"This should delay them for a while, don't you think?"
"Well, that giant who died in the explosion is an important mber of their team. They won't be back here anyti soon."
"Then we can proceed to the next step. I hope it works."
"You and I both know that it is impossible. In the end, we will still lose. You will die, and I will continue to be imprisoned here and work for them. It is just a matter of ti."
"I know, but... we can only try to delay that day as much as possible. Not just for you and , but for everyone, so they can enjoy one more day of freedom."
...
Starfish World.
The death of Byrnndi World was a heavy blow to the world governnt. It destroyed their pride and complacency gained from conquering two worlds.
Everyone finally understood that wars against other worlds carry real risks of death, even for generals.
In the eting room of the headquarters of the Ard Forces.
As minister, Kong sat at the head of the table.
At his side were Raymond, Marshal of the Army and Air Force, and Sengoku, Marshal of the Navy.
Then there was Admiral Garp, Army General Sakazuki, Air Force General Borsalino, and Air Force General Kaido.
Also present were the Minister of the Military and Political Departnt, Zephyr, the Minister of the General Staff, Tsuru, as well as Whitebeard, and Big Mom, who was given the honorary rank of general.
"Counterattack! We must counterattack!" Raymond slamd the table and said angrily: "This is unacceptable. We must retaliate for this enormous loss."
He was truly angry. Not because he had a close relationship with Byrnndi World, but because the first high-level combat power to fall in battle belonged to his Army.
Being demoted from Commander-in-Chief of the Ard Forces to Army Marshal already proved a problem, now, losing a general only made things worse.
"I also think we should fight back. If necessary, I can go to war!" Edward Newgate's expression was extrely cold, because Jozu was still lying on the hospital bed. Although he is no longer a pirate, his pirate temperant has not disappeared at all.
"I think we should first find out how they killed Byrnndi World and if they have even more powerful ans." Kong said, trying to remain calm in the face of the fury of those present.
"But we can't even get in the gate, how can we find out? Can we rely on Brook to wander around with his soul alone? How long will it take to find out?" Kaido asked impatiently.
"Hmph, I don't believe that the opponent's powerful attack appeared out of thin air. There must be a process of release or attack. Just figure out the principle and then find a way to deal with it!" Garp said.
Kong remained unmoved. "So, who's willing to go and check it out?"
"..."
The room was silent, then a soft knock on the door broke it.
"Co in."
"Minister, this is a report sent by the higher-ups. It says it contains a general introduction to nuclear weapons." An officer reported respectfully.
"Leave it here."
"Yes, sir."
Raymond asked in confusion: "What are nuclear weapons?"
Kong placed the papers in front of the Den-Den Mushi, then the docunts were projected onto the virtual screen.
"Let's take a look."
Within a few minutes, everyone had a basic understanding of nuclear weapons.
"Mamama~~ That is to say, the other party may have a lot of these nuclear weapons, which is really scary~~" Charlotte Linlin said, laughing with a smile that could only be described as eerie.
Raymond added: "However, I noticed that it says here that nuclear weapons emit radiation. However, the Biochemical Research Institute has not detected any nuclear radiation this ti."
The next day, the Five Elders authorized the Army to carry out a counterattack against the world of dinsional gate No. 3.
The Army imdiately requested ten Dyna Stones and asked the Academy of Sciences to combine them into a single bomb.
On the sixth day, Garp arrived at the newly rebuilt base and stood in front of the Dinsional Gate, next to him was a spherical bomb one and a half ters in diater.
Behind him, Brook sat with his soul already out of his body, ready to observe the effect of the explosion.
"Bwahaha! You little bastards from the other world, try my Genkotsu teor!" Garp laughed loudly as he threw the huge bomb. The air exploded in a white shockwave in front of him.
[Swoosh!]
After a short ti a bright purple light appeared on the horizon on the other side of the dinsional door.
...
"What?!"
"My Genkotsu teor didn't kill anyone?!"
Garp stared at Brook, who was standing up after regaining his soul.
"Yes, I saw a white arch-shaped wall appear in front of the enemy lines. It must have been about fifty or sixty ters high, looking as if it was made of wax. That was what blocked most of the Dyna Stone's explosive energy."
"Although the remaining energy was dispersed after the wall was breached, the enemy position was already empty. The soldiers should have been evacuated in advance. However, the bunkers, trenches and railway tracks in the position were blown up, so it was not ineffective." Brook tried to comfort Garp.
But his words only caused a series of black lines to appear on Garp's forehead, whose face darkened like that of a naughty child who doesn't like to lose.
"Yes, I understand."
At this point, Sengoku, with a resigned expression, interjected. "The enemy has a great ability to foresee the future. Moreover, no matter what we throw through the Dinsional Gate, the direction is fixed in a straight line. So it stands to reason that they have evacuated their people in advance."
The situation fell back into a stalemate again.
...
The next day during the early morning.
While the Other Worlds Strategic Committee and the High Command of the Ard Forces were holding an ergency eting, an unexpected incident beca an urgent report.
The exit of the dinsional gate had been sealed with an extrely strong crystal, coated with a layer of white wax-like material.
The Other Worlds Strategic Committee quickly dispatched an investigation team consisting of mbers of the Academy of Sciences, the Army Headquarters, and Cipher Pol.
"When did this happen?" Sakazuki asked, staring coldly at the four soldiers in charge of surveillance.
"Reporting to General Sakazuki! According to the Den-Den Mushi's reproduction, the crystal layer appeared just over an hour ago, and not long ago that white substance was added." The army soldier who answered the question gritted his teeth and said tremblingly. There was no way. It was indeed their fault this ti.
"And why didn't they realize it at the ti?"
"B-because it was transparent and there was not sound, and also..." Another army soldier hesitated.
Sakazuki looked at them expressionlessly and said, "Besides you weren't paying attention to the dinsional gate, right?"
"Y-yes, I'm very sorry, General Sakazuki."
The soldiers could only admit it nervously.
"Go out and receive your punishnt."
Sakazuki turned his head and ignored them.
At that ti, researchers from the Academy of Sciences used detection instrunts to analyze the composition of the crystal.
"The hardness and strength of this material are extrely high. Although it doesn't look thick and is transparent, it is sothing like the heart mbrane of a Kabane, but of a completely different category. If we were to compare it, it would be sothing similar to Lieutenant General Jozu's ability."
...
Soti later, inside the base of dinsional gate No. 0003, Garp appeared again in front of the dinsional gate.
"Sealing the gate in the middle of a fight, do you think this is child's play?"
Garp looked at the crystal and white matter in the dinsional gate with disdain and sneered.
"That won't do. We lost a general, five lieutenant generals, ten major generals and twenty or thirty CPs and researchers. It's wishful thinking to take advantage and run away!"
Garp knocked on the transparent glass with his knuckles and smiled widely. "It's pretty hard, but I don't know if it's harder than my iron fist."
Then he turned to the others and motioned for them to move away a little.
When everyone was ready, Garp prepared to try to destroy the crystal.
At that mont an anxious voice made him stop. "Hang on a minute!"
Annoyed, Garp turned around and growled. "Now what?"
"Admiral Garp, the COther Worlds Strategic Committee has ordered that the operation to break the crystal be stopped imdiately!" The officer said, visibly nervous.
"Why?" Garp looked at the officer strangely and received a docunt. Reading it, he frowned deeply and muttered: "How is that possible?"
...
Mary Geoise, Room of Authority.
The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. V. Nusjuro was the first to speak as he looked at the information in his hand. "Ubuyashiki Kagaya says that enemy troops will invade our world, turning the entire area around the Dinsional Gate into a battlefield!"
Warcury nodded coldly. "Yes, it says so here. He saw a large number of armored giants, fifty or sixty ters tall, entering through a huge dinsional gate, ravaging the Red Earth Continent, and our troops suffered heavy losses, including Kyojuro Rengoku and Gyoi Hijima, who had just been transferred."
"Humph, I never thought our world would be invaded..." Ju Peter showed an angry expression.
"That ans Imu-sama expanded the gate, and even though we broke the crystal blocking it, this allowed a massive invasion by the enemy."
Mars mused: "Besides, those armored giants are much taller than the Elbaf giants."
"Then, we must make a decision. Do we gather more troops and prepare for an all-out war by requesting Imu-sama to expand the gate, or do we maintain the current state and even ask Imu-sama to close it?" Warcury spoke gravely.
...
At the sa ti, on the moon, Imu also received the sa report. Reading about the fifty or sixty ter giants, he had an expression of understanding. "This is..."
Imu thought he knew what the other world was, but the description of armored giants made him doubt.
"It's not possible. If it really is the 'Rumbling,' why would they wear armor? Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't have the resources. Or is it not the 'Rumbling,' but so kind of cha or robot?"
