Chapter 279 The Eve of Promotion
"You guy, you know how to eat!"
Dius's face remained unchanged, and he stepped forward and hugged Ace's shoulder from the right side and walked out of the town:
"Our ship is too small, so I said don't kill so many people at once."
"Ah, I didn't stop... It just so happened that someone accepted it, so there is no need to waste the bounty of these guys."
“…”
Eniro tilted his head and watched the two of them leave talking and laughing, but he was a little impressed by Ace:
"This pirate hunter is just... Although I can't tell the winner from me, it's still a bit more troublesome to catch the priests."
"It's indeed Qinghai... I met a natural-type capable person for the first time. The three natural-type 'generals' of the Navy, how strong are they..."
...
"Ace, what's going on? Are you okay?"
Until he left the Whiskey Peak, Dius asked when he saw Ace relaxing.
"Hey! The Fruit of Soaring Thunder is indeed well-deserved!"
Ace raised his right hand, Dius took out the medical box and began to bandage Ace.
"You are all natural, and thunder and fire should not be able to tell the outcome! Why can he hurt you?!"
Ace sighed: "I didn't expect that when I first arrived at the Great Route, I encountered a thunder fruit capable person. This was a surprise to me!"
With a wry smile, Ace said to Dius: "When Uncle Wright told us about the devil fruit of nature, he gave us many examples."
"And among them are the burnt fruits and the burnt fruits."
"So I can master the power of burning fruit so quickly and try to develop it further."
"The Fruit of Sound Thunder, known as the 'strongest natural ability', is probably true."
Looking at Dius' puzzled eyes, Ace slowly said:
"Uncle Wright was like guessing that some of us would get the burnt fruit in the future, giving many examples of suppression that the flame might encounter."
"There are many things that can extinguish the flames, water and sand, which can block the flames from burning."
"The frozen low temperature can suppress the flame, and magma can not only absorb the flame temperature, but also block combustion."
"But what we never expected was that powerful lightning can also extinguish the flames!"
"We have only seen lightning strikes trees and ignite flames. When have we seen lightning extinguish flames?!"
"So when I encounter a person with the ability of the thunder fruit, I will attack so decisively - I am not worried about my safety."
"Because if the lightning is not strong enough, the fire cannot be extinguished!"
Dius had forgotten the bandage on his hand that had bandaged his wound and murmured to himself:
"This...this is simply incredible!"
"Well? I also found it incredible, and then you saw it too, it was indeed as Uncle Wright said."
"Although it's just an inconspicuous minor injury, it does prove that if he can hurt me under the same strength, I can't hurt him!"
"And... this thunder fruit abilities seem to have a very profound application of abilities. It should be much longer than I have obtained thunder fruits and has a much higher level of ability development."
Ace was a little discouraged, but soon laughed again:
"But it's not without gains..."
"The moment my fire fist and his lightning contact reached the temperature I had been trying to increase!"
"Uncle Wright also said that the nature of flame and lightning are very similar, so if I imitate the feeling of the moment when lightning and fire collided..."
Ace raised his left hand and a cluster of orange flames ignited from his fingertips.
"Knowledge is also power... Uncle Wright said it is indeed good."
Closed his eyes, Ace tried hard to recall the feeling of fighting with Anilu.
"Burning faster! More concentrated! More intense!"
"That feeling..."
“It’s not enough…”
Dius was already sweating coldly.
What kind of monster did Lieutenant General Wright teach that he was about to be promoted to general?
It was originally terrible to burn the fruit, but Ace actually got such detailed knowledge about flames!
You can even figure out how much help your enemy's abilities can help you so quickly!
Now the flames at Ace's fingertips have gradually faded away from the original orange-red color and gradually become lighter!
At the same time, Dius gradually felt that the cluster of yellow flames had waves of heat coming to his face!
Finally, Ace opened his eyes and looked at the flames that had turned yellow with satisfaction:
"I can only do this for the time being, the temperature is much higher than before..."
"Ha! It seems that my feeling is right. Uncle Wright said that if the flame reaches blue and white, the temperature will probably be several times higher!"
Blue and white flame? If you get hit by something, it’s not as simple as being injured!
Dius looked at the happy Ace and inexplicably developed a layer of awe at Wright.
...
As time passes slowly, the Navy Headquarters is fully preparing for the promotion of the unprecedented fourth general seat.
Unlike the three previous promotions and the change of the Navy Marshal, it is a transition from the old to the new, but now it is a development and growth!
"How is it? I'm about to be promoted to general. How do you feel?"
After many years, Wright, Rosinandi and Smoger finally gathered at the headquarters together - tomorrow is the promotion ceremony, and Smoger was able to return to the headquarters after handling the affairs of the branch base.
At the same time, the lieutenant generals stationed at various branch bases of the Great Hang Road also returned to the headquarters one after another today to prepare to attend tomorrow's celebration.
That’s right, this general promotion ceremony can be regarded as a celebration for all the navy!
"I feel? It's nothing... I felt quite excited at first, but then I thought about it and there weren't many opportunities to take action after being promoted to a general, and it was quite boring."
Wright looked at the two guys in front of him, shook his head helplessly:
"But you, after you are promoted to Lieutenant General, you have to be responsible for a lot more things. Lieutenant General is almost the busiest thing in the headquarters."
"Although you are relatively free and you can go out to do tasks frequently, you must also ensure that there are no mistakes in the matters you are responsible for."
"And, you two are stationed at the G-5 branch together, and you will know what kind of pressure I have been under before."
Rosinandi nodded. It was my father's decision to station in the G-5 branch with Smog.
Now, or not soon, the G-5 branch has been given different meanings - it is not only a nail for the headquarters to be nailed to the new world, but also a bridgehead.
This department is advancing to the new world!
The Navy Headquarters with four generals cannot be satisfied with weak control over the New World. The most direct way to strengthen control is to establish a new branch base!
Establishing a new branch surrounded by the "Four Emperors" is almost like slapping them in the face. By then, it will not be the size of the Whitebeard Fifth Team that year!
Therefore, the g-5 branch must be strong enough and has a large enough control range to establish a new branch fortress while avoiding the "Four Emperors"!
The fifth generation of light casting track marks made material transmission no longer a problem, and Wright had already expanded the control range before.
The task of Smoger and Rosinandi is to ensure that the current situation will be stabilized after Wright leaves the G-5 branch.
Chapter completed!
