In the general's office, Warring States was looking through several documents that had just been sent to him.
[That day Bastiu, Smoker, Hina and others returned to Marinevando with hundreds of injured sailors. Especially when they moved a stone statue off the warship, "Wise General" Sengoku was also a little dizzy at the time. 】
[Who would have thought that the Flying Squirrel would be defeated so neatly! As soon as the battle started, we lost our main combat power, it was so fast. 】
[To be honest, under such a situation, Bastiyu was able to bring Smoker, Hina and all the sailors back to the headquarters, which was quite impressive to the Warring States Period...]
[Lieutenant General Garp laughed a few times, turned around and asked for leave to go back to his hometown in Donghai. 】
["It's just that those guys didn't kill us."]
[Smoger spoke frankly in the report, completely ignoring the calm face of the space marshal at that time, and then Smoker choked on the cigar in his mouth and coughed repeatedly. 】
[On the contrary, Captain Hina, who was reporting together, faced the swirling smoke calmly...]
Not only can you steal other people's Devil Fruits, but you can also exchange other people's Devil Fruits!
Giovanna Giorno is simply the nemesis of ability users...
Sengoku looked through these documents. There were documents taken from the navy's internal database, reference opinions from Dr. Bega Punk of the Naval Scientific Research Unit, and a summary of intelligence submitted by various naval intelligence agencies...
Warring States frowned, and he flipped through the pages very quickly, almost reading ten lines at a time.
After a long while, I put down a few thick stacks of documents, raised my head and rubbed my eyebrows.
Although the military operation led by the two lieutenant generals of the headquarters was approved by the Navy Marshal Kong, it was actually his request.
"..."
On this sea, roughly divided, there are roughly three forces: pirates, world government, and non-franchised countries.
World Government, needless to say.
The non-franchised country was occupied by the once-famous Rocks Pirates decades ago; after being defeated and disbanded by Garp and Roger, the original crew of Rocks: Edward Newgate, Charlotte Lingling
, Kaido, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Golden Lion Shiji... They are fighting openly and secretly with each other, and now only Newgate, Charlotte, and Kaido are left, carving up the remaining territory of Rocks, each one
According to one party.
As for the pirates... they are like a plague of locusts hovering on the sea. They are a chaotic group in themselves. They may come from either of the other two major forces, or they may be against either of the two parties.
The name Shichibukai Under the King is the seven targets that clarify the chaotic power of pirates. The Shichibukai represents the peak that pirates can reach under normal circumstances. Any pirate who wants to gain both fame and wealth,
The shortest way is to replace one of the Shichibukai, and the Shichibukai themselves need to have sufficient strength and prestige, otherwise how can they be qualified to intensify the internal strife among pirates?
What the World Government needs to do is to endorse the name of the Shichibukai and ensure that this name will not depreciate.
Therefore, the Shichibukai cannot be defeated.
At least not publicly defeated by pirates who appeared out of nowhere and were not recognized by the World Government.
If the Nine Snakes Pirates wanted to destroy them, the price they would have to pay was expected to be high. This made Sengoku think that it would be better to let them replace one of the current Shichibukai... I just wanted to give the Nine Snakes Pirates a try.
, as well as the quality of Kujo Xu Lun and Giovanna Giorno, it turned out to be like this. It was really disgraced, and Sengoku knew that he was to blame.
Picking up the information at hand, Warring States put on his coat and went out. When he found Marshal Kong, the latter was silently observing the installed stone sculpture of Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel.
Warring States pinched his forehead and sighed: "It was my mistake! Their strength far exceeded my expectations..."
"Um."
Marshal Kong looked like a strong man with dark skin and a strange hairstyle. When Warring States approached, he just responded in a deep voice.
"The relevant investigation results are out." Warring States handed over the compiled information to Marshal Kong.
"Investigation on the petrified Devil Fruit?" Marshal Kong then stopped looking at the stone sculpture of Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel. After taking the information, he slowly opened it and said without raising his head: "Tell me about it."
The Devil Fruit Illustrated Book is available in the navy's database.
There are not many Devil Fruits with the ability to petrify. The key is to screen based on the known information and compare the information from various channels, eliminate the Devil Fruits that already have hosts one by one, and try to identify the researcher who petrified the Flying Squirrel.
Which kind of devil fruit it is, so that we can judge the current condition of the flying squirrel that has become a stone sculpture.
The ultimate is life or death.
If he is dead, if he is still alive, these two different situations determine the navy's different attitude towards the Kuja Pirates.
If the petrified flying squirrel is still alive, is there any potential danger if it continues to be petrified like this? Will the longer it is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel? If it is really possible to restore the flying squirrel to its original state, what are the conditions?
?
Flipping through the information in his hand, Marshal Kong saw one piece of information about devil fruits related to petrification ability, as well as the corresponding evaluation, what the petrification ability is, whether the corresponding fruit has appeared so far, who the ability user is, etc.
.
Sengoku calmly summarized the information and finally said: "Now we can basically focus on two devil fruits, one is the sweet fruit of the superman type, and the other is the Medusa fruit of the fantasy beast type. In view of Captain Hina's report
Here, one of the Nine Snakes Pirates is a snake-shaped animal type with two wings. It is very likely that he is the flying snake in the legend of the three Gorgon sisters. Therefore, the ability possessed by Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel comes from the Medusa Fruit.
The possibility is greater. However, the possibility of a sweet fruit cannot be ruled out. Theoretically, this fruit may also have the opportunity to instantly petrify the Flying Squirrel... However, there is information that there has been a suspected sweet fruit in Mariejoia.
I have sent people to confirm the ability person, but there is no news yet."
"Celestial Dragons..." Of course Marshal Kong could hear the implication. Of course he knew that many Draconians had the hobby of feeding devil fruits to their slaves for entertainment. Just wanting to deal with the Draconians was not an easy job.
Warring States looked at the stone sculpture and said slowly: "No matter what, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel probably does what the Nine Snakes Pirates said, and there is still a possibility of resurrection."
"..." Marshal Kong was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Just now, news came from the branch that Kuzan has gone to the South China Sea."
"Kuzan?" Seng Guo was a little surprised and quickly understood, "He is looking for Giorno?"
"Maybe!" Marshal Kong said without comment.
………………
〖South China Sea, on the endless sea——〗
On the deck of the Nine Snakes pirate ship, the soldiers suddenly rubbed their arms and asked in confusion: "Why did it suddenly become cold?"
"Look, is there... a person over there?"
"No way? Is that riding a bicycle?"
"Do people in the open sea still ride bikes on the sea? It's really strange..."
The girls looked at the figure on a bicycle approaching slowly, and while talking about it, they each held their weapons.
"What happened?" Sandasonia walked out of the cabin and was shocked when she saw the man who was riding a bicycle on the sea and could already see the general appearance clearly. Under the other man's wheel, the sea was completely frozen.
, forming a thin ice road. "Devil fruit users? Can actually move on the sea like this..."
Kuzan was riding a bicycle, walking side by side with the huge Nine Snake Tower Boat, as casually as if he was riding on an outing. As he rode, he raised his head and called out: "Hello, beauties, I'm here to find someone..."
"
"A user with frozen fruit abilities..." A figure walked up to Sandasonia and looked solemnly at the man below the boat, who was riding leisurely on the sea, leaving traces of ice along the way. He grabbed the railing of the ship's side with both hands and whispered.
He said to himself, "He is the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Kuzan."
"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters?" Sanda was not that surprised. After all, they had just defeated two Lieutenant Generals of the Navy Headquarters on Magniphy Island not long ago. She suddenly approached Princess Xu Lun next to her, and strangely
Looking at the other person's face, he said doubtfully: "Princess, your face... the skin seems to have gotten worse!"
"..." Before Robin could answer, Lynch's voice came from above everyone's heads, "Looking for someone? You're probably looking for me, Mr. Lieutenant General." He didn't know when he stood at the top of the building ship.
"Roof", holding a pocket and looking down at a certain naval vice-admiral who was riding on the sea beside the ship.
The two big snakes at the bow slowly slowed down, and the extension speed of the ice surface gradually stopped. The wheels stopped turning. Kuzan dropped down on one foot, and the sea surface condensed into a large piece of ice for him to stand on.
"Unfortunately, I'm not looking for you..." Kuzan looked up, and wisps of cold air escaped from the corners of his mouth, making him look cold.
"Really!" Lin Qi looked at him from a distance.
Kuzan said: "Giobana Giorno, or should I call you... Brando Dio?"
"hehe!"
Lin Qi did not comment, then took a step forward and fell straight towards the blue pheasant below.
