Chapter 2686 Cutting off more sorrow in the world!

The next day.

July 9th, 1508 (Haiyuan Calendar)

It was exactly 7:00 AM.

This moment is destined to be etched into the annals of history for Gintama Star.

The night passed.

The dark clouds and green light that had enveloped the sky had long since dissipated.

Instead, a clear sky without a single cloud appeared.

However, the atmosphere in all cities, including Edo, was unusually heavy.

All I could see were outdoor screens on the streets and televisions in every household.

It's still a live streaming platform on the internet, and the images are exactly the same.

The background is the solemn and majestic Honmaru Palace of the Tenshukaku (castle tower).

Tokugawa Shigeshige.

This general was known for his benevolence and was deeply loved by the people.

She wore an orange haori (a type of traditional Chinese garment), a white inner garment, and gold-patterned hakama (traditional Chinese trousers).

He sat upright in front of the camera.

His expression was calm and resolute, his gaze seemingly fixed on the eyes of every citizen through the screen.

"I am Tokugawa Shigeshige."

The opening remarks were concise and powerful, without lengthy bureaucratic jargon or insincere pleasantries.

"Just now, on behalf of the Shogunate, I reached a final agreement with the World Government."

General Mao Mao's calm voice instantly resonated in every corner of the world.

Whether it's the bustling Kabukicho or a remote rural village.

Everyone held their breath at that moment, stopping what they were doing and watching silently.

"For the future of this planet, so that we and our descendants can embrace a broader future and no longer be frogs in a well."

"I hereby formally announce—"

Tokugawa Shigeshige took a deep breath, as if each word weighed a ton.

"From this moment forward, Star Silver Soul will secede from the Galactic Empire and unconditionally join the World Government's list of planets under its direct control."

"At the same time, the Tokugawa Shogunate will hand over all administrative, judicial, and military powers to the World Government's branch office on Gintama Planet, the Judicial Bureau, and the Planetary Governor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole world fell into a brief silence.

Then an indescribable uproar erupted.

Some people were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths, while others gazed blankly in the direction of Edo.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the power that Admiral Kizaru displayed yesterday was truly astonishing.

It was as if a god had descended to earth from mythology.

For most ordinary people, as long as there is no more war and no more fighting against such a terrifying entity, that would be enough.

The survival of the shogunate no longer seemed so important.

As long as it doesn't have too much of an impact on daily life, it's fine.

The only concern is whether the World Government can withstand the Galactic Empire's subsequent counterattack.

Tokugawa Shigeshige did not give the public much time to process what was happening.

He continued speaking on each screen:

"This is not a humiliating surrender, but the beginning of a new era."

"The end of the shogunate does not mean the collapse of order."

"I, Tokugawa Shigeshige, will step down from the position of Shogun and continue to protect this planet and everyone as the 'Deputy Director of the World Government's Branch Office on Gintama Star'."

Speaking of it.

Mao Mao looked up at the beams and pillars inside the palace, which bore witness to hundreds of years of history, and a sense of relief and warmth flashed in his eyes.

He had long felt that society no longer needed the shogunate and the general.

It's a relief that it can now be handed over to a more capable world government.

"As for this General's Castle, the World Government has agreed to preserve it as the private property of the Tokugawa family."

"From then on, it was no longer a symbol of power, but a testament to history."

"In the future, the outer city area will be open to the public as a park on a regular basis."

"Welcome everyone to visit and have fun."

The live broadcast is over.

The screen returned to normal display.

However, the resulting wave of public opinion has already begun to sweep across various regions.

And this happened during the live broadcast.

The atmosphere in another hall of the castle tower was extremely strange.

At this moment, a group of people, led by high-ranking officials from the Shogunate Police Agency and the Shinsengumi, have gathered here.

They stared wide-eyed as if they were witnessing something incredible.

Matsudaira Katakuri was completely unaware that the cigarette in his mouth had fallen onto the tatami mat.

Kondo Isao's mouth gaped open, his jaw almost dislocated, and he froze on the spot.

Hijikata Toshiro's pupils dilated in shock, despite his always fierce-looking eyes.

Even Okita Sougo subconsciously wiped his eyes.

Also present were Sasaki Isaburo and Imai Nobuyo, who were still serving as Matsudaira Katakuriko's bodyguards, even though the 'Mikaigumi' had not yet been established.

Sasaki Isaburo, the eldest son of the prestigious Sasaki family.

Possesses elitist tendencies and a slight obsession with cleanliness.

He is skilled in using a katana and a spiral pistol in combat.

Upholding the principle that "police officers must bear a deeper awareness than criminals."

They have a very tough and ruthless style of law enforcement and resolutely resist the corrupt internal system.

Imai Nobunaga was once one of the "Naraku Three Feathers" of the "Tenshoin Naraku".

She is also an emotionally detached, sadistic girl who is skilled in dual-wielding and assassination techniques, can speak ventriloquism, loves donuts, has a stunning figure, and has blue hair and red eyes.

The two trusted each other deeply and considered each other family.

(Shimura Shinpachi's note: Please check the encyclopedia for details about his experiences.)

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the person kneeling opposite them.

The young man was politely drinking tea.

He had a head of dark red, medium-length hair with his bangs combed back.

There are obvious red markings on the left side of her forehead, and earrings with sun-shaped flower patterns hang on both sides.

He wore a crisp dark green uniform and a black trench coat.

He wore a green shield-shaped badge with a dog's head and the rank of police inspector pinned to his chest.

the most important is.

Those dark red eyes were crystal clear.

A warm smile, like the spring sunshine, graced her face.

It makes people unconsciously feel good about it.

"Nice to meet you, fellow police officers."

The young man put down his steaming teacup.

His voice was gentle and sincere, with a captivating charm.

"I am Tanjiro Kamado, a police inspector directly under the Public Security Bureau Headquarters of the World Government's Police Department. Nice to meet you."

"I have come here specifically to invite you all to join us."

It was Tanjiro Kamado!

He was transferred not only from the police station in Donghai Goya City to the Public Security Bureau headquarters.

His police rank was also promoted from Superintendent to Inspector, which is equivalent to Senior Colonel or Colonel in the military.

"puff----"

Hijikata Toshiro finally couldn't hold back any longer.

It was like spitting out a mouthful of blood that had been pent up in one's chest.

"What a joke!"

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Tanjiro, and shouted:

"This isn't just a matter of looking alike, it's practically the exact same person!"

"That protagonist of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro Kamado!"

Why are you here?!

"As expected of you, Hijikata-san. I wasted my time watching all those promotional videos."

Suppressing his surprise, Okita Sougo calmly retorted with a sarcastic remark:

"It is clearly stated above that the World Government has conquered the 'Demon Slayer World'."

"Then his appearance is not surprising."

"We might even have the opportunity to see more familiar comic book characters in the future."

"Indeed, don't make a fuss, Hijikata!"

That being said, Kondo Isao's expression when he looked at Tanjiro was anything but calm.

"However, Kamado Tanjiro is actually a police inspector, and he looks much older than in the manga."

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, do you really know Sun Breathing?"

"Yes, after all, our ancestral world joined the World Government nine years ago, and I am already twenty-five years old."

Tanjiro Kamado was already used to being recognized.

It's worth noting that there's also a manga called "Demon Slayer" by Haixing.

Although the content is very different from that of Gintama Star.

"Sun Breathing. I do know how to use it."

"We'll be colleagues in the future, so let's have the opportunity to learn from each other."

As for my current identity

"I think being a police officer and killing ghosts are similar in some ways."

"It's all for the sake of protecting innocent people, and doing our best to cut off more of the sorrow in this world."

Tanjiro Kamado's eyes and tone were incredibly firm.
