On this sea, there is an old rumor.

Devil Fruits have a nickname - "the incarnation of the devil of the sea".

It is said that this is because powerful Devil Fruit Abilities are as powerful and terrifying as the demons in legends and stories in the eyes of ordinary people, hence the name "Devil Fruit".

In fact, this is only one of the reasons, otherwise why is it not called the "fruit of the gods"?

The person who eats the Devil Fruit will be hated by the sea and turned into a landlubber, and in this ocean-dominated world, not being able to swim is an absolute tragedy.

"Landlubbers" are considered by the world to be cursed, and "curses" are generally associated with demons.

In addition, people who eat more than one fruit because of their ability will explode because they can't bear the energy in their bodies, and this terrible death is a confirmation of the "demon" statement.

"Devil Fruit" has gradually become a recognized name in the world.

Obviously, the demon in the "Demon Souls" mentioned by the system refers to the demon of the Devil Fruit.

"Doesn't that mean ......?"

Hai Lan's eyes flickered slightly.

His figure vanished in place.

Colonel Ain, who had passed out, was so pitifully left in the forest by the people she liked......

"I'll ...... I forgot about her in excitement......"

Two seconds later, Hailan ran back again.

He carried Al Yin straight back to her room and ran to the navy's armory.

"Lieutenant General!"

The busy navy soldiers hurriedly saluted when they saw Hailan appear here.

Hailan returned the salute: "All busy...... Leave me alone......"

"Yes!"

Hailan looked calm and breezy on the surface, maintaining the demeanor of a lieutenant general.

In fact, his heart was already flooded with turmoil, and he couldn't wait to experiment with his newly acquired skill [Soul Stripping].

Hailan walked slowly to the vicinity of the Hailou Stone equipment, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and grabbed a pair of Hailou Stone handcuffs in her hands.

"Worthy of the lieutenant general...... As a person with Devil Fruit ability, he was so bright after touching the handcuffs of Hailou Stone. ”

THE SUPPRESSION EFFECT OF THE HAELOU STONE ON THE CAPABLE PERSON DEPENDS ON THE PURITY OF THE KERATIN PARTICLES CALLED "PYROBROIN", THE HIGHER THE PURITY, THE MORE SIGNIFICANT THE SUPPRESSION EFFECT, AND IT IS ALSO RELATED TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE CAPABLE PERSON.

The extremely pure Hailou stone products can suppress the admiral and the four emperors of the pirates, and the ordinary Hailou stone handcuffs deprive them of their abilities at most, and only those with corporal-level abilities will not even be able to raise a trace of strength.

Therefore, these navies were not surprised to see Hai Lan holding the handcuffs of Hailou Stone in his hands and looking indifferent, and even some admired the strength of the lieutenant general.

But Hailan's calm appearance hides an excited heart.

Gone!

It's gone!

The discomfort of being suppressed by Hailou Stone is gone!

Hailan almost wanted to sing a song to express her excitement now.

It's really uncomfortable to be a Devil Fruit Ability.

Not to mention the sea and the sea building stone.

Even if you take a bath on weekdays, you need to be careful, although the bath water does not contain a lot of particles like seawater, but as long as you submerge half of the body, the ability will still have a sense of powerlessness.

Unless you use distilled water for a bath, that's unrealistic just to think about.

Capable people even need to worry about whether they will be attacked by the enemy when they take a bath, and when Hailan goes out on a mission alone, he doesn't even dare to take a bath, no matter how uncomfortable his body is, he can only take a shower.

It's good now.

[Soul stripping] allowed me to rediscover the feeling of being "alive".

I can finally take a bath and swim like a normal person.

Especially when fighting, the biggest weakness of the capable is gone!

Refreshing!

"Lieutenant General, what's wrong with him? How do I feel that the lieutenant general is particularly happy today? ”

"Maybe it's because the Draconians allocated funds to rebuild the base......"

"Alas...... If you don't have money, it's hard to ......."

calmed down, Hailan did not get carried away.

To put it simply, [Soul Stripping] allows you to switch between [Ordinary People] and [Capable Ones], and does not allow you to maintain your fruit ability while removing weaknesses.

Hai Lan held the handcuffs of Hailou Stone in his hand, trying to mobilize the Aurora element.

Sure enough, there was no reaction at all.

However, Hailan was not disappointed.

You must know that his [Soul Stripping] has no cooldown, and he can turn it on and off anytime, anywhere, and at will, switching his soul attributes.

That's enough, what more bikes?

If there's anything Hailan cares about, it's the "recognition value".

Recognition is not prestige.

It's easy to grab a wave of prestige, but it's hard to get a person's approval.

Otherwise, Hailan's "prestige value" would have been millions or tens of millions.

After the 100,000 "recognition value", it turned out to be directly the 500,000 mark, which was a super high value that gave Hailan a headache.

There is still a long way to go.

However, behind the ultra-high value, it should often mean more generous returns.

Hailan put the Hailou stone handcuffs back in place and left the equipment room with a smile.

"Work hard...... Lads...... Add dinner tonight. ”

"Yes!"

Feeling the warm smile of the lieutenant general like a spring breeze, the hearts of the soldiers actually pounded, and the feeling was like a fan meeting his star idol.

After Hailan walked away, the soldiers wondered, "How do I feel that today's Lieutenant General Daytiger is particularly attractive?" ”

The other soldier scratched his head: "I don't know very well either...... Illusion? ”

The effect of [Heroic Temperament] is activated, and the soldiers, of course, cannot guess the truth.

In order to ensure that there would be no omissions, Hailan took the opportunity to catch fish to test the effect of the sea water on himself, and sure enough, it was exactly as the skill description.

Nothing to wonder about.

Hailan piled up the fish she had caught on the beach, and returned to Ain's residence first.

Naturally, the ingredients will be handled by naval cooks.

……

Push open the door.

Hailan and Al Yin behind the door almost collided.

"Forehead ......"

"Why did you run away? Okay, let me test the lightning resistance? ”

"The ......"

Looking at Ai Yin's puffing little face, Hailan had an idea: "Because I have a brand new discovery!" ”

Pretending to be busy, Hailan squeezed into Ain's room.

Ai Yin's voice came from behind him: "You don't fool me!" ”

After so many years, no matter how simple people are, they know that Hailan is a big fool......

"Uh...... It's true! ”

Hailan scratched her head: "Let me tell you, you also have lightning resistance!" ”

"You're still fooling me?!"

"I'm serious!"

After staring at Hailan's eyes for a long time, Ai Yin didn't feel like Hailan was teasing her.

Thinking that he might really have lightning resistance, Ain became excited: "This ...... How can I have lightning resistance? What the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know, you didn't eat the Devil Fruit related to thunder and lightning."

Hai Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the previous incident was finally over: "Think about it, have you usually been exposed to things related to thunder and lightning?" For example, have you ever called yourself......"

Ain couldn't cry or laugh: "What am I doing by myself?" ”

Hailan was very serious: "Then did you ever go to Thor Island when you were a child?" ”

Isle of Thor, an island located in the New World.

The islands are extremely dangerous due to constant thunderstorms all year round.

"I didn't ...... How dare I go to that kind of place? ”

"That's weird."

Sitting on the sofa, Hailan propped her chin in her hands, thinking about this question.

Ai Yin sat next to Hailan, and seeing that he did not react, Ai Yin had the audacity to move to his side.

She approached Hailan gently, her little head quietly trying to lean on his shoulder.

"Smack!"

Hailan slapped her thigh: "I remember!" ”

"Hmm......"

Aine leaned back, and Hailan slapped her thigh so hard just now that her shoulder hit her chin.

Hailan apologized: "No...... I'm sorry, I was so involved in thinking about it just now that I didn't notice you...... Are you okay? ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't ......."

Ain struggled to speak, her hands clutching her chin tightly, and tears flowed from her eyes......

"Are you alright?"

"Really...... It's okay! ”

"Well, I remember why you're lightning resistant."

"I remembered, too."

Being hit by Hailan like this, a shadow flashed in Ai Yin's mind.

The two said in unison: "Purple electric green frost!" ”

"Purple Electricity, to be exact!"

Hailan said as she forcibly broke Ain's hands and pinched her chin to examine her for a while before relieving herself.

The "chin" is a very fragile part of the human body, and sometimes opening the big mouth several times in a row will make a person's ear hurt for a long time.

Not to mention that there is a punch called "hitting the root of the chin".

Al Yin did not resist.

Although this is a little awkward, he still cares about himself.

Rubbing her chin, Ain asked, "So when can we start training?" ”

"Tomorrow, you've been in shock once today, and it's not suitable for training anymore."

"Hmm."

"Blue Blue Blue ......"

The phone bug in Hailan's pocket rang suddenly.

It was a call from one of his civilian adjutants.

"Oh no, Chief Hailan!"

"It's me, Daytiger Hailan, you calm down first."

Hearing the lieutenant general's voice, the adjutant calmed down a little.

"It's 'BIG· MOM'Charlotte Lingling's call ......"

Hailan glanced at Ai Yin, and then looked at the phone bug: "Take the signal." ”

Aine turned to leave the room, but was dragged back by Hailan.

Looking at Hailan's resolute side face, Ai Yin's heart warmed.

"Well, hahahaha......"

A horrible laugh came out of the phone bug's mouth.

is like the classic "face-changing performance" in Sichuan opera, the phone bug immediately grinned, and a few wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

The phone bug grinned widely, and suddenly roared: "Day Tiger!!!!! ”

It took a long time for the angry phone bug to regain its composure.

Hailan turned his back to his phone bug: "BIG· MOM, can you please stop yelling? You feel sorry for your poor lungs, right? ”

Another string of heart-pounding laughter came, which shows how crazy Charlotte Lingling is at this time.

However, she may have accepted Hailan's suggestion and did not yell again.

"Daytiger, you know what? You killed my precious son Snag. ”

"Ah, of course I know this, war, how can there be immortals."

The phone bug grinned, "Why did you kill Snag?" ”

"Because he killed my Major General Luch.

BIG· MOM, if you're calling me just to talk to me about this nonsense, then I'm not going to waste time with you, so you might as well go talk to a parrot. ”

As he spoke, Hailan was about to hang up the phone.

But the next word Charlotte Lingling uttered brought his hand to rest in the air.

"Family."

Family?

What does that mean?

A hint of doubt crossed Ain's mind, but she didn't say anything.

"Snag is my family."

Hailan held the earpiece to her ear again.

"So ......?"

"So you have a family, right? Daytiger Hailan! ”

A large amount of information flashed through Hailan's mind.

BIG· The MOM Pirates are actually a more brutal pirate group than the Hundred Beast Pirates.

Under the rule of Charlotte Lingling, the "All Nations" of Totland, it is a gastronomic kingdom that will never starve to death.

There are edible gourmet desserts everywhere, and even buildings, lakes are made from desserts such as cream and chocolate.

In Totland, there are countless lovely delicacies that shout "eat me" and "eat me" and come into people's mouths.

Those cute delicacies will give people a wonderful feeling of being in a fairyland, dreaming of a fairy tale.

It's just wonderful!

But when a person knows where those cute delicacies come from, he may no longer be able to laugh, and even have a feeling of nausea.

Every food that laughs and shouts "Eat me" is made by BIG· MOM extracts the souls of others to create a beautiful ** spirit.

In a sense, eating these conscious delicacies is almost equivalent to cannibalism.

And that's just BIG· An aspect of the cruelty of the MOM Pirates.

offended Whitebeard, Beasts, and Red Hair, and at most ended up being beaten and killed.

But offended BIG· MOM, the danger is no longer just oneself, but all those who are close to you.

BIG· MOM likes nothing more than to assassinate his opponent's family, or kidnap them to threaten them.

There was once a vice admiral who provoked BIG· MOM Pirates, his parents were brutally murdered by pirates, for which he became a hawkish general, and his wife and children never dared to leave the Navy headquarters for half a step.

Because of his identity, Ain, who is just a colonel, doesn't know that BIG· These characteristics of the MOM Pirates, so she looked puzzled, but with the G5 branch hitting BIG· The MOM Pirates, who serve here, will soon learn about the Beasts and BIG· MOM of these two pirates.

Maybe it was because I saw Hailan's expression imitated by the phone bug, and BIG· MOM BURST OUT LAUGHING.

Hailan also laughed: "BIG· MOM, tell me, who is in my family?

Zefa? Karp? Crane? Or Sengoku? Well? ”

What is the relationship between Hailan and Ain?

Never mind!

In the eyes of others, it's just that Colonel Ain likes Lieutenant General Hailan, and he hasn't succeeded in catching up.

Lilith?

Hailan is just Lilith's teacher.

Teacher and Master are completely different concepts.

Lilith can use Hailan as a teacher while also being taught by Zefa and Peachrabbit.

Master, Master, the word "father" in it is not just a casual talk, one day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father, and a responsible master will generally teach his disciples as if they were his own children; And when a disciple has a master, he recognizes others as masters, which is called deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.

The relationship between Hailan and Lilith is far less complicated, he is just a teacher.

Hailan's family is only a few veterans.

Charlotte Lingling was stopped by Hailan for a while, she was silent for a long time before grinning: "Dayhu, don't be complacent, I remember that you still have a sister, it's called ...... It's called Kerra, right? ”

Hailan still kept smiling, and she couldn't see joy, anger, sorrow, or joy: "BIG· MOM, you know a lot. ”

Charlotte Lingling smiled even more happily: "Are you ready to meet the wrath of the Charlotte family?" Daytiger, I will make you remember forever that you have offended the name of BIG· The One Piece Emperor of MOM! ”

“……”

Ain heard it in a fog.

However, looking at the changes in the expressions of the phone bug and Hailan, combined with some key information in the conversation between the two, Ai Yin could feel that this was not a trivial matter.

"Charlotte Lingling, I used to respect you as a pirate emperor, and I thought that you could sit in this position, no matter how you said it, you could be regarded as a capable person, but now it seems that I really look down on you more and more."

"What did you say?"

Hailan's tone was mixed with undisguised mockery, which was heard in BIG· MOM'S HEART IS LIKE A BLADE.

"Intimidation is the lowest method, and it is a manifestation of the strong outside!

If you have any moves, I'll play with you to the end! ”

"You tell me again......"

"Click."

The phone bug closed its eyes, and the earpiece was put back on its back by Hailan.

"Hailan ......"

Ain didn't know what to say.

Hailan calmed down and exhaled a breath of air, "Ain, I have to go back to the headquarters, and the matter here will be handed over to you and Wagner for the time being, and I will ask Lieutenant General Taotu for important matters." ”

"Okay."

Ai Yin answered, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will it be ...... last time Teacher Zefa was attacked?"

Hailan shook her head: "It shouldn't be, at that time, my father and I didn't have a relationship with BIG· MOM got involved, and besides, if it was really her, then she shouldn't have called me this time, just do it. ”

"Will Mr. Nazefa ...... in the future?"

"Don't worry about this, Dad, he is very strong now, if you want to assassinate him, you have to at least send a Four Emperor-level assassins, how can the Charlotte family have this ability."

"That's right."

"I'm leaving, you guys should be careful at G5."

"I'll take care of myself."

……

Headquarters of the Navy.

"I'm big!"

Chopper roared and kicked over a baboon across from him.

Hailan sometimes wonders if Chopper's idol will be Bruce Lee......

"It's boring."

Sitting on the edge of the trestle, Kerra dangled a pair of small white feet, constantly drawing water lines.

"Oh oh ......"

A baboon ran up to Kerra with a strange thing in his hand that kept screaming.

"Monkey Er, what is this?"

Monkey Two is the name of this baboon, and it is Monkey One who is kicked over by Chopper.

Originally, Hailan planned to call them Brother Monkey and Brother Monkey, but after thinking about it, forget it.

"Oh oh ......"

"Forget it, I'll see for myself."

Kella took the strange thing in her hand: "Isn't this a lute?" Oh my God, the pipa can still talk? Did you eat an animal-based Devil Fruit? ”

"You hateful woman, hurry up and let me go, or ......"

"Hello, Miss Pipa."

"Or else...... Otherwise...... That one...... That one...... Hello, beautiful young lady. ”

"It smells so good!"

Not far away, Chopper showed a look of enjoyment.

His nose had been easily captured by an invisible smell of roasted meat.
