Pirates of the Holy Light Sword

Chapter 280 The Eve of Promotion
"You bastard, you know how to eat!"

Deus's face remained unchanged, he stepped forward and hugged Ace's shoulder from the right side and walked out of the town:
"Our boat is too small, so I said don't kill so many people at once."

"Ah, it's confiscated, stop it... It just so happens that someone has accepted it, so there's no need to waste the bounties of these guys."

"..."

Enilu tilted his head and watched the two leave talking and laughing, but he admired Ace's straightforwardness:
"This pirate hunter is straightforward... Although I can't tell the difference, it is still more troublesome to catch the priests."

"Sure enough, it's Qinghai... It's the first time I've encountered a natural-type ability user, how strong are the three natural-type 'generals' in the navy..."

……

"Ace, what's going on? Are you okay!"

It wasn't until he was far away from the Whiskey Mountain that Deuss saw Ace relax before he asked.

"Hey! The thunderous fruit really lives up to its reputation!"

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

"You are all natural, it shouldn't be possible to tell the difference between thunder and fire! Why can he hurt you?!"

Ace sighed: "I didn't expect that when I first arrived on the great route, I would encounter the ability user of the thunder fruit. This is simply a blow to me!"

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

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

"That's why I was able to grasp the power of Shao Shao fruit so quickly, and try to develop it further."

"As for the thunderous fruit, it is called the 'strongest natural ability', and I am afraid it is true."

Looking at Deus's puzzled eyes, Ace said slowly:
"Uncle Wright seemed to guess that some of us would get the burning fruit in the future, and gave many examples of the possible suppression of the flame."

"There are many things that can extinguish a flame. Water, sand, can stop a flame 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 strike trees and set them on fire. When have we seen lightning extinguish the flames?!"

"That's why I attacked the ability user of the thunder fruit so decisively - I didn't worry about my own safety."

"Because if the lightning is not strong enough, it will not be able to extinguish the fire!"

Deus had forgotten the bandages on his wounds, and muttered to himself:
"This... this is incredible!"

"Is it? I also found it incredible, and then you saw it too. It is indeed as Uncle Wright said."

"Although it's just an inconspicuous injury, it really proves that if the strength is the same, he can hurt me, but I can't hurt him!"

"Moreover... this thunder fruit ability user seems to be very proficient in the application of abilities. It should take much longer than me to get the burning fruit, and the level of ability development is much higher."

Ace was a little frustrated, but soon laughed again:
"But it's not without gains..."

"The moment my fire fist touched his lightning, it reached the temperature I've been trying to raise!"

"Uncle Wright also said that the essence of flame and lightning is very similar, so if I imitate the moment when lightning collides with flame..."

Ace raised his left hand, and a cluster of orange flames ignited on the fingertips.

"Knowledge is also power...Uncle Wright is really right."

Closing his eyes, Ace tried hard to recall the feeling of fighting Enel.

"Burning faster! More concentrated! More intense!"

"That feeling..."

"not enough……"

Deus was already in a cold sweat.

What kind of monster did Lieutenant General Wright, who was about to be promoted to general, teach him!

Originally burning fruit was scary enough, but Ace actually got such detailed knowledge about flames!

You can even figure out how the enemy's abilities can help you so quickly!
Now the flames on Ace's fingertips have gradually left the original orange color and gradually become lighter!
At the same time, Deus gradually felt that there were waves of heat coming from the cluster of yellowed flames, rushing toward his face!

Finally, Ace opened his eyes and looked at the yellow flame at his fingertips with satisfaction:
"We 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-white, the temperature may be several times higher!"

Blue and white flames?Getting hit by that kind of thing is not as simple as being injured!
Deus looked at the happy Ace, and inexplicably felt another layer of awe towards Wright.

……

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

Different from the promotion of the three major generals and the change of admiral of the navy before, it was a change of old and new, but now, it is developing and growing!

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

After many years, Wright, Rossindi and Smoker finally got together again at the headquarters—tomorrow is the promotion ceremony, and Smoker was able to return to the headquarters after dealing with the affairs of the branch base.

At the same time, the lieutenant generals stationed at the various branch bases of the Great Airway are also returning to the headquarters today, preparing to participate in tomorrow's celebration.

That's right, this general promotion ceremony can be regarded as a celebration for the entire navy!
"Feeling? It's nothing... At first I felt quite excited, but after thinking about it, after being promoted to a general, there are not many opportunities to make moves, so it's quite boring."

Wright looked at the two puffing guys in front of him, and shook his head helplessly:
"It's you, after being promoted to lieutenant general, you need to be responsible for a lot more things. The lieutenant general is almost the busiest in the headquarters."

"Although it is relatively free, you can often go out on missions, but you must also ensure that the things you are responsible for do not go wrong."

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

Rossindi nodded. It was Dad Zhanguo's decision to station himself and Smoker in the G-5 branch.

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

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

The naval headquarters with four generals cannot be satisfied with the weak control over the new world, and the most direct way to strengthen the control is to establish a new branch base!
Establishing a new branch surrounded by the "Four Emperors" is almost tantamount to slapping them in the face. At that time, it will not be the scale that the White Beard Fifth Division came to test!

Therefore, the G-5 branch must be strong enough and have a large enough control area to be able to establish a new branch fortress while avoiding the eyes of the "Four Emperors"!

The fifth generation of light-forged beacons made material transmission no longer a problem, and Wright had already expanded the scope of control before.

The task of Smoker and Rossindi is to ensure that the current situation is stabilized after Wright leaves the G-5 branch.

When the "Four Emperors" get used to the current sphere of influence of the G-5 branch, it's time for the Navy Headquarters to start building!
