The Divine Guard

The old man with white curly hair mentioned the military. "We still need to continue recruiting troops. Our current numbers are insufficient."

"Of course, recruitment doesn't have to be limited to our world. We can also recruit from other worlds."

Conquering a world may be easy these days.

Maybe just collecting the source will do.

But the area of a world is so vast, even if the source is obtained, it is only a preliminary conquest.

There are still many things to do in the follow-up, all of which require a large number of troops.

The army's 300,000 is far from enough.

And Marine cannot move.

Because the sea still needs Marine to continue to suppress.

Otherwise, using too many troops will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

So conscription needs to continue.

Hearing this, the bearded old man stroked his beard and said in surprise, "You want to recruit soldiers from the zombie world?"

"Yes."

The curly-haired old man sneered and nodded. "Otherwise, keep them to grow food in the Otherworld?"

"Maybe that would be a good choice, but it's far too good to be true, isn't it?"

"With such a large number of survivors, it would be a waste if they were not recruited for combat."

"The most important thing is that there will be one world after another in the future. It is impossible to recruit troops solely from our sea."

"Since this is the case, why not recruit soldiers frrom Otherworld? Conquer a world and recruit soldiers every time!"

"Also, don't forget that most of the survivors in the Otherworld today are His Highness's believers. If that's the case, why not take this opportunity to recruit troops and create an army exclusively for His Highness, consisting only of His Highness's believers?"

The plan, admittedly, was good.

Even Kaos's eyes lit up.

The old man with the knife nodded in agreement. "That's right. This army shall be the Divine Guard!"

The blond old man next to him frowned. "What about the Army?"

"The army will continue to exist. However, in the future, the army's elite will need to be transferred to the Divine Guard. At that time, the Divine Guard will mainly be responsible for the campaigns when the New World opens, and the army will handle the aftermath of the conquest!"

"This is not bad."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

After some discussion, the Divine Guard plan was activated.

However, the finer details still need to be discussed by the Five Elders.

This was not Kaos's concern.

He was the ruler above the Five Elders.

Coupled with his possession of the double-piercing door, he could open one world after another. Ascending to godhood was the greatest reward for these subordinates!

Soon, the Five Elders were gone.

Kaos also bid farewell to Imu.

But before leaving, Kaos invited Imu. "After the first world is conquered, I don't need to stay in Mariejois anymore. The door to the next world can be opened at any time, and I want to go out to sea and take a look. After all, I've only left a few times. Do you want to go together?"

After conquering the zombie world, Kaos essentially gained the ability to open two double-piercing doors.

However, one door was fixed. It was the reward for conquering the first world, and it could only connect to the zombie world—essentially functioning as a secondary door.

The other was the main door, which could connect to either the zombie world or the next world.

Two doors might not sound like much.

But the functionality was extensive.

Kaos had already placed the secondary door in Mariejois.

In this way, even if he left Mariejois and went to other places, he could enter the zombie world through the main door, and then travel back to Mariejois via the secondary door located in the zombie world.

Essentially, it was a teleportation network.

There were three secondary doors in total, but two had yet to be placed.

At that point, it meant Kaos could pass through the main door at any time, travel to three fixed locations, and move back and forth freely.

Imu subconsciously wanted to reject Kaos's words.

It was probably because she had stayed too long among the flowers.

Imu had become a little nerdy, reluctant to go outside.

But Kaos noticed this and spoke in advance. "Now that I'm the king, there's no need for you to stay here anymore, right? It's time to go out for a stroll."

This time, Imu didn't refuse.

Instead, she fell into deep thought.

After a moment of hesitation, she nodded. "Alright."

Kaos suddenly smiled and then left.

Next, he did intend to leave Mariejois.

After being in this world for so many years, he has only seen a few areas.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious!

And coincidentally.

The Germa family needed to be destroyed.

This would also be a good opportunity to drop by North Blue for a walk.

Thinking of the Vinsmoke family, Kaos's eyes turned cold.

It was the first time he had been robbed.

The feeling was inevitably unpleasant.

Next, Kaos continued to deal with some key matters.

For example, the partially fused regions.

There were still two opportunities left for regional fusions.

Kaos already knew the overseas locations of certain countries in the zombie world, so naturally, he wouldn't miss this chance.

With a group of subordinates, he initiated another fusion in the area near East Blue on the Red Line, the same place as before.

This time, two new massive islands appeared.

Just like last time.

Kaos swept the area with his Conqueror's Haki, stunning everyone on the islands.

Immediately afterward, he ordered his people to capture all the island's inhabitants.

Once the islands were secured, everything was settled.

Night gradually fell.

Kaos returned to the castle.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, Saya Takagi approached Kaos. After hesitating for a moment, she finally gathered the courage to speak. "Your Highness, thank you for the gift and for relieving my parents punishment."

Saya Takagi's blushes suddenly and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me serve you tonight?"

Kaos raised an eyebrow, although he didn't understand what Saya said, but that didn't stop him from understanding that it was about what Stussy had done.

Also, seeing Saya among all his maids offering herself to serve him without him even asking her only shows that Stussy's methods are strong.

Kaos noticed Stussy smiling, then smiled and said, "Don't think about it too much, you deserve it."

Saya Takagi's cheeks turned even redder and she felt happy inside. She felt that she was very important to His Highness, which made her preference for His Highness grow.

Kaos got up from his seat and approached Saya Takagi and said, "Let's go to the bedroom."

He wrapped his hand around her waist while Saya Takagi nodded, her pale face turning red, and she bit her lip.

As the two left the dining room, Kaos's hand slowly slid down and stopped on Saya Takagi's butt.

Nearby, the three Boa sisters seemed to have figured it out too.

Their faces turned as red as if they were about to bleed, filled with the shy embarrassment of young maidens.

The nightlife began.

At the same time.

Outside the Red Line.

Several ships approached quietly.

Tiger took a deep breath and looked at his younger brothers beside him. "Are you sure you want to come with me? I've already told you—you will die. You still have a chance to back out."

Originally, he had planned to go to Mariejois alone.

But after sharing the news with some close brothers from Fish-Men Street, several of them insisted on coming along.

Among them was Jinbe.

Perhaps this was one of the changes brought by Kaos's arrival.

Jinbe responded firmly, "Brother Tiger, you don't need to say any more. Since we've come this far, we're not turning back."

"That's right, Brother Tiger."

"Since we've already decided, how can we give up halfway?"

"Exactly!"

Hearing this, Tiger felt both moved and helpless.

He knew he was walking toward certain death.

And he didn't want his younger brothers to share his fate.

After some hesitation, he tried to convince them again. "You've all heard about the World Government releasing some slaves. Even if we go up there, we'll probably return empty-handed. I still hope you'll reconsider."

But as soon as he finished, one of the Fish-Men sneered. "Brother Tiger, you're overthinking it. Do you really think the World Government would release slaves? This is just a trick to fool the masses."

"Exactly," another Fish-Men agreed.

The others, including Jinbe, nodded in unison.
