Chapter 36: Sengoku Gets Rebuke!
In the tent, a faint fragrance permeated the air.
Shizuka and Rei Miyamoto swallowed the warm milk.
Kaos nodded in satisfaction. "You did a good job. It seems that you are indeed my believers. If that's the case, I can let you follow me."
Saying this, Kaos grabbed Shizuka's chin and looked at her face, which was obviously very mature yet had a naturally dull expression. Kaos chuckled softly. "If you just want to live a stable life with peace of mind, I can grant that to you. Just help me manage the believers in the future."
"But if you want to gain power..."
Kaos looked at Rei Miyamoto again. "That depends on whether you have the capability. So, what's your answer?"
The former is a vase.
The latter is the blade in Kaos's hand.
Such a choice.
After Shizuka and Rei Miyamoto looked at each other, they nodded without hesitation. "We are willing to be the blade."
"Very good."
Kaos nodded in satisfaction and looked at Stussy. "Then the two of them are entrusted to you."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Stussy nodded with a smile and agreed.
Subsequently, the two women were taken away by Stussy.
Kaos then met Blueno.
A person with the Door-Door Fruit ability.
To be honest, this fruit can be regarded as a concept-based Devil Fruit.
It has the ability to open doors anywhere.
Neither flames, ice, nor air—whether tangible or intangible—can stop the opening of doors, which then allows teleportation through them.
The ability to open doors can also be used on the human body.
This can be seen from the battle in the original book with Luffy.
After opening the door, a space is formed inside it, allowing living people to enter and move through it spatially.
What does this mean?
Describing this ability:
Not only does it have the ability to travel through space, but it also serves as a storage function.
It's a pity that its increase in combat power isn't that great; otherwise, this would be a truly powerful fruit.
"Your Highness."
At this time, Blueno, without as many beards as in the original story, knelt on one knee after seeing Kaos, bowing his head respectfully.
Kaos asked with interest. "Are you the user of the Door-Door Fruit?"
"Yes."
"How far has the fruit's ability been developed?"
"What do you mean?"
"I need you for ultra-long-distance teleportation."
Hearing this, Blueno immediately nodded. "No problem. With my physical fitness, I can support up to two uses."
"Twice is enough."
Kaos immediately showed a satisfied expression, taking out a Den Den Mushi, dialing a member of the CP organization, and asking them to come and take Blueno away.
With Blueno, even the continent on the other side of the ocean could be reached in an instant.
Significant.
Next.
Kaos was not busy.
He quietly controlled the overall situation in the tent.
In the meantime, he explored his own abilities.
If Kaos's current abilities were displayed in the form of an attribute panel, it would probably look like this:
[Kaos]
[Power: Top!]
[Physical: Top-notch!]
[Speed: Top!]
[Spirit: Top!]
[Fruit Ability: Angel Fruit (Elementary)]
[Other Abilities: Fast Learning, Quick Memory, Overlord Physique!]
[Haki: Armament Haki (Advanced), Observation Haki (Top), Conqueror's Haki (Intermediate).]
[Passive Ability: Baptism of Faith.]
This is Kaos's current ability attribute.
Due to the rewards he received at the start, Kaos's physical attributes have been greatly enhanced, and he has gained a powerful physique comparable to Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. In terms of physical fitness, he has risen to the top level of the Pirate World.
Then there is the Devil Fruit, which he has just obtained and has yet to develop further, so it remains at the elementary level.
As for Armament Haki, since he hasn't mastered Emission and other techniques, it hasn't reached the top level.
In terms of Conqueror's Haki, Kaos naturally possesses it, but he hasn't developed it much, so it's only at an intermediate level.
In fact, Kaos awakened his Conqueror's Haki when he was five years old.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so valued.
After all, just an extraordinary mind isn't enough to bear great responsibilities.
Based on attributes alone, Kaos's strength is indeed terrifying.
But with more worlds waiting for him in the future, Kaos naturally wants to strive to become even stronger.
Relying on his learning abilities, Kaos's strength improves every day.
Any question can be answered from scratch.
Similarly, as Kaos's strength improved, in this city, Sengoku was also leading his subordinates to attack, slaughter zombies, and complete Kaos's orders to clean up the city.
On the first day, Sengoku and his men cleared almost two-thirds of the city's zombies.
With Observation Haki, no zombie could escape the Marines and CP members.
Even those hiding in the sewers were found immediately and killed with a single punch.
But on the second day, Sengoku arrived outside Kaos's tent.
"Your Highness, Marshal Sengoku asks to see you."
"Oh?"
In the tent, Kaos sat on the soft sofa, with holy light emanating from his palm, constantly changing shapes to improve his control over it.
Upon hearing what Stussy said, Kaos, though surprised, still responded, "Let him in."
As the voice fell, Stussy left.
Then, Sengoku entered.
Bowing to Kaos, he reported, "Your Highness, if there are no accidents, the zombies in this city will be completely cleared today, bringing it under our control."
"However, there is a problem that requires your decision."
Kaos frowned. "What is it?"
"Some survivors in remote areas have likely noticed our presence, so they've banded together and are willing to disband their camps and join us—but only if they can speak with you directly. Otherwise, they'd rather resist to the end."
"Ah."
Kaos sneered instantly, glaring at Sengoku coldly and shouting instinctively. "Sengoku, are you out of your mind? You need to report this kind of thing to me?"
"They're just a group of survivors banded together."
"Do they have the right to make demands?"
"Moreover, you should remember they are not joining us."
"It's surrender!"
"It can only be surrender!"
"And besides, random people want to speak to me? Who do they think they are?"
Kaos stood up suddenly, his gaze cold. "I really wonder where your title, The Resourceful General came from. Could it be self-bestowed? Can't you figure this out? If these people are unwilling to surrender, then eliminate them!"
"Understand?"
Hearing this, Sengoku quickly lowered his head, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and smiled wryly.
It was also because they were in this other world, and considering how highly those above regarded this place, he had been so out of sorts.
But hearing Kaos's words now, he understood what to do, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
After all, they weren't ordinary people in their own world.
Even as a Marine marshal, he could still accomplish this.
So, Sengoku respectfully said, "Understood, Your Highness."
"Get out!"
"If you make this mistake again, you won't be sitting in this seat anymore!"
