It started from eating the Houkai Fruit in the Pirate World

Vice Admiral He looked at Yulandel's photo and was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"Zhan Guo, I think this is an opportunity to restore the navy's image."

Lieutenant General He pushed the photo of Yulandel in front of Zhan Guo.

"Xiaohe, you mean..."

"Well, because of Kiana, the navy's reputation has not been very good in the past two years. Although the current navy has gone through several rounds of screening, the remaining ones are already the navy that truly eliminates pirates."

"But this doesn't mean the Navy's past mistakes are over. Those mistakes are already known to people all over the world. Those things can't be changed, but we can change some of them now."

Zhan Guo nodded. "Continue."

"In addition to her incredible strength, Kiana's world-class beauty also played a significant role in the rapid expansion of her power."

"Being beautiful enough makes people naturally favor her, making her recruitment, military advancement, and subsequent management easier."

"Although this effect is not significant, it is undeniable that Kiana's beauty and Aokiji's former status as a navy admiral have earned her the loyalty of a large portion of the navy."

"It seems that because she doesn't like large-scale wars, Kiana didn't forcibly destroy the World Government. Otherwise, we would most likely have died in the battle by now."

"Don't you like large-scale war?"

Zhan Guo said as he thought about the people whose homes had been turned into battlefields. It was indeed a tragic scene. Because of this, he hated the rat, the culprit, even more. He would check the navy again later.

"Putting aside the war, Kiana's powerful and beautiful appearance has given him many potential friends, and Morganse is one of them."

"If Kiana wasn't the world's most beautiful woman, Morgans would still be paying attention to Kiana's situation, but they wouldn't be so quick to sell newspapers to the whole world. The navy should at least be able to react."

"Strength and beauty create topics, and also bring people closer, making it easy to define the other side as evil."

"The Navy had no other options before. Even if they wanted to recruit a beautiful woman who could serve as the face of the Navy, her strength and appearance were far inferior. The only powerful beauty who had some connection to the Navy was the Pirate Empress."

"But now, the Navy should have its own Kiana."

"Huh? Kiana from the navy? Kiana joined the navy?" Vice Admiral Tsuru had just finished speaking when Garp strode through the door and entered Sengoku's exclusive warship.

"It's not that Kiana joined the navy, it's that the navy could create someone like Kiana to restore the navy's image."

"Garp! Where have you been again, you bastard!"

Garp explained as he walked over to Sengoku's table and started eating some senbei. "Ah, I went to the East China Sea and took out a scumbag in the navy. Oh, and I also found a good seedling. I'm going to take a look at him to see if I should take him in as my apprentice."

crane:"……"

If Garp has a disciple, he cannot be given the title of Navy Hero, but he can be given something else, which is still easy to do.

"In short, Warring States, this time, Yulandel uncovered Crocodile's conspiracy to steal the country, and Yulandel suppressed Crocodile. These are both achievements that the navy can show off to others."

"It's a genuine matter, plus Yulandel's appearance. As long as we tell Morganus everything, he will do anything without us even asking him to do so."

"The Navy's image has definitely improved over the past two years. I don't need to explain how and how much money they should ask the World Government for."

"I understand. Garp, stop eating and get down to business!"

Sengoku said as he threw Garp out.

"Let Kizaru be responsible. Although he often does things ambiguously, his strength is there after all. He is with Morganus, so at least it won't be a problem for him to catch Morganus who wants to write nonsense."

"No problem. As for the rank..."

…………

Grand Line Navy G15 Base.

"The Navy's most beautiful Captain Yulandel successfully uncovered Crocodile's plot to steal the country, rescued Alabasta, captured Crocodile, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, and was promoted to Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters!"

When Nick saw this newspaper, his mind was confused.

Originally, he thought he had finally defeated Saska when he was with his superiors, but he didn't expect that Yulandel's military rank advancement was so fast. In a blink of an eye, her rank was two levels higher than that of Brigadier General Bondis, whom he followed.

Even because Yulandel is the lieutenant general of this unit, this rank may actually be three levels higher.

"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down! It's not that bad! It's not that bad!"

As Nick spoke, he turned into a half-human, half-dog form. Then Nick looked at his paws and saw that he was in the Dalmatian form of the Dog-Dog Fruit.

"That's right, I still have the devil fruit, the devil fruit given to me by Major General Bondis. At least now, in terms of strength, I am stronger than Sasca. That's right, at least my strength has improved, that's right!"

234 Regretful Nick

Yulandel's warship returned to the navy's G15 base. There were still a few things that needed to be handed over. Of course, these things could be handled by Saska, and Yulandel didn't need to do anything.

"Commodore Bondis."

Saska saluted Bondis. Seeing Saska's rank rising to major, Brigadier General Bondis felt as if he was in another world in just a few weeks.

A few weeks ago, Yulandel was just a lieutenant commander in the navy. Now, after a few weeks, Yulandel's adjutant has become a major, and a major in the navy headquarters, which is equivalent to a lieutenant colonel in the branch. This is something that Bondis had never dared to imagine before.

"Come with me. There's not much to share with Lieutenant General Yulandel. It will be over soon."

"it is good."

Things were completed quickly. After all, Yulandel's military rank had reached the rank of lieutenant general of the headquarters, which was strictly speaking one level higher than their base commander. Therefore, no one dared to make trouble for the handover of work.

Saska had already handed over all the work in less than half of the originally estimated time. After the handover, he even went to see his former superiors Colonel Morik and Major Lobe.

"I thought your rank and strength would increase quickly on Vice Admiral Yulandel's ship, but I didn't expect you to increase so quickly."

In just a few weeks, he had reached the same level as himself, and strictly speaking, his rank was even one level higher than his. When Major Lobe saw Saska, he even felt a little jealous.

"It's all thanks to the help of the two officers."

"You're no longer a superior. Your rank is already higher than mine. It won't be long before you're higher than Morik's, too."

"Well..." Saska wanted to be polite, but when he thought about the fact that the lieutenant general's adjutants were mostly at the rank of colonel, he didn't say anything polite after all.

"Don't call me sir. Luo Bei and I are older than you. Call me brother. You've become a major so quickly. Luo Bei and I are very happy for you. But even if your rank rises so quickly, don't forget your strength. As a soldier, combat capability is what you need to care about most."

"Don't worry, Brother Morik, Brother Lobe, I have no problem with my strength. When I was on a mission with Vice Admiral Yulandel, he gave me a devil fruit."

"Fruit? What fruit?"

Morik said as Saskar transformed into his orc form.

"Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Species, Saber-Tooth Tiger Form. After eating this devil fruit, my strength and speed have increased by so many times that I don't even know how many times."

"But one thing is certain. After eating the devil fruit, I was able to use some of the six styles that I couldn't use before. Now, in terms of theory, I even feel that I may be over three thousand, no, five thousand."

"It's possible to be over 5,000! This increase is truly terrifying. No wonder most of the world's top experts are users of Devil Fruit abilities."

Morik said with a bit of bitterness that if he had known that Yulandel would be promoted so quickly and treat his subordinates so well, he and Lobe would have directly defected with all their warships.

As Morik thought this, Lobe placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't even think about it. You and I wanted to join Yulandel's army when she just became a major. Such a thing is simply impossible."

"Well, who says it isn't true? Sometimes having a higher military rank isn't a good thing."

After Saska and Morik chatted for a long time, Saska said goodbye to them and left their residence.

When leaving, Saska met Nick who had been waiting for him on the road. Compared to a few weeks ago, Nick was obviously much more haggard and no longer as arrogant as before.

"Joining the navy requires influence and background. You hang out with major generals and brigadier generals, but your rank doesn't seem to have increased much."

Thinking of Nick's arrogant look before, Saska couldn't help but repeat what Nick said before and added a little of his own understanding.

"Well……"

After being scolded by Saska, Nick felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

But there was no way. If Nick didn't come and say something to Saska at this time, given Yulandel's situation, Saska, as her adjutant, might never see her again in the future.

Or even if they could meet again, Sascha would probably have already reached a very high military rank by then, which would be beyond his reach.

The Dalmatian form of the Dog-Dog Fruit is his last advantage over Saskatchewan. Only when Saskatchewan's military rank is not too high, his Dog-Dog Fruit has an advantage over Saskatchewan in some aspects.

Thinking of this, Nick quickly calmed down.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Yulandel is indeed very powerful, but that is Lieutenant General Yulandel who is powerful, not you."

Saska frowned. "What do you want to say?"

"To get by, you need influence and connections, but only your own strength is the ultimate truth that determines everything."

As Nick spoke, he grew a little taller and turned into a half-human, half-dalmatian appearance, exactly the Dalmatian form of the Inu-Inu Fruit.

"Although Brigadier General Bondis's rank is slightly lower than Vice Admiral Yulandel's, the devil fruit he gave me was once eaten by Vice Admiral Dalmessia. It is the combat power of a Vice Admiral of the headquarters."

Looking at Nick, who seemed to have grown a little taller but not much taller, Saska was silent for a long time, and then his body began to expand rapidly. Saska, who was originally only more than two meters tall, suddenly reached a height of more than seven meters.

Nick: "..."

"You, you, you... When did you eat the devil fruit? How come I didn't know!"

After his mind went blank for a while, Nick looked at Saska in disbelief.

After returning to his original form, Saska spread his hands. "Lieutenant General Yulandel gave it to me."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! When Brigadier General Bondis was recovering from his injuries, I took care of him all by myself, even bringing him water to wash his feet. It wasn't until he was able to get out of bed and recover that Brigadier General Bondis gave me the Devil Fruit!"

"How did you get the devil fruit given by Vice Admiral Yulandel? Did you do the same to Vice Admiral Yulandel?"

"Well... I would like to, but Vice Admiral Yulandel has Miss Krishnana by his side to do this kind of thing. It's not my turn to serve Vice Admiral Yulandel."

"..."

After a strange silence, Nick remembered that Yulandel was different from Brigadier General Bondis. Some things didn't seem to be a bad thing if they were done for Yulandel.

"艹" (a kind of plant)

235 There was no time to mourn for Crocodile. The next person to arrive on the battlefield was...

"What happened? You seem so happy?"

When Saska returned to the Yulandel warship, Nico Robin saw Saska's happiness, which she tried hard to hide but couldn't.

"Nothing, Miss Krishna, I just thought of something happy."

He directly obtained an ancient animal-type devil fruit, but Nick showed so much loyalty and did so many things, but only got a Dog-Dog Fruit, and it was in the form of a Dalmatian.

It seemed that for the sake of this devil fruit, he was about to kneel down and acknowledge his godfather. Thinking of the face that had mocked him before, Saska couldn't help but laugh.

Although he had undergone professional training and would never gloat over other people's misfortunes, he really couldn't help it this time.

"Oh? Really?" Robin's eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul, making Sasika feel a little uneasy.

"Ahem, yes."

Only under Robin's gaze did Saska stop laughing.

At this time on the other side of the warship.

"Are you sure you want to come to my ship?"

In the captain's room belonging to Yulandel, Yulandel was sitting on a chair, and Princess Vivi was kneeling in front of Yulandel.

"Sorry to trouble you again." Princess Weiwei said embarrassedly.

"It's not a matter of whether it's a nuisance or not. Your presence at most allows me to protect one more person, which is not a problem for me. But why are you coming to my ship at this time? Aren't you going to help rebuild the country?"

Yulandel looked at Princess Vivi and said that in the original work, Princess Vivi was on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship because she needed to help the people rebuild their homes.

"Huh? Why rebuild the country?"

Princess Vivi was confused by Yulandel's question. Due to the lack of Crocodile's subsequent actions, there was no fighting in Alabasta involving more than two million people, so the extent of the damage to Alabasta was limited.

After Alabasta completely took over Crocodile's Rain Banquet, the losses were directly compensated, and there was even a lot of money left, which filled the Alabasta treasury.

"Okay, I took this battle too seriously, but is it really okay for you not to return to your country at this time?"

Princess Weiwei shook her head. "It's okay. Father will take care of the rest. Besides, I'm a little unsure how to face Kosha."

Princess Vivi's plan to go to Kosa to use his emotions to stop the war was interrupted by Yulandel.

There was no need to ask Kosa for anything, and there was no subsequent fight alongside Kosa. Now Princess Vivi really didn't know what to do when she saw Kosa.

Kosha is not from Baroque Walker, but the rebellion has evolved to this point, and he did not stop the rebels as in the original book.

As the leader of the Alabasta rebels, even though he had saved Vivi before and was not executed directly, imprisonment this time was inevitable. Vivi really didn't know how to face this childhood friend.

If he can't face it, he might as well not face it. He also wants to go out for an adventure and see if there is any technology from other countries that can help Alabasta solve the water problem.

After all, after Crocodile is defeated, the rainfall will slowly recover, but the desert country of Alabasta is still short of water.
