New Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku.

The Adjudication Division is located in front of the New Tokyo Residence.

Although yesterday Wano Country experienced the handover ceremony of the Prime Minister, the holder of the highest power in the country, the new Prime Minister issued a cry in his inaugural speech on the swearing-in platform for the injustice that Wano Country has suffered for a long time, causing countless people across the country to be excited!

But people's excitement always comes quickly...

Go fast, too.

Perhaps after the inauguration ceremony of the new Prime Minister Higashi Mori Valley yesterday, the excited people who couldn't sleep at night would invite their friends to sit at an izakaya.

With a drunken feeling for all kinds of preferential treatment enjoyed by the heavenly people in the country of Wano, and for all kinds of evil deeds of the ruling division in ignoring the laws of the country of Wano, there was an impassioned angry scolding and denunciation!

However, wait until you wake up from sleep.

The ordinary and mediocre life still has to go on.

Even though I scolded the judge last night with my friends, no matter how hard and indignant I was, when the passers-by with hurried faces passed by the black and gloomy official residence in Chiyoda Ward after work this evening, the people still unconsciously looked away, as if they were afraid that if they looked at it more, they would encounter some misfortune...

Of course, this is not the case for everyone.

At this moment, across the road from the black mansion of the Adjudication Division, a very abrupt group of four people stood on the side of the road casually and naturally.

On the roadside, although the man wearing an ordinary gray coat was not the most outstanding of the four in height and appearance, but the temperament of Yuan Yu Yuezhi could be seen at a glance that he was obviously the core of the four, and the other dazzling people could only become a foil like green leaves beside this man.

The sunset on the western edge slowly sinks,

Twilight is getting thicker.

Against this reddish background, Hoover. Corleone, the captain of the Corleone Pirates, one of the newly promoted Four Kings of the Four Seas, appeared on the streets of Wano Country on the shores of the East China Sea without warning.

He squinted at the Adjudication Division's official residence in New Tokyo, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Old guys always like to build buildings like a horrible coffin, I don't know if it's scary or not, but after staying in that kind of building for a long time, people will inevitably become boring and boring."

When he said this, he didn't look back, and he didn't specify who to talk to.

But the two men and a woman standing around him had their ears moving slightly, apparently paying attention to the man in front of them at all times.

Buck, the big-shouldered, round-waisted, bearded, bear-like deputy captain on the right, scratched his head and said angrily, "Boss, I think the people in the Adjudication Division are quite interesting, especially the high-spirited appearance before they were smashed into meatloaf by me, and I can't sleep happily every time I think about it.... Hahaha. ”

Buck, the big bear-like vice-captain, said and actually laughed out loud, causing the last hurried off-duty people to cast a slightly surprised look at him.

The Adjudication Division is similar to the plague god in the hearts of ordinary people in Wano Country, and most people will wish that they would not have anything to do with the Adjudication Division in their lives, and the accumulated fear makes them always unconsciously speed up their pace when passing by the official residence of the Adjudication Division in New Tokyo.

But these four people were good, standing opposite the official residence of the adjudication department and watching for a long time, one of them actually laughed out loud...

I'm not stupid, is it?

"Are you stupid?"

Someone asked this sentence for a passerby.

The person who said this was Rossetti, the captain of the first detachment of the Corleone Pirates.

She wears a casual women's suit, a pair of stylish pink sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and her figure is long and toned, full of a cheetah-like wild atmosphere.

complained angrily about the deputy captain Buck, and the captain of the first detachment, Rossetti, turned his head to look at the man in front of him whose shoulders were a little steep and sharp in the twilight of the remnant sun, and said in a respectful and somewhat worried tone, "Boss, the locator on Xiao Haixi's body lost signal at noon today, you say... Could it be that someone from the Adjudication Division found her, and..."

"Heisi is a smart girl who is very good at using her strengths, and the people in the adjudication department think very highly of themselves... Don't worry, it won't be what you think. ”

Hoover. Corleone smiled and continued, "As for the locator losing signal... I expected this to be the place they were going to, and it was still too difficult to get a signal. ”

Captain Buck, who was like a big bear, immediately grunted when he heard this, "Won't you? Although Wano Country is a small country in the East China Sea, I think their mobile signal network penetration rate is still quite high, how can there be places without signal? ”

Hoover. Corleone smiled noncommittally.

"There's going to be somewhere."

"Where?"

Rosetti, the captain of the first detachment, asked.

"For example... Hell. ”

Hoover. Corleone chuckled.

Hearing his words, Rossetti and Buck couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

At this moment, the man who kept his distance from the three of the four and wore a brown peaked cap with a certain lowered brim suddenly spoke, "It sounds... You seem to feel like your men are dead. ”

If Higashinohara were here, I'm afraid he would recognize this man in a brown cap as Ryunosuke Kamiya, a three-sword swordsman of the "Sakamoto no Dragon Pirates" in the East China Sea who was rescued from the execution ground of Rising Sun Island last year, but for some reason, he was mixed up with the "Corleone Pirates" from the West Sea.

Hearing the words of Ryunosuke Kamiya, Hoover. Corleone just chuckled and shook his head, without explaining much, but looked at the three-sword-stream swordsman of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates in front of him with interest and said, "Three-sword-flow... In my impression, apart from the man who was called the 'Sword Emperor' in the Adjudication Division, there was no one who could cultivate such a sword type that focused on the skill of the Dao. ”

"I heard that the condition of your tour guide during our time in Wano Country this time is to take you to meet the 'Sword Emperor', I don't know your past, but now, do you really have the confidence to face that man?"

"Faith is that kind of thing... Of course I didn't. ”

Ryunosuke Kamiya shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said in a sudden tone, "But I have the courage, I just want to know the gap between us this time, so that I can have a clearer goal on the path of cultivation." ”

Unexpectedly, Rossetti suddenly interjected and said, "The goal is set too far away, and it is easy to despair." ”

Ryunosuke Kamiya shook his head again and said indifferently, "I'm sorry! Despair and faith, I don't have either, I just believe that one day I will get back what belongs to me. ”

"Interesting guy, have you considered coming over to my pirates?" Hoover. Corleone asked with a sudden smile.

Ryunosuke Kamiya said with a slight surprise, "Will the famous hero of the West Sea also take the initiative to invite others?" Unfortunately, I've already had a 'drink' with a certain man, and I won't get off that ship until I die." ”

"That's a shame."

Hoover. Corleone said unconcernedly.

Rossetti couldn't help but look at Ryunosuke Kamiya angrily, who "didn't know how to lift", the West Sea didn't know how many pirates were eager to board this man's ship, and even proud of getting a comment from this man, this East China Sea pirate must not know what kind of opportunity he missed...

At this time, Hoover. Corleone suddenly withdrew his gaze from the building, shook his head slightly, and said, "Alright, let's go back." ”

This is going back?

The three of them were a little surprised when they saw this.

However, this man who broke out of the door of the Nine Heavens and Men family spoke and acted with a free and tidy style of the heir of the big family, and he turned around and left.

After only a few steps, he paused, and then spoke again, "One more thing, in seven days, we are going to the Sky Tree again. ”

"What are you doing in the Sky Tree?"

"Pick up people."

Vice Captain Buck scratched his head, a little unresponsive.

But Rossetti looked at the back of the man in front of him walking in the bloody twilight, but his face showed a thoughtful expression, and his eyes became a little sharp.

According to the original plan, they did not need to take advantage of this social recruitment opportunity to enter the ruling to make the internal execution of Hoover. Corleone personally delivered the secret mission of Hela.

Once the mission is completed, she will join them.

But Hoover. Now that Corleone has said this, it means that when Jihela's operation is about to complete its mission, there are most likely to be some variables - are those guys from the Adjudication Division still ready to kill people?

Rossetti took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous glow.

She wasn't worried that Hela would become an outcast, let alone the Adjudication Division, even if it was the World Government, the man who walked in front of them would not give up any of the family members on the ship.

That's right, it may be different from other pirates, the Corleone Pirates in the West Sea are family-run, and as long as you can get recognized on the Corleone Pirates' ship, you are a member of the Corleone family.

The first admonition of the family,

That is, you can never betray and abandon your family.

At this time, what Rossetti, the captain of the first detachment of the Corleone Pirates, really cares about is the secret mission that Hela is carrying out this time, and what kind of "hell" she is in now.

Although she didn't ask too many questions, she couldn't help but have a strong curiosity in her heart.

......

Coincidentally.

At this moment, the moment she realized that she had crossed the gate of the so-called [Border] and was still alive, a woman with light blue half-long hair named Hela stood on this bleak and empty street, feeling the desolate smell of withering and decay in the air at the tip of her nose.

Hela stared blankly at the surrounding high-rise buildings that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years and the black fields under the ruins of the broken bridge, and couldn't help but have the same doubts in her heart.

Where are we?

This question was not only raised in her heart.

The other people who had crossed the [Border] Gate from a height of more than three hundred meters were looking at everything around them at this time, and their hearts were filled with the same doubts and shocks!

At this moment, Hela suddenly noticed that the young man who was coming behind her was staring at a yellowed newspaper blown by the wind at her feet.

Hela couldn't help but follow Higashinohara's line of sight and glanced at the newspaper.

She had an outstanding talent for language at an early age, and she was proficient in many Chinese, but she found that she did not know the complex and obscure fonts of newspapers at all.

Is this the text of "hell"?

Hela thought to herself, her gaze moving up slightly, a little curious why the teenager behind her was staring at the newspaper at her feet.

However, at this time, the turbulent shock that surged in Higashinohara's heart had quietly calmed down, and even his face quickly returned to "normal" - well, it meant that it was just the same "surprise" as other ordinary people.

At that moment, there was a sizzling sound of electricity coming from the radio communication headset they were carrying as they traveled through space, followed by a mechanized synthesized sound.

"Squad voice attempts..."

"Access successful."

Immediately afterward, everyone's headphones came from the head of the investigation team. Myne's voice.

"We are now in the unknown territory, and now we are based on our current location, and we will immediately start the first investigation mission, and I will only say the details of the mission."

"First, a team of two people will explore the stronghold for half an hour, to eliminate possible dangers nearby, and don't forget that the door of the [Border] behind us will not open again for seven days, which is important for us to live until that day."

"Second, if you encounter any unexpected situation during exploration, you will immediately report it in the team's voice."

"Third, keep the survey recorder on at all times, and when it converges in half an hour, I'll check everyone's survey recorder."

“......”

"Now, let's start the investigation immediately."

The team's voice shows that the leader of the investigation team, Gray. Myne's slightly cold voice fell, pulling everyone back from the shock of their first glimpse of a new world, reminding them of the purpose of crossing the border gate and their own identity.

Employers... To put it bluntly, it is a worker, and the worker does not need to be shocked when he encounters anything.

In Gray. Under Mayne's instructions, everyone immediately divided into groups and began to explore around this completely strange and strange abandoned city with a strong vigilance.

Of course, "strange" and "exploratory" don't apply to everyone.

For Higashino, who moved to Jianghai with his parents since he was a teenager in his previous life, even if thousands of years have passed since the scene in front of him.

But when he walked on the streets of this bleak city,

Rather than exploring,

It's better to revisit the old place.

Although many shops on both sides of the street have changed their names in the past, the landmarks and unique geographical features that continue to appear in front of him follow in the footsteps of Higashinohara, awakening and piecing together the memories of the city in his mind little by little.

At the same time, this also made Higashinohara more and more sure that it was the city where he had lived for more than ten years in his previous life.

It's just that the city in front of him is like an old and rusty steel giant, half of his body is tilted into the desert of time, and Higashinohara can only restore the appearance of this city in his mind in his previous life through those parts exposed outside the quicksand of time.

Some places can be matched.

In some places, it doesn't match at all.

But as Higashinohara gradually calmed down from the shock of the turbulent waves at the first sight of this familiar city, countless questions surged in his heart.

Why?

Why was the world he lived in now able to step through the so-called [Border] gate into the world he had lived in thousands of years later?

Why is this happening?

What is the "extraterrestrial tide" mentioned in the newspapers?

If that's a catastrophe.

The people of this world...

Did they all perish in that catastrophe?

It means that thousands of years after the end of this world, he crossed the door of the so-called [Border] in an unbelievable way, and re-entered the world where he once lived and now has become as empty and dead as hell.

Wait a minute!

Higashinohara suddenly realized something.

Alien Demons!

Judging from the information he had in that world, the alien demon should have come to the world where he now lives normally through the [Border] Gate.

Perhaps that's why the celestial people of the Adjudication Division would call this place "Hell".

But he knew it wasn't hell at all.

And judging from the attitude of the adjudication department, it is obvious that they still have some intelligence information that they don't understand, but where do they come from this world intelligence?

Higashinohara had read the history of Wano Country and knew that the world he was living in now was a world where the celestial beings came from outside the sky thousands of years ago and suddenly appeared in that world.

That's why they are called "celestials".

If Higashinohara didn't know what the so-called "Hell" was, and the Celestials were so familiar with it, then he might have guessed that the Celestials might have come from the "Hell" behind the Gate of the [Boundary], otherwise they wouldn't have known so much about it.

However, the truth is that Higashinohara knows the truth behind the so-called "hell", and he probably knows everything here better than all the celestials.

Moreover, Higashinohara had lived in this world for so many years in his previous life, and it was clear that he had never seen or heard of such a species as a celestial, so the celestial beings were definitely not from the so-called "hell" world.

Does this mean... Are there other worlds? The world where the celestials live has also undergone some kind of "catastrophe" similar to this one.

Later, they invaded the world where Higashinohara lived in this life, and a war broke out with the local humans to finally establish a world government...

Then the problem is back to square one.

The catastrophe...

The tidal wave in the newspaper...

And the demons in the mouth of the judge...

What's going on with all this?

.....
