Chapter 955: The Five Main Combat Divisions!
Within the Land of Wind.
Outside Rōran City, near the Ninja World's West Blue.
Here, it was as always, a golden vast desert stretching as far as the eye could see. The scorching sun in the sky was still unbearably hot, and even the wind carried a suffocating heat.
However, compared to the past.
There were now many dark watchtowers and fully armed black-clad soldiers.
At this moment, Sakazuki, serving as a Marine Headquarters Admiral, stood on a scorching sandy ground with Shiryu.
Before them was a considerably vast desert open ground, while Rōran City had become a tiny black dot at the end of their line of sight.
"Admiral Akainu, the Star Gate underground has disappeared!"
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi perched on Shiryu's palm spoke.
"Mm."
Sakazuki didn't say much, his majestic and sharp gaze fixed intently on the empty desert before him.
"They're here!"
The next moment, Sakazuki and Shiryu's eyes narrowed.
[Buzz----]
In the void about fifty meters away from the sandy ground.
Suddenly, accompanied by faint starlight, circles of translucent ripple visible to the naked eye appeared.
It was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake.
But the focus wasn't on these ripples.
It was on the starlight that was rapidly expanding, spreading outwards in all directions.
When the starlight bloomed to a certain extent, it began to reveal its four-sided boundary.
There was no difference from the 'Medium Star Gate' in the previous 'Giant World'.
Height: three hundred meters!
Width: two hundred meters!
Looking up from Sakazuki and Shiryu's position and angle.
This Star Gate, emitting a gentle radiance, was like a sky gate descended from myth.
As if connecting heaven and earth!
The army officers, soldiers, and Cipher Pol men in black responsible for vigilance around them all subconsciously focused their gaze on this 'Medium Star Gate'.
Every person's eyes revealed a fervent radiance.
A miracle!
For these lower and middle-level personnel who didn't yet know of Im's existence, this was a miracle controlled by the World Government.
And for Sakazuki, it was another moment of being deeply shaken by Im.
At this moment, the figure sitting on the Empty Throne that day, like a god and a demon, and those chilling Ripple Eyes, involuntarily surfaced in his memory.
[Whoosh----]
The next second, the dazzling starlight on the giant Star Gate began to rapidly fade.
Exposing the scenery of the Giant World on the other side to Sakazuki and Shiryu's eyes.
What was the scenery?
Troop Transport Armored Vehicles, painted with black paint and bearing the white Five-Circle Cross pattern on both sides, formed a team stretching as far as the eye could see, patiently waiting on the open ground on the other side of the 'Star Gate'.
However, the continuous rumble made them look more like a group of restless, constantly low-roaring, urging, and eager wild beasts.
"Not bad."
Seeing such a scene, even the corner of Sakazuki's mouth curved up.
As a soldier, and even a general, he absolutely loved this blood boiling scene.
[Rumble rumble rumble...]
Soon, seemingly having received the order.
The foremost Troop Transport Armored Vehicles began to move forward, passing through the 'Star Gate' and slowly driving from the Giant World into the Ninja World's desert, leaving tracks on the ground.
In the blink of an eye.
A massive convoy of Armored Vehicles, nearly two hundred meters wide, formed a wave-like formation.
Emerging mightily amidst countless rumbling sounds.
And in the air a hundred meters above, warships that looked like battleships from the sea, yet inexplicably floated in the sky, blue-painted warships, flew in one after another.
"Order the Division Commanders to proceed without delay and head directly to the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Swamps!"
Sakazuki, having lit a smoking cigar and held it in his mouth at some point, crossed his hands over his chest, appreciating the spectacular scene of his subordinate Main Battle Legion pouring in.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the instruction, Shiryu immediately relayed Admiral Akainu's order to the Den Den Mushi.
Soon.
Vice Admiral Onigumo, the Division Commander of the First Division of the First Main Combat Legion.
Vice Admiral Doberman, the Division Commander of the Second Division of the First Main Combat Legion.
Vice Admiral Charlotte Oven, the Division Commander of the Third Division of the First Main Combat Legion.
Vice Admiral Fabian, the Division Commander of the Fourth Division of the First Main Combat Legion.
Vice Admiral Dalmatian, the Division Commander of the Fifth Division of the First Main Combat Legion, and others, all received Sakazuki's order immediately.
At the same time, the Den Den Mushi they held projected an image map of this 'Ninja World'.
In fact, they had already seen this map before coming and had deeply imprinted it in their memory.
However, this image specifically marked the exact position each Main Combat Division was to reach.
A moment later.
All the Armored Vehicle convoys pouring out from the 'Medium Star Gate' separated tacitly midway, accelerating towards their respective directions.
If viewed from overhead, it was like a surging black water.
As soon as they left the 'Medium Star Gate', they split into five tributaries, rolling towards the Land of Swamps.
However.
With over fifty thousand military strength in the convoy, it was difficult to see the tail for a while.
But Sakazuki didn't care at all, quietly watching with the cigar in his mouth.
"Admiral Akainu, Vice Admiral Stainless is asking if they should also rush to the Land of Swamps for support?"
Shiryu leaned closer and asked softly.
"I forgot about them. Alright, order them to leave Konoha, and take Konoha's ninja with them to deal with the small countries and small ninja villages near the Land of Fire."
Vice Admiral Stainless's Sixth Division was actually Sakazuki's directly subordinate division. Before, the Star Gate was too small, so only this one division came with him to Rōran. Later, Sakazuki sent them out to assist Aramaki in the suppression of Konohagakure. They were still stationed in Konoha...
"Yes."
Shiryu nodded, but just as he was about to turn, he heard Sakazuki's voice from behind:
"You go too. Those small countries indeed need a decisive person. However, I hope you can prove to me that you can control your killing intent."
Shiryu's eyes widened abruptly, even his pupils trembling.
Sakazuki was willing to let him go out?!
"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint you, Admiral Akainu."
As soon as the words fell, Shiryu's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Heh, so impatient. Is it that difficult to be by my side?"
Sakazuki snorted displeasedly.
He just felt that if Shiryu could control his killing intent.
Then continuing to be an adjutant would be too much of a waste.
Moreover, according to intelligence, only Devil Fruit users possess the strength to harm demons.
So, a pure Great Swordsman like Shiryu wouldn't be of much use accompanying him to the Land of Swamps.
It would be better to throw this bloodthirsty demon wolf out to clear out the kings of those small countries and the idiot ninja who don't know their place, considering it solving a small batch of trouble for the World Government.
At the same time.
Vice Admiral Onigumo, who had an armored vehicle to himself, glanced at the young adjutant sitting beside him.
"How does it feel to come to other worlds for conquest for the first time?"
Nahas merely smiled faintly at the question.
"There's definitely some excitement, and a bit of nervousness, but more... I guess it's expectation."
Then, this super genius from the Imperial Arms World sighed:
"It's just that I'm not a Devil Fruit user, so how do I deal with those demons? My Imperial Arms, 'Super Strength Eruption: Balzac', can only let me temporarily exert one hundred percent of my potential ability..."
Vice Admiral Onigumo said in a deep voice: "Then prioritize survival. After this battle is over, you can use your military merit to choose one when you go back. I suggest choosing an Animal System, because it suits you."
"Devil Fruit..."
Nahas pondered, but didn't immediately agree.
"Let's see again. I've already been injected with the 'Perfect Type-II Cell Strengthening Serum', so I don't need to worry about my physique in the short term."
"What about you, Vice Admiral Onigumo? You're not a Devil Fruit user either?"
Vice Admiral Onigumo said faintly: "We'll see then."
"Alright..."
