Chapter 204 A new official takes office and the Devil Fruit reappears

New world, G7 branch base!

Lieutenant General Horford, the current branch base commander, is currently gathering at the port with a team of people, as if waiting for something.

Horford is actually in a pretty good mood at the moment. He has been the base director of the G7 branch for more than a year, but to be honest, he wants to leave here all the time.

As a veteran who is nearly sixty years old, Horford is not particularly valued among the many lieutenants in the Navy Headquarters. Even his ability to become a lieutenant general still relies on his comradeship with Marshal Sora.

In the past, he was at the Navy Headquarters, or in the first half of the Grand Line, but more than a year ago, there was no one to serve as the base director of the G7 branch, and it finally fell to him.

There was no other way, Horford could only follow the order and come to the new world all the way.

It's just that Horford knows his own abilities, and he can deal with ordinary pirates just fine, but if he encounters powerful pirates, such as Whitebeard, Big Mom, etc., he will be too far behind.

So after coming to the new world, he adhered to one principle, Gou.

Unless he encounters pirates plundering his territory, he will send out troops to arrest them. At other times, he will basically not lead the troops to patrol the sea, especially when a large pirate group is discovered, he can Hide as much as possible.

This can't be completely blamed on him. The situation of the G7 branch is really too bad. They are a group of sailors who are just messing around. With an army of less than 10,000, they may not even be able to fight 3,000.

Tens of thousands of troops may seem like a lot, but the problem is that they cannot fight a tough battle, especially when encountering those powerful pirates. After several rounds of attacks, tens of thousands of people may not be enough to fight.

Because he adheres to Gou's principle, Horford has really not encountered any major problems during his more than one year in office, and he has developed steadily.

But also because of his inaction, the strength of the G7 branch did not increase much. Basically, like Horford, they were just muddling along.

As the saying goes, what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers.

However, Horford didn't care about these at all, let alone the discussions among his soldiers. At his age, what he considered more was not the implementation of justice, but how to enjoy his old age and leave the hard work to young people.

Horford has been in a good mood since the order came from the headquarters not long ago that someone would take his place.

Finally, someone was willing to take over the mess he was in, and he could finally return to his roots.

Although he also knew that he might be forced to retire when he returned to the headquarters this time, but in his opinion, retirement was much better than staying in the G7 branch.

When he retires as a lieutenant general, the Navy Headquarters will definitely take care of him. At least he can enjoy his old age in peace without being as worried as in the new world.

"Coming, Lieutenant General, there are two warships approaching."

Horford's spirit was shaken, and he immediately raised his head and looked forward. Not long after, he saw two warships approaching slowly.

"finally come!"

The two warships led by Jon finally arrived at the G7 branch base. Later, they did not encounter any trouble or pirates, and it was relatively smooth sailing along the way.

"Lieutenant General, people in the base have discovered us and are flagging us down."

"Follow their orders!"

Soon, the two warships followed the instructions and headed towards Horford's location. Ten minutes later, they docked at the port shore.

As soon as Jon stepped off the warship, he saw a veteran coming over.

"You should be Lieutenant General Ryans Jon. You are indeed a talented person. I am Horford, the temporary base director of the G7 branch."

Horford walked up to Jon and greeted him happily.

Jon also immediately returned the greeting: "Hello, Lieutenant General Horford, you are a senior, why do you come here to greet me in person? It's too embarrassing for me."

"No, no, no, Lieutenant General Jon, you're too polite. If you can come over, it's not too late for me to be happy. I'll leave this place to others and we can go in and hand it over together?"

Horford asked, he couldn't wait any longer.

Jon didn't care about Horford's eagerness, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go there first."

Then he asked Gion to lead his men to settle in. He took Pemberton and Horford to the base.

Horford took Jon and the others to the conference room and saw a bunch of things on the conference table.

"Lieutenant General Jon, this is the seal of the base director of the G7 branch, phone bug..."

"These things are now handed to you."

This was Jon's first time as a branch base director, and he was quite surprised to see that there were so many things to hand over.

"These documents record the current situation of the branch. I will briefly explain it to you first, and then you can compare it with the documents to get a general idea of ​​the branch's situation."

Jon listened carefully to Horford's narration. After an hour, he roughly knew the current situation of the G7 branch.

In the next two days, Jon followed Horford to get familiar with various places and personnel of the G7 branch.

It was not until two days later that he and Horford officially completed the handover. From this moment on, he officially served as the base director of the G7 branch.

As for Horford, after completing the handover, he left the G7 branch with a small number of people.

Although it was his first time to serve as the base director of the branch, Jon got started very quickly. With the help of Pemberton and Gion, the replacement of the base director did not cause much chaos in the branch, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner. .

Not long after taking office, Jon first summoned the branch's generals and colonels to the conference room.

The current G7 branch has one lieutenant general, Jon; two major generals: Gion and Pemberton; and five brigadiers, three of whom were brought by Jon. Only two of them belong to the original G7 branch base. .

In addition, there are ten colonels. Except for the two led by Jon, the rest are all former G7 branches.

Judging purely from the number of generals and officers, the current G7 branch is actually not weak, mainly because these people were brought in by Jon when he took office.

It was extremely rare in the past for someone like Jon to bring his confidants with him as soon as he took office, and still occupy most of the top management. This was a treatment only granted by Marshal Kong Kong.

In the past, branch and base directors only brought a few confidants with them when they took office.

"I am Lion Jon, and I will be in charge of the G7 branch base next. We have already met, but you must not be familiar with me yet. It doesn't matter. In the next process of getting along, we will slowly Get familiar slowly."

Jon said this to the generals and colonels of the G7 branch. The people he brought with him all knew him to a certain extent.

"I have a general understanding of the situation of the G7 branch. To be honest, I am a little disappointed, but I can also understand that this kind of thing has little to do with you;

It just doesn’t matter what you were like before, but from now on, I will reform the entire base. Everyone must execute my orders. If you have any opinions, you can tell me privately, but no one will be allowed to defy it openly. my order. "

As he spoke, a tyrannical aura erupted from his body, causing the faces of the generals and colonels present to change slightly.

"yes!"

Everyone responded loudly to Jon.

After all, this is still a world where the strong are respected. Jon has the highest military rank and the strongest strength, so they can only follow orders.

If it were at the headquarters base, Jon might not necessarily be able to intimidate everyone, but in the G7 branch, most of the brigadiers and colonels were ignored and had no background, so they dared not disobey Jon.

"very good!"

Jon nodded with satisfaction, "I understand the situation of the G7 branch, and I also know that it is not easy for you. I won't say much else. As long as you follow my orders, starting from today, your salary will be paid an additional five dollars. Success is not a salary, but an internal bonus within the base;

And in addition to bonuses, there will also be rewards for catching pirates. I will distribute the specific details to each of you when the time comes. "

"In short, there are not many other rules when working under me. The first thing is to obey orders. As long as you can complete my orders and tasks, you will not lack your benefits. Although it is too early to say this now, it is necessary. It won’t take long before you understand what I mean.”

"As for the reforms I just mentioned, we will start from the inside first. Next, I will invest a large amount of money to further improve the internal buildings of the base. In addition to this, there are also military issues. After you go back, pass on the order. In three days, I will train all the soldiers for three months."

Naturally, the generals who came with him did not respond to Jon's order;

The generals and commanders belonging to the G7 branch base all looked at each other, but they had no intention of objecting, because Jon's order did not involve their interests, but instead increased their rights, and they had no way to object.

There are three things a new officer should do when he takes office. For these people, as long as Jon does not waver in their interests, they will naturally not dare to confront Jon. After all, the hierarchy in the navy is very strict. Here, Jon has absolute power. power.

To put it bluntly, even if Jon kills any of them, as long as he finds a suitable reason afterwards, the headquarters will not hold him accountable. The power of the base director is not that great.

Especially now that the headquarters is trying to deal with the G7 branch, as long as Jon doesn't go too far, he won't interfere with anything he does.

This meeting lasted for three hours, during which Jon basically spoke, and then his deputy Pemberton spoke, and everyone else was a listener.

But at the end of the sentence, one of Jon's orders aroused doubts from several generals.

"Lieutenant General, do you mean that the next training of soldiers will be conducted by female soldiers as instructors?"

The person who asked this question was a brigadier general at the G7 branch base. When Jon announced that female soldiers would take over the training, he was really in disbelief. What kind of joke are you asking female soldiers to train thousands of troops?

"What? Do you have any objections?" Jon asked with a smile instead of being angry.

Seeing Jon talking with a smile, the brigadier general became more courageous.

"Lieutenant General, you also know that we are all male soldiers here. If we let female soldiers train them, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was already clear: he was looking down on female soldiers.

There were several generals here who came with Jon and the others. They had seen how powerful female soldiers were, so they all looked at the brigadier general with half-smiles.

Jon smiled and said, "It's okay to have doubts. I understand what you mean. You're just afraid of being difficult to convince others, right?"

"It just so happens that I just arrived here not long ago, so let's hold an event and have a battle between men and women. Five hundred male soldiers will be selected from the base and the five hundred female soldiers I brought will have a fair fight. duel."

The generals and colonels of the former G7 branch all looked at each other in confusion, and it was Brigadier General Richard Madden who had spoken before who raised the question.

"Male soldiers versus female soldiers?"

Jon nodded and said: "Yes, since you have raised a question, I will definitely give you an answer. It will definitely not work based on my words, so let's have a fair duel; it will definitely not work in a naval battle. It will be difficult for our own people to give their best. , then engage in land warfare.”

"Both sides will send out five hundred people each to fight in the base. The battle method does not need to be complicated. The goal is to capture the flag. Whichever side finally captures the military flag and brings it back to their base camp will be considered the winner."

"What questions do you have about my proposal? Major General Gion, Brigadier General Madden?"

Gion replied calmly: "No objection."

Seeing the female soldier leader Gion's straightforward reply, Madden and others were even more shocked.

"You two can discuss it. After all, you are the ones who know the soldiers here best." Jon made a timely rescue.

Madden and others immediately discussed in a low voice, and finally Madden replied: "If the Lieutenant General is so interested, we can give it a try. If it is just a battle between men and women, it will inevitably happen..."

"Don't worry, just fight as you want." Gion interrupted Madden.

Madden was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since Major General Gion has this confidence, then we can only accompany him."

Pemberton laughed and said: "Then I'm really looking forward to letting everyone watch the game together."

Jon finally stood up and said: "Okay, then it's decided. The G7 branch must not have been so lively for a long time, so this time it will be lively. Since it is a competition, there must be rewards. The winning side will Get my special reward.”

"Devil Fruit!"

"What?"

When Jon said the Devil Fruit, everyone present looked shocked.

Devil Fruit is the treasure of the sea. Taking Devil Fruit as a reward is really too extravagant. Who doesn’t hide the Devil Fruit and would take it out as a reward for the competition?

Jon winked at Pemberton, who immediately took out a small box and opened it.

"hiss!"

There was a sound of inhalation, and there was actually a Devil Fruit in the small box. It was in the shape of a banana, and the spiral pattern on it couldn't be faked. This was indeed a Devil Fruit.

"Although this is just an animal-type Devil Fruit. I don't know what its specific ability is, but it does not affect its value. As a reward for the competition, it should be fine, right?"

Of course it’s no problem, it’s no problem!

Not to mention it as a reward, it can be seen from everyone's eyes that even they are full of covetousness for this devil fruit.

Jon smiled slightly. To him, an animal-type Devil Fruit like this was dispensable. If it could be used to boost the morale of the G7 branch and activate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, it would definitely be worth the money.

The origin of this devil fruit is that it was a trophy when he was encircling pirates in the New World. It was intercepted by him and Pemberton, and it can be used this time.
