Chapter 74 - 74: Imu's reflections

Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Imu was alone in his tree house, focused on writing something in a book, with a serious expression on his face, sometimes lost in memories, with a reflective look.

"By embedding seastone into the hulls of Navy warships, we allow the Sea Kings to feel that the warships are part of the sea, greatly reducing the chances of attacks. This technique should not be very complicated, just mentioning it should be able to be re

"For now we can see if by helping the Kingdom of Baldimore, Vegapunk can be more honest. Meanwhile, by revealing these advances to him, the technology of the World Government and the weapons of the Navy can be strengthened..."

Because the Five Elders were considering the suppression of the Navy and cost issues, although they already had automatic rifles and grenades in North Blue, they had not yet mass distributed them.

As Imu pondered the improvement of the Navy's weapons, he realized a problem...

"After opening the Dimensional Gate, it is likely that few worlds will be similar to this one, with 80% water. In the event of war, combat will likely be focused on land, so the Navy's role will not be so crucial."

"Army..."

Imu decided that it was time to pay attention to this force. The armed forces of the World Government did not include the Air Force, there were only the Navy, the Red Earth Continent Army, and the Holy Land Guards.

Of course, in the future there will be an Air Force.

"Now we should start strengthening the army's training and equipment to turn them into a force capable of fighting tough battles!"

The question was, who would train them?

'How about we bring Zephyr here?' Imu asked himself internally.

But in the end, he shook his head. Let's not talk about whether Zephyr is willing to transfer to the army. The navy is also very important. After all, Starfish still needs the navy to protect it.

"Then who else is good at Army training and combat?"

The second person Imu thought of was Garp, but thinking about his personality, he shook his head once again. At this moment, an idea flashed, and a face wearing a black general's uniform appeared in his mind.

"Douglas Bullet, didn't he grow up in the war and help his adoptive father become the general of the militarized country of Galzburg by virtue of his military exploits?"

"Moreover, the large-scale war that the country of Galzburg was involved in took place on the island. It was a purely ground battle. The key is that this guy is quite good and is detained in Impel Down."

...

In front of the tree house where Imu lived, a figure appeared. He approached the door, he carried a large sword shaped like a crucifix that had a curved black blade.

[Knock, Knock, knock.]

The man knocked on the door three times, then without waiting for a response from inside, he opened the door and walked in, as if he was returning to his own home.

Imu, who was sitting in the living room, had already noticed his arrival. The information recorded on the desktop had been cleared away. Then he returned to his usual indifferent demeanor and quietly watched the other person sitting on the sofa opposite.

"Speaks."

"What do you want when you come back this time, Dracule Mihawk?"

According to the previous Imu's memories, Mihawk was brought here since he was born to be raised by him, who was bored at the time. So this place is really equivalent to the other party's home.

After this boy grew up a little, he would often see Imu practicing with his sword outside under the moonlight, which also sparked his curiosity and interest in swordsmanship.

However, the previous Imu refused to teach him. Surprisingly, at the age of ten, Mihawk attempted to leave Mary Geoise in order to find a master swordsman.

But the previous Imu found this very interesting and ordered all CPs and the Holy Land Guards to cooperate secretly, allowing Mihawk to leave without any danger along the way.

At the same time, there will be CP personnel secretly following and protecting.

Otherwise, at the age of ten, how could he have traveled across the ocean and grown up smoothly? Those CP personnel killed countless unlucky people who were threats to Mihawk.

Then, when Mihawk was about seventeen years old, he was already a swordsman and discovered the secret personnel of the CP, and then returned here to challenge Imu.

The result was naturally no surprise, he was completely defeated, but he also received a sword from the latter as a gift for his promotion to a swordsman.

It is the 'Black Blade', one of the 12 Supreme Grade swords, that Mihawk carries behind his back.

Imu originally wanted to wait until the other party turned twenty next year to call him over, but he didn't expect that he would come back on his own initiative. However, the difference of less than half a year made no difference.

"My ability has reached a limit..."

Mihawk looked at Imu with eyes exactly the same as his and said softly, "From now on, I want to learn from you."
