Chapter 1478: Netherworld Sea Spy, Discarded Piece Roger! (Two-in-One)
"One thousand three hundred and fifty-six laps!"
"Keep going! Duy!"
"We just need to run six hundred and forty-four more laps, and then we can do three thousand push-ups!"
"Yes, Teacher Chen!"
"Duy, remember, the reason we died in battle is because we weren't working hard enough!"
"So after three thousand push-ups, we need to add another thousand laps of handstand walking before we can rest!"
"Yes, Teacher Chen!"
Inside the Ninja Sect Great Hall in the Ninja World Pure Land.
Roger sat cross-legged on the cushion, listening speechlessly to the sounds from outside.
Although it sounded very blood boiling.
But every time they passed the Main Gate, they would shout this exact phrase.
This caused Roger to hear it thousands of times repeatedly, which was a bit tormenting.
One of them was called Might Duy, the other Chen Baojun, and they were said to have died in combat against a Demon God.
Because their strength was decent, their souls were kept by the Sage of Six Paths.
Who knew that starting the next day, they would run laps around the entire Ninja Sect Hall complex.
"They really are two people born in the wrong world."
Roger listened to the fading sound and chuckled inwardly.
With such a love for training, they should have been reincarnated as Sea Star People. With their drive and will, they could probably become famous experts at sea.
Suddenly.
The figure of Otsutsuki Hagoromo appeared on the main cushion on the originally empty platform.
Although he made no sound, with Roger's Sensory Ability, he noticed him almost immediately and instantly looked up at him.
"Sage of Six Paths..."
"Mm."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo nodded in response: "Lord Imu has granted your request to leave the Pure Land."
"Hoo—, is that so?"
Roger's mood was complex, unsure whether he should be happy or sad.
After all, entering the Underworld Sea meant there was a very high probability of never returning, and it also cut off the possibility of seeing Rouge and Ace.
But he really didn't want to waste any more time, cooped up in this Ninja World Pure Land just waiting to die.
Besides that.
Roger actually thought Im would try to keep him, perhaps inviting him to join the World Government.
But now it seemed he had completely overthought it; the other party didn't seem to care about him at all?
How strange, he was Roger, the Pirate King!
Do you even know my worth?
Of course, even if he was asked to stay, he definitely wouldn't agree.
No freedom, rather die!
"This Old Man will prepare an Underworld Boat for you, enough Yellow Spring Water for one person for a year, ten Communication Den Den Mushi, five Video Den Den Mushi, two White Den Den Mushi, and this..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo took out a tied Purple Scroll from his bosom and sent it across the air to Roger.
"What is this?"
Roger took the scroll floating in the air and examined it carefully.
"This is a Pure Land Summoning Scroll. When using it, open the scroll, place your soul in the center of the Formation Array, and finally activate it with Mental Power. It can then be teleported back here, but only one person can be teleported each time."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo explained the scroll's use to him seriously.
"Is this a retreat route prepared for me?" Roger asked doubtfully.
For a moment, he could only think of this, believing the other party wanted him to use the scroll to escape back to the Ninja World Pure Land in times of danger.
"No, it's so that if you are fortunate enough to reach a certain Netherworld, you can find a way to teleport a soul over..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's tone was low, his gaze deep and meaningful.
"You want me to work for the World Government!"
Roger suddenly stood up, anger rising on his face.
He understood the other party's meaning, but wasn't this asking him to be a spy?
"This is not an order, nor will we force you."
"Whether or not to do this is entirely up to your own choice. If you feel you need our help, then teleport a soul and provide the coordinate."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked directly into Roger's gaze and said in a deep voice:
"Also, don't forget... your wife is being nurtured by the World Government. Isn't that a favor?"
Roger's expression stiffened. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Is this the meaning of that L-Lord Imu?"
"No!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo immediately shook his head in denial: "This is This Old Man's meaning. You only need to contact This Old Man."
"Also, although you already know, I still need to remind you."
"Your soul itself is the coordinate leading to the Sea Star Underworld, so it's best not to let it fall into the hands of extremely powerful individuals."
Roger nodded and said: "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, even if I die, I will throw myself into the Underworld Sea and vanish into thin air!"
He had opinions about the World Government, but he still regarded the Sea Star itself as his hometown, and he cherished this second chance at adventure very much.
"Since that's the case, when do you plan to depart? Do you need to bring a few people? Of course, they must also agree."
In response to Otsutsuki Hagoromo's words, Roger stood up and laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha, no need. It's better to meet partners along the way, but..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo asked curiously: "But what?"
Roger grinned and laughed: "If that guy Madara Uchiha is willing to come with me, I'd welcome him too!"
In the entire Ninja World Pure Land, he admired Madara Uchiha the most.
If he could be his first partner, that would be truly wonderful.
"That's impossible. Madara Uchiha has already been resurrected. He is now the Hokage of the Sea Ninja Village under the World Government. Even if he dies in the upcoming battle against the Underworld Demons, the World Government will likely resurrect him again. It's impossible for him to stay in our Pure Land..."
Saying this, Otsutsuki Hagoromo sighed in his heart.
Of course, he hoped 'Banzhu' could return to the Shinobi Sect or the Pure Land.
But this was clearly not possible.
Moreover, they themselves probably wouldn't agree. After all, the World Government's stage was far larger than here.
"I know... it's just a bit of a regret. When will the Underworld Boat be ready?" Roger asked.
"Ships, of course, there are many, but This Old Man wants someone to build you one of better quality, consider it compensation."
The word "compensation" made Roger understand.
He knew this referred to the lives of Rayleigh, Jabba, and the others.
"Then I hope I can ride the Oro Jackson again. Also, Soul Destruction, is it really impossible to resurrect again? I mean, resurrecting in this Netherworld Dimension."
Roger looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo with a glimmer of hope.
He was still thinking about the day he could see his familiar partners again.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo thought for a moment and said to him: "This Old Man can only answer you with what Lord Imu once said."
"In the Myriad Worlds, anything is possible. So, as long as you experience enough Netherworlds, there's a high probability you'll find a method."
"Anything is possible..." Roger repeated in his heart, the light in his eyes brightening. He thought inwardly: "Indeed, with so many worlds, there must be a way to resurrect Rayleigh and their souls. As long as I keep going!"
At this moment, Otsutsuki Hagoromo softly asked: "Before you go, do you want to see Rouge, Ace, and the others?"
Roger was startled, then smiled: "No need, just bring a photo."
He knew the current situation of Rouge and Ace.
Although it felt a bit awkward that Ace recognized Garp's son as his father, after all, there was a difference in generation.
But being cared for by Garp's family, they would definitely be free from worries about food and clothing under the World Government.
That was enough; he could also embark on his adventure with peace of mind.
"Okay."
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Hagoromo said no more: "Then wait two more days."
"Thank you!"
Roger bowed slightly, then turned and strode out of the Main Hall.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo opened his mouth but couldn't speak, as if he had something difficult to say. Finally, he watched his back view disappear.
This Sage of Six Paths wanted to talk to Roger about Colorless Haki, perhaps give him a reminder.
But then he felt he shouldn't act on his own initiative.
Since Lord Imu hadn't mentioned this matter, it meant he didn't want to inform Roger about it.
Let's just forget it...
Immediately after, Otsutsuki Hagoromo's figure disappeared without a trace. He had to return to the Ninja World to be vigilant against threats from the Netherworld Government.
If a Supreme Demon really appeared, they must be intercepted!
It was just that he also had worries in his heart.
Once the high-ranking officials from both sides truly started a major war, the Ninja World would likely find it difficult to bear.
A thousand years ago, the battle of their mother and two sons shattered a continent. If this were to...
Noah's Ark.
Just as Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Gol D. Roger were talking.
Im was watching the live footage of the Claymore World, Rome City, in the study.
Because of the technical support of Holographic Virtual Image, the experience was not much different from being present at the scene.
It was just that the current situation was vastly different from before.
The personnel fighting the 'Demon Dragon' Fafuhner inside Domitian Palace had changed to 'God and Sword Saint' Yejian Tsukahara, 'Stigma Alchemist' President Isaac, 'Yan Long' Uchiha Kokuu, 'Brimir Pontiff' Vittorio, and 'Four-Winged Angel' Teresa, and they were starting to suppress the former.
As for Steve Guts, Vergo, Bask Gran, and others, because they couldn't intervene...
...they had already gone north to Tiberius Palace to support Miria, Galatea, and the other Claymore Warriors.
"God of Rabona, God of Love Teresa..."
Im's line of sight was focused on the 'Four-Winged Angel' who was sparkling 'before his eyes' and fiercely battling the Demon Dragon.
To be honest, he didn't expect Teresa to appear.
Logically speaking, the final Teresa was imagined by Clare.
But where was Clare at this scene?
Im felt doubtful about this.
Moreover, in her current state, although he couldn't sense her aura, she looked like a Spirit Body no matter how he saw it.
[Purururu, Purururu]
The Pure Gold Den Den Mushi at the corner of the table started calling out. Im's mind stirred, and the handset floated into the air.
"Lord Imu, regarding Roger..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo recounted the events. Im started to feel a bit annoyed.
To be honest, whether Roger left or not, he genuinely didn't care.
The current Roger probably couldn't beat Akainu or Aokiji, let alone Garp or Aramaki.
Or rather, not directly capturing him and handing him over to the Hell Department of the Sea Star Underworld was already very merciful.
But as he listened...
...he heard that Otsutsuki Hagoromo was planning to use Roger as a spy to randomly search for new Netherworlds.
Of course, this spy had a high probability of being lost in the vast Underworld Sea.
As for the risk mentioned by Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
It was that if Roger's soul was captured, it might attract a certain Netherworld Force to invade the Sea Star Underworld.
In Im's view, there was no need to consider it at all.
The entire Sea Star, including the Netherworld, was under the coverage of Star Fate.
He had long since manually blocked signal connections with the outside world.
So even if Roger was captured by a certain Lord of the Underworld, it would be impossible to sense the Sea Star Underworld's coordinate through him.
Therefore, Im was very satisfied with the point that Roger wasn't taking anyone with him.
If he were to really take one or two Ninja World People with him, there would indeed be a hidden danger, potentially attracting enemy attacks to the Pure Land.
After all, the Ninja World was still two years away from being covered by Star Fate.
"Mm, you did very well. Pay attention, before Roger leaves, carefully inspect the Underworld Boat. No one is allowed to sneak on board."
Im casually instructed Otsutsuki Hagoromo. The latter immediately agreed: "Yes, Lord Imu!"
The call ended.
Im continued to focus on the 'Demon Dragon War'.
The more he watched, the more he felt a sense of deja vu, like 'a group of five clearing a dungeon'.
This inexplicably reminded him of various memories from before his transmigration.
But just as Im was gradually becoming engrossed, the Pure Gold Den Den Mushi called out again, immediately startling him awake from his memories.
"Heh—, what am I thinking? The current me is already different..."
Im murmured softly.
The Nuclear World made online games appear before him again, but until now, he had no desire to engage with them again.
He still invested most of his time in World Government affairs and cultivating his own strength.
Going to the Empire Arms World to search for Elder Dragons two days ago was entirely an occasional outing for relaxation.
Normally, he was either in this study or in the Star Pressure Palace.
"Father!"
As the handset on the back of the Pure Gold Den Den Mushi floated up, Yama's voice immediately rang out in the room.
"Mm, are you in the Claymore World now?"
Im calmly replied to the other party while watching the five people fight the BOSS.
"Yes, but not the Netherworld, but the Human World. I'm right above the Roman Empire Imperial Palace!"
Im raised an eyebrow.
So Yama was at the scene, watching this combat just like him?
"Father, I found Teresa. She is the Lord of the Underworld of this Claymore World, and she has already agreed to be your Heavenly Empress, but she has a request..."
"Tell me."
Im watched Teresa, who was rapidly flipping and constantly dodging the Demon Dragon's attacks in the air, with a calm gaze.
As for transactions, he was very familiar with them.
There was nothing he couldn't give now.
The Pure Gold Den Den Mushi imitated Yama's expression and tone and said:
"She hopes to receive a promise from you, a promise to ensure the Claymore World will never have war again. In return, she will give up being the Lord of the Underworld for you and, after resurrection, offer her most sincere love and most unwavering loyalty!"
After hearing this, Im was silent for a few seconds, then replied.
"Okay, Im agrees."
"After joining the World Government, the Claymore World will never be engulfed in war again!"
Im didn't feel this requirement had any difficulty.
At worst, after dealing with the Demon Dragon and Dragonkin, he could have the World Government designate the Claymore World as an Agricultural Planet or a Tourism Planet for development.
"I knew Father would definitely agree! I'll tell her this good news as soon as she comes back!"
"You like Teresa very much?"
Im felt a bit doubtful hearing Yama's delight. The other party had only been to the Claymore Netherworld for a few days.
"Like, like! Her personality is so good. She's gentler than Esdeath, but stronger than Historia. It's just that power called Rabona's Divine Power makes me a bit uncomfortable..."
"According to her, it can purify all dark and evil things. Really, Father, tell me, how am I dark and evil? She's so cute and kind!"
Im didn't care about Yama's chatter.
He quite liked listening to this 'daughter's' voice. After all, he didn't have one in his previous life.
However, upon hearing the second half of her words, Im keenly grasped the key point.
"Yama, are you sure Teresa said it purifies all dark and evil things? Are there any specific manifestations?"
"Huh?"
Yama, who was floating above the completely ruined Domitian Palace, was startled for a moment.
He didn't understand why Father cared about this matter, but he still answered obediently:
"She did say that. As for manifestations, of course there are. The White Light she releases can purify my Bone Spirit Cold Fire. How powerful is that!"
"Is that so..."
Im murmured to himself: "Then I really must meet her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Beelzebub's Heart silently appeared before him.
Emitting wisps of black smoke containing Demonic Power...

"One thousand three hundred and fifty-six laps!"
"Keep going! Duy!"
"We just need to run six hundred and forty-four more laps, and then we can do three thousand push-ups!"
