"came back… "
Looking at the Navy Headquarters ahead, Ron stopped practicing.
From the time he left the Navy Headquarters to the time he came back, almost a month had passed. Although he had no significant results in attacks during this month, he had mastered the second-level magic of the guardian system, which was a great improvement to his combat flexibility. of increased.
Before he left, he had a very low chance of winning against any lieutenant general in the headquarters. It can only be said that his attack power was stronger than most lieutenant generals.
But now, with the six-staff light prison and the elf ball, plus the enchanted elf wand, there are not many lieutenant generals in this department who can beat him.
The military merit required to be promoted to lieutenant general is 150,000.
With Ron's current strength, it is true that he can arrest more pirates and be directly promoted to lieutenant general as soon as he graduates, but for him, it is not so necessary.
On the one hand, there are no achievements for being directly promoted to lieutenant general after graduation. On the other hand, the achievements that can be obtained at the Navy Headquarters are also limited. If you want to gain achievement points more freely, naturally you have to go there after graduation. Branch is the best.
Ron was still hesitant before whether to stay in the headquarters or go to the branch, but now he has no hesitation. His current strength can escape even if Doflamingo attacks.
Set foot on the harbor of the Navy Headquarters.
While Ron was thinking about his next plan, his eyes suddenly flashed and he let out a sigh.
He clearly felt that his soul had a slight shock. During this shock, his mental power began to increase, by about 2 points.
"This feels like... Nami has a breakthrough?"
Ron quickly found the source of the increase in mental power, and it was surprisingly due to the resonance of the mark brought by Nami. From the looks of it, Nami's total mental power should have been increased to 30 points.
Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but smack his lips.
If I remember correctly, it has only been a little over a month since Nami had 20 points of mental power. In one and a half months, she had increased her mental power by 10 points, breaking through a small realm? !
Although there is a reason why the initial cultivation speed will be faster, Nami’s cultivation speed is also a bit too fast. He only improved 3 or 4 points in the first month, which is less than half of Nami’s improvement!
And Ron estimated that Nami wouldn't devote all her time to training. She might just meditate for a few hours a day, and then she would have 30 points of mental power
All right.
Ron sighed, it seemed that Nami was indeed a genius.
But unfortunately, he is a bit more talented, and his total mental power is now close to 120 points.
…
Back at the Navy headquarters, Ron went directly to the affairs office and did a few things.
The first thing is to submit an application for early graduation.
The second thing is to spend 30,000 military points to exchange for animal devil fruits.
The third thing is to spend 25,000 military merits to exchange for a large piece of irregular sea tower stone.
This department does have sea floor stones for exchange, including rough stones.
The processing of seastone is extremely difficult, much more difficult than mining, especially things like seastone bullets. Apart from Wano, only Vegapunk can make them.
Therefore, the value of regular and processed sea floor stone is very high, especially sea floor stone weapons, while the irregular rough sea floor stone that has not been processed is much cheaper.
For Ron, the rules didn't matter much; he only cared about the overall size.
Therefore, the Hailou Stone exchanged for 25,000 points of military merit is also very huge, in the shape of an irregular stone. If cut into a spherical shape, the diameter would be about one meter.
The sea tower stone inlaid at the bottom of the warship is only larger than this.
Although I don’t know what Ron is doing in exchanging such a large piece of rough Sea Tower Stone, not many people care about it, because people often exchange it. After all, Sea Tower Stone is extremely difficult to destroy due to its fruit ability. For those with abilities, it can be Said it was the best target.
No matter how hard you hit it, you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged.
Because there was a process required to graduate early, he could not start the graduation assessment immediately. Ron returned to his residence after exchanging the Sea Tower Stone and Devil Fruit.
…
In the center of the cleared room.
An irregular sea tower stone about one meter in diameter is placed there.
Ron was standing not far away. He was not looking at the sea stone. Instead, he was squinting his eyes and staring thoughtfully at an animal devil fruit that looked like a banana in his hand.
Ron once snatched a Devil Fruit from the Don Quixote family. For this reason, he killed Senior and became a enemy of the Don Quixote family.
At that time, Ron also studied Devil Fruit from a spiritual perspective, but he could only perceive that the Devil Fruit contained some kind of energy and curse, but could not perceive anything clearer.
And now.
Ron's mental power has reached 100 points, he possesses God Mode, and his observation ability has reached the level of being able to peer into the cellular level. When he looked at the Devil Fruit, he already saw more completely different things.
After raising his observation skills to the extreme, one thing he could vaguely observe was that Devil Fruit seemed to be made of 'runes'!
These runes are not the runes that Ron knows, but they appear to be very rough, or they are the embodiment of the simplest rules. The most important point is that there is not just one rune, but a complicated one composed of countless ones. , all are connected to each other and form a whole!
It's like observing the most primitive building blocks of life.
"These runes... don't seem to be eternal runes, but they seem to have some characteristics of eternity, but they are a bit too complicated."
Ron stared and observed. After observing for a long time, his brows became more and more frowned.
The number of runes contained in this Devil Fruit is no less than a hundred, each of which is rough and difficult to understand. How it can form the effect of an animal-type Devil Fruit after being mixed together is even more difficult to understand, unless there are more Give him a few animals to study.
"No matter, just remember it first and then talk about it."
Feeling that his soul was getting more and more 'hungry' and wanted to devour the energy contained in this Devil Fruit, Ron shook his head slightly in his heart and no longer explored in depth, but carefully read the runes that formed this Devil Fruit. After remembering it, he no longer suppressed the devouring desire of his soul.
Just like last time, his spirit instantly extended outside his body, opened his mouth like a demon, swallowed the Devil Fruit in one mouthful, shattered all the runes in it, crushed it to pieces, and squeezed out all the Energy, quickly absorbed.
Zizzi!
Ron threw the rest away, along with the curse.
The curse part is also a rune. Ron thought that this part of the rune might be a dark curse rune, but it was also very rough and obscure.
The curse rune and the overall rune are also combined together. When the overall rune is broken, this part of the curse rune cannot exist alone. It quickly breaks and disappears into the void, revealing exactly the same scene as the last time it swallowed the devil fruit. .
