Chapter 976
## Chapter 967: Im Doesn't Like Volcanoes!
"As expected of Esdeath. However, since you chose to be willful, you must bear the consequences yourself."
Im looked at the holographic virtual image before him after receiving the report, his expression extremely cold.
Of course, he wasn't abandoning the Ninja World.
Rather, he wouldn't personally intervene easily before Sakazuki and Kuzan had exchanged blows with Lilith and Naamah.
So, if Esdeath died in battle during this process, she would only have herself to blame.
Besides that, Im was already mentally prepared for Crocodile and Hong Lian to also be sacrificed.
He had always felt that conquering myriad worlds was not child's play and would inevitably be accompanied by a large number of casualties.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Im noticed an urgent report from Cipher Pol. After reading it, he was incredibly surprised.
Mima Amatori had awakened Conqueror's Haki!
Can Otherworlders also possess Conqueror's Haki?
That makes sense.
Since they can learn Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Then, theoretically, Conqueror's Haki should also be possible.
"However, this also means that Otherworlders awakening Conqueror's Haki is unrelated to 'Star Fate'. Otherwise, the first person to awaken it should have been someone from the Titan World, like Historia..."
Im muttered to himself, then closed the report.
After all, this wasn't actually a very important matter. So what if Otherworlders could awaken Conqueror's Haki?
Turning off the Star Den Den Mushi, the 3D image in the study room quickly disappeared.
Im stood up, preparing to head to the Star Pressure Palace for physical training.
According to the schedule he had set for himself, the entire day today would focus on physical enhancement.
Tomorrow would focus on swordsmanship, the day after on studying Devil Fruit abilities, followed by learning the knowledge of various substances and elements to lay a good foundation for better use of alchemy.
However, when Little Enma appeared again.
Im knew that his plan for today was likely not going to be completed.
"Father, Hashirama Senju has agreed to help deal with King Yama!"
Little Enma giggled gleefully, "And I can feel that King Yama's state is getting weaker and weaker. If there are no accidents, he should be defeated!"
"Hmm, what about World?"
Im nodded with a calm expression.
Because he didn't know if King Yama's defeat was a good thing or a bad thing. What if Otsutsuki Hagoromo attacked?
But for now, he could only take things one step at a time.
"World has already been dispatched to invite Shimotsuki Ryuma to the Titan World's Underworld for a talk. I also told him that if Shimotsuki Ryuma refuses, he should forcibly bring him back..."
Little Enma said with some conflicted feelings.
Clearly, she still didn't want to use Byrnndi World as a pawn.
But among her subordinates, he was the only one who could potentially force out Shimotsuki Ryuma's true strength.
"Let's go. Let's see that Dragon-Slaying Sword Saint from Wano Country. Dragon-Slaying, tsk."
Im immediately summoned the small stargate he carried with him, and took Little Enma through the Kabaneri Stargate located in Area RL1556 on the Red Line of the Sea Star, directly returning to the Sea Star mainland.
However, due to the speed of the teleportation being too fast, the dozen or so army soldiers guarding nearby didn't notice any commotion at all.
The next moment, the two appeared on the top floor of Pangaea Castle, which had been renovated into the Flower Chamber.
Historia's aesthetic sense was indeed good.
This place had changed from its previous desolate state to one full of life, with lush green grassy areas everywhere, brightly colored flowers, and many colorful butterflies.
"Let's enter the Underworld from here." Im looked down at Little Enma beside him.
"Okay..."
Little Enma composed herself.
She immediately opened a purplish-black cut in front of her, and at the same time, lightly patted Im's soul out of his body.
In the blink of an eye, as the cut disappeared, only Im's body remained in the wooden house interior of the Flower Chamber.
Sea Star Underworld, King Enma's Hell, also known as the Underworld.
"The environment and scent here are as terrible as ever. Only this Underworld River can be considered beautiful."
Im complained softly, feeling the stifling heat assailing his face and the sulfur smell at the tip of his nose.
But just as he said, the long river of black water flowing endlessly before him was beautiful.
Because it sparkled with many brilliant starlight. Coincidentally, the sky here had no starlight, as if all the starlight had gathered in this water.
According to Little Enma, this Underworld River inherently possesses starlight and should be a characteristic of the Sea Star Underworld, as the Underworld River in the Giant Underworld does not have these.
"Father, if you don't like it, when I become the Lord of the Underworld here, I'll give it a big renovation! Father, you can tell me what kind you like first!"
Little Enma said with a sweet giggle as she led Im forward.
"You can even renovate the environment here?" This was something Im hadn't expected.
"Yes, I can. Because the Lord of the Underworld is an existence recognized by the Will of the Underworld. As long as it doesn't affect the basic operation of the Underworld, the environment and such can basically be changed according to my will."
"Of course, renovation also requires using local materials. For example, I can't create a large lake and forest in the Giant Underworld, which is entirely white sand. That's why my Yama's Underworld Palace buildings are all white."
After hearing Little Enma's words, Im stopped. Then, under her doubtful gaze, he used Haki to grab a piece of underworld soil from the ground from a distance and brought it before his eyes.
"As expected, it's not ordinary soil..."
Just now, Little Enma mentioned 'using local materials', so Im was thinking if he could use alchemy to transform the soil here into other materials.
But after trying, he found that the alchemy performed using the soil elemental composition of the real world had absolutely no effect on this underworld soil. This indicated that there must be a significant difference between the two.
However, this was not strange, as they were two different dimensional domains after all.
These underworld soil might look pitch black and seem nothing special.
But if placed in some magic worlds, it could very likely be a rare necromancy casting material, and the same goes for those trees.
Of course, the water in those Underworld Rivers must be even higher-grade materials.
Looking at it this way, the substances in the Underworld itself possess extremely high development value.
It's just a pity that the magic system of the Zero Magic World doesn't include 'necromancy'.
The most speechless thing was that their conventional magic relied heavily on the magic elements in the air, meaning they couldn't cast magic in other worlds without magic power.
Fortunately, Void Magic and the Elf Race's Spirit Magic have been tested and confirmed to be usable.
However, the power and effect of Spirit Magic in different worlds will have a very obvious difference depending on the degree of resonance with the spirits in nature.
"What's wrong, Father?"
Little Enma widened her eyes, tilted her head, and asked curiously.
"Nothing."
Im threw the soil aside and continued to signal her to lead the way. After all, only she knew where Shimotsuki Ryuma lived.
He had just learned from Little Enma that Shimotsuki Ryuma didn't live in King Yama's Enma Castle but was living in seclusion alone in the Far Shore Garden, and any undead who trespassed would meet the fate of soul annihilation.
Even the death gods under King Yama had to stop outside the Garden and call out to find Shimotsuki Ryuma.
However, before King Yama led his army to invade the Ninja World Pure Land, Yoriichi Tsugikuni from the Demon Slayer World, for some reason, could freely enter and exit the Far Shore Garden. According to Little Enma, this matter caused quite a bit of discussion within Enma Castle at the time.
Later, many swordsmen, including Kokushibo, also tried to approach, wanting to get acquainted with Shimotsuki Ryuma, but they were all blocked outside by warning-like sword aura.
To be honest, strolling through the Underworld while listening to Little Enma tell anecdotes about the Underworld was quite interesting. Im felt like he was really out relaxing with his little daughter.
Of course, it would be even better without this unpleasant scent.
And without the ghosts and monsters that pounced on them from time to time.
"Yama."
"Yes, Father, what is it?"
"In the future, if you renovate, the focus should be on getting rid of those volcanoes. At least don't let them affect the temperature and scent anymore..."
Im said faintly.
Although he knew this fit the characteristic of hell, he just didn't like it.
Oh, right, this absolutely doesn't allude to Sakazuki.
He still values Sakazuki greatly, as long as he doesn't use his ability in front of him...

Regarding the One Piece Underworld setting, most people probably haven't noticed it. Both Luffy and Usopp mentioned in the manga that when they were dazed, they saw: a beautiful flower sea and a beautiful river that didn't seem to belong to this world. Combined with Brook's mention of the Underworld, and the King of Hell, Enma, Fire Festival, etc., mentioned in the Wano Country arc, it can be seen that Oda has set up a relatively rich Underworld for the One Piece World. It just seems unlikely to appear in the main story now.
