"Certainly."
Kaos nodded and smiled slightly. "I wouldn't deceive my ancestor on this matter."
"And on the other side of this door, there are not just one, but countless worlds. These worlds only need specific conditions to be opened."
Upon hearing this, Im's pupils constricted once again.
She then spoke in a deep voice, "Take me over there to have a look."
"Alright."
Kaos nodded, stood up, and stepped through the golden door with Im.
Suddenly, they felt a moment of disorientation.
And then, a desolate city appeared before them.
The ground was stained with dried blood.
There were numerous corpses scattered around.
Abandoned vehicles and more.
This was clearly a modern city.
On the streets, figures could be seen wandering aimlessly.
Kaos quickly recognized them.
"They're zombies," he murmured, his eyes gleaming. "So, this is a post-apocalyptic zombie world?"
Im was shocked by the sight before her. Though some elements of this world were somewhat familiar to the world of pirates, much of it felt foreign.
The tall buildings that reached hundreds of floors, strange items, and the general layout were nothing like anything in the Pirate World.
Im had lived for centuries, and with one glance, she could already tell that this was not her own world.
As Kaos had said, it was indeed a new world.
At the same time, she heard Kaos' murmur and asked, "What do you mean by a post-apocalyptic zombie world?"
Kaos explained, "It means this is a world that has been through an apocalypse, and the reason for the apocalypse is these zombies. They devour all living creatures. Originally, they were humans, but they became like this after being infected by a virus. The virus is highly contagious, which caused almost 90% of the world's population to turn into zombies."
"I see," Im nodded, though a new question arose. "But how do you know all this?"
"It told me."
Kaos gestured toward the golden door behind him.
Of course, this was a lie.
It was unlikely that Kaos would tell Im that he was a reincarnation from another world.
Revealing the existence of the double-hole doors was a good thing.
But being a person from another world reincarnated into the One Piece world as a Celestial Dragon? That was out of the question.
Hearing this, Im nodded and looked at the world once again. A flicker of interest appeared in her eyes—a slight tremor in her heart that had remained dormant for centuries.
In the past, she had found everything dull, but had clung to the throne out of responsibility.
Yet, now, with the appearance of this New World, she began to find the world more exciting.
Simultaneously, she instinctively began to consider the benefits she could reap from this New World.
"So, as you said, if we want to develop this world, the first thing we need to deal with is these zombies, correct?"
Kaos nodded. "Yes."
Im raised her slender hand and pointed her index finger at a zombie.
Without any unnecessary movement, there was a slight whooshing sound.
Bang!
The targeted zombie exploded instantly.
Im said indifferently, "These so-called zombies are weak."
Kaos smiled helplessly and spread his hands. "The weaker they are, the better, don't you think?"
After all, it was Im.
No matter what these zombies were, they were once ordinary humans. Their terrifying nature stemmed from their sheer numbers.
Not to mention the possibility that more advanced zombies might appear later.
But who was Im?
The supreme ruler of the World Government, the true master of this world.
Someone who had undergone immortality surgery.
With immense power, it was no exaggeration to say she stood at the very top of the world pyramid.
With her strength, even advanced zombies would seem like ants before Im.
"You're right."
Im glanced at Kaos with approval. "Weakness means we can claim this world with minimal sacrifice."
"But now, we should return."
"Exploring this world is not our task; we'll leave that to others. As rulers, we only need to wait for the harvest."
Hearing this, the corners of Kaos' mouth lifted.
Those words were not said casually.
For Im to speak this way meant Kaos' decision to reveal the truth had been correct.
With the Double-Piercing Doors, Kaos didn't need to undergo trials.
In the future, Kaos was destined to become the true master of the World Government.
Because with the Double-Piercing Doors, Kaos had the qualifications and the resources!
"Understood."
Kaos nodded with a smile, left that world with Im, and returned to the garden.
Once back in the garden, Im didn't hesitate. She pulled out a Den Den Mushi and made a call.
The line connected quickly.
A voice came through.
"Master Im."
Kaos recognized the voice immediately—it was one of the Five Elders.
Im gave an order, "Come to me."
"Yes."
The Elder replied promptly, hanging up the call.
Afterward, Im looked at Kaos and said, "The Five Elders will arrive soon. When they do, I want you to explain the Double-Piercing Doors to them."
"Understood."
Kaos nodded with a smile, offering no objections.
After about fifteen minutes, the Five Elders arrived.
Facing Im, they knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Master Im." x5
After Im gave them permission, the Five Elders stood up and nodded to Kaos.
The elder dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a dagger-like weapon in his arms, spoke first, "May I ask why Master Im has summoned us? Is there something important?"
Im turned to Kaos. "Explain it to them."
Kaos nodded and, under the suspicious gazes of the Five Elders, introduced the Double-Piercing Doors and explained their function. He also told them about his and Im's recent visit to the New World.
Like Im, the Five Elders were stunned.
But their reactions were even more dramatic. They all stared at Kaos in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
"A New World?"
"Since you and Master Im have already been there, it must be true. But even so, it's hard to believe."
"Indeed."
"This is great news! A New World represents a brighter future for the World Government!"
"I see, so this is why Master Im called us here?"
The Five Elders let out a collective sigh of relief.
Normally, Im did not summon them unless it was a significant matter.
Before arriving, they had worried that something serious had occurred.
Now it was clear: something serious had indeed happened.
But in the eyes of the Five Elders, this was even more important than the rise of the Pirate King or the Revolutionary Army!
A New World.
In their hands, the World Government would become even greater.
As they thought this, even the Five Elders couldn't suppress their excitement.
Im nodded slightly and then spoke calmly, "One more thing."
Hearing this, the Five Elders immediately knelt on one knee before Im once more.
"Please, speak."
Im pointed toward Kaos. "From today forward, Kaos will be the next King of the World Government!"
The Five Elders exchanged glances.
But without a moment's hesitation, they nodded in agreement.
"I agree."
"Seconded."
"Seconded!"
