Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

"The breath of fire! The shape of Si! The winding of Shengyan!"

Amidst the shrill sound of air raid sirens.

With a high-spirited roar sounded.

The raging fire waves turned into swirling fire pillars, rising from the ground into the sky.

Even though there are still many army soldiers in Loulan City who use the 'Breath of Flame' sword move.

But the momentum of this pillar of fire was still extremely powerful.

Because of the master who cast it.

It is the man with the name of ‘Pillar of Flames’.

The current Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Headquarters, Anjurou Purgatory!

[Boom, boom, boom...]

The huge spiral fire pillar looks like a menacing flame tornado.

Withstanding the bombardment of purple light balls.

In the blink of an eye, it swallowed up the gray-black figure in the night sky.

"Huh? Puppet?"

In mid-air, Anjuro was surprised to find that what he had chopped into pieces was not a human body, but pieces of broken metal mechanism.

He is no stranger to puppets.

Because the Demon Slayer Corps once had a mechanism puppet named "Yuan-10 Type".

He can use six swords to imitate the "Breath of the Sun" sword move used by Enichi Tsukuni.

In addition, as an army lieutenant colonel of the main battle corps, he will naturally receive intelligence about the puppets of Shayin Village and Loulan Kingdom.

So Anjuro immediately scanned the surroundings, trying to find the opponent's puppet master.

But he found that there was no one to be found under the empty night.

Invisible?

At the same time, nearby puppets were already attacking him from different directions.

Purgatory Anjuro can only step on the 'Moon Step' to quickly dodge various attacks.

These slender puppets with four arms are not only capable of shooting purple light bullets from their hands.

They have two elbow joints similar to those of the 'long-handed people', so their arms appear particularly slender.

In addition, these slender arms can be further detached and connected to each other by only a chakra line. They tried to grab Anjurou's limbs, but were easily cut off by Anjurou with the flaming Nichirin sword in his hand. .

The strange puppets saw that they were no match for Anjuro in close combat, so they stopped trying to get close as if they had intelligence.

Some continued to use their four palms to create purple balls of light.

Some opened their wrists and fired out dense silver thousand books.

Some even spit out purple-black poisonous smoke from their mouths.

The key point is that the flying ability of these puppets is more flexible and faster than the 'Moon Step''s feet stepping on the air.

This left Purgatory Anjuro under siege by multiple puppets who kept their distance.

All he could do was to use various 'breath of fire' sword moves to resist left and right.

Situations like this.

At this moment, there are everywhere in the sky of Loulan City.

Although the combat power of a colonel or lieutenant colonel can gain the upper hand in close combat, it is difficult to catch up once the distance is extended.

Moreover, it is not known whether these puppets have ‘learning intelligence’ themselves or are controlled by someone.

After losing many puppets.

Beginning to be able to cope with breathing sword moves and various physical techniques in a decent manner.

However, it is still very difficult to deal with ultra-high-speed moves such as Lan Kou and Thunder Breath.

at the same time.

The Army and CIPHER POL responded.

The methods and performance of these puppets are also quickly understood.

First, turn on the lights throughout the city that have been arranged in advance.

Completely expel the darkness inside and outside the city.

Then the already noisy gunfire became more intensive.

The sound of "ta-ta-ta-ta-ta" fire completely covered the shrill air defense sirens.

From time to time, there was the sound of "bang bang bang" heavy sniper rifle gunfire.

They ring every time.

He can always blow up a puppet trying to fire purple light bombs in the air.

I have to say that firearms are indeed useful sometimes.

Sakaski, who was in front of the central tower gate, did not take any action during the whole process.

Even if a few puppets tried to attack him before, Shiliu was responsible for solving them.

Sakaski was thinking, where did these puppets come from?

Based on the intelligence they learned in advance and the information collected from all parties after arrival.

The ninja world should not have the ability to carry out air strikes in an organized manner.

Even Sand Hidden Village had the ability to control the puppet troops beyond visual range with the help of Crocodile, using the combination of 'Loulan Puppet', 'Phone Bug' and 'Shukaku Chakra'.

Other Ninja Villages...

It seems that it was said that the Kong Ninja Village, which was destroyed by Konoha Village during the Second Ninja War ten years ago, had the ability to carry out air strikes.

However, intelligence said that they did not rely on puppets, but a single-soldier flying vehicle powered by ninja chakra.

Therefore, their army did not make any preparations for air defense after occupying Loulan City.

After about an hour, all the attacking puppets were eliminated.

Loulan City once again returned to its previous tranquility.

Only the exploded roads, city walls, empty bridges, and even the outer walls of the minaret all proved that a battle had indeed taken place here just now.

In this case, Sakaski could only give up his plan to go to Iwagakure Village.

After all, no one can guarantee whether there will be another air raid next.

At the same time, he asked people to collect those puppets and show them to the alchemists who were studying dragon veins in the underground palace.

At the same time, he informed the Canberra mainland of the Giant World on the other side of the Star Gate to send in a batch of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns as soon as possible.

As for the origin of these puppets, Sakaski felt that he needed to report it to the World Government in Starfish's homeland.

Maybe they can use that mysterious precognitive ability to give themselves an explanation.

On the other side, inside the underground palace.

I saw Dean Isaac from the ‘Teigu World’, the Kingdom of Alkme, and the Academy of Truth Alchemy.

I don't know when I closed my eyes tightly and sat cross-legged next to the seal altar.

Behind him stood the young disciple he had taken in the 'Zero Demon World'.

Damian is only ten years old this year.

He was still the same, holding an 'ancient alchemy holy object' that looked like a saxophone in his hand.

A pair of blue eyes curiously looked at the surrounding environment and the figures coming and going.

The members of various departments who passed by would look at this cute little boy with blond hair and blue eyes with curious eyes.

They wondered how such a young child could appear here?

At this time, Dean Isaac, who had been sitting cross-legged for nearly an hour, opened his eyes, filled with surprise.

"All the worlds, all the worlds, there are so many wonders!"

He thought he had received enough surprises in the 'Zero Demon World'.

Unexpectedly, this 'ninja world' would bring even greater surprises.

Dean Isaac was actually very depressed for a while.

Because I don’t know why.

His 'Stigmata Alchemy' suddenly cannot be used in the 'Starfish World'.

However, normal alchemy can work. This situation puzzled him.

After researching for a long time, I had no choice but to give up temporarily because I had no clue.

It wasn't until he was invited by Mr. Xio, who had the title of 'Wind Alchemist', to go to the 'Zero Demon World' to experience magical magic, and accepted Damian, a talented disciple, that he finally felt happy.

"Dean Isaac, have you gained anything?"

A senior researcher in a white coat came over and asked softly.

Behind him was a man in black wearing a suit and leather shoes who remained silent.

Damian also turned his curious eyes to his teacher.

"Um......"

Dean Isaac pondered for a moment and reviewed the contents of the conversation with 'Dragon Pulse' in his mind.

"First of all, the 'dragon vein' is indeed the 'earth vein', which is what we alchemists often call the 'power of crustal movement'."

He paused, smiled and joked: "Of course, according to your Academy of Sciences Dean Vegapunk."

"It can also be said that the magma in the planet's core radiates to the surface in veins, causing tectonic movements that change the crustal structure caused by stress within the planet..."

"If you explain it this way, it should be easier for you scientists to understand, right?"

The senior researcher smiled awkwardly.

He did feel that Dean Vegapunk's statement was more scientific.

Then I recorded it with the phone bug in my hand.

Dean Isaac didn’t care, it was just a joke.

After previous contacts, he quite liked the great scientist who was full of wonderful imaginations about the future and seemed to have the ability to realize it.

"But the key is that this 'Dragon Vein' is a self-aware 'Earth Vein', but its energy is too powerful and it cannot control its own energy well. As a result, most alchemists are using alchemy to break through this so-called layer. After the sealing operation, when communicating with it on a spiritual level, the brain is easily affected by a strong impact, a bit like the domineering domineering color of your starfish..."

"I see......"

Several scientific researchers and alchemists around him nodded their heads.

“So have you communicated with ‘Dragon Pulse’?”

"right."

Dean Isaac looked at the altar at his feet and continued.

“According to ‘Dragon Vein’, about a thousand years ago, there was a strange giant tree that reached the sky and took root here, using countless long and thick roots to absorb the natural energy of the planet.”

"The 'power of the earth' is of course also included. It is the ignorant self-awareness born in 'pain'."

"Later, just as it gradually developed an emotion called 'despair,' the tree suddenly disappeared one day."

"This naturally made it very happy, but it was helpless to find that the tree's previous sucking behavior had seriously harmed the nature of this world, and the originally green land turned yellow and deserted."

"For this reason, it made a contract with the leader of the time, the first queen of the Loulan nation. As long as Loulan helps restore nature, it is willing to obey the orders of the queen's descendants."

After hearing this, the senior researcher said thoughtfully: "So if we want to use the 'Dragon Veins', we must find the Queen of Loulan?"

"Probably not."

At this time, Damian, who looked like a young lady, was holding the ‘Big Saxophone’ in his arms and looked up at Dean Isaac.

"Teacher, you mentioned the contract before, but judging from the current situation in Loulan, it is obvious that the queens of Loulan in the past have not fulfilled the agreement."

"That's right."

Dean Isaac touched Damian's blond hair and praised, "You are such a smart boy."

Damian looked helpless.

He doesn't like having his head touched, but who knows that the other person is the teacher he recognizes?

"According to the memories of 'Dragon Vein', after the two parties signed the contract, the queens of the past generations did lead the people of Loulan to plant trees on the land that had turned yellow, which greatly improved the surrounding environment in a short period of time."

"But they found that the trees they planted did not survive for long, perhaps due to lack of rain or due to increasingly severe storms."

"But they didn't give up, and they kept finding new saplings to plant. But as time went by, they watched the trees die, and the green land further away gradually turned into a purple desert, and finally they lost their lives. Dry tears and choose to give up in despair, eh..."

Dean Isaac sighed repeatedly, he was only speaking now.

But what 'Dragon Vein' showed him at that time was 'replay'.

He felt that he would never forget the scene where the 78th-generation Queen of Loulan was crawling in this underground palace and crying loudly about six hundred years ago.

Damian felt heavy after hearing this.

But after all, I just listened to it, but I didn’t feel much.

"It is extremely difficult to prevent land desertification, let alone when the 'Power of Earth Lines' has suffered serious losses..."

"So the contract between 'Dragon Vein' and Queen Loulan should be considered invalid, right?"

Dean Isaac nodded.

"Yes, 'Dragon Vein' said that it no longer needs to obey Queen Loulan's orders."

"It's just that the Loulan clan is doing their best after all, so they will still respond to their requests."

The senior researcher from the Academy of Sciences' eyes lit up.

"So can we sign a contract with 'Dragon Vein'?"

"Yes, yes, but do we have the ability to fulfill the contract?"

Dean Isaac looked at the other party in confusion.

After hearing this, the latter asked with the same confusion: "Can't you do the alchemy of the stigmata?"

"..."

Dean Isaac was speechless.

In this 'Ninja World', his 'Stigma Alchemy' can indeed be used, but...

"Mr. Researcher, trees are also living entities, and making life out of nothing is an absolute taboo for alchemists, so even if the teacher and I can do it, we will not do it."

Damian stood up and explained on the teacher's behalf.

"this......"

The researcher frowned.

He felt that this kind of taboo was simply ridiculous when placed within the World Government.

You know, the Academy of Biochemical Sciences is playing with life every day.

"But we can help turn deserts into soil suitable for tree growth."

Damian noticed the change in the atmosphere and quickly added.

Dean Isaac raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"This is a good idea, but the desert of the Kingdom of Wind is so vast. We, master and apprentice, don't know how long we will be able to do it."

"Teacher, we can use the 'land alchemy array' you mentioned before to draw a large-scale alchemy array on the land by changing the landscape, and then use our 'stigma alchemy' to transform most of the desert here into Soil, we can even let the 'Dragon Veins' help bear the energy that needs to be consumed!"

Damian was very excited and spoke out his thoughts in one breath.

"This... is feasible. As for trees, once there is soil, the World Government can send people to plant them..."

Dean Isaac touched his chin and said.

From the bottom of his heart, of course he is willing to help this desert restore its appearance thousands of years ago.

According to ‘Dragon Vein’.

As long as the environment in the Kingdom of Wind is restored, a large amount of natural energy can be produced, allowing it to make up for the 'origin' lost thousands of years ago within a few years.

"As for the trees, you can ask General Aramaki from the Army Headquarters. He is a user with the 'Sensen Fruit' ability of the natural system. This kind of thing should be easy."

The senior researcher suggested calmly.

He had actually thought about it, if Dean Isaac was unwilling to help, he would apply to Admiral Aramaki to solve the desert problem.

Just use the awakening ability of the 'Sensen Fruit' a few more times.

I think it won't be long before we can create acres and acres of forest vegetation.

But since these two 'Stigmata Alchemists' are willing to help, there is no need to ask Admiral Aramaki to use Awakening.

He just creates trees on the soil and they grow on their own.

It has an effect similar to that of a natural ability user who permanently changes the environment after awakening.

"Then I will sign a contract with 'Dragon Vein' now..."

Dean Isaac turned around and prepared to sit cross-legged again.

"Please wait."

But at this moment a cold voice stopped him.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the man in black who had spoken.

"The candidate who signs a contract with the 'Dragon Vein' needs to be decided by the top management of the world government. Please, Dean Isaac and your disciples, return to the 'Giant World' with us for the time being and wait for the news."

"But why is this necessary? 'Dragon Veins' is the 'power of earth veins', and it can be utilized to its fullest extent only when it is controlled by Teacher Isaac, who is the Stigmata Alchemist!"

Damian said loudly in confusion.

"Think about it, how powerful a Stigma Alchemist with the energy support of the entire planet's ley lines would be in this world?"

It is simply equivalent to holding an almost infinite amount of ‘Philosopher’s Stone’.

As long as the energy of the 'Dragon Veins' is sufficient, he can completely transform the entire continent at will.

For example, turning all the land of the 'Ninja Realm' into gold or diamonds...

The man in black glanced at Damian coldly: "So we need permission from above."

"All right."

Dean Isaac had no choice but to suppress the desire and impulse in his heart and agree.

What impulse?

That is to sign a contract directly with ‘Dragon Vein’.

Then use the power of the entire "ninja world" to resist the world government.

There is no need to be too tough, just force the world government to compromise and accept the reality.

But when he thought that by doing so, he might lose his hometown and everyone in the college, his reason finally suppressed his impulse.

This is the powerful reason that belongs to the Stigma Alchemist.

You can control yourself even in the face of a whole world of temptations.

"Then please..."

But just when the man in black was about to take Dean Isaac and the angry Damian back to the 'Giant World'.

Suddenly the roar of explosions began to be heard from above.

Then a shrill alarm sounded...

"Is this an enemy attack?"

The senior researcher looked up in surprise at the top where yellow light flashed from time to time.

"There is no need to panic, General Akainu is here, Dean Isaac, please..."

The man in black calmly stretched out his hand and pointed at the 'Star Gate'.

In his opinion, the issue of signing the ‘Dragon Vein’ is more important.

The military has military responsibilities.

CIPHER POL also has its own responsibilities.

Everyone just performs their duties, this is the world government...
