Gintoki dropped his chopsticks onto the tatami mat.
He remained in the same position, chopping food with his hand suspended in mid-air, his dead fish eyes wide open like never before.
A piece of tamagoyaki, not yet fully chewed, was revealed in her slightly open mouth.
Shinpachi reacted more violently, falling backward abruptly.
The back of his head hit the ground with a thud.
But he seemed to feel no pain at all, his finger pointing at the screen trembled violently.
"That, that, that is..."
“Are you kidding me?!”
Gintoki's voice squeezed out of his throat, so soft it sounded like he was talking to himself, yet it was distorted by his extreme shock.
"We just mentioned Cp."
But the words stuck in his throat, because his reason was screaming.
At the same time, he recalled seeing Rob Lucci and Bruno with his own eyes that day.
"Cosplay again?"
Gintoki mechanically turned his head to look at Shinpachi, who was equally dazed.
"Have today's 'organizations' developed to the point where they can operate warships and form fleets?"
"Or is this some kind of massive 'World Government Theme Park Parade'?"
How much are the admission tickets?
Do you have children's tickets?
"Do you sell the same sunglasses as Kizaru?"
Although his thoughts were a bit chaotic, his instinct to make sarcastic remarks was still at work.
Anyone could hear the disbelief in his voice.
The image on the television screen then switched to Earth's near-Earth orbit.
Everyone saw that the fleet belonging to the shogunate had been urgently dispatched.
More than two hundred warships of the same type lined up in an interception formation to meet the mysterious fleet head-on.
It didn't take long.
A serious male voice came through the public communication channel.
"This is the Earth Shogunate Self-Defense Force."
"You have entered the planet's defense identification zone. Please immediately identify yourselves, state your purpose, and cease further advance."
"If this is a duplicate, please indicate it immediately."
But he hadn't finished speaking.
A completely different voice enters the channel.
The voice was steady, deep, and righteous.
Although the pronunciation is a bit strange, it is indeed the Japanese language they are familiar with, and they can understand it completely.
"We are the First Space Fleet, directly under the Navy Headquarters of the World Government."
"The commander of this fleet is Admiral Kizaru of the Navy Headquarters."
"We hereby formally declare that we are exercising provisional jurisdiction over this star system."
"Your fleet is required to immediately disarm and clear the way, and to notify the representatives of the regime within the star system to prepare for contact."
"If there is any resistance."
The other party paused, and this brief silence was more suffocating than any threat.
"This will be seen as a challenge to the authority of the world government and will be severely punished."
silence.
First, there was silence in the television studio.
The anchorwoman, Yukino, froze on the anchor desk, unable to react even with her professionalism.
Then came the silence in the Nichirin Pavilion in Yoshiwara.
Kagura's vinegared kelp fell onto her knee.
The handle of the kunai in Tsukuyomi's hand creaked as she gripped it tightly.
Ri Lun's face was filled with deep worry.
Young Haruta was also caught up in the atmosphere and held his breath.
Then came the silence of all of Edo. No, the silence of the entire world.
After a brief silence came a nuclear-explosive uproar and uproar.
"World Government?!"
"Naval Headquarters?!"
"Admiral Kizaru?!"
Each shout was louder than the last, and Gintoki was the first to jump up, his naturally curly hair almost standing on end.
"what is this?"
"Have those guys in the editorial department finally gone mad?!"
"Such a large-scale collaboration to promote the new magazine?"
"Where will the money come from to pay copyright fees?"
"This is not something that can be resolved with an apology!"
"Calm down, Gintoki!"
Shinpachi immediately jumped up and held onto the glasses frame with both hands.
"This must be a mistake!"
"Or it could be some kind of new virtual reality live streaming effect. I guess the Shogunate is playing a joke on us!"
"And how come the Marines in One Piece have space battleships?"
"In the comics, their warships can't even get to the sky islands!"
"Moreover, the warships in the picture are not naval vessels."
"The leader of the opposing team is most likely a 'hardcore One Piece fan.' That's why they deliberately chose these names."
Shinpachi was nearly driven to madness as he tried to explain and speculate.
"Otherwise, I might as well play Frieza from Dragon Ball."
"At least they really do have spaceships, and they really do invade planets."
"Ughhh, what am I even saying?!"
Gintoki was seen pacing back and forth in the Japanese-style room next to the dining table, his face filled with panic.
"I mean, could it be that we've been going a bit too far with our pranks?"
"For example, I often impersonate them, and I'm always serious and think I'm perfect!"
"For example, last time I used the One Piece manga to prop up the table legs!"
"So the world government is coming to arrest us?"
"How could such a thing happen, Gintoki!"
After listening, Shinpachi calmed down and retorted loudly: "There is an insurmountable barrier between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds!"
"That's common sense!"
"But," Kagura muttered softly, "wouldn't it be great to taste Sanji's cooking? It would definitely be delicious, right?"
"Kagura! How could you be included too?!" Shinpachi felt like he was about to faint.
"yes,"
Gintoki suddenly stopped, touched his chin, and a strange light flashed in his dead fish eyes.
"If this is true, it doesn't seem like it's entirely a bad thing?"
Shinpachi was taken aback: "Huh? Gintoki, what are you talking about?"
"Look."
Under the watchful eyes of Hinowa, Tsukuyomi, and the others, Gintoki sat down again, crossed his legs, and returned to his usual lazy demeanor.
"Since Kizaru is there, then Luffy, Nami, and the others must be there too, right?"
An excited smile spread across his face: "Does this mean we'll have a chance to meet the people from the comics?"
"New style, like that green-haired, directionally challenged, three-sword style guy?"
Shinpachi's face flushed red after hearing this, but he didn't forget to refute Gintoki.
"Mr. Sosoron is not directionally challenged!"
"He just has a slightly poor sense of direction. That..."
Shinpachi's voice trailed off as he spoke, and finally, he pushed up his glasses and admitted it with a shy expression.
"If I could really meet Mr. Zoro, I would like to ask him for advice on swordsmanship and Bushido."
Before joining the Yorozuya, he was a part-time worker who had not abandoned his self-respect and samurai spirit.
She was also attracted by Gintoki's "samurai spirit" and volunteered to become his follower.
However, he now regrets it because he has been owed wages for a long time.
In short, Zoro from One Piece is Shinpachi's idol.
He dreams of becoming a cool, mature, handsome, and highly skilled swordsman—a true samurai.
"Right, right!"
Gintoki slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "So it's not so bad if they really are the World Government!"
"At that time, we can get autographs, take photos with the staff, and even have a chance to eat a Devil Fruit!"
Suddenly his gaze drifted to the sky outside the window, and his voice softened slightly.
"Unfortunately, I actually prefer Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. His Zanpakuto and Shinigami uniform are so cool, and..."
He did not continue.
But he thought to himself, "Moreover, if I had the ability to see souls, perhaps I could see Master Matsuyo."
Shinpachi keenly sensed the fleeting unusual tone in Gintoki's voice.
But before he could ask further, Kagura happily picked up the conversation:
"I want to eat Sanji's cooking, aru! And I want to be friends with Chopper, aru!"
