Chapter 367: Jiaopen Nation Destroyed, Zone No. 2 People?
Demon Slayer World, Jiaopenji Nation.
Ten days had passed since the Army marched out of Aokigahara and Cipher Pol attacked institutions and Department such as the Parliament, Military Department, and Metropolitan Police Department.
During this Time, the entire Country was thrown into chaos, as if Gunfire could be heard in every Prefecture and City.
But just when many Jiaopenji people thought the war would last for a long Time, everything seemed to calm down around the sixth day.
Only a few sporadic Gunshots remained, proving that something major had indeed happened.
On this day.
Large numbers of Army Soldier wearing Black Military Uniform and holding equally black Automatic Rifle walked through the Street and alleys of major City like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe, and Nara. The Commotion of their Combat Boots stepping on the Ground was so earth-shattering.
They knocked on the Door of house after house, bringing the Panic-stricken Resident inside to the Plaza or sufficiently wide Street in each City, like driving chickens and ducks.
The entire process took a full six hours, which wasn't long, mainly because the Resident were quite cooperative.
Although occasionally someone would imagine something and either kneel down and kowtow frantically or hug their children and wail for mercy.
To be honest, this scene actually puzzled many Army Soldier. Wasn't it just asking them to gather outside? Why were they so afraid?
But they didn't ask further, because Vice Admiral Crocodile had already issued an Order strictly prohibiting Soldier from engaging in Communication with any Otherworlder without authorization. So, they could only urge them forward with expressionless Expression.
For example, by kicking them or hitting them with a rifle butt. As long as these Jiaopenji people moved forward, it was fine.
And most of the Jiaopenji people, facing these fully armed 'Giant Divine Warrior' who were nearly 1.8 meters tall, just numbly walked onto the Street to become small black dots in the 'Black Tide'.
There was nothing they could do. In this Era, the average Height of the Jiaopenji people was only 1.6 meters, and people who were 1.5 meters tall were also very common.
Only Europeans and Americans could reach a Height of 1.7 meters or more.
"Vice Admiral, Various Places are Ready. We Plan to start the Live Broadcast in fifteen minutes."
At some point, Crocodile had personally arrived at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. He was currently standing in the Main Hall of the Meiji Imperial Palace, listening to Mima Amatori's Report.
"Alright, let's do that."
Crocodile, biting on a Cigar, nodded casually, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the Emperor sitting on the Throne, completely ignoring the Empress who was trembling beside him.
"You'd better not have any problems, otherwise you won't need to go to Impel Down. I'll find a place in this World to bury you."
"Hehehe, please rest assured, Lord Vice Admiral. I can recite this script backward!"
Upon hearing Crocodile's Warning, the 'Emperor' quickly put on a respectful Smile, his Attitude appearing very humble.
At the same Time.
Outside the Imperial Palace, the major Main Road of Tokyo City were now packed with people. Two or three Army Soldier stood on the Rooftop of every small building, scanning the area below.
There weren't actually that many people, but the Jiaopenji people below didn't dare to show the slightest resistance.
Because they already knew that all the Class A Divisions, Class B Division, and Police Force had been completely Annihilated. Only a few small Troops who managed to escape were hiding in the Deep Mountains and Old Forests, playing at guerrilla warfare.
"Wow----"
Suddenly, a series of Exclamation and gasps of breath rose from the front of the crowd and spread rapidly in all directions.
This scene was also happening in City in Various Places.
"What is that?"
"A Miracle... a Miracle..."
"Oh my god, that person up there seems to be His Majesty the Emperor and Her Highness the Empress!"
"What do you mean 'seems'? That is them! As a Tokyo resident, how could you not remember the faces of the two Lord?"
Because the entire Imperial Family would meet the Citizen at Chowa-den Hall every New Year, the appearances of the Emperor and Empress were not actually mysterious.
But what shocked these people wasn't this, but the giant screens floating overhead!
It turned out.
The Army Soldier had activated Visual Den Den Mushi around the Imperial Palace, in the Center of major City, and on every Main Road, and adjusted the projected Screen Feed Size to the maximum.
Each one was a standard 300-square-meter Large Screen, and crucially, they were high-definition.
In this Era where there wasn't even a Black and White Television, it could indeed be called a Miracle, which made the Jiaopenji people believe even more that those Army Soldier came from the Divine Realm!
At this moment.
On the Large Screen, the 123rd Emperor of the Jiaopenji Nation, Emperor Taisho, rose from his Throne and slowly addressed all the Jiaopenji people across the country.
"I have been on the Throne for two years. We, the Imperial Family, are descendants of Amaterasu Omikami. However, over thousands of years, we have long since devolved from divine children into ordinary people. Takamagahara also abandoned this World and left many years ago. Fortunately, the World Government of Blue Star has descended upon our Country..."
A long passage of the Imperial Edict's Content was transmitted to every corner of the Jiaopenji Nation through countless Visual Den Den Mushi.
All the Jiaopenji people stood stunned on the spot, watching and listening dumbfounded, as if their Soul and Spirit had been subjected to some kind of invisible Impact.
"What? Takamagahara doesn't want us anymore?"
"No, that's not right. The crucial point doesn't seem to be that. The crucial point is, does Takamagahara really exist?"
"Also."
"The World Government of Blue Star... So these pitch-black Warrior with ridiculously tall Body Size are actually people from Another World, ah no, Divine Person?"
Compared to these Citizen of Foot Basin Chicken (Derogatory Term), the Minister in the Legation of various countries had a look of sudden enlightenment.
"So this is a religious force, no wonder they claimed to wage war on the Whole World. This makes sense now, preparing for another modern-day 'Crusades', right?"
"It must be the advanced Rapid-fire Firearms that gave these fanatics enough confidence, making them think they could be invincible in the World with them."
"As for their tall Body Size, it's most likely some kind of Evil Medicine. The Side Effect probably aren't minor."
On the other side, the Emperor's speech was also nearing its end.
"I hereby solemnly announce my abdication as Emperor, the dissolution of the Imperial Family, and the destruction of the Jiaopen Nation. All its right to rule is handed over to the World Government, to witness the peace and prosperity of the World together with everyone, and jointly enjoy the happiness of divine grace. I have great hopes for this!"
After speaking, the Emperor was seen Bowing three times towards everyone, and then left the Civilian Screen Feed with the Empress.
"No!!"
"His Majesty the Emperor!!"
In an instant, piercing Scream rang out from the dense crowd. Large numbers of middle-aged and Elderly Person knelt on the Ground, wailing, sobbing uncontrollably.
And the younger men and women looked at each other, at a loss.
"So, they were no longer people of the Jiaopen Nation?"
The Minister of various countries were also troubled. What should they call this Country from now on? The World Government? What a joke, who would recognize that!
Just then, another person walked out on the Large Screen.
As soon as this person appeared, the noise in Various Places gradually quieted down. This person was wearing a yellow Suit and a Black Coat draped over his shoulders.
He had slicked-back hair, narrow eyes, and a thick Cigar bitten in his wide grin.
The crucial thing was his Height, definitely over two meters, estimated to be nearly three meters!
"I am Sir Crocodile, and also a Vice Admiral of the World Government Army Headquarters, as well as the highest-ranking Commanding Officer responsible for the Army in this World."
"I hereby announce that the former Jiaopenji Nation is renamed 'World Government Directly Subordinate Special Zone No. 0002, Demon Slayer World'."
"If you think that's too long, you can call yourselves 'Zone No. 2 people' or 'Demon Slayer World people' from now on. Ha—ha—ha—ha—"
Immediately, his classic drawn-out mad laughter, like an invisible Tsunami, swept across the major City.
Thank you very much to Helmsman who gave me a Tip of 1500 Qidian Coin! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
