People in One Piece are so good-looking

To eat or not to eat?

This is indeed a problem.

Noxia had also obtained several Devil Fruits before, but neither the Rusty Fruit nor the several animal-type fruits that were later seized from Du Galileo were too fond of them.

But the fluttering fruit of the Golden Lion is quite different.

Apart from anything else, being able to escape gravity and fly freely in the sky was quite tempting to him.

Flying is always a dream engraved in human genes.

only……

"The curse of the devil fruit is no joke."

Nuo Xia stared at the spiral pattern fruit in front of him. The excitement at the beginning gradually dissipated, and he gradually returned to his normal calmness.

"After eating the fruit, it means that the sea and the Sea Tower Stone will become my nemesis from now on..."

He is now considered to be the strongest player in the world's first echelon.

The main source of combat power is the physical body that is comparable to a monster, and the superb swordsmanship that can control the secret of wind.

Therefore, even if the Piaopiao Fruit can be developed to a level close to that of a golden lion, it will not actually add much to his combat power, but if he eats it, it will directly create two more weaknesses.

From then on, his powerful naval combat ability, which can breathe and swim freely in the deep sea, and like the fishmen, can take advantage of the sea surface, will also be greatly reduced.

It's like Superman, who was originally invincible with his physical body, just added a deadly shield of kryptonite.

If he had just traveled to the pirate world and encountered the Piaopiao Fruit, he would definitely eat it without hesitation.

but now……

But it’s a bit uneconomical.

"never mind."

Nuo Xia is not a person who likes to worry about gains and losses. In just ten seconds, he made a decision and put the Piao Piao Fruit back into the backpack column.

Then he looked in the direction of home, his eyes flickering slightly.

Although he has no interest in eating the Piao Piao Fruit, there is still no doubt about the preciousness of the fruit. It would be a waste to keep it in the backpack.

After all, people have selfish motives.

This fruit was the trophy that Nuo Xia had worked so hard to defeat the Golden Lion, and it took several months to hatch. He would definitely not hand it over like this.

So Nuo Xia's new plan at this moment is to give it to his family around him.

His parents were naturally out of the question. They were both at retirement age, and they had shown little interest in Devil Fruits when he first returned to the East China Sea to visit relatives.

That's really not interesting at all, unlike a certain Qi.

As for the three wives.

Bellemere is already a user with the Rust Fruit ability, and Shia also ate the Imitation Fruit two years ago, so naturally she passed immediately.

All that's left is the little rabbit.

"I just don't know if the Brigadier wants to eat it..."

Nuo Xia pinched her chin and muttered to herself, "If you are willing, this fruit is quite suitable for her."

No matter how good the Devil Fruit is, it must be used in the hands of a strong person, otherwise it will be a waste like the exploding fruit eaten by the booger man.

And with Little Rabbit's strength and potential, the Piao Piao Fruit will naturally not be buried in her hands.

They can even complement each other, making Peach Rabbit's strength increase faster than in the original timeline.

Perhaps at the time of the top war, the Navy Headquarters will have another true general-level combat capability.

Instead of waiting until two years after the top, the strength of Mootora was still inferior to that of the general, forcing the Navy Headquarters to recruit troops from all over the world and use two outsiders like Fujitora and Midori.

"Well, that's it."

Nuo Xia clapped his hands with his left fist and hurried home immediately. After a brief shower, he went straight to Taotu's office.

Since resigning at the end of last year and resigning as base commander of the first Xihai branch, Taotu has been stationed at the headquarters like Nuo Xia, but his military rank is still that of major general.

He has enough strength and military exploits, but his qualifications are a threshold that cannot be crossed. According to what was revealed above, it will take at least one or two years for Taotu to be promoted to the intermediate level.

"But Brigadier General, you have been promoted to Major General for almost two years, right? Why is your qualifications not enough? I was promoted to Major General more than half a year later than you. Isn't this also a Lieutenant General?"

At that time, Nuo Xia looked puzzled as to why he was fighting for Taotu.

What a double standard, it's not fair at all.

As a result, after saying that, the little rabbit got angrily beaten with a pink fist——

Damn, Versailles, right? Are your perverted resume and military exploits limited by your age and seniority?

Not to mention being promoted to major general in the same year, if he hadn't graduated early, it wouldn't be unusual to be promoted to lieutenant general as soon as he was awarded the title, okay?

————-

ten minutes later.

In Peach Rabbit's office.

"Piao Piao Fruit?"

As expected, when Nuo Xia took out the fruit, even the calm-tempered Taotu was startled, and his beautiful eyes were full of surprise:

"Isn't this the fruit of the Golden Lion? Why is it in your hand?"

Nuo Xia shrugged and answered truthfully about his general experience.

Just like when he revealed the secret of the life card to Bellemere.

For Nuo Xia, except for the existence of the system, he planned to take it to the coffin board without revealing it to anyone.

There is no need to hide the rest of the things from those closest to you.

"This sword of yours can deprive the defeated person of the fruit's ability and hatch a devil fruit again?"

It took Taotu a long time to barely digest this extremely impactful information. After a moment of confusion, she frowned and said thoughtfully, "In this case, wouldn't the ability users in the deep sea prison be... …”

"There is no need to keep it in prison? Instead, it can become a stable source of fruit for the Navy?"

Nuo Xia couldn't help but hugged her neck and kissed her fair cheek hard, "You are indeed a brigadier general! You and I thought of it together."

Taotu pushed away his right hand that was moving downwards and glared at him angrily.

"But it's not that simple."

Nuo Xia sat down on the sofa opposite her desk with a smile, crossed her legs, "The only people I can deprive of devil fruits are those with abilities who have been defeated by me, and every time this ability is activated, there must be at least three intervals between them." months."

Even if he goes to the Deep Sea Prison to pick up goods with the cooling CD stuck, it will only be four per year, but how many ability users are imprisoned there?

It’s just a drop in the bucket, but those with the ability to pass must still pass.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want the outside world to know that I have this ability."

Nuo Xia poured herself a cup of tea and pointed to the ceiling, "Including the people above."

"Why?"

Taotu frowned slightly, "General of the Warring States Period, Marshal He Kong, are both bright and honest people. Even if they knew about it, they would not miss you..."

"Of course they don't, but people higher up... don't know."

Nuo Xia shrugged his shoulders and his tone was profound.

In fact, what he was most worried about was Immortal Immortal, whose head and tail were missing, but Peach Rabbit understood that he was the Five Old Stars and other high-level officials of the world government.

However, different paths lead to the same destination, and she can suddenly understand Nuo Xia's state of mind.

This kind of strange ability that can shake the world order and break through the cognitive scope of ordinary people is really best not to spread for the time being.

The ordinary man is not guilty of the crime of harboring the sword. Perhaps the officials of the World Government will not be too full to anger Nuoxia by asking for the sword, but there is no guarantee that those stupid Celestial Dragons will not develop any covetous intentions.

"Give me a few days to think about it."

Taotu pondered for a moment, still a little hesitant, "I'm not sure now whether I should eat this fruit..."

Apparently.

Considering the weaknesses and disadvantages of the Devil Fruit, Taotu, who specializes in swordsmanship, also has similar concerns to Noxia.

"Well, it's up to you."

Nuo Xia shrugged indifferently and didn't bother to put the Piaopiao Fruit back into his backpack. He drank tea and turned his eyes to the pile of letterheads on the coffee table:

"Why are there so many replies to wedding invitations?"

"Roughly the same."

Taotu was still staring at the fluttering fruit in front of him in a daze. Hearing this, he had a headache. He rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"Not only the replies to me, but also to you, and to that girl Xia, are all here. The postman knows how to save trouble, and sent them all to my office...I haven't even had time to open them, and prepare them." Let’s talk about it at home tonight…”

"I don't know how many people can come."

Nuo Xia smiled, and happened to be free, so he opened it and started reading.

His wedding will be held in a month. Before that, naturally, invitations will be sent out to all the relatives and friends.

However, due to the special nature of the naval profession, it is basically no problem for those who are stationed in the headquarters to find time to participate, but it is a bit difficult for those scattered in other branches.

so.

It's said to be an invitation, but it's actually more like a notice.

In these replies, the vast majority apologized that they could not be there in person, but would send sincere blessings at the end of the letter.

"Well, this letter is from Porusalino. The old guy can't come as expected, but what does it mean to say that he is tired due to his busy schedule? There are so many suitable reasons, why can't he just change it?"

"Sakaski also wrote back. Gee, I never expected that a guy who is usually so upright and serious could write so many kinds of blessings..."

"Kuzan said he could come. Well, no surprise. This guy has been staying at the G1 branch for almost two months, and he is about to be transferred back to the headquarters..."

Taotu has put away the Piaopiao Fruit and continues to read official documents behind the desk.

Listening to this guy sitting in front of the sofa with his legs crossed and talking, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Time passes.

The unknown little recruit at the beginning has become a dazzling big shot in the headquarters in a blink of an eye.

And after two years, he and I were finally about to enter the sacred hall of marriage...

suddenly.

The sound of musings was interrupted, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent. Taotu subconsciously looked up, only to see Nuo Xia holding a letter he had just opened. The more he looked down, the more ugly his face became.

"What's wrong?"

Nuo Xia did not answer immediately, but read the reply to the end, then handed it over silently, frowning at the same time, and paced back and forth in front of the window.

The letter was sent from the G6 branch.

It was supposed to be a reply written by Xi Liu himself, but the name of this letter was signed by a female major general named Aisha.

This is an old man in his sixties. He once served as the captain of his ship when Xiliu was on an internship mission. After retiring to the second line last year, he happened to be a neighbor of Xiliu who came to take up the post. He was very fond of the latter. There is care.

In the letter, the old man described Xiliu's recent experience in detail.

About two months ago, when Nuo Xia had just defeated the Golden Lion, Xiliu was successfully promoted from colonel to colonel due to his outstanding military exploits. At the same time, his fiancée, who was returning home to visit relatives, also received news that her parents had agreed to the two. Good news about marriage.

This should have been a double blessing.

But half a month later, what Xiliu waited for was not his fiancée embarking on her return journey, but a piece of bad news that was difficult to accept.

The hometown of her fiancée, the medic girl she met during her internship, was slaughtered by a pirate group called Black Star.

When the navy arrived urgently, they only saw ruins that had been burned by fire and turned into white ground.

Such a huge blow made Shiliu overwhelmed with rage. Without even asking for instructions from his superiors, he grabbed a speedboat at the dock and went out to sea alone, searching for traces of the Black Star Pirates.

As a result, no one was found half a month later, but they saw the fate of these pirates in the newspaper.

It was said that he had been defeated by another major general from the G2 branch, and the captain Black Star, as well as the important cadres under his command, were all escorted to Impel Down City.

For ordinary people, this is already a big revenge, but how could Shiliu be willing to do so.

He immediately returned to the G6 branch, admitted his mistake and accepted the criticism and punishment. When his superiors' anger subsided, he offered to escort the nearest group of prisoners from the G6 branch and send them to Impel Down City, in order to atone for his sins.

The superior thought he had stepped out of the shadows and readily agreed.

But who would have expected.

As soon as Shiliu arrived at Impel Down City, he took advantage of the gap between the handover work between the two sides and secretly knocked out the jailer, sneaked into the third underground floor, and killed all the criminals of the Black Star Pirates who were imprisoned here.

Such a huge movement shocked the entire three underground floors. During the fight, a prison was destroyed. Those criminals who tried to escape while taking advantage of the chaos, Shiliu, who was red-eyed after being killed, were also chopped in half on the spot.

In a furious state, Shiliu's strength was far beyond ordinary, and even the jailer beasts could not compete with him. The jailers who gathered and came also had nothing to do with him, but many people were injured.

In the end, the riot lasted for more than ten minutes, until Magellan, the deputy director, arrived and finally suppressed it.

Let me tell you in advance, if there is no knife on Shiliu’s side, it will be a happy ending~
