Seimei then waved his folding fan and smiled, saying, "Thirdly! I will support the Ryugu Kingdom and help it continue to rise to the position of the World Government, or rather! I want you to become a conference nation. Well! Actually, to put it another way, the Ryugu Kingdom has always been a member of the conference nation, it's just that you never participate in the World Conference."
Not bad!
The Ryugu Kingdom has always been a member of the World Government's governing bodies, but it simply doesn't participate in their meetings. Its strength is far too weak; participation would be meaningless given its status. Therefore, while others do participate, any position that the Ryugu Kingdom desires will undoubtedly belong to it.
"this……"
Neptune asked with slight doubt, "Lord Seimei! In my opinion, everything you've brought out is far beyond the reach of mere Devil Fruit abilities. So why are you inviting us to the World Government meeting?"
actually!
This is the current situation of a superpower, or rather, a wealthy country. What they lack are Devil Fruits? Not at all! For them, having Devil Fruits is not a problem at all; they have dozens, even hundreds! They're not particularly precious. What they lack is a method for steady growth.
A fine horse is common, but a discerning eye is rare! Only a discerning eye can recognize a fine horse; this is an undeniable fact, and you must always acknowledge it.
Even if someone has enough potential, without a qualified teacher to guide them, everything is meaningless. That's the root of the problem! And the same applies to the Ryugu Kingdom. Look at Luffy, the protagonist. If he hadn't received two years of guidance from Rayleigh and built a perfect foundation, everything would have been meaningless.
That's exactly why! The Ryugu Kingdom lacks a fundamental core, which prevents it from becoming stronger. If it possessed such a core, becoming stronger would seem like a very simple matter. However! Such a strengthening would mean the Ryugu Kingdom would break free from Wano Country's control, which would be utterly meaningless.
honestly!
(Wang Lehao)
No one could discern Seimei's true intentions, but faced with such a collaboration and deal, they ultimately had no choice but to agree, because there was no reason to refuse.
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
Neptune nodded earnestly; he had no choice but to agree to the deal. And so the deal was finalized. No contract was needed; that was utterly meaningless! After all, breaching a contract meant the two parties were already at odds, making it pointless.
With the transaction concluded, Seimei, Suzuka Gozen, and many of the shikigami had already left. Since it was over, there was no point in staying any longer; it was time to leave.
"Hehehe~~~"
Throughout, Seimei wore a smile on his lips. Never think that Seimei lost out! Sorry, do you really think this man lost out? Well! You probably think it's a joke. This man is never one to make a losing deal! Since the man named Kurozumi Seimei chose to cooperate, it proves that everything he did was of great significance.
That's the most fundamental reason; this man wouldn't make a losing deal.

Chapter 134: Chaos erupts on the Red Earth! The arrival of the Yamata no Orochi!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Walking along the road, Seimei chuckled lightly and said, "Suzuka, you seem very puzzled and surprised as to why I made this choice, don't you?"
Suzuka Gozen did not deny it, but nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. It's a very strange feeling! For youkai, the weak must obediently submit, but you have given the fish-men a chance. It seems that you are willing to help the fish-men grow stronger."
Seimei said very gently, "It is undeniable that I gave the fish-men such an opportunity. However, do you think that, given the fish-men's character, they will be very honest once they truly grow up? Or rather, this race is actually a very deformed race."
"Yes!"
Suzuka Gozen nodded and said, "That's right! The fish-men are filled with greed and madness, and even more so with an arrogance that the weak should not have. In their eyes, it seems that no one is their match. It's a very strange feeling. Normally, such a situation would not occur among the weak."
"Hehehe~~~"
Seimei smiled and said, "That's right! This is the problem of the Fish-Men. The Fish-Men themselves have huge problems, and when such a race gains power, they will naturally gradually go mad. According to the timeline, this time will probably come in about five years, and at that time, the development of Wano Country will reach a very terrifying level."
"It is undeniable that Wano Country is developing very fast. With your help and support, Wano Country will become stronger and stronger in the future. However, we must not underestimate this world. Back then, the Elbaf Giant Country had eighteen giants. The power of each giant was invincible. However, such power still came to an end."
“Obviously!”
"It's still very difficult to fight against the whole world on one's own. And what do you think would happen if a powerful and arrogant alien race were to emerge in this world?"
Seimei's smile was deep, even unusually gentle, showing no sign of the fluctuations that came from his control over the entire fish-man race as puppets, as if it were as simple as eating and drinking.
Suzuka Gozen shook her head with a hint of teasing and said, "Seimei, you really are dangerous! Indeed, humans are a dangerous bunch. Although yokai are terrifying, they are indeed too naive."
Seimei smiled and said, "This is a very normal thing. For me, apart from you, Wano Country is my homeland. This is the obsession left by my clan. Otherwise, I would not be interested in Wano Country. But no matter what, since I have accepted these responsibilities, I cannot give them up easily. Otherwise, it will be very painful."
"Yes!"
"Hehehe~~~"
Seimei and Suzuka Gozen chatted casually as their figures gradually disappeared into the distance. Under the cover of night, all the shikigami's eyes gleamed with a scarlet light. Just as they had said at the beginning, they were not human at all. What was the point of sympathizing with these people? It was utterly meaningless! They had no sympathy whatsoever! All that remained was endless indifference and detachment.
……
"..."
"His Majesty!"
Otohime looked at Neptune and said softly, "Lord Seimei... what exactly does he want to do?"
To be honest, Otohime was really confused, even unclear, about what benefit this would bring to Seimei. In fact, it was something that would bring absolutely no benefit.
Neptune shook his head and said, "I don't know what the benefits are, but one thing I do know is that this is the best opportunity, and the only opportunity, for Fishman Island. Only by seizing this opportunity can everything be resolved. If we fail to seize this opportunity..."
He shook his head deeply. Neptune knew that these were things he couldn't change. Whatever Seimei's thoughts were, this was the only chance for the fish-men, and for that reason, he had to accept it.
and!
Neptune was well aware that when Seimei wanted his family to participate in the World Conference, it had already proven that he was merely a sword in Seimei's hand, and that as long as he controlled the sword well, it wouldn't be a problem.
pity!
Knowing this was one thing, but Neptune absolutely could not miss such an opportunity. Otherwise, the future of the fish-men would remain shrouded in darkness, an unchangeable fact. This was something Neptune was well aware of.
Indeed! Seimei's actions were like a double-edged sword, but this double-edged sword was very easy to control, in fact! This sword didn't need his control, because it simply couldn't backfire on him!
……
boom!
boom!
The endless roar exploded wildly, and the Yamata no Orochi, with a smile on its lips, gradually spread into the darkness. The smile on its lips was so deep that it had finally witnessed everything it had wanted to see.
"That's really interesting!"
Orochi murmured softly, "That special power is not like the power that humans possess. Or rather! That person has become a god, a special god. Things are getting more and more interesting. The events on the Red Line are becoming so interesting."
"Hehehe~~~"
The Yamata no Orochi's figure vanished without a trace in an instant. The gains from this trip to the Red Line were more than enough; anything else was meaningless. With the Yamata no Orochi's departure, the entire Red Line remained in a state of frenzied chaos.
As the Yamata no Orochi departed, flames soared into the sky and spread across the entire Red Line continent, seemingly threatening to completely engulf it. In a short time, they covered everything.
Crackling!
Crackling!
"Firefighting!"
"This way!"
"quick!"
"Damn it! All the Devil Fruits have disappeared! What?"
"what!"
Everyone looked shocked, and many even looked incredulous, filled with confusion and bewilderment. This situation was just too bizarre; how could such a thing happen?
(ccaf) Okay!
Regardless of the circumstances, this is the reality, and what is truly chilling and terrifying is that this is the mighty Red Earth Continent! And yet, such a place has been invaded, and the identity of the intruder remains unknown. Anger is burning uncontrollably.
try to find!
try to find!
Whoever it is, we must find them and utterly destroy them! In reality, it wasn't just the World Government that was plundered, but also those who traded on the Red Line.
To know!
There are actually two routes to the New World. The first one is obvious: to Fishman Island, which is 10,000 meters below the surface of the ocean. However, pirates are only a minority. Most people actually travel to the New World via the second route: the Red Line. They travel on the Red Line, and over time, trading cities have been established there. This is almost the safest place, where, apart from handing over goods, there is no need to worry about any problems.
Can!
The truth is, something is wrong with the Red Line. Even after the gold, silver, and Devil Fruits have all been lost, they still don't know what happened! Or rather, what exactly happened. And this is the most terrifying and horrifying thing of all.
……
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
With the sound of soft footsteps, the Five Elders gradually gathered in the room. Their expressions were all grim. How many years had it been? So many years! Few had dared to challenge the Five Elders' authority! And yet, today, someone dared to challenge them again? It was tantamount to courting death; this was simply unacceptable.
The curly-haired Five Elders said coldly, "No matter who it is, since they have done such a thing, they must pay the price! The price is their lives!"
"Not bad!"
A cold voice rang out, and the curly-haired Five Elders said indifferently, "Since the other party has done such a thing, they will not hide anything, such as Devil Fruits. Find them! Then, deal with them. Let the three generals of the army take charge of this matter!"
"can!"
The blond elder nodded in agreement, then said, "However! We still need to screen the others. We need to search the whole world, no matter who it is! Even the superpowers are sending people to search. In any case, since some people have already made preparations, let them see what they really represent in this world."
