People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

Chambord Archipelago, Island 60.

Naval Base, Dock 1.

After receiving Sephiroth's instructions, the Logistics Department immediately mobilized all the coating craftsmen in the base to coat a small warship.

It took half a day, and while ensuring the safety of the coating, the coating craftsmen completed the coating of the warship in the afternoon.

Carrying an iron cage covered with black cloth in his hand, Sephiroth arrived at the base port. He first glanced at the small warship that had been coated with a layer of colorful resin film docked at the dock.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the fifty soldiers standing beside Frank.

He had ordered Frank to go to the Special Mobile Force to select fifty soldiers to go to Fish-Man Island with him.

These people are basically the old men who followed him for three years when he was the commander of the Special Mobile Force. Their loyalty is guaranteed, and Frank is very measured in doing things...

It's a pity that the talent is not very good, and there is no value in cultivating it.

Unless he is willing to give the other party a powerful Devil Fruit...

Although, for the past three years, Sephiroth has been immersed in scientific research most of the time every day.

However, the matter of him secretly hunting down the devil fruit users among the pirates has not completely come to an end...

Animal Department: Spider Fruit·Ancient Species·Grasner's Rose Ancient Wolf Spider Form.

Superman type: Chain Fruit, Lush Fruit, Color Fruit.

He hunted and killed twenty-eight ability users, but only four were obtained...

This made Sephiroth very helpless. Maybe he didn't find the right fruit to regenerate Devil Fruits, or there were some Devil Fruits that would not be reborn on ordinary fruits, which made him miss out on many powerful Devil Fruits. .

He had also gone back to the island where he obtained the vampire fruit to investigate.

He wanted to know why the Devil Fruit appeared there, and tried to study the mechanism of the rebirth of the Phantom Beast.

but……

He was speechless when he discovered that based on his existing medical knowledge, he recognized at first glance that the fruit on the wild fruit tree he had found before was actually a poisonous fruit...!?

If people eat it, their nerves will be paralyzed and their muscles will atrophy. If they eat too much, they will die!!!

Sephiroth secretly thought in his heart at that time:

Good guy, I just traveled through time and almost died again!

This made him wonder, is not every Devil Fruit bound to be reborn on the fruit?

After all, some Devil Fruits don’t look like fruits at all. For example, Chopper’s Common People Fruit looks like a mushroom...

This is very annoying. The Devil Fruit illustrated books are not complete in variety. Many of them only record names and abilities without pictures. Sephiroth doesn’t even know how to find the Devil Fruit rebirth materials!

This also made him more determined to develop artificial devil fruits.

Instead of trying to get lucky, it’s better to mass-produce it yourself!

Of course, those with Devil Fruit abilities should still be hunted...

What if I got lucky and gained powerful abilities?

Frank saluted Sephiroth and said:

"Report! Brigadier General Sephiroth, the supplies and personnel have been inventoried, and we are ready to leave at any time!"

"okay, I get it.

Hmm!... You go and call a new recruit named Vergo from the Logistics Department and ask him to go to Fish-Man Island with us. "

"Yes!"

Frank responded, immediately took out the phone, contacted the commander of the logistics department, and asked the other party to call Vergo over.

After a while, Vergo, who was carrying a long gun on his back and a small spoon stuck to his face, trotted up to the silver-haired young man.

"Report! Brigadier General Sephiroth and recruit Vergo report as instructed!"

"Yeah! Not bad, the spirit is very good..."

While speaking, Sephiroth raised his right hand and punched Vergo twice on the chest "Bang! Bang!"

Then, he put his hands behind his back and said with a smile:

"Virgo!... Why is a soldier like you who is excellent in fighting, shooting, and physical fitness assigned to clean toilets in the logistics department?

Presumably, you must have had doubts before...? "

"No, I resolutely obey the arrangements of my superiors!"

"Oh!? If you don't have any doubts, that means you are dissatisfied, right?"

"..."

When Vergo didn't answer, Sephiroth immediately laughed.

"Hahaha! Actually!... It was my deliberate arrangement to throw you to the logistics department to clean the toilet!"

"..."

"Do you know why?"

Vergo stood up straight and answered truthfully:

"do not know."

The surrounding soldiers had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces after hearing that Sephiroth had deliberately made things difficult for a new recruit.

In their impression, Sephiroth was excellent to his subordinates...

When he kills someone or fights, he goes first, sharing the benefits with everyone, and usually doesn't punish his subordinates unless they don't follow the rules and etiquette.

Therefore, when Sephiroth served as the commander of the Special Mobile Division, most of the naval soldiers in the naval base really wanted to be his subordinates and have a good time and drink with him!

"Hey~! Actually, I have good intentions!"

"..."

"When I saw your recruit profile, I knew you were a real talent.

Therefore, I will throw you to the logistics department to clean the toilet. "

Hearing this, the corners of Vergo's eyes twitched slightly, and he almost cursed.

but……

He then thought about it, Sephiroth was his boss, and if he still wanted to hang out in the naval base, he couldn't offend him, so he could only continue to remain silent.

"I am doing this to hone your will and observe your character!

I will conduct this assessment on you, and if you pass, you will be given key training.

If you don’t believe it, you can ask my adjutant Frank and these fifty brothers!

When I first joined the company, in order to assess their strength, I beat them all.

Do you think it is...? "

While speaking, Sephiroth also looked at Frank and the fifty soldiers.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Back then, Brigadier General Sephiroth beat us all up when he came."

……

"Yes, after he was beaten, we thought he was a difficult person to get along with, but we later discovered that he was really good to his subordinates!"

……

Listening to the discussions of those soldiers, Vergo felt a lot of curse in his heart:

Then you can also choose to beat me up and test my strength!

What's going on when you torment me like this?

A disappointed expression suddenly appeared on Sephiroth's face, and he sighed:

"Alas! But that's it!

They are different from you. Their strength and talents are limited, and it will be difficult for them to grow into independent naval generals in the future...

Therefore, after I tested their strength, I gave up testing their will and character.

but……

You are different. When you first became a recruit, your strength reached the standard of a military academy student and you were expected to become a naval general.

However, you enlisted in the army at the wrong time and missed the opportunity to enter the military academy.

Therefore, when your strength reaches the standard, I will directly assess your will and character.

Now...I declare, Virgo, you have passed my assessment!

From now on, you are officially transferred from the Logistics Department to the Special Mobile Force and assume the position of squad leader. "

"Thank you, Brigadier General Sephiroth!"

Vergo saluted the silver-haired young man again in a standard manner.

Normally, people who can hold the position of squad leader are usually non-commissioned officers or even lieutenants.

Vergo's situation was actually a bit against the rules, but he was appointed by Sephiroth, and Sephiroth had the final say on this base, so no one dared to object.

Those navy soldiers could only look at this recruit who had been in the army for several months with expressions of envy and hatred.

At this moment, Vergo's resentment towards Sephiroth also dissipated a little...

Um! ...When the time comes, I will tell Dover to stop the action against Sephiroth immediately. Now that I have gained his appreciation, my promotion should be much faster.

Speaking of which... last time Dover reported the matter between Sephiroth and the Pirate Empress to the Navy Headquarters, wouldn't the other party collapse because of this?

Vergo suddenly remembered this matter, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Yeah! Work hard... If you make a contribution to Fish-Man Island this time, I will give you a promotion and a salary increase!"

Sephiroth smiled and patted Vergo on the shoulder, then put his hands behind his back, walked through the gangway, and walked onto the warship.

At this point, an incident of workplace bullying was instantly classified as painstaking cultivation in his words!

There are two words for official, he is Shangguan, whatever he says is right, whatever he says is wrong is also right...
