I don't want to be a general, I choose Buddhism

Moreover, if "Red-haired" Shanks is solved with the "two-hit kill" ability of "Bee", even if the Navy conducts a follow-up autopsy, it will not find any problems.

Immediately, Ian asked in a casual tone. "So, Shanks, what did you mean by the sound? What's wrong with the devil fruit I ate?"

"Red Hair" Shanks heard the words, showing obvious hesitation on his expression.

"Is it a secret that is not convenient to tell?" Ian asked.

"Red Hair" Shanks shook his head and said.

"No, it's not a secret that can't be revealed, but it's one of the truths related to the devil fruit, and it's also one of the secrets recorded in Ralph Drew. As a navy, are you sure you want to hear it?"

At the end, "Red Hair" Shanks showed a bit of ridicule.

After all, in the ban issued by the world government, any information related to the "final island" Ralph Drew is strictly prohibited.

That is to say, from the standpoint of the navy, the relationship with the "ultimate island" Love Drew is a secret that cannot be understood.

Yan looked at "Red Hair" Shanks quietly, and spoke slowly.

"I have to watch you before the arrival of the large naval forces, to prevent you, a big pirate, from escaping, so please pay attention to your speech at this stage, especially the speech that slanders and smears the world government. I have to hear it very much. It may be recorded and presented to the Isle of Justice as part of your conviction."

"Hahaha...cough..."

"Red Hair" Shanks couldn't help laughing out of breath, and coughed a few times in pain. "Then you guys, let's hear if there are any facts about slandering and slandering the world government."

Immediately, the "red-haired" Shanks, who took a breather, spoke weakly.

"Devil fruit, known as the 'Secret Treasure of the Sea', can endow users with all kinds of strange abilities, and with the continuous development of the fruit, almost all devil fruit users will have some interesting and disorderly changes... "

Yan didn't make a sound, just listened quietly, but secretly thought about it.

"Red Hair" Shanks continued to speak.

"This kind of change is generally called the side effect of the devil fruit, but in fact, this statement is not completely accurate, but it is indeed the devil fruit that makes the devil fruit capable person have this change."

"Besides, why does the devil fruit only need to be eaten in a small bite, and the flesh behind it will not have any effect if other people eat it?"

"And why does a new devil fruit have a high probability of appearing in nearby fruits after the devil fruit user dies?"

Having said that, "Red Hair" Shanks paused and said. "Well, the last one is not common sense, but there is indeed such a rule."

"The reason for the above signs is: the real effect of the devil fruit is the soul of the creature, not the body of the creature."

"Or it can be understood in a popular way. There is a 'devil' enshrined in the devil fruit. The moment the creature bites the devil fruit, the 'devil' will assimilate with the soul of the creature, so that the creature will gain corresponding ability."

"And when the devil fruit user dies, the 'devil' will directly search for fruits in the vicinity to fuse into a new devil fruit in an invisible way with a high probability, and then wait for the next devil fruit ability user Appear."

"Of course, if the consciousness left after the death of the original devil fruit user is strong, it will also affect the speed at which the 'devil' can fuse the fruit, and may wander aimlessly in the sea for a period of time before merging the fruit in an unknown place .”

Chapter 512 Shanks... Saint ([-]rd update)

"and many more……"

Hearing this, Yann suddenly noticed some incredible information and asked. "The influence of the consciousness of the original devil fruit ability user?"

"Redhead" Shanks said.

"I was extremely shocked when I heard this secret at first, but the fact is that's right, the 'demon' of the devil fruit is actually the consciousness aggregate of a large number of devil fruit users."

"As for the inexplicable side effects that seem to become more and more serious as the devil fruit ability users develop their abilities more deeply, in fact, as the fusion of their own souls with the 'demon' deepens, the various aspects of the 'devil' themselves This habit is reflected on the body of the devil fruit ability user."

At this moment, even looking at Yaen's city mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

But after calming down a little, Yann compared the changes of the many devil fruit capable users he knew and the information he knew, and it seemed that this explanation was completely reasonable.

Among them, the most obvious one is Hancock who has been staying with Ian.

As a "sweet fruit" ability user, Hancock was not that kind of extremely proud character at the beginning. Instead, he broke away from his status as a slave and returned to "Nine Snake Island" to start developing his fruit ability. Then his personality gradually developed. this change.

and many more……

Suddenly, Yan suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the way to awaken the "Xu Zhishun Knife" himself.

Before that, Yan always believed that there was some kind of special energy in the devil fruit, so he was absorbing that energy through Zanhun Knife.

Looking at it now, does this mean that I am purifying those "aggregates of consciousness" through Zhanhundao?

Seeing that Yan was lost in thought, "Red Hair" Shanks went on to explain.

"Of course, not every devil fruit user will have serious side effects. According to Captain Roger's guess, this has a great relationship with the first devil fruit ability user, and the subsequent formation of the 'consciousness collection' is also based on the first ability. formed as the core."

"So if the first ability user doesn't have any serious personality defects or behavior habits, the character and behavior of the devil fruit ability user will not be extremely seriously affected."

Ian nodded and said noncommittally. "I see, that's an interesting statement, so do you mean the 'demon' voice by the voice you're talking about?"

"That's right..."

Having said that, "Red Hair" Shanks also revealed a look of inquiry, and said.

"'Listen to the Voice of All Things' can hear the voice of the 'devil', but there is no such voice in your body. There is only one possibility, and that is Lieutenant General Yaen, you are the first devil fruit ability in 'Sakura Fruit' By."

After a pause, "Red Hair" Shanks continued.

"But as far as I know, this kind of devil fruit shouldn't exist in the sea. Where did Lieutenant General Ian find the devil fruit?"

Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his eyes suddenly behind him, only to see dozens of naval warships approaching not far away.

"Sorry, it looks like our chat is coming to an end, Shanks..."

After a pause, Ion continued.

"In addition, congratulations, you have completely ended the precarious pirate life in the past, and you have been able to settle down completely and stably."

"Red Hair" Shanks said with a mysterious smile when he heard the words. "That's not necessarily the case, Lieutenant General Ian."

"Oh?"

Yan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't think so about the reaction of "red-haired" Shanks.

Leaving aside the fact that the whereabouts of "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate and "BIG MOM" Charlotte Lingling are clear, it is impossible to attack the naval fleet.

Even if some top powerhouse of the sea does appear, it is basically impossible to forcibly snatch the "red-haired" Shanks from the hands of Ian and Polusalino.

As for the "red-haired" Shanks, who is completely seriously injured, he may not even be able to move at this time, let alone escape.

Ian smiled and said.

"Is there any pirate who dreams of posting in the big undersea prison. But chatting with you is unexpectedly good. When I have some free time, I will bring good wine to visit you in the big undersea prison."

"Then thank you in advance, but the drinking place may need to be changed..." "Red Hair" Shanks said confidently.

At this moment, Lieutenant Admiral He and Polusalino, who disembarked from the main ship and walked towards Yaen, had quite ugly expressions on their expressions.

Seeing this, Yan realized that something was wrong, and asked first. "what happened?"

Lieutenant General Crane did not answer Yan, but went straight to Shanks, bent slightly, and spoke in a respectful tone.

"Greetings, Saint Shanks, your identity has just been confirmed to me by Master Wu Laoxing. I hope you will not blame the navy for your rude offense."

Shanks... Saint? !

Dragon people! ! !

And unlike the original Tianlong people who were deprived of the title of "World Noble" like Corazon, being able to be crowned with the word "Holy" after the name by Lieutenant General Crane is enough to show that Shanks still has the "World Noble" The title of Tianlongren.

Yan's expression suddenly became extremely subtle and weird.

The "Emperor of the Sea" Shanks who he overthrew turned out to be the "world noble" Tianlongren family? ? ?

what is this?

As a master of this sea, go to the sea to experience the life of a pirate?

And if you think about it carefully, this guy Shanks used to be the crew of "One Piece" Roger. Could it be that this guy was a spy arranged by the world government from the beginning?

Also... It's unlikely, right?Let the "world nobles" Tianlong people be spies...

At this time, "Red Hair" Shanks couldn't help laughing when he saw Yan's weird expression, and said.

"Lieutenant General Yan, I didn't lie to you. If you want to find me for a drink, it's impossible to find me in the submarine prison. How about another place?"

……

yan.

Lieutenant General He continued to speak.

"Please also forgive Lieutenant General Yaen's offense, Saint Shanks, Marshal Warring States will take the initiative to explain the mistakes in action to Wu Laoxing."

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Crane, I am different from those Tianlong people on the Holy Land Mariejoa, and I can't even say that I am offended. The only regret is that this battle failed to kill Lieutenant General Yan. One knife..."

Immediately, "Red Hair" Shanks got up from the ground with great difficulty, walked to Ian's side with difficulty, and said in a low voice.

"My past experience is very special, so I was already a pirate when I was very young. The reason why I know my ancestry as a Celestial Dragon is because the World Government informed me not long ago."

"The current position is actually that of a pirate, and from the position of a pirate, this time you have won, Lieutenant General Ian."

After a pause, "Red Hair" Shanks continued.

"It's just that I still have a mission that must be fulfilled, so I can only use this identity to continue to be active in the sea in shame. If there is another duel, I hope you will not show mercy."

Chapter 513 Lockes Pirates

On the sea area full of fragments left after the collapse of the island, General Polusalino, Vice Admiral Crane, and Vice Admiral Yarn watched as a warship left the fleet and left alone.

And "Red Hair" Shanks was placed on that warship to leave, but in the perception of the rest of the navy, "Red Hair" Shanks was being escorted to Judicial Island at this time.

Soon, there should be a news spread above the sea: "Red Hair" Shanks escaped successfully during the escort.

In this way, not only can he continue to conceal his identity as "Red Hair" Shanks meant, but also preserve the face of the navy and the victory of this war, greatly improving the deterrence of the navy and containing The pirates are getting more and more angry.

Even though there is a suspicion of a surprise attack, defeating two of the four "Sea Emperors" head-on in the "New World" waters is enough to prove that the navy still has the combat power and prestige to maintain the entire sea.

"It's hard to imagine that as a dignified world nobleman, he would become a pirate..." Ian sighed with some doubts in his tone.

But in this way, Ian also understood why in the original trajectory, "Red Hair" Shanks could enter the Holy Land Mariejoa alone as a "Pirate" and meet the five old stars.

If it is a Tianlong person who still maintains the status of "world noble", then it is indeed very easy to enter the holy land of Mary Joa, and he is qualified to meet the five old stars.

After a pause, Yan asked Lieutenant General He. "Lieutenant General He, do you think I should take this opportunity to retire to avoid any accidental honorable sacrifice during my tenure?"

Lieutenant General He cast a glance at Yaen, and replied.

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Saint Shanks' identity as a Celestial Dragon is not wrong. But I am afraid that except for the five old stars, the rest of the Celestial Dragons don't know the identity of Saint Shanks, so are you right? Will be convicted of a felony for offending the Celestial Dragons."

"I see……"

Ion nodded and asked casually. "It's just that Shanks became a pirate for no reason? He is obviously a master who can live on the holy land of Mariejoa."

When talking about this issue, Polusalino, who had been silent all this time, also quietly perked up his ears.

Although the purpose of probing was different from Ian's, the insider gossip related to the supremacy of the world's nobles would undoubtedly deeply stimulate Polusalino's curiosity.

"This one……"

Lieutenant General He thought for a while, turned his eyes, and after seeing that the rest of the navy behind him was quite far away, he turned to speak in a low voice.

"This incident is probably related to the 'Locus Pirates' more than [-] years ago."

"The Rocks Pirates?" Polusalino's expression changed slightly.

Noticing General Polusalino's expression, Lieutenant General Crane said. "It seems that Admiral Polusalino still has an impression of this pirate group."

Polusalino spoke with a rare serious tone.

"That's natural. That was the real overlord of the entire sea at that time, the 'Locus Pirates'! Later, the so-called three legendary pirates: 'Whitebeard' Newgate Edward and 'Golden Lion' Shiji, It’s still the current ‘Four Emperors’: Kaido from ‘Hundred Beasts’, Charlotte Lingling from ‘BIG MOM’ and many other big pirates are just the remnants of that pirate group.”

"That's right..."

Lieutenant General He nodded and said immediately. "However, regarding the demise of the 'Locks Pirates', perhaps Admiral Polusalino may not be clear because of his age and status at the time."

"Actually, more than [-] years ago, not all of the Tianlong people lived on the holy land of Mariejoa. A considerable number of Tianlong people who prefer to live near the sea live in a place called 'God'. the supersized islands of 'Valley'."

"Of course, that island has completely disappeared in the sea, just like the island in front of me, the 'Valley of the Gods' was also completely wiped out during the war."

Yan listened intently and asked. "Because of the 'Locus Pirates'?"
