# Chapter 436: The Star Gate is Sealed!

"What!"

"This Old Man's 'Super Fist Bone Meteor' didn't kill anyone?!"

Garp stared dumbfounded at Brook, who had just returned to his Soul and stood up to report the Situation to him. Meanwhile, the Five Elders, Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, and other Higher-ups who were constantly monitoring the area through the surrounding Transponder Snails also frowned in unison.

"Yes, I saw a white curved Wall appear in front of the opponent's Position. It was probably fifty to sixty meters high, somewhat like something formed from wax liquid. It blocked most of the Explosion Energy from the Bomb Rock."

"And although the remaining Energy was released after it shattered, the Position was already empty; they must have evacuated the Soldiers beforehand. However, Admiral Garp, the Fortress, Trenches, and railway Tracks on that Position were all blown away, so it wasn't completely without Effect..."

Brook kindly tried to console him.

But his words only caused a string of Black Lines to appear on Garp's head, and his Expression immediately fell, like an unhappy old prankster.

"That's right..."

At this moment, Sengoku said with a helpless Expression.

"The opponent has a very strong Future Sight Ability. Coupled with the fact that the Star Gate is only two meters wide and three meters high, no matter what we project through, the Direction is fixed in a straight line, so they just need to withdraw the people there in advance!"

The Admirals present exchanged glances. So the problem had circled back again; they still needed to build a Position outside the Star Gate. Only then would their operational space and angles increase.

But the problem was, according to the opponent's Future Sight Ability, there was an eighty percent chance they would be hit by the 'Nuclear Weapon' Explosion as soon as they went out. If they sent in large numbers of low-Rank Troops, they would be subjected to carpet bombing from tens of thousands of Heavy Howitzers.

It was unsolvable again...

"Heh, I really don't believe it. I just can't figure out what kind of World 'you' are?"

Inside the luxurious Palace of Noah's Ark, Im's mood wasn't great either. Or rather, the Feeling of being unable to learn the opponent's 'Identity' for so long made him somewhat annoyed.

Regardless of Strength or weakness, victory or defeat, at least let him know 'who you are', right?

That way, even if 'you' are truly much Stronger than 'me', 'I' can still 'willingly' close the Star Gate, right?

Now you don't even introduce yourself, isn't that a bit rude?

Im continuously complained in his Heart. A moment later, he issued a stern Order to the Five Elders: find a way to capture an Otherworlder from Star Gate Number Three!

Yes.

He planned to use the 'Memory Reading' Ability to 'look at' the Captive's Memory Screen Feed. Although the languages were different and he probably wouldn't understand what was being said, he could definitely find some things he was Familiar with.

That would be enough!

It's just that this Order doesn't seem very easy either...

Ultimately, the Mission still fell to Gecko Moria. After all, only his 'Shadow Doppelganger' could safely capture people right now. So the 'Shadow Doppelganger' flew out of the Star Gate again.

It was the same as before; it wasn't subjected to any bombardment from Heavy Guns or other obstructions. But when it grabbed a desperately struggling Gun-wielding Soldier from the Trench and flew back amidst numerous terrified Gazes.

Instantly.

Several muffled sounds rang out. In Mid-air, both the 'Shadow Doppelganger' and the Soldier's Body were shot through with large holes.

Anti-Tank Rifles!

Clearly, their meaning was simple: you black thing can wander around freely, and you can even kill a few people if you're interested, but you can't take Living People away!

Very cruel, but very effective at blocking Intelligence.

Under Gecko Moria's Control, the 'Shadow Doppelganger' grabbed a few more Soldiers. Without exception, they were all targeted by Anti-Tank Rifles or swept by Heavy Machine Guns from multiple Directions!

Helplessly, Moria had no choice but to inform the Big Shots about the Situation, and Im quickly learned about it as well.

What should we do if we can't capture a Captive? Does he really have to make a move himself?

To be honest, he didn't want to do that.

Are you kidding? Without knowing what kind of World is on the other side, and what Unconventional Means they possess, he absolutely couldn't risk going himself. Otherwise, what's the point of having so many subordinates?

"But a high Wall formed like white wax liquid, what kind of Ability is this?" Im frowned as he looked at the Intelligence File recording Brook's description.

That's why, without clear pictures or Footage, relying only on words or Writing, it's really hard to tell what it is!

But the opponent is clearly preventing Transponder Snails from getting close. This is very annoying.

"Speaking of which, encountering such a Challenging Otherworld, shouldn't we have someone do a Public Broadcast to make all the Sea Star People realize what the concept of Otherworld War truly is?"

Of course, Im also knew that the Combat death of an Army General would definitely cause a huge uproar across the World, and even affect the World Government's image.

But compared to making most people develop a sense of crisis and combat readiness, this small Price seems worth Paying.

Moreover, it would let everyone understand that the World Government is genuinely fighting to compete for Other World Resources for the World. Besides, this kind of Matter they will encounter sooner or later, there's nothing wrong with letting them get some exposure early on.

The future World will definitely require the entire population to participate in all aspects of Other World Conquest. Even if you are planting Grain, you must know that this Grain is supplied to the Army fighting on the Otherworld front lines!

"We can first have the Propaganda Department make a video from the previously recorded Footage..." Im made the Decision in his Heart.

At the same time.

At three twenty-six in the morning.

Just as the Headquarters of the Otherworld Strategy Committee and the Command Department of the Supreme Military Command were holding a Meeting overnight, thinking about how to break through the Firepower and Intelligence blockade of Star Gate Number Three.

A sudden Situation turned into an Urgent Intelligence report that appeared before these Higher-ups.

The Star Gate exit was sealed by extremely solid Crystal, and outside it was covered with a layer of White Substance that looked like wax liquid!

Soon.

The Otherworld Strategy Committee immediately dispatched an investigation team composed of personnel from multiple parties including the Academy of Science, Army Headquarters, and Cipher Pol.

"When did this happen?"

Sakazuki looked down at the four Army Soldiers responsible for guarding and asked coldly.

"Reporting, 'Akainu' Admiral! Looking at the playback Footage from the Transponder Snail, it seems this layer of Crystal was already there at two thirty-four, and just now, those White Substances were added!"

The Army Soldier who replied said with trembling fear, gritting his teeth. There was nothing they could do; this time, it was indeed their dereliction of duty.

"Then why didn't you discover it at the time?"

"Be-because it was transparent, and there was no sound, and also..." Another Army Soldier stammered.

Sakazuki looked at them Expressionlessly and said, "And also, your Attention wasn't focused on the Star Gate, right?"

"Y-yes, we are very sorry, 'Akainu' Admiral!"

These Army Soldiers could only grit their teeth and admit it. The truth is, although the Star Gate allows you to see the Scenery of Another World, in the middle of the night, it's just blackness upon blackness, who could keep staring at it?

"Go out and receive your punishment."

Sakazuki turned his head and no longer paid attention to them. After all, these Soldiers weren't deserting; it wasn't enough to warrant him using a Great Eruption on them. Compared to that, it's better to care about the Situation at the Star Gate.

At this moment, Dr. Anasi from the Materials Research Institute under the Academy of Science, with the cooperation of four Researchers, scanned the Crystal's composition using a Detection Instrument.

"Such high Strength and Hardness. This thing can no longer be described using Steel. But it doesn't look thick, and it's transparent. It's somewhat like a Kabaneri Heart Membrane, but it's not on the same Rank at all. If I had to describe it, it's similar to that of Vice Admiral Jozu's Ability."
