Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2697 Whoosh! This genius has arrived!

Colonel Maynard, who was leading the way, noticed that the people behind him had stopped.

But he neither urged him nor scolded him.

We simply waited quietly for them to recover from their shock.

This is the Navy Headquarters' way of intimidating these "troublemakers".

No words were needed to make them realize that they were not special here.

Until everyone's attention returned to him.

Colonel Maynard finally spoke, "Have you seen enough?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"This is the Sea Moon of the Starfish, the location of the Marine Headquarters."

"It is also the military hub for the world government to conquer the universe and the stars."

Maynard allowed them to be glanced at out of the corner of their eyes by passing naval officers.

“I know that you were all powerful figures on your respective planets and in your respective organizations, and you even had titles such as ‘Night King,’ ‘Ominous Star,’ and ‘Strongest Fighting Race.’”

As he said this, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"But here, put away any pride you may have, and throw away all those titles."

“You can take them back once you have the strength to establish yourself here.”

Upon hearing this, Shenwei, Sun, Fengxian, and the others fell silent.

Because they know that what the other party is saying is true.

"Next, I will take you to the 'boot camp'."

Maynard continued, "Since you've chosen to join the Navy, you must abide by the rules here."

"Starting today—no, it should be tomorrow—you will undergo six months of intensive study and training."

"There will be a final assessment in six months."

Maynard's expression turned extremely serious.

"Remember, only those who pass the test are qualified to wear this uniform, or even don the coat of justice, and become a real naval soldier or officer."

"What if it doesn't pass?"

Feng Xian suddenly spoke. Although his voice sounded slightly old, it still carried the authority of someone in a superior position.

"Good question."

Colonel Maynard held up two fingers and said.

"If you don't pass in the end, or if you are eliminated halfway, you have two options."

"First, as free citizens of the World Government, they should be sent down to live on a starfish or returned to Star Gintama."

Simply put, it means you can go wherever you want.

Hearing this, Fengxian breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the world government has no intention of making things difficult for them.

He originally did not intend to join the military.

After all, he's getting old and has gotten used to the carefree life of nightlife.

Can.
"second."

Maynard paused, then looked at them meaningfully.

"You can apply to transfer to the Astral Legion in the world of giants."

"That was a second-rate force composed of regular soldiers from various member worlds."

"Usually used as the vanguard in foreign wars."

"Although their combat strength and status are not as good as ours, they are still a pretty good choice."

“Your people in prison told me…”

Fengxian spoke again, her tone now filled with anticipation.

"If you accumulate enough military merits in the army, you can exchange them for a potion that can make you younger?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Sun, who was standing next to him, also suddenly looked up.

Beneath the straw hat, his scarlet eyes revealed an undisguised longing.

For these powerful men who are nearing the end of their lives.

Power, money, status, and even freedom are not as valuable as time, lifespan, and youth.

"Yes."

Maynard nodded and said affirmatively:
"Battle merits can indeed be exchanged for 'Zero Magic Elf Serum' that can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years."

"I've heard there are even more advanced ones that can extend lifespan by five hundred years, but the requirements for exchanging them are extremely high."

It turned out to be true!
These words struck Fengxian and Sun like a thunderclap.

Their fingers trembled slightly involuntarily.

If only I could regain the physique I had when I was young.

If I could once again possess the power to wield freely...
"Okay!"

A terrifying glint suddenly flashed in Fengxian's eyes.

"I'm determined to pass this test!"

Meanwhile, he was secretly making plans in his mind.

At worst, I can wait until I get the serum and regain my youth, then find another reason to apply for discharge.

As long as he has the power and youth, this 'Night King' will continue to enjoy himself wherever he goes.

Ms. Sun, who was standing to the side, had a slightly different opinion.

Although he could prolong his life through advanced Qigong techniques.

But that's just prolonging life; it's nothing compared to directly increasing one's lifespan.

However, his main purpose in wanting to live was...

But it was all to protect the future of the Yato clan.

To uphold the dignity of the Yato clan and pursue its glory.

He led this endangered race, whose population is estimated to be only a little over a thousand people, to grow and thrive.

I thought that joining the Altana Liberation Army and supporting Prince Yuanxiang would enable me to achieve these goals.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the World Government and that Admiral Kizaru.

"How boring!"

“Old men always care about these kinds of things.”

Kamui yawned, interrupting their conversation with a bored expression.

He looked at Colonel Maynard with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, there should be quite a few capable guys in that training camp, right?"

"Take us there quickly!"

Maynard glanced at the Yato brat who showed him no respect.

If this weren't Justice Square, he would have already taught them a lesson.

He then said calmly, "Let's go."

He believes the training camp will teach Shenwei to respect the strong.

Meanwhile, on Gintama Planet...

The deepest part of Kyoto Prison, where Takasugi Shinsuke, Kamui, and the others had just left.

The air here is filled with a nauseating, stale smell.

It had a mixed smell of damp mold and dried blood.

The dim light cast flickering shadows on the damp stone walls.

The occasional sound of dripping water added to the eeriness and oppression.

suddenly.

This is a heavily guarded area for serious offenders.

A series of slightly frivolous and strange footsteps broke the silence.

"Whoosh whoo ...

Accompanied by that signature, distinctive laugh, several figures stopped in front of a cell.

The leader was dressed in a white coat, had two horns on his head, a pale face, and wore eerie purple lipstick.

He looked both comical and exuded an evil madness.

It belongs to the World Government's Institute of Biochemistry and Biology.

Kaiser Courant, who was recently promoted to doctoral-level researcher.

He was being accompanied by several prison guards and men in black.

With an eye that seems to admire a rare treasure.

Looking through the thick bars, I saw Xu, Long, and Ji, who were imprisoned in adjacent cells.

Their hands and feet were bound by specially made sea stone shackles that could suppress the flow of energy.

"You are the energy life form from that planet, the so-called 'Altana' whose name is 'illusory'?"

Caesar Courren spread his arms wide, making an exaggerated, funny face.

Those inverted triangular eyes stared at Xu, who grinned and asked.

He stuck out his long, slender tongue and licked his purplish lips.

"If I hadn't heard that you become weak and might even die if you were away from this planet for too long..."

"I would have packed you up and taken you back to Impel Down long ago."

"That way, this genius wouldn't have to travel all this way to this rural world in person!"

however.

The expression on the face of the person in question was as calm as a stagnant pool.

Those deep eyes pierced through the dim light.

Silently watch Caesar as he dances and gestures.

His face showed no fear, no anger, not even the slightest ripple of emotion.

As an immortal and indestructible loser, Hollow was prepared to be tortured.

That's been the case for hundreds of years, anyway.

The only difference is that his personality changes after each death.
