Chapter 414 The Lone Red and Blackbeard

Gigantamax Magikarp, not bad...

Strange abilities have increased again.

After drawing the cards, Sig's consciousness returned to reality.

Compared to the card he drew, Sieg was more interested in achieving the accomplishment and obtaining the rank of colonel.

If field-grade officers have achievements... then what about generals, or even admirals?

The rank of colonel reminded Sieg of something.

When Zephyr invited him to join the Navy, he mentioned that he planned to form a special pursuit team.

To hunt down the remnants of the Sig Mountain bandits and become the commander of this squad, one would need at least the rank of colonel or brigadier general.

"General Zephyr, now that I have been promoted to colonel, could you allow me to specifically hunt down the remnants of the Sig Mountain bandits?" Sig asked.

Zephyr glanced at him and said expressionlessly:

"Sun Bear, you've gotten too big for your britches."

"Now is a special period for conscription. Although it is rare for someone to be promoted three ranks in a row, it does happen."

"If the navy can truly recruit enough talented individuals from all over the world, it is not impossible for them to be promoted to general or even admiral immediately."

"Compared to the new recruits who have joined the navy, although you are already a colonel, you do not yet have the ability to match your rank."

"Therefore, I suppressed the transfer order for you from above."

Zefa said, looking at Sieg with a serious expression.

"Higuma, you want to protect the world in your own way, but that's something you absolutely can't do without formidable strength."

"Next, I will personally train the navy, including you."

"Want to become a naval captain with real power? To carry out pursuit missions? Wait until you graduate from training camp!"

Zefa's eyes gradually brightened, and he stared intently at Sieg.

Having suffered consecutive defeats to his former rivals and lost the race for the marshal position, he has now focused his attention on the NEO Naval Legion and training new recruits.

Xiu Zuo's training was merely to understand the physical condition of many training camp participants, including Sig.

Ze will tailor a training plan that will push the limits of physical potential for these individuals, based on their previous performances as Sieg and others.

.......

Impel Down, the deep-sea prison.

The sixth underground level.

This place is where the most dangerous criminals on the entire sea are imprisoned. Many legendary pirates who once roamed the seas are imprisoned here.

In a solitary cell, a black-bearded man in shackles lay lazily on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"I didn't expect there to be so many living legends on this sixth floor. There are more than I anticipated."

"But...why did I get in here myself?"

Blackbeard looked around somewhat bewildered.

Compared to the others on the sixth floor, his reputation was far less prominent. It was only because of the Whitebeard Pirates and Admiral Sengoku's attention that he was given special care and imprisoned on the sixth floor.

"Young man, accept reality."

"Over the years, the only person who has managed to escape from Impel Down is that guy Shiki."

"I heard you're Whitebeard's son, so don't embarrass him."

The speaker was an elderly man with white hair and beard in the opposite cell. He was dressed in rags, his limbs were shackled, and he had a calm expression and an air of nobility.

Baron Redfield, the Lone Red, like the Golden Lion, is a legendary figure from an old era.

But the legends here are not limited to him alone.

In the next cell, a burly man was doing push-ups, his sweat practically evaporating into a cloud of mist. The shackles scraped against the floor, making a constant creaking sound, but his movements remained perfectly fluid.

This is a tough guy who has maintained his exercise routine even after years in prison.

Deeper into the darkness, there are special cells, like a small iceberg, where a great pirate is frozen...

There are more legendary figures here than Blackbeard expected.

He had imagined many times the scene of himself storming into the sixth level of Impel Down, raising his arm and calling out, which would cause the prisoners to respond in droves.

But he never expected to enter Impel Down in this way.

Lost in thought, the patrolling jailer gradually approached.

"Is he Blackbeard Teach?"

"An unlucky guy who ate a fake Angel Fruit? I heard there were many people fighting over it back then, but it turned out to be a fake..."

Several guards made fun of Teach, then casually handed him a newspaper.

This newspaper report is essentially a story about the Golden Lion eating its second fruit and causing a ruckus in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Shiki the Golden Lion! He ate a second Devil Fruit?"

After reading the report, Teach's eyes widened and he instinctively shouted out.

Is... Angel Fruit really real?

And... the performance I've dreamed of for years, the one that will shake the world, has been beaten to it by the Golden Lion?

Blackbeard was almost petrified.

He had dreamed about this for so many years, imagining it countless times in his mind, and had even thought of the lines he would use to show off.

But now, all of that is gone.

No matter how well the second user of two Devil Fruits performs, he will still be seen as an imitation of Shiki.

Teach had already made up his mind not to believe any information in that newspaper anymore.

But now, he is wavering again.

He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, unsure whether to be happy or frustrated.

He's confirmed to have the Angel Fruit, but he's no longer the only person in the world with two Devil Fruit abilities.

He's already trapped in Impel Down. Even if the Angel Fruit really exists, how could he possibly go out and steal it?

Teach clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, muttering something to himself, on the verge of going crazy.

For an ambitious man like him, this was the greatest torment.

At the same time, his shout had caused many people in the darkness to quietly open their eyes.

"Golden Lion? A user of two Devil Fruits?"

"It seems the sea outside has changed a lot..."

Among the prisoners, Redfield, the lone red, reacted differently; his attention was not on the newspaper in Teach's hand, but on Teach himself.

In this world, there exist a very small number of people who are born with extremely powerful Observation Haki.

Among the best, such as Queen Otohime of Fishman Island, is able to hear the thoughts of others without any training.

Redfield was among them.

In his excitement, Blackbeard Teach lost his composure and allowed Redfield to overhear some unusual thoughts.

"Their thoughts... are really interesting."

"It seems that Whitebeard has taken in a very special son."

Chapter 415 The Use of Shadow Clone Techniques

Naval Headquarters Training Camp.

It all started on the day Sieg and Zephyr had their conversation.

A training program far more rigorous than before has begun.

Unlike the unified training that Xiu Zuo had given them, Ze Fa developed individualized training plans for each of them based on their previous performance.

Basic training includes: 5000 push-ups, 200 rope climbing rounds, 200 laps of running, combat training, etc.

"Speed ​​up! You're tired after this little bit of training? Don't make me laugh."

"Is your ideal of protecting the world in your own way just empty talk?"

"In this great pirate era, you can't get anywhere without strength. If you want to achieve your ideals and your revenge, then work hard!"

When Siegfried was training, Zephyr was like a devil coach, completely different from how easygoing he was in private.

These training sessions were all designed by Zephyr himself, pushing Sieg's physical limits while also giving him time to catch his breath.

After several training sessions, Sieg was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Clearly, Sieg's physical strength was almost completely exhausted.

Of course, Sieg's actual situation is better than it appears.

Inside Sig's body, the Emperor Engine once again beat silently, continuously providing Sig with power.

Whew...
