The gourmet among pirates

As for Ace's development of Devil Fruit abilities, he can just think of more ideas.

The development of devil fruit abilities, in addition to the understanding of one's own abilities, actually relies largely on the development of one's imagination.

In terms of imagination, Mo Lin, who has accumulated a whole world, has never been afraid of anyone.

The novels, anime, movies, and TV series from his previous life are not free to watch.

Mo Lin didn't believe that with his help, when Ace grew up, he could be even worse than in the original work.

Looking at Molin who was thinking, Akainu didn't say anything to continue his persuasion.

His previous advice to Ace and the advice he gave to Mo Lin just now were all based on the fact that Ace is a natural-type user with the Burning Fruit ability.

Those with the natural-type Burning Fruit ability are absolutely powerful among natural-type devil fruits.

If Ace can fully grow up, in a few decades, the navy may have another natural admiral.

However, after all, Ace is Molin's student, and Akainu will not interfere too much with Molin's decision.

In fact, Akainu is actually more interested in Maureen than Ace.

After all, Ace is just a seed that may grow into a general-level combat power in the future, while Molin is already a general-level combatant.

After mentioning Ace a few more words.

Akainu took out a box of cigars from his chest pocket and wanted to take one out and hand it to Morin.

"Beihai's cloud cigar? Good stuff!"

Before Akainu could share the cigarettes, Molin took the initiative to take the cigarette case from Akainu's hand, took one out and put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed!

"It smells so good! It is indeed Beihai's top cloud cigar!"

With an expression of enjoyment and a nod to appreciate it, Maureen put the cigar box into his lined pocket.

Akainu: "······"

"By the way, General Akainu, what did you want to say just now?"

[Forget it, a box of cigars, I don’t care... what the hell! This is the top-quality Beihai Yunwu cigar. I myself can’t smoke more than once a year. Damn it, I shouldn't have taken out the cigar. 】

Akainu's heart twitched when he thought of the half box of cigars that Mo Lin had taken away.

However, he was too embarrassed to speak and asked Maureen to return the box of cigars.

Akainu took a deep puff of the cigar, suppressed the feeling of heartache, and then exhaled a long puff of smoke and said to Molin: "Forget it, I want to know what you are thinking. A man like you, Why were you willing to stay in the East China Sea and be unknown? If it weren't for the Golden Lion, you might still be just a small naval colonel."

"Hey, hey, he is a commodore, not a captain! And at that time, my reputation as an iron-blooded colonel was very famous in the East China Sea, right?"

After correcting Akainu, Morin slapped Ace on the head hard. When Ace was beaten for no reason, he was really furious.

Morin borrowed the anger from Ace's head and lit the cloud cigar in his hand.

"Is there any difference between a captain and a commodore? With your ability, let alone admiral, at least strive for it. You will definitely not be able to get the title of candidate for admiral."

call!

After blowing out a smoke ring, Molin flicked the cigar in his hand and said, "Admiral? What a tempting target. It's a pity that this was never what I wanted."

"Then what do you want, what is your ambition?" Akainu stared into Morin's eyes and asked seriously.

"me?"

Mo Lin looked up at the white clouds in the sky, "What I want is actually very simple. Is to protect myself and care about others, and at the same time, earn enough to support myself. I just don't let myself go hungry. That's it." The feeling of panic in my heart is something I never want to experience again.”

A salary to support yourself.

At first, apart from protecting himself and caring about people, Akainu subconsciously didn't believe it when he heard that all Morin wanted was a salary to support himself and not let him go hungry.

Who would believe that a young man who was so young and powerful enough to rival a naval admiral wanted just to prevent himself from starving?

But when Akainu recalled what he had witnessed in the past two days, Morin's terrifying appetite that was like a bottomless pit, he couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

With Molin's terrifying appetite, it seems that his seemingly simple wish... is not that simple either.

Thinking of Morin's appetite, Akainu asked in confusion: "By the way, what's going on with your horrible appetite? Is it a sequelae of your fruit ability?"

Fruit ability?

Morin was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the [Earth Explosion Star] and other methods he showed that day were probably all Devil Fruit abilities in the eyes of Akainu and others!

"Sequelae? Maybe! But this is not a sequela of Devil Fruit ability, but a sequela of my escaping a catastrophe a few years ago!"

"Five years ago, ever since I was lucky enough to survive the battle at the border of the Ouikot Kingdom, my appetite has become bigger and bigger, and my strength has also become stronger and stronger. I don't know Is it because I eat more and have sufficient nutrition?”

"As for the Devil Fruit, I got it later."

After finding a rational reason for his terrifying appetite and becoming stronger, Mo Lin puffed up the clouds again.

On the contrary, Akainu on the side was lost in thought because of the reason given by Morin.

Under the stimulation of a life-and-death crisis, has the body undergone some kind of transformation, or awakened some kind of powerful physique?

After Akainu thought for a moment, he chose to believe it.

There is a precedent for this kind of thing in this world.

For example, BIGMOM's "Thinking".

·······

While Morin and Akainu were smoking cigars and watching Ace's sweaty training on the training field.

The Holy Land of Mary Joan in the middle.

One of the Five Old Stars hung up the phone with an ugly expression.

"A bunch of idiots, are those guys all idiots?"

Looking at his companion who was yelling in anger, a five-old star said in surprise: "What's wrong? Did something bad happen again?"

The five old star who hung up the phone said with a gloomy face:

"They are not just those useless idiots. Not long after the incident in Rogge Town, those guys couldn't help but ran to the West Sea again. Now, they were directly captured by the BIGMOM pirates. I guess It won’t be long before the BIGMOM pirates will use the Celestial Dragons to blackmail us into releasing Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Opela.”

Gu</span>Hmm! ! !

As soon as the words are finished.

The five old stars who had not paid much attention to the gas here before heard this and looked over with frowns.

The Celestial Dragons are the royal family that rules the world.

Although over the course of hundreds of years, some idiots and trash will inevitably be born among the Celestial Dragon family in the Holy Land of Mariejoia.

But in order to maintain the supreme dominance of the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons, no matter how idiotic those guys are, the Five Old Stars, who are also members of the Celestial Dragons, cannot let them be kidnapped by pirates.

A five-old star wearing a loose bathrobe and holding a samurai sword frowned and said: "First, the Golden Lion buried more than a dozen Celestial Dragons in the East China Sea, and now the BIGMOM pirates hijacked several Celestial Dragons. When , is the protective power of the Tianlong people so weak?"

"Moreover, the Tianlong people are having troubles one after another. Haven't you realized the seriousness of the matter? This shows that the authority of our world government is gradually declining. Now some pirates no longer take the Tianlong people in their eyes, and even regard them as Use it as a weight to negotiate terms with the World Government. If this continues, where will the authority of the World Government lie? Will the participating countries of the World Government still be as fearful and convinced of us as before?"

After Wu Laoxing, who was holding a katana, pointedly pointed out the seriousness of this matter.

The faces of the other Five Old Stars turned gloomy.

As the person in charge of the World Government, the Five Old Stars who stand at the pinnacle of power are undoubtedly the representatives of the immediate winners. The authority of the World Government has been damaged, and the majesty of the Celestial Dragons has been selected. To a certain extent, so is it. It's slapping them in the face.

After a moment of silence, one of the five old stars said: "I have always been responsible for arranging and dispatching the Tianlong guards. In any case, this matter is my dereliction of duty. I will pay attention to it next. As for daring to hijack The BIGMOM pirates of the Celestial Dragons, I suggest that after rescuing the hijacked Celestial Dragons, destroy them with the power of thunder. It can also be used to scare the monkeys and warn the pirates who are becoming more and more lawless."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

······

Just as the five old stars expected, the BIGMOM pirates who captured the Celestial Dragons quickly contacted the Five Old Stars through some channels and proposed to exchange the Celestial Dragons for Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Opela deal.

Regarding BIGMOM's unreasonable request, the five old stars who answered the phone were very angry, but in the end they agreed to the BIGMOM Pirates' request with a look of resentment.

After hanging up the phone, the five-old star who was angry a second ago suddenly regained his composure.

He said to the other Five Old Stars in the room: "Next, follow the plan!"

······

at the same time.

The Navy Headquarters has already made a detailed battle plan and is improving the details step by step. They are also preparing to call Kizaru and Akainu to bring the two cadres of the BIGMOM Pirates back to the Navy Headquarters' Sengoku and crane.

Suddenly I received a call from Wulaoxing.

"what?"

"The combat plan is cancelled, and we have to hand over the two cadres of the BIGMOM pirates. This is impossible. Our navy does not agree!"

"... The BIGMOM pirates captured the Celestial Dragon and used it as a threat in exchange for the two cadres of the BIGMOM pirates..."

"·······I see!"

Among the naval staff, Sengoku hung up the phone feebly, with a gloomy look on his face.

The think tanks and staff officers who had been having heated discussions before among the staff also fell silent.

Although they did not hear clearly what was said on the phone call in the Warring States Period, from just a few words, these staff officers also judged that they had worked hard for days and nights and stayed up late to formulate the battle plan... ····It’s ruined!

"Ugh!"

After sighing, an old staff officer in his fifties stood up, relaxed his muscles and said: "Chief of Staff He, since the battle plan has been cancelled, then I will go back to rest with my old bones! As people get older, their bodies I can’t bear it anymore, I can’t bear the torment of staying up late like this.”

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest first!"

After saying that, He turned to the other members of the staff and said, "You should go back and rest first! If there are any changes, I will send someone to call you."

After He spoke, the staff officers with dark circles on their faces also yawned and stood up to leave.

In the past, because of the opportunity to get close to the big pirates like BIGMOM Pirates who were dangerous to one side, even if they were mentally exhausted, everyone could grit their teeth and check. However, after losing this goal that supported them as a driving force, the over-brained staff officers began to fall apart one by one. So sleepy.

After everyone left, He stood up, walked to Sengoku and sat down and said, "Did the Tianlong people make any trouble again?"

Warring States took off his eyes, closed them, pinched his eyebrows, and slowly told He the content of the conversation between Wulaoxing and himself.

After finishing speaking, Crane sighed.

"Are you going to capture the Celestial Dragons to threaten the World Government and release them? I didn't expect that the BIGMOM Pirates could think of such a way to solve this crisis. I didn't take these factors into account. It seems that I made a miscalculation!"

"Don't blame yourself, Crane." Sengoku opened his eyes again and said calmly: "Who would have thought that after the BIGMOM pirates were defeated in the East China Sea, they actually split into two groups and returned to the New World with great fanfare to gather their pirates. , secretly went to the West Sea all the way, and kidnapped several "noble" world nobles!"

"Now it seems that the high-profile actions of the BIGMOM pirates after returning to the new world were probably to cover up the sudden disappearance of some of their cadres!"

"Forget it! I don't want to anymore." Sengoku sighed, "Such a good opportunity to destroy the BIGMOM pirates was ruined by those Tianlong bastards who failed to succeed and failed. I will bear it if I think about it anymore. I can’t help but let that bastard Garp beat up some Celestial Dragons!”

"Are you asking Garp to beat up the Celestial Dragons? Hahaha, I think Garp would be happy to hear what you said. If you hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to do it a long time ago." He chuckled lightly. vocal channel.

"As for the two Tianlong cadres in the East China Sea, let Kizaru take them to Marigioa. In fact, this matter is not a bad thing!"

Ok?

Hearing this, Warring States couldn't help but glance at He with confusion.

"Hahaha, capture the Celestial Dragons in exchange for two pirates. This move of the BIGMOM Pirates has definitely touched the bottom line of the World Government. To some extent, it has shaken the foundation of the World Government's authority. Just wait. ! After the Celestial Dragons are replaced, the World Government will definitely take action."

After listening to He's analysis, Zeng Guo's eyes lit up.

Yup!

On this matter!

The World Government is definitely more annoyed and more concerned than the Navy.

Before Warring States could finish digesting it, He continued:

"and······"
