Navy headquarters, general villa area.
"It can reproduce itself in water without adding any additional nutrients. This... is really a magical thing!"
The general's villa area covers a large area, and Ron, as a lieutenant general, has a huge courtyard. At this moment, in a converted warehouse underground in the courtyard, Ron was full of surprise, looking at the slowly flowing liquid in the transparent water tank with an astonished expression.
Ron was sure that the contents inside it were only half a box of seawater a few days ago, and he went to the shore to fill it himself.
But at this moment, in the water tank that is sealed on all sides and airtight, the sea water is flowing on its own, divided into upper and lower layers, rising and falling back and forth.
Just like the "Styx Water" found in Alabasta!
The underground River Styx had been destroyed by him, but before the destruction, Ron poured a small bottle with gold and filled it with a thumb-long bottle of Styx water.
Originally, I wanted to give it to Caesar or Vegapunk to study and see if they could find anything useful. There are countless inexplicable things in the One Piece world, so I believe the two of them would be very interested.
As a result, Moria's sudden collapse triggered a series of turmoil, leaving Ron no time to make this trip.
Because it was a long way to go to Bardigo, he was worried that there would be problems with the parasites inside, so he found a glass tank and gave them a new home like a fish pond.
As a result, after returning from Bardigo, what was once a pool of stagnant water came back to life!
Ron was dumbfounded by this self-reproduction ability that ignored the conservation of energy. In the eyes of outsiders, his self-healing ability was close to "making something out of nothing." However, his family knew about their own affairs and also abided by the conservation of energy.
Healing injuries not only requires energy, but also consumes a lot of energy!
Based on this alone, Ron decided not to let anyone know of their existence!
"This is much simpler than the man-made disaster I originally planned!"
In the underground warehouse, Ron's lips curled up: "Maybe it's God's will? If you hadn't left, how could I have easily obtained this thing."
Bang bang tied up!
At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Ron's ears twitched and he frowned silently.
Sizzling…
Electricity exploded in place, and a faint blue light illuminated the space. Looking back, Ron had already lost track of him.
"Long time no see, Master Zero!"
Arriving at the door in an instant, Ron opened the door with a faint smile on his face.
Mask Zero looked at him seriously and said after a long time: "No wonder you were able to capture Dorag, you have really become a lot stronger!"
Ron's attitude towards him was as calm as ever, but don't forget that he and Lirisk had already drawn a clear line.
In the past, it was because Li Risk had made good friends with him. Zero was definitely not willing to make trouble over nothing, and Ron had the confidence to face him.
But now, relying solely on himself, Ron has the confidence to face everything calmly.
This is a change that occurs from the inside out with the gradual strengthening of self-awareness. In layman's terms, it is the "confidence of the strong", which is essentially different from the previous "immortal madness".
No wonder Akainu was surprised, feeling that Ron seemed like a different person.
"Want to come in for a cup of tea?"
Ron turned sideways and made an invitation gesture.
"No need, I'm just here to deliver a message."
Zero shook his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly due to the mask: "Wulaoxing asked me to tell you that they are very satisfied with the navy's operation this time. You are indispensable for being able to capture Dorag alive, and they owe you a favor. "
As a mere lieutenant general, Ron was not qualified to ask the Five Old Stars to show concern. In their eyes, Marshal Sengoku was just the leader of the watchdog, who could take anything he wanted.
Therefore, this favor is not directed at "Lieutenant General Canglong" Ron, but Ron personally.
The extraordinary achievement of arresting Dorag would not be a problem even if he was given the highest seat in the government, second only to them, but Ron showed no sign of anything. After returning, he even stayed at home for several days in order to avoid the limelight, which made Ron They have time to deal with the follow-up, which saves them a lot of trouble.
Wulao Xing sent Ling over to explain his attitude best.
It can probably be understood as.
"Don't worry, young man, there is someone above you!"
Zero knew clearly that rumors of severely punishing Ron had recently begun to circulate in the Celestial Dragon family, saying that he had beaten the Celestial Dragon and ignored the authority of the world's nobles.
Even the rudeness to Don Quixote's muse Garuda back in the Chambord Islands was discussed.
Calculating the time, that was exactly what happened after Saint Liriske returned to the Holy Land.
Now that the attitude of the Five Old Stars appeared, these rumors melted like snow under the scorching sun. Before Zero left the Holy Land, everything was calm and there was no more disturbance.
"Thank you Wulaoxing for your love! I am really ashamed of my responsibility!"
Ron raised the corners of his mouth, refusing to be humble.
Although he is not familiar with political circles and has no interest in playing Machiavellian tactics, it does not mean that he is a fool.
If this operation were to be judged on merit and reward, he would have 70% of the final move to trap the enemy!
How should we reward such great achievements
It is not an exaggeration to say that his achievements shocked the master.
Retreating from the rapids is not only political consciousness, but also a philosophy of life for people.
If you don't have the ability to overturn the existing order, there is nothing wrong with being high-profile and low-key.
Ron has it all, talent, scheming, means, strength, connections, money, and fame. His only weakness lies in his accumulated military exploits and the expression of his own value.
It has nothing to do with how high a status is required, but rather a manifestation of cognition.
Take the current Navy, for example. When talking about the Navy, no one can avoid the old bastard Garp.
This kind of widespread recognition is a privilege, an attitude of tacit approval by the Five Old Stars.
So the old bastard scolded the Celestial Dragons in front of the five old stars, and even the Celestial Dragons themselves didn't bother to care about it, and they didn't dare to care about it.
Now he can be added to this kind of privileged person... As long as the government exists and as long as Ron is under the jurisdiction of the government, he will be a "world noble" without a title!
Ling Cai didn't believe such an obvious perfunctory statement. If he said he didn't want it, then he wouldn't want it. Where would Wulaoxing's face go
This matter was notified unilaterally by Wulaoxing, not to inquire about Ron's attitude.
Shaking his head and ignoring it, Zero turned around and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Master Zero, how is the recent situation in the Holy Land?"
"Um?"
Zero stopped, looked back at him seriously, and said, "It's much better than you think."
After saying this, Zero tore open the space and disappeared in the next second.
Ron could feel a powerful aura flying away from this place like a flicker, and finally stopped on a warship on the sea.
"Better than I imagined...?"
"I see!"
Ron silently raised the corners of his mouth, showing a cold smile.
Orric's first trial seemed to have failed miserably!
However, Ron believed that this time it would not be the end. Although Orric failed, the Five Old Stars were forced to expose a lot of things.
For example, they were unable to suppress them with their own hands and could only guide their release, which led to an all-out war with Big Mom.
Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Until the final result comes out, both sides can afford to lose.
"Lieutenant General Canglong, the marshal wants you to rush to the office for a meeting immediately!"
In the distance, a navy soldier ran over panting and looked at Ron standing at the door, looking around strangely.
Is there no one here
Why is Lieutenant General Canglong at the door
