## Chapter 418: The Famous Dragon and the Police Stations!
Regarding Dr. Kureha's matter, Im found it wasn't that simple.
If he wanted to confirm whether the small golden ring on her navel was Pure Gold, he would first have to get it to examine it. But how could he do that?
If it were an ordinary person, he would just teleport over and 'take' it.
But Kureha was now the Dean of the Medical Academy. Her role and Status in the World's medical field were basically equivalent to Vegapunk's in the Academy of Science.
In this Situation, even Im had to be wary and certainly couldn't act rashly or roughly.
Could he borrow it to look at?
The problem was, would Kureha be willing to lend it? And if not, what should he do?
For a moment, Im was also unsure what to do.
Fortunately, he could already live forever and didn't actually have much need for Pure Gold. However, Pure Gold was definitely something that needed to be recovered. Otherwise, if it were somehow spread throughout the Whole World by someone one day, it would definitely be a huge problem.
So the problem circled back.
To find the 'Lantern Fish' that could only devour islands, one needed to place a piece of Pure Gold in the sea and use the Radiance it emitted to attract it.
Original Copy, Im had thought he would only have a chance at least twenty-three years later, when the 'Little Girl' inside the 'Pure Gold Angler Fish' appeared.
He hadn't expected such a turn of events, where Dr. Kureha possibly had it.
Over at Sabaody Archipelago.
"What?!"
Dragon received a phone notification that shocked him immensely, causing even the hand holding the Handset to tremble slightly.
"You heard correctly, the Revolutionary Army has been completely dealt with."
The Transponder Snail sat upright on the Office Desk, mimicking the Judiciary Dean's serious Expression, stating calmly and in a deep voice.
"Including Shakky, Jabba, and all High-ranking Executives who were former Roger Pirates Crewmates, all hidden Strongholds spread across the Major Seas, and over four thousand Revolutionary Army Members. Not a single one survived. You don't need to worry about them anymore."
Dragon fell silent after hearing this, remaining speechless until the communication ended, his Gaze fixed on the Wound on his arm.
He was somewhat intimidated by the World Government's Strength.
Two days.
It had only been less than two days since he reported the Revolutionary Army's Matter, and now he was being told they were gone?
[Knock knock knock.]
Just then, the Office Door was knocked, startling Dragon's Mind.
"Come in."
An Inspector Police Officer serving as his Secretary walked in and said, "Minister, Miss Stella, a Government Reporter from the Propaganda Department, has arrived with a Camera Crew. She said she wants to Interview Kyojuro Rengoku and the other Demon Slayer World people."
Dragon nodded; he knew about this.
"Yes, I've already been notified. Tell them to cooperate."
"Understood!"
The Inspector quickly went out to handle it after receiving the instruction.
Meanwhile, in front of the Public Security Department Base's Main Gate.
A Blonde Beauty with a radiant complexion and skin like congealed fat, wearing a black dress that accentuated her curves and stepping in beautiful silver High Heels, stood before a cameraman holding a camera Transponder Snail.
Her emerald green eyes, like those of an elf, and her charming Smile, like that of a goddess, caused Citizens watching the Live Broadcast in Various Places in the World, Men, Women, Old and Young, to show varying degrees of infatuated Expression.
*She's so beautiful, Miss Stella...*
*If there were a Beauty ranking in this era, Stella would definitely be ranked first, right?*
"Hello, viewers and friends, it's been a while! I'm your old friend, Stella!"
Stella held the Handset gracefully and greeted the Transponder Snail's eyes.
The current her was a happy young Woman with a fulfilling love life and career, so her overall temperament appeared particularly confident and cheerful.
It was impossible to tell that just a few years ago, she was a high-quality Slave locked in a Cage, waiting to be bought by a rich person.
"The place we've come to today is the Public Security Division Headquarters Base on Sabaody Archipelago!"
"And the Public Security Department is a Police Department under the Ministry of Police Affairs of the World Government's Judiciary. They are responsible for the Management of all Police Stations, both present and Future."
"According to the inside News I've received, the Marine Branches in various countries will gradually become Police Stations in the Future. This means the Public Order on the islands will all be the responsibility of the Police."
"From now on, no matter what trouble you encounter, even if something is stolen from you, you can report it to the Police and seek help!"
After listening to Stella's words, the Citizens living within the Affiliated Countries suddenly realized.
They had just been wondering what the Public Security Department was and what the Police were. So it turned out they were just Marine Branches with a new name!
In fact, some Kingdoms in the Grand Line First Half Sea Area already had Police Stations, but due to Time and Manpower constraints, people in the Four Seas and other Sea Areas had never even heard of the Police.
In their impression, local Public Order was generally managed by four types of people.
One type was the Royal Army, mainly responsible for the Public Order of the Royal Capital.
Another type was the Constables. Some were appointed by the King and were responsible for towns outside the Royal Capital. Others were hired by Residents of Independent Islands that didn't belong to any Kingdom, who pooled funds to hire some somewhat famous Experts.
The third type was the Marines. If an Island happened to have a Marine Branch built on it, then there was no need for a Royal Army or Constables.
However.
The Marines generally only intervened when Pirates landed on the Island to plunder.
As for internal Conflicts among the civilian population, such as fighting and causing trouble, theft and robbery, they basically turned a blind eye. As long as there wasn't a major disturbance, they didn't manage it much.
The last type was the Gangs, especially prevalent in the West Blue. They even dared to clash with Pirates who came to plunder!
Overall, the Public Order Environment in Various Places in the Sea Star World was actually quite poor. Many times, when Citizens encountered trouble, they truly had no way to seek redress.
Therefore, after basically understanding the work of the Police, many places watching the Live Broadcast erupted in Cheers filled with surprise.
However, the existence of the Police also caused dissatisfaction among another group of people.
First were the Royalty of various countries. They felt this was depriving them of their Control over their Citizens. Also, these Police would definitely act according to the World Government Law, right?
So if Royalty or Nobility committed a crime, would they also be arrested?
Nonsense!
There were also the current Constables, who immediately realized they were about to be unemployed. And the Gangs also realized their territory was about to be threatened.
But the most intense Reaction came from the Marine Branch Base Commanders in Various Places in the Four Seas. They all pulled strings and contacted each other, especially the Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels who had acquaintances at Marine Headquarters, who directly picked up their Transponder Snails.
They just wanted to know how long it would take for the Police Stations to affect their areas, and if the Police Stations really came, would they have to return to Headquarters?
Regarding these questions, because Fleet Admiral Sengoku had not issued a Prohibition, they all received clear answers.
Yes.
For the Marines of the Four Blues Branches, there were mainly three choices.
One, change uniforms and become Police. Perhaps they wouldn't even have to move and could directly Take Office at the local Police Station.
Two, be transferred to Marine Headquarters.
Three, retire and go home to be a Civilian.
But these three choices were not very satisfactory for some Branch Base Commanders who were accustomed to being 'Local Tyrants'. This directly caused them to curse loudly after hanging up the phone and then start thinking of ways to deal with the Situation.
Regardless.
Stella's Interview Live Broadcast this time, even before she walked into the Public Security Base Main Gate, directly stirred up another round of Public Opinion Storm in the Major Seas.
Its Popularity even somewhat surpassed the 'Myriad Worlds Top 100 Competition'. After all, for most Citizens, this Competition was just something to watch for entertainment. Star Gates and Otherworlds were the same at this stage.
But the spread of the Police Stations was closely related to their lives.
Soon.
The Ministry of Police Affairs, the Public Security Department, and the Police Stations became the most popular terms among the people, and Dragon, as the Minister, also began to be well-known to everyone.
He became famous!
