Chapter 953: The First Main Battle Legion Surges Forth with a Roar!
Giant World, Canberra Continent.
Years ago, it was designated by the World Government as the 'Frontline Military Headquarters for Operations Against Otherworlds'.
A Main Battle Legion from the military and an Auxiliary Legion composed of Otherworlders have been stationed here long-term.
The so-called Main Battle Legion.
It is a large force personally led by an Army Headquarters Admiral as its Army Commander.
Each Main Battle Legion is composed of an Admiral's directly subordinate division and five Main Battle Divisions, with a total military strength of around sixty thousand, and the minimum military rank for basic soldiers is Second Lieutenant.
Through five years of campaigns and arduous training.
They have achieved the widespread adoption of 'Breathing Technique' from various schools.
On this basis, they also choose one of the various extraordinary martial arts such as 'Hasshoken', 'Fish-Man Karate', 'Red Leg Kick Technique', etc., to cultivate.
At the same time, everyone has more or less mastered one or two techniques from the 'Six Powers', so it can be said that their Taijutsu is already very complete.
Any one of them, if placed in the Ninja World, would be considered an excellent Taijutsu Ninja.
Furthermore, on top of these foundations, both soldiers and officers have used the military merit they obtained to exchange for various resources to enhance their strength.
Some chose to become 'Kabaneri', or even the higher rank 'Nue', while others chose to exchange for 'Ministerial Arms' from the Imperial Arms World.
For example, the gauntlet type 'Crushing King' which allows one to further possess 'Monster Strength'.
Of course, the so-called 'Monster Strength' has been modified by the World Government to 'enhance the explosive power of boxing'.
These 'Ministerial Arms', with the strong support and significant resource investment from the World Government, can now be mass produced steadily.
The general process is that The Empire of the Imperial Arms World, the Alchemy Kingdom, and the Shenhe Island Nation are responsible for raising low and mid-rank 'Danger Beasts' to produce raw materials.
Then, the craftsmen from 'Famous Sword Town' on the Sea Star world's Wano Island are responsible for manufacturing these raw materials into Ministerial Arms with special effects.
They can even replicate some Imperial Arms for which they have all the materials.
For example, 'Twin Great Axes: Belvaac', 'Myriad Transformation: Cross Tail', 'Water Dragon Possession: Black Marlin', 'Moonlight Beauty Dance: Wind Blade Sword'.
However, the easiest to manufacture is the 'Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract'.
Because this thing only requires putting a Philosopher's Stone into a can of 'Crimson Lotus Blood'.
Then refrigerating it to ensure the blood's temperature is just before freezing.
It's just that the risk of drinking this thing is still too great.
Therefore, it has not been opened for the troops to freely exchange.
As for the 'Philosopher's Stone' as the core, the World Government has also reached cooperation with the Alchemy Kingdom, which will hand over some each year to replace part of the Heavenly Tribute.
As for how the Alchemy Kingdom manufactures the 'Philosopher's Stone', the World Government will not interfere, even if Cipher Pol investigates the truth of the matter.
Returning to the three Main Battle Legions stationed here.
With the newly promoted Army Headquarters Admiral, 'Demon Shark' Douglas Bullet, leading his army back to the Sea Star world.
Currently, only two Main Battle Legions remain on this Canberra Continent.
Because there are only two Admirals in the Army now, there is no Main Battle Legion led by an Admiral; it is nominally led by Army Headquarters Marshal Raimon, but is actually overseen by Sakazuki.
Besides the Army, the air fleet of Air Force Headquarters Admiral 'Golden Lion' Shiki is also stationed here long-term.
However, they have already gone to the Zero Magic World to be stationed in the 'Holy Land' in the Sahara Desert, patiently waiting for the order to attack the 'Modern Technology World' on the other side.
At the same time, the Marine fleet led by Marine Headquarters Admiral 'Aokiji' Kuzan is also guarding several large ports on the coastline.
Coupled with the even larger Auxiliary Legions.
It can be said that every corner of the air throughout the entire Canberra Continent is filled with terrifying killing intent, with fully armed soldiers, tanks, cannons, railways, fortresses, and fighter jet groups and air force warships flying overhead from time to time.
Meanwhile.
On the other two continents, the scene is even more bustling.
This is the World Government's Construction Department, in cooperation with the United Academy of Sciences and the military, diligently working to build the 'Reincarnation Paradise Training Ground' proposed by Im.
At the same time, the 'Kabaneri Cultivation and Processing Base' is being relocated here.
This is also an extremely massive project.
And the person in charge of this project is Pica, formerly one of Doflamingo's subordinates.
His Paramecia Type Stone-Stone Fruit can play a huge role here.
The first step is to build stone walls that are high and thick enough to surround the entire 'North America' Continent, preventing the various monsters that will be released in the future from escaping.
This is also a quite time-consuming and laborious mission for Pica.
But he never tires of it.
Let's turn our line of sight back to the rear of the Canberra Continent.
On a certain army training ground, a large group of army soldiers, mixed with officers, were gathered around watching two people spar in the training ground, with occasional sounds of excited cheering and exclamations.
In the training ground, a tall figure, wearing a black Justice Coat draped over his shoulders.
Was swinging the long saber in his hand, and with agile footwork, quickly defending against the flashes of golden light coming from all directions, repeatedly causing bright sparks and clanging sounds.
"Rasengan!!!"
Suddenly, a roar echoed in the training ground, and at the same time, Minato Namikaze appeared behind the Army Lieutenant General. An azure energy sphere hovered above his empty left palm.
"Hmph!"
Army Lieutenant General Dalmatian let out a cold snort, not turning around to defend at all, but directly releasing his Armament Haki outside his body.
【Boom!!】
The glowing Rasengan and the intangible Haki impact collided between the two.
Immediately, a fierce explosive force erupted, instantly cracking the training ground.
The huge sound caused all the spectators to hold their breath, waiting for the result after the thick smoke dissipated.
The next moment.
All the smoke dissipated with the gale generated within it.
Army Lieutenant General Dalmatian, who had turned around at some point, and Minato Namikaze, who had stopped moving, looked at each other across the distance. Between them was a crater that had been blown open.
Dalmatian, the Commander of the Fifth Main Battle Division of the First Main Battle Legion, quickly shed the Dalmatian fur on his skin and the dog tail behind him, instantly recovering to his normal human form, and calmly said to Minato Namikaze:
"Your Rasengan can only break through Haki defense below Admiral-level combat power. If you can't continue to improve its power, I suggest you change your attack method. You can't gain a foothold in our military with just teleportation and reaction speed."
"Thank you very much for your instruction. I have clearly understood my strength level here."
Minato Namikaze did not refute, nor did he mention that the Rasengan has advanced forms, but thanked him very politely.
"Minato! Are you okay?"
At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki ran over and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
Minato Namikaze smiled and shook his head.
He had confirmed that Observation Haki ability that could predict his next 'Flying Thunder God' position in advance.
Even in the World Government, it is uncommon; at least this Army Lieutenant General Dalmatian does not have it.
Thus, there are very few people here who can injure him.
Although the perception ability of Observation Haki is powerful, it is not very useful if the user's physical reaction cannot keep up with 'Flying Thunder God'.
Minato Namikaze had already verified this on other officers before.
In the past few days, the members of the Leaf Village delegation, after experiencing a series of shocks to their worldview, had sparred with many army officers, just like the Third Raikage before.
Even Orochimaru couldn't help but fight a match with an Army Lieutenant General who wasn't very famous.
His performance wasn't great, and it ended in a draw.
Like Jiraiya, his overall strength was significantly affected after losing his 'Snake Series' techniques.
However, he is stronger than Jiraiya because, besides the 'Snake Series', he has also mastered a large amount of various Ninjutsu, which the latter cannot compare to.
As for Jiraiya's Sage Jutsu, unless Orochimaru is willing to give him time, it has no value in actual combat.
At this moment, a Longarm Tribe Army Major moved at high speed to the vicinity and shouted an order loudly.
"Army Lieutenant General Dalmatian!"
"Command Headquarters Order, immediately assemble the army and prepare to be stationed in the Ninja World!"
"The Star Gate will be upgraded to 'Medium-sized' in one hour!"
Dalmatian raised an eyebrow, showing surprise.
Meanwhile.
All the Lieutenant Generals belonging to the First Main Battle Legion received the same order.
【Boom!】
Suddenly, tens of thousands of army troops surged forth with a roar.
They quickly assembled and formed ranks amidst countless whistles and urging shouts.
Dense footsteps constantly entered people's ears.
"Faster, faster, faster!"
"After reporting numbers, immediately leave the camp and head to Stargate Plaza at Ninja World Star Gate No. 0006 to assemble!"
"Yes!!!"
Tens of thousands of fully armed army soldiers shouted in unison.
This scene moved Minato Namikaze, Hiashi Hyuga, Nara Shikaku, Orochimaru, and the other Leaf Village visitors who were dispersed and observing various places.
What happened in the Ninja World?
Why did the World Government suddenly dispatch so many troops into the Ninja World?
Logically speaking, the major ninja villages in the Ninja World should have pretty much all submitted by now...
