Rules rule the field.

Order rules governs.

For any eighth-order demigod-level ability, they were already standing at the top of the pyramid built by hundreds of millions of capable people in this world, and they were the existence that countless ordinary capable people looked up to.

However, only those who have stepped into the eighth order know how they yearn for the scenery of the mountain top when they are standing on the cloudy mountainside in the eighth order, especially those who are stuck at the peak of the eighth order and are old but unable to advance an inch, and they are extremely eager to break through that layer of film.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Just longing for longing.

Many things in this world are not transformed by human will.

From "Eighth-Order Demigod Level" to "Ninth Order God Level", the difference between the words makes people who don't know how many abilities there are, even if their strength has reached the peak of the Eighth Order, they are still stuck under this threshold, turning into a dry bone that no one knows.

However, today, in the dark deep sea surrounded by the tide like a mirage, this man has entered a new stage from the eighth order like a [seed] buried deep in the soil.

In an instant, the terrifying power set off waves in his body like a surging river and sea.

Kimura Hakuto used the [Seed], which he finally succeeded once after failing in experiments again and again, with the help of the cultivation of the Extraterrestrial Tide, which is the so-called "River Styx" in these people's mouths, to push his ability level from the eighth order to the ninth order step by step.

But at this moment, Kimura Baituo looked frowning slightly, as if he still had some doubts, and then quickly stretched out.

"I see."

Kimura knew where the sense of vacancy in his heart came from.

That is the [Order], and he has not yet used the [Rules] to establish his own Ninth-Order [Order].

"Ninth Order power, is this what you're for?"

But at this moment, the black sea behind Kimura Baituo suddenly shook, and a voice that sounded a little disappointed came.

Kimura Shiraku's body was slightly stunned, and then a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly turned around.

Not surprisingly, the figure of a tall man with a majestic face and short chestnut hair grew.

"Long time no see... Tokugawa team leader. ”

Kimura Shirata stared at each other with a gentle smile on his face, and it didn't seem that he was too surprised by the "resurrection" of the Tokugawa Chesturi Tiger.

"Long time no see."

Tokugawa Kurita stared at the man standing in front of him, the white light on his chest and heart gradually disappeared, and it was clear that the other party was standing in front of him, but there was an inexplicable sense of estrangement.

An inexplicable sadness suddenly swelled up in Tokugawa Kurita's heart, once upon a time, the thirteen captains of the thirteenth team of the third reconnaissance team of Wano Country that he personally created were his pride.

It's just that now, a pathetic thick barrier has appeared between him and the man in front of him who once made him proud.

"Can I trust you anymore? Captain Kimura? Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger suddenly spoke, his majestic tiger eyes staring at Captain Kimura, but the picture from more than ten years ago came to mind.

I still remember that at that time, Kimura Hakutaku, the heir of the Kimura family of the Wano country chaebol, entered the third investigation team with a look on his face, which caused a lot of controversy in the group.

Most of the people in the group felt that this was a sign that the shameless chaebol families who were accustomed to monopolies saw the rise of the Third Investigation Team as an agency alongside the Metropolitan Police Department and wanted to intervene in the infiltration of power, so most of them were opposed to Kimura Hakutaku's interview, but in the end, it was Tokugawa Kurita who founded the Third Investigation Group on his own.

Under the criticism of many people back then, Tokugawa Kurita only asked Kimura Shirata one question during the interview, that is, "Can I trust you?" ”

At that moment.

Just like that.

Hearing this, Kimura Hakutaku also showed a slight look of reminiscence on his face, and then his eyes turned to Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger again, and nodded and smiled as he did back then:

"Of course you can."

Hearing Kimura Hakutaku's answer, Tokugawa Kurita glanced at him with a complicated face, shook his head, and said in a gradually cold tone:

"But everyone thought that during the period after my death, what you did made me feel strange, and I began to wonder if you were worthy of my trust in you in the first place."

"Did Captain Miyano tell you?" Kimura said with a smile.

Tokugawa Kuritaka's brows couldn't help frowning, and his eyes looked at the smile on Kimura Hakutaku's face a little sharply, and his face gradually became a little serious.

The captain of the sixth team, Miyano Juro, was indeed the only person in the third reconnaissance team who kept in touch with Tokugawa Kuritoro during the period when Tokugawa Kurita was recuperating in the South China Sea.

Coincidentally, when the news of the "death" of Tokugawa Kuritaka was reported that Miyano Juro was also there, Kimura Hakutaku "colluded" with former Foreign Minister Taku Amuro to replace the captain of the first team, Tsukada Masa, as the acting leader of the third investigation team, and was the first to choose to be close to Kimura Hakutaku.

At that time, this was once pointed at and disdained behind the scenes.

Now it seems that there is something else hidden.

Tokugawa Kurita stared at Kimura Hakutaku, "When did you first find out?" ”

"Actually, I knew it from the beginning."

Kimura Hakutaku replied with a smile, "Captain Miyano has been following you all these years, and although he has a rebellious personality, he respects you the most, and I don't think there is anything in me that deserves him to betray you and follow me." ”

Hearing Kimura Shirata's answer, Tokugawa Kurita couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at Kimura Shirata, feeling the uncontrollable and terrifying ability fluctuations surrounding the other party, and returned to the previous topic, and said with a somewhat complicated face, "So... Is all that you're doing for the sake of this moment? ”

"Now?"

Kimura Shirataka shook his head and said with a smile, "No, no, no, what I have is just a necessary condition for the arrival of a new great era. ”

"Great times?" Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger frowned.

"Tokugawa leader, what do you think... Our life now... Isn't it too lifeless? ”

Kimura Baituo chuckled and said, "Everyone lives in the assigned position like a screw, and when it breaks, a new screw is immediately replaced, and no one cares where the broken screw goes, and the daily work cannot even be exchanged for the most basic dignity in front of the heavens, but the people have long been numb to this kind of life, and even domesticated to the point of being willing." ”

Tokugawa Kurita's gaze forced on Kimura Shirata, "So... Do you want to upend the lives of all people, whether they want it or not? ”

Kimura Hakutaku replied calmly, "Personal wishes?" The people who are fooled are always afraid of the changes of the times, whether it is good or bad, few people can make the right choice, but any better era always has to be the first to stand up, whether it is glory or infamy... Somebody has to take on it, doesn't it? ”

Tokugawa Kurita looked at the calmly smiling Kimura Shirataku, his gaze becoming more and more complicated, "You mean, you want to take on all this and change this era by relying on the power you have in this hellish world?" ”

"No, no, no."

Kimura Baituo shook his head again, "The change of the times is never a person's choice, but everyone's choice, and I alone can't bring any vibrant changes to this lifeless era." ”

Tokugawa Kurita said noncommittally, "But you should understand that most people are ordinary people, they have no right to choose, and in this life, they just want to live their lives within their own ability, get married and have children, then it is already very satisfying for them." ”

"Don't you have the right to choose?"

Kimura Baituo lowered his head and muttered to himself, and when he raised his head, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, this time, I will give them the right to choose again." ”

As he spoke, Kimura Shirato took out a yellow-orange-orange orange orange out of nowhere, and the surface of the orange and the heart of his chest were generally fluorescent in the pitch-black tide.

"Is this the fruit of your research and development?"

Tokugawa Kurita apparently gathered information on this from Juro Miyano.

"That's right." Kimura Baituo nodded, "With such a fruit, I have obtained enough reserves during this time, which is completely enough to provide a copy for everyone in Wano Country." ”

"As far as I know, the success rate of awakening the ability to awaken after eating such a fruit is extremely low, and I am afraid that only one person in a thousand people can survive, so you plan to distribute such dangerous and defective products to the people of Wano Country?" Tokugawa Kuritaka's tone unconsciously became stern at the end.

Faced with Tokugawa Kurita's questioning, Kimura Shirataka suddenly opened his mouth and asked Tokugawa Kuritaka, "Tokugawa Team Leader, do you know how many people there are in Wano Country?" ”

Tokugawa Kurita faced this sudden question, glanced at Kimura Shirakuta, and replied with a frown:

"As of the census in March last year, there are about 200 million people in Wano Country......

Kimura Hakutaku interrupted him again, "But if you want to set off a magnificent change and completely change this era, everyone will live like a dragon with dignity from now on, and this country only needs 200,000 people." ”

A gentle smile slowly appeared on Kimura Hakuta's face, "The success rate of one in a thousand is actually enough, isn't it?" ”

Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he came back to his senses all of a sudden, his thick black brows suddenly stood up, and he asked in a low voice with anger:

"Exterminate all the old, weak, sick and ordinary people... The country only needs 200,000 people to survive... Is that what it means? So who decides who lives and who dies of them? You? ”

"Themselves, of course."

Kimura Baituo said in a calm tone, "Actually, if I am given some more time, I can continue the ability fruit purification experiment, theoretically there is a chance to improve the success rate to a certain extent, and then more people can join us in this magnificent era change." ”

"But it's a pity... The June World Conference is fast approaching, and the time left for the world government to us, for Wano Country...

So I need to give all the people a chance to choose their destiny again before that. ”

"It's really... Lose your marbles. ”

Tokugawa Kurita shook his head, stared at the familiar and unfamiliar gentle face in front of him, and said with a cold face, "But I think that in any warm and harmonious family in Wano Country, when you put the fruit of your ability in front of them and let him and his family choose life and death randomly, most sane people will reject your 'kindness'. ”

Kimura Hakutaku nodded, agreeing with Tokugawa Kurita's point of view, and said with a chuckle, "So those who dare to pay the price to gain the ability to meet change are more worthy of respect than those who live in empty happiness all day long, paralyzing themselves and praying for alms." ”

"Even if it is death, I believe that at the last moment of life they will realize that this is the value of life, because this is the only moment in their life when they are truly in control of their own destiny."

"As for those who don't realize it." Kimura Hakuto said with a smile, "After the first independent choice in the form of an ability fruit, next, I will use another more direct way to help them step beyond the cliff to the high heavens." ”

"Even if the family is ruined?"

At this time, Tokugawa Kurita looked directly at Kimura Shirataku, and his tone became calm.

"A broken family? It's a morally guilty word..."The smile on Kimura Hakutaku's face gradually retracted, and he calmly looked at Tokugawa Chesturito.

"But Tokugawa Team Leader, you should know that Wano Country is now on the verge of collapse and destruction.

As a citizen of Wano Country, if you don't even have the courage to choose your own destiny again and pay the price you deserve... The family is ruined, but it is only a matter of time before it is over, and such a person is not worthy of sympathy. ”

"Is that so?" Tokugawa Chestnuta finally knew where that strangeness came from.

When Kimura Hakutaku in front of him said these words, he completely devoid of the emotions that humans should have.

He is like a "creator" who looks down on everyone, indifferently watching the life and death of everyone.

"If I say... What about my opposition to your plan? "The Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger gradually exuded an astonishing momentum, and the power of the eighth-order rules he controlled seemed to be even more condensed than yesterday.

"You still don't get it?"

Kimura Shirataka still stood there calmly, and the appearance of the Tokugawa chestnut tiger was reflected in the child's hole, "Any change will not change because of our will, but because after people are oppressed into the abyss, they have found the power from the hell of the abyss that is enough to roar the world of filial piety, and this force will definitely push them to set off a change that tears the world apart." ”

"Don't you want to take a look at the ridiculous appearance of the vultures in Shangjing who have been attached to the rotting bones of humans for thousands of years, flapping their wings desperately in fear and panic?"

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to that day."

Tokugawa Kurita said in a calm tone, "But I would prefer that the future of all the people of Wano Country be decided by themselves, and that there is no need for any dirty conspiracy behind this." ”

"You're still the same."

Kimura Hakuto let out a sigh and a gentle smile appeared on his face again, "But I won't do anything with you today. ”

"You can't solve the problem without doing anything." Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger raised his eyebrows.

"That's true, but I think it's better to solve the problem at hand first."

Kimura Hakutaku looked past Tokugawa Kurita to look behind him, and suddenly said pointedly:

"Hmm... He's coming. ”

As soon as the words fell, Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger suddenly felt his heart tighten, only to feel that the mirage-like tide behind him rushed like a tsunami under the sea and surged with a majestic power.

"A bunch of lowly bastards!

Get the hell out of here! ”

The sound of rolling thunder rumbled in his ears, and although the Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger benefited a lot from the tide, it was still a shock in front of this terrifying sound!

Kimura Hakuto smiled and said softly, "I still have some things to deal with in this world, so I'll leave it to you, the Tokugawa team leader, here, I hope we can see each other again when the [Boundary Gate] reopens in four days." ”

Some ethereal words fell,

I saw that Kimura Shirakuta's figure with a gentle smile on his face shook slightly like the moon reflected in the water.

By the time the undulating ripples had subsided, his figure had disappeared in place...

......
