Chapter 4: Marineford
"Calm down!"
He exhaled lightly to calm his emotions. He is very experienced in this. When he practiced the will of observation, he always tried to achieve peace. As for controlling his emotions, he was still able to control them very easily.
Under John's control, I saw two more seeds appear in his palms, they quickly grew and germinated, and finally turned into two small green trees about two index fingers long, somewhat similar to the succulents that he had seen before.
"It turned out that this is indeed the ability of the plant. Could it be that what I ate was actually a plant-type devil fruit that creates plants and controls their growth?"
Obviously, it can actually produce plant seeds and control the rapid growth of plant seeds. This principle cannot be explained without ability. One can only say that the abilities of Devil Fruits are amazing.
The ability is amazing, but if you look at it from the point of view of the layman, then this ability is so-so. Plants do not have the power to deal damage. But this is only at first glance.
Thinking of such a similar ability, the first thing that came to John's mind was Hashirama's power from the Naruto world.
"Because it can be made to grow, I don't know if I can destroy it."
Looking at the small green tree in his hand, John had another idea, so he tried to get it under control again.
He saw that under his control, the two small green trees that had grown at last turned into a bunch of withered stems in his hands.
Of course, he can not only control the growth of plants, but also cause the plants he created to die.
John was overjoyed, even though he only got this ability today, he was already sure that the Devil Fruit he ate had absolutely extraordinary, and great potential.
That is to say, he made the right bet this time, this plant-type devil fruit has inexhaustible potential if he can develop it well.
The only question is whether he can develop the power of this fruit.
"Endlessly use it."
After more than an hour, John was so tired that he could not raise his arms.
In a small room-cabin at this time, plants and trees grow everywhere, of which half are green plants, and the rest of the plants in a variety of colors, including flowers and trees, the largest is a green plant almost a meter high. Little tree.
All the plants here were made by John, he used this ability non-stop for about an hour, eventually his physical strength was exhausted and he could no longer use this ability.
But unfortunately, it also found the problem. So far, the tallest plant he has managed to create is a small green tree almost one meter high. If he wants it to grow, he cannot do it.
But how strong can a one meter tall plant be?
If it was a dumb person in this situation, then he would definitely be disappointed, but John did not think so, he was very happy.
You should know that this is only the first time he has used this ability, he has just eaten a Devil Fruit, and this is the first time he can use the ability to reach a level beyond his expectations.
Not all Devil Fruits look like Logias. They may be strong, but unfulfilled potential. Most Devil Fruits are weak at first.
Like the Rubber Fruit, at first glance, this fruit's strength is really ordinary, but in the hands of the protagonist Luffy, the display of strength is really amazing. Who would have thought that a rubber fruit could be developed to such a degree?
Therefore, even if his fruits are not too strong right now, John is in no hurry to go anywhere.
According to the ideas in the brain, is he still inferior to these people?
Before entering the Navy Headquarters, John was surprised to find that the remains of the Devil Fruit he had eaten had rotted away.
His father hid it for 3 years, It didn't rot, but after taking a bite, it quickly rotted. This feature of the Devil Fruit really surprised John.
Suddenly, a horn sounded from the warship, and John's face changed dramatically, he immediately dressed neatly and quickly left the room.
"Build up!"
On the warship, Rear Admiral Norville, who commanded the ship, had a serious expression on his face and shouted loudly to the soldiers who came on deck.
This order threw soldiers from all over the South Blue into chaos. Previously, everyone was from warships of different branches (squads), and they did not know each other, and most of them did not even know the names of other people.
In this case, it is undoubtedly difficult to fill the formation quickly.
There were thirty-six soldiers in total. It took more than a minute to line up at height.
"Look at your scores. It is a loss that you are still chosen by the appropriate branches. Even the build is so slow. With your level, how did you fight pirates before? What's your face, competing for a spot at Marineford?" - in a strict tone, without showing the slightest mercy, Norville reprimanded, no one dared to argue with him, for everyone, the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters was already the highest officer they had ever seen in their lives.
In the huge South Blue, the number of branches (bases) of the fleet does not exceed 30. The reason why more than 30 people arrived is that some branches (branches) of the fleet recommended 2 personnel.
"I'm about to enter Marineford. If you want to stay after a year, you must do your best. During your aptitude test, these instructors will show you no mercy."
When John heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he caught the exact meaning of Norville's words.
A year later, Norville stated that he wanted to stay a year later. Does this mean that anyone who comes to Marineford will have the opportunity to study here for a year, and not in the way his father thought, can be weeded back?
If you think about it like that, then it makes sense. Even if all the soldiers of the South Blue are not as good as the soldiers from the Grant Line, this does not mean that there will be little talent. After all, they are recommended soldiers, and they will have some time.
If so, John is relieved, he is not afraid of ability tests, but knowing this, he may feel relieved.
Marineford, Marine Headquarters!
The warship slowly entered the headquarters of the navy, and from afar, John saw the huge complex of buildings of the headquarters of the navy.
John, who had not left the South Blue for more than ten years, was immediately struck by its greatness.
Even though Mariford was still far away, John could still clearly see the most special building in the center of the island. The huge and towering complex was like a city wall rising hundreds of meters. Two large maritime symbols were engraved on the complex. Feeling of solemnity.
In addition to this most conspicuous main building, there are four high observation decks around, each flying a white flag of the Marines, as if guarding Marineford.
In addition, there are many buildings, although not as tall as the main building in the rear, but they are also located throughout the island, thus forming a magnificent naval headquarters.
Is this Marineford?
Those soldiers who came from the South Blue with John were also extremely shocked when they saw Marineford. Compared to Marineford, their South Blue branch base was no different from a rural earthen house.
Rear Admiral Norville smiled at the shock shown by these soldiers. When he first arrived at Marineford, he was as shocked by them as they were.
Luckily he stayed at Marineford then, which he is now proud of;
Although those soldiers in front of him might stay here for a short time, in the end, it is likely that most of them will leave the headquarters and be sent to other branches.
