I quit my job as a naval hero to become a pirate

"What? You just know how to eat!" Gion held a piece of paper and smiled at the Seraphim: "Look!"

"Navy Headquarters No. 12 Recruit Competition Registration Form?"

After reading the words on the top of the paper, Seraphim became even more confused, "What is this?"

"That's the literal meaning, registration form for recruit competition!" Gion said with a smile on his face, seemingly very happy.

"Recruit? Is it just me or a new recruit?" Seraphim said with a strange look on his face: "Don't forget, I left the recruit camp a long time ago."

"It's good that you left the boot camp, but you are only 13 years old and you can still participate in this!"

"I won't go even if I can." Seraphim sat down on the stool and said, "Why should I go? Bully those little brats? That's not honorable at all."

"Don't refuse so quickly. Do you know what the reward for No. 1 this year is?" Gion said with a mysterious face.

"What is it?"

At this time, Seraph's curiosity was successfully aroused.

"Hourglass fruit!"

"Hourglass fruit? I've never heard of it. What are its abilities after eating it?" Seraphim couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe." Gion smiled extremely happily, and immediately introduced: "Superman is an hourglass fruit. The user can create an hourglass, and wherever it covers, time will completely stop."

"What! Completely still?"

When he heard this, the seraphim almost jumped up in fright. What kind of concept is this, completely still?

If you use a direct attack against an enemy, who can beat him?

"Of course, this complete stillness can only occur when the fruit is developed to its extreme. When you first start eating it, the effect is almost the same as the dull fruit."

"Phew~ You're going to scare me to death."

"Actually, ability or anything else doesn't matter. The point is that after eating the hourglass fruit, your appearance will be fixed forever..."

When Gion said this, Seraphim finally understood why the former was so diligent in the first place. It turns out that this is the key point!

"Okay, since you want it, Sister Gion, then I will participate in this so-called recruit competition, and I can repay you for your hard work cooking for me over the years."

"Hmph! I guess you have some conscience," Gion said coquettishly.

...

The recruit competition adopts an elimination system, that is, drawing lots one-on-one, and the two who are the same will fight one round, and the winner will advance until the top ten are competed!

Because only the top ten will be rewarded!

In this way, Seraphim advanced all the way and reached the finals easily.

"why?"

"what why?"

The seraphim looked at Bedells, who was two years older than him, in the distance with a puzzled look on his face.

This Seraphim noticed from the beginning that at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was already as powerful as a lieutenant colonel and a colonel, which was already quite remarkable.

"You are already an esper and don't need Devil Fruit at all. Why are you still participating in this competition? If it's for the prize money, then go catch pirates!" Bedels looked at the Seraph with resentment.

The seraphim was also caught off guard by the sudden hostility, and it took him a while to react.

"I'm here to participate for my own freedom. You don't care whether it's for the devil fruit or the bonus."

Since Bedders doesn't give him a good look, then the Seraphim naturally won't be hot-faced and cold-hearted!

The ending was as expected, with Seraph winning easily and getting the hourglass fruit.

"Seraphim, I don't care why you want to participate in this recruit competition, but you must not sell this Devil Fruit!"

Warring States, who was in charge of this recruit competition, handed a small box to the Seraphim with some pain, and finally gave a reminder!

After all, this Devil Fruit was too unnatural to be developed to the extreme, and Sengoku was afraid that it would end up in the hands of pirates, which would be troublesome.

"Sengoku General, you are overthinking. If Lieutenant General Gion hadn't wanted this fruit, I wouldn't have come to participate in the recruit competition."

The seraphim murmured, hugged the box containing the hourglass fruit, and left.

Hearing the young man's words, Zeng Guo had a strange look on his face.

A few days ago, He asked him if he wanted this devil fruit. He said that Gion wanted it, but Sengoku naturally didn't give it to him. But in the end, after going round and round, it ended up at Gion...

If I had known this, I might as well have given it to He directly, and it would have been a favor.

"Warring States, Warring States, you are called a wise general in vain, you really don't deserve your name!" Warring States shook his head helplessly.

...

"Is this the hourglass fruit? It's so ugly!"

Looking at the yellow fruit in his hand that looked a bit like a gourd, Gion looked disgusted.

"Okay, don't worry about whether it's ugly or not. Don't you want to keep your appearance forever? Then eat it quickly." Seraphim reminded from the side.

In the end, Gion endured the discomfort and took a bite of the hourglass fruit.

In fact, you don’t have to eat all the Devil Fruits. You will gain powers by just eating one bite. As for the original Seraphim... isn’t that to save your life? If you don’t eat it, you will starve to death!

"How? How do you feel?"

After nearly 10 minutes or so, Seraphim couldn't help but ask.

"I don't feel it." Gion shook his head and said, "It's just that there is a vague memory in my mind. It should be about the ability of the hourglass fruit."

After saying that, Gion threw the pen on the table into the air. Then with a wave of her hand, an hourglass-shaped shadow appeared from her body and wrapped the pen in the air.

The pen suddenly fell at an extremely slow speed, and it finally took nearly a minute to land completely on the ground.

Obviously, this is the ability of the Hourglass Fruit, which is very similar to the Slow Fruit, but has a higher upper limit than the Slow Fruit.

After all, the limit of the hourglass fruit is to stop time completely!

"It's not bad, it's quite fun. This hourglass fruit can not only slow down the time of the wrapped things, but also make it faster. In this way, my cooking speed will be much faster in the future."

Seraphim: "..."

While others think about how to fight, Gion thinks about how to cook. This brain circuit is amazing.

"Are Lieutenant General Seraphim here? Teacher Zefa has something for me to give to you."

"Ok?"

After walking out of the house, Seraphim saw a young marine holding a portfolio in his hand.

Seraphim took the file bag and opened it and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Say thank you to Teacher Zefa for me."

"Okay, the words must be brought."

After the navy left, Seraphim hurriedly said goodbye to Gion, then quickly transferred a few assistants from the army, drove the warship directly away from the navy headquarters, and headed towards the Grand Route.

Yes, the information in the file is about animal-type Devil Fruit users who can fly.

Cruzisika, the bird fruit·ancient species·gold-winged roc form ability user, is currently the vice-admiral of the navy branch of the G6 branch of the Grand Line!

In the information, Zefa said that ten years ago, Cruzcika could fly thousands of meters above the ground. It is unknown now, but it is definitely much higher than ten years ago!

And it's precisely this kind of person that Seraphim wants, otherwise how could he take him to the sky island?
