Chapter 427: The Essence and Principle of Future Sight from Observation Haki
Future Sight is a Superpower widely present in various fantasy Worlds. However, the methods and mediums for activating it differ, leading to variations in how the Ability manifests.
Lord Imu naturally also possesses the Ability of Future Sight, which comes from Observation Haki.
Furthermore, compared to others who can only 'see' two or three seconds into the Future, he could 'see' up to eight seconds into the Future before breaking through his Limit.
And now, after a simple test, it's confirmed that he has broken the ten-second barrier and can 'see' up to eleven seconds into the Future.
However, regarding this type of Future Sight from Observation Haki, based on his mastery of Haki, he can say with certainty that it is not a 'Time-type' Ability.
The essence of Observation Haki is the Perception of Mental Power.
By strongly sensing the Strength of various Auras around, one can sense enemies outside their line of sight or predict the Opponent's next move.
And higher-level Future Sight is actually also derived from Perception.
It's just that it perceives more things, and more complex things.
In other words, it collects all nearby information, including oneself, the Opponent, and the Environment, and then integrates and calculates this information in the mind through Mental Power, finally producing a brief Future Screen Feed.
That's right.
What is called Future Sight in Observation Haki is actually Perception with an added 'Calculation'!
This is also why 'Future' Charlotte Katakuri and Kaido must maintain calmness to successfully use the Core principle of 'Future Sight'.
Hot-headed Anger or surging impulses will severely affect the Efficiency of absorbing external information and performing ultra-high-speed Calculation.
In comparison.
The Ubuyashiki Family's Future Sight is the true Time-type, although it is said to require a certain Lifespan cost.
But Lord Imu still doesn't believe that their Ability can directly predict the Future of the World on the other side of a Star Gate that hasn't been opened yet.
For this reason.
He repeatedly watched the video recording of Cipher Pol's conversation with Kagaya Ubuyashiki several times and found that the latter frequently mentioned Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Logically, since they are both from the same World, their relationship is naturally very close, and seeing the other person die in the 'Future' would certainly make them very anxious.
But Lord Imu suspects that the medium for Kagaya Ubuyashiki's 'Prediction Ability' is Sanemi Shinazugawa, or perhaps even every Demon Slayer Corps Member?
In other words, if Sanemi Shinazugawa was not at Army Headquarters, and did not join the first batch of vanguard Troops in the 'Future', then it would be impossible for him to 'dream' of these Screen Feeds.
Then the World Government would naturally suffer the greatest Casualties since the Star Gate was opened, incurring heavy losses!
To be honest.
Lord Imu actually has no Evidence.
But this isn't important; he never needs Evidence to do things. So he directly gave an Order to the Five Elders, telling them to Inspect more suitable former Demon Slayer Corps Members and transfer them to Army Headquarters.
In addition, Cipher Pol, the Marines, and the Air Force should also add some.
Finally.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's Son, Ubuyashiki Kiriya, should also be cultivated. At the same Time, the Biochemical Research Institute should investigate what exactly the 'Lifespan' they consume is.
If it is Life Force, then find a way to restore it for them. If necessary, even Animal System Devil Fruits can be provided at any Time!
Time-type Future Sight, which can also be actively controlled, is absolutely a Strategic-level Treasure for a Civilization.
"Speaking of which, Arlong's sister seems to have a similar Ability..."
Lord Imu's thoughts stirred, and the Footage in 'Star Fate' quickly shifted to Fish-Man Island. A moment later, he found Shirley, who was just seven years old.
A young Mermaid Loli of the Great Blue Shark fish species, with long black hair.
According to the 'Canon' introduction, she will Awaken a mysterious 'Divination' Ability in the Future, using a Crystal Ball as a medium to see Screen Feeds of Future events, with 100% accuracy, meaning it's a Future that will definitely happen.
The drawback is that she cannot know the exact Future Time when the event will occur.
Now there's a question: Should he let her grow naturally, or should he send her to Ubuyashiki to receive early understanding of Future Sight?
As for whether Ubuyashiki has the Ability to cultivate her, that's unknown, but they have mastered Future Sight for a thousand years, so they must have accumulated Insights and Experience, right?
"Still, send her over and see if they can spark something new. Her Age is just right, and while we're at it, have Ubuyashiki send those quadruplet sisters over..."
Lord Imu had previously wanted the Ubuyashiki quadruplet sisters to be his Maids.
Later, somehow, he forgot. Now that he remembers, he might as well handle it together.
He immediately issued another Order to the Five Elders.
"So, the World on the other side of this third Star Gate most likely also has a Means of Future Sight. It's just unknown if it's a person or some kind of Technology, and it seems stronger than the Ubuyashiki Family..."
Lord Imu's thoughts at this Time were similar to the Five Elders'. He felt that the Otherworld encountered this Time might be a very Strong Civilization.
On the other side.
After receiving Lord Imu's Order, Saint Topman Warcury first sent Administrative Officials to Wano Island and Fish-Man Island. Then Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter had people send over the Data/Files on several former 'Demon Slayer Corps' 'Hashira'.
Previously, they didn't care about these Otherworld Swordsmen whose Strength was at most Headquarters Colonel level.
But now that Lord Imu said these people are likely the medium for the Ubuyashiki Family's Future Sight in the Sea Star World, their Value is completely different.
In the Future, no matter what important operations there are, they can be completely arranged to participate, and then the Ubuyashiki Family can be asked if they saw anything...
But this made Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who was nearby, uncomfortable.
Because most of the 'Hashira' are currently in the Ministry of Police Affairs, which is under the Judiciary. Isn't this essentially cutting Meat from his own Influence/Power?
So he couldn't help but open his mouth to remind them: "No matter what, the Ministry of Police Affairs must have at least three 'Hashira'!"
"Let's see about that."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked at the Virtual Screen projected into the air by the Visual Den Den Mushi.
"Let's divide them according to their Breathing Style types. This Old Man definitely needs people more suitable for Combat. So, the 'Flame Hashira' Father and Son, 'Stone Hashira' Gyomei Himejima, and the former 'Thunder Hashira' Jigoro Kuwajima and Sakonji Urokodaki, along with Giyu Tomioka, these two 'Water Hashira', will belong to the Military."
He was thinking of giving the 'Water Hashira' to Marine Headquarters, so that 'Water Breathing' would become the basic training content for the Marines in the Future. Then the 'Thunder Hashira' would go to Air Force Headquarters, and 'Flame', 'Wind', and 'Stone' would go to Army Headquarters.
However, while Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's idea was quite good, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter on this side couldn't help but twitch their mouths after hearing it.
Listen, is that even reasonable?
Good grief, the Military is taking them all, huh?
"Our Cipher Pol also heavily relies on Combat Ability, but we need people suitable for Assassination. So, 'Serpent Hashira' Obanai Iguro, 'Love Hashira' Mitsuri Kanroji, and 'Mist Hashira' Muichiro Tokito will belong to us."
"Oh, right, Shinobu Kocho's 'Insect Breathing Style' and Kanao Tsuyuri's 'Flower Breathing' are also good."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter stabbed Saint Jaygarcia Saturn in the chest with another 'Blade', making the latter's Expression turn as black as could be in pain. So, what's left now?
Nothing!
The remaining Sound Breathing users already belong to Sea Ninja Village...
"Rengoku Father and Son, you can only choose one. Same for Sakonji Urokodaki and Giyu Tomioka. Also, can you guys please seriously look at their Data/Files? It's written there that they don't kill people!"
"Insect Breathing is one thing, but how is Flower Breathing suitable for Cipher Pol?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn unleashed his full Firepower, retorting fiercely against the two of them, especially regarding the issue of not killing people. It's simply impossible for them to serve the Military and CP.
"Whether they kill or not isn't important. What's important is having them. It's perfectly fine to purely use them as 'Early Warning Tools'. Moreover, they can completely teach their Breathing Style to others. Isn't that what your Ministry of Police Affairs is doing?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said with a half-smile, half-not Expression.
