When Admiral activated this skill the entire Azur Lane Island was burst, we an aura that made all shipgirls, their personnels, the manjuus, and the other worlds people affected with the Monarch's Aura (Fear and Confusion in Foes) and General's Aura (Fear-Inducing Presence).

With the Monarch's Aura may experience temporary fear or confusion, affecting their combat efficiency. Their movements might become sluggish, their attacks less precise, or their spellcasting disrupted, as they struggle to resist the aura's mesmerizing effect.

And the General's Aura, has similarity of the Monarch's Aura, the General's Aura may instill fear in enemy combatants, causing them to falter or hesitate momentarily. Because of this skill was activated in a wide area affect, those shipgirls who are currently resting was disturbed and was unable to move, because of the aura skills activating and those who were doing tasks in the Azur Lane was halted immediately.

Those young shipgirls was not affected, because Admiral Accel took measure of his skills to not let those young one's experience there first trauma about this kind of skills. Obviously, because of the Aura Skills all Leaders from the 9 Nations was alerted and the power they felt was coming towards the Command Center where the captain is currently conversing with the newly other world people who came to aid them. And made some shipgirls panic, that the captain will be in danger and immediately took action.

All Leaders of the 9 Nations of Azur Lane immediately commanded all Shipgirls to guard all facilities and prevent anyone going near the Command Center, after they commanded the shipgirls they immediately rushed towards the Command Center.

Enterprise: What is going on, my body feels heavy and shaking because of fear.

Queen Elizabeth: It has to do with those 4 people.

Nagato: We will immediately talk them out, why did they do this.

Bismarck: I have a gist of this situation (Whispering)

Light Cruiser Yat Sen-Class Yat Sen: Huh? Is something wrong, Bismarck?

Bismarck: Nothing, this will be amusing...

Light Cruiser Yat Sen: Huh???

Battleship Sovetsky Soyuz-Class Sovetskaya Rossiya: This kind of feeling, feels like a nightmare that the Sirens keeps on attacking and hunting us. With this unknown feeling brings all morale and courage not in a god state.

Battleship Richelieu-Class Richelieu: I agree with you, it seems you guys brought dangerous people here.

Enterprise: They are not dangerous, is just that they have so many secrets knowing this world, despite arriving here few days ago.

Queen Elizabeth: Though they are like that, they don't have intention on hurting anyone.

Nagato: I agree, let's first head to the Command Center, we will know the truth what happen.

Battleship Richelieu-Class Jean Bart: Look there is someone near the captain's door.

Bismarck: That is one of the representatives meeting the captain.

Battleship Jean Bart: It feels like she is guarding the door, not letting anyone go near it.

Bismarck: She is Admiral Ahyesha 1st Division Aircraft Carrier Diwata-Class Celestial Skyfortress, based on the information of the MagiTech Watch we acquire from them.

Battleship Vittorio Veneto-Class Littorio: Is there any information about her?

Enterprise: According to the MagiTech Watch, her combat abilities are very superior that even adult dragons are no match for her. That is the only information they give us.

After reaching the Commander Center, there they saw one of the representatives of the other world people who are meeting the Head of the Command Center, Captain Hiroshi Yamamoto. Because they are inside of the Commander Center the feeling, they got are much stronger that Queen Elizabth, Yat Sen, and Nagato fell down, because of the heaviness they felt.

Queen Elizabeth: You dare!!! Peasant!!! Move out in the Entrance immediately!!!

Admiral Ahyesha: No can do, your majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Enterprise: Why? Can't you let us enter, Ms. Ahyesha.

Admiral Ahyesha: I was ordered from Admiral Accel to not let anyone enter.

Nagato: Admiral Accel? Why?

Admiral Ahyesha: I do not know, but it has something to do with the Head of Command of the 4 Fleets, Fleet Admiral Welt. He was just following orders.

Bismarck: Hmm, I understand. So, if he was not given that command, he will not do this?

Admiral Ahyesha: Maybe yes or maybe no, I am not sure also. I do not know what Admiral Accel thinks from his head. He does do want he wants.

After few seconds, Queen Elizabeth, Yat Sen, and Nagato fainted, because their body can't take anymore the heaviness feeling they had and fell down.

Battleship Sovetskaya Rossiya: So, if we forcefully charge to the entrance, you will stop us from happening, right?

Admiral Ahyesha: Yes, Ms. Sovetskaya Rossiya. Don't worry, Admiral Accel will not hurt the captain and just wait for a few minutes, and it will end. But, if you want the reason why he did this, ask the Fleet Admiral Welt, not Admiral Accel.

Enterprise: Fine, I understand.

Bismarck: I have no reason to deny that.

Battleship Richelieu: Are you sure, you can trust her?

Bismarck: After yesterday of spending time with them, they don't have intentions on hurting anyone and they made a promise, if they destroy the promise, they will have a special punishment that will befall them.

Battleship Littorio: I trust your judgement then, Bismarck.

(Few minutes)

After the agreement to all Leaders not to interfere that is something happening at the Captain's Room. They waited, after of waiting of few minutes the heaviness they felt, and the fear of their body has immediately stopped and dispersed like nothing happened. Then the rest of the Leaders except Littorio taking care of the fainted Leaders Queen Elizabeth, Yat Sen, and Nagato, when to the room...

Enterprise: Captain Hiroshi, are you alright?

Captain Hiroshi: Yes, I am alright.

Enterprise: Good. Sir Accel, may I know why you did this, will you answer my question, or I will ask directly to Fleet Admiral Welt.

Admiral Accel: So, Admiral Ahyesha told you that Fleet Admiral commanded me to do this, well it is not like that. I will explain it to you, no need to ask Fleet Admiral Welt, because he will deal the aftermath of this.

Bismarck: Okay, we are all listening...

(Queen Elizabeth, Yat Sen, Nagato, and Littorio came also)

Admiral Accel: Back on our world, people take advantage of us because of the power we got, because of that we become cautious who do we trust in letting them borrow our powers. So, I, Admiral Accel and Fleet Admiral Welt decided to test the Leader of the Azur Lane Main Base. But, after the test we deem him as a Trusted Ally.

Enterprise: Why do this method? There is other methods in doing it.

Admiral Accel: Well, that is true, but I do not know what Fleet Admiral Welt thinking is, he commanded me to use my Aura Skills. And for me I could just use my Judgement Eyes.

Queen Elizabeth: Judgement Eyes?

Admiral Accel: It allows me to discern the true nature of individuals, detecting whether they are good or bad at their core. This ability enables the possessor to perceive the essence of a person's character and intentions beyond any façade they may present to the world.

Nagato: Thank you for explanation, but since you already joined a nation, your Superior Bismarck will punish for your action.

Admiral Accel: I know, but instead of punishing, I would like to use the vow called "Soulbound Sentinel".

Admiral Blessed: Are you really sure using that vow, the consequences of that vow when it is broken will make your life miserable.

Admiral Accel: I am fine with it. Ms. Bismarck, will you accept my Guardian's Vow. As an apology for my actions.

Bismarck: Are you sure, from the reactions of your comrades, it seems this vow is very important.

Admiral Accel: I made up my mind, in accepting it.

Bismarck: If that is your wish then, I accept the Soulbound Sentinel.

After that Admiral Accel kneels down and put out his sword to recite the vow...

Admiral Accel: "Battleship Bismarck, Leader of Iron Blood, as the Soulbound Sentinel, I pledge my loyalty. With the strength of our united spirits, I'll protect you, aid you, and stand by your side. Your people shall be my purpose, their safety my foremost duty, until the end of days in this world. Together, we'll face the dangerous threat of the Sirens that seek to harm humanity, and I'll fight to help restore peace and safeguard our land. Our bond shall be unyielding, guiding us towards honor and justice. My soul is eternally yours, and my vow shall endure forever."

Because of that vow, Bismarck back appeared with Divine Chains and connected every part of Admiral Accel's body and his sword, meaning to say the vow is almost finished.

Bismarck: I accept your Guardian's Vow.

Because of the acceptance of the Vow, it ended without failed, because of that something has appeared before her, but that is for the next time. And because the vow has finished, Admiral Accel naval uniform has transformed into the same uniform of Iron Blood that made everyone shocked.

Bismarck: Does it usually do that?

Admiral Accel: Yes, Ms. Bismarck? The Chief of the Magical Tailoring Department from Seraphim Fleet made this all officers, enlisted ranks, and our personnels. So, when we join your nations, we check your naval uniforms and able to transform them with a specific instruction you can make.

Captain Hiroshi: Interesting. But let's talk again tomorrow and we will assign a shipgirls and personnels to guide and tour our base.

Admiral Accel: Okay and Thank you.

After that everyone went back to their respective dorms and for the representatives went back to the fleet to rest for today's event.

(Note: 8 Leaders of the Nations of Azur Lane Favorability towards Accel increase by 5 (50 -> 55))
