Late at night, Navy Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

"What?!"

Akainu stood up in shock, ignoring the image, and staring straight ahead with his eyes.

After a moment he woke up, nodded and said, "I know, I'll tell them the news." ”

With that, Akainu quickly put down the phone and pulled up his cloak.

"Ms. Crane, please take care of the rest, I have something to go out."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Tsuru, who was handling official business in the marshal's office together, frowned and asked.

The marshal has the power but does not mean that he has the ability to do everything, so except for some taboo matters that must be dealt with alone, most of the time these trivial official duties need the advice of her, the chief of staff.

Except for real major matters, there is no arbitrary power, and the position of "Chief of the General Staff of the Navy Headquarters" is actually similar to that of half a marshal, so it is not inappropriate for Akainu to appoint her to handle these documents.

This is also the reason for Crane's special status in the navy, even if you exclude Karp, Sengoku, Zefa and other elders who have a lot of relationship with her, and then remove the three major generals of the year and replace the rest of them, it will not make any difference.

In the future battle with Imu, it may be necessary for Tsuru to preside over and stabilize the rear.

Thinking of this, Akainu slowed down and walked to the door, turned his head and replied, "Orrick's fruit ability has disappeared, and according to observation, his body is aging rapidly. ”

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

In the office, Tsuru watched him leave in a daze, and then his pupils shrank.

"Orrick's fruit abilities...... Gone?!! ”

Just listening to the second half of the sentence, in fact, it is not too lethal.

There are many fruits in this world that can make people age rapidly, and what many people don't know is that her washing fruit has such an effect.

Simply washing away evil thoughts, or cleaning away the corpse oil and red fire left behind by the embers of the "Flame Calamity", such abilities that require incomplete target defense to be activated, are not enough to support the myth in her heart as a female soldier.

Not to mention, more than ten years ago, she chased Doflamingo all over the sea, and the latter was afraid of her other means besides being afraid that she would wash away her evil thoughts and make herself less like herself.

After all, if you can't catch it, what can you do to wash away evil thoughts?

What reason does Doflamingo have to avoid her?

However, the first half of the sentence made the crane creepy.

"Unexpectedly...... Can it be?!! ”

……

When it comes to Devil Fruits, there is a set of "well-known" rules on the sea.

This kind of law is not authoritatively certified by anyone, but has been tested over time, and everyone finds the pattern from the existing data, and then passes it on by word of mouth.

Two of the most famous are these.

For one, a person can only eat one Devil Fruit in his life, and if he eats the second one, he will explode and die.

Second, there is only one Devil Fruit at a time, and the same fruit will not appear until he dies.

In addition, there are the third and fourth points, etc., which are all familiar to everyone, like the shot put should fall downward, no one has studied it carefully, but it has been ......recognized by everyone.

One of them goes like this.

"Devil fruits will only inherit the ability from the person who eats it first, and once they eat it, they will never disappear until they die."

Until death!

What a strong shackle it is!

Today, however, that common sense has been shattered.

There was a man who had eaten a Devil Fruit and was now incapacitated...... And in a living state, he quickly grew old.

The reason why Akainu left was because he had no one available to him in the holy land at the moment.

The yellow ape was thrown out by Ron to target Vegapunk, and to deal with such a serious thing as Im, with that person's character, joining in will only make no effort, but it is better to be out of sight and out of mind.

The pheasant only had half a month, but he didn't count the return and return in half a month, so he was in a hurry, and immediately gathered people to set off after the meeting ended that day. Fortunately, he had already prepared for it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch up with it.

With Ron at the head of the Holy Land, there are only two of the three generals left, and both of them have missions.

At present, the new general is still in contention, just like the reason why Ron took the throne back then, Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin do not have the capital to convince everyone, so they cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Walking quickly to the scientific unit, the soldier in charge of guarding the gate looked at him strangely, and then hurriedly saluted.

"Marshal!"

"Hmm...... How many soldiers are there in the headquarters of the scientific troops? ”

Akainu nodded in response and asked.

"Report! With the addition of the internal patrol squad, there are 350 people in total! ”

After all, it is the headquarters of the scientific troops in the Navy Headquarters, and it is not a den of thieves like Chambord back then, and it is already a large scale to have 350 people stationed.

All the panting parts of some remote branches in the four seas add up, and they can't even make up 300 people.

Akainu also understood this, but fortunately there were enough manpower, so he quickly said: "Pass my order, immediately block the entrance and exit, everyone is not allowed to leave without my permission, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

As a hawk, Akainu is not so gentle.

But there's no doubt that it works.

As soon as the words "kill or kill" came out, the soldiers at the door first widened their eyes in shock, and then stood up and saluted.

"Yes!!"

By the time the deputy commander of the scientific troops, a gray-haired white coat, came to Akainu, it was already a few minutes later.

Looking at the red dog with a blue face at the gate, he leaned in and asked in a low voice.

"Marshal, what happened?"

The two years of the scientific army have also been unfavorable, and they have a total of two scientific research masters, Vegapunk and M. Caesar Courant.

As a result, Caesar was arrested and executed for some unspeakable reason, and it was taken by Canglong, the current head of the Holy Land, himself; Shortly before that, Vegapunk betrayed the Holy Land and ordered the pacifists to massacre the people......

This moment directly stunned the group of old scholars in the scientific army, and the eldest and second were all wolves, what should we do?

Compared to CP0, the science force is actually on the verge of disbanding.

Akainu could see what he was worried about, frowned, and said, "It's none of your business, I'm here to find something." ”

After that, he looked at the tea dolphin and the group that rushed to hear the news and asked, "No one left?" ”

"Report! No! ”

The tea dolphin solemnly reported, and then his face was huddled together, and he said with a hippie smile: "Since the night of Vegapunk's betrayal, General Yellow Ape asked me to send someone to keep an eye on them, and all those who took the opportunity to leave with an excuse in the past half a month have been put in prison and waiting to be released." ”

"Hmph, I'm going to play tricks!"

Akainu twitched and snorted.

In any case, this matter is a dereliction of duty, and the military does not need an excuse, not to mention that he is still a marshal.

Fortunately, the yellow ape is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he knew that the scientific army would be settled one day after the autumn, so he prepared in advance.

What the hell did you learn from Ron!

Akainu sneered, and then looked at the old pedant: "I don't have time to deal with your affairs now, go and find out all the research materials about Devil Fruits for me." ”

"Especially the experiments that Vegapunk and Caesar Courant did back then, find out all of them!"

When I heard it, I was just looking for information The old pedant breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how many unsavory experiments those two had done in the Holy Land, they were members of the scientific army after all, so most of the experimental data and research data were backed up, and the Devil Fruit was naturally the same.

However, the thought of making the red dog so exciting made the old pedant sweat profusely.

What the hell, if you can't find it, it's over!

He quickly turned around and ran inward in a hurry: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and find it!" ”
