"I'm so nostalgic, we've been away from the headquarters for almost two months!" Simmons sighed as he looked at the serious headquarters.

Marin Vando was still the same, the whole town was at peace, there seemed to be nothing left in the square except for a few anchored warships, and if I had to say, the occasional sound of naval training could be heard.

"Alright, let's separate here and meet at the port tomorrow morning." Serge patted Simmons on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the town.

Originally, he was going to go to the Warring States, but he thought that the Warring States might be promoted to a general in recent years, and he estimated that there were a lot of things at hand, but in the end he didn't bother him.

Walking alone in the town of the military port, Searle's tall body can be regarded as a high-profile thing, and people who come and go look at Searle as if they are staring at rare animals.

Taking a bunch of keys out of his trouser pocket, Serge walked to the tall room not far away.

"There has been no one to live in for two months, and the dust is estimated to be stuffed."

"Click!"

"Long time no see, little brother Serge."

"That's good, little brother Searle."

"It's getting more and more like a navy, Searle!"

"Anyway, you're so lucky, you just encountered such a good task when you took office."

When I opened the door, I was greeted by many familiar friends, including Sengoku, Ah He, Stanford, and even the elegant Zefa.

"Hehaha, how do you know I'm back." Serge said with joy: "It's been two months, everyone." ”

Searle leaned down and hugged the group of friends one by one, and finally stopped on Sengoku.

"Yo, you look good, Brother Warring States."

"You're not bad, you're doing a beautiful job." Sengoku said with relief.

"It's a private party now, so I can't talk about work anymore." Lieutenant General Ah He moved lightly, walked between the two and smiled.

After looking around, Serge said with a strange expression: "Anyway, how did you get in, isn't the key always in my hand?" Could it be that ... ”

"We didn't jump out of the window, but Ah He has a spare key." Karp slammed his fist into Searle's stomach.

"Huh? Sister He? ”

"I didn't say it was the only key when I gave you the key." Ah He smiled and groaned.

"Haha, that's good, otherwise I would have thought I was going to consider living in another place."

It doesn't matter how many keys you have, there is nothing left in the house except for some old furniture. Besides, this is Marinfando, and I believe that there will never be such a thing as stealing.

"When are you going to go back?" Sengoku asked.

In essence, Searle was neither a general of the headquarters nor a general of the branch, but an officer who was transferred abroad.

As an officer transferred abroad, it is impossible to stay in the headquarters for a long time, and this time Searle is debriefing, maybe he will have to leave in the near future.

"Maybe I'll be back to G3 tomorrow, and as you know, that old man Thurgunn hasn't been in the fort all this time, and if you don't go back sooner, G3 will be in chaos." Searle scratched the back of his head, a look of helplessness between his words.

Speaking of Segurne, everyone looked at each other and smiled, it was really a headache for an old man.

Searle took a look around, and the lowest rank among them were all major generals, and he was still in the lieutenant colonel's ink, which made Searle feel pressured.

"Yo Stanford, when did you get promoted?" Serge tapped Stanford's shoulder and said, "I met your subordinates in the harbor and trained them by the way." ”

"If you do the math, it should be shortly after you left last time." Stanford was speechless and said, "Is it Darra?" Ever since I told him some of your stories, I'm going to challenge you. ”

"Haha, we had a good communication, and in the end the relationship was not bad." Thinking of Darla's blue nose and swollen face, Serge couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh yes, this is the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book that I promised you last time." Stanford smiled and handed the book to Searle.

"What? Little Brother Ser is also planning to eat Devil Fruits? Don't you giants like to depend on fruit? Sengoku said curiously.

The Giants are naturally physically superior to ordinary people, and they have always had a disdainful attitude towards Devil Fruits, let alone eating them.

"Seriously, I haven't seen a Devil Fruit so far, but I've seen a lot of powerful people, and as for the Illustrated Book, it's mainly to understand the characteristics of certain fruits." Searle casually flipped the page, pointed to the fruit in front of him and said: "After all, among the pirates you will face in the future, I am afraid that there will be no fewer capable people, so it is better to deal with it if you have an understanding in advance." ”

Some Devil Fruits' abilities are really terrifying, such as childlike fruits, ghost fruits, and lucky fruits, which are all abilities that cannot be measured by strength.

If you rush forward rashly without knowing the other party's ability, you will definitely be very passive.

The page that Searle turned over happened to be the thunder fruit of the natural system.

"Well, it's a thunder fruit, if it is developed properly, it will be a well-deserved natural disaster." Sengoku sighed: "It's a pity that this fruit hasn't appeared for hundreds of years, it's a pity, if we can join the navy, then we will have one more top-level combat power." ”

In the original book, the Thunder Fruit is the fruit of Anilu, the god of the Sky Island. The thunder ability has been developed by him to a very deep level, if it weren't for the protagonist's ability to be more restrained, otherwise it wouldn't be the same level of combat power at all.

"Although the natural fruit is strong, I personally prefer the superhuman or animal line." Searle flipped to the next page.

Except for the dark fruit, the common feature of the natural system is that there is no substance, and in the absence of domineering, it can almost be said that it is an invincible existence. Generally speaking, those with natural abilities have the potential to become strong.

Although the natural system is recognized as the strongest line in the world, some fruits are developed to a certain extent, and they are definitely not inferior to the natural system.

For example, the phantom beast system, which is rarer than the natural system, and the individual superhuman fruits. Compared with those natural systems with a high starting point, Searle is more optimistic about the fruits of the superhuman line with a variety of abilities.

"Superman? Then you should think about it. "Warring States glanced at the fruit on the illustrated book ~ the fruit of speed.

There are only bad people, and there is no bad ability. No one would have thought that the fruit of the illustrated book would create a powerful character, which is a later story.

"I'll talk about this then, at present, I want to practice the power of domineering, and if I encounter someone with natural ability in the future, I can deal with it calmly." Serge closed the illustrated book and stared at some of them expectantly: "You should have a way to practice!" ”

"I can, but I can't teach anyone." Karp shook his arm, indicating that he couldn't teach.

"I'm going to the New World in a while, and there's no way around it." Sengoku also shook his head and said.

Everyone's eyes focused on Zefa, who helplessly lifted his glasses and said, "I do have a little experience in this, so let's do tell you in detail." ”

……

Everyone chatted and chatted, and in a blink of an eye it was dark, and after having dinner together, they all left Serre's house.

Early in the morning, Serge arrived early in the office of the Sri Lankan marshal.

At this time, there were already many familiar faces in the office, including the General Staff.

"In view of Lieutenant Colonel Searle's outstanding performance in this mission to capture the World Economic Newspaper, the headquarters has decided to appoint you as a colonel and at the same time as the temporary commander of the G3 branch of the Navy."

"This is a promotion order in this incident." Sri Lanka handed Serre a stack of letters of appointment, full of anticipation: "I hope you will uphold justice and maintain the peace of the sea!" ”

By the time Searle arrived at the port, Simmons and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"Didn't you say that you would meet in the morning? What are you doing so early? Serge stared at his subordinates suspiciously.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, come early and leave early, I can't wait to see the rewards given to us by the headquarters." Simmons stared eagerly at the letter of appointment in Searle's hand.

Almost all of the other personnel involved in this mission, except for Jacob, have been promoted to some degree. For example, Simmons was promoted from captain to major, Searle was promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel, and the headquarters also approved the application to rebuild the khaki fortress, and now Jacob's long-standing wish has been fulfilled.
