Chapter 279： Eve of promotion

"You guy, you know how to eat!"

Duuss's expression remained unchanged, and he stepped forward and took Ace's shoulder from the right side and walked out of town:

"Our boat is too small, so I said not to kill so many people at once."

"Ah, stop confiscating it... just right, someone accepted it, and these guys don't need to waste their bounty."

"..."

Ainilu tilted his head and watched the two leave talking and laughing, but a little admired Ace simply:

"This pirate hunter is simply...Although I can't tell the victory or defeat, it is still more troublesome to catch the priests."

"Sure enough, it is Qinghai... The first time I encountered a natural ability person, how strong are the three navy'generals" of the natural science..."

...

"Ace, what's the matter? Are you all right!"

It wasn't until far away from the Whiskey Peak that Duos saw Ace relax before asking.

"Hey! The Fruit of Thunder, really well-deserved!"

Ace raised his right hand, Duus took out the medical kit, and began to bandage Ace.

"You are both natural elements, Thunder and Fire shouldn't be able to tell the winner! Why can he hurt you?!"

Ace sighed: "Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived on the great route, I encountered a person capable of resounding the fruit of thunder. This is simply a blow to me!"

With a wry smile, Ace said to Deuss: "Back then, Uncle Wright gave us many examples when he told us about natural devil fruits."

"And among them, there are burning fruits and thunder fruits."

"That's why I can grasp the power of burning fruit so quickly and try to develop it further."

"And the Fruit of Thunder, called the'strongest natural ability', I am afraid it is true."

Seeing Duuss's puzzled eyes, Ace slowly said:

"Uncle Wright seems to have guessed that some of us will get burned fruits in the future. He suppressed the possibility of flames and cited many examples."

"There are many things that can extinguish the flames, water, sand, can stop the flames from burning."

"The freezing low temperature can suppress the flame, and the magma can not only absorb the temperature of the flame, but also block the combustion."

"But what we never expected is that powerful lightning can also extinguish flames!"

"We have only seen lightning hit trees and ignite flames. When have we seen lightning extinguish the flames?!"

"Therefore, when I encounter those with the ability of Thunder Fruit, I will attack so decisively-I am not worried about my safety."

"Because the lightning cannot be extinguished if the lightning is not strong enough!"

Duos had forgotten the bandage on his hand to wrap the wound, muttering to himself

"This... this is incredible!"

"Right? I also found it incredible, and then you saw it, indeed, as Uncle Wright said."

"Although it's just an inconspicuous small injury, it does prove that he can hurt me if his strength is equal, but I can't hurt him!"

"Furthermore... This person with the thunder fruit ability seems to have a profound application of abilities. It should have taken me a lot longer than I got the burned fruit, and the ability development level is much higher."

Ace was a little frustrated, but soon laughed again:

"But it's not without gain..."

"The moment my fire fist touched his thunder and lightning, it reached the temperature I have been working hard to increase!"

"Uncle Wright also said that the nature of flame and lightning are very similar, so if I imitate the moment when lightning and flame collide..."

Ace raised his left hand, and an orange flame ignited on his fingertips.

"Knowledge is also power... Uncle Wright said it really well."

Closing his eyes, Ace tried hard to recall how he felt when he played against Ainilu.

"Burns faster! More concentrated! More intense!"

"That feeling..."

"not enough……"

Diuss had a cold sweat on his face.

What kind of monster did the Lieutenant General Wright who was about to be promoted to general teach?

Burning the fruit was terrible, but Ace actually got such detailed knowledge about flames!

You can even figure out what kind of help the enemy's ability can bring to you so quickly!

Now the flame at Ace's fingertips has gradually departed from the original orange-red color, and has gradually become lighter!

At the same time, Duos gradually felt that the flames that had turned yellow had bursts of heat, rushing toward his face!

Finally, Ace opened his eyes and looked at the flames that had turned to yellow at his fingertips with satisfaction:

"For the time being, only this level can be achieved, the temperature is much higher than before..."

"Ha! It seems that my feeling is right. Uncle Wright said that if the flame reaches blue-white, the temperature will be several times higher!"

Blue and white flames? It’s not as simple as getting hurt!

Duos looked at Ace who was happy, and inexplicably felt awe of Wright.

...

Time slowly passed, and the Navy Headquarters was making full preparations for the promotion of the unprecedented fourth general seat.

Different from the promotion of the three previous generals and the re-election of the admiral, it is a transition between the old and the new, but now, it is growing!

"How is it, you will be promoted to general soon, how do you feel?"

After many years, Wright, Luo Xindi, and Smalley finally gathered at the headquarters again-tomorrow is the promotion ceremony, and Smalley was able to return to the headquarters after handling the affairs of the branch base.

At the same time, the lieutenant generals stationed at the bases of the various branches of the Great Sea Route also returned to the headquarters today to prepare for tomorrow's celebration.

That's right, this general promotion ceremony can be regarded as a celebration for all the navy!

"It feels? It's okay... I was quite excited at first, but after thinking about it, I didn't have many chances to be promoted to general, and it was quite boring."

Wright looked at the two dumb guys in front of him, and shook his head helplessly:

"But you, after being promoted to lieutenant general, there are many more things to be responsible for, and the lieutenant general is almost the busiest in this department."

"Although it is relatively free, you can often go out for tasks, but you must also ensure that there are no mistakes in the things you are responsible for."

"Besides, if you two are stationed at the G-5 branch together, you know what kind of pressure I was under."

Luo Xindi nodded, and he and Smogg stationed at the G-5 branch together. It was the decision of the old man Warring States.

Now, or in the near future, the G-5 branch has been given a different meaning-it is not only a nail of the headquarters in the new world, but also a bridgehead.

The bridgehead for the headquarters to advance to the new world!

The navy headquarters with four generals cannot be satisfied with the weak control of the new world, and the most direct way to strengthen the control is to establish a new branch base!

Establishing a new branch under the supervision of the "Four Emperors" is almost tantamount to drawing their faces. By then, it will not be the size of the fifth division of the White Beard who came to test the scale!

Therefore, the G-5 branch must be strong enough and the control range is large enough to be able to establish a new branch fortress while avoiding the eyes of the "four emperors"!

The fifth-generation light cast beacon makes material transmission no longer a problem, and Wright has also expanded the scope of control before.

The task of Small and Rosundi is to ensure that the current situation will be stabilized after Wright leaves the G-5 branch.

When the "Four Emperors" got used to the current sphere of influence of the G-5 branch, it was time for the navy headquarters to start construction!
