This will have to wait until they have made great contributions in the West Sea Strategy and the Spark Plan and have a higher status and greater strength.

Even Lazili and others were lucky enough to catch up with Lind when he was distributing the devil fruit and entered Lind's eyes, which gave them a chance to take off.

For others who were born in the same period as Lazili but are less talented, or who have similar talents but did not catch up with the good times, it is estimated that how long they will have to waste time.

You can only rely on your own talents and some fixed resources to slowly improve your strength and stand out.

If one possesses the strength of a quasi-general or even general, and defeats a squad leader, one can definitely enter the core circle easily.

Otherwise, he could only wait for the opportunity with Lazili and others, and then take off with the wind.

Chapter 171 Borsalino, Dorag, Sakaski

While the captains of the Rocks Pirates were establishing pirate groups and fighting for territory in the New World, the navy naturally would not be idle either.

Because the navy had already been successfully expanded once in order to suppress the riots in the world, there naturally wasn't a large number of promotions like in the original work.

Only Crane became the Chief of the Navy's Staff and Garp was awarded the title of Hero of the Navy. There were no major changes for the others.

However, the World Government is sometimes quite generous, or abides by the rules, and the navy will definitely receive sufficient rewards for their meritorious service.

Especially when Uranus attacked Rocks before, he also directly included Garp in the attack range, which made him need to be appeased even more.

So the World Government was very generous and took out two Devil Fruits, both of which were natural-type, namely the Sparkle Fruit and the Storm Fruit.

The Storm Fruit was directly given to Garp, who could eat it himself or give it to his children, or sell it to improve his life.

The Pika Pika Nomi is also handed over to the navy for distribution, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be given to Luffy's second uncle Kizaru.

Speaking of which, the Pikachu Fruit was actually found directly from Rocks' body. I don't know what the structure of the devil fruit is. Even with such a powerful attack, the Pikachu Fruit was completely unharmed.

Everyone who saw the Shining Fruit at that time was stunned.

At the same time, he was also glad that Rocks had not yet distributed this devil fruit, otherwise there would be another difficult opponent.

"Borsalino, Dragon, you two should hurry up and practice. Get familiar with the Devil Fruit abilities as soon as possible. This sea needs your strength."

In Marinford, Steel Bone Sora handed two devil fruits to Kizaru and Dragon Queen, who were only about 20 years old, patted their shoulders and said with a smile.

"Yes, Marshal, we will never let you down!"

Kizaru and Dragon looked at the devil fruits in their hands, their faces flushed, and they spoke excitedly.

Today, the two are still young men or teenagers with pure minds. They do not have all kinds of problems in the future, but are full of passion to defend justice.

"Very good, very energetic. I look forward to seeing the day when you become generals. I will personally award you medals then!"

Looking at the two people who were full of energy and spirit, Steel Bone Sora nodded with satisfaction.

"Go down and train well!"

"Yes, General!"

On the other side, on Aland Island, the Dean of the Academy of Sciences, Asa, was reporting to Lind.

"Master Asa, is there still no progress in the devil fruit peeling technology?" Lind asked in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, Boss. The peeling of a devil fruit involves too many things. It's too complicated. With the strength of our scientists at the Oran Academy of Sciences, it will probably take a lot of time to make a breakthrough."

"Perhaps we can recruit some of the leading figures from MADS. They have been engaged in research related to devil fruits and are much more professional than us."

Asa knew why Lind asked this. After all, there was a general of the World Government's army and a user of the magma fruit ability locked up in his own laboratory. Who wouldn't be jealous of him?

"I'll let Da Kun and Morgans pay attention to it. You guys continue your research and take your time." Linde rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache.

After seeing Asa off, Lind began to think quietly in the office alone.

He is now very confused about how to deal with Akagi. It will probably take a long time to perfect his own devil fruit peeling technology. Even by the time Luffy goes out to sea, he may not be able to make a breakthrough.

It is really painful to be able to only look at such a powerful devil fruit but not get it.

If I had known this earlier, I would have given it directly to Rocks and let him extract it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so conflicted.

Now, as for Chihu, Linde is in a dilemma whether to kill him or not.

Kill it. It would be too embarrassing if you end up cultivating a powerful opponent. If you don't kill it, just keeping it alive will also be an uncertain factor.

"I hope Axel and the others can give me some help." Lind said to himself.

As the master of the magma fruit, Lind firmly believes in the fate between the magma fruit and Sakaski.

He has now sent people to the North Sea to look for Sakaski, hoping to find an opportunity to recruit him directly.

Lind even had a bold idea, which was to adopt Sakaski, Barrett and others as his adopted sons, just like Yang Lin and Li Keyong.

The only thing to consider is that Sakaski seems to be only a few years younger than himself, and Sakaski probably won't be able to accept it.

But I can let Axel come. When Axel followed me, he was already in his 30s. Now he is in his s and still alone.

It is good to have an adopted son who is talented and strong-willed. Otherwise, it would be terrible if there is no one to take care of him when he is old.

......

In the North Sea, Axel came to an ordinary town based on Da Kun's information.

According to Lind's order before going to sea, he came to the North Sea to adopt a boy named Sakaski, who was not only talented but also tough.

And according to Lind, Sakaski is also the destined master of the magma fruit. Axel has naturally heard of this statement.

After all, the Lind Legion has a very close relationship with the Flower Kingdom. Zhang Liang, Zhu Feng, Hott, and even Lind are all examples before us.

Just be aware that although Sakaski is excellent, it may be troublesome to subdue him.

After all, a kid who wears a hat with "Justice" written on it every day and is a typical navy fan will definitely not be interested in pirates like himself, and may even hate them.

Therefore, Axel did not act rashly, but lurked in the small town, slowly looking for opportunities.

Although there was Lind's request to adopt Sakaski, Axel himself was also very excited. Who doesn't want an excellent child?

Axel secretly decided in his heart that if Sakaski could really satisfy him, then he would do his best to train Sakaski and let him take over his position when he was old.

Become the new captain of the First Squadron and commander of the Military Affairs Academy.

Thinking of this, Axel thought of Barrett, who was younger than Sakaski. He was a true genius, whose talent was unique in this life.

Although Barrett is only about 10 years old, his strength is no less than some weaker cadres in the legion, or even surpasses Axel and others who have just arrived at Beehive Island.

It's so terrifying, and I don't know if Sakaski can compete with him for the position of military leader.

Even though he hasn't accepted Sakaski yet, Axel is already thinking about Sakaski's future path.

With mixed feelings, Axel came to a tavern, ordered a glass of wine, and began to wait quietly for the boy he was looking for to enter the tavern.

Chapter 172 Do you want to go with me to see the wider world?

Just as Axel ordered his drinks, a voice rang in his ears.

"Hey, Sakaski, you're here. How was your harvest today?"

As a tall, resolute-looking young man walked into the tavern, the attention of the entire tavern was drawn to him, and many people greeted the young man enthusiastically.

Axel also looked over with the crowd's gaze, and after just a few glances, he was very satisfied with it.

Sakaski is now wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, a hat with the word "Justice" written on it, a long knife on his back, his chest casually exposed, revealing his strong muscles, and a fierce aura gushing out of him.

“A glass of Åland Island vodka!”

Sakaski casually sat next to Axel and spoke to the bartender.

"Hey, Sakaski, you've made a fortune. You captured that pirate group. It looks like the bounty is quite high!"

As soon as Sakaski finished speaking, a bearded young man next to him said with a smile.

Vodka is originally produced in Aland Island. It is one of the most famous and luxurious wines in the world, and it is also the most expensive wine in this pub.

After all, customs and preferences for wine vary from place to place. For example, in the West Sea, especially in the Kingdom of Flowers, the most popular wine is Wuliangye, which is as famous as vodka and its price is comparable to gold.

In the North Sea, especially in pubs like this one, vodka and whiskey are obviously more popular.

Especially the vodka produced in Aland Island. I heard that the raw materials and craftsmanship are the best in the world. Not only does it taste great, it can also improve strength.

I don’t know what the price is in the country of origin of Aland Island, but in this pub, each bottle costs one million Baileys!

It is the treasure of the tavern that the tavern owner acquired recently, and no one has ever used it in this tavern.

The young man who was speaking was quite envious of Sakaski and felt that he might not be able to drink a bottle in his lifetime.

"Okay, Mr. Sakaski, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you now!" The bartender didn't care what the young man thought. He was very happy anyway. This was such a huge commission that even the address was changed.

The dog-licking look on his face made the guests drinking around him secretly despise him in their hearts.

When Axel heard the conversation in the tavern, he was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the wine from Orland Island would be sold here and at such a high price.

You have to know that what I drank on Orland Island was the more expensive Wuliangye. I basically only drank vodka, a common liquor, at open-air banquets.

Shaking his head secretly, Axel felt that he had found a good way to win Sakaski's favor.

However, other people don't know what Axel is thinking, let alone why the owner of this pub regards the vodka produced in Åland Island as the treasure of the pub.

It's not just because of customs and habits, the more important reason is that better wine is unaffordable and cannot be sold.

Amid the envious looks of the people around him, Sakaski opened the 500 ml bottle of vodka and carefully poured it into a wine glass.

The strong aroma of wine instantly filled the entire tavern. Except for Axel, everyone, including Sakaski, secretly swallowed their saliva.

As Sakaski drank one-fifth of the vodka in the glass in one breath, he felt his whole body was burning like flames and he couldn't help but groan.

"Great!" Sakaski said loudly, then took another big gulp, his face flushed.

As the wine went down his throat, in addition to the enjoyment of the taste, Sakaski also felt a warm current flowing through his body.

It seems that the rumors are true. The vodka produced in Aland Island can actually improve strength. Sakaski was very shocked and felt that if he had enough vodka, he would definitely become a strong man.

It's a pity that it's too expensive. Sakaski thought of the horrible price of vodka, and he didn't have to lose. Even the nobles couldn't drink this kind of wine casually.

Perhaps only the legendary King of Oran, the richest man in the world, could drink vodka as if it were water, Sakaski guessed in his heart.

At the age of seventeen, Sakaski, who was still working as a bounty hunter in his hometown, was quite different from the future feared admiral of the navy.

It's not just about strength, but more about knowledge. Even though he can learn about the world through the World Economic News Agency, Sakaski is ultimately just a civilian in an ordinary small town.

Looking at Sakaski's ever-changing expression, Axel roughly guessed what Sakaski was thinking and became more confident about his plan.

"Kid, you don't have to look like you can't afford it. This vodka is expensive, but it only costs 3 Baileys in Orlando."
