A heart-stopping sound of footsteps came from far away. Those familiar with this sound could immediately recognize that it was the sound of the Army's latest long leather boots stepping on the ground.
In the stargate base of the Kabane world, the entire steel gate is completely open.
Senior Director O'Connor, who is in charge of managing this place, is leading four junior officials in the same suits and ties. He looks up to the other end of the red earth and sees an army all wearing black clothes, black boots, black guns, and long black sheathed swords at their waists.
of brigade soldiers.
The sound of neat footsteps seemed to make the red earth tremble slightly, and even the personnel of various departments who had not come out of the base could clearly feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Is this the momentum of an army of 20,000..."
Senior Director Onacon put his hands behind his back and looked at the approaching army, his mood was inexplicably affected and became surging.
He has received notification from the people above to carry out comprehensive development for the convenience of subsequent administrative staff, technical staff, and labor staff.
The Army Headquarters will dispatch 20,000 troops to the world of Kabane, led by Lieutenant General Douglas Barrett, who will be responsible for clearing Kabane in Japan and occupying all large and small 'stations' and important mineral resources.
Adding to the 7,000 soldiers already on the other side, the world of Kabane is about to face a conquest of nearly 30,000 troops!
"I don't know how long it will take to send so many people there..." one of the division-level officials also said with emotion.
You must know that there are tens of thousands of people, and it is boundless, not to mention 20,000 fully armed soldiers. Just looking at the scale of the vermilion dust rising in the distance is enough to be intimidating.
The width of the small star gate is only two meters, which allows at most two people to enter side by side, but when it comes to larger ones, only one person can pass through.
"Compared with time, is the disinfectant spray at the biochemical safety station enough?" Senior Director O'Connor turned his head and looked at another division official.
“It’s full, no problem!”
"Um."
Senior Director O'Connor nodded with satisfaction. At this time, another subordinate laughed and said: "Actually, I think this disinfection process can be cancelled. Didn't the Biochemical Research Institute say that no harmful substances were found in the air of Kabane World?
, and Kabanevirus is not airborne.”
"You are wrong. The Institute of Biochemistry said that no harmful substances have been found yet, and it is not disinfected. What should we do if people here bring some kind of virus to Kabane World?"
Senior Director O'Connor strongly disagreed with this person's view and said: "As long as the Institute of Biochemistry does not send a report canceling the disinfection process, we must act in accordance with the regulations and don't be too troublesome!"
"yes!"
Ten minutes later, the biochemical security station in the base became busy, especially the electrical gates that were constantly opening and closing.
But even so, the army soldiers standing in line at the door can't be seen at a glance. On the other side, in the Kabane world headed by Senior Director Addison, the electrical gates of the Hart Star Gate base are also constantly opening and closing, spitting out a stream of
Group after group of army soldiers.
Not far away, Douglas Barrett crossed his arms and raised his chin, quietly watching the troops under his command continue to grow and grow.
The flaming clouds in the sky until dusk seemed to indicate that this country, and even the whole world, was about to fall into war. The red ground glowed like fire and blood.
At this moment, he inexplicably came up with the idea of being lucky that he had been captured by the navy before, otherwise he might not have had the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of troops to fight in another world.
Compared with the present and the future, my previous experience as a pirate, to be honest, I felt a bit petty.
Compared with a behemoth of the size of the World Government, not to mention the Roger Pirates, even the Whitebeard Pirates, the BigMoom Pirates, and the Sky Pirates combined can only be said to be nothing more than that...
....
Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand worlds, tens of thousands of worlds, now look at the name of the sea area "New World", it sounds really ridiculous and generous, I don't know what it means!
What Douglas Barrett didn't know was that in the world on the other side, on the polar ice continent of Starfish's homeland, there was also a man looking up at the sky.
It's just that it's already night here.
Snow-capped mountains stand in the starry sky, like silver giants, overlooking the entire ice world.
But as spectacular as it was, it still didn't make this man's eyes sway, just because the aurora above the iceberg flickered, from light to dark, from green to red, floating lightly among the infinite Milky Way.
.
"There are such stunning and beautiful scenes in the world. This scene alone makes me feel that my trip is worthwhile..."
The man standing by the igloo window sighed sincerely.
"But Lieutenant General Aokiji, we haven't completed our mission of coming all the way here. If we go back without getting anything, all the time we spent traveling here will be in vain!"
Captain Charles, who was also wearing a white coat of justice behind him, complained helplessly after hearing this.
"Alala, this is indeed a headache..." Kuzan rubbed the back of his head in distress, and finally moved his eyes away from the aurora.
These people have been in this continent full of white snow and ice for a few days, and they finally found the so-called 'Jade Iceberg' the day before yesterday.
At that time, all the navy and officials took a breath when they saw the river-like golden water under the transparent ice, because there were so many treasures. Some people even felt that they were more precious than before.
The one piece treasure is even more exaggerated.
But before these people could cheer for long, they heard Lieutenant General Aokiji saying that he seemed unable to open it!
After subsequent tests, it was proved that it could not be opened.
Although he is a user with the natural frozen fruit ability, he can only control the ice created by himself before awakening, and cannot control the natural ice from the outside world at all.
This made everyone extremely disappointed. Some people even lay on the ice and sighed looking at the treasure inside, as if it was theirs after taking it out...
But you can't sail for nearly a month and only stay for a few days before returning empty-handed, right?
Therefore, Kuzan decided to wait and see. In the dark, he always had a feeling that his chance of awakening was probably right here, but after two days of research, nothing happened.
"Lieutenant General, there is news from the headquarters that we should try our best to return to Marineland within a month. It is said that the Supreme Government Council is about to be held!"
"What does the Government Assembly have to do with our navy?"
Kuzan looked at the colonel confused, but the latter smiled and said: "It is said that the Navy will also hold an internal high-level meeting that day. Except for those who cannot go back due to special circumstances, all lieutenants will attend."
"Alalalala, doesn't that have nothing to do with us? We are in a special situation now."
At this time, Kuzan, who is still passionate, dislikes meetings the most. Of course, even if he is not passionate, he will not like it.
Then Kuzan set his sights on the ice and snow mountains under the aurora, and sighed in his heart: "Awakening, awakening, how to awaken?"
He didn't understand how Porusalino and Sakaski could wake up easily, but it took so much effort and thought to get to him.
"When given the right opportunity, a person with abilities will awaken when their body and mind catch up with their abilities..."
This is the most eye-catching sentence in the information about the awakening of Devil Fruit abilities that Kuzan received from the Navy Headquarters.
"Is it really because my strength has not reached the level of awakening?"
