Solo Leveling event:
______________________
"This isn't an error. It's 'Immeasurable.' Do you not understand what that means?" said the Assistant Manager. "It means that our detector is incapable of measuring his magical power!" he added.
"What? Then?" The employee responsible for ranking evaluation was shocked.
"This man is South Korea's 10th...!"
"That's right... He's an S-Rank."
...
..
((I've only heard rumors, but to witness 'Immeasurable' with my own two eyes...))
((He's not someone smaller guilds can recruit.))
((The 10th S-rank hunter...!))
((Should I just close my eyes and give it a try?))
((But isn't this an opportunity.))
Upon hearing the word 'Immeasurable,' all nearby guild explorers understood what it truly meant. This person was not someone they could recruit into their smaller guilds.
"Huh? That's...!"
"No way!"
Suddenly, someone's arrival caused a commotion.
"South Korea's best guild 'Hunters'...!!! A representative from that guild?!"
"It's Choi... Choi Jong-In!"
"Why is a man called 'the ultimate soldier' here?"
A tall man with short red hair and glasses appeared, wearing formal attire.
[Choi Jong-In (S Rank) Guild Master of Hunters]
[Hunters: - A guild that is active in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. - The only guild out of the top 5 guilds to have two S-rank hunters.]
"Is that...?"
"What!?"
"Why does this man, Choi Jong-In, or whatever, look familiar?"
"Wait, he's not just familiar... He's a dead ringer for that guy..."
In the Impel Down, both Magellan and Shiryu stared at each other in astonishment.
As it was challenging to find sources of entertainment in this prison, officers of all ranks had no choice but to resort to what the art store produced, especially since Bleach was the manga closest to the hearts of both Magellan and Shiryu during its release.
After Bleach had concluded, One Piece had once again become their primary interest.
But with the release of Solo Leveling, it began to occupy a significant portion of their time, as this was the era of hunters in their world, gradually replacing the era of pirates.
The era of hunters had started with the famous anime Hunter X Hunter and solidified with the appearance of Solo Leveling, which also revolved around hunters. For this reason, everyone and every organization attached great importance to it.
They would read it whether they liked it or not; these were orders from their organizations, just as the government had instructed Magellan, Shiryu, and every security officer in Impel Down to read Solo Leveling, as the government provided the volumes since there was no nearby art store.
Choi Jong-In, whose first appearance coincided with the official ranking of Sung Jin-Woo as an S rank, caught the attention of many due to his striking resemblance to a familiar character everyone knew.
In fact, not only Magellan and Shiryu felt this way, but also all veteran Bleach fans!
"Doesn't this guy look like... Aizen from Bleach!" exclaimed Shiryu with wide eyes.
"He really does look a lot like him!" Magellan nodded in agreement.
"His title is the Ultimate Soldier, and he's the master of the strongest guild in South Korea. This means he's incredibly powerful. I wonder if Jinwoo will join him?" wondered Magellan.
"Well, he rejected it so casually. It seems he's not as impressed," commented Shiryu.
"All he has is Aizen's face," mocked Shiryu.
"Let's leave it at that. Personally, I don't think Jinwoo is the type to join a guild. Neither Baek Yoon-Ho nor Choi Jung-In can persuade him"
Before Magellan could continue, the scene in the manhwa shifted to Jinwoo's meeting with the Hunter Association, specifically the organization's president.
"Oh, is this the old man, the president of the Hunter Association in South Korea?"
"He gives me the same feeling as the Five Elders... It's the exact same feeling," said Magellan in amazement.
"The Five Elders? Perhaps you're right... I wonder what they'll offer Jinwoo, and if it will truly satisfy him... If they give him the opportunity to enter numerous dungeons every day, I doubt he'll refuse," Shiryu removed the cigar from his mouth before exhaling a cloud of smoke.
...
In Impel Down's Level Three, Teach was biding his time, unable to escape from Impel Down no matter how hard he tried.
At that time, he had not yet realized why he had obtained the Kairouseki handcuffs' key and escaped so easily from under the Whitebeard's nose.
He had not yet realized that it was the Whitebeard who had simply allowed him to go.
...
Holy Land, Marigoa:
"So this is the President of the Hunter Association, Go Gun-Hee? He looks imposing..."
"A powerful old man," nodded Saint Ethanbaron, also known as Saint Venus, agreeing with Saint Mars.
"What a clever trick. To meet talents before the Five Guilds snatch them up. It seems that the Hunter Association holds immense power solely because of this old man. Woo Jin-Chul, who is just a higher A-rank, won't stand a chance against the ambitions of all those S-ranks in his country."
"His gentle attitude towards Choi Jung-In proves that..."
"So this old man is indeed extremely powerful... After all, you can't maintain stability in a country full of powerful hunters without a real deterrent power at the helm."
The rest of the Five Elders nodded after hearing Saint Saturn's words.
"Indeed, it applies in all worlds. The government cannot control the powerful without real power in authority."
Their eyes gleamed. Saying that meant they were addressing themselves.
In the current world, Rob, who had already conquered half the world, represented the greatest threat in their history.
He had terrifying power that was impossible to overcome without at least equal strength.
Even their god-like Lord couldn't eliminate Rob... Just thinking about him gave them nightmares every night.
Their role as the Gorosei had become meaningless. Their celestial titles were like dust when faced with a universal threat!
What could they do?
"Forget about that now; we still have plenty of time... Keep the developments quietly."
In their dark thoughts, Imu-sama always extended her hand and lifted them from the depths of despair, and this time was no exception.
That's why they served her humbly throughout the ages.
"Your command, Imu-sama!" they all shouted in unison.
"Ha, it seems that Jinwoo rejected the offer of this foolish old man who offered him authority... A foolish old man. What will he do with authority when he possesses such strength?"
"He has the power of the Shadow Monarch, the power to control death. Someone like him will live eternally. What does he care about a little authority?" Imu-sama mocked Go Gun-Hee's poor judgment.
