Chapter 2396 Holy Shield, Evil Ocean, Guernica!

Chapter 2396 Holy Shield. Evil Ocean. Guernica!

"report!"

"Guernica Squad reports for duty!"

Guernica and her three companions had arrived at the CP9 commander's office and were looking respectfully at Lucas, who was sitting behind the desk.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, you did a great job."

"After the president of Chadoulan Star and a large number of experts under his political enemies were assassinated by you."

"The two sides are now completely locked in combat."

"It is unlikely that we will be able to support the Galactic Empire's operations in the short term."

Wearing sapphire earrings and through dark red lenses in his sunglasses, Ruschi briefly explained the subsequent developments to the four people.

Maha, being rather lively, cheerfully replied, "Sir, they're just a bunch of leopard-type orcs whose swordsmanship isn't even at the fourth level; they can't be considered experts."

"Maha!"

Guernica frowned: "How many blows can you withstand from their lightsabers? Don't always underestimate your opponents, or you'll get into trouble sooner or later!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Maha didn't argue, nodding repeatedly, then chuckled, "The universe is so vast, there must be many powerful beings here."

"For example, those three major mercenary races, one of which is even known as the strongest fighting race in the universe."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a boastful tone~"

"Alright, Guernica stays. The rest of you can go back and rest."

Laschi gave the order in a calm tone.

"Sir?"

After her three teammates left the office, Guernica asked in confusion.

But Ruschi's words were astonishing.

"Lord Im ordered me to take you to the Void Palace of the Holy Land for an audience."

Lasch looked at Guernica with curiosity in his eyes.

He couldn't understand why Lord Im would take a liking to such an ordinary CP9 member.

But in any case, this guy's fate is about to change drastically, and it's very likely to be for the better.

For example, if Lord Im wanted to cause trouble for Guernica, he wouldn't need to meet her at all.

I could kill the other party on the spot.

"Uh...who is Lord Im?" Guernica asked, her face full of confusion.

However, he could vaguely guess that they might be Celestial Dragons.

But if they are Celestial Dragons, shouldn't they be addressed with "Saint" or "Palace" after their name?

"This is the name of the great Creator. Remember not to reveal it to anyone."

Lasch stood up and said in a deep voice.

"What?!"

Guernica was struck as if by a thunderbolt, and she froze completely in place.

Starfish Creator. Creator. The legendary creator of the Celestial Dragons' divine miracle star gate. Also known as the 'Five Stars Converging in the Sea'.
In that instant, his mind was flooded with information about Im.

Lasch was not surprised by this and patiently waited for him to process it.

It was always because Gernika lost his composure in front of the Emperor that Lord Im had to wait for him.

Fortunately, he was a seasoned special agent, and his mental fortitude far exceeded that of ordinary people.

He gradually regained his composure within a minute or two.

"Sir, why me?"

"Heh, I'd like to know too, what's so special about you?"

Raschi shook his head and said, "Or are you hiding a big secret that Lord Im is interested in?"

As he spoke, his sharp eyes behind the scarlet sunglasses scanned Guernica up and down, trying to see through her completely.

That's exactly what they did.

Unfortunately, as the true ancestor of the vampire clan, he never noticed anything amiss.

“How could that be, sir?” Guernica said with a wry smile.

What secrets could someone like him, who is likely to remain at the major general level forever, possibly have?

As for lieutenant general.

It can only be said that the combat strength of a lieutenant general today is not on the same level as that of a lieutenant general ten years ago.

There was a saying that went something like this: "A lieutenant general is the starting point for monsters and the end point for mortals."

Now, the first sentence remains unchanged, but the second sentence is gone.

Because the ultimate goal for ordinary people has become the combat strength of a major general, which is the limit for a few ordinary people.

Most people simply cannot cross the threshold of becoming a general.

"Never mind, once we reach the Void Palace, everything will become clear."

Lashchi stopped pondering it; he believed that in front of Lord Im, no secret could be hidden.

the other side.

Im has arrived at the Void Palace of Mary Geoise, the 'Holy Land'.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Giant Warrior had already secured both the inside and outside.

He was sitting on the Throne of Eternity and Creation, contemplating the matter of Guernica.

He didn't expect this person at first either.

Later, he directly foresaw the future and became the inheritor of the 'Evil Ocean Water'.

Guernica.

In the future of the original timeline, he appears in Wano Country as a member of CP0.

It didn't leave much of an impression.

He risked his life to intervene in the final battle between Kaido and Luffy.

Although he was eventually killed by Kaido's multiple blows.

However, before he died, he took a picture of Luffy and Nikka in their awakened Devil Fruit state.

He finally achieved his moment of glory.

This is a mission that prioritizes the task above all else, and is willing to sacrifice one's life to complete it.

Even colleagues, if they obstruct the execution of a mission, will be regarded as an obstacle and eliminated as an excellent agent.

Although their strength is not very great, their loyalty to the World Government is unwavering.

Recalling all this, Im immediately understood why he ultimately chose the other person.

So what if you're weak?
He can make him famous in no time if he wants, just like he is now.

After a while.

At the other end of the red carpet, the metal gate was slowly pushed open by the 'Giant' Kashi and the 'Gate Giant' Oimo.

Then they saw Lasci lead Guernica in.

The latter's expression and movements were somewhat stiff, and he kept his eyes down, not daring to look up.

He didn't release any of his Observation Haki.

He could only tell that there were five figures on the second level by the shadows of the triple-tiered platform.

The one sitting at the very top must be the Creator, Lord Im.

"Reporting to Lord Im, CP9 member Guernica has been brought here!"

After reaching the appropriate position, Ruschi immediately knelt down in a gesture of respect.

Guernica quickly followed suit, opening her mouth as if to introduce herself, but unable to utter a sound.

The terrifying aura emanating from above made him feel suffocated.

“Guernica, Mu summoned you here because he foresaw your brilliant performance in the future and your loyalty to the World Government in the long river of time.”

"Therefore, Mu intends to grant you power beyond destiny, to make you one of CIPHER POL's holy shields."

"But whether you accept this power or not, Mu is willing to give you the right to refuse."

Im's aloof and arrogant voice had barely faded when...

Under the watchful eyes of Lucas, Ryu Hayabusa, Karna, Mirapolias, Zenon, Accardo, and others.

Guernica suddenly felt a flood of information appear in her mind.

Evil ocean water?
Abandoning human identity to become an alien life form capable of controlling the ocean?
Similar to a water elemental spirit.
This made Guernica understand why she had to choose whether or not to accept it.

At the same time, I feel grateful to Im.

After all, one could simply transfer their soul without even discussing it.

"Hiss—whoosh—"

"Lord Im, I am willing to harness the power of the evil ocean waters for you and the World Government!"

"Protect the Celestial Dragons' ruling interests and eliminate all villains who dare to resist!"

Guernica took a deep breath and gave a firm answer.

"very good."

"From today onwards, you will join CIPHER POL - AIGIS 0 and be granted the Holy Shield title 'Evil Ocean'."

Although he already knew the outcome, Im was still satisfied with his attitude.

next second.

The core of the evil ocean water, which had been cleansed of the evil god's will, appeared beside Guernica.

A clump of clear water in which two eyeballs float.
