Chapter Ninety-Six: Return to the Navy Headquarters

"It's back......"

Looking at the Navy Headquarters in front of him, Ron stopped practicing.

From leaving the Navy Headquarters to returning, almost a month has passed, and although he has not achieved significant results in attacking in this month, he has comprehended the second-order magic of the guardian system, which can be said to have greatly increased the flexibility of combat.

Before leaving, he had a very low chance of winning against any lieutenant general in his headquarters, and he could only say that his attack power was stronger than that of most lieutenant generals.

And now, with the Six Staff Light Prison and the Elven Ball, plus the enchanted Elven Wand, there are not many lieutenant generals in the headquarters who can beat him.

The military merit required to be promoted to lieutenant general is 150,000.

With Ron's current strength, it is true that he can arrest more pirates and be promoted to lieutenant general as soon as he graduates, but it is not so necessary for him.

On the one hand, there are no achievements to be achieved directly after graduation, and on the other hand, the achievements that can be obtained in the Navy Headquarters are also seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and if you want to obtain achievement points more freely, it is naturally best to go to the branch after graduation.

Ron was still a little hesitant to stay in the headquarters or go to the branch before, but now there is no hesitation, his current strength can retreat even if Doflamingo attacks.

Set foot in the harbor of the Navy Headquarters.

Ron was thinking about his next plan when his eyes suddenly flashed and he sighed.

He clearly felt that his soul had a slight shock, and in this shock, his spiritual power began to increase, about 2 points.

"This feeling is...... Nami broke through? ”

Ron quickly found the source of the improvement of mental power, and it was because of the imprint resonance brought by Nami's side, looking at this, Nami's total mental power should have increased to 30 points.

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but smack his lips.

If I'm not mistaken, Nami has 20 points of spiritual power until now, and it's only been more than a month, and it's only been a little over a month, and it's increased by 10 points of spiritual power in a month and a half, breaking through a small realm?!

Although there is a reason why the initial cultivation improvement speed will be relatively fast, Nami's cultivation speed is also a bit too fast, and he has increased by 3 or 4 points in the first month, which is less than half of Nami's improvement!

And Ron estimated that Nami would not devote all her time to cultivation, and it was likely that she would meditate for a few hours a day, and then she would have 30 points of spiritual power?

All right.

Ron sighed, it seemed that Nami was indeed a genius.

But unfortunately, he is a little more genius, and now his total mental power is close to 120 points.

……

Back at the Navy headquarters, Ron went straight to the office and did a few things.

The first thing to do is to submit an early graduation application.

The second thing is to spend 30,000 military merits to exchange for animal-based devil fruits.

The third thing is to consume 25,000 military merits to exchange for a large piece of irregular sea floor stone.

It is true that there is an exchange of sea floor stones, including rough stones.

The processing of Hailou Stone is extremely difficult, much more difficult than mining, especially things like Hailou Stone Bullets, except for Wano Country, only Vegapunk can make them.

Therefore, the value of the regular, processed Hailou stone is very high, especially the weapons of the Hailou stone, and the irregular Hailou stone rough stone that has not been processed is much cheaper.

For Ron, whether or not there are rules doesn't matter much, he only cares about the overall size.

Therefore, the Hailou stone exchanged for 25,000 points of military merit is also very huge, in the form of an irregular stone, if it is cut into a spherical shape, the diameter can be about one meter.

The sea building stone inlaid at the bottom of the warship is just bigger than this.

Although I don't know what Ron is doing with such a large piece of Hailou Stone Rough Stone, not too many people care, because there are often people who exchange it, after all, Hailou Stone is extremely difficult to destroy with its fruit ability, and it can be said to be the best target for those with ability.

No matter how you fight, you don't have to worry about breaking it.

Because graduating early requires a process, so he can't start the graduation assessment immediately, so Ron returned to his residence after redeeming the Hailou Stone and the Devil Fruit.

……

In the center of a cleaned room.

An irregular sea building stone with a diameter of about one meter is placed there.

Ron was standing not far away, he didn't look at the sea tower stone, but was squinting his eyes, staring thoughtfully at an animal-based devil fruit that looked like a banana in his hand.

Ron once snatched a Devil Fruit from the Don Quixote family, and killed Señor for this purpose, making a feud with the Don Quixote family.

That time, Ron had also studied the Devil Fruit from a spiritual perspective, but he could only perceive that the Devil Fruit contained some kind of energy and curse, but he could not perceive anything clearer.

And now.

The spiritual power has reached 100 points, has the mode of God, and the observation ability has reached the subtle level of being able to spy on the cellular level, and then observing the Devil Fruit, he has already seen more completely different things.

After he raised his observation to the extreme, he could vaguely observe that the Devil Fruit seemed to be made of 'runes'!

These runes are not the runes that Ron understands, but they seem to be very rough, or the embodiment of the simplest rules, and the most important point is that there is not only one rune, but a complex composition of countless ones, all of which are connected to each other, and are a whole!

It's like looking at the most primitive parts of life.

"These runes ...... It doesn't seem to be an eternal rune, but it seems to have some characteristics of eternity, but it's a little too complicated. ”

Ron stared at the observation, and after observing for a long time, his brow furrowed.

The number of runes contained in this Devil Fruit was no less than a hundred, each of which seemed rough and incomprehensible, and it was impossible to understand why it could form an animal-type Devil Fruit after being hybridized, unless he could give him a few more animal-based ones to study.

"No matter, remember it first."

Sensing that his soul was getting more and more 'hungry' and wanted to devour the energy contained in this Devil Fruit, Ron shook his head slightly, no longer exploring deeply, but carefully memorized the runes that were constructed into this Devil Fruit, and then no longer suppressed the desire to devour his soul.

Just like last time, his spirit instantly extended to the outside of his body, opening his bloody mouth like a demon, devouring the devil fruit in one gulp, shattering all those runes in it, crushing and shattering, squeezing out all the energy and quickly absorbing it.

Zizi!

Ron casually threw the rest away along with the curse.

The cursed part is also a rune, and this part of the rune Ron pondered, maybe it could be a dark curse rune, but it was also very rough and obscure.

The curse rune and the overall rune are also combined, and when the whole rune is broken, this part of the curse rune cannot exist on its own, and it quickly shatters and disappears into the void, revealing the exact same scene as the last time it devoured the Devil Fruit.
