"For now, Aokiji hasn't betrayed the Navy, so don't issue a bounty yet."
Sengoku raised a finger and adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on his nose.
Visibly,
his thick, seaweed-like black hair began to show streaks of gray, with white hairs sprouting one by one.
Everyone exchanged glances, tacitly remaining silent.
"The Navy Alliance will compensate for the loss of commanders."
Sengoku's voice was hoarse, his eyes blazing with sharp light as he stared at the commanders on both sides of the conference table, saying, "However, your identity is that of a Marine, and you are absolutely forbidden from dabbling in the dirty dealings of those noble factions!
"If anyone is found to have actively participated in the noble factions' human experiments, I will personally execute you!"
Having been publicly rebuked by Aokiji,
Sengoku's emotions were complex.
He had long known that these commanders, to have a continuous supply of resources, must have spider-web-like connections with the noble factions.
However, the Navy Alliance, with countless first-rate players stationed and such a vast force gathered, would instantly collapse if it completely eradicated its commanders.
As long as a bottom line was maintained,
and Navy commanders were strictly forbidden from participating, with his own supervision, they shouldn't go too far, right?
It had always been this way.
The prosperous Royal Street and the dirty trash mountain in Goa Kingdom,
the Sorbet Kingdom, which raised taxes and drove the poor to lawless lands,
the Dressrosa royal family, which mysteriously disappeared and whose country was then occupied by the former Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo—
the Pirate World was just like that.
"Aokiji, it's always been this way…"
His inner voice told Sengoku that these noble factions should be cut into a thousand pieces,
but reason quickly curbed his thoughts.
The World Government, which had ruled the world for eight hundred years, and its hundreds of Allied Nations were all like this, with noble factions enslaving commoners.
The Navy's justice was to protect commoners from pirate harassment.
The rest were internal affairs of the kingdoms…
The Navy had no right to interfere.
Sengoku sighed deeply, thinking, "Aokiji, the justice you envision has already exceeded the boundaries of the Navy Alliance."
Putting aside the matters concerning Aokiji and human experiments,
the most crucial thing now was the new dark gold-tier boss that had appeared in the Zombie World.
While gold-tier zombies were rare, they would occasionally emerge, but a dark gold-tier Ghost General was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku stated sternly, "Commanders of the Four Seas, each of you will dispatch an additional two hundred elite players to reinforce Jiang Family Town!"
"Two hundred people?"
The commanders' expressions changed slightly, and they all wanted to refuse.
The elite Navy unit had already drawn five hundred elite players from each commander; now they were asked to send even more reinforcements.
Cultivating elite players was not easy,
and every loss of an elite player caused the commanders immense heartache.
But seeing Sengoku's grim face, no one wanted to be the first to object, so they grudgingly agreed.
Qing Country Ghost Story world.
The elite Navy unit, in conjunction with the four Admirals,
drove away all the small pirate crews trying to pick up scraps, the weak country ninjas and wandering samurai from the Ninja World, and ordinary players from the Demon Slayer and Claymore worlds, with large-scale lava and poisonous fog.
The remaining players were all forces with a [First-Rate Player] at their helm.
The Straw Hat Pirates, the Desert Circus led by Buggy, the former captain of the Buggy Pirates, and Crocodile, the former Shichibukai,
the Charlotte Family, who escaped the Navy prison, whose current head [Katakuri] is a Mochi-Mochi Fruit user, currently possesses [2800 Combat Power] by virtue of the Whole Cake Island legacy and his own talent.
In the distance,
there were also ninjas from the Four Countries and Dawn players who, upon hearing the news, were constantly arriving from other places.
"Whoosh…"
The howling wind, carrying scarlet raindrops, smashed onto the ground.
Containing extremely strong Yin energy, it easily extinguished the scorching lava and dissolved the poisonous fog released by Smoker.
Inside the Ghost General's tomb cave,
it was like a torn bag, continuously spewing out sky-obscuring Yin winds.
"So comfortable, that useless physician delayed my transformation into a perfect life form, but I didn't expect to benefit from misfortune…"
In a dark corner, Muzan Kibutsuji narrowed his eyes, spread his arms, and wore an expression of enjoyment.
The blood rain and Yin wind falling on him nourished him like sweet dew.
[Poison Zombie Corpse Controller Lv.29], 1200 Combat Power.
Muzan Kibutsuji's face was agitated, feeling his flesh and blood filled with Yin energy, trembling all over.
Initially, when Orochimaru used him as a rapidly growing meat shield to resist Naruto Uzumaki's holy flames, the Demon King almost died in humiliation.
Fortunately, his life-saving abilities were strong enough.
"This Ghost General is indeed powerful. If I can obtain the [Ghost General's Heart], my incomplete mutated Yin body will be able to transform into an [Yin Corpse]!"
"At that time, I will definitely kill Naruto Uzumaki!"
Muzan Kibutsuji did not dare to provoke the strongest player, Orochimaru.
The psychological trauma Orochimaru left him even surpassed Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Therefore,
this hatred for almost being killed could only be transferred to Naruto Uzumaki, who seemed a bit weaker.
"Muzan Kibutsuji!"
A furious roar,
what came into view were swaying Hanafuda earrings, Muzan Kibutsuji's heart trembled slightly, and he instinctively clutched his head and crouched down.
The blade grazed his scalp,
blood stained his handsome face, making him look hideous.
Muzan Kibutsuji steadied himself, looked up, and after seeing clearly, immediately sneered, "You're called Tanjiro, right?"
It wasn't Yoriichi Tsugikuni,
just an ordinary person whose ancestor had contact with Yoriichi Tsugikuni. He really scared himself.
However, even if Yoriichi Tsugikuni were to revive now, he could only be torn to shreds by him.
Tanjiro's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, "Muzan Kibutsuji, I finally caught you! I'm going to cut off your neck!"
"By you, little brat?"
Muzan Kibutsuji's face showed disdain, Yin energy floated all over him, and a layer of purplish-black [Corpse Skin] covered his body.
His canines protruded, and his nails were long and narrow.
He looked exactly like a living corpse.
Whoosh…
Muzan Kibutsuji swung his arms, his nails cut through the air, and four poisonous claws condensed from corpse qi flew out.
[Poison Zombie Corpse Controller] is a very rare game ability.
After all, the probability of a living person being able to merge with [corpse poison] is not high.
Muzan Kibutsuji, relying on his [Demon Body] advantage, successively merged with zombie poison and biochemical viruses, finally developing this peculiar game ability.
Essentially,
Muzan Kibutsuji had already transformed into a zombie and could freely manipulate corpse qi.
"…"
Sensing the familiar corpse qi, Tanjiro's expression was strange.
He dodged the poisonous claws, raised his long sword, forged from fine steel, offered on a Daoist altar for five years, and enchanted with demon-exorcising power.
He quickly approached,
and slashed!
It fell as smoothly as a hot knife cutting through butter, stunning Muzan Kibutsuji's confident expression.
He retreated repeatedly, his face changing in surprise, "Are you a Demon Exorcist Taoist?"
"That's right."
Tanjiro, who was taken in by Master Nine, had cultivated game abilities that were precisely for dealing with zombies.
He didn't expect Muzan Kibutsuji to actually be a zombie.
If you had told me you were a Demon Exorcist Taoist earlier, I would have avoided you sooner. Who would stand there and let you cut them?
Muzan Kibutsuji's expression was uncertain,
[Corpse Skin Lv.25] could greatly enhance defense, and even if he stood still and let himself be cut, ordinary weapons couldn't break through his defense.
He didn't expect his confidence to be shattered directly.
"Goodbye, Tanjiro!"
Muzan Kibutsuji's face was cold, killing intent erupted, but he still chose to retreat in the end.
The Demon Slayer Corps always acted in groups; if he delayed any longer, he would be entangled by the arriving Demon Slayer Corps.
What he wanted was the Ghost General's heart material,
he didn't want to start a meaningless conflict.
"Don't even think about running, Muzan Kibutsuji!"
Tanjiro exhaled scorching red mist, a result of his Sun Breathing being enhanced, possessing extremely strong destructive and evil-restraining abilities.
Muzan Kibutsuji quickly retreated backward,
where he had stood, corpses crawled out of the soil, shielding Tanjiro like a wall.
Roar…
A deafening roar, like a prehistoric beast awakening.
The Yin wind and blood rain seemed to smell their master, dragged by an invisible pull, frantically surging into the tomb.
The Ghost General, who broke through the tomb cave,
wore Qing Country official robes, with scarlet armor underneath, and while he didn't have a burly physique, the aura he exuded even shocked Shanks.
