through the dragon veins...]
[Borsalino: It sounds interesting, but don't tell me you don't plan to do it yourself and let us be your test subjects for free? ]
[Orochimaru: It’s not free…]
[Tony Stark: That's more like it, but if the reward is not enough, Mr. Stark will not take the risk easily. ]
[Orochimaru: No, what I mean is that if you want to experience the feeling of traveling through time, you have to pay. Each person has to pay 200 dimensional coins.]
[Borsalino: …]
[Kobayashi: This sounds interesting. Can I freely choose the time to travel through?]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: I have a question, when did Big Brother Orochimaru become so... so strange? ]
[Orochimaru: Haha, Passerby-kun is now braver than before. ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Private Marseille! I was wrong! Big Boss, we can talk...]
[Borsalino: I'll sign up first. You can try it after we confirm it's not too dangerous.]
[The passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: I love you, you are worthy of being the boss Kizaru! ]
[Grayfield Ai: We have almost caught all the dinosaurs in the small garden. Do you need me to help you send them to Playboy? ]
[Borsalino: Of course, it just so happens that I don’t have to make a special trip.]
[Tony Stark: Wow! Is Mr. Stark's Jurassic Park finally going to live up to its name? ]
[Grayfield Ai: By the way, how long will it take to change me back to my original form? Didn't you say that you can wait until you become the admiral of the navy? ]
[Borusalino: Don't worry, I've already contacted Ain. Once you send the dinosaur over, you can go back to the headquarters with Vivian and the others. It will be just in time.]
[Hermione Granger: Wait a minute! When you say dinosaurs, do you mean what I understand? ]
[Kobayashi: Hmm? Isn't Hermione a magician? How could she be interested in dinosaurs?]
[Hermione Granger: It's a dinosaur! How could anyone not be interested?!]
[Kobayashi: Oh, is that so? If so, should I take Thor and Kanna to see the dinosaurs...]
[Tony Stark: If you are interested in dinosaurs, you are welcome to visit at any time. Mr. Stark's Jurassic Park is open to everyone for free! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: This is a childhood dream. How many species of dinosaurs are there now? How about I help find a few monsters to make up the number? ]
[Graybara Ai: Don’t make trouble, stupid dog. The creatures on Borsalino’s side are at least normal. There aren’t many normal ones on your side…]
[Borusalino: @Oshimaru, when you can experience time travel, remember to call me. ]
[Orochimaru: Oh, anytime is fine, but are you sure you won't delay the promotion ceremony? ]
[Borusalino: Let me think about it, let's wait a few days. After the promotion ceremony is over, it will be a good time to start playing badly.]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Playing badly? Isn't Mr. Kizaru going to be the admiral of the navy? ]
[Borsalino: Ah, some people don’t seem to be happy with me being the Admiral of the Navy, so I caused them a little trouble...]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: Scary, if it were me, I would never offend Big Boss Kizaru even if I die...]
[Ding, welcome Tanjiro Kamado to join the Dimension Chat Group! ]
[Xiao Lin: Wow! There's a new member joining! Throw flowers ~ Welcome the new member ~]
[Grayfield Ai: It's a newcomer, stupid dog, come out and identify the newcomer! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Hey! It's Tanjiro! Hello, brother-in-law! I'm your brother-in-law! ]
[Borsalino: Ahem, passerby, please calm down and don’t scare me…]
[Grayhara Ai: @Kamado Tanjiro, ignore that pervert, can you please try to introduce yourself? ]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Who are you? What is this? Am I still dreaming? ]
[Kobayashi: Well, he seems to be a young guy. Don't be nervous, Tanjiro-san. Everyone in the group is a good person.]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Are you all good people? My name is Tanjiro Kamado! Please give me your guidance! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Has Tanjiro joined the Demon Slayer Corps now? Have you met the scum boss? How is Nezuko now? ]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Nezuko! Do you know how to cure Nezuko!? ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious, let me confirm first, do you know Urokotaki? ]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Yes! Master Urokodaki is teaching me swordsmanship! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: OK, I roughly know what the situation is. First of all, welcome the brother-in-law to join the group ~ Spread flowers ~]
[Borsalino: Ahem, you passerby, bullying a newcomer will bring retribution.]
[Grayhara Ai: I don’t even know you! ]
[Fubuki: There's a new person here. Finally, a boy has come.]
[Tanjiro Kamado: I'm really sorry! But I want to know how to make Nezuko return to her original appearance! Can anyone here tell me? ]
[Grayhara Ai: If I'm not mistaken, Nezuko is your sister, right? She turned back to her original appearance? Your sister and I have a similar situation? Were both shrunk? ]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Nezuko... Nezuko turned into a demon... No! She just got sick! She didn't turn into a demon! She still remembers me and won't hurt anyone else! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Let me explain it briefly, brother-in-law... Ahem, in the world where Tanjiro lives, there is a man-eating monster called "oni"...]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: ...Demon blood is contagious...As for Nezuko, how should I put it, it is a special case for the time being...]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: ...So the easiest way is to kill that scumbag boss...Oh, that scumbag boss is Muzan Kibutsuji. He is generally called the scumbag boss because he is so scumbag.]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Muzan Kibutsuji... I won't let him go! 】
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng’s thighs: Well, although the saying goes that it is better to rely on yourself than on others, if you want to defeat the scumbag boss, my personal suggestion is to find external help...]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: Considering that Boss Xia has a bunch of little brothers, the only ones in our group who can surely take down Boss Xia are Boss Kizaru, Boss Orochimaru, and Boss Esdeath...]
[Tanjiro Kamado: Is this still possible? How can I get the big...big boss to help me? ]
[Kujo Jotaro: A cannibal who fears sunlight... sounds a lot like a vampire. Call me if you need help.]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: It’s good news that JOJO is willing to help, but it’s not enough. You have to find a way to get some big guys in the group to help…]
[Orochimaru: You have indeed made great progress compared to before, but I am not very interested in the "cannibal ghost" for the time being, so I'd better ask Borsalino-kun. ]
[Borsalino: Then I'll help you, but it'll take some time.]
