Late at night, Navy Headquarters, Marshal's Office.
"What?!"
Akainu stood up in shock, looking straight ahead regardless of the image.
He woke up after a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, I will tell them the news."
After saying that, Akainu quickly put down the phone and pulled up his cloak.
"Ms. He, I'll leave the rest to you. I have something to go out on."
"What's wrong?"
Hearing this, He, who was handling official business in the marshal's office together, frowned and asked.
The Admiral has the power but does not mean that he has the ability to cover everything. Therefore, except for certain taboo matters that must be dealt with individually, most of the time these trivial official matters require her as the chief of staff to advise.
Except for the fact that she has no arbitrary power over real major matters, the position of "Chief of General Staff of the Navy Headquarters" is actually similar to that of half a marshal, so there is nothing wrong with Akainu entrusting her to handle these documents.
This is also the reason why He has a special status in the navy. Even if we exclude Garp, Sengoku, Zefa and other common people who have a close relationship with her, and then remove the three generals and replace them with others, there will be no difference.
In the future battle with Im, Crane may also be needed to take charge of stabilizing the rear.
Thinking of this, Akainu slowed down and walked to the door, turned around and replied: "Oric's fruit ability has disappeared. According to observations, his body is aging rapidly."
After that, he opened the door and walked out.
In the office, He watched him leave blankly, and then his pupils shrank.
"Oric's fruit ability...disappeared?!!"
Just listening to the second half of the sentence doesn't actually have much lethality.
There are many fruits in this world that can make people age rapidly. What many people don't know is that her washing fruit has such an effect.
Simply purging evil thoughts or cleaning away the corpse oil and red fire left by the "Fire Disaster", abilities that require the target to be incompletely defended are not enough to support her myth as a female soldier.
Not to mention, more than ten years ago, she chased Doflamingo all over the sea. The latter was not only afraid that she would wash away his evil thoughts and make him unlike herself, but he was also afraid of her other methods.
After all, if you can't catch it, how can you wash away evil thoughts
What reason did Doflamingo have for avoiding her
However, the first half of the sentence made He Mao feel horrified.
"Actually... can this be done?!!"
…
Regarding Devil Fruits, there is a set of "well-known" rules in the sea.
This kind of pattern is not authoritatively certified by anyone, but is something that has been tested over time. Everyone looks for patterns from existing data and then spreads them out by word of mouth.
Among them, there are two most famous ones.
First, a person can only eat one Devil Fruit in his life. If he eats the second one, his body will explode and die.
Secondly, there is only one Devil Fruit at a time, and the same fruit will not appear before his death.
In addition, there are the third and fourth points, etc., which are all familiar to everyone, just like a shot put should fall downwards. No one pays attention to it, but it has been recognized by everyone... "truth".
One of them is like this.
"The Devil Fruit will only be inherited by the first person who eats it. Once eaten, it will never disappear until death."
Until death!
What a strong yoke!
Today, however, this inherent common sense has been broken.
There is a person who has eaten a Devil Fruit, but now he has lost his abilities... and is rapidly aging while still alive.
The reason why Akainu left was because there was no one available to him in the Holy Land at the moment.
Kizaru was thrown out by Ron to keep an eye on Vegapunk. To deal with such a serious matter as Im, with that person's character, joining in would only be a waste of work. It would be better to be out of sight and out of mind.
Qingzhi only had half a month, but he didn't count the return trip in half a month, so he was in a hurry and immediately gathered people to set off after the meeting ended that day. Fortunately, he had already made preparations, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to catch up even if he was in a hurry.
With Ron becoming the leader of the Holy Land, only two of the three generals are left, and both of them have missions.
The new general is still in contention. Just like Ron's reason for taking the position, Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin do not have the capital to convince everyone, so they cannot entrust them with important tasks.
He quickly came to the science unit. The soldier guarding the gate looked at him strangely, and then quickly saluted.
"marshal!"
"Hmm...how many soldiers are there at the Science Force Headquarters?"
Akainu asked, nodding in response.
"Report! Including the internal patrol team, there are 350 people in total!"
After all, it is the scientific force headquarters within the Navy Headquarters, and it is not a den of thieves like the one in Shampoo. It is already quite large to have 350 people stationed there.
All the people who can breathe in some remote branches all over the world cannot even make up 300 people.
Akainu also understood this. Fortunately, he had enough manpower, so he quickly said: "Give me an order to block the entrance and exit immediately. No one can leave without my permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
As a hawk, Akainu's methods are not so gentle.
But there's no doubt it works.
As soon as the words "shoot to kill" came out, the soldiers at the door widened their eyes in shock, then stood at attention and saluted.
"yes!!!"
It was several minutes before the deputy commander of the scientific force, a white-haired man in a white coat, came to Akainu.
Looking at the livid Akainu at the gate, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
"Marshal, what happened?"
The science force has also had a bad year in the past two years. They have only two outstanding scientific researchers, Vegapunk and M. Caesar Courant.
As a result, Caesar was captured and executed for some unexplainable reasons, but it was the current leader of the Holy Land, Soryu, who personally took action; then Vegapunk betrayed the Holy Land not long ago and ordered the pacifists to massacre the people...
This group of old academics in the science team were immediately stunned. The boss and the second boss have jumped into the wolf. What should we do
Compared to cp0, the scientific force is actually on the verge of disbandment.
Akainu could tell what he was worried about, he frowned and said, "It's none of your business, I'm here to find something."
After saying that, he looked at the tea dolphins and the others who came after hearing the news, and asked, "No one left?"
"Report! No!"
The tea dolphin reported solemnly, then huddled together and said with a playful smile: "From the night of Bega Punk's betrayal, General Kizaru asked me to send people to keep an eye on them. Within half a month, all of them took the opportunity to find them. Those who left with excuses have been put in jail and awaiting retribution.”
"Huh, you're quite tricking!"
Akainu twitched his lips and let out a "hum".
No matter what, this was a dereliction of duty on his part. Soldiers don't need excuses, let alone a marshal.
Fortunately, Kizaru was not a light-hearted person. He had known that the Science Corps would be reckoned with by the Queen, so he had made preparations in advance.
They all learned bad things from Ron!
Akainu cursed, then looked at the old scholar: "I don't have time to deal with your matters now. Go and find me all the research information on Devil Fruits."
"Especially the experiments done by Vegapunk and Caesar Coulant back then, find them all!"
The old scholar was relieved to hear that he was just looking for information. No matter how many shameful experiments those two did in the Holy Land, they were members of the scientific team after all. Therefore, most of the experimental data and research materials were backed up at the headquarters. Devil Fruits naturally Same.
However, the old scholar suddenly started to sweat profusely at the thought of allowing Akainu to mobilize his troops like this.
Damn it, if you can't find it, it's over!
He turned around quickly and ran inward in a hurry: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and find us!"
