"Dusty?"

"Yes, it's Dusty, a silly girl with glasses, stupid..."

"That's interesting..."

Hailan had long known that Smoker was more interested in seeing children, but he didn't expect to really adopt one and come back, could it be that he was also a slave who was saved halfway?

"Kerra, come with me to meet the old smoker!"

When she heard that she was going to see Smoker, Kerra was not happy: "What are you doing? I'm not going! ”

With two cigars in his mouth, Smoker's face was blue and smoky, and he was born with an aura of alienation from children.

However, Hailan is very interested in this navy who looks a lot like "Terminator" Arnold Schwarzenegger, presumably in the comics, this one should be a pivotal character, right?

"Of course, to meet your future classmates at the Naval Academy!"

"You... Hello, my name is Dusty, you... Excuse me... Your name is Kerra yes? ”

Dusty and Kerra greeted each other politely, compared to the active Kerra, who looked normal, but the weak Dusty looked like a young girl who had been a slave.

"This kid..."

Hailan smacked her tongue, feeling that this little girl named Dusty would be "stupid and cute" if he used his words before he crossed over.

“... Was it the slave you saved? ”

Hailan asked in a whisper in Smoker's ear.

"It's not!"

Smoker replied with only two words.

It seems that as long as Hailan does not use the chat method of "checking the account", he will not continue to take the initiative to answer.

I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, and the scene would be a little awkward for a while, but Smoker didn't feel it at all.

"Aurora Fruit?"

Smoker, who said whatever he could think of, was the first to break the silence: "This ability doesn't sound very strong." ”

Worried that Hailan might misunderstand what he meant, Smoker added, "It's the same as mine." ”

"Smoker, you're too old-fashioned, you only look at the surface of everything. You see what moves you're developing.

White Punch - Increase your own attack range?

White Snake - Uses smoke to form a python to bite enemies?

White Vines - Use smoke to form vines to tie up enemies?

Are you still a Nature-based Smoke Fruit? I think you're clearly a superhuman rubber fruit..."

Smoker was not angry, and asked rhetorically: "Then how do you say to develop it?" ”

Hailan gave an example: "Do you know whether there are more people who burn to death or choke to death when there is a fire? ”

"How do I know that!"

Hailan couldn't cry or laugh, this Smoker was really a straight man of steel.

Hailan was convinced that even if she replaced herself with Tina, Smoker would still answer this sentence.

"It's okay, you better go read more books, the composition of smoke, the hazards of smoke or something... Natural gas fruit abilities can strip oxygen out of the air, and you can also try to separate your own smoke into several different types.

Oh yes, don't tell me you don't even know what oxygen is, you've already learned it in the Navy. ”

Smoker wasn't angry, and when his skills weren't as good as others, he was still quite modest.

"There's oxygen in the smoke?"

“……”

Seeing Smoker's efforts to recall the textbook knowledge, Hailan was stunned...

"Smoker, I have one more suggestion."

"What?"

"You'd better throw away your Hailou Stone, that thing will only become a burden to you."

Smoker's Ten Hands of Hailou Stone is only a small piece of Hailou Stone inlaid at the tip, not all of which are Hailou Stone, because Hailou Stone is a rare mineral.

Smoker was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"As a natural Devil Fruit powerhouse, that weapon will only become a burden to you; Against people who are weaker than you, you can't use them; Dealing with enemies who are at the same level as you or even stronger than you are likely to be used by the other party in turn, so I suggest that you try to practice more in the future. ”

……

A few days later, Hailan received a distress letter from the Great Voyage Drum Island Iron Bucket Kingdom, in which the king of Magnetic Drum Island stated that his son Valpo had told him that Colonel Hailan of the Navy Headquarters was powerful and upright, and that he must bring Colonel Hailan over.

And the pirates who invaded Drum Island this time were none other than "Blazing" Harris, who burned down the "red-haired" Shanks pirate ship when Princess Vivi celebrated her 100th birthday in Alabastan last year.

"Blaze Harris? Burned incense... Ahem, I'm impressed by the natural Devil Fruit ability that burned the red-haired pirate ship. ”

Bucky rubbed his chin and smiled gloatingly.

"That's... What kind of pirate is that Flame Harris? ”

The question was asked by one of the fish-man soldiers that Hailan recruited on Fish-Man Island through Jinping, the octopus fish-man Kohachi.

Octopus Hachi is stupid, but it just meets Hailan's requirements.

If he was as shrewd as the megalodon shark man "Ah Long" that Hai Lan originally fancied, Hai Lan would not have recruited him to the navy.

He is not the master father in martial arts novels, he specially picks up arrogant and naughty disciples to join his disciples.

You're so good, then you might as well play by yourself.

"Hahahaha... That foolish prince actually knelt down for Chief Hailan, it was so funny! ”

After listening to Bucky's story, Hachi's six arms took turns patting his belly and laughing, just like a living treasure, and Bucky also smiled very happily.

Perhaps the other soldiers on the ship were more or less discriminatory against the fish-men.

But Bucky is different, he has a very good time with Hachi's fishmen, and Bucky's relationship with other soldiers is also very good, and when Bucky is so disturbed, the smell of gunpowder between the races quickly becomes thinner.

However, Hailan did not give these fish-man soldiers more important tasks, firstly, because these fish-men are not very shrewd in their brains, and they are afraid that they will do bad things, and secondly, because the fish-man soldiers are still in the run-in stage, and they are afraid that they will do bad things.

"Sir, shall we go or not?"

Captain Wagner had no affection for the mentally handicapped prince who had so unashamedly asked Chief Hailan to kneel for him, even though it was Valpo who knelt last.

"Go, of course! The request for help from the member countries of the world government can be much more meritorious than catching ordinary little pirates, so why not go? And that 'Flame Pirates' have run on our hands once, so we can't let them go unpunished. ”

The most important thing is that the proficiency of the Devil Fruit has just been completed, and Hailan desperately needs a real battle to consolidate his abilities.

The Nature-based Burning Fruit Ability can be used as the best sparring partner for Hailan to fight with the Devil Fruit Ability who is also a Nature-based person.
