Chapter 20: Probation, Naval Secrets

The next morning, Ron felt panicked and rolled over with his eyes closed. Then he "snapped" and fell on the slate.

This moment made him wake up immediately, and when he opened his eyes and looked at the cold ground that was close at hand, he recalled the events of last night, and suddenly muttered, "Karp old bastard...... You're not going to throw me on the ground, are you? ”

Two overloaded thunder punches a day, coupled with the hard work of fighting Xiuzuo, was a great challenge for Ron, and in the end, he passed out due to physical exhaustion.

So...... I just slept on the floor all night?

Count you ruthless!

Thinking viciously, Ron rolled over and got up, but when he looked around, he looked confused.

"I'll ...... What's going on?! Where is this? ”

He was in a cramped cell of less than ten square meters, and the only light was a torch on the wall, surrounded by steel cables, with gray stone bars in between...... Not surprisingly, that thing is called Hailou Stone.

And Ron found himself not outside the cell, but inside.

I should be there, I shouldn't be here......

"This is the Navy Headquarters Prison, which is dedicated to the detention of ordinary criminals and pirates who are not sent to Advance City......"

The old voice came from outside, and Ron turned his head to see a purple-haired old man with a strong body, knotted muscles, and a physique that was not inferior to Karp. He shouldered the righteous man, and his hands were on his chest...... Notably, his right hand was cut off shoulder-length, and that hand was a wooden prosthetic at the moment.

This person is a former admiral, the current chief instructor of the new barracks, and the "black wrist" Zefa!

Ron was startled for a second at his presence, and then his attention was drawn to the other person...... In another cell behind Zefa, Karp was looking at him with the eyes of a life-and-death enemy, biting at the doughnut like a vent.

Ron was happy!

"Yo, isn't this Lieutenant General Karp? You always come in and experience life?! ”

"Hiss......"

Suddenly, Karp inhaled for a toothache, but did not reply, but sneered and cracked his knuckles.

Gordon chuckled inwardly......

Ron swallowed, giving up on the idea of continuing to tease Karp. Then he saluted Zefa: "Chief Instructor Zefa! ”

"Well, don't be nervous, feel free."

Bringing in a stool to sit, Zefa lit a cigar, took a puff, and said to Ron through the cell, "Do you know why you're locked up?" ”

"Uh......"

Recalling what happened last night, Ron buttoned his face and smirked, "Ha, ha, ha, I don't know what's going on!" ”

"Don't play dumb for me!"

Zefa's old face suddenly darkened, and he roared angrily: "According to the regulations of this department, no one is allowed to do anything in any unauthorized place unless it is an emergency!" Once there is a violator, they will be severely punished! ”

There is such a rule?!

Ron looked at Zefa in shock, the expression on his face not fake. Then, his eyes widened and he said to Karp in disbelief: "Lieutenant General Karp, you yin me?!" ”

"His salary is gone this year!"

Zefa waved his hand to block the scolding battle that was about to break out between the two, and then said, "Do you know what will happen to you? ”

What will happen?

Karp, as a vice admiral of the headquarters, a naval hero, and a noble status, even he was deducted from his salary for a year, and he is a newcomer, I am afraid that he will not ......

"Expel me from the Navy?"

Ron glared at Zefa in horror, pointing to his nose.

No way?

I've only been joining for a day?!

Seeing that Ron did know the seriousness of the problem, the anger in Zefa's eyes eased slightly, and he snorted coldly and said, "According to the rules, this is indeed the case!" However, you have not been registered in the new recruit list of the Ministry, and you are considered an outsider, and the Navy is not qualified to open your ......."

I haven't joined, so naturally I didn't say anything about being expelled.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the trivial matter of registration, which he had been ignoring, would become the most important lifesaver at this moment.

"But ......"

Zefa's words changed, making Ron immediately stand up straight: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Zefa: "......"

I haven't said anything?

You promise a fart!

Wait a minute......

What did I just want to say?

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Zefa picked up the interrupted train of thought: "Considering that you don't know about this, the marshal is extrajudicial and has decided to keep you in the headquarters for observation...... If you stop causing trouble and make amends, then the door of the Navy is still open to you! ”

"Got it?!"

After hearing this, Ron's eyes flashed, and he thought quickly.

Yes, that's realistic...... The Navy believes in the theory of "strangling danger in the cradle", and the reason why most of the pirates who were imprisoned in the forbidden area of the city LV.6 were not executed was not only to show their strength and deter pirates, but also because once their fruit abilities were spread and obtained by other pirates, the sea would be calm.

Now, if he expelled a person with the ability of the Thunder Fruit from the navy and released him to the sea, once he didn't want to run away and become a pirate one day, the navy would regret it.

In addition, the thunder fruit is powerful and is known as the "strongest natural system...... This time the problem is indeed serious, but compared to the future of a Thunder Fruit ability, the Navy can make concessions.

It is the so-called reciprocating peach and taking what each other needs.

Holding the key point, Ron let go of the apprehension in his heart and replied with a smile: "Understood! ”

……

Ron soon left, and now that he had decided to "stay on probation", there was no point in imprisoning a "civilian".

When Ron was sent away, Karp sat in his cell and looked at Zefa.

"That kid's body...... You've found out too, right? ”

"yes, that kind of self-healing ability, it's not like a human ......"

Zefa took a drag on his cigar and remembered what he had witnessed when he arrived last night......

Hearing that Ron's arm was scorched by developing a new move, and fearing that he would be destroyed like himself, Zefa brought a medical team of dozens of people with him.

But before the doctor could confirm the diagnosis, under the stunned gaze of a group of people, those charred black blood shells fell off, revealing the new pink muscles and skin underneath.

After that, the colonel officer in charge of the test was quickly summoned for questioning in the afternoon, and after confirming that Ron had also used the same move in the afternoon, although it was not as powerful as the night, but it also caused heavy physical damage, Karp and the others believed in a fact.

Ron was born with terrifying healing powers...... It has nothing to do with his Thunder Fruit!

In the afternoon, the Colonel's instructor in charge of the test thought that Ron's injuries were not serious, and that he himself had indeed recovered in a few moments, and thought that it was okay, so he did not report it separately.

But they are different from each other, they stand higher and see more accurately!

Therefore, it can be directly concluded that Ron's body is different from ordinary people!

Moreover......

"His body ...... It's a black hole! Why is that?! ”

Zefa's smoking frequency increased a little, and for a while the smoke was filled.

Last night, after making sure Ron was okay, the doctor concocted some nutrient solution and infused it to Ron to replenish his missing nutrients. But as soon as those things entered the veins, Ron's muscles spasmed all over his body, and he digested and absorbed them in the blink of an eye.

After repeated attempts a few times, the aura on Ron's body rose and strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye, if the strength of his aura after the injury was 10, then it became 11 at that time, in ...... In just half an hour!

It wasn't until he unconsciously burped that his body stopped absorbing like a black hole and became normal.

…… This is no longer explained by excellence and genius, he is a monster!

What Ron didn't know was that even though the nutrients in the food of One Piece World were extremely easily absorbed, they were still physically limited.

Like him, the unreasonable and unlimited absorption and devouring caused him to grow at an astonishing rate, and he was simply an anomaly!

To use an analogy......

Others are not physically able to hold more energy and are blasted, broken and then standing, so as to break through the original upper limit. And he seems to be born without an upper limit, and he can always turn nutrients into nutrients.

This ability reminds Karp of something that happened decades ago......

"He fell from the sky, and the Thunder Fruit came from an empty island kingdom called Bika......"

On the ship, Karp asks about Ron's past...... An adventurer who travels everywhere, this is the identity that Ron has arranged for himself. Later, a backwash current occurred, and he and his ship were washed up on the island. After a few years, it was not easy to get the thunder fruit, but when testing his ability, he accidentally stumbled and fell into Qinghai.

The number of backlash currents in this book is very small, but it does exist, and more of it is unrecorded and circulated among the people, so it is impossible to verify which time Ron was washed up on the Sky Island.

"The kingdom called Bika again?"

Zefa frowned silently, obviously remembering something as well.

"But even if it's that thing, the effect is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Zefa, as one of the insiders, has a close relationship with Karp. I have regretted it more than once, why is it not that Karp is not afraid of death and eats it. But even if it was that kind of fruit, Karp was not so perverted back then.

"I don't know......"

Karp bites on the doughnut and shrugs.

"Didn't the birdman say that the effects of the medicine could be stacked? I also want to use this to fool us into taking revenge on the sky island above us...... So maybe Ron was stupid enough to eat a lot of it...... But at the moment, that kid hasn't realized his peculiarity, and it is estimated that even he himself doesn't know what he ate......"

At this, Karp smirked.

"After all, his body is different from ordinary people, maybe he feels good about himself and thinks everything is normal......"

"Hahaha, that's ......"

Hearing this, the corners of Zefa's mouth curled, flicked the cigar, watched the ashes of Mars drift in the air, and smiled slowly: "If the effects of the medicine can really be stacked, then Ron's training needs to be adjusted accordingly...... A year's effective medicinal power cannot be wasted. ”

In this regard, Karp rarely waited for it and looked at Zefa seriously.

"Then, I'll leave everything to you, Zefa......"

"Nonsense! Don't worry about it, squat in your big prison! ”

Zefa sneered, shook off his big slug, and strode out.
