Pirate Love System

To eat or not to eat?

This is indeed a problem.

Noxia had obtained several Devil Fruits before, but neither the Rusty Fruit nor the several animal-type fruits that were later seized from Du Galileo's hands were too popular.

But the fluttering fruit of the Golden Lion is quite different.

Apart from anything else, being able to escape gravity and fly freely in the sky was quite tempting to him.

Flying is always a dream engraved in human genes.

only……

"The curse of the Devil Fruit is no joke."

Nuo Xia stared at the spiral pattern fruit in front of him. His initial excitement gradually dissipated, and he gradually returned to his normal calmness.

"After eating the fruit, it means that the sea and the Sea Tower Stone will become my nemesis from now on..."

He is now regarded as one of the top tier players in the world.

The main source of combat power is the physical body that is comparable to a monster, and the superb swordsmanship that can control the secret of wind.

Therefore, even if the Piaopiao Fruit can be developed to a level close to that of a golden lion, it will not actually add much to his combat power, but if he eats it, it will directly create two more weaknesses.

From then on, his powerful naval combat ability, which can breathe and swim freely in the deep sea, like the fishmen, and can gain an advantage just on the surface of the sea, will be greatly reduced.

It's like Superman, who was originally invincible with his physical body, just added a deadly shield of kryptonite.

If he had just traveled to the pirate world and encountered the Piaopiao Fruit, he would definitely eat it without hesitation.

But now...

But it’s a bit uneconomical.

"never mind."

Nuo Xia is not a person who likes to worry about gains and losses. In just ten seconds, he made a decision and put the Piao Piao Fruit back in the backpack column.

Then he looked in the direction of home, his eyes flashing slightly.

Although he has no interest in eating the Piaopiao Fruit, there is still no doubt about the preciousness of the fruit. It would be a waste to keep it in the backpack.

After all, people have selfish motives.

This fruit was the trophy that Nuoxia had worked so hard to defeat the Golden Lion, and it took several months to hatch. He would definitely not hand it over like this.

So Nuo Xia's new plan at this moment is to give it to his family around him.

His parents were naturally out of the question, as they were both at retirement age, and as early as when he returned to the East China Sea to visit relatives for the first time, he showed little interest in Devil Fruits.

That's really not interesting at all, unlike a certain Qi.

As for the three wives.

Bellemere is already a user with the Rust Fruit ability, and Shia also ate the Imitation Fruit two years ago, so naturally she passed immediately.

All that's left is the little rabbit.

"I just don't know if the Brigadier wants to eat it..."

Nuo Xia pinched her chin and muttered to herself, "If you are willing, this fruit is quite suitable for her."

No matter how good the Devil Fruit is, it must be used in the hands of a strong person, otherwise it will be a waste like the exploding fruit eaten by the booger man.

And with Little Rabbit's strength and potential, the Piao Piao Fruit will naturally not be buried in her hands.

They can even complement each other, allowing Peach Rabbit's strength to increase faster than in the original timeline.

Perhaps at the time of the war, the Navy Headquarters will have another true general-level combat capability.

Instead of waiting for two years after being promoted to the top, the strength of Mootu and Tea Dolphin was still inferior to that of the general, forcing the Navy Headquarters to recruit troops from all over the world and use two outsiders like Fujitora and Midori.

"Well, that's it."

Nuo Xia clapped his hands with his left fist and hurried home immediately. After a brief shower, he went straight to Taotu's office.

Since resigning at the end of last year and resigning as base commander of Xihai First Branch, Taotu has been stationed at the headquarters like Noxia, but his military rank is still that of major general.

He has enough strength and military exploits, but his qualifications are a threshold that cannot be crossed. According to what was revealed above, Taotu will have to wait at least one or two years before he can be promoted to the intermediate level.

"But Brigadier General, you have been promoted to Major General for almost two years, right? Why is your qualifications not enough? I was promoted to Major General more than half a year later than you. Isn't this also a Lieutenant General?"

At that time, Nuo Xia looked puzzled as to why he was so aggrieved for Taotu.

What a double standard, it's not fair at all.

As a result, after he finished speaking, the little rabbit was furiously beaten with a small pink fist——

Damn, Versailles, right? Your perverted resume and military exploits are limited by your age and seniority?

Not to mention being promoted to major general in the same year, if he hadn't graduated early, it wouldn't be unusual to be promoted to lieutenant general as soon as he was awarded the title, okay?

————-

Ten minutes later.

"Piao Piao Fruit?"

Sure enough, when Nuo Xia took out the fruit, even the calm-tempered Taotu was startled, and his beautiful eyes were full of surprise:

"Isn't this the fruit of the Golden Lion? Why is it in your hand?"

Nuo Xia shrugged and answered truthfully about his general experience.

Just like when he revealed the secret of the life card to Bellemere.

As for Nuo Xia, no one will reveal the existence of the system except that he plans to take it to the coffin board.

There is no need to hide the rest of the things from those closest to you.

"This sword of yours can deprive the defeated person of the fruit's ability and hatch a devil fruit again?"

It took Taotu a long time to barely digest this extremely impactful information. After a moment of confusion, she frowned and said thoughtfully, "In this case, wouldn't the ability users in the deep sea prison be...

…”

"There is no need to imprison and support it? Instead, it can become a stable source of fruit for the Navy?"

Nuo Xia Le couldn't help but put his arms around her neck and kissed her fair cheek hard, "You are indeed a brigadier general! We thought of it together."

Taotu pushed away his right hand that was moving downwards and glared at him angrily.

"But it's not that simple."

Nuo Xia sat down on the sofa opposite her desk with a smile, crossed her legs, "The only people I can deprive of devil fruits are those with abilities who have been defeated by me, and every time this ability is activated, there must be at least three intervals between them."

months.”

Even if he goes to the Deep Sea Prison to pick up goods with the cooldown CD stuck, it will only be four per year, but how many ability users are imprisoned there?

It's a drop in the bucket, but those with the necessary qualifications will still have to pass.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want the outside world to know that I have this ability."

Nuo Xia poured herself a cup of tea and pointed to the ceiling, "Including the people above."

"Why?"

Taotu frowned slightly, "General of the Warring States Period, Marshal He Kong, are both upright and open-minded people. Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't miss you..."

"Of course they don't, but people higher up... don't know."

Nuo Xia shrugged his shoulders and his tone was profound.

In fact, what he was most worried about was Immortal Immortal, whose head and tail were missing from the dragon, but Taotu understood it as the Five Old Stars and other high-level officials of the world government.

However, different paths lead to the same destination, and she can suddenly understand Nuo Xia's state of mind.

It is indeed best not to spread this weird ability that can shake up the world order and break through the cognitive scope of ordinary people.

The ordinary man is not guilty of the crime of harboring the sword. Perhaps the officials of the World Government will not be too full to anger Nosha by asking for the sword, but there is no guarantee that those stupid Celestial Dragons will not develop some covetous intentions.

"Give me a few days to think about it."

Taotu pondered for a moment, still a little hesitant, "I'm not sure now whether I should eat this fruit..."

Obviously.

Considering the weaknesses and disadvantages of the Devil Fruit, Taotu, who specializes in swordsmanship, also has similar concerns as Noxia.

"Well, it's up to you."

Nuo Xia shrugged indifferently and didn't bother to put the Piaopiao Fruit back into his backpack. He drank tea and turned his eyes to the pile of letterheads on the coffee table:

"Why are there so many replies to wedding invitations?"

"Almost."

Taotu was still staring at the fluttering fruit in front of him in a daze. Hearing this, he had a headache. He rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"Not only the replies to me, but also to you, and to that girl Xia, are all here. The postman knows how to save trouble, and sent them all to my office... I haven't even had time to open them and prepare them.

Let’s talk about it at home tonight…”

"I don't know how many people can come."

Nuo Xia smiled, and happened to be free, so he opened it and started reading.

His wedding will be held in a month. Before that, naturally, invitations will be sent out widely to invite relatives and friends from all parties to the wedding.

However, due to the special nature of the naval profession, it is basically no problem for those who are stationed in the headquarters to find time to participate, but it is a bit difficult for those who are scattered in other branches.

so.

It's said to be an invitation, but it's actually more like an announcement.

In these replies, the vast majority apologized that they could not be there in person, but would send sincere blessings at the end of the letter.

"Well, this letter is from Porusalino. As expected, the old guy can't come, but what does it mean to say that he is tired due to his busy schedule? There are so many suitable reasons, why can't he just change it?"

"Sakaski also wrote back. Tsk, I never expected that a guy who is usually so upright and serious could write blessings in so many ways..."

"Kuzan said he could come. Well, no surprise. This guy has been staying at the G1 branch for almost two months, and he is about to be transferred back to the headquarters..."

Taotu had already put away the Piaopiao Fruit and continued to read the official documents behind the desk. Listening to this guy sitting in front of the sofa with his legs crossed and talking, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Time goes by.

The unknown recruit at the beginning has become a dazzling big shot in the headquarters in a blink of an eye.

And after two years, he and I were finally about to enter the sacred hall of marriage...

suddenly.

The voice of muttering was interrupted, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent. Taotu subconsciously raised his head, only to see Nuo Xia holding a letter he had just opened. The more he looked down, the more ugly his face became.

"What's wrong?"

Nuo Xia did not answer immediately, but read the reply to the end, then handed it over silently, frowning at the same time, and paced back and forth in front of the window.

The letter was sent from the G6 branch.

It was supposed to be a reply written by Xi Liu himself, but the name of this letter was signed by a female major general named Aisha.

This is an old man in his sixties. He once served as the captain of his ship when Xiliu was on an internship mission. After retiring to the second line last year, he happened to become a neighbor of Xiliu who came to take up the post. He was very fond of the latter.

There are concerns.

In the letter, the old man described Xiliu's recent experience in detail.

About two months ago, when Nuo Xia had just defeated the Golden Lion, Xiliu was successfully promoted from colonel to colonel due to his outstanding military exploits. At the same time, his fiancée who returned to his hometown to visit relatives also received news that his parents had agreed to the two of them.

Good news about marriage.

This should have been a double blessing.

But half a month later, what Xiliu was waiting for was not his fiancée embarking on her return journey, but a piece of bad news that was difficult to accept.

The hometown of her fiancée, the medic girl she met during her internship, was slaughtered by a pirate group named Black Star.

When the navy arrived urgently, they only saw ruins that had been burned by fire and turned into white ground.

Such a huge blow made Shiliu go crazy with rage. Without even asking for instructions from his superiors, he grabbed a speedboat at the dock and went out to sea alone to search for traces of the Black Star Pirates.

As a result, half a month later, no one was found, but the fate of these pirates was read in the newspaper.

It was said that he had been defeated by another major general from the G6 branch, and the captain Black Star, as well as the important cadres under his command, were all escorted to Impel Down City.
