"No, I was fooled."

On his way to patrol the East China Sea on a dog-headed warship, Garp received a newspaper sold by Newsbird and the latest Navy reward order issued along with the newspaper.

Straw Hat Luffy.

The first reward was 30 million beli.

The picture showing the reward is a laughing boy wearing a straw hat. His face is so smiley that his eyes are narrowing. He does not look like he is committing any heinous crime at all.

Garp looked at the grinning grandson in the photo of the reward order, and after a hint of anger appeared in his eyes, he actually smiled.

"This kid..."

"Lieutenant General Garp."

"Information about the Straw Hats."

Bogart, Garp's adjutant, looked at his boss and spoke softly about the intelligence circulated within the Navy: "The 16th East China Sea Division fought a battle with the Straw Hat Pirates and the Arlong Pirates entrenched in the East China Sea.

, only one navy recruit survived. Aaron and his gang were captured by that recruit, and the Straw Hats were lucky enough to escape under that recruit..."

"Hahahaha...it must be the work of the Warring States Period!"

Garp knows his old friend very well, and he can probably guess what happened here: "Then when patrolling the East China Sea, let's take a look at the surviving recruit!"

If the justice in the recruit's heart has not been stained, and he is even still willing to retain his justice, then he might as well transfer him to the headquarters to receive special training.

but…

That Navy recruit is no longer a recruit.

The survivor, Navy Private Third Class Akihara Kagura, jumped seven levels at the speed of light and was directly promoted from Private Third Class to Second Lieutenant of the Navy branch, which gives him a little power!

"Second Lieutenant Akihara Kagura, I hope you won't take these things to heart."

The Lieutenant General of the East China Sea Branch seemed unhappy when he saw the promoted Akihara Kagura, and was worried that the new recruit in the navy would feel ashamed that he had taken credit for being a pirate.

"Next time, I hope that you will use the power of justice to solve the pirates that endanger the world, and live up to the name of a hero given to you by Marshal Sengoku!"

"yes…"

Akihara Kagura's expression was heavy.

As for what he was thinking...

This kind of thing was originally within his plan.

Akihara Kagura has long been aware of some common practices within the navy. It is not uncommon for people to claim credit for pirates. She deliberately designed it to make herself the biggest beneficiary of this time and dispel the suspicion of others.

.

The navy relies on pirates to solve pirate troubles. Everyone can do this kind of thing, but they cannot announce it to the public...

"I want to go to Rogue Town."

Akihara Kagura immediately provided information and took the initiative to say: "Monkey D. Luffy is going to the Grand Route. The Straw Hat Pirates will definitely pass by Rogue Town. I want to catch the Straw Hats heading to the Grand Route there.

Luffy!"

"There's no need to worry."

The Lieutenant General of the East China Sea Branch chuckled and took the initiative to say: "Rogg Town is in the East China Sea, but it is directly under the Navy Headquarters. The Navy Headquarters Colonel Smoker is stationed there..."

Smoker, known as the "White Hunter".

The captain of the Navy Headquarters is known internally as a mad dog in the Navy. He does not even obey the orders of the Navy Headquarters, let alone the East China Sea Branch.

The navy headquarters is three levels higher than the branch. The captain of the headquarters and the lieutenant general of the Sihai branch are essentially the same level. Naturally, Smoker will not be willing to obey the orders of the East China Sea branch.

but…

This does not mean that the Lieutenant General of the East China Sea Branch does not recognize Smoker's strength.

Ever since Smoker took charge of Rogge Town, he has captured countless pirates. No matter how strong Straw Hat Luffy is, there is no way he can escape Smoker's grasp.

Smoker…

But it is a rare natural type with the ability to produce smoking fruit.

Seeing that he could not be transferred to Rogge Town, Akihara Kagura could only choose another method. He shook his head and planned to leave the Donghai Branch and return to the 16th Branch Base.

It happened that there were no bosses in the 16th branch base of the East China Sea, so Akihara Kagura quickly used her small power to directly recruit Kosovo into the navy to serve as her adjutant.

Other than that…

Akihara Kagura also received her biggest harvest.

A Navy private third class...

He was directly promoted to seven levels in a row and became a branch second lieutenant!

This time was even shorter than two months.

[Private Third Class → Private First Class → Private First Class → Corps Commander (Corporal) → Sergeant (Sergeant) → Commander Cao (Sergeant) → Warrant Officer → Second Lieutenant of the Branch]

[System prompt]: [The host has been promoted from the third class of the navy to the second lieutenant of the navy branch. The host has been promoted to the seventh level. New abilities have been awakened in the body and seven characteristics have been opened! 】

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Great Swordsman]!

[Great Swordsman (who has mastered swordsmanship to a superb level, can develop his own swordsmanship, can see through the flaws in the swordsmanship of other swordsmen, and can compete with all swordsmen in the world on swordsmanship!)]

Akihara Kagura tried this characteristic ability for the first time. He put his two fingers together and suddenly waved them. He was able to send out a powerful slashing sword energy with just his fingers!

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Meat Ball Fruit]!

[Meat Ball Fruit (one of the superhuman abilities), according to the user's thoughts and strength, can release shock waves through compressed air in the palm of the hand, and can also eject any object in the world, even fatigue, pain, injury, heat, soul, slashing, etc.

Wait, all matter or energy can be bounced away by the meat ball fruit!)】

This ability is quite interesting.

The most useful of these is undoubtedly Bounce Fatigue.

Although Akihara Kagura rarely feels tired when exercising, she can still express her boredom and still have the tenacity to continue practicing.

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Thread Fruit]!

[System prompt]: [Spirit Fusion] has been integrated into the characteristics of [Thread Fruit], and the control ability of Thread Fruit will become more powerful!

[Thread Fruit (freely control invisible threads, can be wrapped around the enemy's body to control the enemy's actions through silk threads). In addition, the host can also develop a variety of threads. Small threads can be used for suture surgeries.

The sharp thread can chop the enemy's body into pieces!)】

This ability…

At best it can only be regarded as a reinforcement.

Akihara Kagura can also be called a powerful puppet master. The Thread Fruit only strengthens his control ability, but he is not a person who likes to use violent means to control others...

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Shadow Fruit]!

[System prompt]: The two characteristics [Shadow Fruit] and [Light and Shadow] have been merged into a new characteristic [Shadow World]!

[The world of shadows (there is a world under the sun, and another world in the shadows. The host can freely enter and exit the shadow world without anyone noticing, and use the enemy's shadow to create people who are as powerful as the enemy to fight!)]

This feature…

It seems to be stronger than [Light and Shadow]!

At least Akihara Kagura has never tried to create the enemy's shadow. The shadow is formed by light projection. Theoretically, the shadow and the body have the same combat power.

No!

I should say stronger!

Because not everyone can crack the shadow!

The shadow has an illusory body that is more difficult to defeat than the enemy's body. It is not easy to defeat the shadow without any special means...

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Shasha Fruit]!

[Sand and Sand Fruit (natural ability, can turn your body into yellow sand, can quickly absorb water like a desert, can also control the yellow sand to fight, and can even turn everything around into a sea of ​​sand.)]

Akihara Kagura raised his palm and controlled the floor under his feet to turn into yellow sand, which gathered into a sand gourd in his hand. The sand gourd turned into yellow sand and dissipated directly.

Akihara Kagura is not good at playing with sand...

Akihara Kagura is only good at defeating those who play with sand.

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Murloc Karate]!

[Murloc Karate (the powerful physical technique of the fish-men clan, it is especially powerful when fighting in the sea, it can make the water and the palm of the hand freely control the sea water to perform physical techniques as if they are integrated into one!)]

This ability... is not necessary.

Akihara Kagura herself controls nature and is better at controlling water than the fishmen.

[System prompt]: The host has obtained a new characteristic [Sweet Fruit]!

[Sweet Fruit (superhuman ability, can freely develop the ability to petrify people!)]

Akihara Kagura's eyes flashed, and he raised his finger, and a ball of heart-shaped energy appeared on his fingertips, but why was this heart-shaped energy black!

This heart...
