Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 365 The Gate to Another World Opens, Uproar in the Pirate World!

After seeing Lieutenant General Dol enter the portal, Borsalino's expression also became serious.

It didn't matter whether the person who went in was a prisoner or a death row inmate, but the person who went in now was a rising star of their navy, an elite vice admiral, so Borsalino naturally had to pay more attention to him.

"Haven't the equipment and Dr. Vegapunk arrived yet?" Borsalino asked Lieutenant General Maynard beside him.

"The fastest transport ship has been dispatched and is on its way," Lieutenant General Maynard said, shaking his head.

On the other side of the interdimensional gate, Lieutenant General Dor slowly walked out. Just as the prisoners had said, this was in the mountains and it was nighttime, so there was no sense of threat around them for the time being.

However, she immediately pulled the bolt of the submachine gun hanging on her body, maintaining a high level of vigilance, and then released her Observation Haki to sense the situation within the extreme range.

After a moment, she relaxed a little, at least within her Observation Haki perception, she did not detect any threat.

She didn't linger at the portal; she quickly spotted a rock about several dozen meters away, then stepped behind it, concealing herself as much as possible.

Only then did she take out her Den Den Mushi from her waist and dial her old boss, Bane.

After a moment, the Den Den Mushi did not respond, which made Dol's heart sink. Could it be that the Den Den Mushi cannot be used here?

This contradicts the previous speculations of Dr. Genos and Dr. Vegapunk. As bioelectric waves, normally, as long as there are two individuals of the same species, they should be able to form a communication network, right?

Undeterred, Lieutenant General Dol dialed the Den Den Mushi signals of the others again.

Ain, Nami, Zoro, Waver, and the others all failed until she dialed Zephyr's signal. The Den Den Mushi finally responded and perked up, which made Dol happy.

Meanwhile, in Xindal, at the city's defense command center.

Zefa was sitting in his office, looking at the personnel documents in his hand.

"That won't work either. New Dar is still short of talent, and the quality of the city's defense forces is uneven. They can't even keep up with the East China Sea Navy. It's been too short a time. At this stage, I don't have any subordinates that I can fully trust and who can shoulder heavy responsibilities. Do I have to hold classes here and train them from scratch?" Zefa pondered these questions with some trouble.

Three days after Bane and the others left, Zephyr, with the cooperation of the Orantok family, successfully took over the Newdale City defense force and became its supreme commander, while Isamu served as the deputy commander.

With Zefa's abilities, reorganizing the military was a piece of cake for him. With the cooperation of Yixiao, he took control of the entire city defense army in half a month, eliminated a series of disobedient old factions, and strongly promoted some new people.

However, that's just the nature of the city defense army; there aren't many capable individuals. Zefa has been constantly searching for talent, wanting to further expand the size and organizational strength of the city defense army, but so far, he hasn't received any effective feedback.

On the surface, Zephyr has taken control of Newdale's military forces, while in the shadows, Garp has unified the entire Newdale city's police force. Now, Newdale's two major violent organizations are completely under their control. At the same time, the Orantok family is very loyal and fully cooperates with all their plans and actions, so so far, no uncontrollable troubles have occurred.

The portal to the Orantok Manor, which was originally expected to last for about a year, ultimately failed to reach its limit and completely dissipated and closed a week ago.

As a result, Newdale City, which already had no special value, once again became an ordinary place.

Dr. Genus has run out of materials and is unable to continue his research on the interdimensional portal. He has recently been working on other research and has moved into the city defense army camp.

Just as Zephyr was thinking about what to do next, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket rang.

He didn't show any particular emotional change, because when he contacted Garp, Issho, and Dr. Genus, he always used Den Den Mushi, so he assumed that they had something to ask him.

"It's so late at night." Zephyr muttered as he took out his Den Den Mushi and glanced at it. Then, his expression suddenly changed.

"Dor!?" Zephyr looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand in surprise, then frowned and said, "Is it malfunctioning?"

However, not daring to delay anything, Zephyr immediately answered the Den Den Mushi and said, "This is Zephyr! Report your identity."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Dol responded with delight, "Zeff-sensei!? This is Vice Admiral Dol from Marine Headquarters!"

"Is it really you?" Zephyr asked in surprise. "How did you contact me? Has Dr. Vegapunk developed a signal channel that can travel across the world? That's incredible!"

"No," Dol quickly interrupted Zephyr's reverie, then said, "It's a portal. On our side, in the New World, on Whole Cake Island, a portal has appeared. As an advance team, I passed through the portal three minutes ago and immediately tried to contact you and the others. However, I tried to contact Lord Bane and the others, but without success."

"Bane and the others have already gone to a new world and haven't returned yet. This place is the empire he mentioned earlier. Only I, Garp, Yixiao, Dr. Genus, and I are still here to set up a new base." Zephyr explained first.

He then eagerly asked, "Has our world opened a portal? What's the situation around you? Is there any danger? Where exactly are you? Can you get any information?"

"There is no immediate danger. After I came through the interdimensional gate, I entered a deep mountain forest. Using my Observation Haki to scan the area roughly within Dressrosa, I did not find any signs of human life. As for the location coordinates, I cannot obtain information about the surrounding uninhabited area for the time being," Dor immediately reported.

"Do you have a tracking device with you?" Zephyr asked, pressing the emergency button on the table to call out to Garp, Issho, and Genus.

"He didn't bring it, but Admiral Borsalino has arranged for Dr. Vegapunk and all the related equipment to be sent to Whole Cake Island as quickly as possible. They are expected to arrive in two days," Lieutenant General Dol reported.

The locator was locked to the same type of locator that Zefa and the others were carrying, which was intended to deal with this situation. However, it was only a contingency plan. The fact that the interdimensional portal actually opened over there was truly unexpected for everyone.

Lieutenant General Dor and the others wouldn't normally carry these things with them, because they're practically useless except in situations like this, and if they break them, they'll have to be repaired.

"Is that so?" Zephyr pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, let me first share with you the intelligence we've gathered. The Empire is currently in a very chaotic state."

Just as Zephyr was recounting this information, Garp and Issho, who were protecting Dr. Genus, suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in, saying, "What's going on? Your Den Den Mushi aren't working, and an emergency assembly has been activated. What happened? Hmm? Who are you talking to? Are Bane and the others back?"

In this world, there are only four of them with Den Den Mushi, so who does Zephyr contact?

"It's Dor." Zephyr glanced at Garp and the others and said, "A portal has opened in our world, and Dor came over first. We're exchanging information now!"

"What!?" Dr. Genus looked surprised, and Garp and Ichisho were also quite astonished.

However, now was not the time to talk, so they listened attentively to Zefa and Dor exchanging information and did not interrupt them.

"Therefore, judging from the current situation, the threat from the Empire is not as terrifying as we imagined. With Borsalino in charge, it is enough to deal with most situations. So I think you can be more aggressive and immediately send a large force into this world to establish a base on the spot, protect the interdimensional gate, and determine the location as soon as possible. We will also go to meet up with you!" Zephyr said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will take this information back to General Borsalino right now!" Dol replied immediately.

"Our coordinates are located in the western part of the Empire, in a city called Newdale. If we are attacked by external forces and cannot guarantee our control of the interdimensional gate, and cannot return to our original world, we can choose to meet up with you here first." Zefa quickly informed Dor of Newdale's coordinates and other information.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Dol immediately jotted all of this down in his notebook, and then said, "Next, I will attempt to establish interdimensional communication in accordance with the 46th plan of the Interdimensional Gate. Please make sure to keep the communication active."

"Understood." Zefa nodded and began to count off in an orderly fashion, starting from the beginning and continuing at a steady pace.

This was standard naval procedure, and Dor immediately understood that it was to check for any time discrepancies or interruptions. Without saying anything more, he began counting off as well and then quickly returned towards the portal.

While counting off, they stepped into the interdimensional gate, and soon, Lieutenant General Dor reappeared in front of Borsalino and the others.

Borsalino was just about to say something when he saw Dol counting off. He immediately realized that she had contacted Bane and the others, and his expression relaxed considerably.

From this perspective, at least, the mysterious and eerie gate in front of us must be the legendary interdimensional gate. Unexpectedly, before Bane and his team could obtain the relevant technology, this gate suddenly appeared. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

But since it has already happened, we must face it.

Hearing Zephyr still counting, Dol's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "I've arrived at Whole Cake Island. Zephyr-sensei, can you still receive my count? My counting is normal and hasn't stopped."

"I'm normal too!" Zephyr said excitedly. "Keep trying. Is it necessary to use the interdimensional portal as a medium, or has the signal between the two sides been fully established? Have your people contact Garp and see if that helps."

"Yes." Dor looked at Borsalino upon hearing this.

Borsalino didn't need her to repeat herself; she was listening to everything. She immediately said, "Zeffa-sensei, I'll give it a try now."

With that, Borsalino dialed the Den Den Mushi signal to contact Garp.

But clearly, the Den Den Mushi didn't react, and Garp didn't receive any communication either.

"It seems a bit of a shame that we have to go to your side to establish a signal, and only after establishing a signal can we communicate through the interdimensional gate," Borsalino said.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Dr. Genus excitedly took over the conversation, saying, "It's alright. As long as the location is confirmed, this problem is easy to solve. I'll just install a signal relay device at the portal, and then the two worlds will be able to communicate in real time. This is extremely important information. Also, the portal is powered by energy. Once the energy is exhausted, the portal will close. Have Vegapunk bring the Mother Spark energy device. I've made some breakthroughs here; perhaps we can control this portal for a long time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa repeated, "The situation on the Empire's side is very favorable to us. With your strength, you are capable of handling most situations. Now, we should quickly enter the interdimensional gate on a large scale and establish outposts."

"Really? I understand." Borsalino's eyes lit up, and he said with great anticipation.

Instead of hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Borsalino kept Vice Admiral Dol in contact. Borsalino then arranged for the troops stationed on Whole Cake Island to assemble in preparation for a large-scale entry into the portal, while also contacting Sengoku, Sakazuki, and other high-ranking officials who were in the know, informing them of the current situation and information.

Soon, as these events unfolded, the Melvure Naval Headquarters and the Holy Land Mary Geoise began to operate at high speed.

With these two core entities making significant moves, the entire pirate world will soon undergo earth-shattering changes.

On the battleship rapidly sailing towards Whole Cake Island, Sakazuki, holding a Den Den Mushi, said excitedly, "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? I'll have Melvyu initiate a new round of global recruitment soon. Since we're going to conquer the world, although our current forces are plentiful, we must be prepared for a series of subsequent situations. Recruit, we must recruit!!!"
