"Brigadier General Porusalino, the information you want." The adjutant placed the information on the table and then stepped aside respectfully.

The man who was trimming his nails with a nail clipper glanced at the information, slowly put the nail clipper aside, picked up the information and flipped through it.

The attitude can be called undisciplined.

"The Behemoth Pirates~What a strange name~" Porusalino pouted habitually, looking emotional.

The adjutant responded respectfully: "Yes, it is said that the captain's fruit ability is related to beast taming. And I recently received information that the Behemoth Pirates plan to hold a carnival on a Behemoth Island in the New World, and have distributed event flyers to the New World. .”

Porusalino mouthed in amazement: "Yeah~ Such a big battle, worthy of the pirate force backed by the golden lion~ It's so scary~"

adjutant:……

The commander keeps saying how scary it is all day long, I have become accustomed to it...

The adjutant rolled his eyes and complained inwardly: In fact, you are the one who is terrible, sir, right?

"That is to say, can everyone participate, whether they are marines, pirates or people who have nothing to do with it?"

"Yes!"

Porusalino was holding the information in his hand, looking thoughtful, when he suddenly heard noise coming from outside.

He put down the information, blinked, and asked, "Yeah~ what happened?"

People have stood up and walked out.

The adjutant quickly followed.

G-1 Naval Branch, Port.

As soon as Porusalino walked out of the gate of the G-1 branch, he saw the naval herald running towards him.

The other party stood in front of him and saluted, and conveyed the order with a serious expression: "Comodore Polusalino, the Warring States General has asked you to go to the conference room of the Foguo for a meeting."

Porusalino was stunned for a moment and looked up at the noisy port.

Both of the navy's top battleships suffered varying degrees of damage, and the bow of one of them even had deep marks cut off.

The soldiers of the formation directly under General Sengoku were calling the soldiers of the G-1 branch to call doctors and ship repairmen.

Porusalino couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

So after leaving the headquarters conference room, Sengoku-san went straight to the battlefield without even having time to take him with him?

You are really hardworking~

He told the herald that he would be there in a moment, and then ordered the adjutant behind him to call for help, while he turned and walked towards Sengoku's exclusive car.

As one of the generals directly under the general's side during the Warring States Period, the soldiers on board the Foguo all knew him and would salute him every time they passed by.

His white cloak fluttered in the wind as he walked, and as he responded to the soldiers who greeted him respectfully one by one, Porusalino walked lazily but without losing speed to the door of the conference room.

When you open the door, you will see a huge oval table and serious-looking colleagues sitting around the table.

However, Sengoku-san, who was wearing a bandage and looking ugly, and Sakaski, who was wearing a red suit and covered in water next to him, attracted the most attention.

Seeing him come in, Sengoku straightened his expression: "Polusalino, find a seat and sit down."

Porusalino looked surprised: "Yeah~Did something happen? Sengoku-san's expression is so scary~"

Sakaski glanced at him, and Porusalino stopped asking, pulled out the chair next to Sakaski and sat on it.

Soon after sitting down, other generals who were called soon arrived. At this time, Warring States stood up: "Well, now the meeting begins."

At the same time, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates sat together and discussed.

"In other words, all the fruit abilities of everyone on the ship disappeared at that moment?"

Bista's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't have the fruit ability so he couldn't feel that moment, but whether it was his father, Marco, or Jozi who were watching the battle at the time, they all clearly felt the disappearance of the fruit ability.

Qiaozi also described it to him honestly: "It just disappeared in a blink of an eye, very suddenly."

Bista:…

Lacey frowned: "But it's strange! Why does this happen? I've never heard of the disadvantages of poor contact with fruit abilities."

Especially during the critical period of the battle between the two sides, everyone felt the loss of their abilities at the same time.

It doesn't look like a coincidence.

Others also felt that something was fishy, ​​but they couldn't figure it out, so they all remained silent.

Marco crossed his arms and sat cross-legged on the ground. He pondered for a moment and raised his head and asked Whitebeard: "Dad, what do you think?"

Whitebeard looked around at the serious-looking sons and daughters, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Why do you care so much? Saatchi, do you have wine? Bring the wine."

They had just experienced a hearty battle not long ago. Although it ended hastily with him and Sengoku quarreling with each other and falling into the sea, Whitebeard still felt that this was the best time to drink and have a banquet.

Everyone was helpless after hearing what their father meant.

"Dad, isn't this the time to drink?"

"You mean, your ability has disappeared? Don't you think it's strange?"

“What if it happens again in the future?”

"After all, fruit ability is also an important part of combat power!"

Everyone was talking about it, and they were all speechless about their father's big heart.

Whitebeard's face turned into a tiger, and he said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and bring me some wine."

Then he raised his lips and said boldly: "Young men, being able to survive battle after battle is worth celebrating, so..."

He raised his head and laughed loudly: "It's time for a party, you brats!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they all smiled helplessly and raised their arms in response: "Oh~"

As for the strange incident of the fruit's ability disappearing, most people ignored it according to their father's choice, but a small number of people were still discussing it.

On the edge of the noisy crowd, Bista looked at Marco: "Marco, what do you think about this?"

Marco pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked the pirate with a big head: "Leix, what do you think?"

Leakes sat on the railing and tilted his head when he heard this, with a distressed look on his face: "Actually, I don't know what happened, I just remember..."

He recalled the situation at that time and showed his hands to Marco: "My ability is to control the objects I come into contact with to change their shape. At that time, I originally planned to tie up the mermaid and hand it over to my father. Unexpectedly, my ability suddenly disappeared and Fei flew away. The whip that went out also fell to the ground.”

Marco looked at Jozi again: "What about you, Jozi? Have you noticed anything strange?"

Qiao Zi rolled his eyes upward, looking like he was reminiscing: "At that time, I was standing at the stern of the boat watching the duel between Dad and Sengoku, but I didn't notice anything strange."

Marco held his chin in thought.

At this time, Lakyo said: "The only thing I know about the power that can make the fruit's ability disappear is the Sea Tower Stone, but it is obviously not the work of the Navy."

Bista frowned: "Not sure, maybe Warring States doesn't want us to notice it?"

Everyone discussed for a while with no results. At this time, Yi Zang came over and said, "Why don't you go drink? What are you doing here?"

The four of them looked at Yi Zang, when Marco suddenly stood up, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Forget it, if you don't understand, just let it go for now, and we'll go have a drink too~"

So the four of them, plus Jizo, quickly merged into the large army, punching and drinking, forgetting about the disappearance of the fruit's abilities.

"Behemoth Island Carnival? The winner will receive a prize of 300 million beli?"

As soon as Riley turned his head, he saw the familiar and soft little girl's arm on his shoulder, bending down to look down at the flyer in his hand.

From his angle, he could see the little girl's fair profile, thick eyelashes that trembled slightly, and flesh-pink lips that moved rapidly as she read out each word.

Lei Li composed himself and said amusedly: "What? Want to go?"

Zenia twirled her fingers and pulled the flyer out of Rayleigh's hand, then glanced at Roger who was rushing towards the bow of the ship like the wind behind him.

The little girl jumped up and raised the flyer in her hand, and swung her long aqua-blue hair into two braids: "Brother Roger, Brother Roger, do you want to go to the Island of Behemoths?"

Reilly: ...

After hearing this, Roger turned around and said with a hahaha, "Of course, girl, you happen to be here, so just go with us!"

Zheniya raised her chin, her eyes bright, full of expectation for the unknown: "Of course!"

These two know each other's thoughts clearly and make no secret of it!

Rayleigh put his forehead on his palms and sighed.

At this time, Jabba came up to her in a cowardly manner: "Tsk, tsk, that girl is very smart. She knows that you have no say in this boat."

Lei Li raised his head, looked over coldly, and suddenly smiled: "Are you very free?"

Although that smile was still handsome and handsome, it carried an indescribable cold and evil aura.

Jabba:…

He silently took two steps back, touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I'm going to divert to the Island of Giant Beasts! I still have to be at the helm."

Rayleigh stood up and patted the dust on his pants. He walked directly towards the two people on the bow without even bothering him.

Rayleigh's mellow voice with a slight smile came from the air: "Girl, weren't you practicing archery just now? What was the result?"

"Spencer has taught me the basics, but I still can't hit the target."

"Come here and I'll teach you!"

"Huh? Brother Rayleigh knows how to bow and arrow?"

"No problem letting you hit the bullseye!"

"Then~ Brother Roger, we are going to train!"

"Go, go, let me enjoy the sea breeze here!"

Jabba, who was left behind and completely ignored:...

At this moment, several hands stretched out from behind and dragged Jabba into the darkness on the side.

Jabba stared blankly at the guys gathered in a circle in front of him.

Dorlingo, who was shorter, was the first to speak: "Hey Jabba, do you think something's been wrong with the vice-captain lately?"

Momola glanced at him and pushed his head down: "Idiot, anyone with eyes can see it. Let's get to the point."

Tongino held a cigarette in his mouth and got straight to the point: "Did you talk to the deputy captain after leaving Mermaid Island? Do you mind telling us?"

The others nodded with serious expressions and stared at Jabba with bright eyes.

Jabba's face was speechless: "Looking at your expressions, I would probably be disappointed if I didn't tell you."

Tsk, don’t you just want to hear gossip?

...ψ(`?′)ψIt just so happens that I also want to share it with others!

A group of people chattered in the corner, looking more like conspiracy than sharing gossip.

Rayleigh put his arm around the little girl's shoulders and led her to the training area. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Jababy, who was surrounded by everyone, gesticulating and talking non-stop.

Rayleigh narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed.

It seems that these guys on the boat have been too busy recently!

Zenia didn't know what was going on with Jabba, let alone that anyone was discussing topics about her.

She was discussing her abilities with Rayleigh.

"...I think I can use my ability to condense water into arrows, so I don't have to worry about not having enough arrows when facing the enemy."

Lei Li came back to his senses, lowered his head and saw the little girl's smiling face, and chuckled: "Have you tried it?"

Zheniya pointed her index finger on her chin and shook her head with a cute expression: "I just have such an idea, but I haven't tested it yet."

Lei Li smiled: "Why don't we try this idea next!"

At this time, Shanks and Bucky were standing on the temporarily opened training ground and waving to Zenia, and the little girl ran over happily.

The cool, warm and tender feeling in his palm disappeared. Looking at the little girl jumping and running away, Rayleigh lowered his eyes and looked at his palm.

Today, the little girl is wearing a white one-shoulder midriff-baring vest. The career line on her chest is bulging. Her soft and white waistline has no trace of fat. The curves are uneven, white, tender and smooth. Wearing ultra-short jeans, she reveals her smooth, white and slender legs. She wears small transparent strappy sandals and looks lively and cute while jumping up and down.

"Brother Leili, hurry up and follow me!" From the front, the soft and sweet call of the little girl came.

Lei Li looked away from his palms with complicated eyes, and quickly raised the corners of his lips and sighed helplessly: "Here it comes." Then he took steps to follow.

*

After training in archery, and brainstorming with Bucky, Shanks and Rayleigh on how to use several abilities, Zenia lay down on the deck in a giant shape of tiredness.

The cool sea breeze dissipated the heat generated by exercise and took away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She immersed herself in the gentle sea breeze and closed her eyes comfortably.

At this time, there was a shadow covering the top of her head, and Zheniya opened her eyes subconsciously.

The cold touch pressed against her cheek, and Zheniya subconsciously closed one eye and shrank her neck to avoid it.

A chuckle came from above.

Zenia looked closely and saw that it was Rayleigh.

He was holding a cold drink in front of her eyes.

"For me?" Zheniya got up and took it from his hand. It felt cold when she took a sip. The cold feeling flowed down her throat and into her heart and lungs, and her pores opened in relief.

Riley put the cold drink to his lips and found it very interesting to see the little girl drinking.

Especially the lips moistened by the juice became more and more crystal clear and moist, which inevitably reminded him of the kiss in the sea...

Feeling the gaze, Zhenia blinked and looked over in confusion: "What's wrong, Brother Rayleigh?" Then she thought that the surroundings were a little too quiet. After looking around for a while, she didn't see any familiar figures and asked again: "Shanks and Where’s Bucky?”

Rayleigh did not look away: "...They said they wanted to eat shaved ice and went to find Yamon."

Zheniya nodded, said oh, and continued to drink the iced drink in her hand.

Reilly suddenly noticed the iron bracelet on the little girl's fair wrist. His eyes flickered, and he pointed at the bracelet and asked, "I remember you found a lot of beautiful jewelry, why do you still wear such a nondescript one?"

Zheniya looked in the direction he pointed, then shook her wrist: "Ah, you said this!" Thinking that even Rayleigh knew her ability, she didn't hide it: "I did this myself. , a bracelet used to store things.”

Storing something?

Reilly immediately thought of the little girl's behavior of taking out herbs from her chest when they met for the second time. He couldn't help but want to laugh, but he was still surprised and asked: "So you still have such an ability?"

In addition to controlling sea water, this girl also gives humans the ability to breathe underwater... According to Roger, the Neptunes also call her the incarnation of the sea, the source of evolution, etc...

It's an incredible ability just by itself, but now there's an ability that can open up space...

Rayleigh couldn't help but feel lucky that he and Neptune had discussed Zenia's identity and asked the Sea Tribe royal family to include her in their protection.

Although the mermaids are discriminated against by humans, few people dare to provoke them if they are from the royal family.

His thoughts returned to the present, and Reilly asked with a smile: "How much can it hold?"

Zheniya thought for a while: "About two or three cubic meters."

Not too small, and very convenient.

“Can everything be used as a storage tool?”

"No~ This is actually a stone I found on the bottom of the sea. I can control this stone and create this kind of space in the stone, and nothing else can."

A special stone?

Riley leaned over, grabbed the girl's wrist, and looked at the bracelet carefully.

Zenia was stunned, tilted her head and asked: "Brother Leili, does he know what this is?"

Lei Li let her go naturally and pondered for a moment before saying, "This material, if I'm not mistaken, should be seastone."

Hailou stone...

Zenia stared at the bracelet blankly.

In fact, she had doubts when she first found this kind of stone, but she had never seen a sea floor stone so there was no way to compare it.

Now that Lei Li said this, she subconsciously felt that what the other party said was right.

"Hailou Stone is currently only confirmed to be produced in Wano Country, and it is difficult to see it in other places." Rayleigh saw what she was thinking at a glance, explained with a smile, and then asked again when the little girl looked over: " Do you want to give it a try?”

give it a try?

Zenia looked at Rayleigh with a confused expression.

The cute little appearance made Rayleigh smile: "The outside world has said that there are no people with fruit abilities on our ship, but in fact there are."

Zenia blinked.

Not only are there rumors that there are no people with abilities on Roger's ship, but the seamies from another dimension also think so, and now Rayleigh actually says that there are people with abilities on their ship?

She subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"

"Douglas Barrett."

Zenia:......

Why did you forget this big guy?

Zenia:! ! !

By the way, when did that guy get on the ship?

*

When Shanks and Bucky came back with shaved ice in hand, they found that the little girl and the deputy captain who were originally lying on the deck were gone.

The two looked at each other.

Shanks looked at the two-person shaved ice in his hand and sighed in disappointment: "I even brought one specially for Zenia!"

Bucky complained: "And the vice-captain, he clearly said he wanted to eat, but where are they now?"

At this time, Blumarin passed by, and the two of them rushed up to ask.

Blumarin scratched the back of his head and shook his head: "I don't know, why don't you ask other people." Then he turned around to deal with the newly brought herbs by Zenia.

The two looked at each other and slowly began to search on the boat.

*

At this moment, outside the door of Douglas Barrett's room, Zenia stood beside Reilly, blinking at the door with big eyes, her curiosity almost overflowing.

The door opened quickly, and a tall and muscular figure appeared in the shadow inside the door.

The man has long, slightly curly light yellow hair, earmuffs on his ears, and is dressed in a dark military uniform.

At this moment, the man looked at them expressionlessly, his ghost-like sinister pupils flashing with cold light, and a bloody, violent and inhumane aura hit his face.

Zenia:! ! !

Can you believe it? A guy with such a figure and an air of being not to be messed with is only 16 years old! ! !

Zheniya's eyes were wide open, her expression was beautiful and innocent, like a small animal facing a ferocious beast, her big eyes flashed suddenly and she looked unexpectedly well-behaved.

Zheniya:???I really don’t dare to move! Compared to Rayleigh and others who were reserved, this guy's strength was as unabashed as his emotions.

Riley glanced at the little girl's expression and almost laughed.

In terms of understanding current affairs, Lei Li has really never served anyone, but this girl is definitely an exception.

So Rayleigh got straight to the point: "Sorry to bother you."

Barrett's gloomy eyes glanced around the two of them and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

It was provocative as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lei Li took it for granted and looked at the little girl beside him: "Please help me see if the thing on her wrist is a sea tower stone."

Barrett: ...

He was almost like, 'You fucking knocked on my door for such a boring thing? ’ It’s written on your face.

Rayleigh had a smile on his face, exuding an aura that could not be refused.

Barrett squinted his eyes and looked at Reilly for two seconds, and finally focused on Zenia.

Zheniya felt like she was being targeted by a ferocious beast. Goosebumps all over her body exploded in an instant, and coldness shot up from the soles of her feet to Tianling Gai.

She shivered from the cold.

Zenia was silent for two seconds, then suddenly took off the bracelet on her wrist. She closed her young hands and held it up. She smiled sweetly and smiled softly: "Please, Mr. Barrett."

Barrett: ...

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Is this girl not afraid of him?

At this time, Reilly told Barrett: "Although the girl is not from our ship, she is Roger's sister."

Barrett's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Riley in disbelief.

It was written clearly on his face: How could such a powerful man have such a weak sister? Are you joking?

A thought flashed through my mind: It doesn’t look like it was born from the same mother!

Zheniya: (lll¬w¬) I understand unexpectedly!
