[The leader of Wano Country’s Third Investigation Team declares war on the World Government?!]
[The powerful man of the Heavenly Dragon Clan who suppressed all the Heavenly Men died violently in the Sky Tree]
[The Hulk transforms into the Red Giant, and it’s him behind the mask?!]
[The new leader of the Third Investigation Team was beheaded on the Sky Tree, declaring war? Dispute? Or civil strife? 】
【.】
March 27, 1122 in the Tianyuan Calendar.
In this era, there are many channels for information dissemination, and the speed is unimaginable.
Especially after Shin-Tokyo TV, which originally broadcast the fireworks festival celebrations, accidentally broadcast all this live, the news spread all over the world almost as soon as Hakutaku Kimura fell to the ground.
Perhaps for countless ordinary people in more than 300 large and small countries in this cross-continent of the world, this is just an ordinary day with some twists and turns.
However, for most people in Wano, a remote corner of the East China Sea, this was a night full of turmoil, chaos and fear.
Everyone in Wano who watched the live broadcast of Shin Tokyo Channel could not sleep peacefully on this drizzly night. The shock of that scene was still echoing in everyone's hearts.
First, Kimura Hakutaku, the leader of the third investigation team, suddenly made a speech that shocked everyone. The content was tantamount to Wano's declaration of war on the Celestial beings.
The most confused about this must be the official staff of Wano Country. No one knows why Captain Kimura, who is usually gentle and genial, went crazy after a week of business trip?
It doesn't matter if he goes crazy alone.
But don’t forget Kimura Hakutaku’s official status and the fact that the Third Investigation Team has always been directly responsible to the Office of the Prime Minister.
Many people immediately began to speculate whether it was the idea of the Prime Minister's Office behind this.
If this is really the case, doesn't it mean that they are unprepared to risk the entire country to fall out with the world government?
But do they have any chance of winning?
While countless people were panicking, Hakutaku Kimura was beheaded by that man on the Tembang Corridor without any warning.
Of course, compared to the big shots in Shangjing, what shocked them even more was the death of Abraham, the old man of the Tianlong clan.
Lost.
The old man is dead.
You know, in the eyes of ordinary people in Shangjing, he is an old man from the Tianlong clan who once owned a large area of wetland and lakeside park in the western suburbs of Shangjing, a wealthy and wealthy urban area.
He actually died in the hands of such a human being.
Yes, that's right, they are human beings.
The shrinking figure of Higashinohara when he killed Hakutaku Kimura undoubtedly proves that the demon-like body is just a physical ability of him as a human being, but don't forget that Abraham is a ninth-level power user.
What physical ability can arm-wrestle him?
At the same time, more people in Beijing paid attention to the two old men who were traveling with Abraham.
Walker of the Sky Serpent Tribe died at the Prime Minister's Night Banquet a week ago. Many secretly paying attention in Beijing already knew this, and most of them were ridiculing the greedy old man in their hearts.
But what about Vincent, the old man of the Skyhawk clan?
In the previous generation, the Celestial Being was also famous in the urban area of Shangjing. Shangjing even had a dojo founded by the old man, the Jiuki Nitōryu. Although Vincent almost never appeared in the dojo, only the disciples of Celestial Being accepted at that time were
He taught skills as a teacher, but also indirectly spread his reputation.
Such an old man
He obviously entered the boundary gate of the Sky Tree with Abraham, an old man from the Tianlong tribe, but why was Abraham the only one left when he came back?
What about Vincent from the Skyhawk clan?
Did he die behind the border gate?
etc!
Couldn't this be done by that man too?
For a moment, those in Shangjing who were secretly watching Wano through various channels fell silent.
Everyone began to re-examine the man wearing the dragonfly mask in Wano Country, and what shocked them even more was the terrifying growth rate.
Could it be that the powerful existence of "one person, one country" in the thousand-year history will really appear on the Cross Continent?
Although the few precedents in history ended with violent suppression by the world government and the overthrow of the country, if you think about it carefully, it should have not happened for many years, right?
The night is getting deeper.
Just when the Celestial Being family from various forces in the Kyoto metropolitan area fell into deep confusion and deep thought because of the news coming from New Tokyo tonight.
New Tokyo.
Kasumigaseki 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku.
This place is the gathering place for the administrative buildings of important departments in Wano. The night rain is pouring down along the bricks and tiles of the building, and some of the raindrops picked up by the night wind are knocking on the brightly lit glass windows late at night.
Climbing out of a leaf are mottled water stains like veins.
The Metropolitan Police Department, the Parliament Building, and the Office of the Prime Minister of the Provisional Cabinet. It is hard to imagine that the offices of Wano civil servants who usually get off work at midnight would work overtime on such a rainy night with bright and dazzling lights!
All the administrative staff and security personnel walked hurriedly through the different office buildings in this administrative area in the rain, nervously reporting the latest news they had just received to their immediate superiors.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The atmosphere also became more and more depressing.
parliament building,
Provisional Office of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
Since the official residence of the Prime Minister was turned into a ball of brilliant fireworks in a fire more than a week ago, the office of the interim Prime Minister has been moved to the parliament building, presumably waiting for the next formal election of the Prime Minister.
It may not be possible to renovate it after it is finished.
But tonight, no one cares about where the interim prime minister is working. Almost everyone's attention is focused on what happened at the Sky Tree Plaza.
Ta-ta-ta-!
The crisp leather shoes hit the floor tiles.
The new Foreign Minister and Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi, who is not tall and even somewhat short in stature, pushed open the revolving glass door of the parliament building and walked in.
In the past, Nobuo Kobayashi would even make some harmless jokes when he met the staff of the parliament building on the road.
Although the jokes he made were relatively cold at his age, they still made the young staff in the parliament building feel inexplicably friendly.
But tonight, the short man had a hurried expression and frowned. After entering the parliament building, he walked towards his office with a sullen head.
On the way, the staff noticed this man who had only been in office for less than two months but was getting older and more silent. No one would not be able to read the air and say hello at this time.
Everyone stays at their post,
Waiting for the order to be issued from the Office of the Prime Minister after tonight's turmoil.
The 23rd floor of the Parliament Building.
Office of the Prime Minister.
The short Nobuo Kobayashi stood on the floor-to-ceiling window of the office with his hands behind his back. The fluorescent lamp above his head illuminated his dark face full of ravines and wrinkles, and his temples were somewhat white at the age of more than 40 years old.
In terms of appearance alone, he, the interim prime minister, does look a lot worse than the previous "star grassroots lawmaker" Dongsen Valley.
It's just that the eyes of this short man are unusually bright, faintly revealing some wisdom about the world.
Dong dong dong—!
Outside the door, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Nobuo Kobayashi said.
The person who walked in was the previous Director of the Office of the Prime Minister.
As an emperor and his ministers, normally new officials will replace the previous staff when they take office, but Kobayashi Nobuo retained all the original staff of the former Prime Minister's Office in Higashi Mori Valley.
"We have contacted the World Government. They have heard what Team Leader Kimura said on the Sky Tree tonight, and are asking us whether this is Leader Kimura's personal idea, or whether it represents Wano Country.
Official attitude.”
Having said this, the office director paused, lowered his voice and continued with a bitter tone:
"The other party's attitude is very cold. They said that if it is the latter, Wano Country will not need to send representatives to Beijing to participate in the 'World Conference' held in the middle of three months."
Suddenly, the small office fell into silence, leaving only the sound of the rain falling on the floor-to-ceiling windows due to the wind and rain, leaving countless mottled water stains.
Nobuo Kobayashi, who had his back turned, suddenly raised his hand and unbuttoned a few shirt buttons under his neck. He usually had an easy-going attitude and good-natured personality. It seemed that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart at this moment. He suddenly raised his hand and punched his body twice with his fist.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in front of me, and the water stains outside the windows seemed to have been violently shaken off.
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
"It's a mess! It's all a mess!"
"Get out! These bastards!"
"."
Objectively speaking, Kobayashi Nobuo does have reasons and qualifications to be angry.
The previous Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, who colluded with external forces to frame important national officials for corruption and abuse of law, died.
A chaotic mess was left behind.
He took the position hard and managed to get it almost done.
Something happened to Prime Minister Higashi Sengaya again. The media revealed a lot of shady stories, and he was promoted to the position of Acting Minister again to continue cleaning up the mess.
It can only be said that Nobuo Kobayashi has relatively strong ability to withstand pressure.
He gave up unnecessary suspicions and party disputes, boldly mobilized the original team left over from the previous term, and implemented various internal measures in a multi-pronged manner. Wano's internal affairs were about to get on the right track.
However, God did not fulfill his wish.
At this time, something happened again to Kimura Hakutaku, the third investigation team directly under the Prime Minister.
No matter how tough and able Nobuo Kobayashi is to withstand pressure, he is still a little unable to bear it.
At this moment, if the messy and complicated thoughts and rather sloppy mood in his mind could be described in one sentence, then that sentence would probably be:
"Uh, that's really silly."
"Sir, what did you say?" the office director approached carefully and asked.
call-!
Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi looked at the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him, rubbed his increasingly older cheeks, and then took a long breath.
He turned his head and said to the office director in a heavy tone, "Call back to the World Government. What Team Leader Kimura said and did tonight on the Sky Tree can and can only represent his personal behavior, and what he did.
The country and I have no knowledge of this."
Speaking of this, Nobuo Kobayashi pondered for two seconds and continued, "By the way, let the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section 2 set up a 'Kimura Incident' investigation task force and report directly to me. I will hold a press conference the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
The office director hesitated and said, "Are you in such a hurry? I'm afraid."
"We. No! Time is running out for Wano Country."
Nobuo Kobayashi looked at the director of the office seriously, and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile, "Do you think those high-ranking heavenly council members of the World Government will have time and mood to wait for our investigation? It's only a day and a half, it can't be any later!"
Sensing the helplessness and heaviness in Nobuo Kobayashi's tone, the office director also felt a little depressed, knowing that what the other person said was an indisputable fact.
At this time, for the sake of the overall situation, they must draw a clear line and make a break.
Originally, the withdrawal of the Adjudication Division from Wano Country and the upcoming World Conference had plunged Wano Country into an abyss.
It's just that the previous Prime Minister Higashi Moriya welcomed three distinguished guests from nowhere who were enough to influence the proposal of the World Conference. He made a big publicity at a critical moment, and the Wano Country, which made everyone feel self-conscious, was once in the boundless darkness.
I saw a ray of bright hope.
It's a pity that this hope comes so quickly.
Went very quickly.
None of the three "distinguished guests" were left alive.
There were even rumors in the media that these distinguished guests were related to the incident of the missing children in Wano Country, which instantly extinguished that glimmer of hope.
The only thing Wano can do now is to save itself "better than nothing" and try to make its existence less "obtrusive" in the eyes of the World Government and the Judgment Division, but it is unknown how effective it will be.
Next, a series of orders regarding the follow-up to tonight's incident were clearly issued from Nobuo Kobayashi's mouth, which is enough to show that this short man is a rare man of action.
But just as the office director turned to leave, interim Acting Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi suddenly stopped him again.
"Do you have anything else to do?" the office director asked.
Nobuo Kobayashi was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "What do you think of 'that man'?"
The moment he heard the words "that man", the office director's heart tightened.
He raised his head and glanced at Nobuo Kobayashi's unusually bright eyes, and he obviously knew who the other party was talking about.
In today's Wano Country,
"That man" can only be "that" man.
In fact, starting last year, when that man first appeared to assist the Metropolitan Police Department in resolving social crises, the Wano government also intended to establish him as a positive model superhero.
But as that man didn't know whether it was because of his interest or his unscrupulous behavior, he moved some important people who should not be touched or who the country of Wano could not afford to touch, and gradually became the opposite of the government of the country of Wano.
Even the previous prime minister, Yu Jinyu, had no choice but to give up on the other party.
During the term of the previous Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata, as the other party entered the Judgment Division, he repeatedly killed the Judgment Division, which angered the Judgment Division and announced that it would leave Wano Country and would not have a station.
It can be said that the government of the East Mori Valley has completely put him on the opposite side of the society and people of Wano. It announced that the man was a "high-risk element in society" and included him on the wanted list of the Metropolitan Police Department.
But now, the interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi mentioned "that man" again.
Being able to climb to the position of confidant as the director of the Prime Minister's Office, it is naturally impossible for him to understand people's hearts. He almost instantly guessed the thoughts of the temporary acting minister in front of him.
Beside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office,
Nobuo Kobayashi stared at the office director at the door with a calm face and said softly:
"Although what that man has been doing is not in compliance with the laws of Wano Country, it does not reach the level of a high-risk element in society. Now Wano Country has reached an extremely critical moment. As an official government, we cannot continue to suppress these powerful civil society members.
The subjective initiative of capable people.”
"Do you mean to cancel the Metropolitan Police Department's wanted order against him?" the office director asked.
Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi raised his eyes and glanced at him, shook his head gently and said, "Of course we can't cancel the wanted list at this time. I'm afraid that man has already appeared on the wanted list of the World Government, but our internal staff can
Release a little bit of 'kindness'."
His wanted status is neither cancelled.
Do you want to show goodwill to them again?
The office director is a quick-thinking person. He instantly understood the meaning of Nobuo Kobayashi's words, and already knew in his mind how to convey the Prime Minister's true instructions to the Metropolitan Police Department regarding the follow-up treatment of "that man".
.
Same rainy night, different place.
In front of Araguan Apartment Building,
A dark shadow flashed under the dull yellow streetlight.
The young couple waiting for the last bus at the bus stop across the road felt their eyes blurred. They rubbed their eyes but found nothing under the street lights, and then began to discuss their future in this city worriedly.
The apartment building is on the fifth floor, in front of the rental house.
"I'm back."
Higashinohara shouted, took out the key and tried to open the door.
As soon as the key was inserted into the door lock.
The door opened automatically.
Behind the door, a little girl wearing pink pajamas rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes. The moment she saw the person standing outside the door, her big clear eyes suddenly showed an extremely bright and cheerful look.
"Big brother!"
Higashinohara responded with a smile and entered the room. He had a pale face and a gentle smile, as if he just went on a trip and nothing happened, but there was a hint of gloom in his heart that no one noticed.
About half an hour ago,
Faced with the large amount of unknown particles that filled the air after Kimura Hakutaku was killed, Higashinohara immediately chose [Collect] after detecting the [Guilty Manual] in his mind.
Although the Tembo Corridor did not have all the power fruits prepared by Kimura Hakutaku in his plan at that time, Higashinohara also earned a lot of source points, which were almost enough to push [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] one step further.
However, he felt that something was missing in his heart, and there was an indescribable sense of voyeurism.
The situation in the Tianwang Corridor was critical at that time, and neither the situation nor the remaining time allowed him to think too much.
It wasn't until he returned home and his heart suddenly relaxed that Higashinohara realized what he was doing.
seed
he is sure
Hakutaku Kimura is too dead to die.
But the [Seed] that Kimura Hakutaku relied on to advance in the dream did not seem to be absorbed by the [Guilty Manual] after he was killed.
What went wrong?
What happened to that feeling of voyeurism at that time?
