# Chapter 417: The Mysterious Man in Black and the Pure Gold Clue!

From the common people at the bottom of various Countries to the Nobility, Kings, and then to the various Departments of the World Government and the major Military, the Sea Star World became increasingly lively.

The Citizens enthusiastically discussed the Kabaneri World from the Otherworld, the Man-Eating Demon from the Otherworld, and various other things from the Otherworld. These limited pieces of information all came from the 'Promotional Video' released earlier.

Given these objectively existing circumstances, the Propaganda Department decided to continue the Emission of videos.

Their goal was to quickly Familiarize people with the existence of the Otherworld. Once most people got used to it, the public opinion Situation would Stability.

Right now, everyone was just in the novelty period.

Just in Time.

Tesoro and Stella, who had mysteriously disappeared a few days ago, were back. This brought the Minister of the Propaganda Department exceptional delight.

Before, he had only heard that the two were favored by a certain Celestial Dragons, so he didn't dare to ask much.

But in his Heart, he had already concluded that this Star couple, a perfect match, was completely finished.

Most likely, they were captured to become Slave, right?

Although the Holy Land had released a large number of Slave before, he truly didn't think the Celestial Dragons could really do without Slave. At most, they might be a bit more restrained compared to the past.

But now they had returned completely unharmed and mentally sound. Moreover, as soon as Tesoro returned, he was appointed as the Vice Warden of the Media Agency by the higher-ups.

This was very strange.

But no matter what, this was helpful for their Propaganda work.

Stella, as a Reporter, was assigned the Mission to Interview the Otherworlder who had already settled in the World. Therefore, she would next head to Sabaody Archipelago, and then to Wano Island and Zou.

As for whether doing this would affect the lives of those people, that was none of the Propaganda Department's business!

As for Tesoro, he was Familiarize himself with the work within the Media Agency. According to the Instruction given to him by Lord Imu, his next Target was to become the Minister of the Propaganda Department.

In the Future, this Domain would all be under his management!

So he applied to the current Minister to be able to go for an Inspection together when Queen Otohime goes to the Demon Slayer World sometime later, because he was very interested in the Movie there.

As for Queen Otohime's Mission, it was, of course, to go to various Countries to brainwash... oh no, to give Speech!

Especially in the several Western Countries that had been severely ravaged before. Although the people there were very much in Fear of the terrifying Strength of the World Government, it was impossible to say that they didn't harbor resentment in their Heart.

Queen Otohime's purpose was to make them let go of these negative Thought.

At the same Time.

The entire Grand Line, including the First Half and the Second Half, also became prosperous and lively. Every Route was filled with densely packed Ship of all sizes.

Their destination was all Reverse Mountain, and then they would head to the Sea Area they had chosen!

Because the 'World Economic Journal' clearly stated that next year, which is Marine Calendar 1500, the 'Myriad Worlds Top 100 Competition' would be divided into four Preliminary Zone.

Namely, the East Blue Competition Zone, the South Blue Competition Zone, the West Blue Competition Zone, and the North Blue Competition Zone. The opening Date is June 1st.

Therefore, to participate in the Selection Trial in Time, those living on the Grand Line had to go to the Four Seas, and they had to go in advance.

Because with the various Extreme Weather and conditions on the Grand Line, there was simply no such thing as being on Time.

It was just a pity that the Newspaper didn't specify which Island the Selection Trial would be held on.

However, these Strong Experts who believed they had a certain level of Strength didn't cause any trouble during their Voyage, such as robbery, murder, or rape.

Whether they were Martial Artist or Sword Master, everyone was well-behaved.

Because the competition rules clearly stated that those with Bounty were not eligible to register to participate, so they had to ensure they were 'clean'!

On the contrary, if they encountered unruly Pirate Ship along the way, they would even help the Marines deal with them.

Some simple-minded, Hot-Blooded ones would even shout to the Marines after it was over, "'Remember, I am XXX, who is about to become one of the 'Top 100'!"

Then they would leave behind a group of speechless Marines and turn to leave...

However, their actions did indeed save the Marines a lot of trouble, which also caused the 'Top 100 Competition' to ferment within the Marines.

Some people were thinking, was it possible for them to participate?

On the other side.

Reverse Mountain was completely 'blocked'. After all, there was only one ascending channel for Reverse Mountain. Only after reaching the summit would they encounter the forks leading to the Four Seas.

Moreover, the current was so rapid. For the Safety of the Ship and Humans, they certainly couldn't be allowed to enter and exit freely.

This directly led to the Marines and Government Official at the G-0 Branch being plunged into seemingly endless busyness.

They not only had to inspect the Humans and cargo on each Ship, but also manage the queues, maintain Order, and constantly maintain communication with the Marines at the foot of Reverse Mountain on the Four Seas side.

After all, if they sent Ship up from here, the other side would definitely have to wait first. Otherwise, they could easily collide during the ascent or rapid descent, resulting in the destruction of Ship and loss of Human life...

In the end, they could only take turns.

For example, from the Grand Line side, they would send up four Seaship in sequence each Time. After they reached their destination, the Four Seas side would then send Ship that needed to enter the Grand Line in sequence.

For instance, first the East Blue, then the South Blue. But this way, each Sea Area would have to wait for a long Time before sending the next batch of Ship.

Although there were many Ship entering the Grand Line from the Four Seas, the low Efficiency still made everyone, whether Marines, Official, or the personnel on the Ship, feel their scalps tingle.

Afterward, they even decided to first prohibit Ship from the Four Seas side from entering the Grand Line.

But the Seaship at the foot of Reverse Mountain continued to gather more and more.

The Administrative Commanding Officer of the G-0 Branch had no choice but to report to the World Government Headquarters, because they truly had no solution. Dozens of Humans had already fainted from exhaustion!

Finally, the World Government sent a Mysterious Person completely covered in a black robe, with a Black Mask on their face.

As soon as this Human arrived, they activated a large-scale Devil Fruit Ability.

Immediately after.

He first requested all Ship at the foot of Reverse Mountain to be divided into four sections according to the Sea Area they were preparing to go to.

Then, the forty-three Seaship from the East Blue section floated out of the water under an invisible Strength, and then flew up along the cliff of the Red Line with him, taking less than an hour to send them to the East Blue Sea Area!

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

Devil Fruit Ability!

Some more experienced Marine Officer had even more horrified Gaze, because this Ability was too Familiarize. This seemed to be the Paramecia System's Float-Float Fruit, right?

Then this Human couldn't possibly be...

At the same Time.

Im, however, was 'monitoring' Dr. Kureha, who was far away in Drum Kingdom, through Star Fate. This Feeling was like the 'Third Hokage' watching with a Crystal Ball...

But he didn't have any perverted Thought.

Rather than watching Kureha, this one-hundred-and-seventeen-year-old old woman, it was more like watching her belly button.

Ah—

This seems even more perverted~~

It should be said that he was looking at the small gold ring on her belly button, because Shakky had always suspected in her Heart that it was 'Pure Gold'.

But it was just a suspicion.

The general idea was that when Shakky was in the Rocks Pirates, she had heard the Legend about the 'Pure Gold Angler Fish'.

Then she met Dr. Kureha. After learning her Age and Physical condition, she noticed the gold ring on her belly button, and this guess flashed through her mind at the Time.

Afterward, she felt it was too outrageous and didn't think much more about it. After all, Pure Gold was just a Legend. Moreover, Dr. Kureha indeed had Medical Skill that reached the pinnacle, but it was ultimately related to Eternal Life, so the impression was deep.

But this idea was noticed by Im and given Importance.

"There are indeed some ways to keep or restore young Humans in the World, such as Doctor Kureha's 'Goryeo Newcomer' Prescription, and Lao G's Battle Preservation Fist."

Im stared at the image of Dr. Kureha sitting in the Office processing Document in the Star Map image, deep in thought.

"But these are all temporary. None of them can maintain a constant state like Kureha. Moreover, her athletic Ability is quite Strong. As for her seemingly old Appearance, there are two possibilities."

"Assuming that gold ring is truly Pure Gold, one is that she obtained the Pure Gold when she was a certain Age, and the other is that she is in Disguise!"

Im narrowed his Eyes and whispered, "Life Return or some kind of Medical Skill? But no matter what, I'll know once I get my hands on it..."
