My Code Name is Ryokugyu - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Sea Secret Treasure
“If you can become a disciple of Zephyr.”
Jon’s eyes flashed. Although he has been working hard for more than ten years, there is a big difference between having a teacher and no teacher. Although his father can also give him guidance, he is not the same as the admiral Zephyr Grade.
Therefore, after hearing the news from his father, he was really tempted.
Even if he has always pursued the principle that before he has enough strength, he must be stubborn, but now such a good opportunity is in front of him, how can he be willing to give up.
“Dad, if you want me to go to the navy headquarters, what are your requirements?”
Jon knew very well that this time the navy headquarters wanted to recruit talent, not waste, and there must be certain requirements.
Walson replied: “Each branch can only report one quota, under 30 years old, and the final score of the candidate will be linked to the performance of the branch. If the performance of the candidate is too poor, the branch influence will be affected.”
“Such a request is taken for granted.”
Jon is not surprised to have such a request. Under 30 years old is the most critical period for a person to grow up. If you are over 30 years old, you will have a certain shape. Unless you are really full of potential, why not become stronger earlier. So, young people under thirty were selected.
The performance of the candidate is linked to the branch to which it belongs, and it is also to prevent some people from using power for personal gain and random selection.
It can be seen from this that this time the navy headquarters is to gather geniuses, not cannon fodder soldiers.
“Dad, this time, I’m going to the navy headquarters.”
Jon didn’t shirk or hesitate, and directly stated his decision.
Walson nodded affirmatively and said, “Of course, I am going to report your name directly this time. Although there are several outstanding candidates in the base, you are my son, no matter how much I pay, this place, It will definitely be yours.”
Such an opportunity is what many people want to break their heads, but Walson is not prepared to conduct internal selections for his son.
At this time, of course, he has to consider his son. For this, he can accept no matter how high the price is paid.
Jon could understand his father’s thoughts, so he didn’t say much. It would be the same for him. No matter how close and good the relationship is, how can other people compare with his own son.
“Dad, I will trouble you. You can tell other people that as long as I can stand firmly in the navy headquarters, I will not treat them badly in the future.”
Walson laughed heartily: “This is what I think about, so don’t think about it too much.”
One month later!
The shuttle ship sent by the navy headquarters will arrive at the 47 branch base tomorrow. The night before leaving, Walson called Jon to his office.
“Jon, you are going to board the ship to the navy headquarters tomorrow. Before that, there is one thing for you.”
I saw that Walson came to the corner of the office, tapped against the wall a few times, and then gently pushed, and a hidden compartment appeared on the wall, and there was a small safe inside.
After opening the safe, Walson carefully took out a wooden box and placed it in front of Jon.
Seeing his father’s cautiously nervous appearance, Jon suddenly felt that there must be important items in this wooden box.
“About three years ago, in an operation to encircle and suppress pirates, I got a great treasure. I did not hold back my greed and seized it privately. It has been kept until now. Now I want to give it to you.”
With a serious expression on Walson’s face, Jon also became nervous,
“Devil Fruit.”
“Devil Fruit?”
When Jon heard these words, his face was shocked, and he looked at his father incredulously.
Devil fruit, this is a special kind of fruit in One Piece anime. After eating it, you can obtain certain superpowers. Although it is called a devil, for many people, it is also the secret treasure of the sea, the treasure of the sea.
There are three types of devil fruits, Paramecia devil fruits, Logia devil fruits, and Zoan devil fruits; even the worst common Zoan devil fruits have a market price of at least 100 million Baileys.
A devil fruit can turn an ordinary person into a strong person in an instant. Its value is really inestimable, but at the price, the eater will be disgusted by the sea and become a duck, lose strength in the sea and cannot swim.
For many people, taking the devil fruit is a shortcut to becoming a strong man. Jon never thought that his father actually hid a devil fruit.
Walson opened the wooden box. Inside, there was a green fruit, which resembled an enlarged version of a peach. The difference was that the surface of the fruit was covered with a ‘Tang grass’ spiral pattern, giving it an extra Kind of mystery.
“Is this the devil fruit?”
Jon, who saw the Devil Fruit for the first time, opened his eyes wide, looking at the green fruit, his heart was full of surprise.
“Yes, it is the devil fruit, and only the devil fruit can be left without deterioration for several years.” Walson said.
Looking at this devil fruit, for some reason, Jon was not greedy. Instead, he asked curiously: “Dad, since you got it three years ago, why don’t you eat it? In that case, you can get some kind of superpower, which greatly improves your strength.”
Walson said in a deep voice: “Nevertheless, you need to take a risk if you eat it. Not to mention what abilities you will get, but you can’t swim. This is fatal to me who has been fighting at sea all year round.”
Jon nodded, and it was true. Many people recognized the power of the Devil Fruit and instinctively ignored its weakness.
But in fact, the weakness of inability to swim is really fatal at certain times. If you are fighting at sea, if you accidentally fall into the sea and no one can rescue you, you can only wait to die.
Not everyone can have reliable companions who are worthy of entrusting their lives.
“Furthermore, I am already old. Even if I eat it and acquire a certain ability, it is difficult to develop how strong it is. So I keep it and prepare to give it to you in the future and let you decide.”
Walson looked at Jon with scorching eyes: “Jon, you are different from me. Your talent is much stronger than mine. You have a bright future. What you lack is just an opportunity. Now this opportunity is here, and It may allow you to seize this opportunity.”
“You want me to eat it?” Jon asked.
Walson shook his head and said, “No, I have searched for a long time, but I haven’t found out what the ability of this fruit is. I don’t have the courage to eat it, and naturally I won’t force you. I just give it to You, let you choose.”
“Any choice has two sides. In the end, it is for an unknown ability to add fatal weakness to yourself; or to give up it. Only you can make a decision.”
He patted Jon on the shoulder and handed the wooden box to Jon. Walson said, “Everything I can do, I have done it, and then I can only rely on you.”
“How to deal with this devil fruit? Before you reach the base of the headquarters, you must make a decision. If you decide to eat it, then that’s all; but if you don’t want to eat it, then you must give it to the headquarters. For the headquarters, this is an important strategic material. If you donate it, it will definitely give you a certain amount of credit, which will be very convenient for you in the future.”
Jon took this devil fruit, and only felt that it was extremely heavy. This is not only a devil fruit, but also his father’s expectation and heart. He has made plans for his father’s visit to the navy headquarters, and Paid too much.
“Dad, don’t worry, I will not let you down.”
For nothing else, even if it is for the father who wants his son to be successful, he will definitely be in this selection.
“I believe you!”
