The election of the new director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department planned by Tokugawa Katsuharu will take place in about a week.
This time, Tokugawa Katsuharu plans to run a grand election for the new director.
The reason is of course not for show, but to inform more people about his ambitions and at the same time force members of these big families to participate.
The ambition of Lord Tokugawa...the Phantom Thieves can get a glimpse of it from his palace.
At this moment, Amamiya Rin has led everyone from the Phantom Thieves to Tokugawa Katsuji's palace.
The key word for his palace is 'arsenal'. This key word was also guessed by Ye Falcon and passed on to Rin Amamiya through the spirit of the falcon.
The specific scenery in the hall is a giant castle tower-style building floating above downtown Tokyo.
It's just that this building is not entirely in the ancient style of the Warring States Period. Instead, both the walls and the interior of the building reveal a chilling metal mechanical structure style.
The shadow figures moving among them are all a group of robot warriors.
But where does this traitor theory come from?
"Is it possible that it's a trap?" Kusaku Sogo felt hesitant for a moment when he saw that the hall master was so friendly this time.
Ye Xuan's first reaction was... I support you guys biting each other.
This Tokugawa Katsuji's shadow dress is a very common image of a Warring States Daimyo. If it weren't for the ancient costume on him...it would be no different from him in reality.
Tokugawa Katsuharu, like a child showing off his toys, waved his hand and turned the projected image, recalling the scenery in his memory and saying.
"Tokugawa Katsuharu! Japan's most violent criminal and the biggest behind-the-scenes sponsor of the sobering drug case! We are here specifically to take away your twisted desires!"
It was the people in power in this country who first betrayed the trust of the people in this country, so don't expect the people to side with their country at this time.
Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji shook his head in disappointment.
Of course, the Eagle Country refers to America. Due to the fact that the world has not changed much in modern history, Japan and Bang Country are still two good dogs under America's control.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [awgucku..." Ye Xuan shouted again at this time.
"Haven't you ever understood... is this power enough to control the entire world? Are you still using this power to do petty thefts?"
"Guuuuu!" Ye Xuan called out at the right moment.
Because it is no exaggeration to say that Tokugawa Katsuji is definitely the biggest mastermind behind the proliferation of brain-boosting drugs in Japan.
Although high school students like Rin Amamiya and others really don't care much about international events, as the Phantom Thieves, they have accomplished their mission by clearing away the shadows within their own country.
"Yah, he just said, 'Stupid! Even if there is a vacuum in the power level of Eagle Country, someone will soon fill it. You are just building a chain of hatred by doing so." Amamiya Rin translated for Ye Xuan.
explain.
"Come in, the little girls of the Amamiya family and the Hyakkiin family, I will tell you in detail what I want to do for this country, and the little girl of the Hoshino family... As traitors to our country, you Hoshino family, why don't you
You should be grateful to me for being alive."
After he said this, the gate of the castle tower suddenly opened, and he made an invitation gesture to everyone in the Phantom Thieves.
Everyone in the Phantom Thieves... after hearing about Tokugawa Katsuji's ambitions, their first reaction was...
"The first thing I rely on is this."
"If you really want to think about the future of this country, what you should be thinking about is how to rectify the endless violent crimes in society, as well as brain-refreshing drugs, to seek more benefits for the general public, and to allow truly capable people to board the
The place at the helm, not you morons!"
"Such an instant super human can be a deadly weapon in any situation, coupled with our years of infiltration into the top brass of Eagle Country."
The various stupid decisions of Congress, the endless corruption cases in Japan, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's indifference to the Yakuza forces, and even the proliferation of brain-refreshing drugs, etc.
"So as long as the plan goes well, we can create a management vacuum in this country in a short period of time."
"Everyone in the Phantom Thieves should still be high school students, but please guess... how long will it take for the Eagle Kingdom to destroy our country? And do we have the ability to resist?"
Tokugawa Katsuharu's ambition and his twisted desires are truly unparalleled, and if his ambition is really revealed, the whole of Japan will suffer along with it.
"It seems that we can't reach a consensus. Today's young people should not be able to understand...how small and barren this island country is."
Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji raised his hand directly... The ground suddenly experienced a distortion and quickly zoomed away from the location of him and the Phantom Thieves.
"Not only did we find a way to resist, we even found a way to trample Eagle Country under our feet!"
Traitor? Hoshino family? Although Hoshino Mirai knows that his family background is not simple, otherwise he would not have such a luxurious ancestral home.
"In an instant, Takao Nation was able to do it just by relying on the two military bases Taka Nation deployed in our country." Kusaku Sogo, a first-class honors student, said, "Although it is not stated clearly...but we belong to this country.
A vassal country is not even qualified to resist."
"Shadows generally show a person's true inner thoughts. As a shadow, he cannot hide the secrets that Tokugawa Katsuji can hide in his heart."
Hoshino Mirai pointed at Tokugawa Katsuji with one hand, and the rotating saw blade held in the other hand had already begun to make a sizzling sound.
But the biggest reason for not caring is Rin Amamiya. Even most of the new generation of Japanese young people have no favorable impression of their country.
After he brought everyone in the Phantom Thieves to a room that looked like a combat command room, he showed them a holographic projection of a world map.
When Shadow Tokugawa Shengji said this, his tone was already trembling with excitement.
"Welcome everyone, you are the Phantom Thieves of the Heart that were rumored on the Internet before, right? I thought it was a joke among young people at first... I never thought that there really are Phantom Thieves who can steal other people's desires."
"You don't even know what my twisted desires are, and you still say you want to come and steal them? It's really ridiculous..."
Amamiya Rin took out two 'homemade smoke bombs' and an 'escape rope' that she made under the guidance of Ye Shun.
"Let you stand on the top of this world?"
"Then let's just let our people make up for it? Coercion, control...especially the abilities of your Phantom Thieves, change your mind!"
Shadow Tokugawa Katsuharu is now like a teacher teaching international politics to everyone, throwing a very strange question to Amamiya Rin and others.
"Then what if I say...now we have found a way to resist?"
This does not mean that Amamiya Rin and others are not patriotic. On the contrary, the country of Japan has completely wiped out the patriotism of the young people of their generation.
"I'm also very curious about what these big families in Japan have been preparing for these years."
Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji's face was finally shrouded in an expression called 'ambition'.
"..."
"To refresh your mind? Make money? The yen is just a number to me."
Shadow Tokugawa Katsuharu did not set any traps for the Phantom Thieves, mainly because he did not bother to do so.
The shadow Tokugawa Katsuji didn't appear as angry as the previous shadows. Instead, he was interested in chatting with the four Phantom Thieves, including the falcon spirit of a leaf falcon.
But Tokugawa Katsuji is a completely mad dog, and if he bites him, the whole world will be in chaos.
Hoshino Mirai didn't object. Before starting the fight, it was indeed necessary to figure out why this enemy... was an 'enemy'.
"Yaha said that if it's a trap, we can just use smoke bombs and the home track to escape."
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Not to mention national self-confidence and pride...their attitude towards their own country is indifferent.
"The ultimate dragon blood brain-refreshing agent, it can increase a person's physical fitness to fifteen times in an instant. If it is injected, it is possible to increase it to twenty times."
Hyakkiin Chiyo also agreed with Ye Shun's suggestion.
"Yaha is curious about the specific method to trample the Eagle Kingdom under its feet?" Amamiya Rin translated its eagle language for Ye Falcon.
"My twisted desire? Hahaha...those four, no, five young Phantom Thieves, do you know what my twisted desire is?"
"The desire to make money by relying on brain-rejuvenating drugs is twisted enough. Have you ever thought that the money... is stained with the blood of innocent people?" Amamiya Rin shouted to Tokugawa Katsuji.
Do you want Hiroshima and Nagasaki to become the most shining places in the world again?
What kind of dream are you doing?! When everyone in the Phantom Thieves heard this speech from Tokugawa Katsuji, their first reaction was that this old man has gone crazy.
Shadow Tokugawa Katsuharu had already stood at the door of his palace, waiting for everyone from the Phantom Thieves to arrive.
"Come on! Phantom Thieves! Join us." After saying this, Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji extended his hand to everyone in the Phantom Thieves and said, "Let's work together... to let this country stand at the top of the world."
Therefore, when everyone in the Phantom Thieves heard Tokugawa Katsuji's ambition, their hearts did not waver at all, and they didn't even want to laugh.
Ye Falcon's falcon spirit stood on Amamiya Rin's shoulder and shouted.
Hoshino Mirai finally couldn't stand the arrogant speech of Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji.
"But it doesn't matter... Once the spiritual disaster begins, I can easily obtain power far beyond that of you Phantom Thieves."
When the Phantom Thieves came to their senses, they had already been sent to the entrance of this mechanical castle tower.
But this conversation alone was enough for the Phantom Thieves to make up their mind that they would never let this bad old man succeed in his ambition.
Because once Tokugawa Shengji succeeds in his ambition, whether it is success or failure, it will once again drag this country into the abyss called war.
