Trampled to death!
Old Edward tried to persuade Li Zhong from various angles, using both emotional and logical appeals, from the perspective of interests, and from the perspective of future development, but Li Zhong did not accept any of them.
In Li Zhong's opinion, if there were insects crawling in front of him, it would be fine if he didn't have the ability to deal with them. Being able to bend and stretch is also one of the qualities of a strong person. But since he had the ability to run over them, it would be too cowardly to pretend that he didn't see it!
After using all his eloquence and talking until he was hoarse with no results, old Edward gave up, but not completely.
He began to persuade from another direction.
"Li Zhong, after becoming a high-ranking naval official, you will have to choose your own 'justice'. With your strength, I think you will become a high-ranking naval official very quickly." Old Edward had already overestimated Li Zhong's power.
But I didn't expect that I underestimated it.
Old Edward originally thought that if Li Zhong went out and captured a few big pirates, he would promote him and make some arrangements. Then, Li Zhong could join the elite training camp of the Navy Headquarters as a naval rookie and take the most orthodox path to promotion.
But now, with the title of the King of Terror in the North Sea becoming more and more powerful, this road is obviously no longer enough to carry Li Zhong's power.
His strength has obviously surpassed the 'rookie' by more than one level!
According to his contacts with the Navy Headquarters, it seems that they are planning to skip the training camp and let Li Zhong learn directly from a certain lieutenant general.
"Don't underestimate this 'justice'. It's like a flag. People in the navy who share the same aspirations as you will be attracted by this flag and gradually gather around you. When you become powerful, you will be a 'big shot' in the navy and have the strength to compete for the position of the three admirals!"
"The positions of the three generals are not obtained by just having power. You also need to have a large number of supporters in the army to be elected." Old Edward summed up what he knew and said to Li Zhong.
The current world situation has not taken a drastic turn for the worse, so the appointment process for the three generals is still quite sophisticated.
"If you ever come into conflict with the World Government, don't just say you don't like them."
"Just tell everyone directly that you are doing this for 'justice'!"
Chapter 279: Strange Superhuman Fruit
Reputation is a very important thing.
For the same thing, there is a huge difference between having a legitimate reason or not.
Otherwise, some inhuman things would not burn, kill and loot while waving the banner of xx common prosperity.
As long as you have a good name, even if you have done something wrong, there will be people who will come to defend you.
And if it meets the wishes of the above, you may even get unexpected protection.
In response to Old Edward's proposal, Li Zhong said, "Okay, okay, let's do it this way."
He no longer wanted to dwell on this matter. He had time, so he used it to practice. Perhaps his strength would increase a bit.
Compared to this, Li Zhong was more concerned about the matter that old Edward had just mentioned.
"You just said that the higher-ups are going to skip the elite training camp and let me study directly with a certain lieutenant general. Is this information accurate? Do you know which lieutenant general it is?"
There are also differences between lieutenant generals. There are giant lieutenant generals who can be beaten to death by Li Zhong with a single blow, and there are also some masters whom he is not yet his opponent.
Li Zhong doesn't want to be around the weak.
"There is some accuracy, but I'm not sure who it is specifically." Old Edward also had a glorious past. He was a classmate of the current Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Kong, in the elite training camp.
Over the years, he has maintained contact with his old classmates at the Naval Headquarters.
In the past, the gap in status between the two sides was too big. All Old Edward could do was to have a drink with the other party and reminisce about the past when the other party came to Beihai for retirement or travel. He could never even think of asking anyone to do something for him.
But with the good card of Li Zhong, things are completely different.
Some people who were difficult to invite in the past, old Edward can now get close to them and get first-hand information.
"...Okay, I got it." Li Zhong pondered for a moment, then replied.
Hang up.
Li Zhong began his practice time again.
During the time he was fighting pirates in the North Sea, Li Zhong also encountered several Devil Fruit users.
One superhuman type and five animal types.
When it comes to Devil Fruit users, the Navy's policy has always been to capture them alive if possible.
This is to prevent the devil fruit from being reborn in other corners of the ocean after his death, adding new vitality to the pirates.
Before it was handed over to the navy and sent to Pushu City, Li Zhong naturally studied it carefully.
During this period, in order to study the devil fruit, Li Zhong gave up his practice in armament Haki, six styles, and other aspects, and devoted himself to the study of observation Haki.
Due to the lack of scientific research equipment at hand, if he wanted to conduct more sophisticated research, he could only start with the Observation Haki.
After concentrating on the research of Observation Haki, Li Zhong has achieved some results.
But even though his observation Haki has improved a lot, Li Zhong still cannot crack the mystery of the devil fruit's ability.
Compared with previous research, Li Zhong can now detect the internal structure of the body of Devil Fruit users more carefully.
The research on users with animal-type devil fruit abilities is pretty good. Li Zhong can now check piece by piece in their DNA to find out which segment gave them this magical ability.
This is a long task and it will probably take a long time to get results, but from zero to one, it is still a huge progress.
In addition, through the cell structure detection and self-optimization of the Devil Fruit user, Li Zhong's physical fitness has been enhanced by 30% on the original basis!
This result, which ordinary people may only achieve after years of practice, only takes a moment for Li Zhong.
"What a pity..." But Li Zhong was still not satisfied with this performance.
Before, the user of the Gazelle Fruit alone increased Li Zhong's power by 20%, while the five Animal-type Devil Fruit users only provided a total of 30%.
The gap during this period was not only due to the difference in strength between Captain Leib and these people, but there was another important reason.
Marginal utility!
To put it in the most understandable way, if you spend 1000 yuan to buy a fully functional mobile phone, the performance may only be improved by 5000% compared to the mobile phone you bought for 10 yuan, but you have to spend 10% more for this 400% improvement!
The same is true for the power boost that the Animal-type Devil Fruit brings to Li Zhong. Without going deeper into the DNA life factor level, the further it goes, the less boost it can bring to Li Zhong.
As for the superhuman devil fruit, Li Zhong released his observation Haki to the extreme, but he still couldn't find out where the user of the "Iron Nail Fruit" produced the iron nails from.
Of course, the place here does not refer to the distance between hands and feet.
But at the microscopic atomic and molecular level.
Those iron nails seemed to appear out of thin air, making Li Zhong scratch his head.
In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that his observation Haki was not strong enough.
"I still need to continue to practice hard."
And just as Li Zhong continued to practice hard.
The New World flamingo is moving quickly towards another of his destroyed nests.
Following closely behind the flamingo was a white-haired old man.
She is none other than the vice admiral Crane, who is in charge of all matters related to Don Quixote, a pirate with a special identity!
As a close comrade of Vice Admiral Garp and contemporary Navy Admiral Sengoku, her strength is unquestionable. She is also known for her sophisticated wisdom and is trusted by her superiors.
So the hot potato of Don Quixote was also handed over to her.
"Sure enough, it went to the North Sea." Looking at the information passed to him by Zhan Guo, the gray-haired He nodded.
Ever since the news came that the illegal arms trade in the North Sea had been cracked down on, she knew that Don Quixote Doflamingo would definitely not sit idly by.
So many pirates died in the North Sea, and everyone knows that it must be very dangerous there. Doflamingo would not let his subordinates take risks knowing this, and he would definitely choose to go there himself.
"It's such a pity." He said with some emotion.
It's a pity that she doesn't know the search methods of the new navy man named Li Zhong in the intelligence, otherwise she wouldn't have to follow Doflamingo and eat dust.
If she knew Doflamingo's exact location, she could just intercept and kill him halfway!
The net is set up so that it will be difficult for him to escape!
After putting away the tip, He thought for a moment and picked up the receiver of the Den Den Mushi.
Soon after, a connection sound was heard from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Zhan Guo, regarding the newcomer in the North Sea, has it not been decided yet who to send?" He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"I just happened to be going to Beihai. How about leaving that newcomer to me?"
Chapter 280 Anger and Fear
The North Sea is not a peaceful sea. No, to be precise, both the four seas and the Grand Route are full of war and chaos.
This chaos started a long time ago.
And with the Pirate King's 'capture' a few years ago, the sea has been peaceful for a while.
But it was only a short-lived false peace. As the Pirate King Gol D. Roger shouted on the execution platform in his hometown: "Want my treasure? Go to the sea to find it. I put everything in the world there!"
This peace, which had only lasted a short time, was completely shattered. Countless people went out to sea out of greed or dreams, and a more chaotic and dark era of pirates began!
As a pirate who witnessed the execution of the Pirate King with his own eyes, Doflamingo was actually only slightly interested in One Piece. He wanted something else.
In order to realize Doflamingo's ambition, money, power and authority are indispensable.
Strength is the foundation of everything.
Doflamingo, who has already learned the dual-color domineering and awakened his devil fruit, already has this foundation.
The powerful Doflamingo has also made some plans, and it will soon be time for countries around the world to contribute heavenly gold.
Celestial Gold is the wealth that the member states of the World Government must regularly hand over to the Celestial Dragons. In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the World Government, countless countries have been on the verge of collapse because they could not raise the high cost of Celestial Gold, and had to sadly withdraw from becoming member states.
Some countries, in order to collect enough gold from the sky, thought of "making the people suffer more", and eventually they ended up destroying their own country through suffering.
This is a huge fortune. Donquixote Doflamingo plans to use his special identity as a former Celestial Dragon to plunder the Heavenly Gold!
In fact, Doflamingo didn't dare to touch this special thing casually. If he wasn't a former Celestial Dragon, he would be dead if he dared to touch the Celestial Gold!
Doflamingo didn't plan to move either. He wanted to use this as a threat to exchange the position of Shichibukai from the navy in order to carry out his next plan.
There is a way out for the problem of strength and power, and the only thing left is money.
Doflamingo also planned well in this regard.
Looting is the fastest way to make money in the world...or so the layman might think.
But when the wealth reaches a certain level, you will find that the wealth that pirates can obtain from looting is just that, and is far less profitable than doing business, especially the underground business that is very profitable!
The cost of buying and selling rare slaves might be only a few million Baileys, but the transaction could be sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Baileys! Those brain-dead Tianlong people never blink when spending money.
The arms trade is also a business that can make a lot of money, and it makes money faster than robbery!
The most important thing is to be stable enough.
After all, you can't guarantee that everyone you rob has money, right?
Just when he was in the New World, preparing for his next plan after becoming the top Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The future scene planned by Doflamingo collapsed at this moment!
The Don Quixote family's arms business in the North Sea was smashed to pieces. Doflamingo lost an important source of income and suffered heavy losses!
Whether it was because of a traitor in the family or because of that king, the enraged Doflamingo planned to return to the North Sea.
It may be that the main force of the Don Quixote family has left Beihai for too long, so that the people of Beihai have forgotten that the Don Quixote family is the real terror of Beihai!
Doflamingo now wants to help the people of the North Sea recall the 'happy' days in the past!
...That's what he originally thought.
But after crossing the Grand Route and returning to the North Sea, he found that something seemed wrong.
"so quiet……"
Rogue Town is the only way for the East China Sea pirates to go to Upside Down Mountain and enter the Grand Line.
And in Beihai, there are naturally similar places.
Normally, as one of the few places for pirates to replenish supplies before entering the Grand Line, this town should be bustling with many pirates.
But at this moment, it is extremely depressed.
Doflamingo narrowed his eyes under his red sunglasses.
Standing at the bow, he exerted a little force with his feet, crossed the coastline, and landed at the port of the town.
At this moment, the port is lacking staff to take care of it, and some places are already a little dusty.
He walked into the town.
