**Chapter 1555: Teach is Dead, Burn Paper if You Need Something!**
Imu hadn't expected Edward Newgate to so abruptly reach the Realm of Colorless Haki.
The reason he had called him over this time was clearly to expose Marshall D. Teach's true colors.
Who would have thought that Edward Newgate's fatherly love was as vast as the sea, capable of even forgiving the son who killed him?
He even planned to teach Teach well, helping him mend his ways, reasoning that everything is possible.
He also felt that his own death was due to being too weak; if he were strong enough, Teach would only obediently be a good son.
"What is this?"
Edward Newgate composed himself, raised his hands, and looked at the faint white light on the surface of his skin, his face full of astonishment.
This strength felt both familiar and strange to him, but he could feel the extremely powerful strength contained within it.
"That is Colorless Haki. You have already stepped into the Domain of a Martial God."
The lofty Imu gave the answer in a calm tone.
Then he inquired, "So, do you plan to enter the Martial God Hall, or continue serving as an Army Headquarters Admiral?"
Edward Newgate immediately fell into deep thought.
From a personal perspective, he would prefer to resign from the admiral position and become a more free Martial God, and he could also spar with Garp every day.
But he was also a father.
Since he knew Teach's personality and planned to join the Army.
It was best to stay and personally keep an eye on this restless idiot son.
So Edward Newgate gave this answer.
"Lord Imu, I hope to continue serving as an Army Headquarters Admiral, and I hope to have Teach stay by my side. Please grant this!"
Imu truly admired him.
Seeing himself 'die' at Teach's hands, he still dared to keep Teach by his side.
In fact, according to Imu's idea, even if Teach were allowed to join the Army, he should be arranged under other admirals.
To prevent fate from playing a joke on them.
Causing Teach to kill Newgate again in the future due to various reasons.
However, Imu still decided to respect 'Whitebeard''s will.
"Then so be it. Take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Lord Imu. Also, about Teach needing to extract the Devil Fruit ability from his body..."
Edward Newgate hesitated slightly, worried that Imu would prohibit this matter.
"Just handle everything according to the rules."
As soon as the words fell, the figure on the Empty Throne disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, words that brought joy to Edward Newgate were left in the Palace Hall.
"Even if you don't enter the Martial God Hall, you must have a Martial God Epithet. Effective immediately, you are the 'Space-Time Tremor-Splitting Martial God', but this must be kept secret until you resign as an Army Headquarters Admiral."
This meant the epithet was just a nominal title.
He had neither a Martial God Waist Token nor a Martial God Coat.
It was the same situation as Aramaki.
Not long after.
Edward Newgate returned to Loulan and brought the good news to Marshall D. Teach.
"I've been given permission to join the Army!"
Looking at Teach's expression filled with surprise and joy, Newgate nodded and laughed heartily, "Yes, you'll follow the Engineering Team for a few days first, and you'll definitely receive a notification from above. Then you'll be transferred to this Old Man's Fifth Main Battle Legion."
Although currently neither Commander-in-Chief Kong nor Army Marshal Raymond were aware.
But since Lord Imu had spoken, this matter was set in stone, and the Five Elders couldn't stop it.
"That's great! That's great! Thank you, Old Man!"
Teach was overjoyed; he could finally leave the Construction Department.
He wouldn't have to build any more houses, paths, or airports.
He had long been impatient with these jobs!
However, he noticed that his Old Man was looking at him with a somewhat complex gaze.
This made him feel a little strange.
And how did his Old Man solve his matter just by going out once?
But he still kept these questions hidden in his heart.
After all, now was not the time to delve into them.
Moreover, as long as the objective was achieved, the process wasn't very important.
Next, he just needed to consume the merit accumulated over the past few years and exchange it for the opportunity to remove the Devil Fruit ability.
As for the first new Devil Fruit, didn't his Old Man say he would give it to him?
Teach didn't feel ashamed about this.
It was only natural for a son to rely on his Old Man, and besides, his Old Man had offered it himself!
It would be even better if he could give me his Tremor-Tremor Fruit one day.
The World Government handled Imu's instruction with the highest efficiency.
The next day, Teach received a notification from the Construction Department.
The day after that, Teach parted ways with the Engineering Team's subordinates.
Immediately after, he followed Edward Newgate and 'Five-Tails' King Mu, returning to the Canberra Continent in the Giant World via a Medium Star Gate.
Here, he first met with Marco, who was the dean at the World Hospital, and rested for a night at his home.
On the third day, they arrived in the Demon Slayer World, but did not stay, passing directly through the Star Gate in the Second Special Zone to return to the Sea Star Mainland.
In the afternoon.
Marshall D. Teach, under the witness of Edward Newgate.
Was received by Marshal Raymond at the Army Headquarters Landeforce.
He was personally awarded the Army Senior Colonel Officer ID, a Black Justice Coat, and a First-Class Individual Valor Cross Gold Medal by the Marshal.
This medal was a reward for his merit in stepping forward at a critical moment to help Loulan defeat the attack of two Upper Demons.
After all, at that time, Teach was not military personnel but a construction worker from the Engineering Team.
And the military rank of Senior Colonel was determined by Raymond after careful consideration.
The starting point was neither high nor low.
Saying it's high, it's not Flag Officers Rank; saying it's low, it's second only to Flag Officers Rank.
If Teach was truly capable, it wouldn't take long for him to be promoted to Commodore.
Teach was also very satisfied with this.
But he was more concerned with removing the Cement-Cement, Glass-Glass, and Rebar-Rebar Devil Fruit abilities from his body.
Because of his deep-seated aversion, which extended even to things associated with them (like hating the house and the crow on its roof).
Even though he could skillfully use these abilities, he still felt a deep-seated aversion towards them from the bottom of his heart.
Or rather, he detested the various meanings they represented: mediocrity, stability, achieving nothing, hopelessness, and so on.
So, under Teach's strong request, Raymond, who originally wanted him to rest for a night first, still allowed him to use the internal Flying Thunder God Array to directly teleport to Impel Down.
It was already late night at this moment, but Teach didn't care at all.
Anyway, he didn't need to sleep, and he liked darkness.
Edward Newgate contacted the Holy Land Treasury Department, stating he wanted to use military merit to exchange for the Logia System Swamp-Swamp Fruit.
He had been confused before about why Teach was interested in this one.
Now, after seeing the data on previous ability users of the Swamp-Swamp Fruit, he somewhat understood.
It would give the user a domain inside their body that could absorb any object and had an extremely large capacity.
This looked somewhat like a lower-rank substitute for the Dark-Dark Fruit.
In the blink of an eye.
Marshall D. Teach, shouldering a Black Justice Coat and wearing a black suit set.
Stood in the center of a pile of fruits, both excited and nervous, looking nervously towards the former 'Red Count', now the Cipher Pol highest officer, Redfield.
To be honest, Teach wasn't familiar with him, but fortunately, Newgate, who was standing beside the other man, provided him with a complete sense of security.
This was the Old Man's charm.
If not necessary, he really didn't want to betray him.
"Then I'll begin, White Whale, Admiral."
Redfield looked at Newgate meaningfully and said.
"Okay, try not to make him suffer too much."
"Of course."
The next second.
Redfield didn't seem to make any movement, but Teach only felt his sense of sight go black; he truly didn't feel any pain sensation at all.
Then, as his sense of sight gradually recovered, he suddenly heard a person's voice in his ear.
"Army Senior Colonel Teach, welcome to the Underworld Police Division. This is Yellow Spring City in the Netherworld. You just need to wait here for a moment, and you will be able to return to the Human World immediately."
Sabito, who originated from the Demon Slayer World and was already a Police Superintendent, wore a Rabbit White Mask on his head and calmly looked at Teach, who had a somewhat blank expression.
Ever since Bullet caused a great disturbance in the Sea Star Underworld, this rule has existed.
All souls waiting for resurrection are not allowed to leave without permission.
They must stay here in the Underworld Police Division, be supervised by the Underworld Police, and wait obediently.
