Chapter 267: Guren’s Choice
World of the Titans, Noah's Ark.
Imu was sitting on the Empty Throne, with his eyes closed, resting.
Time passed in silence, until Oimo and Kashii slowly pushed open the huge white doors of the hall.
Imu's eyes suddenly opened, radiating a cold glint.
Stussy led a sturdy old man with perfectly coiffed gray hair and a crisp white suit. The two walked until they reached the front of the throne.
"Bowen Knohen, Commander of Cipher Pol - Aigis 0, pays tribute to His Excellency Saint Imu." The old man said, kneeling reverently and holding a white case above his head.
"I report that the Op-Op Fruit has been successfully brought in." Bowen continued, a mix of excitement and pride in his voice.
For someone like him who had dedicated his life to protecting the Celestial Dragons, standing before the God of the Celestial Dragons who created the World Government and developed the Dimensional Gate, was the ultimate honor.
"You've done a good job." Imu replied in a calm, yet distant voice. "Hinaki, bring the case."
"Understood, Lord Imu." The eldest of the Ubuyashiki sisters replied softly. With graceful steps, she descended and took the case from Bowen's trembling hands. She then returned to the second level of the platform, where the rusty ancient weapons of the first twenty kings who had followed Imu were located.
Imu, with a movement of his will, made the case float towards him. He opened the lid and looked at the Op-Op Fruit. Although he longed for it, he closed the case after a few seconds and looked back at Bowen.
