Dragon Slayer of Pirate World

2 month 2 day.

Of course, there is no such thing as "February [-], the dragon raises its head" in this world, but Leiter still got a refreshing haircut, and then took a comfortable hot spring bath in the officers' bathroom at the headquarters.

As Devil Fruit users, although the bath water is very different from sea water, it still causes a strong sense of weakness in their bodies, so for Leiter, taking a bath is actually a luxury.

Well wait a minute

He suddenly remembered one thing.

Why does Empress Hancock seem to be normal when taking a shower?

Leiter's heart moved slightly.

Could it be that the discomfort with bath water or even sea water can be overcome to a certain extent through exercise?

He reached out and picked up a handful of clear hot springs from the bathtub. His thoughtful face was reflected in the water:

"It's decided, I will take a bath twice a day from now on."

Taking a bath is also a way to exercise.

"Excuse me, are you Colonel Bolderet from the 16th branch of the East China Sea?"

Leiter had just dried his hair when a soldier from his headquarters knocked on the door.

Judging from the style of the uniform and the epaulettes, this is just a third-class private responsible for delivering orders.

"Yes."

He nodded.

The third-class soldier saluted:

"Colonel Leiter, please go to the eighth conference room of the headquarters after lunch. At that time, the headquarters will evaluate your promotion."

With Leite's illustrious military exploits in the East China Sea, and his outstanding performance in easily defeating the lieutenant general of his headquarters, it is not unexpected to be promoted. After all, no one can cover up his strength.

"I know about the eighth conference room, please come and inform me."

Leiter nodded and asked casually:

"If it's convenient, could you tell me what kind of program this is?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment and then answered him:

"As usual, the evaluation of brigadier generals is presided over by the lieutenant general of the headquarters, and at least two lieutenant generals and three major generals will participate. As for the specific personnel and content, they are all temporarily determined."

Leiter nodded to him for the third time:

"Thank you."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

When Leiter knocked on the door of the eighth conference room, he had no idea who might be sitting there.

But when he walked into the conference room, he almost sprained his ankle.

Sitting at the review table was none other than his instructor in the elite camp, Zefa.

Zefa had a cigar in his mouth, shaking slightly as he spoke:

"Don't be nervous, Rhett, everything is routine."

On the other side of Zefa, there was an old woman with gray hair and a stooped figure.

Among the senior officials of the headquarters, the most famous old woman is of course Garp, Lieutenant General and Chief Staff Officer He who was in the same era during the Warring States Period.

As for the other three major generals and the recording staff sitting in the back row, Leiter didn't recognize any of them, but he followed etiquette and gave a military salute gracefully after entering the door, and then sat down opposite the five people.

A major general with a mustache coughed:

"Colonel Leiter, I am Major General Sicily of this headquarters. These two are Major General Katakonpo and Major General Kadaru. Today we will conduct the final review of your promotion. I hope you will answer our questions truthfully."

Sure enough, they are three names that I have never heard of before.

Leiter complained in his mind.

In the Navy Headquarters, which is known as a gathering of elites, even ordinary lieutenant generals are like cannon fodder, let alone major generals and brigadiers who have no sense of existence.

Anyway, in Leiter's memory, in the navy that maintains order in the sea, it seems that except for the three generals and Garp in the original book, everyone else is either doing nothing and cannot even catch a pirate worth tens of millions, or else they are... Anyone who behaves recklessly and arrests a few historians will be issued a demon-slaying order.

Of course, even the three generals and Garp have black spots on their bodies:

Akainu participated in O'Hara's demon-slaying order and never blinked when attacking civilians; Aokiji, who also participated in the battle, went all out to attack the demon's son Nico Robin. Later, when he met a pirate, he pretended not to know him and even encouraged him to do so. The thieves are united, aggressive, and create greater glory; while Kizaru, who seems to be proactive when it comes to eliminating the pirates, is actually loud and clear, he is also suspected of being an undercover agent of the reactionaries.

As for the hero Garp, he not only adopted the son of the Pirate King, but also allowed his own son to become a reactionary. Even when performing official duties, he was equally irresponsible. Even a handcuffed branch colonel could kill him with an axe. cut down and run away

With such a navy, I really don’t know how the World Government has been able to maintain its rule for 800 years.

Of course, it was impossible to talk openly about the complaints in his heart. In fact, when Sicily and other major generals raised questions, Leiter's answers were all satisfactory without exception.

"How did you get your devil fruit?"

"My sister Nokigao discovered it when she was picking oranges. I accidentally took a bite and almost vomited."

"What are the specific aspects of your fruit abilities?"

"I think the battle between me and Lieutenant General Dalmatian a few months ago should have made it clear. I can control plants and land for defense and offense, and I can also perform some related applications based on these two types of objects, such as leveling the land. , plant trees, tap water sources, etc. Considering these aspects, this fruit is very convenient."

"You were born in the East China Sea, what are your thoughts about this sea area?"

"The East China Sea has always been regarded as a symbol of peace, and it will continue to be so in the future."

"In the elite camp, you mastered the Sixth Form of the Navy in just one month. You are known as a rare genius, and you are also able to skillfully use Haki. Considering your age, it is definitely a very rare qualification. Just At present, what do you think are your shortcomings in your abilities?”

"I have just started to learn the Six Styles. To master them, I need a lot of training and actual combat to hone them. In addition, I have not learned the Armed Color Haki yet, and I don't know if I can inspire the Overlord Color Haki. If I encounter If I encounter a powerful natural Devil Fruit user, I will most likely be helpless, even for a novice like Smoker."

"Your earliest recommender was General Kizaru Polusalino. What is your relationship with him?"

"At that time, the Arlong Pirates invaded our village. I had just eaten the fruit and barely repelled them. General Kizaru happened to pass by and witnessed all this. Maybe he appreciated my courage to fight tenaciously. He then He suggested that I join the Navy. Other than that, he and I never met again."

Although some questions seemed to be somewhat targeted, overall, Leiter did not feel that anyone was making things difficult for him.

After all, his strength has been widely known. Not only Zefa favors him, but also Warring States and Garp have made no secret of their admiration for this young man. How could they make things difficult for him in the mere review of promotion to brigadier general?

Major General Sicily and others quickly ended the questions, signed their names on the review document, and then handed it to the two senior leaders with higher positions.

Lieutenant General He, the chief staff officer, put the document on the table, folded his hands to support his chin, and smiled slightly:

"Seeing young people become active, we once again feel that time flies."

When she was young, she was known as the most beautiful woman in the navy. Time had already taken away her appearance, and even her mouth was a little dry and leaky.

But Leiter felt a strong pressure under the old woman's gaze.

He didn't know what was special about Ahe, but he knew in his heart that the old woman who could serve as the chief staff officer of the headquarters must be a thoughtful and meticulous person. In these aspects, she was probably better than Sengoku, Garp, and Zefa and the three generals will be even more difficult to deal with.

"My Devil Fruit is the Washing Fruit," Ahe said unhurriedly. "It has the ability to wash any item. Even the sinful thoughts hidden in my heart can be purified. Therefore, I am often responsible for cleaning up any items." Do you understand that new general officers carry out ideological education work?"

Leiter's heart trembled involuntarily.

The ability to purify the mind
