From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"Do human expectations interfere with the rules?"

"There is no relevant record in the Zerg database."

"Is it really possible?"

"But the universe is so vast that nothing is impossible. The universe is magnificent and magical. Even the Zerg at their peak are just a drop in the ocean of the vast universe."

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren smiled freely.

"Yeah. You're right."

“It’s too early to think about these issues now.”

"As long as we continue to grow stronger, the mystery of the devil fruit will be solved one day."

Kerrigan chuckled twice, then tried to test the waters: "There is a way to speed up your understanding of devil fruits. Do you want to try it?"

Xia Jieren's curiosity was aroused. "Yes, of course. But how do we do it?"

Kerrigan also showed her true colors at this time and said directly: "It's simple, just put the devil fruit in the extraction chamber."

When Xia Jieren heard this, he immediately jumped up and hugged his devil fruit tightly like a husky protecting its food. "What do you want to do? Don't have any bad thoughts about my devil fruit."

What a joke! This is the treasure he had lost and found again. How could he give it away so easily?

Kerrigan immediately said coquettishly: "How could I have that?"

"I just wanted to see if I could discover how the Devil Fruit works."

"My Lord, aren't you curious?"

When Xia Jieren thought about it, he felt a little eager.

Kerrigan then tempted, "Just think about it, if we figure out the principle of devil fruits, we might be able to mass-produce them."

Xia Jieren was dizzy with the promise Kerrigan made.

He was about to agree, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. "Forget it, Devil Fruits are not that easy to study. It won't be too late to study them later if we find other useless Devil Fruits."

"This is my first devil fruit. It is very memorable."

Kerrigan nodded regretfully, acknowledging Xia Jieren's words. "Master, you must get me some devil fruits to study."

Xia Jieren patted his chest and promised that he would not go back on his word.

At this time, Xia Jieren was in a dilemma again. "Should I eat this devil fruit or not?"

"No, we don't know what ability this devil fruit has yet. If it turns out to be a bad ability, then we're done for."

"Eat, this is a devil fruit. There are no rubbish devil fruits, only rubbish devil fruit users. Although this statement is not entirely correct, it does make sense. As long as it is developed well, it can still be very strong."

"No, the origin of the devil fruit is unknown. What if there is a trick in the devil fruit? Just like many netizens have speculated, there is a devil fruit tree, which can control all devil fruits and then control all users with special abilities."

"Eat, those are probably just speculations by netizens. Vegapunk also said that devil fruits are created by people's desires."

"No, the devil fruit has too many disadvantages. It is afraid of sea water, seastone, and armed color domineering. Isn't this adding weaknesses to myself?"

"Eat, you are a weakling to begin with. As long as you can become stronger, it doesn't matter if you gain a little weakness."

In Xia Jieren's mind, two little demons were constantly fighting against each other.

Shaking his head, Xia Jieren got rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind and decided not to eat.

Xia Jieren didn't trust his luck.

The goddess of luck rarely favors him. As long as it is a matter of luck, he is guaranteed to lose nine times out of ten.

Solemnly place the devil fruit into a square glass container.

These glass containers were specially made by Xia Jieren and Chong Er. Sixteen of them were made at once, mainly for storing devil fruits.

Xia Jieren carefully placed the glass container on the shelf next to the desk.

Coming to the bedside, Xia Jieren looked at the devil fruit on the shelf, his heart filled with joy.

"Decorating the bedroom with gold, jewels, and jade is simply too 'low'. Precious items like devil fruits look more comfortable."

......

Kingdom of the Netherlands, royal palace conference room, round conference table.

Queen Litte sat in the first seat, with the old butler standing behind her dutifully. On her right sat Xia Jieren, followed by Chong Yi, Chong Er, and Renzo Miles.

In order to better integrate into the society, Chongyi and Chonger gave themselves a new name, Leto Wooda and Ferren Oliva respectively.

In any case, it sounds better than the name Xia Jieren came up with out of laziness.

Leto Woodard is the current Marshal of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in charge of all the armies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Ferran Oliva is the head of the Hall of Truth and is in charge of all scientific research.

As for Renzo Miles, he is an intelligent insect man hatched by Xia Jieren in order to better manage the Kingdom of the Netherlands. He is the current Chairman of the Cabinet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and manages the government agencies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

I don't know what Queen Litte was thinking, but she voluntarily gave up control of the kingdom.

"As long as the people of the kingdom can live happily, I will be satisfied." Queen Litt said frankly.

When she said this, the radiance emitted by Litte was so dazzling that it almost blinded Xia Jieren's eyes. In short, compared with Queen Litte, Xia Jieren still felt a little ashamed in his heart. Only a little bit.

All in all, for Xia Jieren, Litte's initiative to give in was a good thing.

From then on, Xia Jieren was very proactive in asking Miles to report to Litt. He respected Litt's opinions on some small matters and ostensibly gave her the rights and status that she deserved as a king.

The two sides get along very well.

Back to topic.

When everyone was seated, Wu Da spoke first.

"Queen Litt, Lord Overlord, after the reforms over this period of time, the army has been streamlined to about 100,000 people, and the reserve force is kept at 60,000. According to Lord Overlord's plan, 30,000 troops are stationed in Eastport, the capital, and the Eastport of the Netherlands, and the remaining 10,000 troops are distributed in coastal towns. After training, the army now has preliminary combat effectiveness. I believe it won't be long before it can become a disciplined force."

Xia Jieren already knew about these situations, so he was not surprised.

Queen Litt was stunned by Woodard's efficiency and blurted out.

"It's only been less than half a month, how come it's so fast?"

Looking at Queen Litte's slightly opened cherry lips, Xia Jieren suddenly felt eager to perform.

"Ahem! Litte, there's no need to be so surprised."

"My people are so efficient. They can't be compared with those nobles who are so slow."

Queen Litt looked sideways at Xia Jieren, tilted her head, and asked curiously, "What about training the army? How come the training of the army is so fast?"

"I remember that my father trained the Royal Guards before, but it took more than a year to train them to have initial combat capabilities."

Hey!
