Chapter 4: The Navy in Prison!
Ao Pheasant really likes this oath of "dark blade, guarding justice".
He deliberately took out a pen and paper from the drawer of his desk and started writing.
Rustling sounds kept ringing in the general's office.
During this gap time.
Storm stared at the [Clay Fruit] in his hand.
A few lines of text that only he could see emerged from the void.
[Name: Clay Fruit]
[Star rating: None]
[Description: Superman Devil Fruit]
[Effect: The eater can turn any part of the body into clay, and can also create clay from the invisible.
Note: Devil Fruit symbolizes an unnatural evolutionary path, and those who eat it will be cursed by the natural sea]
[Comment: I played with mud in the sea]
[Clay The specific effect of [Fruit] was not beyond Storm’s expectations.
This is indeed a "Special Superman Type" Devil Fruit.
Just like Charlotte Katakuri's [Nuo Nuo Fruit].
Not the natural system, but better than the natural system.
‘Now, [Clay Fruit], please lend me your power! ’
Storm secretly absorbed and sealed the supernatural factors contained in the [Clay Fruit] through the [Devil Ring].
This process happens quietly.
A Devil Fruit that was still intact on the outside had lost its original extraordinary abilities.
Through the [Grand Trophy], Storm can continue to observe the specific information of the current [Clay Fruit].
[Name: Clay fruit that has lost its power]
[Star rating: None]
[Description: Devil fruit that looks weird and tastes disgusting]
[Effect: Nothing but tasteless]
[Comment: Shit! 】
‘The side effects are gone and it has completely turned into an empty shell...’
Stomtor held up the [Clay Fruit].
Although he did not eat this special super-human devil fruit.
But at this moment, he could still clearly feel that he had an extra power out of thin air.
It seemed like all he had was a thought.
You can create some white and soft clay on the spot...
Just when Storm was carefully feeling this strange and novel supernatural power.
Qing Pheasant finally finished transcribing the oath.
He looked up and saw that Storm was still holding the [Clay Fruit] in his hand.
“Strong, you eat.”
The sound of Qing Pheasant’s words called back Storm’s attention.
“Huh?”
Qingzhi looked at Storm, who was a little slow, and emphasized his tone slightly.
"Ström, eat it!"
Ström realized that Aoki Pheasant was signaling him to eat the useless [Clay Fruit].
Originally, he wanted to continue to observe whether the [Clay Fruit] that had lost its power would undergo any special changes in the future.
But now, just eat!
Ström lifted up the weird-shaped [Clay Fruit that lost its power] and took a big bite.
All of a sudden.
A nausea that cannot be described in words spread from his mouth to every nerve cell in his body.
This is simply tasteless - no!
It tastes like chewing "rubber"!
Is it possible that devil fruits are all made by the hands of the sun god?
Storm enjoys his misery.
He ate the [Clay Fruit] completely in just a few mouthfuls, not even a bit of peel left.
Looking at the opponent's livid expression, Aokiji seemed to recall the scene when he ate the [frozen fruit].
“Ah la la.”
Qing Zhi chuckled lightly.
"The taste of Devil Fruit will never be forgotten in this life.
"Want to try your ability, Storm? ”
“Of course! ”
Storm followed suit - or he couldn't wait any longer!
A ball of white clay appeared out of thin air in his palm, and then more unfolded Morphological changes.
From the head, to the torso, to the tail, and to the pair of flat and wide wings...
The green pheasant observed the fat white clay creature in Storm's hand with great interest.
"Is this a penguin? In fact, I also like penguins."
"Penguins?"
The corners of Storm's mouth twitched, almost "waking up" The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon.”
"This is a dragon!"
Vongola Storm, also known as Stormborn, dreams of raising a dragon.
For now.
Storm can't raise a dragon yet.
It’s okay to rub a clay white dragon with your hands.
Although this little white dragon is a bit smaller, has a rounder belly, and can’t see any dragon scales or horns...
But it can’t be mistaken for a penguin, right?
Feeling that he was being mocked, evil thoughts arose in Storm's heart.
Under his control, the little white dragon, about the size of a fist, slowly turned into a little fat chicken.
No!
This is not a fat chicken.
This is the "earth" pheasant, the "white" pheasant, and the "ice" pheasant.
It's not "Green Pheasant" anyway.
"Ahem."
Qingzhi glanced at the little fat chicken that might have meant something, and coughed lightly.
Storm quits when he sees fit.
He clapped his hands, and the "little green pheasant" turned into a "little flat magpie" and then disappeared again.
"Sir! I am willing to accept the undercover mission!"
Storm straightened his back and suggested actively.
“Now I need to become a pirate.
"So, I defected directly from the headquarters? The charge is 'stealing Devil Fruit'?"
No, why are you so active?
Qingzhi’s eyes widened slightly.
And why are you so skillful in saying this kind of "defection"?
“No! It’s not urgent yet!”
Qingzhi quickly shouted stop, trying to dispel Storm's dangerous idea.
The Navy Headquarters established a sharp-edged force, carefully selected good young men with innocent backgrounds, and proactively gave them precious Devil Fruits.
We are not asking them to go directly to the New World to die!
In the view of Qing Pheasant.
With Strom's current strength, going to the new world in the second half of the Grand Line would mean directly facing death!
"You have just eaten the [Clay Fruit] now, and your abilities have not been fully developed."
Qing Pheasant reassured.
“Your current mission is to stay in the navy and improve your strength.
“Furthermore, it also takes a suitable time for the navy to degenerate into pirates.
“All in all, everything went according to plan.”
What Qing Zhi calls "step by step".
Just let Storm temporarily ignore the fact that he has joined the Blade Force. Think of yourself as just an ordinary Navy soldier fresh out of boot camp.
For this reason, Aoki Pheasant asked specifically.
"Ström, do you want to stay in the headquarters in the future, go to the G series branch, or go to the four seas?"
The conventional "employment directions" for naval soldiers are nothing more than these three.
Storm also knows this.
His original idea was to go to the ordinary branches in the four major outer seas.
The Navy Headquarters is a super elite group among the navy.
The Navy Headquarters and the Overseas Branch are about three levels apart in terms of strength.
Storm could have become a "Navy Headquarters Lieutenant."
This means that once he chooses to go to the Sihai branch, he will immediately become a naval officer at the level of "college officer".
In the Sihai branch, the naval colonel is almost the top person in charge of a branch and has the greatest rights over the branch base.
Three words summary-Tu Emperor.
Once Storm went to the Sihai branch.
Not only can you gain maximum autonomy.
And it will also facilitate the subsequent "money-making plan" - a money-making plan with the goal of purchasing a Devil Fruit.
But this was already the previous plan.
Now Storm has changed his mind!
"Sir! I apply to go to Impel Down!"
[Big Trophy] requires fighting to get it.
Storm needs as many opponents as possible to improve his strength in all aspects.
His current identity is a navy, and his most suitable opponent is of course a pirate.
Look at the entire sea.
On the two key indicators of quantity and quality of pirates.
There's no place like Impel Down!
Not even the New World, which is the headquarters of the Emperor Pirates!
The big stage of the prison, come if you have any work.
“Promote City?”
Qing Pheasant frowned, he had never thought about this answer at all.
"Why do you want to go here?"
"Because the number of pirates pushing into the city is like crucian carp crossing the river."
Storm replied seriously.
“I want to observe as many pirates as possible up close to prepare for future undercover plans.
“In addition, Impel Down City is boring enough, and it is also suitable for concentrating on training and improvement. strength. ”
Qing Zhi heard this and nodded slightly.
He disagreed with the first half of Storm's words.
But the second half of the sentence does make sense.
Propulsion City is located in a windless zone, making it extremely difficult to enter and exit.
The jailers who are working in the city do not have much leisure and entertainment on weekdays.
If you ignore the special characteristics of the impel city.
This is indeed a good place to improve your strength.
Nothing more.
A thought suddenly flashed through Qing Zhi’s mind.
A prison.
It is also the world's largest prison.
Is the difference between a jailer and a prisoner really that big?
"Although the Navy and Impel City are both agencies under the government, they are not within the same system after all."
Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said slowly.
“It will take time to transfer you to Impel Down.
"At least three days, no more than a week at the latest."
"Yes! Sir!"
Ström gave a military salute and responded loudly.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
Qing Pheasant suddenly thought of something.
"In addition to you, there is another member of this new recruit training camp who has been recommended to join the Blade Force."
A suspicious target has emerged in Storm's mind.
Before he could ask, Qing Zhi took the initiative to tell him.
“It’s Granny Crane’s granddaughter, Peacock.”
It is indeed this woman!
Storm gritted his teeth secretly.
He just said, how did Zefa know that he was privately commenting on the Tianlong people.
It turns out that there is a "little bird" secretly snitching behind my back.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have counted the stars and looked at the moon with that peacock woman that night!
What a sin!
Qing Pheasant was about to say something, probably to let Storm and Peacock get along well.
But at this moment.
Just listen to a loud "boom".
The door to the general's office was violently kicked in from outside.
Storm didn’t even see the figure clearly.
A loud roar sounded in the general's office.
“Asshole!”
Storm looked intently.
I saw a gray-haired old man grabbing Qingzhi by the collar with one hand and spraying it wildly at the latter.
“My grandson said he wanted to ‘become a pirate’ again! I will never allow this!”
This style, this tone, this look.
Storm immediately recognized the other party's identity.
Isn’t this the famous Garp, the Gar Cannon?
Well, Lieutenant General Garp, can you perform that again?
That's it.
‘Just stop me like this, Sengoku! Otherwise, I will kill Sakaski! ’
A small theater was playing out in Storm’s mind. On the surface, the eyes were looking at the nose, and the nose was looking at the heart.
Qing Zhi frowned, his face was shining, and he didn’t know whether it was sweat or saliva.
“I have heard this hundreds of times!”
Qingzhi responded rather irritably.
"Who cares about your grandson!"
While speaking, Qingzhi waved his hand to Storm.
The latter understood and exited the general's office without saying a word.
The "quarrel" between Aokiji and Garp continues.
But Storm is already far away from the "battlefield".
‘This year is 1518 in the Haiyuan calendar. ’
‘The grandson that Garp said would become a pirate should be Portcas D. Ace! ’
Storm was walking on the top floor aisle of the headquarters building, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
‘There is still one year before Shao Shao Ren goes to sea. ’
‘There are still four years until the Sun God sets out to sea. ’
'The retreat of the old era, the alternation of the old and new order, the awakening of the sun god, the huge war that split the sea in two...'
'The time cannot wait for us! ’
