Starfish World, Impel Down, Eternal Hell.
In a cell made entirely of reinforced steel, there was an old man, disheveled in appearance and an aura that exuded decay. His body was covered in filth, and a nauseating stench perated the air.
He was wearing a green ring around his neck, while he stared at a docunt he had just received.
He looked completely focused.
There weren't actually many words on the docunt, but the nas Monkey D. Garp and Edward Newgate stood out, and Shiki's eyes constantly moved between the two.
Next to Shiki, you can see a Den-Den Mushi sleeping with its eyes closed.
It was a device sent directly by the High Command of the World Governnt to keep him inford.
Through this, Shiki had closely followed the events of the war between the World Governnt and the other worlds.
At first, the war against the Kabane World and the Demon Slayer World hadn't caught his interest much.
But everything changed with the appearance of the World of the Titans.
Perhaps the isolation in this grim, eternal prison had begun to weigh on him. Or perhaps the death of Byrnndi World had shaken him deeply.
Or perhaps it was the image of an endless horde of Titans, sixty ters tall, invading the red earth continent like a tsunami that moved him.
Shiki could no longer suppress his inner fire.
And when he finally saw the epic battles in the Teigu World, with Kaido severely injured by ballistic missiles, Bullet transford into a thousand-ter giant that crushed mountains, and the titanic showdown between Sakazuki and Guren, the fire in his chest overflowed.
Finally, after witnessing the devastation on the high seas unleashed by the Ancient Dragon, Black Marlin, and Kuzan in another world, Shiki could no longer contain his impulse and boiling blood.
He grabbed the Den-Den Mushi and contacted Kong.
However, to preserve his pride, he made one demand: he wanted the position of Marshal of the Air Force.
In Shiki's opinion, he was more than qualified to be the Marshal of the World Governnt's Air Force.
The current Marshal, Zephyr, although his strength was not bad, was not his opponent at all back then. As for the current Air Force General, Kaido...
Hehe... What is Kaido? When he was one of the Rocks Pirates' cadres, that kid was just an intern!
So how can he be on equal terms with Kaido?
Being the Marshal, for him, was the only reasonable option.
But what Shiki didn't expect was that the World Governnt would bluntly reject his request.
Instead, he was offered an alternative: he could compete for a position as an Air Force general, but first he had to choose an opponent between Garp and Whitebeard.
If he wins, he will be the general he despises, and if he loses, he will only be a General Candidate with the rank of Lieutenant General?
Shiki was very angry. He felt that the World Governnt underestimated him.
But the temptation of free air and fighting in other worlds forced him to suppress these dissatisfactions and carefully consider his opponents.
"The World Governnt promised to help take away the rudder above my head. Then when my body recovers completely, I think it won't take long for my strength to return to its peak."
Shiki didn't think that three years would have much impact on him.
"I probably can't beat Newgate. It seems that there is actually no choice."
After a mont, he made a decision.
Then he shouted to the two n in black who were guarding outside the cell: "Hey, you brats out there! Co in imdiately, I've already made a decision!"
...
World of the Titans, Noah's Ark.
Imu sat quietly in the study, going through a stack of governnt docunts on the table.
While flipping through the docunts, Imu learned that Queen Otohi had completed a speaking tour in the major capitals and cities of the Demon Slayer World.
It was evident that Queen Otohi deeply enjoyed her current job.
Her speeches, which focused on letting go of past grudges and working together toward a better future with the inhabitants of Starfish World and other worlds, had made a significant impact.
In fact, a large number of people in the Demon Slayer World gradually stopped caring about the war between the two sides in just the past two years.
In fact, according to observations by Cipher Pol staff, many inhabitants of the Demon Slayer World had beco true admirers of Queen Otohi.
So even followed her from city to city and even from country to country, as if they were fervent fans chasing a star of the show.
"It seems I underestimated Queen Otohi's impact." Imu mused. "When the situation in Teigu World stabilizes, it would be best to send her to give speeches there as well."
However, there was one interesting detail: Queen Otohi refused to have the texts of her speeches prepared by others. She always insisted on writing, morizing, and delivering them herself. This demonstrated her desire to avoid falling under the excessive control of the World Governnt.
Imu didn't mind in the slightest. He knew that Otohi's Kenbunshoku Haki skills were only effective when the content ca from her genuine convictions. Forcing her would be useless.
...
Teigu World, Imperial Capital, Royal Palace.
The emperor and all the civil and military officials had gathered once again.
The reason was that the diplomatic team previously sent to the Dinsional Gate base had returned.
At this mont, the emperor was sitting on the throne, his expression impassive as he watched those present read the transcribed copies of the reports.
From his position, he could clearly see how, one by one, the faces of the officials went from astonishnt to obvious terror.
The report detailed how a vast expanse of land, comparable in size to the entire Empire, had been transford into a military base by the world governnt, as well as industrial areas equivalent to entire countries dedicated solely to the production and supply of military equipnt.
The delegation had brought with them a Den-Den Mushi with recordings of aerial shots of the military and industrial area of the World of the Titans.
The images showed military installations stretching as far as the eye could see, terrifying armies with millions of soldiers, trenches that crisscrossed like an imnse labyrinth for hundreds of kiloters, and endless lines of fortifications, anti-aircraft guns, heavy artillery, armored tanks and military trucks.
In the sky, fighter planes roared as they flew in formation, and huge warplanes floated majestically among the clouds.
There were images of factories covering the horizon, their chimneys belching out columns of black smoke that darkened the sky. Assembly lines where titans operated, moving tirelessly, producing weapons, vehicles and ammunition in unimaginable quantities. Industrial towers, loaded with heavy machinery, rose like iron colossi while mountains of rubble and molten tal were transported by countless titans.
All of this gave the impression that the world governnt had turned an entire world into a place dedicated solely to war.
These shocking images left the Emperor, Najenda, Shaur and other officials frozen with fear.
Only Dr. Stylish showed a gleam of excitent and fascination in his eyes.
At this point the Emperor no longer wants to continue fighting against the World Governnt.
On the contrary, joining the World Governnt seems like a very promising option to him.
Not to ntion, it seems like their side has a chance to beco the first otherworldly force to join the World Governnt...
As emperor, he understood only too well the political value involved.
From the perspective of the Teigu World, being the first foreigner to join the World Governnt would undoubtedly guarantee preferential political treatnt in the future.
As for whether the Empire would be the first otherworldly nation to join the World Governnt, the Emperor was fully confident of it.
After all, their nation was the most powerful and also the first to send a diplomatic delegation to the World Governnt.
After giving them enough ti to review all the information, the emperor looked at his ministers calmly before speaking: "Dear Ministers, I have decided to cease hostilities with the world governnt and submit a formal request to join them. Does anyone have any objections?"
Although he appeared calm, deep down he felt deep unease. But the overwhelming force of the world governnt had driven them to this desperate decision.
The ministers, after looking at each other, finally replied in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! We will obey your command."
The emperor sighed internally. This 'we will obey your command' was simply a way of shifting all responsibility onto him.
"Then it is decided." Then, he turned to Shaur and said: "Shaur, after the court, use the Den-Den Mushi to contact the World Governnt. Let them know our intention and ask what procedures we must follow to join."
"As you command, Your Majesty!" Shaur replied solemnly.
The Emperor nodded and then looked at Budo. "Has General Bulat's body been found?"
Budo replied in a heavy voice: "Your Majesty, due to the chaos during the battle, I was unable to recover General Bulat's body. Furthermore, Lieutenant General Leone's situation is also uncertain."
"I understand..." The Emperor muttered with a long sigh. "How unfortunate. It seems we will have to build a cenotaph for him."
As he said this, he thought to himself: 'The Teigu Incursio is now lost... What a waste.'
