Pirate: My strength is the sum of the three admirals!

"Boss, is this the reason why you can teleport at a speed close to instantaneous?" There was a hint of shock in Taotu's beautiful eyes.

"Yes, that's right." Carl nodded, and then continued:"There is one thing I want to remind you again, whether it is the power of the devil fruit or the talisman, it is to enhance your own strength. But the iron must be hard! You must continue to practice physical skills and domineering, this is the foundation of becoming a strong man!"

"Although speed is power, you are too fragile, and extreme speed will hurt yourself, understand?"

Kizaru nodded seriously and said,"I understand, Boss."

"Not only Kizaru, but you too, Akainu's Magma Fruit, Mole's Heavy Fruit, Spider Demon's String Fruit, Burning Mountain's Cat-Cat Fruit (Leopard Form), the devil fruit has given you a huge boost, but all of this is based on your good foundation! If you want to become stronger, you must not fall behind in Taijutsu and Haki! Starting tomorrow, I will explain Ryuo Haki to you. As for when you can comprehend it, it depends on you."

"Yes!"

Everyone said respectfully.

"People who don’t have devil fruits shouldn’t be discouraged. There is still a long way to go in the future. Do you understand?"

"Got it! Boss!"

Karl stretched his body and continued to instruct,"You all have a good rest today. Sakaski, come with me back to the marshal's office. I forgot something just now."

""Okay, Boss." Akainu agreed obediently.

Everyone dispersed, and Carl led Akainu back the way he came.

"Sakaski, what do you think about becoming an admiral of the navy? Are you dissatisfied with the decision I made for you? Let’s talk about what’s in our hearts." Carl deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Akainu. A rare smile appeared on Akainu’s usually cold face,"Boss, I’m not dissatisfied, I’m just a little surprised. The position of admiral is what many people dream of, but you gave it to me. I’m afraid I can’t do it well and live up to your expectations."

Carl smiled and comforted,"Don’t worry, I will always be here. Even if I’m not here, you just have to do things according to your heart. I believe you can do it well! You have a very long way to go in the future. Don’t limit your sights to the position of admiral, and the same goes for strength. In this sea, the admiral’s strength is not enough to have a say."

Akainu’s eyes flickered, and his heart was quite shocked.

Isn’t the admiral’s strength at its peak?

Then he has to become stronger!

The two of them came to the marshal’s office unknowingly. The door of the office was open, and only Sengoku was left discussing something with Steel Bone.

"Marshal." Carl knocked on the door and walked in.

Cyborg asked in surprise:"Carl, why are you back? What's the matter?"

Carl scratched his head and said sincerely:"There is indeed something I want to get your approval. There is a soldier named 'Kuzan' in the navy. He is a good seedling. I want to recruit him into [Zero】"

That's right, Carl's purpose of looking for Cyborg was to recruit Aokiji.

If Aokiji was recruited, his team would be initially formed.

Zhan Guo thought for a while, and Aokiji's information appeared in his mind. He said,"Kuzan is indeed talented, but isn't he a little young?"

At this time, Aokiji was only 15 years old, a real young boy.

Carl grinned and said,"Heroes are born young. Shouldn't we train him now and wait until he is in his forties or fifties?"

Cyborg recognized Carl in his heart and said immediately,"Okay, I believe you have an idea. Zhan Guo will transfer this little guy named Kuzan to Marinford."

Carl was slightly moved by Cyborg's unspoken support.

He then said,"Marshal, since Sakaski is going to serve as a general, then combat strength is definitely not the standard to measure him. He still has a lot to do. If there is any suitable task, I hope you can assign it to him and give him the opportunity to exercise." Akainu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but he was deeply moved.

Ganggu was slightly startled and said,"Okay, don't worry, can I still bully this little guy?"

"If there is nothing else, we will leave first. You go ahead and do your work."Carl smiled and left the office.

Cyborg did not take his eyes off him for a long time. After a long while, he said with a complicated tone,"Zhan Guo, it was really lucky for the Navy that you recruited Carl.""

Dedicated and selfless, Cyborg is ashamed of himself.

Zhan Guo said proudly,"My vision of people is definitely not bad! Carl will definitely lead the Navy to become stronger!"

……

"Sakaski, you will pick up Kuzan in person tomorrow."

Before they parted, Karl specifically reminded them.

"I know, Boss." Akainu agreed without hesitation.

"And." Carl continued to remind him:"You are now an admiral, and Kuzan is still relatively young. You have to take good care of him. Can you do it?"

Carl was afraid that Akainu and Aokiji would go down the old path of dueling in the future, so he was ready to ease the relationship between the two from now on.

""Yes!" Akainu assured.

If Carl ordered him to do so, he would certainly follow his orders.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Carl was teaching the members of [Zero] how to use Armament Haki, when Akainu led a curly-haired kid slowly over.

"Boss, Kuzan is here."

Carl looked at the young Aokiji, who was tall and thin, with a thin face and slightly prominent cheekbones. His skin was a little dark, but he was full of vigor and youth.

"Hello, I’m Rawl, your future instructor. Of course, you can also call me boss, they all call me that." Carl smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello.

Aokiji hurried forward, shook hands and said,"Hello, boss, I’m Kuzan."

The action was very respectful, and a little restrained.

On the way here, he talked with Akainu. He knew that Akainu had become the youngest admiral of the navy, and Carl was still Akainu’s boss. How powerful was that?

After shaking hands, Carl smiled and patted Aokiji on the shoulder and said,"Don’t be nervous, I’m not a man-eating monster."

"Now I ask you, are you willing to join [Zero]?" Carl looked solemn, as if he was holding an important ceremony.

Aokiji held his head high and replied,"I do!"

【Ding!】

【Request system to bind Zero, additional personnel: Kuzan.

When Carl heard the system prompt, he knew that the matter was done. Then he took out the frozen fruit that he had treasured for a long time from behind and handed it to Aokiji,"Here, give your gift, welcome to join Zero.】"

Aokiji was stunned.

He stared blankly at the fruit with strange frost patterns that Carl handed over to him. He was shocked and stammered,"Boss, this is... a devil fruit?!"

Carl's arrogant move of giving away devil fruits for joining Zero completely shocked the young Aokiji, but it also marked the beginning of his rise.
